Press and hold on the Trigger to move it to any location.

thanks for the interest,
Strangely, the app isn't easily found in the play store. I'm guessing its not popular enough yet.
The link is under the pictures in the first post.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.varience.triggerlimited

Those with a Samsung device can download Trigger from the Samsung AppStore for the free version without the six gesture limitation.

Trigger just became even better than it already is!
Now introducing 2 New Panels: NotePad Panel, ClipBoard Panel!
Have you ever seen such a clean and beautiful notepad?
Now its easily one gesture away!
One Tip: For those who don't want to always have the Trigger icon on the screen, you can now switch to using Trigger as a Home Launcher.
Double Tap home to launch the gesture field, there's no need to keep the icon on the screen anymore.

Thank you so muck.

It should be in the store, however Samsung Apps is still verifying update v1.5, so it will be a while before v1.7 arrives on there.

:good:excellent app.. long tym user of trigger.. trigger pulling something that separate this app from hundreds of other gesture based Apps.. few suggestions from my point of view.. it will be handful if there is additional pull direction like southeast, northeast, southwest and northwest direction.. And also need additional SPL actions like back button simulation, kill task. kill all task, menu similar to aokp ROMs and lmt launcher app.. ..glad if they make into oncoming update..

Perhaps one of the best apps I've seen in quite a while. Seriously well done, from looking fantastic to being fantastic.
One constructive criticism, perhaps change the gesture panel enabler icon. Or allow us to choose another one. I personally wouldn't mind a simple grey translucent triangle that i could position in the top left corner of the screen. Unobtrusive and not unsightly at all.

Are you talking about the trigger icon?
Changing the appearance is actually a feature of the paid version.

one of the best apps,good job

must admit.. its a brilliant start... testing the app now...
one thing i noticed... If i keep the icon in the corner, like suppose the middle screen right corner then the swipe right option doesnt work..
similarly if its at the edge, like bottom right then the swipe right and swipe down options dont work
keeping the icon in the middle of the screen kinda defeats the purpose of it being unobtrusive .. just an opinion
(im on nova launcher with grid layout set to 6 x 4)

I'm afraid that's not something I can fix if the icon is placed in the corner or sides.
It's a trade off for putting them in certain locations.
Personally I keep mine close to the side, but with enough distance to still activate the actions.
However, maybe the next update will help.
Next update includes pulling the trigger in 8 directions! 4 more quick actions to work with, so it might make putting it to the side or corners more agreeable.

What's the battery drain like on this app? If it runs constantly on top of all apps, must be noticeable?

Click to collapse
Barely any battery drain at all. The only part that runs on top off all apps is just the tiny icon. Nothing else runs unless you touch it.
You can think of it as just your app containing one additional image and even if you leave it there, it won't affect the battery.
Unless you choose to change the icon to display the time or battery instead. Then it's more active and might affect the battery a little bit.

Problem with the app
Hallo.
I've bought your app for my Galaxy Note 2.
At the beginning it worked but after few configuration it started to abort and at the moment it is impossible to use it.
Is there any known bug for Note 2?
Is it possible to have a working release?
Thank you.

Hello, I've tried this app, awesome work and it seems to be extremely customizable.
However I can't think of a reason how this app can replace gmd, is it clipboard/note function?
Maybe you can emphasize on the differences to increase appeal of this app

[APP][4.4+] Galaxy EdgeBoard panel - device dashboard

A dashboard that displays current date, time, battery status and level, list of running apps (only rooted!) and list of favorite apps (customizable). It comes with 3 panels: one as described, one for running app list and one for favs. Almost everything is clickable including date, battery, time and icons of running/fav apps.
Originally made for Note Edge but works on other Samsung devices including Note8 and S9.
You need to enable the panel before it appears, see this tutorial.

Changelog:
Updated 10 May 2018 (v0.83):
bug: fixed crash on Android 8 when tapping tasks button
bug: set explicit light color for date/time (some devices would use black and black on black is hard to see)
Updated 2 May 2018 (v0.82):
bug: fixed possible crashes on Android 8
Updated 11 April 2018 (v0.8):
automatic refreshing of task list on the main panel when panel is being shown (can be disabled in prefs)
bug: fixed multiple issues with task list (not refreshing, missing apps when hide-favs pref if set)
minor: "tasks" buttons now call up Samsung's task switcher instead of task manager
minor: new icon
Updated 10 April 2018 (v0.75):
favorites can now be reordered by dragging
added Phone button to main panel (to make up for missing Phone app from favs), can be hidden in prefs
minor: added battery level text to landscape (some people requested it)
minor: added indication to tasks panel if task list is unreadable
minor: hiding Clock/Calendar/Phone apps from task list, if pref "hide favorites from running tasks" is set
Updated 8 April 2018 (v0.7):
Samsung Slook SDK was updated to 1.4.0 which hopefully fixes compatibility issues with recent phones
bug: fixed dispaying non-bitmap app icons (becoming more and more common) - e.g. IMDb
bug: tasks are now started wtih FLAG_ACTIVITY_REORDER_TO_FRONT | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP flags; previously they didn't and this caused new instance to be started even for running tasks (sometimes causing data loss)
minor: tapping on current date now brings up Clock app (with Alarms, Timer, etc.) instead of date/time settings, unless the former is missing
minor: by default, hidetasks preference is false unless the app was made system
minor: added indication if EdgeBoard was made a system app
minor: added link to this XDA thread
Updated 13 May 2015 (v0.6):
fixed landscape not working for all 3 panels
added options to hide tasks or favs from the main panel to give more room to another list
increased spacing between items somewhat
fixed running task list being empty on the main panel
Task list: Android has removed access to running tasks for regular apps since Lollipop (5). However, if your device is rooted then you can make EdgeBoard a system app and this will remove this limitation. How to do that is described in the app's preferences screen. Unless you do that, refresh button won't work and task list will be always empty.
Feature suggestions:
- see why folders don't work
- show status icons like on the statusbar (signal, etc.)
- (automatically refresh task list) - done in 0.8
- (see why Dialer/Phone app isn't available in fav list) - Phone is actually part of Contacts, it's not a separate app with a separate launcher - added button in 0.75
- (drag-reorder favorite items) - done in 0.75
- (horizontal list scrolling in landscape) - wontfix - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76190042&postcount=32

Fantastic panel.
How much time beetwen a refresh and another for the running apps?

This is one of/the only big problem of this panel. I am yet to set up some service or alerter to automatically refresh it. As of now the panel doesn't refresh it at all but you can do that manually by expanding the task list of the panel (click on the "stack" icon above the list) and hitting on the refresh button there.
The panel was just approved on Samsung GALAXY Apps, I will keep it updated there so I recommend you reinstall it from the store and then update it from time to time waiting until I figure how to properly handle the running task list. Other than this the panel is finished.

OK, I noticed another thing, If I swap between two apps calling them from EdgeBoard Preferred panel, they swap slowly than using the normal preferred panel.
I hope I'm clear.
It's like every time I click on icon app on EdgeBoard panel, a new instance is created instead of calling that present in memory.

Nice. Very useful app.
Icons seem a bit close together vertically. Any way to get some more space between them, as I keep hitting the wrong one. Or alternatively make them a bit smaller?
On road map, any plans for folders or drag and drop to reorder icons?

Hey guys, just a quick note. I've got some valuable feedback about this (here and elsewhere), I'm aware of bugs around the task list in latest Galaxy Apps version and I'll be fixing them soon.
@arbit12 I'll add a setting to tweak the look of the main panel including the distance between the icons (I've crammed them together so 5 icons fit but that's probably not everyone's choice).

fixed landscape not working for all 3 panels

Download updated APK from the first post. Samsung Store is being slow so it'll be some time before they roll out the new version.

Great app. Ty for taking the time to do this i appreciate it very much

Re-arrange
Thanks for a great edge panel! Nice work! The only thing i miss is the possibility to re-arrange the icons/programs. I noticed that it might be a future function and I keep my fingers crossed that you have the energy to fix it. But again, thank you!

Hi. Sorry I am a bit of o noob. This is an app only for Note Edge? I've installed it on my Note 4 and nothing happened. I enter in App put some preferences, but what from there? Thank you and excuse me if I am annoyng.

Hi guys I have a question, I can't see any app in the panel it is always empty, I'm using the running apps and please tell me if I need to do something else because I never have an app over there

Good app but need some more work
Great upp idea but the icons looks very small and when i touch one of them some time ti goes to another app
please in next update make icons a bigger in size and wider panel

edgeboard another major problem
The app can't pay pass the lock screen and open the app directly you have to unlock the screen manually each time.
can you plz fix it .

Is this still in development?
fundaprob,I wanted to know if you were ccontinuing development on this great project.
I would love to see the issues you outlined addressed and solved.
If you aren't planning on updating it, then is the source code anywhere if one might want to pick it up?
Sorry if these are obvious and dumb, but I really love this panel and I want to have a project to focus my attention on.
Thanks,
Zuffle

HEy, If I have my phone in landscape mode, I can't see my battery percentage...? Please can you fix it?

Hey guys, I'm back.
Nice to see some people are still using my panel. Nobody happened to make an improved version in this entire time?

The panel width is fixed by Samsung, I can't change it. So I can't make icons bigger without cropping them (they're square). That's as much space as I could use.

This is impossible due to security. If you put file manager on the fav list and somebody gets your locked phone they can pretty much mess it up with that file manager without having to unlock. So Android won't let you do anything except using the camera in a limited way.

It's impossible due to limited screen space. There's the iconic indicator with ~25% step so you can generally get an idea of how drained your battery is.

Yes, yes and probably yes. I'm planning to finish the project by fixing those bugs soon. I'll probably put up the source code as well.
This was a draft project I did in maybe 2 days right after getting hold of my new Edge and I'm surprised nobody made a better version yet (or did someone?), it's simple and essential to Edge if you have a few days on your hands.

EdgeBoard is my new home screen
This app is nice! My home screen now has 3 icons. The ones I use all the time are on EdgeBoard. I'm running Marshmallow on the S6 edge+. The Apps Edge panel has two columns of full size icons. I don't mind the small icons on EdgeBoard. They look better. I have run into a minor issue:
When I edit the EdgeBoard panel settings, should I be able to add apps directly to it? Or can I only show apps on that panel by editing the Favorites panel and enabling "show favs on EdgeBoard"?
Changing the apps (favs) on the EdgeBoard panel is tricky. I have to enable the EdgeBoard Favorites panel, edit it, and then use it to make the changes show up. Then I can disable the Favorites panel and just use the EdgeBoard panel.

[XDA Spotlight review]
What is it for:
Use a computer-mouse-like cursor/pointer to control big smartphones like the Note series effortlessly with one hand. The perfect app for power users that make extensive use of swipe gestures for navigation, glide typing keyboards etc. Check out the Imgur album for short videos clips!
How-to:
Swipe over a screen edge to start Reachability Cursor. If you hold your phone with your right hand, use the right screen edge. Drag the tracker to move the cursor and tap it to click. The cursor disappears automatically when you don’t need it anymore.
What is the monetization model:
Freemium. You can use the core app for free without any ads and purchase the PRO version when you need the advanced features.

I think this is a Chrome feature and not a bug . It looks like Chrome enables this "feature" when it detects at least one active Accessibility Service. I found a Chrome flag for this but it's disabled by default and doesn't change anything .
BTW: You probably already know this but you can reveal the old overview by swiping down the omni-box/url-box.

Hey OP I really like your app. I have two questions.
1. Is there any way to make your app play nice with Samsung One Hand mode? I have an S7 on Oreo and when I triple tap home to activate one hand mode it's disabled (which you obviously know because there's a pop-up). Would privileged mode make both of them work together?
2. Is there any way you could adjust the travel of the cursor? In my most comfortable hand position I still can't quite reach the opposite top corner - maybe an accelerating cursor or a logarithmic travel curve? I have no idea how you would implement it to be honest but it would be a cool pro feature. Here's a gif showing what I mean.

great app, works like a charm, just wished pro version is little less expensive

We covered this app on the Portal, if you want to add this link into your OP: https://www.xda-developers.com/use-tall-android-phone-one-handed/

Is it possible to make this work with the Blackberry Keyone keyboard?

Looks quite useful, thank you for developing it. Bought the pro version to support you.

1. The privileged mode will help as long as you don't use both actively at once (revealing the cursor in one-handed mode). TBH, Samsung's one-handed mode + accessibility services with the permission to perform gestures don't work together. This part of the system is just broken. Activating the one-handed mode leads to the described bug and activating an accessibility service like this while one-handed mode is active will screw with your touchscreen coordinates until you turn off the display.
2. You can adjust the speed/sensitivity etc. by changing the size of the cursor area & tracker area in the PRO version.
Main Screen -> Settings -> Behavior -> Cursor & Tracker Area
What you want to do is basically:
make the tracker area as big as possible but easily accessible for your thumb.
resize the cursor area to cover up the hard to reach part of the display but keep it as small as possible
Think about the tracker area as a smaller mirrored version of the cursor area. E.g. Decreasing the tracker area will speed up the cursor. I really have to find a better explanation for these things because it's indeed a little bit hard to understand.

I understand that the price seems pretty high for just a pointer and I already reduced it a little bit this week but I have my reasons for the price. Is there an important feature that makes the free version unusable for you?

Keep the phone on your desk or bed in tent-style stand mode.
Cover screen stays on until you manually disable Flex Mode or fold back your phone.
DEVELOPMENT STATUS:​
The OS requires some heavy sustained development effort to deliver a feature complete version. The OS has come a long way and it’s mostly stable now as reported by majority of the users on Z Flip 3.
CoverScreen OS IN ACTION:​
​
SNAPS OF Z FLIP 3 RUNNING CoverScreen OS (Waiting for physical access to Z Flip 4 for fresh photos):​
THE ORIGIN STORY:​​Been working on this project since the original Z Flip, but unfortunately had to suspend development due to cracked screen (that countless folding/unfolding while testing.)
​
The release of Z Flip 3 with a bigger cover screen was enough incentive for me to be excited about the project once again but unfortunately I again hit a bottleneck as the screen started bleeding this streak of green light right at the center and sometimes whole of second half.
Fearing a cracked screen once again, I had suspended the development yet again… but… that cute little cover screen… here we are.

NAVIGATION SYSTEM:​
DOWNLOAD:​After thousands of unfolding/unfolding, happy to announce that, beta version of CoverScreen OS is now available for open testing on Google Play store!

Big thanks for this creation. Im getting my first Flip tomorrow and this looks like an awesome app to use with it.

Awesome! Let me know how it goes!

Been using this since yesterday and haven't ran into any issues at all, works great for a beta

Stay tuned, more features are incoming...

I used it on my flip 4 but ran into an issue with an app I use for work (3CX) it shuts the vibrating notification off after 1st vibrate and it goes silent. Had to uninstall in the meantime. Other than that I loved all the options and being able to open apps without having to open the phone.

Hi there! I am glad you like the features.
Regarding your specific use case, I am not sure if I can try the App (3CX,) does it allow a public account? Did you enable the VoIP Caller ID for 3CX by turning on 'Universal Caller ID'? If so, that would be the likely cause of it, as supporting Caller ID for unknown Apps is 'experimental' at the moment. If you disable it, you should have no problem with your specific use case, let me know how it goes!

I did disable it, I had it enabled only for the supported apps on my side but it continued to misbehave on me. I'll try a couple things later tonight and let you know

UPDATE: Did a reinstall, restarted the phone and 3CX is behaving correctly now.

I remember when all the coverscreen launchers originally started you had to delete the Samsung Health app to install, is this still the case???? It would be awful nice to know before reading any further or bothering with the download and installation as I refuse to delete Samsung Health. Do you have to delete the Samsung Health app to install? Yes or No?

Great! Thank you very much for the info! I will have to check it out then!

Looking forward to trying, but not a fan of subscription fees. Thanks for inventing it.

Hi !
I've installed CSOS on my Z Flip 4 and I can't manage to use widgets...
I swipe from right to left as explained in the tutorial but it keeps showing samsung widgets.
EDIT : This issue is resolved in the latest version (100+)
The text written with keyboard (or voice dictation) does not appear in text field in gmail app.
But for the subject field, it is OK.
For SMS, with native samsung app, when text is written, the keyboard disappear so SMS can be sent -> OK
With google message app, as long as cursor is in the text field, the keyboard keeps appearing, even if text as been written and confirmed, the keyboard appears again and again... Text cannot be sent.
Otherwise, super great app, makes the z flip 4 a lot better !
I wish i can get the full version with unlock features but the high price and bugs stops me...

Hi! This is the original and first implementation, that discovered a clean way to display over cover screen of Z Flip phones. CoverScreen OS never required any dirty hacks involving uninstallation of other Apps or anything similar to that.
The hacky ones out there had come to full stop at development, it's CoverScreen OS which finally showed a real way to display over cover screen, added universal ability to add any widget and a ton load of other features.
Go ahead and try it out!

Hi there! To be honest, the existing pricing already is very hard to sustain the development efforts, because only a very tiny fraction actually contribute to the project and this is so niche that the small set contributors actually is really tiny. That being said, you can always email me, I might be able to do something for you!
BTW, even the most plain phone case for our Z Flip series costs more than the base lifetime subscription to CoverScreen OS, and here we are talking about a software that is continuously updated (released over 117+ versions so far) and enhances the experience of our $1000+ phone.

3 very important tips for developers

If you are an app/ software developer, here are three very important UI related tips for you:
1. Design for least number of taps: Users should be able to access/ use a feature with the least number of taps. I often find that frequently used parts of an app require one or two additional taps because of where the feature has been located. This is inconvenient and avoidable.
2. One-handed use: UI should be such that the app should be usable with one hand. Make use of bottom bar instead of top bar.
3. Use Filters (including Search): Filters are the most efficient way of organizing and finding things, without having to move things around. Implement it wherever possible.

Spot on with the multiple taps and search.
I never get use to using a bottom nav bar though like in the Samsung browser.
Lol, I gave up one handed use when I got the N10+ I want that extra display real estate so it's a fair tradeoff for me. That long display means the top of the display is more easily in my view than the bottom.

When Google Search Bar was launched, all launchers would place them on top of the screen. Later, that was moved towards the bottom and I don't think anyone places the search bar on top any more. On my Homescreen with Nova Launcher, it is right below the dock, which is very convenient. It is only a matter of getting used to the new layout.
Bottom bar is even more required today because all phones now have large screen sizes. If top of the display is more easily in your view, then you would need the bottom bar even more because the address bar is not what you want to keep looking at. You want to see content more than the address bar. I keep the address bar at the bottom wherever the option is available (e.g. Vivaldi browser).
Even though OneUI and other ROMs have a nice one-handed mode, I don't use it that often. If apps can make features accessible with buttons placed at the bottom than at the top, they would make the usability even more convenient. That combined with swipe gestures would make for a perfect UI design.
Take a loot at this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm inside a photo album. If I want to filter out just the videos, the menu is at the top:
If that menu (action bar) was at the bottom, it would be more convenient to perform the desired action.
This is just one example. There are several other uses I come across every day where a bottom bar would be much more convenient than a top bar, and as mentioned before, if swipe gestures are combined with the bottom bar (e.g. for switching tabs), the design would be perfect and much better than current implementation in most apps.

I definitely don't want a search bar on the bottom as I never use Google Assistant and peck everything out. Towards the bottom is out of my line of sight. I use Finder occasionally never the Google Search bar though. Just don't trust Google at all... they become less of an asset and more of a liability each year.
Control boxes towards the top right work well though.

The only advantage I see of having controls on the top of the phone is to force two handed use, which reduces the chances of dropping the phone and damaging it.
Otherwise, it is just a matter of adjusting your line of sight and getting used to it.

I almost always use 2 hands with the N10+ and I'm right handed. Lefties want the reverse side of where I want the controls.
Regardless the user should have full control of placement.
My current control layout. A whole different animal.
The green zone is the sweet spot and easiest to hit.
Red: DigiClock's hidden quad switch zones, 1&2 are used a lot.
Blue: One Handed Operation plus, zone A&B used the most. Controls I intentionally want to be harder to toggle are on the left.
Yellow: Clipboard Edge, somewhat out of the way to avoid false triggers, but still within easy reach.
The N10+ does have a one handed mode but I never use it. Flip tops were the last phones I used like that.

Navigation gestures take care of the problem of being right handed or left handed.
The Edge panel and One Hand Operation+ do make phone usage a lot more easier and quicker. Here's my setup:
But all these are OS related. App Developers would do well if they can implement the suggestions made to make the experience within the app better.

One Handed Operation plus is a great app with many options. You don't even want to know how many of the switch zones in it I'm using now
It lacks one critical thing, backup capabilities.
Apps should allow export/import backup files to card, hdd, etc. That makes a huge difference and adds value to the app. I will deliberately choose an app that has over one that doesn't especially complex ones. I love ColorNote as it automatically will backup to my SD card or cloud if you wish among other features.

I think many of the popular apps do have an option to backup and restore configurations. This is even more important for local apps that don't work off the cloud. I use Google Keep and Microsoft OneNote purely because they are cloud based, and allow me to access my notes on any device I want. This is also true of other types of apps. I have multiple devices running on different OS platforms, and so this becomes an essential criteria for me, as they make life much easier.

I agree these are important points. Another would be
4. Do not make settings activities with an endless list of checkboxes. This is tiring to look through and makes it hard to find the option you need. Instead, distribute the settings to dialog windows accessible from locations in the UI where they apply. Optimally such that the effect is immediately visible.
I think 1, 3, and 4 are implemented quite well in App Finder. 2 should not be important here since this is not an app one normally uses while doing other things.
Here for comparison a settings menu from Mixplorer (which is otherwise in many regard an excellent app of course):
The list is even longer.

That's true. A little bit of categorization or grouping can be helpful in such cases.
