So I don't know if anyone knows this or use the tumblr app a lot. But as for those who do use it, you realized that the app is only in portrait mode and no landscape. That bothered me a lot cause it is weird holding the Note 10.1 portrait, but that's just me. Anyways I found out you can actually make the app work in portrait mode with our Multi Window Manager from the app store. Sadly you need to use the pro version to do this. But for those who have the pro version like me you can make an app shortcut via Mult Window and set the app in landscape mode. All you have to do is:
1.) Long press the Home Screen
2.) Go to Shortcuts
3.) Scroll down the the App Multi Window Manager Shortcut
4.) Check on custom size
5.) Set the Length or the first one to 770
6.) The second one should be 1280
7.) Save it
8.) And Voila the Tumblr app is now in landscape mode
------------------------------------------------------------------------
FYI- This works on any other app that only has portrait view like Instagram, only app I could not get to work was the Cnet app.
I am not sure if this is connected, but after doing this once, Tumblr app now starts in ugly mode: half of screen - menu (left side), half of screen - posts, videos...(right side)
Even after deleting MWM
Here's screenshot

Are you holding that in portrait mode? This is meant for landscape.
EDITED:
Sorry! This all happened because of last update
Hi all,
Today I would like to introduce an app made by me. It is Dot Control.
So What things it can does?
Dot Control (Smart Gesture) - Make everything more easy - Gesture to control your phone​
Dot Control (Smart Gesture) substitute navigation bar ( back button, virtual home, recently app) completely with a movement on screen. You can a finger and move up, move down, move left, move right to perform a corresponding action such as back button, turn off screen, go to home screen, open notification, open recently app, turn on/off flash light, open any application what you want.
Key Features:
With a movement on screen you can:
- Menu edge (Slide bar, Slide app)
- Double tap to Look screen
- Virtual Home key
- Turn on/off flash light
- Open notification
- Open recently app
- Open any application what you want
- Open list of app you frequently use
- Automatically turn off screen when you put your phone into pocket, and open when you hold it.
- Capture screen for android >= 5.0
All above you can do with a movement
Display settings:
- With Dot Control (Smart Gesture) you can change color, transparent of list menu what you want and change color, size , position of Smart Touch on screen...
Especially, Dot Control (Smart Gesture) can work when lock screen, you can open notification, turn on /off flash light without open screen.

Nice app! But you forgot to indicate if this app needs root or not. And I agree with changing pokeball icon into something more like home button in pixel. The white solid dot. Keep up the good work!
Hello! I thought I should share a fairly simple solution to what I think is the Galaxy S8's worst feature: the navigation bar. I'm all for the bigger screen ratio but with such a large portion of the bottom end constantly covered by the navigation keys, I found myself nostalgic for my old S6's soft keys. Samsung's update to allow hiding of the navigation keys worked to an extent, but I found swiping up just to press the back key quite frustrating. This paired with the fact that there was no way to get the nav bar off the home screen and the S8's inability to use swipe gestures through apps like Pie Control or All in one Gestures was infuriating. Here is my solution to the problem.
Disclaimer: Please follow the steps in order as the apk listed will completely disable the navigation bar. There will be no way to navigate your device if you do not follow the prior steps. All credit for the apk listed goes to Tigerhoods. Thank you so much for your work.
1. Download the apps All in one Gestures, Pie Control, and App Cloner. Each app is essential to properly setting up this workaround.
2. Enable each app to use accessibility services.
3. Go into Pie Control and set up the bottom edge with a pie that has the back key, home, and recents. This will act temporarily as your navigation bar once the apk is installed. To set up Pie Control: turn on the bottom edge, go to level1 of edge, set up button 1, 2, and 3 with recents, home, and back nav keys (these nav settings are found under the Tools menu), and click the plus in the bottom right corner to save. Make sure everything is fully set up before proceeding.
4. Download this apk:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4188536&d=1497996764
Again, all credit for this download goes to Tigerhood. Amazing work.
Restart your device after installing to have the APK take effect.
This apk will completely disable the nav bar. To complete the following steps you will use Pie Control to use the back, home, and recents keys. If you wish to get the navbar back, simply go into settings, go into apps, scroll down to com.whalesplaho.frameworkresov..., click on it, and uninstall. I highly recommend completing all the steps before going back to the crappy built-in navigation bar.
5. Now that there is no longer a navigation bar and your phone is more beautiful than ever, it's time to set up a more permanent navigation bar. Go into All in one Gesture and enable swiping (make sure to allow it to use accessibility features: go into settings, accessibility, turn on for All in one Gesture). Turn on bottom area and set it to back (or recents if you prefer Samsung's style of navigating). Swipe from the left side of the screen to open the hamburger menu (or press the three lines to the left of the apps name at the top o the screen). Go into Personization then Edge Preference. I suggest you use my settings, but feel free to adjust to your own tastes once you get a feel for the app.
Opacity: 0%
Corner Size: 75px
Edge Sensitivity: 40px
Edge Width: 20%
Horizontal Offset: -20% (Make this a negative value so that it goes to the left!)
Vertical Offset: 20%
Swipe Distance: 0px
This will allow the bottom left of your screen to become the back (or recents) key. You can either swipe up from the bottom left or tap right where the bezel meets the screen. If it's too sensitive, turn the Edge Sensitivity setting down. If you wish to only use swipe and not be able to tap the key, turn up the Swipe Distance setting. If you accidentally hit the keys while typing (I rarely do), simply turn on Behind Keyboard under Personalization.
You may which to turn the opacity up at first so that you know where to press/swipe.
6. Since All in one Gesture only allows the bottom to be used for one setting, we must clone the app to make a virtual key for the other side of the bottom. Go into App Cloner, find All in one Gesture, press flip icon (to make it recognizable as the cloned app), and name it All in one Gesture2 (or something of the sort). Once the app is cloned, find it on your home screen and follow the same instructions laid out in step 5. One key difference: make sure to put the Horizontal Offset as 20% (this will move the virtual key to the right instead of the left). Also in Personalization, under General, I suggest turning on the light theme so you can tell the difference between the cloned and original app.
7. Now that the back and recents keys are set up, customize Pie Control to your liking. I like having the entirety of level 1 be a home key so that it is super easy to access.
8. Enjoy using your s8 the way it should be used.
Issues:
-The hard press home key does not work when the screen is on.
-Pie Control and All in one Gesture only work when the device is unlocked. If you go into Bixby, Camera, or one of the App Shortcuts on the left and right of your lockscreen it may seem impossible to get out of without a navigation bar/home button. To get out of the app you are in simply pull down the notifications shade and click on the settings icon. You will then be prompted to enter your password. Once the device is unlocked you can use Pie Control/All in one Gesture to navigate normally. UPDATE: If you have a Bixby remapper app you can enable the Bixby button to be used as a back button. I use BxActions and it works perfectly.
If for some reason the apk doesnt download, here is the thread I found it on:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...y-overlays-t3604341/post72746018#post72746018
The apk is found on page 84.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any feedback or get stuck on any of the steps.
For some reason after installing the APK the navigation bar is still there..
EDIT: I forgot to restart, I am an idiot lol
Make sure to restart your device after installing the APK. The navigation bar will disappear after you restart
thank you for the share. I successfully disable the nav bar. But i can't use any pie control to activate google assistant. any work around? @ juliang22

No problem. The workaround I found only is usable if you have Nova Launcher. If you don't, I highly recommend you download it and try it out. By far the best launcher on the market in terms of full user customizability. To get Google Assistant on Pie Control: Pick s level/button that you want, click on shortcuts, click on Nova Action, choose Voice Search. Not too hard.
Personally, I use BxActions so that I can use the Bixby button for Google Assistant. I have it set up so one click brings me to my most recent app, double click is a screenshot, and long hold is Google Assistant.
Hope this helps.
you are damn smart~~ Nova is my favorite too. Works like a champ.
thanks

Thanks for sharing. However, I use a much simpler solution: I've installed BxActions and am always one click away from full immersive mode. I got rid of the "point" soft button too - don't need it anymore.
yes as last post said since June or July firmware just click on point on the navbar on left and it will be full screen and hidden everywhere except on launcher, just swipe up from the very bottom of the screen to make appear navbar for a few seconds
(this option can be activated or deactivated on settings/display/navigation bar)

That is a possibility, however, I found it quite annoying having to swipe up and click to use the navigation keys. Also, swipe gestures (Pie Control) don't work and there was no way to get rid of the navigation bar from the home screen. Ultimately, I find this workaround to be much more convenient than Samsung's built-in fullscreen feature.
Thanks for sharing loving it so far ended up paying for app cloner so I could clone it a third time and get rid of pie control all together so much better this way and so far no issues I'll be testing it more and let you know.
This is absolutely brilliant, all without root as well.
Just curious, will it slow down the phone if i have 3 all in one gestures running?

It all depends on how much RAM you are using. If you are running a lot of memory intensive applications, you may notice a slight slowdown. I am running a lot of stuff on my phone and have no problems with 2 gestures running. So 3 could work, you just have to test it out.
I suggest testing out Pie Control before setting up a third gesture. Pie Control is the best form of multitasking out there. I have customized mine to get to all my frequently used apps. You can even have shortcuts and system activities (like flashlight). Really useful.
I used to use LMT but that needs root. It's working nicely with a 3rd clone atm.

Haven't noticed any slow down and the phone looks so much better. I prefer the 3rd gesture over pie control simply because of looks. Pie control could be better but I couldn't stand the look of the wheel especially as I just need it as a home button right now. Only problems I've run into is using ultra power saving mode and switching back somehow disables the function of the apk and disables all accessibility services I had previously enabled? Had to restart the phone to get rid of nav bar and turn all accessibility services back on. I'll keep testing it and report back. Somewhat complicated solution but quite elegant in the end result.
Can you provide a screenshot on how this looks like?

The screen looks normal, just without the Navigation Bar and with invisible virtual keys at the bottom bezel.

Or you guys can just use Swipe Navigation app to use the bottom edge like an invisible nav bar with all three buttons on the bottom edge without having to do all the app cloning stuff.

Yeah, I actually used Swipe Navigation for a bit but I found that it wasn't super reliable for some reason. Kept crashing and then I couldn't navigate my device at all. I find All in one Gesture to be the most reliable gesture app.
i'm using Swipe Navigation without any issues

Once the device is unlocked you can use Pie Control/All in one Gesture to navigate normally. UPDATE: If you have a Bixby remapper app you can enable the Bixby button to be used as a back button. I use BxActions and it works perfectly.
If for some reason the apk doesnt download, here is the thread I found it on:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...y-overlays-t3604341/post72746018#post72746018
The apk is found on page 84.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any feedback or get stuck on any of the steps.

I just use force press for home with all in one gesture swipe from left for recent and swipe from fright from back. Feels more of a natural extension to the OS ( used BBOS10 device as my messenger before upgrading to a PRIV)
anybody still use this?
the Samsung launcher and some Samsung apps like Gallery doesn't like with the removal of nav bar, for example the dock is still on the same spot even though there is no nav bar(used to be on the very bottom).
any workaround?

S22 Ultra, UK, with latest updates. I wish to create a routine (activated with a one-click widget on the home screen) that;
- turns off Bluetooth
- turns on airplane mode
- turns on power saving mode
This is straightforward to set up. The issue is that I cannot add the widget to the power-saving home screen.
This would allow me to turn this routine off with one click. It takes me multiple clicks to get out of that screen and then another one to turn off the routine. I see I can customize the icons on the power save home screen, but don't seem to be able to add my routine widget.
You can probably see that my desire to easily put the phone in and out of a low power mode. Anyone offer any suggestions or advice to achieve this? Back in the day I had a phone with a simple physical slide switch that would do just this task. Very handy!
What do you mean by 'power-saving home screen'?
The Modes and Routines app provides 2 types of widgets, and both can be added to your home screen.
Hi. When I select the 'Power Saving' option from the pull-down menu the phone switches to a simplified 'power-saving' home screen. That has a clock and 8 app icons. That is what I mean.

I have created a routine called Sleeping that does exactly what you want. Check it out.
Thanks for your efforts but unfortunately this is not really what I need.
- your phone is not seen to switch to a different home screen when power saving is activated. Mine does not.
- you have created a mode accessed via a shortcut from the standard home page but I run Nova launcher
I was able to figure out a two-click solution.
1. Modes and Routines>settings>Show Modes and Routines in the Apps screen to ON
2. This allowed me to add a shortcut to Modes and Routines (unfortunately not directly to the routine) to the Power Save home screen.
3. I configured a single widget routine for my Nova home page to turn the power save routine on.
4. When activated, this flips me to my power save home screen. But now I can select Modes and Routines from the icon list there (1st click) and then this takes me right to the Modes and Routines screen where I can deactivate the routine (2nd click).

This was your requirement. The routine I created does exactly that. I use Nova Launcher too and the widget on the home screen is a direct shortcut to the routine itself. With one click I can turn it ON, and with a single click I can turn it OFF too.
The only thing it doesn't do is change the home screen. I don't know what the purpose of that is, and if that is supported in Modes and Routines, you can add that too.
>>"This is straightforward to set up. The issue is that I cannot add the widget to the power-saving home screen."
This was my requirement.
With further research, the change to a limited power save home page was an activated option in Power Saving settings. If I turn this option off then it does not switch home pages and the standard widget works one click on and off.

So is this resolved for you now?
I never played with that option in Power Saving settings, because once you turn on airplane mode and turn off wifi and bluetooth, there is no additional power savings to be gained with it.
I guess you keep your WiFi ON in that mode so your selected apps can still function with minimal power draw.
