Trying to have only WidgetLocker as a lockscreen. Deleted the Sense lockscreen but can't seem to disable the Android one. Coming from AOSP it had an option to disable that didn't wake the phone with any hardware button press as I use volume rocker to change songs while biking. Here's what I've tried:
- WidgetLocker disable lockscreen wakes phone up with any hardware button press
- Security - lockscreen - none doesn't disable the lockscreen when opening notifications, at least. Haven't tried when phone's been off for a minute.
- NoLock seems to be the same as WidgetLocker option
- Can't find .apk for Android lockscreen in Titanium. Is it an actual system app or in the framework?
I'm fresh out of ideas. Small annoyance but would like to get rid of the extra swipe to open my homescreen.
Sent from the bushes outside your house. Creepy points at max level.
Well, I hated the circle that pops up, when you hold the home button, so I made a little app.
If you hold the home button, on the device with soft navigation buttons, the ring with Google icon pops up, and you can click that icon accidentally, when you scrool up or swipe up. The Google icon launch the Google Search/Google Now app. That can be really annoying.
This app disables the Google icon, so you don't run Google Search/Google Now accidentally, when you swipe up.
That's everything for now.
Current version:1.1
Changelog:
1.1.1:
- Changed icon, since last update was denied by Google, probably due to icon
1.1.0: (Weird version number I know)
- Added option to lock the screen instead of doing nothing(you can now lock the screen after you swipe up from the notification bar)
- Added italian translation(thanks to Daniele Meucci)
- Added new, much nicer, icon
1.1:
- Added material theme for Android Lollipop
1.0:
- First release
Reserved again
OMG!! you are THE MAN!
awsome dude, i hated this S#it!!
The new version was updated, and will be soon available to download from Google Play
I'm running lollipop (Pure.White if you're interested) and its near perfect. The challenge I'm currently facing is around Quick Settings not being customizable, forcing me to go back to Power Toggles. But, when using Power Toggles and a couple alternatives, the toggles show up on the lock screen. Anybody come across alternatives that don't show on lock screen?
I believe this is theoretically possible. The notification telling me my Pebble watch is connected shows in the drawer, but not on the lock screen. Thanks all.
OK, sorted this out on my own. For anyone else, you want to make sure the app is using the lowest priority notification. In Power Toggles, that's "Not pinned and no icon" under Notification Position. You lose the ability to have it permanently at the top of your notifications, but that's minor.
Anyone know what the "Empty dish" button is for in the Notifications widgets?
I was playing around with the widget order in the notifications area.
Pull-down notification area > choose ellipsis > choose Button Order > list of available and used buttons appears
There was one widget called Empty dish (although it wasn't empty dish when I chose it). I put it in my list of buttons and then chose done. Whenever I select this button from the pull-down menu in notifications, I see:
Empty dish
Clicking it it brings up an overlay of 4 items on my screen:
Bits Fish
Chicken Treat
Not sure what any of them do but picking one just turns the screen blank.
Anyone else know what this does?
is this just an easter egg?
Nevermind, it's the easter egg from Nougat, the cat game: http://phandroid.com/2016/07/18/how-to-android-70-nougat-hidden-easter-egg-mini-game-neko/
My bad.
It's the Easter egg for nougat. You put those treats on the dish to catch cats.
Can't get cats
I followed the instructions for the mini game but can't see anything after I follow it? Can anyone enlighten me?
Jealous of the cool new gesture navigation feature on the Apple iPhone X, Android P, or OnePlus 5T/OnePlus 6? With Navigation Gestures, you don't have to go out and buy a new phone if you want to change the way you use your phone. This app brings gesture navigation to any Android device!
Best of all, with Navigation Gestures you can completely hide the stock navigation bar without root! This is the only gesture control app with this feature.
Swipe left, right, up, or down. Swipe up and hold. Tap. Double tap. Long press. There's a lot of ways you can interact with the gesture bar to control your phone. Don’t like how the gesture bar looks? You can customize its appearance! Here’s what you can do:

* Media actions are not guaranteed to work with every app. Media actions use standard Android APIs to work with most apps.
** If you notice that an app is "slow" to launch after using the pill to trigger the home button, that's because of an obscure change made all the way back in Android 4.4 KitKat. Unless you have this Xposed Module or a custom ROM installed with the patch, there's no way around it.
***Lock Screen is compatible with the vast majority of devices. How it works is like this: Makes screen brightness and display timeout minimum and then displays a fullscreen black activity until the phone actually enters sleep mode from the timeout (~5 seconds.) There are other ways to lock the screen but we decided against them, at least for this release.
****Screenshot action uses the MediaProjection API, which is normally used to record the screen. Here, we just record the screen for a single frame. This is the only way pre-Android P for it to work. Screenshots are saved to /Pictures/NavigationGestures

Frequently Asked Questions
Help, I uninstalled the app and I can't access my navigation bar anymore!
Please connect to your computer and run the following command:
Code:
adb shell wm overscan reset
Help, I uninstalled the app and the original navigation bar keeps hiding itself!
Please connect to your computer and run the following command:
Code:
adb shell settings delete global policy_control
Can we add a feature where the pill is in its own separate area so it doesn't overlap with certain UI elements?
No, sorry. We are already pushing the screen content down to hide the nav bar. Adding this feature would require us to push the screen content up as well. We can’t have it both ways.
There's a "white line" at the bottom of the screen!
This is NOT a bug. This is a side-effect of a change we intentionally made after version 1.0.0 because without it, many Samsung, Motorola, and Xiaomi devices were reporting major bugs (eg. black screen after unlocking which made the phone unusable.) The “white line” is caused by the navigation bar being hidden 99.99% but not 100% (ie. we hiding the navigation bar entirely except for 1 pixel.) So the “white line” is actually just your navigation bar that’s colored white. We added an Experimental Setting called "Use Full Overscan" which gets rid of the white line. Use it at your own risk.
Pill doesn't work with Samsung DeX/Samsung Good Lock!
Android prevents third-party apps from showing overlays on top of SystemUI apps like the status bar and lock screen. You can use the blacklist function in Behavior settings to make the original nav bar show in these apps.
Pill doesn't show when you open the camera from the lock screen, answer a call from the lock screen, or open a notification for quick reply from the lock screen!
Android prevents third-party apps from showing overlays on top of SystemUI apps like the status bar and lock screen. This also includes calls, apps, or notifications answered from the lock screen. The pill cannot be shown until you unlock the device.
Pill doesn't show in Facebook Messenger, Drupe, or other floating apps!
Go to Experimental Settings and select the "Keep Pill Shown in other Overlay Apps." Pick Messenger, Drupe, etc. in this list.
Pill doesn’t work with screen pinning.
We have no way of simulating a long press on the back button without root. A tentative solution we are looking into is detecting when the phone enters a pinned screen state and disabling the pill to bring back the stock nav bar.
Home action doesn't work on the OnePlus 5!
OxygenOS prevents the app from performing the home action if you both enable the software navigation bar and disable the "always enable home button" option in Button settings. To fix this, please enable the "always enable home button" option.
Pill keeps "jumping" up and down with the navigation bar!
This means you either enabled Immersive Mode manually (ie. not from the app) or another app triggered Immersive Mode which is interfering with our app. Here are some possible causes and solutions:
Nova Launcher: In the "Notification Bar" section under "Look & Feel," there may be a "Hide Navigation Bar" option. If there is, check to make sure that it is disabled.
LG G6/LG V20/LG V30/LG G7 ThinQ: Go to*Settings > Display > Home touch buttons > Hide Home touch buttons and disable the "lock/hide icon" option up top and uncheck every app in the list.
Samsung Galaxy S8/Samsung Galaxy Note 8/Samsung Galaxy S9: Go to*Settings > Display > Nav Bar > Show and Hide Button and turn off the toggle up top and uncheck every app in the list.
Feature requests
Is it possible to keep the pill in the same spot when rotating the screen?
We will be adding this as a feature in a future release.
Can we add an action to launch a shortcut/activity?
Yes, that is planned for a future release (premium.)
Can we add Tasker integration?
Yes, that is planned for a future release (premium.)
Can we add a swipe down and hold gesture?
Yes, that is on our todo list.

Is there improvements in performance or anything while rooted?

There's no difference with running this on a rooted device right now except it'll make setup easier (you don't need to use your PC for set up if you're rooted.)
In a future release we may allow for shortcuts/intents to be sent so you can customize the action to your heart's content (and potentially use root to do more actions.)
Also, if there's enough demand we may use input KeyEvent commands to inject button presses rather than the Accessibility API. This should give better performance but it requires root. It's not something we've implemented yet though.

Well, for me is no big deal. But for others, running ADB could be. I don't think it's right to not be able to skip that permission, since, you can(almost) disable completely the taskbar..
when the typing, pill is up-on the keyboard. it must always be in the bottom.
Wow.. cool :good:
@MishaalRahman: APK ?
asking for root permission on Samsung S9 plus SM-965F. without root permission app is not functioning
Great app but after I enabled Navigation Gestures. My icons/screen move to the right side. I'm using S9+ . Please advise.

That's by design so it doesn't interfere with the keyboard.

You can ignore the root prompt and follow the instructions to grant the permission manually by ADB.

That is very strange. This seems to only be happening on Samsung phones. We asked Max Weinbach who has an S9 to test it and he never had this issue. We'll have to figure out why that happens.
Thanks for this app, I'm having fun playing with it.
Using it on Oneplus 5t oreo stable 5.1.1 magisk root, all permissions granted, premium addon installed, nova launcher beta.
When I set the vibration to 0ms when I exit that page of settings the vibration gets automatically reset to the default 50ms.
This does not seem to occur on any setting from 1ms upwards. I am interested to see if anyone else can reproduce this behaviour.
The way the pill works with SwiftKey keyboard is interesting, perfectly functional but not an ergonomic location on a longer screen for me.
Edit: ninja'd by the OP, see why you've done it that way with the keyboard now.

I see now. It only happened when doing gesture up on the screen for "All Apps" the only way for me to make it normal again by turn the the screen off and turn it on again.
anyone know how to turn off that system prompt displaying over other applications on notification? kinda annoying...btw using emui 8 oreo 8.1
Working fine on my Xperia Z5 running stock nougat...
Pill on top of the Keyboard is the safest position in my opinion to avoid accidentally pressing it when tapping the space key..
I hope you can introduce more swiping features in your future updates.
Great work.
Edit:
In some games the pill disappears completely leaving no option to exit the game. What I did was to go to settings via control pannel.
