[Q] double finger swipe help

Hello users this is probably a very simple fix but I can't find a way to fix this. When you swipe down on the screen with two fingers you get the menus where you can change the brightness and go into the WiFi etc. In the top left corner is your name and a picture I want to change that picture and when I press it it comes up with my google plus profile I have changed my picture on there but it doesn't seem to change in this menu. I have included a picture because I don't know the name of this menu cheers guys :angel:

the picture comes from g+. change your profile image there and it should change(after a reboot or signing out then back into your account).

one-handed mode activity?

I'm trying to write a Tasker task that would, among other things, trigger one-handed mode on my S8+. Simulating the triple home button press doesn't work as it's too slow, and I don't want to use the swipe as it stupidly resets the size of the reduced screen to default (I prefer it a bit bigger). So now I'm trying to figure out what the activity is that launches when you put the phone in one-handed and trigger that directly. It does not appear to be something you can adjust through settings as I took a list of settings from adb before and after triggering the mode change and nothing was different. Any thoughts on locating this?

You can resize that window as well. Swipe from the edge of the screen as you normally do, then swipe towards the bottom of the screen without lifting your finger up.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks, that might be useful. But can Tasker simulate that input of swiping up and then down without lifting?

Update: logcat shows a few interesting messages when one-handed mode is started. The first output is "SamsungPhoneWindowManager: toggleEasyOneHand() enabled=1". Then there's some stuff that seems to control the screen shrinking animation and set up the background for the non-usable screen space, and then there's a vibration call from a package called "com.sec.android.easyonehand".
I figure my best shot at doing what I'm trying to do is to either find a way to send that toggle command to the window manager directly or figure out the right activity to start in that system package. Unfortunately it looks like inspecting the package manifest is a no-go. Anyone have any thoughts on the next step?
Edit: was able to get the manifest after all. There's an intent filter action called "com.samsung.action.EASYONEHAND_SERVICE". I've tried calling that with an am start command in terminal emulator and I get "unable to resolve intent".

So you could not find a proper solution? Im interested in this too

[APP][4.0+] iStart - one touch to start any app from anywhere

Hi everyone,
Do you want a start menu to start apps conveniently from any screen of Android phone ?
Please try iStart:
With iStart, there is no need to navigate back to home screen any more. iStart saves you a lot of taps and swipes each day
You can begin by using iStart's app organizer to set apps into groups, then launch any of them easily from a start menu panel that appears upon touching a start handle icon.
One-touch mode is absolutely convenient : keep your finger touched and swipe to the desired function on the panel, when releasing the finger the desired app will launch, or the desired action will be performed. Your thumb is now as powerful as a real mouse pointer !
The start handle can be positioned anywhere on screen that you want. If it is located near an edge it will be docked along that edge as a thin styled bar for easy swiping out.
MAIN FUNCTION
iStart works like a start Menu, with app groups being shown in customizable tabs.
Besides categorizing applications, you may also create shortcuts to any file or folder on your device and put them onto iStart for easy launching.
You may also create url links and put onto iStart for quick access: web url, sms compose url with ready-filled recipients, phone call url to any phone number, email compose url with ready-filled recipients. With these links on iStart, all your frequent actions or most favourite contacts are just one touch away.
System command actions are also made for your convenient use: turn-off screen, screen orientation setting, turning flashlight on and off, launch calculator app, launch calendar app, open system setting panel, start google assistant (Android L+), pull down notification bar, take a screen shot (Android M+), launch camera app, adjust media volume and ring volume, go back, go home, open recent applications screen.
PERMISSIONS
For functional purposes of iStart, following permissions may be requested at appropriate circumstances:
- Appear on top: iStart must be granted with this permission to show the start handle and the iStart panel. This is essential for iStart to work
- Storage access: in case you want to post your screen shots onto Gallery, you should allow this. This also enhances file shortcut creation function because you can then access more places on your storage when creating file shortcuts
- Do not disturb mode: in case you want to adjust ring volume to low level
- iStart accessibility service: this should be turned on for following things: pull down notification bar, navigating back (for use with a browser), open recent apps screen
- Device Administrator: in case you want to lock the screen with admin lock function. Note that this permission need to be turned off before force stop or uninstall iStart, unless you use the uninstall button of iStart itself.
- Make phone calls: this is used when you want to make a phone call from a iStart phone call link.
- Access phone book: in case you want to add people from phone book into phone call link or sms compose link
- Camera : this is to activate flashlight in old android devices
- Start at boot time: this is to auto start iStart when your device is restarted
Enjoy iSTART - one touch to start any app from anywhere. It's a simpler and more efficient way to use your phone

Ability to take picture when double pressing the power button on Android 11

Hi, in the latest version of the camera app i can't find an option to take a picture istantly when double pressing the power button. I'm able to open it when using the gesture but the new app lack the option to snap the picture once opened. Is there a way to install the old version of the app?
I tried to install an older apk with "app clone" but unfortunately it crashes on start up, no matter what option i select for the cloning process.
The feature they removed made my life so much easier at work so i would like to find a solution/alternative, anyone can help me solve this issue?
