Auto Hide Taskbar

Hey bro i get this app from the market Honeybar it work great with root access.
I work with touchwiz work 100%.
Program tested MX Video Player,Dolphin Browser HD.

It works well and I suggest using Button Savior in conjunction. Barely seen my taskbar in a week

Works pretty well, main problems I have with it are accidentally re-enabling the taskbar in games (tapping near the bottom), and also accidentally hiding it when trying to hit the 'menu' button in portrait mode. They're too close together so it's hard to avoid hitting it.
I asked the author about the possibility of other trigger locations, or gestures, and he responded but didn't sound like he planned to do anything soon.

I installed HB myself, and although it is nice in some ways to get the taskbar (I use that reference with tongue'in'cheeck) out of the way, there are too many apps I have that place "menu" in the location of the hidden button even when I set it to shift left. Many apps I have to rotate to landscape to get to the apps settings menu hidden behind the shift-left positioning for HB. It's just not a sound UI choice.
The option to just leave the taskbar hidden and use Button Savior is better, but it's like using one hack to make another one work halfway correctly in its effects. HB needs more development and it doesn't look like it's going to happen as of now.

Thanks very much for your info. Yeah... this Button Savior is a real true name in case of the HoneyBar's gone somewhere..

Problem I see with using Button Savior all the time is that you do lose the notifications.. and then it's still easy to accidentally bring back the real bar when playing games etc. Oh well.

I don't know about the games... the notification is hiding except the sound but the real trouble is when the call is coming.... you have to activate the task bar to bring back the panel "Answer or Denied" (!!!)
FYI

I did indeed get quite angry at the loss of notifications but I was able to (sort of) get around that by changing the screen density to 171 using Blade Buddy. This set me back to a 2.x launcher.
It doesn't really work 100% however as browser, Gmail, Google Talk will constantly crash. I was able to work around the browser by just getting another browser and Gmail by uninstalling the Honeycomb version of Gmail and installing the Gingerbread version. I didn't care enough to do anything more than uninstall Google Talk.
On the positive side I no longer have to deal with the taskbar. Ever.

Does the Gingerbread version have the Gingerbread UI? i.e. without the multi-paned stuff? I tried loading a Gingerbread version a while back but it didn't work (just crashed). I prefer Gingerbread style -- more room for the content rather than lists of labels.

Yes this is exactly my only issue with honeybar. it would be nice if we could choose the right side as the "offset". Even in portrait I have space just to the right of center that would allow access to honeybar on/off and not interfere with the menu on a lot of apps.

There's a much better way to do this. Using tasker, I have a profile set up that auto hides the toolbar for certain apps and then restores it automatically when I switch away from them.
Follow the instructions in this thread:

Yes but how do you switch away from them?

That is actually what I am trying to figure out how to do. I am trying to set it up when in specific apps it takes away the task bar but also only within these apps after something... (haven't really figured that out yet) happens it will bring it back for an exit. In a perfect world I would love to be able to press both volume buttons to close an app. Which in this case would be perfect but tasker can't do that...

I'm using task switcher pro. It lets you map a gesture to the back button or home button.

what might be cool is to "shake" device to bring back the bar.

you guy also can use AutomateIt... kind of like tasker but to me it more friendly user...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123423
and the pro version is cheaper too...

Using tasker I did manage to make the bar go away by shaking. Instead of setting programs to do it make it toggle the bar by using a shake. I don't have it in front of me to do step by step but if someone wants me to I can put it up.

I would most certainly love to see that "How too" Zadeis.
Thanks.

Here you go!

OK the link smaug408 put up leads to a guide on how to set up a task that when an App starts it will remove the bar at the bottom. The thing is though you no longer have a back button and get out of the app unless it has a dedicated exit button.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301857
I take no credit for the premade files for tasker. The thanks goes to the creator Quietthinker through that link.
-First Open the link and download the attached StatusBarToggle.zip and place the files into /sdcard/Tasker/tasks (in this case you will only need the StatusBarToggle.tsk.xml, the StatusBar_Hide.tsk.xml, and the StatusBar_Show.tsk.xml files)
-Second open tasker and go to the "tasks tab" and tap and hold the Tasks Tab at the top. An options window will come up but select Import and import all of them into tasker
-Third go to the profiles tab and tap the Green plus at the left and give it a name. ShakeToToggle can work but you can name it whatever you like.
A context window will popup and you will select Event and then the Sensor Category and finally select the Shake Event.
You can mess around with the setting for the shake gesture now or tweak it in to your liking after everything is set up up to you.
-Forth once you have the setting you like press the green check mark, select the StatusBarToggle task and you are done. Now when you shake your tablet side to side it will make the status bar go away.
Now I just happened to figure out that you can shake instead of using an app for the context. I take little credit for how this works.
This method requires Super User Permissions. It will ask on the first toggle of the bar if you allow it to remember it afterward, if not it will ask each time.

Great app. Works perfectly

[Magisk20+][OOS9,10][CustomROM]Fingerprint Swipe Gestures(Back,Home,Recents,Sleep)

Fingerprint Swipe (left,right,up for Back, Home, Recents/Sleep)
The third party custom fingerprint apps were not working after Pie update, which was so useful since this is a huge phone, so made a custom module inspired by rori's module.

You can't customize on the go. You can unzip the module zip and alter the key layout file to customise the swipe gesture values to the required one if you know the particular key value for that action.
For example, Key value for RECENTS menu = APP_SWITCH
Make sure you don't change the power button values.

True, this is so convenient since I started using it from nexus 6p days. One of the useful addition in Oreo.

I unzipped the file and I found where to configure the values, but there are 8 of them. I know "Up,Down,Left,Right" but what are the other four? Also how do you know which is which. I mean which one represents Up, represents Down, represents Left....
Please forgive me if this is obvious I'm new to this process.

Works flawlessly on ob21 | op5t
Many thanks OP for this ! Works flawlessly.

Great mod and I have you rep on the other thread!
So when I'm on the home screen and finger down it shows quick settings, but when I finger up to minimize quick settings it automatically shows recents. I know that that's how you designed it but would it be possible to make it so that it closes the quick settings back first and back to home screen? Then I can finger up again to show recents. I hope my explanation isn't confusing.
Thanks

As you can see in the op post, when you want to close the quick settings use swipe left (Back) or swipe right (Home). Else I can only make a separate module with swipe up making notification close and recents action removed.
And coming to the complex action you have request where a same gesture works differently based on the current situation, its not possible in the file I modified. I need to look into other files to understand how things work.

In the order
up
Left
Right
Down
Other values may represent something else, maybe like long pressing in camera clicks pics, long press from locked device open payment service. But am not sure yet.

bypass fingerprint lock?

So I was messing around with some settings today and using the double tap power button to launch camera from either ambient display or the lock screen. Well that's all fine and dandy and it works but I also let's anyone unlock your phone cause once in camera app you can hit the home button or back button and it'll allow access to the phone in its entirety. Kinda a fail set up. Hopefully fixed. Truly IDC caus no one uses my phone that I don't trust and I NEVER leave it anywhere that I feel wouldn't be safe. Let alone on table at Starbucks or a bar like I see sooo many people do.
All input is welcome on this subject

i couldn't get mine to unlock, but then again I am using Navigation Gestures not the Nav Bar

Nevermind I'm a retard, but as I stated I was messing around with settings today. I set the "on body" to keep device unlocked. Lol live and learn right?

Honestly I really really wanted to use the gestures, make things feel new and all coming from my old phone but truly I can't they are too show. I always use the double tap recent to almost instantly go back to last open app and switching apps is world's faster this way.

I've never heard such kind of gestures. Which phone/magisk module was that ? Google pixel ?
I also use gestures but once my thumb is on the top half of the phone it's a long way to reach the bottom of the screen [emoji2356]
So I couple it with pie controls

I use pie controls as well. All phones with Oreo and above have the option to double tap the recents button and it will instantly switch back to the last app open. Say I'm in Facebook and leave to Samsung browser. If I double tap quickly on the recent apps button. I can switch back and forth very quickly between the 2 apps.

Edge Panel Rarely Works

Hi all,
I've been searching all over the Internet but I can't find any solution.
The edge panel on my Z Fold 2 is correctly enabled in the settings with a handle position on the right side of my screen. Screenshots attached (they're in Dutch, but everything enabled as you can see)
When I try to use it, it only works like 1% of the time. Most of the time, nothing happens.
Is anyone else facing this issue? Does anyone know how to solve this?
Many thanks in advance!

Try disabling all power management... destroyer of worlds.
Clear system cache.
If you've done any major firmware updates... factory reload time.

I had to turn on touch sensitivity. Also, I use 3 different things too get the desired options, edge panel for shortcuts and paired apps, one handed operation for direct access to certain apps/functionality, and an app called panels so I can group certain app# together (like work apps on 1, personal apps on a different one, etc)

Thanks for your replies. Unfortunately, neither work. Even when using the display edge panel functionality in one handed operations +, the edge panel just won't show really lost on what's causing the issue and what could solve it

Is the problem on both front and inside screen? Does playing with the touch width on the one handed app make a difference?

I wasn't suggesting One Handed Operation plus would fix the Edge panel* but rather replace it.
I had issues with the Edge panel for a while on my 10+, it works fine now. Play with it.
Even works with One Handed Operation plus.
Try clearing it's data.
Make sure all power management is disabled including any 3rd party ones as they will mess it up.
*I use for the cut/paste panel but that's about it

Thanks again to both!
@blackhawk, I understood correctly, played with power management settings, cleared data and tried emgee's suggestion, but nothing works. I'll keep on playing with the settings until I hopefully find a working solution, really strange, don't get what's going on. Thanks again to both for the quick reactions and suggestions.

Maybe interaction & dexterity setting or there's an app or somewhere that lets you define areas of the screen for certain functions and/or not doing anything when touched [email protected] you're always good with what things are called what/where is that.. I'll keep looking/trying.... Edge touch.. Not sure if it's still available but you can find it on samsung apksb or through fine lock which is an alternate way to launch good lock apps

I finally found the solution!
The clue is to swipe up from the bottom of the screen first and then the edge panel works.
I hadn't noticed this yet, since I replaced the controls to the right side with edge gestures, that's why I never noticed.
Still not sure why I need to swipe up first, but it finally works

Question Looking for infos about custom features (knock off/gestures/fast actions)

HI, i was a nexus user in the past and i remember a lot of features from the community. In those days i return to use a google phone, even though google has changed many of its policies about warranty. I notice a lot of problems or missed features. I was looking there but i didn't find nothing so i just ask to be sure i'm in the right place or just i missed something. For example, will be great to add the possibility to double knock on the screen to lock the screen and not only press on the right button. Or, for example, add the possibility to increase things you can do when press the botton screen. Or it will be great to improve gestures, likes oneplus so i can write some letters on blocked screen and for example activate light or something like that.
Is there alredy something for those thing or is still all blocked/work in progress?

For locking the device without using power button, I use Lock App from F-Droid, because I'm not a fan of using buttons.

3 apps/modules come to mind that can expand pixel's capabilities:
1) TapTap - tap back of phone to do something, eg pull down notification or take screenshots
2) AOSP Mods: like a Gravitybox lite. I use it to center the clock in the status bar and display date and day of week. I can also Double tap screen to sleep, but it doesn't work too well
3) ButtonMapper: customize hard buttons for other purposes. For example, i hold my volume down button to take screenshots.

For all, or most, of the best stuff (like AOSP modz) you'll need root access and lsposed to run 'em...a lot like the nexus days, lotsa toys!
