how to get PIE (floating) controls to recover screen space? - HTC Jetstream

Hi
How to get these PIE buttons or floating controls = (home, back, menu) and recover screen real estate? Thanks. It's so much faster to access instead of moving entire to bottom left corner.

Try searching for full!screen in Google Play. I've been playing around with it and it seems excellent -- after customizing a few default settings. There is a full!screen+ that allows you to apply app specific settings.
If you want to use it exclusively then you'll have to get something to display your notifications. I'm still shopping around for that.

WoW thankS !!!!!

Hi
How do you make use of Android 4
If you give me the link

Hi omidmomid,
Sorry I don't understand your question, can you elaborate further? thanks.
In case I think that you're asking how did I make use of Android 4 inside Jetstream???
Then the answer is NO, I don't have Android 4 inside Jetstream, I just want to add PIE on top of existing Android 3.1 honeycomb. The screenshot is not from Jetstream, I just borrow it from outer places to ensure everyone does not mistaken PIE. Sorry to have confused you.

[Q] How do I add quick settings?

As title says...how do I add the additional quick links to the pull menu bar (screen brightness, ringer volume, rotate)???
I've been looking and am hoping someone can help....I don't want to flash a different ROM to get them, just mod the one I'm on now. A flashable zip would be even better
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for posting this. Do you have to do anything else besides flash this? I'm pretty n00b at looking inside apks
i flashed this and I didn't get any extra settings. Any ideas? Thanks, I'm on stock rooted btw
Yeah, HTC should really offer some customization of their quick settings.
I'd personally like to see an option to put the phone in standby, like is available on some MIUI ROMs. The less I need to use the hard power button, the longer it'll last.

I think this is what I have but it's made for gingerbread 2.3.3 which works for the most part on 2.3.4 but instead of saying "of or on" it just says "1% 2%". Are you using 2.3.4?
is there an update of this zip for 2.3.4?
Thanks!

Quick launch app

Hi everyone..
I'm looking for an app, widget or anything you can think of, style appsi, sidecontrol or any other quick launch app, that can be activated through a shortcut or any other way beside gesture... From my experience both of these apps are the most usefull and efficient apps of there kind. You can add favorite app, contacts, toggels or practikly anything you would like. The thing is that for me personally, being able to activate them only via gesture is quite annoying. I find myself accidently triggering it, or facing bugs. Appsi hasn't released anything for a while, so I guess that the project is over. And sidecontrol has bugs and doesn't work well on my lg g3. Does anybody know something else like theme?
Thank you for taking the time to read this long post, and of course for your help....
You can try SwipePad app.

Sounds simplistic, but why not just put your apps, shortcuts, etc in a folder?

Swipe pad is launched by a gesture, and is rather limited than appsi or sidecontrol...

Because that to access everything you need to go the home screen. I'm looking for something you can access these features from anywhere..
The home screen is just one big menu that has hot key access via the center of the navbar.
I can access it from anywhere by hitting the home key. I can return to any app I've started via the recents key.
Your view of how your menu should work is the same as this. In your app you hotkey access from anywhere. So do I. You would have categories to establish multiple menu levels. So do I. You need to return to the app you were in. So do I.
Mine is just reinventing what we already have. Yours requires additional code and system resources. I'm using mine and you're still looking.

[SHARE][APP] SwiftOpen - Fast Launcher

Hello. Yesterday, i was searching for an launcher (NOT a home launcher} which allow me to run apps more quickly from any app I'm running at an moment.
I found this app named SwiftOpen. It's thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-swiftopen-fast-launcher-beta-t2871523 .
It allow you to add apps shortcuts, even some settings like wifi, so you can put wifi on more easy. You swipe from right (you can change the place from where to swipe) and the launcher come.Read the whole description of it's thread. Oh, and don't forget to press thanks button to the developer
Review / My opinion:
In my opinion it does a great job. I don't even have to press home button to go in another app. It use about 15 MB ram. Last night i had 58% battery and i kept this app running in background and today, in the morning, i had same battery percent. So, it seems that it doesn't drain battery.
Now i don't even need to use the home button, as i placed an shortcut of "home" in the bottom left
I downloaded the latest version released. I encountered one bug: when i want to change the place of an shortcut, the app crash, but the shortcut get moved.
Here is an screenshot. You see an white square in the right, it's because i kept my finger there to take an screenshot, otherwise the launcher dissapear. By the way, you can add more shortcuts, even Tasker ones !!!

btw i doubt that our SMART phone will stand this kind of multi tasking if i have FB installed
Also found this app recently, it's the best launcher by a long shot. I have a G4 and I hate the softkeys taking up screen space, as you mentioned this app means you don't need any other buttons or home button.
Thanks for the tip to put this launcher in the place of the home button, I had it on the side but now that you mention it that's naturally the best spot to put it.
Do you use it on Lollipop and use the Alt-tab feature?
That's not working for me on 5.1, think it's a lollipop issue?

Yes... This is a tipical burn-it sintom... I suggest you an hard reset asap or better a clean flash...
It's not screen burn in.
If you pull down the quick settings panel just enough to cover part that has the it goes away. I don't know if there is some sort of offscreen padding that would fix it.
I've also read (don't recall where) that it could be light leak because of the way the display is designed for a device (ours in this case).
p.s: I'm no developer. Just a regular user like others here.

Yeah it's not screen burn, cause it would have been every where if it was a burn, but it only appears on the homescreen

Ok...so my suggestion is flash latest stock firmware, do a clean installation. If you're phone have a software problem, this is the Better solution

Trying to get one-handed mode working for a disabled co-worker.

Hello all. My coworker lost a portion of her dominant thumb recently. She's on a Pixel 2 on Android 11. Is there any way she can permanently make the phone's screen only take up a smaller portion of the whole display? So in essence, to have a decent chunk of padding on the left and top parts of the screen so she can always reach every part of the screen?
Her phone is rooted. We tried a few DPI and resolution changer apps, but none of them did what we want which is to have a bunch of padding to the left and from the top, permanently.
Preferably the setting would be permanent and not needed to be turned on, and will work across all apps. We tried the "One-Handed Mode" module for Gravitybox but it did nothing when applied.
Is there any way to accomplish this with an ADB command or some sort of app that we haven't found yet?
Anyone?
If downgrading to Android 10 is an option, overscan would work like a charm.
wm overscan [reset|LEFT,TOP,RIGHT,BOTTOM]
wm density [reset|DENSITY]
Google it...

Thanks for the snarky and useless reply; this video only makes the keyboard work with one hand, not the entire phone screen.

Sadly downgrading isn't an option but is there any way to do this in Android 11 if she's rooted?

Do some more searches.
I'm not going to do your homework just pointing you towards the library...

I've been searching for over a week and the 5 different one-hand mode apps I've used haven't worked, but thanks for being a total pretentious dickhead to someone trying to help out a disabled fellow human being!
Also your stupid Youtube link wasn't even what I asked for which just goes to show you have **** for brains on top of being a gigantic asshole to people.

Sorry to hear about "her" power tool incident.
The most important small appendage on the human body.
Texting will never be the same.
Short of a prosthetic or transplant, adaptation is the only alternative and all the former have their limits.
There's this on the Note's... it's in the firmware, not an app. whatever...

Yes which is why I specifically asked if it can be done on a Pixel phone that is rooted.
