Long press Themer Menu? - Themer General Discussion

Really enjoying the new Gestures feature. But in the Play Store, in the 'What's new' section of v1.9, it says:
- New gesture action- 'Long Press Themer Menu'
Where is this? Can't find it in the new Gestures menu or anywhere else. My version of Themer, in the About section, says 'Version 109'.

This simply means that you can now have the option to bring up the quick options (aka the Long Press Themer Menu) using any gesture, not just by holding down on the homescreen.

Ah, okay. I see. Thought maybe it was like how in Apex launcher, you can assign a function to long-pressing on the physical menu button. That would be a nice thing to have.

[Q] Best multitasking switcher?

I've tried nearly every multitasking switcher on the market and I still cant find one that works correctly. Is there a switcher that goes to ADW on single tap home and goes to the switcher on either long press or double tap?
heres a list of what I've tried (issues are in parentheses)
powerstrip (too small, single tap access)
Quickdesk pro (doesn't work, makes screen flash black and go crazy)
perfect task switcher (single tap access, wonky)
MultiTask Manager (single tap access)
TaskOS (no home button setting)
Underground (takes over the screen, isn't really a task switcher,ugly list)
Appswipe (clunky, ugly, paid to set to home button)
Softkeys- Would be awesome, if I could get the settings to work as advertised (see below)
Prehome (best task switcher BUT single tap access)
Softkeys:
Softkeys has an option for setting single tap home (ADW) and then an option for long press home (PreHome). This would be the perfect solution, but for some reason the long press home doesn't work no matter what I do. Any Ideas?
The Ideal task switcher for me would be anything simple (a bar or box with icons) that could be brought up with double or long click home. If you know of any I'd love to try them out.
I would like to figure this out as well. Haven't seen anything about it around here

Softkeys works for me, I have it set for single tap home and double tap softkeys. I don't believe Softkeys supports long button presses, I think that option is referring to the virtual home button that Softkeys presents on screen when called up.

Yes, it does not support long press on the physical button, that would be nice... As said above, it's a long-tap on the Home button on the popup.
Any ideas if we are using button Savior instead of soft keys?

Powerstrip does single or double tap. I currently have mine setup with ADW EX. Single tap to Homescreen and double tap to invoke.
I might use power strip then, is there a way to make it larger? As for the long press on home, hopefully we'll see cm on the nc
EDIT:
I got powerstrip working pretty well, but as I said before I wouldn't mind it being slightly bigger, also the "recent apps" folder has a few issues of its own. When a large game (or grooveshark) is in the recent apps and you try to launch it you get an "activity no found" error.
I found PreHome to work best.
I have the physical button mapped to PreHome, then when have PreHome open SoftKeys.
I like button savior. It pull the last 6 apps that u have used when you long press the soft home button.

You may want to check out Taskswitcher (free). Once set up it uses single press on physical home key to invoke recent apps list and allows you to set up your own home app for double tap. Long press is not supported I don't think. If anyone knows of apps that allow setting long press actions (recent apps or otherwise) please share. I did notice in the DEV forum that someone made a custom Froyo version with custom home button behavior including long press so maybe someone could share how to set that up in 2.1 if thats possible.

Thanks for this tip! I replaced SK with BS a day or two after rooting, and had no idea this functionality was built into BS!
If you turn off the sk service check mark you can double press the nook button and still use bs

SK Service is the SoftKeys service. If it's running, you get a curly arrow in a circle that allows you to bring up the home, back, menu, and search buttons. It should be installed by default if you autonooter. Otherwise, it's available in the Dev section of the forum.

Best way to add app-drawer button to the button-bar?

The "recent apps" button is a great addition to the UI, but I'd also like to have a dedicated button on the button bar for opening the app drawer.
To those of you more versed in UI-fu than I am: what would be the best way for me to add an app-drawer button to the button bar, eg. right next to the "recent apps" button, so as to facilitate direct access to the app drawer from any app?
Thanks
Use Nova Launcher and map the home button alternate mode to open the app drawer. So in effect, one press on home will send you to your home screen and the second press will put you in your app drawer.

This. Other than that, its not possible unless the rom itself is edited to do it, which again, isn't possible, because different homescreens have different app drawers.

You wouldn't happen to know of any SystemUI mods that fit the bill I suppose...

[Q] Long press anywhere menu triggers way too easily. Possible to disable?

I enjoy that it is easy to access the themer menu easily, but it triggers very frequently when I am using the dialer widget. Is there any way to disable the menu?
Have had same issue as have others m8,the developers are looking into it
For the moment, you can uncheck "Lock homescreen Widgets" in Advanced Settings > Desktop, I think that's a little bit more slowly to appear.

The problem is that Themer has "double tap" for Themer Menu in the Gestures. When using the Dialer widget you type the first 2 numbers and it thinks you double tapped. Wish I could disable this gesture.

Hi,
Hold down on the homescreen - Themer Settings - Gestures - Double Tap - select the "X" at the top of the screen. Done

Well I find that it triggers much too easy as only a long press menu as well. In your case, just disable the double tap gesture in the settings.
But yea, that menu is popping up all the time for me when I don't want it to. Would like more settings for this. I have it set to pop up with long press on the home button. That is good enough for me. No need for it on the screen. An option to disable would be great.
Also would like an option to get rid of the red X on long presses when widgets are unlocked.

Themer menu

Hi I love theme and so far it has been working very well for me with limited bugs. However I have one big issue with the design. I frequently accidentally open the themer menu by long pressing the screen when I'm trying to interact with widgets or other on screen elements. It is especially cumbersome when dealing with apps that create on screen overlays . I really like how Nova allows you to choose how to open their menu. Even if you don't change how the menu is opened can you change the long press delay. I feel if it was a little longer, like the stock Google launcher it would be perfect.
Themer with Nova Launcher? Dont know what you mean.

Hi,
Are you sure you are long pressing on the homescreen and not double tapping? You are able to disable the double-tap gesture in the Gesture settings (via the Themer Settings) however the long press gesture is built into the app. In the future this gesture might be added to the gesture list. Sorry for the inconvenience.

No I have disabled the double tap gesture. I just wish I could also disable the long press gesture or even increase the long press delay just slightly. Thanks for the information though.

How To Guide This is how you assign Google Assistant to the power button (instead of Bixby)

Download Good Lock from the Samsung Galaxy Store. Good Lock is an app developed by Samsung that allows users to customize their phone's interface and features.
Inside Good Lock, download Routines+ from the "Family" section. Routines+ is a plugin for Good Lock that enables users to create custom actions for their phone.
Open the "Modes and Routines" app within Routines+. This is where you can create a custom routine for the power button long press.
Tap on the "Create Routine" button at the bottom of the screen.
Give your routine a name, such as "Google Assistant Long Press".
Under the "Trigger" section, tap on "Add Trigger" and select "Button".
Select "Side key press and hold" as the button action.
Under the "Action" section, tap on "Add Action" and select "App".
Select "Google Assistant" from the list of apps.
Tap on "Save" to save your routine.
Make sure your routine is enabled by toggling the switch next to its name.
That's it! Now, when you long press the power button on your Samsung Galaxy phone, Google Assistant will open instead of Bixby.
You can also use the Registar module of Good Lock, much easier.

Using the method I mentioned, it also allows you to assign to either volume button (with a double tap or long press). Gotta love the customizability of the Galaxy!
