Hi. The GS4 has a feature that I really like, I don't know how it's called but it basically allows you to hover your finger over picture albums and messages and it will show some sort of a preview to that. Similar to the functionality of the S Pen, but with your finger.
It's really awesome and I wish more phones would have it. But then I thought to myself, it's a software thing, no? Just decrease the threshold of the capacitive net below the screen and it could read the finger from about 1cm... Am I correct?
Theoretically, can I build a software that will have this feature for the Nexus 4 for example?
Thanks,
Oren

No, the S4 does support this feature, but instead of the S-Pen, you can simply just use your finger. I too, am also curious about whether or not this is a software or hardware feature because I would LOVE to have this feature in my phone, even if it meant having to use a touchwiz rom. If I had to guess though, I would guess its hardware related, but who knows, maybe it isn't?
It's most probably hardware related

The Sony Xperia Sola too has this feature.
Requires Xposed Framework!
This module allows you to tap the status bar to scroll (smoothly, at least that's what the API says) to the top of lists.
This isn't compatible with all lists in this first version. Chrome for example isn't compatible, or some manufacturer lists (like the Contacts app in TouchWiz).
If this is patented by a fruit-based company, it'll most likely get a C&D, so keep that in mind when you look forward to updates
Demo:
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6-sOWhwY0g
Video as GIF, FWIW, http://i.imgur.com/vNBTbQs.gif
Known bugs:
Manufacturer specific lists and some other custom scrollers (e.g Chrome) aren't supported yet.
Compatibility:
4.0 - 4.4 probably, I really haven't checked the source code, tested on Sony's 4.3.
Source:
The mod is open source: https://github.com/MohammadAG/Xposed-StatusBar-Scroll-To-Top
You may NOT distribute this app on the Play Store, paid or free.

Yeah I don't code much anymore but that's what used to be the biggest roadblock in most complicated projects I would start. Figure out a way to do it effectively.

It's Apple's not mine
That's stock behavior on iOS.
A bit far fetched, but do you believe it would be possible to add support for more than the standard list? Such as webview?
Since it seems a lot of apps are actually just frontends for a page in webview, plus a lot of browsers using webview, I imagine this could be the next target of your thinkering and would cover most cases. It would be great to be able to scroll to top in a browser too.

I'm looking into Chrome, they supposedly use some kind of standard scroller, since they have the blue overscroll indicator.
I've been looking for something like this since I left iOS. Hopefully you can get it working with chrome. This is great mod indeed!

nicely done, works flawlessly... i have few suggestions/comments
-having little issues with facebook app, it kinda works: moves up by a little but not all the way to the top.
-if possible, allow user to choose the scroll speed when status bar is tapped on? to me, it is kind of slow sometimes... just my opinion
anyway, really appreciate your works for xperia devices. :highfive:
many thanks:fingers-crossed:

Facebook switched me to the new version, and it works fine there, I guess you'll have to wait for the update that includes that, or Facebook downgrades my account
Second part is controlled by the system, I use a method called smoothScrollTo(0, 0). I'm not sure if that can be easily changed

If you get it magically working with Chrome chances are you'll make it work for a lot of other apps. So that's sweet. :laugh:
Works great on s3-4.3.
Even with Firefox.
Thnx.

Seems like it causes certain apps to force close. Tapatalk for example, if I go in a topic then back by pressing the back key to my followed topics then press the status bar it will force close. What do you need from me to help diagnose this?
Edit: it does scroll to the top before closing though.
Edit 2: doesn't crash anymore, found out it's because of a broken pvr driver. Ignore this haha
What theme are you using? Is it a CM theme or something I can do with Xposed?
Really awesome module too! Saw it on reddit
Great module, thanks!
Want true fullscreen in any 7.1.1 Nougat rom? Want to be able to get maximum viewing space on your 6p? I have a treat for you!
Although the 6p screen is very large, I'm a huge proponent of maximizing screen real estate.
I found this setup is awesome because it gives you so much more viewing screen for everyday use. For example, in Chrome, now you can see so much more of a web page and it makes your viewing space so much better:
1) All in One Gestures App: enable fullscreen (within the app to get true fullscreen/immersive mode. Expanded desktop rocks. Massively improved viewing space baby!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...gestures&hl=en
2) Download Swipe Navigation App: from playstore. This is AWESOME. Enables swipe gestures to navigate and swipe as opposed to having a physical navbar. This saves huge amounts of screen real estate. At the bottom of the screen, left swipe up is back, middle swipe up is home, and right swipe up becomes recents. (This is so cool).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...vigation&hl=en
3) In a build prop editing app (I recommend BuildProp Editor), paste this line and save:
qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1
(this removes the on-screen navigation bar, now you have awesomely improved screen real estate!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...p.editor&hl=en
Can you use the build prop edit to hide nav bar in 7.1.1 last I knew it wasn't possible.
Not sure where you heard that, because yes you certainly can!

it's possible to hide the navbar. it's not possible to change its height (through substratum). maybe that's what you heard
Hmm. Keyboard won't work when you enable immersive mode in All in One Gestures. Kind of a deal-breaker.
Edit: tried out Swipe Navigation and the build.prop edit. Works perfectly right now. I was a little worried after restarting the phone because the Swipe Navigation app didn't start right away (I couldn't back out of an application, lol). But it started up in less than a minute and everything is good. I'm going to use for a while and maybe buy the $1.50 add-on that unlocks custom actions.

Please don't spread misinformation. The keyboard DOES certainly work when you enable immersive mode in All in One Gestures. Everything works perfectly. I've been running this setup for 3 weeks and it works like a dream. This isn't the crappy GMD fullscreen buggy app, lol.

Are you using kii keyboard alpha 2 or gboard? Or the crappy AOSP keyboard? Gboard and Kii both OWN the AOSP kboard. And they both work PERFECTLY in immersive mode. I can post screenshots to prove it.

1. I'm using Gboard. Most recent version.
2. That just fantastic that it's working perfectly for you. That doesn't mean it will work for everyone.
3. Screenshot of the app itself is attached. So it obviously isn't 100% functional.

Oh my god... alright, whatever. Your logic is just flawless, I guess. You're right, it works for everyone - every, single person. Even me... somehow?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This app from the play store is the best that I have seen. Cost $1.99, I brought it with google play credits from the google surveys. It will give you the tiles in your toolbox and everything. You can hide the status bar, the nav bar, or both, plus alot extra. I use it. As long as your rooted there is no need to edit the build prop.

Easy there you get very defensive.
Rather then squabble with you, i think i discovered why it's not working for you.
Are you using superuser or supersu? I'm using the newest chainfire supersu SR3 beta. This might be your issue:
http://download.chainfire.eu/1021/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip
** IMPORTANT** Also, did you enable all permissions for the app?
As you can see from my screenshot, this is mine, works perfectly and IF you take the right steps i highly suspect it works for EVERYONE.

The reason why you need to edit the build prop, is because, if you want to use Swipe Gestures (the easiest and superior method for nav bar-less navigation imo) is because otherwise now you have two extra steps. You swipe up from bottom, and now you wait for the nav bar to 'come up'. You then hit the button you want. Takes time.
With my method, you instantly navigate with a gesture. One lightning fast action. That's why removing the nav bar in build prop is so important.
Also, the app you suggested costs money. Can be done better and at absolutely no cost.

Like I said earlier, I set my phone up just using the Swipe Navigation app and the build.prop edit. It's all working right now, so I don't really think that first app would add any benefit to me right now, even if it was working for me.

I clearly stated to download the beta that i posted. It's like three months ahead of the 'stable' SuperSU development cycle.
What rom are you using? I'm using uberstock.
I flashed two other roms, and I was able to get the keyboard working in immersive mode in both.
Everyone felates and sucks off purenexus, but Uberstock runs circles around it in my opinion.

Just want to ask if exist an app capable to assist your zoom requirements? Not something like magnification glass.
Im on not rooted device.

I have a Pixel 2, I want to quickly get to slo-mo video. Seems like there should be a way to configure a shortcut myself, but I have not found it. Though in my research I do see many other people asking for this.
If it can't just be configured with what I have, I would use an app or widget for this. A homescreen button that starts camera, chooses video, goes to "More", and picks slow motion. Can someone make this please? Or advise me how to make it.

Hey thanks. I installed them, looks like camera shortcuts are only selfie or video.
Well, that's closer, I guess.
Still need to get into the "More" menu of the video, then into Slow Motion.
