I've got a MediaPad M5 Pro 10 with M-Pen stylus. When I tap the M-Pen once together with function button a floating menu pops up with stylus specific apps and a help app. In my case in this floating menu there are two apps (MyScript calculator and Nebo for Huawei). Is there a way to add more apps to this special menu? I couldn't find anything about.

Thanks I hadn't even noticed that menu.
My Menu has a third app (Sketchbook Pro) which I installed, so certain apps can seemingly add to it somehow.
I cannot seem to see the M-Pen floating menu apps location with a file explorer, so I think it's in the hidden Huawei directory, and clicking the app icon itself does nothing.
So I don't think it can be done without root.
It would be nice to configure the buttons on the pen as well, does the 2nd button do anything?

I just installed the free version of Autodesk Sketchbook and it appears in the floating menu by itself. Do some apps have a "stylus flag" set or something like this?

The second button pressed while moving around in Sketchbook activates the rubber.

Yes I imagine it's done that way, I'm not sure of exactly which flag it's setting, Android SDK does have a TOOL_TYPE_STYLUS option to detect a stylus, but I have installed other apps like 'Write', 'Clover Paint', & 'Art Rage' which don't show up in the menu.
The Menu may just be looking for certain app names like "Sketchpad" so when it appears it's added to the menu, but that would be a half-assed way of doing it.
With root I would I imagine one can customise the list manually.
I will continue to try and find out how it's achieved, as I would like to be able to configure it myself, so I will let you know if I get any further info.

Downloading now. I imagine this ould be used to block palm detection for drawing like on Sketchbook Pro and the sort. I'll edit this after a review. Thanks for the opportunity.
What? Palm detection? I think it will only work on a few devices...
I wish I could use this for the soft keys on the navigation bar. It would really help cause I'm left handed (I keep hitting the back/home keys by mistake when I'm writing on my Prime).

OK after using it today, i found it pretty straightforward and simple to use.
Found only one small bug,when playing a video, on YouTube, stock player or whatever, if you touch the screen the on-screen controls jump on, you cannot press them, but the UI do popup.
And one suggestion, the resizeable square where you select the zone to be blocked from touches should have at least a small pad or something to drag it. Once the square reaches the borders it gets really hard to pick again.

On the latest ICS update. Go to settings/ASUS customized settings/system bar lock/enable system bar lock. Now you won't hit the home key or any softkey buttons.

I don't think it can be used for that. You could use TouchScreenTune app, paid version can handle palm detection on our device.
This app is for blocking areas of the screen.

What would be the use of that? D:
An app that makes it possible to run mobile webapps full screen, kind of like the way the latest chrome beta can do, but for any site.
An keepass app with synchronization built in, and on top of that an internal Web browser, so you can have actions like "copy password" and "copy username" right there. Kind of the way 7 pass does it (on Windows Phone)
Nanaca crash, a simple flash game where the object is to throw a person as far as you can, kind of like "hit crazy frog" kind of game but a hit more advanced. Requires just one button so that would be perfect for Android smartphones.

Oh that's not what I understood. I guess the idea would work if the processing was quick enough and the picture high resolution enough. But front facing cameras are none of the above.
Thanks for your current suggestions, let me see more !
no more ideas?
I have an App Request too
An On-Screen Floating Object-Oriented Toolbar, with Back, Home, Menu, & Directional keys, + additional keys depending on active screen or current app
including a 'cycle-through elements' button then hit enter on the one you want to activate
things that can be done with your thumb from one small location.
then tap & hold contracts it into a smaller set of buttons
and you can select the number of buttons & their default positions for both the expanded state and the compacted state.
so it could be used to navigate around programs, select different elements, or used as a game controller, or keypad enhancement, or enhanced navigation etc

So I have an idea how about apps that can open ads but in a little bubble you cannot there drooling working but you don't have to see it or hear it just make the progressive it minimise it make it anywhere on the screen small like to make little fun with the ads even after its been force on your phone
So ive been search around for a while now on how to fix this. And to anyone that chimes in and says why do you need the menu button obviously you don't use older apps, the new touch button on the screen is a huge annoyance especially since i've used my phones this way since my first S1. Regardless this is how i want it and so do many other people.
Currently this is only for a rooted phone
I have figured out how to remap the left soft key from the App Switcher/Multi window over to the old style menu key. Instructions for that can be found here
But now i don't have any way of switching to my currently open apps, after remapping the left key, the longpress now takes you to search. and long pressing on the home button also takes you to another variation of the search (both i dont use nor want). I want to be able to remap my left softkey on longpress to open up currently open apps (APP_SWITCH) and it would be nice if long pressing on Home could open the Task Manager as it did on my S3.
As far as i can tell editing of the longpress function is done via a Policy edit. Read about that HERE
Keep in mind that post is from 2014 so i have no idea if the internal code is still being handled the same way, i couldn't even find that file on my S6, but i did find a file called SEPOLICY in my root folder using ROOT EXPLORER. Do any of you know more about this and how I can go about changing this? im sure its a code level adjustment. Thanks
Long-press home button can be controlled without root easily.
Check out this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spada.nowgesturetweaksfree
I use the long-press home to get to my last used app.
I wonder if I can remap my buttons to launch any other apps.. Will have to tinker around a bit.

very useful. menu for navigation is long long outdate. software nave or 3 dots is the customary way to go. adding a secondary menu button is redudant and unnecessary. my little ewww comment brought a lot to the table. you tryingt to call me out on it is less useful.

lol f off
If you guys use Dropbox, how do you get to the menu with SORT, etc.. without a menu key. This is making me crazy. I'm using nova launcher and there is no floating menu key. ????
The problem is if not every developer uses it, it's inconsistent.
It often helps if the options etc. In apps are on the top, so you don't have to fidget with your phone to reach the top or use two hands.
The menu button on every app is positioned somewhere else, so I find the op wanting it justified.
All in one gestures let's you remap every key, for some odd reason on my s4 I can remap the menu key, but on the S6 for some odd reason the option of the menu key has vanished in the same app:what:
Sent from my SM-G925F using XDA Free mobile app
Hi pal. Hope it helps. Make 254 button remap, then install nova launcher, in tab gestures select long press menu and then recent app. Profit! Now once tapped you have menu button, long pressed - recent apps.
So, i made it, i use it. It works.

I would like to disable Air Command in order to make the s pen button available to apps. I have found the air command settings, but there does not seem to be an option to disable it altogether. If I delete all the shortcuts and then press the button, it appears with a "helpful" tip to use the s pen >detachment settings to disable it. But there is no such section, presumably because the pen cannot be inserted into this tablet.
Is there truly no way to disable Air Command?
Can anyone either confirm to problem or tell me what I am missing?

Doesn't look like there is a way to disable it completely (even in the System Apps menu). But the button is available to use when use in apps as an eraser (a la Microsoft Word) even with Air Command enabled if you hold it. It seems like Air Command doesn't pop up if you long press the button instead of a short click.
Hope this helps.

Thank you. I have discovered this, and that it also works if you touch the screen with the pen before releasing it. (It occurs to me that may be more about the extra time it takes to do that than the touch).
When I began trying to disable Air Command, I was using an app with broken button support. Now that I understand that Air Command does not interfere with the use of the button in apps I am happy to leave it enabled.
Frank.
I'm a bit late to this post, but I wanted to let you know there is a way around that. I was able to disable it by freezing it in titanium (pretty sure that feature requires root, so there is your one catch.) You won't be able to disable it from your regular app settings as samsung doesn't allow this. Just search air in titanium and you should see it.
When I found this fix I was overcome with joy and satisfaction. I F*cking hate air command, and especially hate gimmicks that are forced on the end user. The button has so many other uses in drawing apps, but those uses get nerfed by having an annoying popup come up unless you long press. Samsung should have enabled air command as a long press event.
"BK package disabler" app works fine with me. Im using Galaxy Tab 10.1 with S Pen. This app can disable only the air command feature while enabling other in-app functions that are using s pen button. The "Air Command" app is under the "System" tab in the app. No rooting required. One thing is you have to buy the app but the price is cheap and it is worth the money!
Dude, thanks

Hi,
Just bought a Huawei P30 Pro which I love - the main issue I've got is that I just can't seem to bet split-screen to work. It's on EMUI 10.1
I've turned off the Multi-screen dock.
If I go to the recent apps screen, each app has a symbol above it to create a pop-out version of the app, rather than a split screen icon (as I've seen in Youtube videos).
If I click on that, I get a pop-out, e.g. of Youtube. There's a message saying to drag the pop-out window to where I want it, but I can't get it to 'dock' such that there's a way to set up a second app.
What am I doing wrong?

You could downgrade to emui 9.1. Multi window is still possible on this version. But don't ask me how to do that.
Use the multi window dock, go into the first app, then open the dock and drag the second app you want into upper or lower screen, you get both apps open now, one up the other down.
You cannot do this from the recent app since you only get the floating window but can't pull any app now from the dock since it takes your launcher as the second app which the launcher does not support.
