while i agree with 90% of what you said, paid app links are not, not allowed, links to paid apps that you can get for free and you didn't develope is not allowed also known as warez.

and his original statement was trying to point out that someone is making money off the idea so the paid app would be the appropriate link.

But like i said i agree with your original statement. that app has been out of a long while, and i too have used it, not nearly as customizable, and none of the gestures nor isas are included in that app like they are in LMT.
[Android Software Development] Txwolf1980:
Another thing to keep in mind. This app doesn't require root, where as lmt does. So, for the majority of users, this would be the option to go for. Accepting the conspiracy theory, for a moment, yes. Noname would have a right to be upset, if he was developing a no root version of lmt. But, since he isn't, I can't imagine he would have grounds to be upset at someone for putting out an option that he can't with lmt (the ability to use a pie style interface without root).

Just my opinion
[Android Software Development] gpz:
Not being aware of something pie-ish in the wild, other then LMT, I posted this innocent remark to make the dev aware of this, leaving it to his judgement as is. Ridiculing this into a conspiracy is, though trendy, a tad of context

The link provided is relevant, being the subject, not being warez
[Android Software Development] GermainZ:
IIRC, Android introduced the pie in the ICS browser. After that, LMT took the concept and changed it (the ICS Browser pie isn't used for the same thing, it's just the idea), followed by PA after which it became quite popular (and spawned some apps like the one you mentioned). CM introduced it in the latest nightlies not too long ago.

It wasn't my intention to ridicule, but lately, every app thread I see has people posting links to other apps with accusations about it being a rip-off, when it's not (either because the idea has originated from a GPL project or because it's a completely different implementation).

Paid software isn't warez. The XDA rules state that you're not allowed to post links to paid software (still not talking about warez). That's what he was saying.
[Android Software Development] akshay7394:
You probably have an app that has some sort of screen overlay. (For example: Screen Filter, Twilight, etc.)

Google doesn't allow you to sideload apps when something is overlayed on the screen, just in case there's a virus-app that's been overlayed to make the OK and Cancel buttons switch places, to trick you into installing problematic apps. Simply FC the screen-overlaying app and you'll be able to sideload, until you launch it again.
[Android Software Development] vicm:
The same problem here.

Could please anybody with working ISAS on HD2 advise?
[Android Software Development] Weedalot:
Just wow, and good to know!
[Android Software Development] mon5trum:
As I agree with everyone! All I was stating is that I have used the app before, I like certain parts of it but it does not compare to lmt! And I actually don't see why noname would be upset, a lot of people got the idea of pie controls from the same source, and there are going to be many pie apps some the same some totally different like lmt! As it not really an original idea anymore since many different developers are including in one form or another in their roms, like in Cyanogenmod roms now! As for my paid app link comment I will gladly retract my statement as I did not say it to offend anyone, a simple "dude you are wrong about the link" would of sufficed!

[Android Software Development] intrloper:
I looked a little bit but didnt find anything so wanted to ask.

My goal is to use Linaro-AOKP rom and run full screen 100% the time.

I want to use ISAS and assign 4 areas for back,home, recent,menu. The issue is when you swipe to trigger it will catch the screen also.

IE: If in chrome it will also swipe the page, or if the keyboard is on screen it will catch letters also.

IS there anyway to not catch the screen?

I know for example the feature in AOKP that lets to auto hide the nav bar will only catch the nav bar and show it without sliding content around.

I am sure I am not explaining this proper but hope i was about to convey enough info for someone to help.

Thank you.
[Android Software Development] Txwolf1980:
I understand what you are saying. Couple of options

1. Blacklist said app (in your example, chrome). The imperfection with that, considering that you want to use isas to control nav functions, is the fact that you won't be able to go home from chrome, without disabling expanded desktop.

2. Fine tune your activation area thickness. I've got mine set to 20 dpi, and it doesn't seem to interfere (mostly).

Anyone have any better ideas?
[Android Software Development] intrloper:
I played with the thickness some and it didnt seem to help at all. I am just wondering how difficult it would be to add in a "catch" action so the other on screen elements wont be effected.
[Android Software Development] dzendeh:
That's a piece of crap, It has no clock and no status above the pie, but as separate windows. No match for the LMT or PA pie.

I'm looking to build a mod based on the pie control idea. Any thoughts?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2242180

Possible mod for pie controls
[Android Software Development] rraghur:
hi - new to LMT, started using it after I moved to AOKP. couple of questions

1. Possible to include a battery bar ? (or pls point out if there's a mod for it)

2. Numbering seems inverted... if I add 5 pie controls, they seems to be numbered in reverse (consider when the PIE is activated from the bottom). For ex, I want the first (from the left) button to be Back - but in the LMT app, this is actually the last pie in level 1.
[Android Software Development] jjm34:
It would be great if I could set the pie controls activation area differently for portrait and landscape. I'm trying to set the length so that it won't overlap the IME area (so that keys on the edge of the screen don't trigger the pie controls), but there's no one setting that fits both portrait and landscape modes.

Alternatively, is there a way to exclude the IME from triggering the pie controls entirely? Adding it to the blacklist doesn't seem to work (I'm using the "hacker's keyboard" IME), probably because it's not what would be considered the foreground app.
[Android Software Development] noname81:
Keyboard state listener in the settings is exactly what you're looking for but it's only working without side effects on newer Android versions. So test it out...
[Android Software Development] chikimonke:
LMT Settings>set keyboard state listener. Makes activation area above keyboard.
[Android Software Development] life:
I can only answer #2, as #1 is a PA feature for their pie,

As for #2, you can rearrange the functions of each pie slice to your desire. While in lmt settings, scroll to the far right (till you can't scroll right anymore) set the pie up to what you want. You can put home, back, recent, search, or what ever app you want in any pie slice.

[Android Software Development] jjm34:
Ah... that's what I was missing; thanks. Works fine on CM10. :)
[Android Software Development] rraghur:
I'm aware of how to assign actions to each of the pie slices in the lmt app. I am referring to the fact that the numbering of slices in the lmt configuration is counter intuitive as the pie slices show up in right to left order

Not sure how better to explain this- but if you already have 5 slices configured in level 1 and you want to modify the second slice from the left them in the lmt app you need to edit the pie slice 4 :) ----that's counter intuitive
[Android Software Development] corkythetard:
Pie "slice" numbering starts at pie0.png if you were making custom icons. 0-9 = inner row. Even #'s are short press. Odd #'s are long press. 10-19 is the outer row. Same applies with short and long press like the inner pie.

Hope this helps!
[Android Software Development] dcharleyultra:
I think he is commenting on the fact the pie items are displayed in the order:

1 2 3 4 5 on the right or left side, but

5 4 3 2 1 across the bottom

Swyped from my SPH-L710
[Android Software Development] corkythetard:
Thanks for the clarification! I completely misunderstood.
[Android Software Development] vitalero:
How can I make long press to kill all apps work? I tryed to assign to each bar but nothing works
[Android Software Development] life:
ok but still, you know that they are numbered backwards from what you are accustom to, so what does it matter? You know 1 is on the right and 5 is on the left so adjust accordingly. why throw the big fuss? the pie works and works great regardless of how the pie slices are numbered. as has been stated and im not sure exactly where noname had got the idea, but it came from the default browser, a menu that would pop up, which was on the right or left. not the bottom. So he numbered from top to bottom from default settings, and then got it on bottom probably noticed it was numbered backwards, and brushed it off as it still works.

half a page of useless nonsense about how the pie slices are numbered. 20 to 30% of the people here have actual problems with the pie working or not on their device and you point out the obvious about the pie slices numbered backwards on the bottom.

IT STILL WORKS, SO WHAT IF ITS NUMBERED BACKWARDS?!?!?!

over 5000 post, 255 pages and this is what you ask about??? lol

LOL there is no hope......

[/rant]
[Android Software Development] rraghur:
1. It's throws off people trying to get it configured to their liking. Sure one can figure it out but why not fix it?

2. Lmt works great - never said otherwise. Why not make it better? It's a trivial fix anyway

3. "You point out the obvious"... Wasn't so obvious to you, was it?

4. Even along the sides, showing top to bottom is probably more"Dwim" since natural tendency is to read top to bottom and left to right for majority of people

Finally, is up to the Dev. Wasn't this thread also for community feedback?
[Android Software Development] life:

*whispers* I drew out a pie and put what icons I wanted where I wanted. Then I figured out which # to assign. It was a tedious task. Took me like 5 minutes. That whole 2nd level pie numbering really threw me for a loop! :cyclops:
[Android Software Development] GermainZ:
You can set the pie to appear to the top, bottom, left or right. No method of numbering will work for all 4 alignments.
[Android Software Development] MrDannyD:
Any thoughts on this anyone?

If someone could point me in the right direction?

What I want is to open a folder with apps via pie.

Say I want to open my games folder is this possible and if so what command would I need to figure out?
[Android Software Development] GermainZ:
Not possible directly.

You can take a look at the getevent-sendevent converter in my signature of you're interested in simulating button and screen taps to open the folder.
[Android Software Development] sheraro:
it would be easier if LMT supported shortcuts as well as apps and activities ...
[Android Software Development] GermainZ:
You can use intents, that's what launchers do. :)

EDIT: Does your launcher support a shortcut to directly open a folder? I doubt it.
[Android Software Development] MrDannyD:
Thanks m8. I'll give it a look.
[Android Software Development] sheraro:
no but with apps for example totalcommander , add > shortcut > totalcommander , then it lets you choose a folder (or a file) and add it in the launcher . it's not possible to do this by activities ...

using shortcuts make possible to add folders, files, albums, songs, specific dropbox folders, roms of emulators etc
[Android Software Development] GermainZ:
Yeah, you can do this using intents but it's a bit complicated.
[Android Software Development] Whyzor:
Great app, I just installed it on my new rooted stock Nexus 4. With the /system/build.prop line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" added, I hide the navigation button to free up valuable screen space. I've noticed that shrinking the Invisible Swipe Areas (ISA)s gives it a more precise control, without interfereing with other apps that have navigation buttons on the bottom (i.e. browsers). My settings: ISA Activation Area thickness=20, Pie activation area thickness =10, activation area length=100, Pie inner radius=40).

Just one minor bug (at least in v1.98), I place the pie control on the bottom, and the order of the pie items are reversed, item #1 is the right most, #2 is left of that...etc). It should be item #1 is left, #2 is right of that, #3 is right of that...etc.

Just one more time (promise, the last one), in case messages above went unnoticed by somebody who can help.

I know, the HD2 is pretty old and not on the top of popularity now. But it is hard to believe that nobody here is running it.

Could anybody share his working HD2 ISAS configuration (in particular, I believe, Touchscreen to screen factors are the case there)?

Tried playing by myself with different settings without luck. Does ISAS work on HD2 at all?

Just in case, I am running JellyBean 4.1 (CM10 based) ROM now .
[Android Software Development] xdapao3:
UPDATE: I have just tried it again (it had been several versions since I last tried) and although it still lacks the built-in capability to launch app-created shortcuts and the "prev app"/"next app" controls are erratic (so much that I don't use them, I only use "recent apps" and "last app") now my shortcut-launched RTF file (shortcut on the home created by Solid Explorer and opened in Thinkfree Word) doesn't crash anymore so I have just switched from GDM to LMT.. :)

Now all I am asking is the built-in capability to launch shortcuts (don't want to use tasker) and fixing the "previous/next" app controls.

Very good app anyway! :good:

P.S. being able to better customize the status infos would be the icing on the cake, I don't like seeing *alternating* infos!

Did you check the touchscreen to screen factors for the isas? I introduced some kind of auto calibration in v1.98 so perhaps that changed something for you!?

[Android Software Development] noname81:
Hm, the way prev/nextApp are working is that I sort the currently running apps by process id and then I'm cycling through them. How would you like it? LastApp is just picking the last app in the recent apps stack...

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Android Software Development] noname81:
I would first check if you get single touch gestures running. If they are working you know you have the proper input device. Then it should be just a matter of tuning the touchscreen to screen factors to get also isas running. Just set an action for the isa bottom right and swipe multiple times in the lower right corner of the screen upwards. Then the touchscreen to screen factors should auto calibrate (hopefully... :D)

Hth!

Hi, LastApp works perfectly and I have always felt that this function should have its own virtual button next to the RecentApps one in stock Android (I am a heavy multitasker or, in other words, I DO use my smartphone.. :p).

My only suggestion here is that the launcher should be ignored (I mean it shouldn't be counted as a "recent app"). Sometimes LastApp cycles between my last used app and my home screen.

As for the prev/next app order, the problem is that it's not the order in which I have last used them... GMD was perfect in this regard.

That said, I can do perfectly without them. Excluding the launcher from the recent apps would be much more appreciated than "fixing" the prev/next apps order!

BTW, my launcher is Nova Prime.

Ok, I just excluded the home screen from last/prev/nextApp. Will be part of the next release...

[Android Software Development] noname81:
Thanks! I fixed them...
[Android Software Development] vicm:
Thank you for a great application and for your help, noname81.

I am using the LMT successfully pretty long time already, but I have only PIE activated (no luck with ISAS). Even with its limited activated functionality it extended greatly my experience with Android on HT2. I tended to use only ROMs with highly configurable soft keys (AOKP based mostly) before I tried LMT. As for now, I even do not activate soft keys and because of that selection of ROMs is much richer.

About ISAS... I tried to follow your advice and ended with following

Prerequisits: TouchService mode set to Gestures,ISAS and pie; blacklists cleaned up; single touch gestures enabled; other gestures and ISAS parameters set to default.

1. I cannot get single touch gesture working. Tried with different gesture input modes (from 0 (HD2 is listed here) to 5) - no luck. Trying to set any other mode (from 6 to 9) just causes LMT not responding error message (LMT does not respond even after restarting. Fixed only by restoring it from backup).

2. Swipe and dual touch gestures are working.

3. Auto calibration seems working (at least it is doing something :)). I can see that touchscreen to screen factors' values have been updated after assigning an action for the isa bottom right and swiping multiple times in the lower right corner of the screen upwards. However, ISA's action was not executed unfortunately.

I would like to have ISAS working, but it is not very critical for me. Reporting just for saying thanks and in case you can deduct something useful from my case.

Going back to my pie only mode :).
[Android Software Development] korbi:
Thanks again for this awesome app!!! I could not imagine my phone runing without it!

I have an suggestion for the LastApp action. Would it be possible to exclude the homescreen?

i have no idea how You are doing this but something like

if (LastApp == "homescreen") { go to LastLastApp}

would be very very cool!!!

Best wishes,

Korbi
[Android Software Development] noname81:
Is already implemented. Will be part of the next release...
[Android Software Development] Eddiemc:
I think this (process id cycling) is what makes the prev/next erratic for most users..

I think it should rather move up and down the recent apps stack, thereby it will be what the user opened as previous and next apps, same as in gmd.. Perhaps also a blacklist for this could be included?
[Android Software Development] sam5154:
Yeah, I did. It didn't work first. I think it was related to device selection. But I can't make it work until I wiped LMT data. And set input method again. Now it's working fine.

And it's still the best.

Btw, my x factor is dyed at 143% and y factor at 100% by default

Why have I only just found this app? Combined with the fullscreen app/hack on GNex it's incredible! Drained a good 50% of my battery just tinkering with the settings and testing it over and over to get the right order and mix of buttons for my style. For me the best usability flow comes from:

Button 1: Search (is there any way to make this load straight into Google Now?)

Button 2: Menu

Button 3: Back (most-used button on the easiest gesture)

Button 4: Home

Button 5: Previous app

Combine that with some ISA zones on the bottom to replace the hidden back, home and menu and an outer ring of often used apps... I'm frankly blown away.
