there are other apps that offer notifications, so that they are still accessible in expanded desktop mode. such floating notifications, notify pro, and countless others...

you couldn't develop an app that hacked into the system pie's activity, because not all rom's have a system pie. And if a rom does have a system pie, then why not just use that pie for the system notifications and such, and use LMT for apps and scripts, and whatever else... I mean if your using a rom that has a pie already, then most likely that pie can access the statusbar notifications and quick settings, why not use it, and allow the LMT to launch your favorite apps. Why make LMT hack into a pie to achieve the same thing the pie you're trying to hack into already does??

"Android internals" ?

I'm pretty sure any root app can write to /system or change files in it.
[Android Software Development] GermainZ:
AFAIK, you'll need to modify the source for that and build the ROM with the pie integrated, not just give it root access.

Have you tried clearing LMT's data, after killing it (from Running Services then Cached Apps)?

If possible, get a logcat first so the dev can take a look at it.

app icon not showing on pie

Dear all

I have been using lmt v 1.91 on my samsung s3 4.1.2 without any problems for more then 7 months

lately I have updated the handset to 4.2.2 and now when assigning an application for a pie, no icon is shown

instead APP is displayed on the pie and it is impossible to memorize the location of each location assigned.

any one could help me on this matter?

also same thing is occure on the latest version 1.99

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] GermainZ:
Is LMT set to show application icons? Pretty certain that's an option, look around the bottom.
[Android Software Development] 20545ZR16:
Solved.

Even the menu shows default enabled, it was actually disabled.

Thx

Hello

I've been reading or trying to on my little Samsung S4 screen looking to figure out why I can't seen to get Pie to appear when I touch the sides bottom of my screen.

Ice tried input options 1, 2, 8, 0 but nothing.

I taped the first option to enable, enabled left, right, bottom, figuring if be able to enable it somewhere but still nothing.

I've spent a day trying looking, searching via Google, YouTube but I'm sorry to say as you can tell I need to post this here.

Can anyone direct me as to what in missing?

Thanks

[Android Software Development] life:
have you tried making the activation area bigger? start at the edge of screen and slide in slowly, what i like to do is start at the edge of screen, and kinda roll my finger over to get it to pop up everytime.
[Android Software Development] n0m0n:
I changed the thick option to 40.

I have found that if I tap on the home button it will pop on for a moment.

I haven't found the left side or right side position and cant figure out how to.

Every time I start to tap all over the side either nothing happens or a app opens due to a widget or app on the home screen.

Thanks
[Android Software Development] Jshokamp:
Set gesture input to #3. You have to select which area you want it to be activated from left right or bottom. Start stop and profit.
[Android Software Development] life:
also when its set to the sides, start with the edge of your finger on the bezel of your device, and slowly roll your finger onto to the screen, and hold it, should be able to see the pie... must hold your finger on the screen to see pie, a tap will not do it.
[Android Software Development] RaymondPJR:
In case you missed it, OP, I made a retraction for the wrong information I gave in Wicked Rom thread about LMT being in the PlayStore. I sort of combined both LMT and Floating Notifications problems. It was FN that is now in the PlayStore. Very sorry!:o

Hi!

Is it possible to make this working on android 2.1? I'm trying to set it up on my nook simple touch, and I have a working settings, but I can't get the pie. The screen is 600*800. Thank you!

edit: When i try to do the gesture for the pie, the app closes and i get back to my launcher.

[Android Software Development] Psychotic-Cerebellum:
Hello all. LMT is a godsend. Allows me to get the benefits of ridiculous amounts of shortcuts while retaining touchwiz features. Made the option to stick with tw a rathet easy one for me. Habing problems with new Sprint S4 SPH-L720. Pie works wonderfully. Gestures on the other hard are juat not coming together for me. tried every input, tried lots of different gestures and also ISAS commands and couldn't get a single hit. Trying to ditch Nova for Action Launcher bunch I needs my gestures! Being able to gesture anywhere as opposed to just my deaktop is reason enough regardless of the launcher. Searched the thread and found someone who had the same issue but wasn't able to find an answer to said question. I know there's a great little community here though so I'm keeping my fingrrs crossed. Any help at all would really be greately appreciated. Thanks!
[Android Software Development] bsoplinger:
I did this on purpose on my tablet by changing the pie definition from the predefined LMT choice to the app choice and then selecting the LMT app. I did this because I couldn't see the long press action occur because my finger covered the text (don't remember which abbreviation shows) and my tablet doesn't have haptic feedback. Perhaps you did the same?

if you want the dialer as one of your pie slices, set activity/contacts/com.android.contacts.activities.DialtactsActivity or com.android.contacts.DialtactsActivity

both activities will work.
[Android Software Development] AllanJH:
Now that LMT Launcher is pretty much feature-complete, I'd like to see the ability to have multiple pies with different activation points and items for different ones. Perhaps with draggable activation placements, so one could be center bottom, one in the upper right corner, etc.

This could turn LMT into a gesture-lover's dream launcher.

[Android Software Development] bsoplinger:
If search through the thread you'll see screenshots of mine showing how I dealt with this issue. I added custom icons for every pie wedge that had a custom key defined so I could tell them apart. In my case it was initially for volume up/down actions but I've since added play/pause/ff/rev and take screenshot also.

[Android Software Development] Psychotic-Cerebellum:
Thanks for reply! I did attempt the instructions in the Op but finally figured out after playing with it that I just needed to round up a slight bit. The resolution on the s4 is stated everywhere as 1020 x 1920. However, in the terminal emulator it states 1019 x1919 so I was getting decimals when dividing but wasn't able to put the decimal in the x and y axis slot. A duh moment on my part came about and I just p

put 1 for both the x and y axis and taDUH! ISAS and gestures working beautifully. First time using terminal emulator so I was already a little intimidated off the bat so I'll blame it on that... Anyway thanks again for the reply and to anyone with an S4 if you want ISAS and Gestures working select 3 as your input and 1 for both the x and y axis in the ISAS settings.

Oh yeah would just also like to state for the record, Couldn't live without LMT and PA Pie is just a novelty. IMHO at least. Thank you again and donation definitely incoming whenever I'm able :D
[Android Software Development] skyli91:
Please, could somebody response?

I have the setting, but when I try to pull the pie, the app just closes but i can' see the pie.

[Android Software Development] blchinezu:
Hi. I've got a small issue with the app.

Because of the lack of sufficient RAM, LMT restarts itself sometimes and my phone lags a lot when this happens. It's really disturbing sometimes.

So I've tried converting it to system app with Titanium Backup thinking that this might solve it but LMT is not working anymore after converting.

Is there any way of making the process persistent so that android won't try to close it when it gets hungry for memory?

I've got a Samsung Galaxy S i9000 with Hellybean 4.2.2.
[Android Software Development] GermainZ:
You can't.

Are you sure it's not detecting another gesture that does that, for example? If that's the case, double check your X & Y dimensions.
[Android Software Development] diestarbucks:
So a couple of things:

-There is nothing wrong with asking questions-although please do search and at least read the OP and a few pages first.

-If you do all that and still ask your question, make sure it is in a respectful way and not in a way that could seem derogatory or disrespectful. If you have any questions about this, you can PM me first.

-If someone does make a post that you think is derogatory or disrespectful...report it. I promise one of us will be in to take care of it. Responding to it in the thread is unacceptable and more often than not will make things much worse rather than better-like it did here. It is unnecessary, and all it does is derail a thread and make it harder for people looking for actual information to find it.

Now then, lesson over-hopefully. Let's get back on topic.
[Android Software Development] blchinezu:
I've marked LMT as Resident with Xposed App Settings and for the moment it seems ok. It didn't restart itself until now so I suppose this did the trick.

I thought I should post just in case someone else is interested.

What is the right action name for a custom icon which is used for triggering a Tasker task named as "ActionX"?
[Android Software Development] life:
If your just naming the icon so that it will show up in the pie, it would be pie0.png or pie1.png or so on depending on where in the pie it is
[Android Software Development] e154037:
I know that, but i want to use action name instead of position name.
[Android Software Development] bsoplinger:
From the OP it would be TaskerTask with the implication that there's no differentiation between multiple tasks.

[Android Software Development] ephestione:
I confirm that in 0.25 I see no strange overlay behaviour for the HD2 (in the end I jumped directly from 0.1 to 0.25).

Something weird and funny at the same time, is that LMT for Android, just like the WinMo version, doesn't keep the gesture/command combos saved when installing an update! I had to manually reassing them all ;)

you sure you started the service and have root on your device plus gave LMT root permissions? :)
[Android Software Development] noname81:
It should keep the combos in future but I refactored the commands a little bit for the v0.3 already, so combos were lost... :-)

As already asked: does LMT have root permissions? Otherwise please send me a logcat. I somewhere heard about touchscreen issues with cm7. So perhaps they changed the touchscreen driver and that also breaks LMT's recognition code...

[Android Software Development] ryanalan82:
Yes, I gave it root. I stopped and started it so many times and tried all the inputs too. Even uninstalled and reinstalled all three versions. I thought it might be something with using launcher pro plus, so I uninstalled, and still didn't work, so I put everything back the way it was. I must ask though. How do u do a logcat?

Swyped from my eVo 3d
[Android Software Development] noname81:
The easiest way is to install e.g. catlog from the market and just record the logcat with your phone via the app. Otherwise you could install adb (android debug bridge) on your pc and log the logcat via "adb logcat" on the command line - just google the procedure.

[Android Software Development] ephestione:
I asked it for WM, and have to ask it again for android: disable gesture recognition for movements started from inside the soft keyboard, whichever it may be (stock, swype, whatever)? As a fallback, disable gesture recognition altogether when keyboard is open, even if it would cut out some functionality.

Swype likes to fight with LMT ;)

Please add to the 'to do list':

1. Trigger the

back key.

2. 'L' shaped gestures

3. Gesture sensivity (minimum Gesture size).

4. Working auto assigning of arbitrary app to gesture (like in WinMo version).

5. Ignore of unassigned gestures.

Thanks. :)

P.S. Your app is just excellent.
[Android Software Development] noname81:
Hi, I had an hour left today and implemented some new features (see first page!) With this update point 3 and point 5 should be fine now. The remaining points from your list:

1. Just use a shell script to fire the needed events. Is it clear what to do?

2. The "L" gesture would too much interfere with your normal scrolling behaviour. So I don't know if it's a good idea to add such a gesture.

4. I have to check if this feature is possible with Android. So it's on my list for v0.4... :-)
[Android Software Development] rgreat:
Nope. Can someone explain how to do it?

But still, you have long presses for Home and Search build in already, so why not to add the Long Back key too? ;)

As long as it is a double fingers "L" i don't see any possible problems.

We will eagerly await. ;)
[Android Software Development] noname81:
Hi, the problem with the long press keys is that there is no generic way to trigger them programmatically. So the only way to do this is to send device specific events. My intention is to keep LMT as generic for "all" Android devices as possible.

Nevertheless, here is the shell script to trigger the long press back key via script. Just copy it to your phone and set the correct path in LMT...
[Android Software Development] noname81:

[Android Software Development] vince2773:
A few weeks ago my almost-2-year-old HD2 screen died for the second time (luckily it was still barely under warranty) and I decided to move ahead and got myself a brand new Sensation.

CHT, LMT and MyMobiler were the three things I immediately missed the most about Android.

Last night - while researching - I found out about this thread and ... Wow! Noname81 you deserve a ton of thanks. LMT on Android is such great news.

Maybe I'm going a little OT here ... but ... my only concern is the need for rooting.

I have to admit that I am still a n00b on Android, but I have figured out that (almost) everyone does it and that it's not going to harm the phone. But given I had to send my Leo back in every year or so I know for a fact that HTC (and/or its service partners) will find each and every possible excuse and rooting is one of them.

Are you really sure phones need to be rooted? Let me give you an example. As I said above, one of the three things I was missing was MyMobiler (I'm sure you kow it from WinMo). The Android port from the same dev requires rooting. And all the similar apps around required rooting if you wanted true interaction (i.e. not just view the phone on the PC screen, but also send commands with the mouse).

And I read lengthy discussions on why only rooting allowed to do that.

Until finally I bumped into a great application which is best known for contact and messaging sync (MyPhoneExplorer) which does indeed have the very little publicized ability to show an interactive window on your PC with your Android phone screen. And - of course - no rooting required.

Sorry for the long story, and please don't get me wrong: I'm not nagging and I have the utmost respect for the awesome work you (and many many others) provide to this community ... for free.

I just wanted to throw in my two cents and (maybe) spark new thoughts along the line "do we REALLY need to root the phone to accomplish this"?.

Anyway thanks again for porting to Android what was already a WinMo masterpiece.
[Android Software Development] noname81:
I can understand your concern but instead of the old WinMo Android is a locked down system to make it more secure. And what does LMT actually do? LMT is able to monitor _all_ (touch) events in the system (like a keylogger on a PC!) and is able to inject those events again (like an auto dialer, etc.). Those two mechanisms are not allowed as a normal Android application: So LMT needs ROOT permissions to do all this evil... :)

Btw: Rooting the sensation is straight forward via Revolutionary tool. I did it once to test LMT on the sensation and it took me 5 min... :)
[Android Software Development] vince2773:
Noname81, thanks for the fast and kind reply. Very useful. I can understand where the limitations come from (security) although I believe some of the measures taken by OS / HW producers seem to forget hard-learnt lessons from the market. But this would really take us way OT.

I guess I'll need to root my sensations soon - very soon. After five weeks on Android, half an hour ago I still found myself trying to double-swipe the screen to switch between applications. I need LMT back sooooo bad!

Thanks again for your efforts on LMT and your time here.
[Android Software Development] vince2773:
Okay, this morning I took the plunge and rooted my sensation.

I downloaded the LMT v0.3 and installed it. I set Input to 2 but it seems not to pick up any gesture (I just set SwipeUpDouble to Home and SwipeDownDouble to HomeLongPress, SwipeLeftDouble to Back and SwipeRightDouble to Menu).

What am I possibly doing wrong?

1.0 is better than I could imagine. Changed the way I use my phone for the better. I was getting jealous with the new versions of AOKP where you could add apps and shortcuts to your nav bar and almost switched back to using one. A few days later, 1.0 comes and it's everything I missed out on. Awesome stuff. :)

Only suggestion may be to use an icon to denote the custom app we set instead of just "APP". I have 2 custom apps set in my wheel and while I obviously know what they launch, it would be nicer to see some icons. I'm sure you have it planned for later releases.

Thanks again.
