Hi sorry for not replying soon i really love your LMT launcher function and love each bit of its custamization. Have you heard of the "Paranoid android halo Feature" (Pictures Below)if you have not then it is a new type of feature that lets you open one floating window of any type of app on top of another. If you know of the xposed framework in which you can make deep modification of the of android os without flashing ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401 ) there is a module which was released by zst123 called XHaloFloatingWindow ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2419287 ) which gives the same paranoid android halo feature to all types of ROMs and phones without flashing of course i was wondering if you could add that halo multiwindows feature to the LMT Launcher such that when we make a shortcut on the LMT Launcher we configure if we want to open it in halo style or in normal mode that is fullscreen so far there are three launchers out there which provide the option to open in halo style they are:-

1) Floating Notifications - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=robj.floating.notifications&hl=en

2) Bubble Launcher - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.esolutions4you.bubblelauncherxda

3) Floating Launcher - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.edge.drawer&hl=en

But they are not even close to as cool as yours and one of them is very buggy as it has problem even for starting. The source codes for the Paranoid android halo style is open source and if you want to talk to the developers of XHaloFloatingWindow i guess he will be happy to help you as far as i know in theory (Discussion goiing in XHaloFloatingWindow Forum) you have to add -f somewhere in the shortcut command.

I hope you can implemend this feature in the LMT Launcher such that the people who use halo style feature (Which is a lot) can use LMT Launcher to its full potential and i would even be happy to give a donation if it works. Please reply me if you would add this feature to LMT Launcher or not.

With what settings ?
[Android Software Development] zekenka:
Hi.

tested this on my Samsung galaxy s2 with cyanogen mod 10.1.2 (one of the latest builds)... and it doesnt seem to work at all... I selected the input number 2 like it says on 1st post, restarted the phone and also started started "touchservice" many times...

does any1 else face thease kinds of problems or is there particular fix for specific ROM / SGS 2?
[Android Software Development] guy4jesuschrist:
Thanks for further clarifying, and providing links! I've discussed similar integration with [MENTION=1864347]noname81[/MENTION], which would allow for creation of individual shortcuts instead of having every app open in a floating window. Not sure if you saw them, but the posts are linked below, if you think of anything else to add.

Both options would be great though, for those that desire different uses for LMT. I'm guessing that [MENTION=1864347]noname81[/MENTION] is looking into integration for a future release, so looking forward to what might come from these requests. :)

[Android Software Development] guy4jesuschrist:
No problem, just trying to share as much info as I can in advocation for the Shortcut menu to be added as an option in shortcut creation. As for the script option, it isn't working with LMT when it comes to launching apps in a floating window. It just launches the regular app. This is why I suggested the Shortcut menu option be added, since there are other apps that can create specific floating window shortcuts, such as Halo Shortcut and Floating Launcher.

[Android Software Development] GermainZ:
First of all, make sure you've got the correct input device ("Set gesture input" item). There's more info in the OP if you're not sure how to do this (check the Troubleshooting section).

If that's done and you're certain about it, also check if the pie is enabled, and check its position (see the "Activation area position" setting). Then place your finger wherever the pie's area is (e.g. right) and see if it appears. If not, try increasing the pie's "Activation area thickness" and/or "Activation area length".
[Android Software Development] scp1146:
I've tried all this, it's still not working... I have it set to left right and bottom, 100 thickness, and 600 length. I don't see an overlay, and I can't even tell when the thing is activated.

I use ROM Toolbox Pro, so below is the script to open it, but it still doesn't open in a floating window when using LMT.

am start com.jrummy.liberty.toolboxpro/com.jrummy.apps.rom.toolbox.RomToolboxActivity -f 0x2000

Note: you can also use 8192 after "-f" instead of 0x2000 to make it easier to type out other scripts, if we can get this working in the meantime, before [MENTION=1864347]noname81[/MENTION] adds functionality to pass flags through app shortcuts, and the options that we've requested and explained.

I'm not sure what app I can use to test the script, so that I know that it's the correct one for launching the app in a floating window. I believe [MENTION=4775688]GermainZ[/MENTION] helped me figure out how to do the scripting, so GermainZ might have an app to test the script in.

[Android Software Development] GermainZ:
You can use any terminal emulator app to test it. BTW, it's 8192 or 0x0002000, not 0x000020000 (actually, all the zeroes before the '2' don't matter so you can use 0x00000002000 as well, but there are only 3 zeroes after the '2' - just use 8192 :D).

Help Regarding S Advance

I've been using this forever and only just discovered today that touching the notifications that scroll out on the outer edge of the pie opens whatever is showing there! *slaps forehead* Feel so dumb!:p:p:p
[Android Software Development] BillyD325:
I don't think there is a visible overlay. At least I haven't seen one. I've been using it on my Nexus 7 tilapia for a few weeks now and it works fine (I am using pie, gestures, and isas) but the only indicator I ever see of it functioning (except of course for the visible pie) is when it displays the gesture in the center of the screen after I input one. Like if I double swipe down, it shows the symbol for that gesture inthe center of the screen as it does the activity for that gesture (in my case, Back).
[Android Software Development] guy4jesuschrist:
I tried launching both AppDialer Pro and ROM Toolbox Pro using Android Terminal Emulator, as well as ROM Toolbox Pro's own terminal emulator, and both apps launch normally, instead of in a floating window. Makes me think that maybe there's something wrong in the script.

These are the scripts I used:

am start com.jrummy.liberty.toolboxpro/com.jrummy.apps.rom.toolbox.RomToolboxActivity -f 8192

am start name.pilgr.appdialer.pro/name.pilgr.appdialer.AppDialer -f 8192

Note: Also tried the "-f 0x2000" flag.

EDIT: Also tried the script you posted here, with the free version of AppDialer, and it doesn't launch in a floating window either. There might be an issue with the newest version of the xHFW module, that wasn't present in the previous version, instead of an issue with the scripts.

EDIT 2: Reverted to 1.18 and the script for the free version of AppDialer didn't launch in a floating window either, so maybe there is something missing in the script. I'll be so glad when shortcut menu functionality is added to LMT, but now will be glad to get to the bottom of the script issue not even working with a shell command, haha.

EDIT 3: Ok, sorry for all of the edits, but I FINALLY figured it out! I went back to this post for an example of a floating window shortcut script, originally mentioned here, and found what was missing in the above scripts. Thanks for all your help and knowledge, [MENTION=4775688]GermainZ[/MENTION]!

Here are a few working scripts:

AppDialer Free

am start -n name.pilgr.appdialer/.AppDialer -f 0x0002000

AppDialer Pro

am start -n com.jrummy.liberty.toolboxpro/com.jrummy.apps.rom.toolbox.RomToolboxActivity -f 0x2000

[Android Software Development] oifi:
No problems here with chrome beta and lmt
[Android Software Development] DroidZombie:
It seems to have something to do with the experimental flags. It now plays havoc with the keyboard too. I think it has something to do with the layer compositing.

I've disabled all the flags and it seems to be working fine now. If I have the time and patience I'll try and figure out which one it is.

Failed Binder Transaction

Hi Noname81,

would it be possible to fix the "Failed Binder Transaction" error that prevents the app list from showing up in a future release? v1.1 does not cure the problem. I am running Froyo (2.2.1) on my Galaxy S (and would be happy to keep it because it is running perfectly stable): do you think the error is linked to this old android version?

Thanks a lot (LogCat follows: I tried to choose an app at around 20h16 (8h16 PM)).

Hi Noname81,

I have just seen your proposal to set "444" in the input dialog for "single touch gestures". I tried it and it does not work. But there is something strange: the value 444 does not stay (when I re-open the input dialog afterwards, the value is reverted to the previous value 0 or 1). Maybe, 444 is not taken into account? Or maybe I did not understand what to do: 444 should be entered in the "single touch gestures" input of the setting tab, right?

Best regards,

Pierre.

[Android Software Development] noname81:
It's OK that it doesn't stay. It just sets an internal value so that no icons are attached when loading the app dialog! Hm, I thought the icons were the problem... I read somewhere that too many images in a listview are causing problems in older android versions... I have to think about that problem now a little bit more...

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Android Software Development] ohtoulouz:
Hi Noname81,

thanks to think about this problem. But it is not necessary to spend too much time on it if it linked to my old android version: I am sure you have many more usefull things to develop and it is not too much of a problem for me as far as I can launch any application by a script through the application manager. In fact, what I think is really missing (and I thought it could be solved by using the "app" dialog instead of the "script" dialog) is a feedback image/icon when using the pie: I would love to have an optional user defined overlay image (that users could put inside a given folder) appearing somewhere on the screen when a pie is activated (a different image with or without longpress). This would help reminding the action a given pie would do, before actually performing the action. For instance, users could put images with a predefined size and name (for instance pie1.png, or pie1long.png for long press, and so on) in a folder and the relevant image pie1.png would show up on the screen when pie1 is pressed (replaced by pie1long.png in case of long press). I think that this could be possible because it seems similar to the overlay feedback image used for gesture.

Perhaps in a v1.2 ?

Best regards,

Pierre.
[Android Software Development] Bratag:
Noname. I have some experience with grabbing icons associated with apps (I wrote launcher dock which does it). Would be happy to share that code with you if you wanted it. Other than that I agree with the overlay idea.
[Android Software Development] yairlanz:
wow, this is bad news :(

I knew you need to rotate the pie but I thought it just a minor thing.

Thanks for your efforts. I'll keep tracking this thread.
[Android Software Development] ohtoulouz:
Grabbing icons from applications is a good idea, but it is not enough: there are so many actions a pie can perform. It would be nice to be able to have a feedback image whatever the pie action (app, script, URL and so on). The idea to grab user defined images from a specific folder is by far the most flexible solution (even if it is not the quickest one). Moreover, because of long press actions, you cannot put the customization image on the pie itself: keeping the finger on the pie to activate a long press action prevents from seeing the image underneath. Hence the idea of an overlay image somewhere else on the screen (on the left if the pie is on the right, for instance and vice-versa).

Anyway, definitely awesome work.
[Android Software Development] noname81:
You can only define left or right for the pie. The gravity value defines if the area should be y centered on the side or if it should start at the top or bottom. When you set a value you should see the area afterwards. It is not possible to set the overall position to top or bottom atm...

Sure. It's actually quite simple.

-go to tasks and create a new one.

-create an action

-choose script and shell script

-enter your script command (am start etcetc)

-mark run as root (wasn't able to get it to run without)

-after one back, you should have a button in the bottom right to choose an icon for your app. I'm not sure if it's right here or not but it'll prompt you if you don't have it when you try to export.

-hit back to the task that you named (I named mine Halo Hangouts)

-hit export as app.

-it'll have you download a Tasker app factory plugin from play store.

-once you have this, it'll go to the app screen. Select your app long name. E.g. com.whatever.whatever

-click advanced options.

-I like to give one more permission. android.permission.ACCESS_SUPERUSER

-hit back and it should pop up with a details screen and soon it'll be done generating.

-hit the little android icon and it'll install your app.

-add your app to lmt :)

Edit: I did this from memory so... LOL I tried!
