Re: [App][3.x][4.x] full!screen - App to hide/replace Systembar

You must have big fingers, :) I found 50 px to be the perfect size for me.

Love the app, the extra screen real estate is great especially on a 7 inch tablet we need all we can get. Only finding a couple small issues. Tablet is Nexus 7 3G with latest Android (4.2.1) stock rooted.

1. Not all notifications are showing up for me (see attached images stock vs full!screen)

2. When moving icons to the dock in Nova Launcher Prime if you don't place them perfectly they will not snap to the grid and will be completely unusable, reboot of tablet brings them back (see attachment). Only happens with full!screen enabled.

Keep up the improvements and I'll surely be purchasing the paid app soon, thanks.

Re: [App][3.x][4.x] full!screen - App to hide/replace Systembar

I guess the app is not really meant for phone lol,:D 80px on my 4.5 inch Xperia TX(720x1280 display) is really small for my thumb, hehehe. It would be good still if the option for bigger touch area is there. :D

Re: [App][3.x][4.x] full!screen - App to hide/replace Systembar

I myself am using an Xperia T too; just asked the author a few posts back if there was any problem using it in a phone, because I really like the way it works.

I guess the difference between you and me is that I use the index finger rather than the thumb.

But I am all for giving the users as much customization as possible, so I hope he hears you.

There is one main problem known on some phones.. You might not be able to directly accept calls anymore... The phone will ring, but the dialog to accept the call oes not get displayed. So you quickly have to restore Systembar to accept any call. I cannot reproduce this on my own phone, so I am currently not able to solve that problem. Also notifications are implemented in a very basic way, for now there is only acustical feedback.If your phone has a LED it will not get activatd on new notifications... but I am working on that.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
Good Idea! Added this to my constantly growing ToDo-List :)
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
The app displayes only notifications which occured after activating it's accessibility-service. So after a reboot all notifications should show up. If theres nevertheless some notifications missing, please tell me which ones don't show up, and I'll investigate that.

The misplaced Icons occur also on my device with Nova-Launcher. I assume Nova Launcher does not recalibrate it's grid when systembar gets hidden. Just restart Nova Launcher (within Novas settings, first tab) and Icons will be placed correctly. Not full!screens fault :D
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
not really :D ... However I'll do my best to support as much devices as possible.. I think I change size-setting from px to dip.. should be scaled much bigger then on smaller displays.

Haven't tried, but for now you could manually change the preferences:

Kill (not just disable) full!screen, change the value of key

<int name="pref_btn_size" value="50" />

within

/data/data/de.tsorn.FullScreen/shared_prefs/de.tsorn.FullScreen_preferences.xml

After reboot the touch areas should accept the new value. Unfortunately the value gets reset after opening full!screens preferences. :/
[Android Apps and Games] Arcano:
Re: [App][3.x][4.x] full!screen - App to hide/replace Systembar

Thanks for the clarification. I will do some tests tomorrow and see how it behaves regarding the incoming calls.

Regarding the notifications, ¿does that happen even if the app is *not* handling them (not active in the accessibility tab)?.

--

[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
No, when full!screen is disabled it releases all notification-handling and the phone will handle them itself with all options (LED, Vibro...)
[Android Apps and Games] glimmling:
I found some small issues.

In some apps the softbuttons are showing, even when full!screen is not activated for them.

For example the gallery:

In some other apps there is a black bar on the bottom, when full!screen is activated. In this case you can not see all parts of the app.

Example: Photoshop Touch or Sketchbook Mobile

From time to time the SystemUI.apk is crashing and the wrong wallpaper will be restored.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
mhh, didn't think of this because I mainly developed the app on a tablet with single bottom systembar. This is likely caused by the split navigation/notification bar. (When an app hides the notificationbar on those devices full!screen gets notified about the resized usabele area and assumes the systembar is completely hidden) I'll provide a fix for that in next update.

About the second problem: I could confirm it for Sketchbook Mobile. Unfortunately there is nothing I could do about. Seems those apps don't draw their windows based on the size of the useable area but on a size which might be reported by the system. :confused: too bad.

Can you provide more info about SystemUI crashing? That should not happen at all. Can you reproduce the crash or does it happen randomly?

Re: [App][3.x][4.x] full!screen - App to hide/replace Systembar

Just downloaded. Great little app. One question, the left option to show current running apps, is there a way of closing the running apps or just launching them....
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
Apps appearing in the list are not necessarily active, actually most of those apps already got ended by the system before...

No, unfortunately the well known "swipe to kill" function of the original can't be implemented because the necessary permission is only granted to apps with systems signature. However i might implement an option to kill the apps like TaskManager apps would do... but this would not remove the apps from that recent-apps-list because that list is managed by android itself.
[Android Apps and Games] Arcano:
What I meant is if the notifications will be "lost" too if Full!screen is enabled, but not given accessibility rights.

[Edit (2013-01-20): I've done some tests and yes, they will be lost too.]

And regarding the problem with not being able to answer a call, I have that issue too, the call screen does not come on, so it is impossible to answer. It is a real pity, because I really liked this program.
[Android Apps and Games] murlidhar85:
Re: [App][3.x][4.x] full!screen - App to hide/replace Systembar

would like to report a bug that the call screen isn't visible when the app is enabled. no way to pick up an incoming call.

edit : the phone is Motorola defy and running ICS.
[Android Apps and Games] Arcano:
Re: [App][3.x][4.x] full!screen - App to hide/replace Systembar

Yep, that is a known bug, and the main thing keeping me from going to the plus version, along with the notifications thing I mention above

[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
Sorry for misunderstanding... Yes, when original systembar gets disabled, you will lose all functions which are usually handled by it's process. This of course includes notificationhandling. It's a problem all similar apps struggle with... that's why I implemented the recent apps and notification panel.

I *might* have found the problem which disables the incoming call screen on few phone devices...

/Edit

uploaded latest version. Please confirm if the update solves the problem with incoming calls on phones..
[Android Apps and Games] Arcano:
Google Play ain't showing any update for me...
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
It's not yet available at Google Play.. I need to adopt all changes to plus-version before uploading both versions to Play Store. Latest version will always be available a few hours/days earlier in first post of this thread :)
[Android Apps and Games] Arcano:
Oh, I didn't think of checking the first post. Will download and try and let you know in a few minutes.

---------- Post added at 09:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

¡It works!, accessibility service needs to be turned on though, otherwise the call screen doesn't come on, but it works alright both while in an app, and with the screen off.

One other change I've noticed is I did not "lose" the notification when doing the test without the accessibility service; obviously I could not see it while full!screen was active, but it showed fine after I disabled it later.
[Android Apps and Games] murlidhar85:

Hi, ¿are you planning on porting the incoming call fix to the "official" versions, or do you need any other test from us?.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
Of course the latest, fixed version will be uploaded to Play Store. I currently don't have much time during workdays. So I will apply all new features to plus version and do necessary tests on weekend. You can expect "official" version on saturday evening or sunday.
[Android Apps and Games] Arcano:

Bug report:

Wifi icon in notification area does not show signal strength, it just shows a grey symbol with no signal strength arcs. Wifi operation not affected.

Re: [App][3.x][4.x] full!screen - App to hide/replace Systembar

Confirmed. I did notice this while I was doing some tests, but since I am running AOKP I thought it might be the rom's fault.

And since it's only esthetic, I didn't care much.

[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
It's not a bug, it's a feature!

This means you have a very stable wifi-connection... :D

Changes of the rssi are broadcasted by the system. When closing the notificationspanel the previous value was not saved. When opening the panel again the app had to wait for the next rssi-broadcast. On my device these broadcasts occured every few seconds, so the displayed wifi-level came back very quickly... on a stable wifi-connection it would take much longer.

However it is already fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] Arcano:
Always good to learn new things.

As soon as 1.52 is up on Google Play I'll give it a go. I'm really interested in having Full!screen react automatically to what program I'm in, just waiting for the incoming call fix to be merged in the plus version.
[Android Apps and Games] Arcano:
I just noticed that version 1.52 has been uploaded to Google Play, and after a few tests it works pretty well.

You sir just got another customer. :D
[Android Apps and Games] Stevethegreat:
Hey man, I've downloaded the newest version and the notification center is turning into a full featured beast. Thanks for that :)

May I request though to add a switch in the form of a shortcut or even widget from which we could enable/disable w/t having to open the whole app? A quick toggle of shorts.

Lastly I have to restate (if that's OK) how great it would be to have the feedback "flash" being visible even in "low opacity" . I mean I'm enamored with the idea of havind buttons that are as little visible as possible but at the same time I find having feedback absolutely essential in my usage so I'm "forced" to have my buttons visible right now. I mean I would completely love if I could somehow combine those (almost invisible buttons but a very visible feedback when pressed). If that's easy to be implemented of course...

Again thanks for this convenient piece of software. Keep up the good work :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Arcano:
Re: [App][3.x][4.x] full!screen - App to hide/replace Systembar

There's an option to show a notification for quickly enabling / disabling full screen.

However once you try the automatic service there's no going back. :)

[Android Apps and Games] Stevethegreat:
Yeah I'm aware of that but it doesn't help when my system kils full screen to save memory (then I'd have to reopen the app manually) and also it is not usable in tasker. I guess a shortcut would not be bad as a "failsafe" method for those not completely covered by the notification option. Then again it also matters how easily it can be implemented too...
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
Thanks for the coffee! :)

Glad that you like the app.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
[x] widget will be done.

I am not sure if others might be happy with that kind of flashing visual feedback... Some might want to have the buttons completely invisible in any case... Eventually I will implement some kind of extended "steve-options" which users can choose to activate to have full control about fine tuning the touch areas.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
Uuuh ? there must be something very very wrong with your system if it happens that Android decides to kill full!screen. By a little hack I used full!screen is always running with "perceptible" priority. It is very unlikely (only under really extreme pressure) that those apps ever get killed. If you enable the notifications-service of full!screen it is even running with priority "visible". No matter what I tried, I never could pressurize the system that hard to kill full!screen then.

( "adb shell dumpsys meminfo" will tell you which priority apps are running at)
[Android Apps and Games] cis.snakeman:
Hu I missed the thread on XDA :p

Hello (bis) Tsorn,

Thank for the app, work well with SuperSU instead of superuser : :p

Work like a charm on my Android Game Handled console, perfect for old-school gaming with emulators :silly:

Only remaining issue it is to display the "app menu", the touch zone did'nt work :/
[Android Apps and Games] Arcano:
Regarding the visual feedback. Let me throw an idea at you, in case you find it convenient to implement:

¿how about coloring one button when a notification has arrived while Full!screen was active?.

Personally I've set the right button, long press, to show notifications. I would give it a shade of red or something if a new notification arrives. Something like this:

Normal use:

New notificacion has arrived:

http://imageshack.us/a/img163/5761/screenshot2013012817281.png

Just a thought.
[Android Apps and Games] Stevethegreat:
My tablet has extremely little memory :/ , I think it is what is wrong. I've tried at least a couple of ways to mitigate the issue but most don't work quite well. Having the app as notification service mostly solves the problem but then it eats a bit more of my precious memory. Anyway this is not a problem with your app, do not worry, I'm the one to be blamed ;) . Still a widget or a shortcut would go long ways to help other people in other occasions too so I think it will be a welcome addition regardless...

As for the "steve-options", heh I really don't like to put you in a hard position or anything if that's too hard. I mean i've already bought your app and I'm quite happy with it, and I'm sure to recommend it to as many tablet owners that I know of, so I will try to promote your app regardless. Sill, customization is always welcome ;)

Again thank you very much, you made me love my lowly tablet more and I'll prolly try to install fullscreen onto my phone as well, with the new notification center I may well love it there as well :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
with any app in foreground that has it's options-menu located in the systembar, could you please try if this invokes the menu?

adb shell input keyevent 82

PS what does "(bis)" mean? :confused:

never thought of this. Great idea! Shouldn't be to hard to implement..
[Android Apps and Games] snow_android:
Great app!

1 suggestion : as a fail-safe, a toggle to switch full!screen off in the long press power menu?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
Not possible. The switch you might find in the power menu is only available in custom ROMs because it requires patching of of the systems framework... It's not possible for user apps to include an entry in that power menu.

/Edit: why would you need a failsafe-option? Do you experience crashes or something?
[Android Apps and Games] gsurath:
Why oh Why did I take so long?

Tsom,

:highfive:

I just downloaded this last night and gave it a rip. Hence my message title. Can't believe its taken me so much time to try this:(

I love what you have done with this app and its just what I need for my Acer A500. Brilliant job. Thanks

On the other hand, I need to go resize all my wallpapers to this new resolution. which I will do quite happily ofcourse!
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
你好,

thanks for your kind words!

I'm wondering why you need to resize your wallpapers? Usually this should not be necessary because while creating the backup also all layoutparameters of the wallpaper are saved... and restored later.

Which Android version does your A500 run at? Do you use any special launcher or any app which might interfere with wallpaper-handling?
[Android Apps and Games] geert000:
Have a problem, after flashing stock JB and rooting, i installed "fullscreen" and i do not have any more sound notification when receiving an sms.

[Android Apps and Games] bsoplinger:
I got here yesterday from another thread. Like the app so much I bought the paid version. Now I have a question. The free version starts almost immediately but the + version take about 10 seconds to start. Why such a big difference?
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
I am afraid there is no help for now. My own phone doesn't have that problems with incoming phone calls or sms. So I cannot investigate that problems or do any tests with potential workarounds and fixes. :( The fix for missing incoming call screen which was introduced in 1.5.2 was found by chance. I stumbled upon that solution while reading API-documentation... unfortunately I currently have no clue, why there is still problems with incoming SMS.

The latest free version posted here (1.5.3b) implements some workaround to fix problems with broken/outdated su-binarys. Startup is much faster? -> Seems this workaround works :D

That workaround isn't available in official version (1.5.2) yet, so that long startup you experience is most likely caused by that su-problem. I assume you use "ChainsDD superuser" ? It seems to have some problems on ICS+ devices... I'd suggest to install SuperSU and let it upgrade your su-binary... it is working much more reliable and should fix your problem.
[Android Apps and Games] bsoplinger:
Re: [App][3.x][4.x] full!screen - App to hide/replace Systembar

Re: [App][3.x][4.x] full!screen - App to hide/replace Systembar

Idd i would like to see that too

Only nav keys hidden and not statusbar, is this possible?
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
On devices with split systembar (notifications on top and navigation on bottom) it is not possible to just hide navigationbar. This unfortunately is a system-limitation and no workaround possible. Buttons bar and notifications bar are created by the same process. Disabling this process obviously means disabling both bars.

Wallpaper

After unlocking the screen, the status bar hides normally, but my wallpaper changes to some other that i even cannot find in my device, also fullscreen wont hide status bar after unlock screen if i dont use app dependent...

[Android Apps and Games] bsoplinger:
Re: [App][3.x][4.x] full!screen - App to hide/replace Systembar

Another question...

Is it possible to start the app at boot so that I get the status bar notification but not have my tablet in full screen mode? I only use it for games. Most of the time I'm happy with the split status bar being visible.
[Android Apps and Games] aspico:
Buy fulscreen+ and you can choose witch apps should be in fulscreen mode and which not.
[Android Apps and Games] Kick4U:
Feature request

I love this app, the app watcher feature is amazing.

I would really like an added feature I hope isn't too difficult:

could there be a seperate watched apps list for when the tablet is docked and not? Without this feature, I am forced to use both buttons, however this feature would remove one button when docked (as I'll need the second button when the tablet isn't).

Thanks for your effort!
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
That unknown wallpaper you see is the default one, which is build into the systems framework. Theoretically this should only show up when hiding/restoring systembar very quickly several times under heavy system load... Do you see this wallpaper appearing at every boot?

Also with App Monitor disabled the systembar gets disabled after boot... just tried.

There are a few problems related to buggy su-binaries causing timouts (which might explain your problems) during boot, which hopefully will be circumvented with next update.

The notification is completely independent from the service itself... so if you disable autostart and service but keep "show notification" checked, the notification should always be shown - even after reboot. Doesn't it on your device? :confused: which app version are you using?

Uhh, thats really an especial request. I don't have a device which supports docking so I couldn't test that at all... also only very very few users might need that. But: I am planning to add Tasker-support eventually. Also planned app-dependent profiles (different configuration of touch-areas) could then be used to completely control full!screen by Tasker... though this is at the far end of a long road, so don't expect this very soon.
[Android Apps and Games] bsoplinger:

AW: [App][3.x][4.x] full!screen - App to hide/replace Systembar
