Thank you so much

Please do not take my request as an insult, your app is much appreciated and works extremely well.

I look forward to the tasker implementation.

I thought since android broadcast the dock state as a sticky Intent it wouldn't be that hard, but I haven't exactly gotten into android development yet. figured it would only be an "if" statement using the broadcast described here: http://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/docking-monitoring.html

the app-dependent profiles seem very similar to the docking request. A second monitor list would be used when the ACTION_DOCK_EVENT is high.

btw- the paid version misspells monitors as monitores

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

I have some feedback (yay)...

Firstly, thanks for thinking of a new idea, not "just another one of those fullscreen apps"... everyone knows CM has expand desktop mode implemented already...

Small footprint, uses less than 10MB of my precious RAM, so thanks for that.

Criticism: It'd be good if you implemented the actual stock notification draw rather than... whatever the app uses. That way, we-who-are-on-4.2 can use status bar toggles, and the usual bog standard CM toggles over the normal notification dropdown. I just want a small button in the corner that can drop down my notif. draw and toggles, this was it'd be smaller and just work better.

Also the app breaks recent apps, once again why don't you just implement Android's own recent apps function?

That's about it... please fix the aforementioned things and I will happily use this app.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
It's not possible... I'd be stupid to reinvent the wheel rather than using an already available... :D also I'm pretty sure there was no need for another of those fullscreen apps, as the others would already have implemented that "just launch Androids stock panels"-idea.

By disabling the SystemUI-process (the only way to hide statusbar on vanilla Android) obviously all related functions also get disabled...
[Android Apps and Games] HTCDreamOn:
RE: [App][3.x][4.x] full!screen - App to hide/replace Systembar

I was saying to NOT reinvent the wheel... you aren't using what's already available, are you, because if you were then you would be using the System-UI process. I do still like you're idea, it's still better than others because it has more features.

Also, I didn't realise that the only way to hide the status bar was by actually stopping System-UI, so yeah sorry my argument was slightly unfounded in that case.

I been looking for an app like this. Awesome.
[Android Apps and Games] g_BonE:
Hi there. I bought the + version on market yesterday and do have a question regarding automatic start now. i use the app on my android tv stick and on every reboot i can see the app starts okay via "root access enabled" message from su BUT it is not enabled forcing me to enter the app and clicking the enable button. is there a way to have it start automatically enabled ? that would be ver helpful as i reboot the stick nightly...
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
After boot the app should start with services enabled if you check "autostart". There are some problems with outdated su-binaries, especially with "ChainsDD Superuser" on ICS and JB. Most problems can be solved by installing "Chainfire SuperSu" and let it upgrade your su-binary (Other Apps, like GMD Gesture Control struggle with those problems too ...)

The latest full!screen-version (still beta and being tested) hopefully circumvents those problems, it will be available at Play Store soon.

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

I have a rather odd bug to report.

When I leave the "King's Bounty: Legions" app via the standard Android previous apps button the game exits and frees memory. When I leave via the previous app function in full!screen+ the game sticks around in memory. I mention this because the game is a huge memory hog and my Nexus lags badly until Android gets around to removing it or I use an app killer which I don't want to do.

[Android Apps and Games] BuffMcBigHuge:
Works perfectly on the HP Touchpad!
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
I am afraid I don't quite understand. Maybe I am just to blind, stupid or whatsoever... The game doesn't provide a proper way to exit? The "back" button doesn't work at all. The game doesn't exit, neither with full!screens nor with original systemUIs back button... The only way to escape is by directly switching to homescreen or to another app by using recent apps list. Whatever I tried, the game always resided in memory, with fullscreen enabled or disabled. I couldn't see a difference.

My tablet also was laggy as hell after using the game... until it got killed by Android to free up memory. But as mentioned before there was no difference with full!screen enabled or disabled. :confused:

/Edit: Usually it is the proper way to design apps like this, ie to NOT let the app completely shut down itself. Android is designed this way... thats why using task killer apps on Android is some kind of nonsense. BUT for such a memory munching monster game it is somehow ignorant by the developers to NOT offer a method to exit it immediately. :mad:
[Android Apps and Games] bsoplinger:
Re: [App][3.x][4.x] full!screen - App to hide/replace Systembar

Re: Task killer apps. I understand and don't use one that runs and kills apps. However I do keep one running to deal with the occasional misbehaving app or odd memory situation. Getting the memory hog of King's Bounty out of memory is just such a reason.

The only apps I've seen that refuse to respond to back and that don't offer an exit choice are data mining type games but that doesn't apply here. I completely agree that its a bad choice that they didn't offer a way to exit what they had to know was a memory hog of an app.

Perhaps my tablet's memory situation is such that the few extra Mb fullscreen takes to be running requires an extra app to be freed in order to make room to run the game. Then when its done there's just enough space that Android doesn't feel a need to make room for whatever I run. But when I don't have fullscreen running the memory situation is just enough different that Android removes it to make room when I leave. I usually just go to the home screen and Apex Launcher does use a chunk of memory.

Since you've looked into it I'll just add the extra step of having to kill it when I'm done. Appreciate you checking things out.

I had only posted about it because just like you noticed my tablet lags horribly until Android removes it and frees up memory.
[Android Apps and Games] butcherbird:
Thanks for this app. It came pre-loaded with CleanROM.

Any chance that one of the long-press actions could be set to snap screenshots? That would be most helpful.

Thank you again!

My need for exact dimensions

Actually, because of the issue of wallpaper sizing on A500 we had to use a specific template that allowed us to resize the wallpaper to the correct dimensions due to the way the gallery app would crop it. I now need to make small adjustments to that template to correct the stretching. Only need this if you are really picky:). Using Apex Launcher.

Separately, I have moved to 4.2.2 and hiding the system bar is also killing my access to the quick settings when I am in phablet mode. Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
Unfortunately no. Taking screenshots is no official Android functionality. There is a hidden screenshot method available which was introduced in ICS, but I assume this can only be acessed by system apps (haven't tried yet).

3rd party Apps which take screenshot usually grab the image from systems framebuffer... far to complex and error-prone to be implemented in full!screen :(

But:

Good idea... I might implement something like this, so if it's possible to remote control any of those screenshot apps you can take screenshots that way.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
update available

I didn't have much time during the past weeks, so it took a while for this update..

The latest version hasn''t been tested very well, so there might be some issues... even though I didn't experience any serious bugs.

Some new options to configure touch areas have been implemented:

Color and transparency can be configured individually for normal and pressed state.

Long click timeout can be controlled.

Fine control of acustic and haptic feedback for events.

! These extended options need to be activated within the apps Options menu !

( I didn't want the app to look to complicated at first glance for non-power-users)

A new event "swipe" has been added... swipe on touch area at any direction to invoke a third action...

New Action "Pie Menu": this opens a Pie menu next to the touch area which can be freely configured for any event. So if you assign this Pie Menu for long click and short click, both menus can be configured individually. Configuration is simple: click the little wrench-icon next to the action-list to open the configuration-panel. Drag Icons of actions into the pie-menu-example. Actions can also be rearranged or removed by dragging them. I suggest to not add more than 3 or 4 actions to that menu, it won't look good, because the icons are not resized to fit perfectly (for now) ... besides that there are not so many actions available for now. :) But I will implement some more in future versions, like Volume- or Media-control, or ability to launch other apps from that pie-menu.

[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
free and plus version are build on the same code (except the main service and app monitor). So the paid version is currently at the same state as the free one - stable, but not tested very extensively. Hope you understand that I am not willing to release it to Play Store at this stage. I personally don't like apps which ask for update every couple of days just to fix any bug.

I am testing both versions on emulators with different Android and different root-manager, different screen-resolution and different (simulated) hardware.

The free version currently has nearly 15k active users. An undiscovered bug would be ... really nasty ... I think...

Those who get the "b"-version from this thread know of the risk of bugs and can easily switch back to stable one. Play Store users can't.

If you (or anyone else with plus-license) want to take the "risk" of using latest beta-plus-version: just pm me your email-address and I'll send you the latest apk.

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

The best android app, I need an option to kill the process is to hold down the backspace key, or to put in the foot other applications or shares of other applications.

I hope that future updates will bring these options.

Very good job works perfect on my tablet Asus TF101

To keep it up!

La mejor app de android, una opción que me falta es la de matar proceso al mantener pulsada la tecla retroceso, o poder poner en el pie otras aplicaciones o acciones de otras aplicaciones.

Espero que en próximas actualizaciones se pongan estas opciones.

kill.. it seems I can't get around implementing it :-/

possibility to launch other apps and more actions (volume or media control) from pie-Menu is on my ToDo list.

thanks for clarifying this, I was little confused by "foot"... funny coincidence :) Google indeed sometimes gives nice translations.

Just give it a try. There are still issues with few devices. You might lose ability to accept incoming calls or receive SMS in fullscreen mode. Please make sure to test any function of your phone before using full!screen. If it doesn't work, just uninstall and reboot.

An issue on Galaxy Nexus

Hi,

I'm running the latest "plus" version from the market on my rooted Galaxy Nexus (with stock Android 4.2.1).

Everything is working great, except the custom notification bar which appears when I'm using the "Show Notifications" action.

When I'm in an app monitored by full!screen+ and click on the touch area to show notifications, usually the notifications are seriously outdated and the notifications are shown as they were hours (if not days) before.

In addition, once in a while the app just stops hiding the notification bar, both for the monitored apps and by clicking the full!screen notification. In such cases I have to force stop it and start it again.

Let me know if there is something else I can tell or provide to help understanding the problem.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] vNa5h:
Great app!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
The notifications are not synchronized. When removing notifications from original panel, this is not always detected in full!screen and vice versa. On few devices it might be detected when removing notifications from original panel one by one. Hitting the "remove all" icon however can't be detected at all. It's unfortunately a limitation by Android. Accessibility services only receive new notifications but don't get any information about removing them. So you migth need to remove those notifications twice... within original and full!screens panel.
[Android Apps and Games] afainber:
My problem is mostly with new notifications not appearing and not with the need to remove twice. When I'm in a full screen mode and hear an email notification sound, the new email does not appear in Full!screen's notification bar. This makes the Full!screen's bar completely unusable for me.

[Android Apps and Games] Sparkimus:
I'm really liking this app! I purchased the plus version within a few hours of playing with the free version. One feature I would like to see is the ability to activate the pie by swiping up from the bottom of the screen like LMT launcher. That way the buttons aren't obstructing anything on the screen and it is a bit easier to trigger.

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

I'm not sure if you've covered this in later versions, but is this still your road map?

If you can get the corner buttons active at the same time as the notification bar, then your app can reach out and cover the markets for button replacements especially replacement of physical buttons.

I understand if it's considerably difficult to make such a change. I for one will appreciate it very much!

[Android Apps and Games] alunral:
I found this app a little while ago, and I was wondering if you had any plans on adding a Do Not Hide Notification Bar for 4.2.2 ROMs, as your notification feature simply does not work properly. Specifically in my case, it does not show what pinned notifications of certain apps that are running. It also does not show my tablet's keyboard's battery(Asus TF101 keyboard dock). I'd also like to know why your app doesn't show the usual "Recent Apps" screen, with screenshots of each thing.

I suppose this could be easily solved by just using a soft-key app that works like your two soft buttons, but the thing is, I really like how you do yours. And I've not found another one.

Also a random note, it is possibly to disable only one of the bars on Phablet mode. Or at least, my EOS rom is able to do it just fine
[Android Apps and Games] housered:
Im also looking another onscreen button solution thats similar to full!screen but doesnt take away the notification bar. So far Ive found one in playstore. Its called Frontmost. Seems like a well made app and fit my needs perfectly except that i cant get some functions to work on my phone. Too bad.

[Android Apps and Games] Arcano:
¿What is it I am missing?. You asked for the option of NOT hiding the status bar, which has been asked before, and Tsorn has explained that it's either all or nothing, as both navigation buttons and notifications are handled by the same process.

This is also on my ToDo list .. unfortunately this requires substantial changes within sources, so it will take quite some time...
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
I thought I solved it...

I get similar reports from very few users by mail. Most of them use Nexus devices.

On unchanged Andoid default wallpaper gets restored when enabling fullscreen mode at least twice within 10 seconds. System assumes serious problems with wallpaper when it gets reset to fast... Restoring default wallpaper in this situation prevents the device from running into a crash-and-restart-loop which might be caused by bugs within live wallpapers.

Full!screen covers this 10-second time-frame. On some devices this time-frame might have been changed though... I think I need to get the Android sources for Nexus ... to investigate... :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
full!screen used the sound which is configured within each notification to announce it. ... no notifications -> no sound

I am not sure, why there are no notifications available on your device. Please try to disable and reenable the accessibility service, also please try to update your root-Management-app. I suggest to use "SuperSu" or "Superuser by ClockWorkMod" (Superuser by ChainsDD seems have some problems on some JB+ devices).

If this doesn't help, please (if you are familiar with adb) open full!screen, run following adb commands:

adb logcat -c -b events

adb logcat -b events

and check/uncheck "show notification"-checkbox within full!screen twice and post the output of logcat.

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

Wonderful app needs more good reviews
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
I've noticed this too, though its a very short delay on my device. This can be seen with any similar app, like LMT and button saviour. It's caused by the way those apps need to "inject" the simulated back-button-press. I am thinking to speed this up a little by using native code somewhen... since it's only a very minor issue this task has no priority.
[Android Apps and Games] Tsorn:
Disabling systembar using full!screen works a little different than just hiding the bar by using some feature within custom Rom. To hide the bar also on devices which lack this feature (99% of all devices with standard Android) full!screen disables the process which controls the bars. This obviously disables all related features (notifications- and recent-apps-panel, top notifications bar, some extra manufacturer-specific features...). Thats why I had to reimplement those features...

Edit: some features are not possible at all for user apps, like this "screenshots of each thing" or "swipe-to-kill"... Androids security-system, you know... :(
