[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
It is there. You can do this in 'Navigation' option. Select 'NONE (PRO)'. You can also assign toggle soft keys shortcut to custom gesture.

So it displayed the warning and it still hide soft keys or it does not hide it when displaying warning, but hide when toggled next time (without warning)?

I will fix settings problem.

I have a few solutions in mind with buttons:

1) You can already resize bar and it resizes buttons, but I will add separate slider just for buttons size too.

2) I will add option to add/remove/reorder buttons. Basically there will be 5 slots (like you see now) and you can put any buttons to these slots.

Maybe you have Google Now option OFF? If you turn it on, each soft key will have corresponding "ring" button, that appears if you hold soft key:

Home -> Google Now

Back -> Previous (toggle between last 2 apps)

Recent apps -> Sweep (close all apps and clear recent apps list)

And I plan to add 'Screen Off' ring to Menu soft key. I don't have screenshot at the moment, maybe someone else can attach it :o.

So its ok to close all apps?

I want to support more devices, but I need additional info.

1) What Android version are you using?

2) Is it possible to hide soft keys by modifying build.props file on your device? While my app does not modify the file it still needs that hardware keys support is not stripped from firmware.
[Android Apps and Games] dakunesu:
Yup. The only thing that doesn't seem to work about it is the recents showing the apps. But the purpose of recents in this manor can be left to choice.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
You mean apps are not removed from Recent Apps list? There are a few items that I cannot remove, like Setting screen, task manager, ringer and similar. Also it seems I cannot remove apps without history. But it should remove all regular apps.

Another thing - if you are already in recent apps list, Sweep will not refresh the list.

Maybe renaming button to 'Close All' makes more sense.
[Android Apps and Games] dakunesu:
In short, my resting process is to start a few apps, both system and user apps, check the recents, close recents, sweep, then check again.

I'm I correct in assuming that you are attempting to modify the recents list?
[Android Apps and Games] tom282f3:
Wats your launcher??? :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Yes, Sweep is supposed to close all apps and clear recent apps list (same as swiping away apps in recent apps list), except for a few items I mentioned before that I cannot access.

It works on stock SGS2 and Nexus7. Now I don't understand if it is working for anyone else :o.
[Android Apps and Games] krasnoff:
I saw this warning once after the update, and once when re-entering the settings. More repeat failed.

But the program works fine, the message of incompatibility does not affect its functionality.
[Android Apps and Games] fer2503:
When it stays on screen work only Google Now button and i have to touch other display position to hide the bar
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Just to confirm - only Google Now stays on screen and Bar is hidden. When you click on Google Now button it disappears too?
[Android Apps and Games] mishko:
Thanks man! I had it turned off. Maybe rename "Sweep" to "close all" or something similar (as mentioned before in the thread)?

Excellent app by the way!

google now stays on screen and the bar too, but i can't click on the bar. when i click on google now button this and the bar disappears too

Ring not working? Left/Right aligned buttons?

Great app, works like a charm (the soft key hiding part).

One question. I'm on KitKat 4.4.2 on a Nexus 7 2013. The ring feature doesn't seem to work. Is that normal or a known bug? Pressing and holding does nothing (that's what the ring is right?)

Also, one request, would love to be able to have buttons right (and left too I guess) aligned rather than centered. On a big tablet while holding it with one hand, buttons on the side could be hard to reach.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] 1BadWolf:
When running the app, SystemUI crashes, lock screen comes up and wallpaper resets to default. Functions normally otherwise. Using pro version with Kit Kat Liquid Smooth milestone on Nexus 4. Log attached.
[Android Apps and Games] 1BadWolf:
Press and lift to see the rings.
[Android Apps and Games] pigeon:
Tried that, that doesn't work either. I also tried resetting the settings and it is still the same.

Thoughts anyone?
[Android Apps and Games] 1BadWolf:
Unfortunately, no as it is working for me.
[Android Apps and Games] pigeon:
Thanks for the sanity check, so it's just me. After a bit of testing, I found that XPrivacy is applying some default settings to it and is blocking the ring feature. Didn't check which specific permission it is blocking though.

Anyway, problem solved, thanks for all the help. Hope this helps anyone else having this problem.

All issues from beta2 should be fixed now.
[Android Apps and Games] wihushae:
Hi! I have downloaded this 2.10 beta3 from playstore, and the bug with the missing menue key in Chrome is fixed -as promised -.

But the Keyboard in landscape mode doesn't reaches the right side as in the previous version which makes big problems while writing (Keys are smaller and Not on the position where they used to be).

Im on a Sony zr with stock 4.4.4.

Can You fix this please?

Today i tried to use this theme: "Theme eXPERIAnZ - Winter"

Now ahsk is not really useable and i get forced closes in the app.

[Android Apps and Games] reformedheretic:
Hi there, first of all, thanks heaps for the app. Has been brilliant up until about 20 minutes ago...

I just installed a new rom, lollipop based (http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/development/rom-resurrectionremix-lpalpha-t2969200) and now ahsk doesn't want to work at all for me. It doesn't force close, but when I activate it all I get is the red line above my nav bar but the nav bar is still there. I'm a complete noob with most of this but if you let me know what info you need I can post it. And if this is a common issue and I've missed it when browsing the thread I'm really sorry. Thanks.

Hi, I have lg g2 mini android 4.4.2 and navbar is working perfect when i HAVE Spoof Soft Keys CHECKED but then keyboard is small than it should be. On other hand if i uncked Spoof Soft Keys then i can't run Messaging, Calendar, Contacts, Gallery ect. and there is message on screen like "Unfortunately, Calendar has stopped"; "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped".

Any solutions?
[Android Apps and Games] iamhcg:
Hi

The updated version still breaks the screen-side-sliding function of Moon reader, mx play. etc.

I think it might be because the system put the AUTOHIDE softkey in the front. Therefore when I slide the side of screen to control functions like brightness control or volume control within the apps, the system put Autohide in the front which makes the moon reader's function not working.

I remember everything worked well in Autohide Ver. 1.8. The 1.x version woulndn't steal the functions from other app away.

Is it possible to fix this bug in the future? thanks.

MX player brightness control not working.*Latest version caused the MX Player brightness gesture control not to working in LG G2. Will be great if it is solve.

[MENTION=4147454]StupidIdea[/MENTION] I'd like to report a bug (maybe) on HTC One M8 and an annoyance.

1) If one wanted to use this app only to add transparency to the soft keys' bar, on HTC M8's home screen the bottom shortcuts are covered by the soft keys and it is not possible to access them or the app drawer.

2) The "Touch" trigger mode can act as swipe and the "Swipe" trigger mode adds more steps to the process. When I have the "Touch" trigger mode selected, I can swipe from the bottom of the screen and release to instantly press the key I want. Also I can tap the red bar and then tap the key I want. But when I have "Swipe" selected, I have to swipe beyond the height of the soft keys' bar then drag to the key and release. I expected the "Swipe" option to act like the "Touch" option but disable the "touch to show" functionality of the soft keys bar to prevent taps close to the bottom causing the soft keys to show.

[Android Apps and Games] no8body:
Brightness works now. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Now some users complain that trigger in new version is "less sensitive" and it is more difficult to show QuickBar. Why I still don't know why but it may be related to the change I did to fix brightness conflict.

Please let me know if anyone is experiencing this issue and could test some test versions.
[Android Apps and Games] no8body:
Seems the same to me. Though now there is always the three dot menu on the right that wasn't always there before.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
It looks like it happens only on LG G2. I will revert settings for this device.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Uploaded version 3.1-beta1 on xda. I reverted brightness fix and this version is intended just to LG devices to test that it solves trigger issue. I will add an option in final release if its confirmed. Unfortunately I could not find a middle ground: if I increase trigger priority then brightness in video does not work but when I reduce it default LG google now gesture is conflicting with ahsk trigger.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Uploaded 3.1-beta3.

As suspected trigger problem on LG devices was related to trigger priority. LG implemented google now swipe from top differently than aosp and it is not tied to navigation bar but works even when navigation bar is removed. So it conflicts with ahsk trigger unless I increase trigger priority. But trigger with hight priority disables video brightness adjustment.

Beta 3 just have hight priority trigger but I will add option to switch to low priority before releasing production update. However trigger will be in high priority by default.
[Android Apps and Games] m00h:
Ok, the trigger finally works again with the beta 3.1 on my G2. Can't use my phone anymore with the softkeys alway being on my screen, feels like it is a waste of space and I always close any app if I'm tipping, because I always hit the home button. Thanx for the update.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
AHSK 3.1-release:

- Fixed trigger issue on LG devices

- Added trigger 'high priority' option - uncheck if it causes problems with brightness not working in video apps.

- Added Lollipop (Big) theme.

- Added Volume action

- Added 'Close' button to help screen.

Still buggy on android 5.1 + Cataclysm ROM

I have tried it on a non stock android 4.3 ROM (Cataclysm), but had crashes of SystemUI upon power on screen and wallpaper resets .

After a couple of years, I tried latest version (v. 3.1), on a non stock android 5.1 ROM ( again Cataclysm ROM).

The same old situation with crashing SystemUI and loosing wallpaper settings, happened again!

Kind of interesting

I had it installed on my nexus 5 android phone and played with it for a while. It's a nice app to have and sometimes it eases up the life in the particular games. However, the GMD's gesture may not respond in some games/apps which have the same gesture to make in order to do something in there. On the other hand, it seems to be running normal.

Tablet UI

Hello. I'm running an older PA rom on my Note II, and using the Theme Engine to force display in Tablet UI.

It's great, but I do not need the 3 soft keys on the bottom next to the notification bar since I already have physical keys and PIE. This just crams everything in at the bottom.

Is there any chance that your app will add support for Tablet UI, so that we can hide those pesky soft keys and make more room for the notification panel? Otherwise, this app won't really do anything for me. Thanks for all your hard work.
[Android Apps and Games] procter:
I'm looking at GMD hide soft keys and GMD immersive, both Pro version. I have a rooted lollipop stock LG G2, and my needs are simple, being able to hide the nav bar when uising gps apps, such as igo and waze. I don't find the nav bar annoying at other cases, but it messed with some of the screen resolution scripts in igo skins. Anyways, which app should I choose? I like the immersive's per app setting, just don't know if hide soft keys app can do the same. First post sounds like GMD hide soft keys is more advanced because of the root requirement, but I honestly did not find the "per app setting" in hide soft keys though. Or can you guys recommend other free alternative to automatically hide nav bar for igo/waze? Thanks a lot.

This is the second time I report this issue and hope OP will actually answer. I'm running CM 13 (thiss issue occurred also in old cm versions) on my HTC One m8. Recent button is misbehaving: when pressed, the app I'm using doesn't appear in recent list or shows at the top and if I try to open it from there, it just says "unable to open the app". This is really annoying me now, especially because I paid for the pro version and because OP doesn't care that much apparently. If anyone else wants to share any suggestions on how to fix this, you'll be more than welcome.

Reporting here that I'm for 99% convinced GMD AHSK (latest) causes SystemUI crashes (which for some reason causes a complete reboot as well, but that's device/ROM/kernel-related) on the Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet WiFi (SGP712, karin_windy), Android 5.0.2 stock rooted.

Love the idea of this app and it does work on my HTC One. However, it does crash the system UI. This usually gets restarted, so not too much of an issue, but it is a bit of an annoyance. It happens with both 0.9.5 (play store) and the 0.9.6dev2 version. If you can get this sorted, I'll definitely get the pro version.

When System UI crashes it removes the top status bar and sometimes it removes the background. But when it gets restarted both are back and app is working great :)

[Android Apps and Games] skttrbrain:
Hi StupidIdea. Firstly, I love the app. I bought the pro version.

My question - Tablet UI isn't supported, but will it ever be? Your app is literally the only thing that keeps me from switching over to it on my Nexus 7. Just curious. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] dakunesu:
you might want to clarify if you mean tablet ui as in the system already being that, or wanting hsk to behave in the same fashion.

I personally use hsk and it had no issues minus being unable to unhide the status bar(which doesnt exist really)
[Android Apps and Games] skttrbrain:
Oh, okay. Well if you enable Tablet UI in an AOKP-based ROM, it creates the nav bar & status bar hybrid at the bottom, which as StupidIdea states in the original page will NOT be hidden by AutoHide Soft Keys.

HSK works perfectly fine for me on Phone UI, but not on Tablet UI - but that's not a complaint as it's not something that is defined as supported. I was just curious if similar support for the Tablet UI's bottom bar ever would be supported, especially as I can see it becoming more and more requested in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Uploaded to Play Store and XDA:

- Fixed: hide Quick NavBar on screen off.

Should be fixed.
