[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] parisien99:
Hello.

Since a long time i have a big issue with my rooted s8+.

When i want to long press (tap and hold) on my screen to select a text, sometime it works sometime it doesn't work (it do like i pressed the screen and releases it immediately when it does not work as short press).

Until a few days ago i thought it was a random problem.

But i discovered a few days ago that this problem happens ALL THE TIME when i need to long press on the center of the screen and NEVER HAPPENS when i long press on the top or bottom of the screen.

Now when i want to select a text in the center of the screen, i just have to scroll the text up or down and then the long press works.

Does anybody have the same issue on his s8+?

Is there an app to definitly check this issue that happens only on long press and never on short press ?

How can i fix it?

Thank you for your help

(sorry my english is very bad i hope you have understood my question)

Open up your phone app as if you're going to call someone and dial *#0*#

(Star pound zero star pound)

This will get you into maintenance mode where you can trouble shoot many things. Tap on "touch" and drag finger all over the boxes on the screen in the shape of a rectangle with an X through it. This will allow u to see how your phone is responding to touch. Hope this gives u an idea as to where or if the issue is occurring. If not at least it's a pointer for phone issue trouble shooting.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] parisien99:
Thank you for your answer.

I tried that and everything is ok on the touch test.

But after this test i just tried to select something on this page and i have the same issue. When i want to select in the center of the screen the tap and hold is not working.

I scroll a little the page and it is working.

It seem it just don't detect that i hold my finger. But detect normally when i just press with my finger.

I think i should send my phone to Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] parisien99:
I just tried with the page i put a screenshot in attachment to this post.

When i try a tap and hold (i tried several times) on the line "i scroll a little the page..." it does not work ( it just select the word on which i have put my finger but i can not extend the selection and i don't have the icon with copy past etc)

But when i tap and hold on the line starting by "of the screen the tap...." and the line starting with "it seem i just don't detect..." everything is normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Here's your troubleshooting steps. Try them each one at a time. If #1 doesn't work, then move on to #2, etc, until it's fixed.

1. Reboot phone

2. Clear cache in recovery

3. Start in Safe Mode

4. Factory Reset

5. Reflash stock, factory firmware with ODIN

If none of those fix the issue, then you will need to reach out to Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] parisien99:
Thank you

I think most that it would be a hardware problem

But as my phone is rooted i will do all that before sending to samsung as i must install a stock rom before sending to Samsung.

But most of all i wanted to know if other people had also this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
The steps I gave you actually eliminate it being a software problem, so it narrows it down to hardware.

Let us know if you're able to fix it, or have to send it to Samsung fie repair.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] parisien99:
Than you

I will do that in a few days.

But i just thinked about something.

I just updated my samsung firmware on dec 28. And i had this issue before the update.

When updating, for the root, i installed twrp and have done a complete wipe on twrp before installing magisk. (i still didn't find no way to root without wiping, if there is a way please tell me)

I think i have passed all these steps when i have done the update/root process. Am i right?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
I honestly don't know. I don't root. So I don't know the steps. Try them anyway, and if you end up having to do a factory reset, don't restore anything. Start completely fresh.

And installing STOCK UNROOTED firmware with ODIN will eliminate any issues associated with root.
[Xposed Framework Modules] guangyu.zhou:
Thanks to tkgktyk!

The original thread for the mod is here. It stop working since Nougat. I forked the source code sharing by tkgktyk and updated to make it compatible with Nougat.

You can use it as before now.

Most of the functionalities, including slide down, small screen, moveable screen and etc., works. However, the status bar still doesn't work now. I will continue working on it.

Xposed Repo

I have created a new module in Xposed repo for future development. And I will stop releasing apk file in my dropbox. Please use your Xposed Installer to install/update the module.

My repo is here: Niwatori Nougat.

Welcom pull request!

Finally, I decided to publish it in Google Play Store and let more people can share my effort. If you like it, please rate there. The link is:

Niwatori -One Handed Mode - Reborn

Let me know you have any issues or anything I can help :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] aillez:
Thank you for uploading this but I got a question.

I've uploaded your APK to check with VirusTotal and here is the result.

https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/6...9a37df388f6baaa1332f0576bd92a66315fde/details

View attachment 4383091

It's detected as a virus from 1 vendor. (Which is not happen with the official APK)

and secondly, I try to install but shown as package corrupt (re-downloaded still happen)

View attachment 4383092

Hope you can fix this problem.

Best Regards,
[Xposed Framework Modules] guangyu.zhou:
Oh, really.

Android studio prompted me to sign the app

So I generate my own signature to sign it using Android studio.

Maybe I can share the unsigned app file. Thanks for reporting.

I will let you know, when I update the file.
[Xposed Framework Modules] guangyu.zhou:
I can reproduce your issue now. The root cause is I didn't sign the app correctly. In the next release, I will fix this issue and also bring back the status bar feature. Stay tune.
[Xposed Framework Modules] aillez:
Sound great :good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] aillez:
Just seen you updated in OP and try to download, VirusTotal Scan, Install, Testing.

View attachment 4386781

VirusScan still show as Trojan (I'm not sure it's a false positive or not)

but this time I can install. Enable module > Reboot.

and yeah ! it's working.

Thank you for your work. I usually using this mod until original dev is not updated anymore and LineageOS has this feature on the ROM itself.

but now I'm using OxygenOS and it doesn't have a one-handed mode.

THIS MODULE IS A MUST FOR ME :)

:good::good::good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] Gwomm:
Damn, I really hope I can somehow get it working, since it really is kind of a keep or sell decision for me because of this.

I'm also using OxygenOS on a OnePlus 5T, but I get a "Can't open file!" error after downloading.

I tried forcing it with some apk installer app and it installs, but I can't actually toggle the mode in any way.

Any ideas? Am I missing something? Any logs I could provide?

I just installed the newest Xposed and Gravitybox works so it shouldn't be an Xposed issue.

"One-Handed Mode for all devices" somewhat works but its kinda buggy while the xda one handed mode is completely unusable :crying:

I really hope someone here will be able to help me out.
[Xposed Framework Modules] aillez:
Hi,

I'm using Oneplus 5T with stock rom 4.7.6 + Xposed systemless v 89

It's working great.

Do you re-download from OPupdated link?

But it's kinda buggy for some apps like contact, phone, XDA labs. (See screenshot)

I'm happy to help you if you still can't make It work.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Danny.vdk:
Hey,

thanks a lot for your work, I was desperately looking for something like that for my OnePlus 5T which is lacking a one handed mode. I experience the same graphical issues with telefon/contacts App which are not that bad - what I don't like though is that the one handed mode doesn't work in Chrome at all. Anyone got an idea why or gets the same?

I tried to use Slide down as well as Small Screen but in Chrome just nothing happens.

Also I can't attach it to the Home Button because it seems to interferes with other functions (in apps) - with the "last Apps"-Button it works well so I'm using this one atm!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Gwomm:
Thanks for the reply!

I'm also on 4.7.6 but the Magisk Xposed module didn't work for me, the Xposed installer told me there was no framework installed so had to flash the zip manually.

And yes, I redownloaded the File from the OP several times, still can't open it.

But since it seems to be buggy anyway I guess I'm just gonna wait a bit longer before making my final decision and see if someone finds a fix, but I don't have high hopes anymore at this point :(
[Xposed Framework Modules] guangyu.zhou:
I agree with the XDA one handed mode. It's not that usable. So I get back toNiwatori as soon as Exposed works on Nougat.

I assume there should not be install issue with my updated link. Could you share me the information of the file you downloaded?
[Xposed Framework Modules] guangyu.zhou:
For the graphical issue, tkgktyk has solution in the original project. But he didn't enable it as default. I will work on it when I find some time. Actually, it's not a real issue. It doesn't stop you using anything, isn't it:laugh:

By the way, you can call me Ben. I guess OP is my phone's brand, OnePlus. I don't know why XDA put OP there. I would like to have a signature here, but I don't know how to. I'm a XDA fan for quite some time. But only start posting recently.
[Xposed Framework Modules] aillez:
It looks like you use installer that not support systemless Xposed.

You can try to use Xposed Installer by dvdandroid

View attachment 4389646

and download systemless by topjohnwu (Magisk's Dev)

View attachment 4389645

Now It should work.

Yes Ben, it's just a minor bug that I want to report but I still using it anyway since it's not the real issue :)

and again, Thanks for making this module alive again.

:good::good::good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] Gwomm:
Yea, that's probably it. I haven't really done much with all the "new" systemless stuff, since the ROM on my old phone basically gives me everything I need out of the box. Gonna try that on the weekend. :good:

OP just means Original Poster, so basically the guy who made the thread, which is you. It's just meant to make it easier to refer to your post without looking up or copying the name all the time. I can still call you Ben if you want though :p

I just clicked the dropbox download link in the first post, and according to the age shown on dropbox it should be the updated one...

What kind of information do you need? I can look it up in a few hours since I don't have access to the phone atm.

Although I kinda assume it probably has something to do with my stock ROM being broken somewhere, so I'm gonna reflash stock and try again this weekend.
[Xposed Framework Modules] guangyu.zhou:
Hi

How are you doing with Niwatori? I don't have more idea on your issue. I'm not so familiar with the systemless stuff. Maybe you can benefit from allies suggestion. Good luck to you.
[Xposed Framework Modules] guangyu.zhou:
Yeah, home button is tricky with finger print function. I'm using pie control from gravity box.

For the chrome issue, I don't have in my room. Chrome works pretty well. You my try the latest version to see if it works on your side.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Gwomm:
Thanks, I haven't had the time to actually reinstall and retry everything, too busy with exams atm, I'm going to report back as soon as thats over :good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] aillez:
New version (0.5.0) seem to cause this issue.

My background turn to white when disable modulemy background revert to old one.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mms047:
so this don support oreo yet?
[Xposed Framework Modules] guangyu.zhou:
No, not yet. Xposed module doesn't release the stable version. I don't move to it. So maybe later.
[Xposed Framework Modules] guangyu.zhou:
Thanks for testing it. Would you let me know:

1. Which ROM are you on

2. Which launcher are you using?

3. Does it happen on all your apps or just on your launcher?

It's interesting I don't see it on my ROM.
[Xposed Framework Modules] aillez:
Hi dev,

1. OxygenOS 4.7.6 For Oneplus 5t

2. Nova launcher prime.

3. Background in homescreen only.
[Xposed Framework Modules] guangyu.zhou:
Yeah. I can reproduce it with Nova. Let me fix it.
[Xposed Framework Modules] MishaalRahman:
Ping me when you get this working on Oreo if you want this covered on XDA ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] aillez:
Just want to report.

New version is working great.

No white background color in Nova launcher.

Animation faster than before.

Keep It up dev :good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] guangyu.zhou:
Thanks for testing.

Because of the strict security strategy inNougat, I still have some issue in reading shared preference in some situation. Just in case you find your settings doesn't work well, you can just open up Niwatori to work around it.No need to change anything. Just open and close.
[Xposed Framework Modules] godrick15:
Can this work for individual apps?

I just need one handed mode for gboard on my tablet
[Xposed Framework Modules] aillez:
As far as I know/test keyboard can't be resize.

Edit:

For gboard you can enable one handed mode In the app Itself.

Link: https://www.howtogeek.com/253432/how-to-enable-one-handed-mode-in-androids-google-keyboard/
[Xposed Framework Modules] godrick15:
thanks, but doesn't work on tablets
[Xposed Framework Modules] guangyu.zhou:
Hi,

Aillez is correct. The module generator tgktkyk once supported flying IME panel. However, he decided to disable it one day, because most of the IME app's have their own one handed mode (although that's not that useful than Niwatori). I agree with tgktkyk, we don't need double effort to invent another one handed mode for the IME app's. And this will simplify Niwatori and make us focus on the core functionalities. For the one handed mode on tablet, I think even with Niwatori, you still won't get an easy one handed action, isn't it. A normal tablet is 7 inch or even bigger. It's too heavy most of time to hold it in one hand. Don't even say operate it in one hand. That's my own experience. I may not be that interested in enabling it to work well on tablet. Big smart phone is my first priority.
[Xposed Framework Modules] godrick15:
thanks. i will have to look elsewhere.

I'm running a 12.2 inch tablet in landscape Currently, I use chrooma. one handed, and resized it to match my note 3. I'd like to think of it as a floating window.

For me, swyping is faster than typing. Can't do it as efficiently with tablet gboard bc of its size.
[Xposed Framework Modules] aillez:
May I suggest keyboard app for you?

It's name is T-Swipe pro. I use it since my first android device.

It's have swipe feature, floating windows and customization.

Like this (See screenshot).
[Xposed Framework Modules] bonotheedge:
Hello, I can't see where is the downloading link for this module. Any idea? Thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] aillez:
In Xposed repo.
[Xposed Framework Modules] aillez:
Hi Dev [MENTION=8206730]guangyu.zhou[/MENTION] ,

It's me again.

I just want to report that this module works in Oreo :D

Update to Oreo today and flash Xposed beta 3.

Tested on Oneplus 5T: OxygenOS 5.0.2 | Android 8.0

:good::good::good::good::good::good::good:

Hi [MENTION=7050182]MishaalRahman[/MENTION],

I already tested in Oreo and works fine. I think we should spread the word in XDA portal :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] guangyu.zhou:
That's really a good news!!! Cheers!!!
[Xposed Framework Modules] daddylonglegs:
I must be some kind of moron. How do I activate one handed mode with this? It doesn't say it anywhere in the module, the OP, or in the app settings. ?

I know I can make a desktop shortcut but is that the only way?
[Xposed Framework Modules] aillez:
After a lot of testing.

Looks like It's not stable enough (I know you still on Nougat I'll wait for it) It don't trigger after sometime.

Maybe should debug furthur. If you want some log. Just ask me :)

Cheers.

---------- Post added at 06:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------

You can use any gesture app to trigger this by add shortcut.
[Xposed Framework Modules] xscapism:
Is there any way of installing this app through magisk? I can't have Xposed installed because I want to bypass safetynet.

Running android 7 btw, the shortcuts don't seem to be triggering at all. Am I doing something wrong?

Sorry if this is a dumb question lol
[Xposed Framework Modules] aillez:
No Xposed framework, this app will not do anything.
[Xposed Framework Modules] xscapism:
Oh, that's a shame.

Thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] guangyu.zhou:
I would recommend fooview. It's easy to use Niwatori with fooview gesture function.
[Xposed Framework Modules] guangyu.zhou:
Oh, a good news followed by a bad news. I don't have useful log in the release version.

How does the beta exposed framework? Is it stable enough for daily usage? I'm a little busy these days. I may have chance to look at the Oreo stuff after Chinese new year.
[Xposed Framework Modules] guangyu.zhou:
I'm new to magisk, but I don't see any conflict of using both frameworks. I'm using magisk to replace original su. And xposed is also a must have to me. I use them 2 without issues. Hope this can help you out.

To make Niwatori work , you have to make sure you have xposed framework flashed, the module installed and enabled, then you need at least a soft reset after those steps.
[Xposed Framework Modules] aillez:
For me, it's pretty stable. No FC Apps, Modules I use are work fine.

but not worry I'll wait until then. Happy Chinese New Year :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] xscapism:
From experience, I'm pretty sure having Xposed installed, even through the magisk Xposed module, results in a safetynet trigger.

If I'm mistaken, by all means enlighten me but that's the conclusion I came to
[Xposed Framework Modules] Lynxtickler:
I cannot get quick settings shortcut to work on Oneplus 3 OxygenOS 4.5.1 and systemless xposed 89.2, but Gravitybox method does work. It's super slow to use Tasker to first expand quick settings and then niwatori to make it one-handed, so I was wondering if you'd have some time to look into it? I'm using snall screen as the extra action if that's relevant.
[Xposed Framework Modules] guangyu.zhou:
I don't use the extra action with opening quick settings that much. I tested it when I firstly bring up Niwatori on my Freedom OS 3.1. That is also based on Oxygen Os 4.5. From my experience, opening quick settings feature works very differently on different ROM's. I would suggest you to use a shortcut app (ex. fooview or Gravity Box) to open quick settings then use Niwatori shortcut to deal with the UI.

Otherwise you may need to wait for my free time to work on it. My next priority will be Oreo support.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Gwomm:
Finally got it working...somewhat

Alright, since my exams etc. are finally done I decided to try to get the one handed mode to work again.

I updated to Oreo and while it seems to finally work overall anyway, I have two issues:

The first is with the Discord app, which is pretty much the main app I need Niwatori for. Just like with several other apps the border around the scaled screen is kinda glitchy, except on Discord the screen even begins to flicker around the edges which is incredibly distracting. I think you were talking about having an idea on how to fix that a few weeks ago already? Would be really nice if you can find a way! :good:

Maybe you could just add a very thick border around the shrunk screen so it gets hidden behind that?

The other option is the "Another resize mode" option in the Settings. This would actually work even better in my case because the font size etc. stays the same and there are no glitches, BUT I cant use it while typing at all since it resets to normal as soon as i open the keyboard. If i put both the keyboard and Discord in the alternative resizing mode it just defaults to normal resizing. Any ideas? I'm using Gboard by the way.

Screenshot examples for both: https://imgur.com/a/1cIQt

First is the one that doesn't work with keyboard, second is the one that flickers.

Also, is there a way to scale the display in x and y direction instead of just % with the same aspect ratio?

Lots of questions, I hope someone will be able to help me out with at least some of them. Maybe I can work around some of them with Tasker scripts, in case I manage to do so I will keep you guys updated.

Thanks a lot for all the awesome work so far!
[Xposed Framework Modules] guangyu.zhou:
Thanks for reporting! Would you mind to log an issue in GitHub issues page? That will be easy for tracking

The link is in the first post.

For your issue in Discord, I can reproduce. The fix has already been integrated quite some time ago, so you don't see it in most apps. I also see it in other special cases. But it's no easily reproducible. Discord brings a 100% reproducible way. I'll work on it after the Oreo effort.
[Xposed Framework Modules] lukchiuwing:
Hi Dev,

I am using your module in custom ROM (7.1.2) on Lenovo P2. I can only find and assign one-hand mode to the soft key / pie which is working as advertised. However, the movable and slide down do not work even if I force assign them (fooview / LMT).

Any idea why?
[Xposed Framework Modules] guangyu.zhou:
That's really interesting. Would you mind pasting some logs here? You can find it in your xposed installer logs tab.
[Xposed Framework Modules] oroboros74:
Does this work on Oreo?
[Xposed Framework Modules] aillez:
I use in with Oreo and working fine for sometime.
[Xposed Framework Modules] oroboros74:
Windowed mode seems to not work on mine.
[Xposed Framework Modules] aillez:
Normally I use only small screen mode.
[Xposed Framework Modules] guangyu.zhou:
I compiled with Oreo support and make it work with the new broadcast strategy. Try it and let me know any issues. Make sure you reboot after installation rather than only soft reboot
[Xposed Framework Modules] guangyu.zhou:
Try 0.5.3. It works quite stable for me.
[Xposed Framework Modules] oroboros74:
Xposed Repo set to experimental shows 0.5.2 as last update. Where's that version?

Edit: ok it took some time but I found it on repo. Stupid question : tried looking at premium, but Google play gives error. What am I doing wrong?

Any chance to get the swiping from home to menu and from home to back to launch small screen, like in Miui?
[Xposed Framework Modules] guangyu.zhou:
I'm not sure where you are at with Niwatori. If this is the first time you touch it, you'd better go through the original post of the original module created by tgktkyk. Shortly speaking, you can use Niwatori with some app that can invoke other apps shortcut. For example, gravity box and fooview.

I don't put Google play edition for the reborn module, because I don't have a developer account, and I don't have plan to pay the $25 registration fee. Further more, I don't lock any premium feature, I think you can use anything in the module downloaded from xposed repo.
[Xposed Framework Modules] aillez:
Thanks for your update.

Now, It's working great.

Swap action used to need to hit like 2-3 Times before, it's start to swap.

But new version, just a single hit it's start to swap.

Great work as always.
[Xposed Framework Modules] oroboros74:
Thanks for all that! Do you know of any way to invoke one handed mode using the navigation bar like in Miui? It's a little more complex than a simple key press.
[Xposed Framework Modules] guangyu.zhou:
Have you ever tried Gravity Box? It can hack the navigation bar and assign different functions to the virtual buttons.
[Xposed Framework Modules] oroboros74:
Sure, but what I'm talking about is a little different, watch how it's activated on Miui (which is what I meant by swiping over the navbar) : [youtube]X875QmaD8kE[/youtube]?t=12
