Swipepad: how to make it work - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I find swipepad amazing, but it fails to turn up some of the times upon swiping. I tried placing the zone at bottom (so as to avoid conflict with phone's other swipes) but still occasionally the pad doesn't turn up at all.
Wrote to dev, and was told that the app has to be made to work on large screens (I'm using galaxy note). But no actions upon it by dev. I purchased all associated apps but all waste.
Does anyone know how to make the app work RELIABLY?

It works great for me with galaxy note at the default dpi. Never failed.
However if u change the dpi from 320 to lower values it does not always invoke the app. The reason is that the zone becomes smaller with smaller dpi
Do you use a lower dpi?
I did mail the dev about giving an option to let the user decide the size of the zone but no reply
Also enable the option to have it running in the taskbar. This prevents the system from killing it. ( i have never had to do it as killing by system never happened in my usage. )
I also found that having lower rt and lt coners invoke the app the best.

Didn't change dpi.
When you say lt and rt what does it mean?

Ok, you mean left and right. Got it.
I think it fails to invoke at times as Android functions and various apps functions too work with the same swipe actions.
Bottom zones are more reliable for the same reason, there are a few times when there is a meaning to up swipe in Android or apps. (scroll up us not an option at times, as in home screen or in dialer)
Bottom left and right zone means you are making a diagonal swipe, which again is not very common in Android or apps as an action.
I'm just guessing with these explanations here. I'm rather confused by dev's response that there needs to be some work done regarding large screen devices.

i find it real annoying that almost half the time, there's a 1.5-2 second delay when i select an app. It'll say "Start [App]..."

Which device? Doesn't happen with me

The app is bugged and never updated. If you hide pads, they show up at random. Also the app needs customizations to select. The black plain background sucks imo and 1 default sound does too.
I bought all the add-ons for it and kinda regret it. They aren't worth the money and the app fails imo when compared to wave launcher.

Working perfectly on Desire HD running MIUI. Sometimes, the app got killed by the system, so I convert the app into system app in TB, and voila! The app is now invincible.
I've rarely seen the delay, because of the OC maybe?

Some basic phone questions.(X10 Noob)

My battery seems to fly out the door, how do you close down some of the running applications? I don't want to download a 3rd party app just to be able to close browser or mediascape X_X
EDIT: Also, I am trying to delete some apps with Titanium backup, do yall recommend deleting Google talk, Play Now, User Guide and Use Support? And finally there is a toolbar that has 4 pictures (one with a dot and signals going up, one for blue tooth, one with a satellite dish letting off a signal and one that controls the phone, what do the 1st and 3rd ones control? I have no manual with this phone.
Edit Edit: (Lol) How do you set .mp3's for ringtone and notifications(and while we are at it custom wallpaper), and is there anyway to change the unlock process of the phone?
Really, thanks to anyone who answers even one of my 50 questions.

3rd party
On the beginning of the thread you said you didn't want a 3rd party app to close tasks. However you should use something like "advanced task killer". If you open the app you get a list of running apps and you can unselect the ones you want to remain running.
Then you get a 1 click widget that remembers that (un)selection, leaving those apps running and stopping everything else. Very useful.
BTW check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=767849

EDIT: Just in case you don't read that thread through:
careful with LCD Density Changer you need ROOT with Superuser and busybox or your phone will brick
So better to stay away from that one.
Ya at the beginning I didn't want to use a 3rd party app to close tasks, it didn't make sense, now I can't get enough of ATK.
I have 2 new questions for everyone.
One how can I access the internal memory from my pc? And 2 how can I change the background color in menus like settings, messages etc. The blue background is super annoying.

I'm pretty sure this has been answered before but I cannot find it ANYWHERE (Redirect me if I'm wrong. I've played FPS games like NOVA and modern combat perfectly unrooted. Suddenly the controls stopped working (Multi touch issue I suppose). I have the phone rooted now and it still doesn't work.

This has been discuessed and seems to be a common problem on rooted phones. As soon as you go back to stock they start working again!! I'm rooted stock and have multitouch issues. My dad's amaze is complete stock locked and unrooted multitouch works perfectly. A developer should look into this.
As I've said, I've had the problem even before rooting my phone.

Gotta be the best first post in this forum.
As for the topic, XDA app and L/Nova Launcher.
I stream a lot of music and have the phone in my pocket. I was used to changing the track by holding volume key on my OnePlus. The G4 didn't allow this, so I found an app that works with Google Music player.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silentlexx.volbtntrackctrl&hl=en
It's double tap instead of long press. I guess we'll have to wait for root for long press. The only issue is the first tap raises the volume, but I can deal with that.
I like wave launcher give me access to 5 apps from any screen easily and fast

Yes, I must agree. Great browser and fast
I am using a tracking app named Best Cell Phone Tracking App . It is the a good app for tracking other devices. Like track fmaily, friends etc.
My favorite app is Swipe Navigation. It works excellent & fast with the LG G4 and gives me full-screen everywhere, a experience without soft-navigation buttons. I'm one of those who never really get along with the soft-nav buttons taking up alot of screen space.
Only problem is that root is needed... but its totally worth it. One of the great reasons to root!
Swipe Navigation: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.suphi.swipenavigation
Hey got a G4 myself recently, so the first thing i did is to make my app compatible with it, including DualView support
So if someone needs a more geeky app for using the IR-transmitter of the G4 instead of QuickRemote feel free to try my app Its mostly compatible to LIRC, has Database and can export IR codes
Since i saw that the G4 has a learning feature - I'm planning to add learning-feature as soon as i figure out how it works (If someone would like to help with this just drop a line ). For link see signature
My personal favourite is Camscanner. I did a small video on it to show how it works

5 days in and only one complaint

Have had the phone for 5 days now and love it,from the build and feel in hand to the software,came from a HTC which are quality built phones and this matches that and more .The FP scanner is a dream to use and the back is certainly the right place for it .My only complaint is that awful black controls bar at the bottom. Google make it transparent on the home screen and Google now ,yet even in there own apps like Gmail its still there,its present in 90% of my apps,that might be down to the app,but things like dolphin browser on full screen mode have it hidden away to pull up as needed.It looks so much better when not there and isn't taking up valuable screen space .Is there any reason why it can't be transparent in every app etc or at least move down when not in use.

Essentially gets rid of the navigation options at the bottom and instead you pull them up in the side only when necessary. You access them like the labs controls on the old aosp browser by running a finger on the side to cause then to pop out.
There are a few apps to do this - root not required.
Works on mm on the n5 (WHERE'S MY 6P GOOGLE!), as it's just a launcher should also work on the 6p
I plan on using LMT launcher. With root you should be able to run LMT and remove navigation bar as well
Wow I thought about this too with my 6P. When I was using my G3 prior I used Pie controls and removed the nav bar. Would love to use all of that 5.7" real estate the 6P has.
Stick this line at the bottom of your build.prop file in the system folder and nav bar is gone, "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1". Make sure you have pie already installed, I use pie control.

Thanks seems to work good,just have to remember to swipe up to get keyboard to show when required ,I wonder if there will be a fix for MM,or is it always like that.
Can't understand why Google would not have immersive as standard looks so much better
Lower the DPI in build.prop a bit and the nav bar will be smaller and you'll have more real estate on the screen.

★How To Get True Immersive Mode/Fullscreen/Expanded Desktop in ANY Rom★

Want true fullscreen in any 7.1.1 Nougat rom? Want to be able to get maximum viewing space on your 6p? I have a treat for you!
Although the 6p screen is very large, I'm a huge proponent of maximizing screen real estate.
I found this setup is awesome because it gives you so much more viewing screen for everyday use. For example, in Chrome, now you can see so much more of a web page and it makes your viewing space so much better:
1) All in One Gestures App: enable fullscreen (within the app to get true fullscreen/immersive mode. Expanded desktop rocks. Massively improved viewing space baby!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...gestures&hl=en
2) Download Swipe Navigation App: from playstore. This is AWESOME. Enables swipe gestures to navigate and swipe as opposed to having a physical navbar. This saves huge amounts of screen real estate. At the bottom of the screen, left swipe up is back, middle swipe up is home, and right swipe up becomes recents. (This is so cool).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...vigation&hl=en
3) In a build prop editing app (I recommend BuildProp Editor), paste this line and save:
qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1
(this removes the on-screen navigation bar, now you have awesomely improved screen real estate!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...p.editor&hl=en
Can you use the build prop edit to hide nav bar in 7.1.1 last I knew it wasn't possible.
Not sure where you heard that, because yes you certainly can!

it's possible to hide the navbar. it's not possible to change its height (through substratum). maybe that's what you heard
Hmm. Keyboard won't work when you enable immersive mode in All in One Gestures. Kind of a deal-breaker.
Edit: tried out Swipe Navigation and the build.prop edit. Works perfectly right now. I was a little worried after restarting the phone because the Swipe Navigation app didn't start right away (I couldn't back out of an application, lol). But it started up in less than a minute and everything is good. I'm going to use for a while and maybe buy the $1.50 add-on that unlocks custom actions.

Edit: tried out Swipe Navigation and the build.prop edit. Works perfectly right now. I was a little worried after restarting the phone because the Swipe Navigation app didn't start right away (I couldn't back out of an application, lol). But it started up in less than a minute and everything is good. I'm going to use for a while and maybe buy the $1.50 add-on that unlocks custom actions.

Please don't spread misinformation. The keyboard DOES certainly work when you enable immersive mode in All in One Gestures. Everything works perfectly. I've been running this setup for 3 weeks and it works like a dream. This isn't the crappy GMD fullscreen buggy app, lol.

Lol, misinformation? There's even a note in the app saying that it breaks keyboard functionality. So who knows what you're talking about...

Are you using kii keyboard alpha 2 or gboard? Or the crappy AOSP keyboard? Gboard and Kii both OWN the AOSP kboard. And they both work PERFECTLY in immersive mode. I can post screenshots to prove it.

1. I'm using Gboard. Most recent version.
2. That just fantastic that it's working perfectly for you. That doesn't mean it will work for everyone.
3. Screenshot of the app itself is attached. So it obviously isn't 100% functional.

I don't care what the app says. And this WILL work for EVERYBODY.
Here's a screenshot for gboard as well as Kii 2.

Oh my god... alright, whatever. Your logic is just flawless, I guess. You're right, it works for everyone - every, single person. Even me... somehow?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This app from the play store is the best that I have seen. Cost $1.99, I brought it with google play credits from the google surveys. It will give you the tiles in your toolbox and everything. You can hide the status bar, the nav bar, or both, plus alot extra. I use it. As long as your rooted there is no need to edit the build prop.

Easy there you get very defensive.
Rather then squabble with you, i think i discovered why it's not working for you.
Are you using superuser or supersu? I'm using the newest chainfire supersu SR3 beta. This might be your issue:
http://download.chainfire.eu/1021/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip
** IMPORTANT** Also, did you enable all permissions for the app?
As you can see from my screenshot, this is mine, works perfectly and IF you take the right steps i highly suspect it works for EVERYONE.

The reason why you need to edit the build prop, is because, if you want to use Swipe Gestures (the easiest and superior method for nav bar-less navigation imo) is because otherwise now you have two extra steps. You swipe up from bottom, and now you wait for the nav bar to 'come up'. You then hit the button you want. Takes time.
With my method, you instantly navigate with a gesture. One lightning fast action. That's why removing the nav bar in build prop is so important.
Also, the app you suggested costs money. Can be done better and at absolutely no cost.

Like I said earlier, I set my phone up just using the Swipe Navigation app and the build.prop edit. It's all working right now, so I don't really think that first app would add any benefit to me right now, even if it was working for me.

Could be nice to use. I have SuperSU Stable v2.79.
I just redownloaded the app and gave all permissions. Still no keyboard. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I clearly stated to download the beta that i posted. It's like three months ahead of the 'stable' SuperSU development cycle.
What rom are you using? I'm using uberstock.
I flashed two other roms, and I was able to get the keyboard working in immersive mode in both.
Everyone felates and sucks off purenexus, but Uberstock runs circles around it in my opinion.
