PIE Control Back and Menu Buttons don't work. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Does it require root for back and menu? I can't seem to make it work on my Note II, which a shame because the S Pen can't activate the capacitive keys.

Works fine for me rooted stock or on Beans Build 9.

You have to be rooted for the LMT app to work properly afaik.

The Spen is not supposed to work on the back button. That is why Samsung made Spen gestures. You can go back or to the home page with different gestures from factory. If you read the manual, you can learn a while bunch of beat features rod phone offers.
All in all, you can do what the pie offers plus more in settings, you should try it out and customize it to your likings.

[Q] Is there a mod where i can get the recent app menu

I have a rooted galaxy s3 with custom rom but im just wandering the older version of android has that recent app menu in the notification menu which i liked, is there a way i can get it back ?
What do you mean?

Isn't that a HTC Sense thing?
I just hold the home button and use the task switcher..
This is an HTC thing. An old HTC thing.

I agree
Just like the galaxy nexus the on screen navigation keys.... Back home and recent apps button was great because on the galaxy S3 having to switch recent apps by pressing home button will wear and tear button and takes 2 seconds whereas on screen recent apps button was perfect
I know AOKP rom has this on screen keys mod but any add on that someone is developing or has developed for s3 with touchwiz framework would be winderful.... This new TW is beginning to grow on me

i think goluacher also has a recent and running apps in the menu.
Check out "Task Switcher" by gdroid on play store (com.gdroid.fastfive).
Personally I didn't like it, as the curtain doesn't close automatically. But it seems to work fine.
Maybe a developer can bake it back in once some roms start flowing. But nothing I've seen. Let us know!

Good job posting what the guy on top of you posted. How helpful.
There is a new app on the market called Multitask Shortcut, it's not free (only £0.50 though) and I have not tried it but it does seem to do what you are after (check out the video he has on the app page)...

Whoops. Lack of focus.
I believe the devs are already working on it :good::fingers-crossed::laugh:
I believe paranoid let's you choose which apps you want in tablet mode.
Why would you want onscreen buttons when you already have physical buttons? Seems like a waste of screen space to me.

On screen buttons allow navigation using the spen on non touchwiz ROMs.

First, yes paranoid allows you to choose DPI, tablet mode, and large screen per app.
Second, it has an optional nav bar, but...
Third, it supports spen gestures.
I recommend it.

[Q] S pen gestures

So I Know you can draw an up arrow to access the menu key functionality as well as drawing a back arrowto go back. Is there a way to access the home Screen with a gesture?

you can check out GMD spen control if you have root. It lets you set custom gestures.

Thanks, I can't believe they didit include this. not sure I want to go through the rooting process just yet. I'm sort of a recovering flashaholic

If you use another launcher other than TouchWiz you can. I just tested with sslauncher. I opened the gesture control and created a new gesture "H" and chose sslauncher from tae application list. It will not work with TW as it does not show up as an app. It is a bit of a work-around as you must first open with an upward motion and then write "H". Its far far quicker to press the Home button.
If you do decide, or already use a third party launcher i would recommend you use "SwipePad" instead to quickly jump to the home screen using the S-Pen

What feature would you like to see added to the note 2?

In case any developers are looking for new ideas to fold in....
I would like to see a custom circular menu surround the spen tip when I long press and have about 12 customizable options in the "full circle" menu. It seems like a waste that long press with the pen does the exact same thing as my finger. Something like Pie but full circle.
What do you want to see?

I'd like to see the AOKP octo lock screen with customizable shortcuts/apps and icons as well as the AOKP toggles in touchwiz roms
How about google wallet? JK I would like to see an option for a stock jellybean note 2 with s-pen capabilities, or maybe a siri like feature that works better than S-Voice. For the love of god im from michigan and have a "normal" accent and that stupid thing CANNOT ever get what I say right, Siri never had any problems during my brief stint on an iphone 5, neither does the google now.
The lmt launcher is only thing I added. That's the only thing the note 2 is missing. Something that keeps you from reaching across the device for the back key.
I would love for the Note 2 to allow any app for the Multi-View function w/out root... =)

You can use back and the menu button with the spen, you hold the button on the spen and use gestures. Look at the manual.

Or run the S-Pen tutorial in Settings. It walks you through everything.

I'll ask wugfresh next time I see him about working on something like that.
i really want smart scroll that is apparently coming with the GS4.
It would be nice if we could remap the long press action on the hardware buttons.

Yes I know that they can't add s-pen support to the capacitive buttons. But it is being added to future devices. I use LMT to avoid the buttons in general.

I'd like customization of the notification drop down (remove toggles, remove brightness slider). As well as true TABLET MODE on touchwiz, something akin to Paranoid Androids hybrid set up.
I feel the tablet mode mod that exists now leaves something to be desired. That's not to say that I don't appreciate whoever came up with it to begin with, I would just like a little more polish.

[Q]Pie Controls on CM?

I know that there are ROMs for this phone that have the feature. But why doesn't the official CM have it? I know it is disabled on some ROMs when the software keys are disabled, but when you enable them, the settings for PIE controls should appear. But in the official ROM, they don't when you enable them by adding "qemu.hw.mainkeys" with the value of zero (0). The Avatar ROM does, but why not official CM? anyone willing to do the mod?

ok so here's why pie isnt showing up on our phones. we have captive buttons so they turned the pic control off by default. to get it back you'll need to do some things:
first
you will need to edit your build.prop and add this line
Code:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
second
you will need to turn on "expanded desktop" you can do this by going to settings > system > expanded desktop
once you have that reboot the phone.
then go back into settings > system and at the bottom you will see pie options and nav bar options.
let me know if you need any more help
Since the PIE controls currently duplicate our always available capacitive keys, I'm not sure I see the use. Perhaps if more options than home, back, recent/menu become available it will be worth enabling.
its good to use if the captive buttons don't work anymore. during the rezound days mine stopped responding and i had to use the pie controls. later found out that was the start to the end of my touch screen but it was great when you have no other options.
On the Official nightly, i cant seem to get it to come up. And, yeah, my home button currently doesn't work. That is why I ask. I have to use the back button.

Edit: here is what we have on OFFICIAL CM. Do I have to switch to something like Avatar? I know it has it when you enable the NavBar. It doesn't show anything about PIE controls. Only about the NavBar and quick shortcuts that go with the NavBar.
