Expanded Desktop? - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Has anyone got a way or app that I can use to enable the expanded desktop (hide task bar and nav keys?
I have xposed framework installed but I cant get any of the tweaks for an expanded desktop to work.. ie Graveybox
I have GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys but that won't hide the status bar unless you're running stock android or CM.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated :fingers-crossed:

I don't know about any 3rd party apps that hides the nav.buttons (that you haven't tried), but Nova Launcher can hide the statusbar if you're rooted. You can also add a custom gesture to show it again (a swipe down for example).

Why, I repeat whyyyyyy did you buy GMD Auto Hide instead of GMD Gesture??
You can do the same thing and many more with it... I for one love the "swipe up on the right up border" to turn off the screen...
See the last option on the screen below, you do that swipe and you get to hide both the status bar and navigation bar...

I had a go mate but Im buggered if I could get the hang of that gesture... I must just be clumsy with sausage fixed fingers.. lol
I just ended up dragging my desktop icons all over the place!!!

I personally use just two/three of them, but since I installed it I never use the button to turn the screen off, and that's really good...

Good to hear!
Note that you have to choose in the first menu if you want to use phone-style gestures or tablet ones. At first I thought I was doing something wrong as the screen didn't get my gestures but then I realised it took gestures for the phone (because I quit the app having selected that)!
Anyway I realised that custom gestures are always available in spite of what type of general gestures you choose.
That way I created one where I put two fingers on the screen and turn them counterclockwise to turn the screen off, and it works like a charm!
I'm trying to search for a method to turn the screen on for the Ultra (tap to wake) but I can't seem to find one...
Could Xposed framework be useful in some way?
I'm still trying to decide whether to install it or not...

All touch to wake settings I've had on previous devices have been baked into the kernel. Even then I disabled them mostly as the kernel wakelock stopped deep sleep.
Im using exposed for the dpi app settings, and running the Xblast module as well for the CRT off effect, advanced power menu etc.

Yeah I guess it would drain a lot of battery...
Would you suggest installing it even without unlocking?
Main thing blocking me here is that if my ZU goes into boot loop I don't have the option to restore a nandroid backup... would a restore via PC companion repair that? Or would I have to reflash an ftf file?

I ran it for a few days without unlocking and didn't run into any issues. If you check the main exposed thread I'm sure he details how you can disable the framework over adb if you run into issues. So no you won't have to refresh the rom if the worse happens. Not as quick as restoring from custom recovery but not the end of the world either. For me it's very stable. The per app dpi settings are a godsend.

The only issue I now have with the gesture control app it that the service doesn't seem to autostart after a reboot. Am I missing something or does it work the same for everyone else?
edid*** cleared cache and fix permissions sorted it, I should have tried that first really

Man I tweak so much I reboot like 5 times a day.
GMD gesture control seems to fall over after a Titanium Backup run, I suspect TB stops the service and fails to restart it. Solved it by converting GMD to a system app

[MOD] Enabled Navigation Buttons (Updated 2-14-2012)

I will be continually adding to them and Porting them to ROMs as they come and i Get time time port.
BUILT for DESENSED-ISH ICS 3.5 - 3.8
Haven't tested with 4.0 but you may lose some of Tachi's features/fixes.
First Off, Thanks to:
scrosler and Tachi = ROM
gogodu5sU = Nexus mods (used as reference)
fernando sor = Guide to Decompile framework-res and systemui
Dr. Carpenter = MODed Trebuchet launcher, and references
I have successfully enabled the navbar at the bottom of the screen. I have also worked to remap the buttons that are contained in the navbar.
That is the most apparent mod, although i have gone through and enabled (and disabled) some things to make the phone work as i would like it to.
List of what is included:
-Nav Bar
*remapped to have Power - Back - Home - Recent - Menu
-shrunk navbar to save space
-enabled 360 degree rotation in apps (and launcher - must enable it in your launcher)
-enabled rotation on the LockScreen (might take it out, its kinda glitchy)
-included the CM9 Trebuchet Launcher - ICS stock launcher with added functionality
-menu key bypasses slider unlock (will not by pass secure locks)

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for blah blah this and that and whatever you do to your phone. It is your choice to flash my Mods and if something negative happens, i am sorry, but i'm not responsible for it.
Instructions for install:
Place zip on sd card
boot into your recovery (only tested in AR)
wipe cashe and dalvik
flash from sd
choose zip
choose xjacobx_mods.zip
install
Reboot
Enjoy
Download:
For Tachi's Desensed
xjacobx_mods.zip
For Ineffabilis Senseless ROM:
MODS
So the MODs i was working on ended up becoming a new ROM based of Newts 4.0.3 Senseless ROM, here is a link to it, check it out if you so desire
Kanged Senseless
Issues:
The main issue i have noticed is that the background of the bar will sometimes be covered by other images that are rendered by the phone. that is not noticeable in most cases except the fact that the background does not seem to refresh, therefore the images stay down there and cause the bar to render incorrectly, the buttons will still work.
In most cases the way i fix it when this happens is to go back to the home screen and open the app drawer (only in stock ICS and trebuchet launcher) this will clear the images out.
if that does not work, i also can open an app and turn the phone sideways, rotates the screen, then press the home button again and the bar should be fixed.
This main issue i believe is related to the other rendering glitches we see (blurry status bar text, blue flashes) and will most likely be fixed when those issues are fixed.
Planned Updates:
-1% battery increments
-clock in middle of status bar
-theme navbar icons
*Also will be porting to other ICS ROMs
Changelog:
2-12-2012
-added support to Ineffabilis (slightly different features)
1/27/2012
-Initial release

It kinda does, but the stock launchers are pretty spread out so you don't notice it much. i have search, back, home, menu and lock screen in it now. but i can put just about any function in the phone into it i'm pretty sure, i have to play with that a lil more tonight.
but you are right, i'm sure that's why no one has done it yet, its not a hard mod lol
I wonder if there is a way to code a news ticker in there or something? Like the Samsung continuum

That would be pretty sweet, i can try to find the continuum source and see if i can figure out how it works.
also there is a launcher in the droidx forums that shrinks the dock to keep it right up close to the nav buttons, i'm going to see if that will install on the rezound ok and if not, i'll try to figure out how he did it and add it in
That will save space some

the continum has a whole separate screen. But it would be cool if we could partition it to do that.

Does this CM9 Launcher work 100%? When I used it on 4.0.1, it didn't work, and I wanna know if this is 4.0.3.

This is an old version of the launcher and it works fine. Some of the customization doesn't. But the launcher itself works very well. And you get a couple customization like rotation and taking the search thing off.

Oh. I guess I'll settle for this haha. Btw, is there anyway to turn off the softkeys? If I'm going to use the on-screen keys, I don't see a point in having the softkeys turned on.

I am going to look into at least turning off the lights... I don't know that it would be best to get rid of their functionality in case the mod doesn't work hahah
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
I love this mod. Turning off the softkey lights would be great, but I also have another idea for a mod:
A mod that turns the softkey search button into a recent apps button.
I know that holding the home button takes you to the recent apps, but it's annoying how long it takes. I personally don't use the search button ever, and would not miss it at all. And maybe for those who do use the search button: make the search button recent apps, but long press it for search.

Well the mod has the recent apps button, i didn't put the search into the nav bar, ran out of room... haha so if you are running the mod, why would use the softkeys? when the recent apps buttons is right there on the Navbar?

Haha... Sorry... My suggestion was for a totally separate mod that would not have a nav bar and mod the softkeys. It would not be used at the same time as this mod.

[Q] HALO / Facebook - not utilising multiwindow / floating overlay

Hi folks,
I am using PAC but my question is related to Halo, which isn't exclusively available on PAC (obviously).
I just want to know if anyone else has had this issue?
I have Set halo up in Whitelist mode and have whitelisted a few apps. I have also added the same apps in the Halo management app. This way I get notifications from and the ability to open any of these apps in multiwindow.
All other apps word fine. If i click the Halo icon to a specific notification, it opens up in a floating multiwindow. Same with if I use the drag right or left function to open an app directly...
Facebook however, when I click the Halo icon to open a notification, it opens full screen. It does open floating using the drag right motion however.
Anyone else had facebook issues with this?

You add apps to it....
Then when you swipe sideways on the halo icon, it scrolls through all the apps you have added. When you come to rest and let go, it opens that app in floating window (as if you'd had a notification)...

I'm tried several SGS3 rom: Paranoidandroid3.60, Dova(?), the latest Dirty Unicorn.
For some reason, the filter (blacklist/whitelist) doesn't work.
> Dirty Unicorn being the "best" as it originally worked but then faded out... and now the b/w list is totally not working
> BTW, most rom packs the HALO app to manually add a "sticky" app to HALO
For my part, I just want a way to filter out constant notification from HALO
Whitelist works on PAC. You know you have to tick apps in android settings, apps, app name, whitelist for HALO?

I think there is a general problem with facebook framework/animations. I am no expert in order to describe it accurately. But here's my story:
As I've already posted in the past (I didn't get any answers), i am using a multitasking app to switch between running activities. This app comes with a bult-in transition animation when switching from one app to another. Every single app works perfectly with the animation, except of facebook and skype.
Also, notice that when you long press the home button and the multitasking bar appears if you click to open facebook, the window immediately fills the screen, while the other applications have a little animation effect filling the screen gradually.
Recently, I flashed a rom with halo support and I experience the same issue as you describe. I do not know if the two things are related to each other, but I think that somehow the facebook app has it's own "rules" about animations and fullscreen stuff.

Good observation.might be a start

Oh, i forgot to tell you that this happens only when facebook is in the home page (recent stories).
If you open facebook on a profile page or a group etc, then the animations work perfectly.
It is really weird to be honest. But it happens with every single rom that i've tried. So i think it is facebook's problem.
Can anyone verify whether there's a difference in the Facebook halo behavior depending on where you last left Facebook?

Go into settings. Under Illusion System Settings, select interface. You will find Halo Options. Here you can turn on halo, and tweak the way Halo works.
Where is my Data toggle in the notification pane quick settings panel?
As of right now, the only way to toggle data is through the Data Usage menu in settings. A fix is being worked on for this. I believe the problem exists in quite a few ROMS for the One.
Why isn't my NFC working?
Don't worry, all you need to do is flash the file at the bottom of this post title NFC Fix. This fix was pointed out by @Pony Express.
How do I enable/Disable CRT animations?
CRT off animation can be toggled under Illusion System Settings>Display
How do I access Google Now?
On the HTC One, the HTC logo is NOT a button. However, in the Illusion ROM (and some other ones), the strip above the logo has been modded to work as a button. Long pressing that stip will give you instant access to Now
Are there any other Bugs I should be aware of?
Not sure if it is mac only, or whether this will occur on PC as well, but if you connect as MTP, mac does not recognize it. ADB and PTP work fine. It is only MTP where this issue occurs. At this point, I feel the issue is with Macs being unable to recognize the MTP protocol. I was able to work it on a PC.

Great rom. I just flashed an hour or 2 ago and I have had no problems. Is it possible to get rid of the background on the halo bubble? Also, it seems like whenever you uninstall an app, a pop-up comes up and says "settings has stopped." the app still uninstalls but just a FYI. Nothing major.

Well, I looked. Like @driodmaster92, I am not really a Dev. I am just learning. I wasn't able to find anything that would explain your issue. Try reflashing, as that is the only thing I can think of to remedy this.
Driodmaster, Would it be possible to have custom toggles in the pull down quick settings panel?

Yeah you can have custom toggles setting>>interface>>notification setting>>quick setting panel>>tiles&layout
And there is a reboot menu you can activate it by going into developer option

Elemental does not work with this ROM. I tried it and I got a black screen on boot. I am almost sure this is a universal issue, as I did this on an absolutely clean and fresh version of Illusion. Just a friendly warning.

[MOD][XPOSED][2013/09/06 1.00]Notification Direct Launcher

I use Tasker to disable keyguard when I'm home. It works fine until when a notification comes, such as Whatsapp, and you click the notification to launch the app. Keyguard will be displayed and requires you to unlock the phone. I believe it's a security measure that the phone think you're still in the lockscreen and launching an app inside the lockscreen requires unlocking the phone which makes sense.
But that security measure completely defects the purpose of disabling keyguard in the first place. So I make this Xposed module to bypass the keyguard completely when you tap on notification messages and keyguard is disabled.
Again this module is based on AOSP source code but it also work on my Xperia phone so I expect it to work on some other phones too. Just try and see if it works on yours.
Requirements
1. Your phone must be rooted
2. Xposed framework must be installed first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
3. Only JB or higher is supported
Instructions
Install the module
Run Xposed Installer and enable the module Avoid keyguard to display when launching notification activities if keyguard is disabled using 3rd party apps
Reboot the phone
Source code
You can find source code for this module from GitHub here.
Download
Xposed Module Repository
Thanks mate for this module. This is really useful.

Keyguard is what you find in system settings -> Security -> Screen lock. It can either be Swipe, Face Unlock, Pattern, PIN or Password.
Many people, like myself, use 3rd party app (e.g. Tasker) to temporarily disable the keyguard when in certain places, such as home, because you're not worried about unwanted access to your phone and unlocking your own phone each time you use it at home is kind of stupid, at least for me.
But the problem with this approach is that even the keyguard is disabled this way, when you tap any notification (e.g. Whatsapp message) in the status bar, the keyguard will appear immediately and even will continue to do so next time you turn your phone on. In other words, keyguard is reactivated again.
So this module is to bypass the reactivation of keyguard when you click the notification.
OK I kind of am a little confused lol.... So I have a GS4 and pin unlock pattern. Lets say I get a notification (text message lets say), and I have floating notifications, if I click on the floating notification bubble of the text message, I will not have to enter my pin # to unlock my device, it will just automatically unlock itself once I click on the notification, correct?? Thanks!

I believe Samsung has already changed the behavior of the notification. This module is only for AOSP or other ROM with similar behavior. One of my friend is using Note 2 and he uses Tasker to disable keyguard too. But tapping notification message does not trigger the keyguard in his phone so he does not need to use this mod too.
The Module works fine, but i did find one Bug. If you use this Module, and try to use Halo, it won't work as it should. The Halo Apps will be opened in Full Screen, instead of a Floating Window. Im 100% sure that its caused by this Module, cause if you disable it an Reboot Halo works fine.

Do you have a link to that Halo app? What does it do?
Halo is a part of Paranoid Android and a few other Custom Roms. Here is a Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdO9ZMwGHuw
In Short, its like Multitasking, an App within an App but inside a little Window. You will understand if you see the Video. I also dont see exactly how Halo is related to your Module but im sure it interferes.

XDA-Developers: Customize the Google Pixel 2’s Active Edge to do any action with Edge Sense Plus [XDA Spotlight]​
What is Edge Sense Plus?
Edge Sense Plus was initially just meant for the HTC U series. It let's you customize the squeeze action and adds some more squeeze gestures and features.
But with the Pixel2 and Pixel3 also coming with a squeezable frame I found a way to make it compatible too.
Since google locked active edge down to just only be able to start Assistant it will require a device rooted with magisk
Requirements
You need to run a STOCK based ROM, because Active Edge is broken on AOSP roms.
You need to be rooted with magisk to use it.
Install the Active Edge System Mod Magisk Module from the MagiskManager Repo and the EdgeSensePlus from the playstore and you are ready to go!
Telegram Group
Join Telegram Edge Sense Plus Group
How does it work
To make it working on the Pixel3 I had to modify the SystemUIGoogle.apk that runs the ElmyraService (Service that processes the squeeze gestures).
I intercept the events and pass them to the EdgeSensePlus Application that starts the appropriate action then that you selected.
Some more adjustments were made, so the squeezing also works when you are in immersive mode, camera or when Google Assistant is deactivated/uninstalled.
What can it do?
Custom actions:
Currently you can choose from over different actions
Quickly Start camera - Also when screen is off and locked
Per App Action - Execute different squeeze actions depending in what app you are!
Sidebar
Gesture Panel - Draw custom gestures to start different actions
Custom App
Shortcuts - e.g. to make direct calls, start tasker tasks and more!

Per app actions:
With the per app action, you can define different squeeze actions per app. So the chosen action will be executed dependent in what app you are currently are.
Double Squeeze: (Premium)
If you often accidentally trigger a short squeeze, that won't happen anymore if you map your desired action to the double squeeze gesture.
You can define a double squeeze interval, to ensure you are quick enough to trigger it every time.
Long Squeeze:
Missed a long squeeze action on your Pixel? Edge Sense Plus has it!
G-Sensor usage: (Premium)
If enabled, will be able to execute different actions depending on the current position of your device, whether it is flat or upright in your hand.
That way you can have six different squeeze gestures: short, long, doublepress in flat or upright device position.
Media control:
The media control will override your set squeeze actions while media is playing so you can control your media.
That includes play/pause, increase/decrease volume and skip to next and previous track.
Squeeze sounds:
Ever thought it would be funny if a squeeze of your Pixel3 would make a sound, if it is a *click*, *oink* , *fart* or whatever you think of?
You can use any .mp3 file to make that happen!
Sidebar:
The Sidebar has 4 different panels, Applications, Shortcuts, Recent Apps (Premium), Quicksettings (Premium).
Panel colors are customizable
Instructions
You must be on at least Oreo 8.1 to to be able to use it. Root with Magisk is required since the magisk module is mandatory!
It is recommended to have a working TWRP backup in case something goes wrong. Check the FAQ for help too.
Like always: Flash on your own risk. I'm not responsible for any damaga to your device
Flash the Magisk Module either in Magisk Manager or TWRP
Install Edge Sense Plus
Enjoy.
Downloads
Now also available via the MagiskManager Repo:
I recommend to install and update the Magisk Module directly via the MagiskManager repository directly in the MagiskManager app.
All releases will be also available on the GitHub repository
Edge Sense Plus:
FAQ
Q: Will it also work on the Pixel 3 XL?
A: Yes, it will. The Magisk module is multi device and version compatible. There is a separate thread on the Pixel 3 XL forum. though
Q: My device bootloops after flashing the magisk module.
A: Ensure you are on the latest Pixel 3 OTA. To get out of the bootloop, go to the magisk thread and install the magisk uninstaller and then reinstall magisk again.
Q: The magisk module zip is greyed out when I try to install it.
A: I have no explanation why it happens for some. Install a FileManager like SolidExplorer or FX File Explorer, then Select that File Browser in the System File Explorer to select the path

Enable the root toggle at the very bottom. It'll unlock some more action, one of them is "Camera" and it will take a photo, if you are within the camera app.
If you are not, it will start the camera app first, then you need to squeeze another time to take a picture.

There is a little bug after switching to it, that dialog is empty. Close the app completely and remove it from the recent apps screen and it should work.
Will fix that bug later today though.

The above post is a bit missleading, since he purchased on the Pixel2 and installed it now on the Pixel3. The Premium Version is per device though.
Once you are premium on a device, it will stay premium.

Curious as to if the premium version being per-device is a licensing limitation or a personal decision?

Personal.
Put so much time into this app and also a lot into the magisk modules for the Pixel.
Unfortunately limited to a small userbase since it needs root and the app works just works just on a couple devices, since it is tied to the squeezable frame.
Just trying to fill the vacation saving for my family a bit and a new baby seat for our 2nd son.
I'm really not mad at anyone though pming me and asking for a free premium key if they bought it on the Pixel2 already.
Already did that a couple of times today.

No need for justification, just curious as I am working on an app with some IAPs and wanted to know more about your setup. Wasn't sure if there was something different due to Magisk, etc.
Keep up the good work! Long squeeze for killing the foreground app and toggling the flashlight on screen off are enough to justify the purchase for me!
