[APP][UPDATE 10/10/2010]CarMode V3

Thread moved to - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=806018
Please unfollow this thread and visit the link above instead for latest updates.
Introducing CarMode, an alternative to Car Home. Basically what it does is it shows you huge buttons to important apps that you might use when driving a vehicle with less distraction than manually waking your phone, opening the app drawer, etc. Unlike Car Home, this app will give you more flexibility and more settings to poke around with (even better in future updates).
Looks best with MDPI devices (320x480 resolution, e.g. Droid Eris).
As of now, this app is currently in Alpha phase. What you see right now does not reflect how it will look like and work in the future. I'm working hard to make changes and add more features. Currently NOT in the Market but available on GetJar.com

Nice job. Works like a charm for me.

Whoa it worked?! Nice Thank you for testing it!
And yeah, I just need to fix the graphics and such @[email protected]
For the Display, I directed it to the Display settings so you can put the screen on for whatever time limit you want before it goes off, useful if you're driving so you don't have to press the End call button to wake the phone xD

Nice job. I don't use Shazam so I can't test that. Everthing worked fine except the dialer button. It FC every time I tried it. Maybe because mine is themed or because the rom I'm on has a different dialer than the one you created the app with.
Great work. Looking forward to seeing a custom icon.

Oh, the Dialer actually uses the "Dialer One" app. You can get it from the Market. I'm actually working on it. Fixing and stuff. I'll let you guys know for changes. I'll be posting a new version by the end of the day.
Thanks for trying it out!

V2
V2 works well for me again. One thing that I notice is that when I hide one of the icons they come back when I open the program back up. It would be nice if the settings would stick. Nice progress though

I like the themes and the option to hide unwanted apps but a few things that I noticed:
Can you only display the disclaimer at initial open?
I get FC when navigating back from any given app.
Large file size.
Keep at it, it's coming along nicely.

Yup, I noticed that too and I'm working on making settings persistent so that on the next app launch, it stays.

Good one, I'll try to find a way to hide the disclaimer and not be very intrusive.
The size is my problem too. Probably because of the themes. I'm thinking of making another package for themes but I don't know how to do that yet. I'll find ways to decrease the file size.
Again, thanks you two Your feedbacks will help me improve this app by A LOT!

The file size really isn't that big a deal (apps2sd) but if you find a way to trim it, it would be nice.

Yeah, A2SD FTW
I'm somehow looking for a way to modify apps from App Inventor so I can publish them to the Market so updating would be easier.

New update tonight 10/09/2010
v3 is up! Please test it out? Thank you so much!

screens look awesome. gonna try to dl and try tonight.

Well........That was a major improvement! I love the new interface. It is very quick and smooth. Keep up the good work. Its coming along wonderfully. Again major improvement over v.2!

Awesome app! Much more stable than the last version. I tried everything and couldn't get it to FC at all. I like the different tabs and the hidden disclaimer...and that it no longer has the stock icon. A few constructive suggestions for V4:
When apps are deselected in the settings, have the main screen autofill (it currently leaves a blank box).
Fix orientation for landscape so you don't have to scroll down to see the rest of the apps.
There was a blank app box (not sure if that's supposed to be there).
Is it possible to let the users select their own apps/settings for it to call on? This would eliminate the need to add a bunch of apps and have the user deselect unwanted ones.
This app has come a long way. Can't wait to try out the next version.

Oh and maybe add a car finder app/feature for when people reach their destinantion and forget where they parked?

-Autofill
-Landscape mode
-Fill in blank box xD That was just a filler cause I didn't know what to add there.
-Ability to select own apps
-Where-did-I-park? feature
Thank you for the suggestions, I'll try to find ways to add those. They're good ones too. My only problem is that the landscape and the choice to add own stuff would probably take a while. I have to find a way around App Inventor. It has a lot of limitations that's why I can't implement some other stuff.
But again, we'll see. I appreciate the output!

Hi,
Does this work with HTC desire? I tried to install it, but it closes down everytime I start phone oglor an app that has to do with contacts. Navigation is working fine
I tried to disable the empty button on page 2 and now I get an error when trying to open settings?

Yes, I made an error and based the actions/intent on Froyo ROM. I forgot that this differs with every ROM/version/phone.
If you could help me, if ever you have LauncherPro as home replacement app, could you go to your desktop, hold down screen and choose Shortcuts > Activities and look for the app that force closes and give me (if you don't mind), all the things that has starts with a com.* etc, etc under the Dialer for example. That way, I can fix it

Dot View Mods is a collection of modifications for the HTC One (M8)'s Dot View cover.
This module requires an unlock key for most features: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mohammadag.dotviewmodsforhtcmateunlockkey
Features include:
Control your music playback and see what's playing right from the Dot View cover.
Add gestures to the case and customise them.
See notifications at a glance, with support for all Android notifications. (enable the listener in Settings -> Security -> Notifications access)
* See the full notification when it first comes in: your notifications scroll across the screen.
Quick dial contacts right from the cover, with support for up to 9 shortcuts spread across 3 pages.
Don't have a contact and still want to dial them quickly? Open up a full dialer right from the cover.
And if you're bored:
Play a quick game of Snake, retro-style!
Compatibility:
This module was coded with the stock DotMatrix application set to 480DPI, the developer cannot guarantee it'll work fine with other DPIs.
If you have other modifications installed, support cannot be guaranteed.
Usage:
Dialer:
Swipe up to call the number, swipe down to close the dialer. If no numbers are input, a swipe up redials the last person called.
Swipe from right to left to delete a number, tap and hold the numbers at the top to delete all.
A future update may add speed dial from the stock dialer.​Snake:
Tap the HTC logo on your cover to pause the game, tap it again to save progress and quit the game.​Shortcuts:
Swipe left and right to change between shortcut pages.​

Great collection of m mods for the dot view. I bought the unlock key shortly after I installed it, great work.
Will you be posting future work here @MohammadAG?

Yep, I realised email was bad for this kind of stuff since a lot of it is repeated.
I'm done with exams, so there should be more updates now. I've already added a torch feature.

Awesome, looking forward to it!
I have a couple of suggestions:
- Is it possible to make it so that none of the apps are turned on by default for notifications? So that people have to add the ones they want rather than untick the rest that aren't really useful?
- Is it possible to disable gesture controls completely? so no menu or music control etc?
This module will be perfect for me if it is as close to stock as possible, with the addition of custom notifications of course
Anyway, keep up the awesome work :good:

Believe it! Play SNAKE at Dot View. also play song.

I'm having trouble with it actually wo4king for long periods it will stop displaying notifications after like the first notifications (so after a message it will no longer work) also the dialer will work when it wants too I've had like 3 instance now were the phone will stay stuck on the dot view look even if I open the flap... I've Uninstalled it and reinstalled same issue
Any suggestions???

New version is out:
Major features:
Custom gradient support, pick the top and bottom colors from the settings app. Non scrolling text now uses this gradient.
Torch feature, either using gestures or menu items
For everything else, see the change log on Xposed.
Reboot immediately after installation.

If it sticks on the screen, that's actually a crash, I'd need a logcat to debug that, but you need to use adb to get that.
The new version, however, has some bug fixes that will should reduce (or prevent) crashes. Try seeing if it still happens there.

I belive I got a log cat never had to make one so yea... Do you want it via personal message or??

I just downloaded the module, tried and purchased the unlock key in less than a minute. Also I wrote a positive comment at Play Store. Great idea @MohammadAG! I hope to see more functions soon!
Best regards.

Here is fine, I only need the lines starting with AndroidRuntime

Downloaded and immediately paid for the unlock key. Exactly what I was looking for, love your work.
How does one actually trigger the snaka game? Taping on the HTC logo isn't doing anything for me.

You'll need to add it to the main menu in settings, same goes for the dialer.
Tapping the HTC logo exits the game.

For anyone having trouble with the app recognizing the license key after the update, uninstall the license and then reinstall it... It should work after that.
Loving the new features, keep up the good work

I like this mod but they is still some stability issue.
It happen my phone can't unlock and stuck during using dot view play song.
Force restart is the only way.
I believe this module will became better and better.

I'm going to need a logcat filtered for AndroidRuntime. The reason the screen is stuck is because behind it is a dialog that says DotMatrix has stopped working and you'd need to click okay (which you can't).
But still, a crash is a crash and it needs to be fixed, so please, post a logcat

I have my Information preview enabled on all possible AirView settings but still it doesn't recognise my finger, only the pen.

Same here, perhaps the screen is different and Samsung did not bother to port this feature. It iis clear they try to remove all the unnecessary gimmicks from note 4

Pretty sure if those features are there, doesn't matter if hidden, it is possible to make it work. Guess we'll have to wait for 5.0

But Nova Launcher can be installed on non-rooted phones. The only thing that may require root is to put a quick toggle in the notification dropdown. Right?
If it doesn't work for you it may have something to do with your firmware, these are stock Samsung features, I doubt they'd require root to work.

I may have misunderstood the issue but I think u can just turn on air wake up gesture just by going into accessibility and than choose dexterity and interaction. You will find the air menu. Just turn it on

Oh Right, I forgot about that feature I had them in my note 3, I never used them except at the beginning cuz they worked on trial and error basis and wasnt very helpful for me. I guess since the hardware for note 4 has upgraded these gestures might be more accurate.
anyway goodluck.

You are correct. I did it & it seems to work ok..............

Just picked up my New Note 4. Am I going to have to Run Nova Launcher as my Primary Launcher to have AIr View & Air Gesture tools (without Root)???
I love Next 3D & that is the Launcher I primarily use. I also Love the Air View, Air Gesture, & Quick Glance. I want them features but I don't want Nova. Any Advise??? I saw that the Guy up there said he was ROOTED. I thought there wasnt anyway to ROOT the VZW Note 4? If there is but it will trip Knox, Im Ok with that & can someone point me in that direction. Thanks! Jason

Nova launcher is used only to get to shortcuts activities if your favorite launcher has shortcuts to activities then by all means use it I don't use Nova launcher I just needed it to activate the features I don't have Verizon so I'm not sure about root on that but it will trip knox no biggie

I am not rooted and I can confirm these instructions work.

[MOD][W8]Remove S Finder/Quick Connect Buttons

There are two methods to change your quick settings panel to remove the buttons: a build.prop edit or an edit to systemui.
Method 1:
Change
Code:
ro.product.name=zeroflte***
ro.product.device=zeroflte***
to
Code:
ro.product.name=zerofltevzw
ro.product.device=zerofltevzw
If the build.prop edit changes your data icons to VZW and you don't like it, simply add this line to your others.xml
Code:
<CscFeature_Framework_ReplaceDataTypeIconAsOpBrand>OYB</CscFeature_Framework_ReplaceDataTypeIconAsOpBrand>
Method 2:
Install a file at the end of the post.
v2 = deodexed, no bugs (should be working on an odexed rom, please test)
v1 = odexed and has a bug swiping notifications
stock = stock odexed
THIS FILE IS ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH THE G-920W8.
Because of the current limitations of TWRP I cannot force a device check.
I would not recommend flashing this file on any variant besides w8 unless you like SystemUI fcs

I did this on my own a week ago but found that notifications won't swipe away as easily. Very annoying. I wonder why it does that.
Sometimes you have to swipe more than once and instead of clearing it, it opens it.
Clear button usually works better.

Yeah, I just experienced that. Strange behavior indeed. I wonder if it has to do with the padding that was removed? Does it only happen on the first notification or can it happen on any notification?
I think I saw a user in the xtrestolite thread with the same issue. Perhaps something else needs to be changed - there's quite a few calls to the two buttons that I didn't need to touch. I can take a look again but it might not be for a few days

once quick connect is removed , how do you screen mirroring ? as quick connect is the only way i have seen to connect to tv ?

You could also leave quick connect enabled. Chrome cast should also continue to work
Edit: apps like allcast (paid) and localcast (ad supported) will also push content to smart tvs

i dont have chromcast just a samsung tv , and use screen mirroring

I don't use Quick Connect, and I don't know if it's actually used for screen mirroring... There is a screen mirroring quick toggle that you can choose to add to your favorite toggles if you click the edit button on the expanded status bar. Hopefully this negates the need for these buttons for you

Yup only first notification. The rest swipe freely

I suspect this is related to the padding I squished to 0 to make this work. I found reference to the buttons in the qs layout which removed the buttons but left a gap the size of the buttons. If I can remove the gap instead of making it 0 height I have a feeling this bug will disappear

Another solution:
Edit your build.prop and change the line
Code:
ro.product.name=zerofltexx
to
Code:
ro.product.name=[COLOR="Red"]zerofltevzw[/COLOR]
The 2 buttons are gone and I don't have any problems with swiping away notifications. You will get the verizon 4G symbol though.
I'd love to remove the brightness bar as well - never change anything there anyways.
But I failed to recompile the systemUI.apk

You have to deodex and make a smali edit. There is some sort of no swipe zone that goes away when you software disable sfinder/q connect (ie hard code doing what it does for vzw devices)

I just learned how to decompile yesterday Learning to deodex and read smali will take more time... are you positive deodexing is necessary? Will the entire rom need to be deodexed or can I get away with just SystemUI?

Hooboy that 4g logo is an eye sore! Have you tried that mod? When I was on the 920T rom, the signal connection icons changed after I changed the csc xml files to my back up files, so ro.product.name can't be solely responsible for the icons
Another thought, I wonder if verizon has disabled the buttons with a csc code... hmm. I don't know if there's any way we could cross check and compare though because I believe the csc folder is hidden underneath root access .
Finally, this will help you disable the brightness slider. The top post on page 2 has the same mod done with an adb command

So, just to follow up, i changed my build.prop to the vzw one and my signal icons didn't change. Ideally I'd like for my build.prop to have the correct device listed though, so I'm using this as a temporary work around until I can better figure out this issue.
Ideally I will be able to find the code responsible or if necessary deodex.
The fact that it can be altered merely by changing the device name is really making me think there is a csc code responsible for this or there is something in system ui that says if device ~ Vzw then use this layout.... The edit button in the quick settings changed to a pencil as well

Moded systemui to use the standard icons when using verizon build.prop tweaks, and removed the icons when WiFi connected.
This is for 920I, can't speak for other variants.
Edit: Not recommended for other variants.. most likely it will fc.

Good find! Excellent!
Anyone know how to disable safe volume warning? This is the last nail in the coffin for me.

[GUIDE][Difficulty: Intermediate] Hold/Swipe-up Home Button to Enable One-Handed Mode

A few months back, I wrote about a hacky way to enable one-handed mode using a shell script, taken from this reddit thread. With this task (provided you have root access), you can enable one-handed mode just by holding down the home button or swiping-up from it.
Prerequisites
Root access
Instructions
(For Android 6.0+) Go to Settings --> Apps. Press the settings cog up top, then go to Default Apps. Enter "Assist & Voice Input" and for the "Assist App" choose Tasker. Be warned that doing this will stop the "OK Google" on every screen (and off) from working, but if you're okay with that then go ahead and change it!
(For Android < 6.0) Clear the default app that is set for swiping up from the home button. You will enable Tasker as your default app after you're done following the rest of the steps below.
Create a new profile and name it whatever you want, then choose the Event context. Go to UI, then choose Assistance Request.
Back out, and create a new task named 'Overscan' or whatever else you want.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, we'll make the actions needed for the task itself.
Task --> If. Set the condition to %Overscan eq 1.
Code --> Run Shell. For the Command, type in wm overscan reset. Check "Use Root" and then back out.
Variables --> Variable Set. Under Name, choose %Overscan, and set it to 0.
Task --> Else.
Code --> Run Shell. For the command, type in wm overscan LEFT,TOP,RIGHT,BOTTOM where each of the directions are the pixel counts that the screen will shift in. On my Nexus 6p, I've set it to wm overscan 0,845,0,0. See my article for examples.
Variables --> Variable Set. For Name choose %Overscan and set it to 1.
Task --> End If.
That's it! Now when you swipe-up/long press the home button, you'll launch the Overscan tasker task which will shift your screen depending on whether or not it has already been shifted. The %Overscan variable is a global variable that is set to 1 if the screen is shifted and 0 if not.
Of course, this isn't the only thing you can do with long-pressing the home button. You can also do and set the Assistance Request to open a web-search overlay on any app.

Tasker's Accessibility Service should be enabled for it to show up, try that.

I have this enabled and tasker still doesnt show up.

Set to shake event instead
When I just use play button in Tasker it works fine, but if I shake it sets only top overscan ignoring rest parameters

I had this problem as well. Create the profile with the context event "Assistance Request" and it will be available for you use set in the Assist menu

@MishaalRahman
Thanks for this great guide! I first set it up as suggested and then switched it to a shake event, quite handy. I might end up using this with a swipe gesture from Nova launcher.
Do you have any idea how we could realize a shrinking screen just like Samsungs one handed mode? Example here -> http://www.androidcentral.com/sites.../2015/09/note-5-reduce-screen-size-screen.jpg
I did some research and I think it might work using the commands "wm size" and/or "wm density", but I have very little knowledge about how to use them properly. Maybe you can help me out on this...?

When I use this in the home screen and all drawer I get what's in the pictures. Any thing I need to change to fix this? I am using Nova launcher on a rooted nexus 6.

Hi, nice works but how to set correct overscan? I'm using OP2

To mimic Samsung's implementation, you will have to change the LEFT and RIGHT parameters. However be noted that it will really mess with a lot of apps and they won't display properly.

Some apps just don't turn out that well, unfortunately. Like I said this is a very hacky method.

Experiment a bit. Make sure you set a fail safe to revert it back to normal, say if you shake your phone.

Thanks for this trick! But i don't seem to be getting tasker as an option in the voice assist list of apps. I do get secure settings though. Anything that i might be missing here? Also, i've granted accessibility permissions for tasker. On 6.0.1 - Nexus 5

Thanks! It worked! I use pie controls from gravity box, so had to point to this task directly. A little glitchy, but still somewhat usable![emoji106]
Any way we can change the background color after the over scan? Just a thought!

I have checked the 'root'box. Accessibility on for Tasker. But as you can see from the pic above, it's not running. See the red dot? I'm on 6.0.1 and use Google launcher. Long press on home doesn't work either. I get the su toast message saying Tasker has been granted su permissions but that's it. Any help would be appreciated. @MishaalRahman

Hello!
Help needed, I am on Galaxy S6 and I am looking for a way to start / stop the task by long pressing the home button.
As for now I didn't figured it out.
Any help please?

How can I get the correct overscan
