New App Idea: Assimilation Widget

New Application Idea:
Physical button replacement Widget w/ assignable hot key and reaction.
You know how some speculate... Android probably can be ported to just about any device... and I say why not. But one problem I believe always exists.
Not all devices have the same button layout as standard current android devices.
Lets make a fix for that.
Please create a Physical button replacement widget with assignable hot-key and
reaction.
Requirements:
Android OS with widget installed and 1 Physical button minimum.
[ooops just realized there is a thread for app ideas... if mod wants me to move it there i can... sorry for inconvenience.]
Key Features:
-Devices with more than 1 physical button can also be assigned to.
-Widget becomes invisible but still on-screen when not in use (1x4 size) {similar to voice text's widget}
-Customizable reaction times or presses of hot button can be made
-Widget has Toggle for {[Contacts][Menu][End call]}
-Any configuration or single button press reaction can enable the home screen return and widget visibility
Application Scenario:
Android Assimiated onto an Iphone 3GS (OSX completely ripped out and Android ported on to replace it)
App is accessed through app drawer to set "Hot key-Physical button and reaction times" in this case "the home button", changed setting of widget to invisible unless hot key engaged and reaction times set
once set... back to desktop...
Long pressed on desktop... apply widget (1x4) to bottom of screen... invisible
Reaction of hotkey engagement.
Long press (3 sec hold) = (auto-home button/widget viewer)
Reaction: returns you to desktop home screen and widget toggles are now visible to see...
{[Contacts][Menu][End call]}
Of course Contacts acts like contacts app and menu, end call react like physical button scenarios
Double tap Hot-key = "Back button reaction"
Single tap Hot key = app menu button
I really believe if someone creates a widget like this... developers can hack other smartphone devices and assimilate other devices to run android easier.
Palm pre can have the single physical button now as hotkey.. etc etc too
This can translate future android builds to be simplified with less physical buttons causing more screen real-estate
Hopefully this can be a possibility.
All hail Android! Mwahahaha

[REQUEST] Browser Text reflow and home button to unlock

Hi guys,
Was wondering if it was possible to get automatic text reflow whenever we pinch to zoom on the browser and not just by double tapping? Similar to the browser that HTC is using.
Also wondering if there is a modification that allows you to unlock the lockscreen by pressing the home screen button. It would make a lot of things easier because the samsung lockscreen can be a pain to use.
Thanks!

Tips, hints and Tricks

Hi,
I've been doing some research on Huawei phones and found some tips which I thought I would share. If you find these useful press the like button.
1. Phone Search and recently used apps - Swipe down on homescreen (starting from about halfway down the screen, not from the top or notification centre/quick settings will be displayed) and you will get a search box to search, Apps, Contacts, Browser History, Recent Apps
2. Lock recent apps - In the recents menu (square button in navigation bar) if you swipe down on the App it locks it so it won't be deleted from your recents (I'm testing this to see if it helps with notifications coming through).
3. Photo Focus and Exposure - Long press on the screen when in Camera App and you get two circles for seperate focus and exposure
4. Quick photo - When phone is locked, press volume down twice quickly and it will take a photo really quick
5. Split screen - Long press recents to open the split screen multi-tasker.

Camera shortcut

Hi,
I'd like to implement a camera shortcut other than the stock one with the volume rocker, as that is really awkward when trying to adjust volume.
On LineageOS and stock Samsung S7 software, you can set double press home to launch the camera. On most android phones you can use a double press of the power button.
Can either of these things be activated on the P20 Pro through and app or module?
I really miss that feature.
A workaround would be using for example "Edge Gesture" . You can configure different gestures on the edges to open up the Camera App or any other App. For example whenever I hold the right display edge for 1s, it will open up the camera.
I would also be interested in a solution involving physical buttons. But at least you won't miss the shot so easily anymore.
Hi,
I'd like to have a shortcut on my homescreen to e.g. pro-mode and monochrome. Alas, when long-pressing the camera app symbol, it only gives me choices I don't want. Is there any way to get other camera modes as shortcuts apart from those?
greetings

Question Flashlight on long press power button (or lock screen shortcuts) - Oxygen 13

Hi guys,
First of all, I do not use Gestures and its not activated. So please don't tell me you can do a V on lockscreen, I know already.
I used to have crDroid on my previous OP3T device. You could activate the flashlight on long press of the power button when the screen was off.
Is there any way of adding such a feature to OxygenOS? The device is rooted if it can help. Maybe an available package on F-Droid would allow such customization?
Alternatively, maybe a lockscreen shortcut button on bottom left along with the camera button?
Any way to quickly activate the flashlight with minimal handling of the phone/screen.
Thx
i am looking for built in feature too, but you can use this for now :
Key Mapper - Apps on Google Play
Unleash your keys! Open source!
play.google.com
tested it: seems accessibility is off for this app for security reasons.
