[Q] How to exit out of apps with null? - Samsung Galaxy Gear

I installed flappy bird on my gear (ha ha) and once I start it up there is no way to exit except to reboot the unit! I suspect there is some shortcut or gesture for this in null that I don't know about. Does anyone know?

Doesnt back (Swipe down) work to exit the app?

It does not. I assume it is because the application has captured all of the swipe events but I don't know that for sure.

There is something in gear manager that says Double press power to do "X". In X you can pick any of your apps like double press power to open Nova Launcher. However, when I double press power it doesn't do squat except for turn my screen off and on.

I had the same problem. Use 2 fingers to tap on the screen. That will open running apps. Then swipe left or right to close. Hope that helps

Pie control work also...

What is pie control?
Two finger tap brings up my battery/brightness/volume control. Not closing anything from there.

Have you tried to tap n hold for a second? I'm not sure how to bring up battery etc. Mine must be different.

Ok just read the user manual. Double tap with 2 fingers brings up brightness volume etc. Single tap with 2 fingers should open up running apps.

A long press on the Nova home screen would bring up the thing to add an app or a widget.

[Q] Blinkfeed pet peeve / feature request

Hey All -
Sprint HTC One bought on launch day. Love it so far. If anyone has any suggestions on this pet peeve, post it up:
-Battery life is critical to me, so I opted to make my a clear panel (screen) my "Home" screen. With the Blinkfeed as the home screen, it refreshes the feeds each time you unlock the screen. When it's not the default, it only refreshes when you go to that screen or do the 'pull down'
-When Blinkfeed is your home screen, you can scroll down several screens, then if you hit the Home button, it'll scroll you all the way to the top
-IF Blinkfeed is NOT the default Home screen, the only way to get back to the top is scroll and scroll...which becomes annoying if you get >5 screens down your feed.
So, for any devs up to the challenge, can you tweak/add something like the following:
a. an invisible "fast scroll" bar on the right for scrolling back up
b. When Blinkfeed is NOT the Default home, still make the home button jump all the way back to the top
c. (my favorite) A two finger down swipe (gesture) takes the feed to the very top
Discuss. Thanks -
Blinkfeed top tip: you can tap the notifications bar to scroll back to the top. I think this also works for other scenarios (apps drawer is one I know).

Freakin' awesome....thank you. Guess they borrowed that feature from apple....
Additionally, there is this mod which enables the back button to scroll to top.
Also if you tap Home button it will scroll back to the top.

This doesn't work if BlinkFeed is not your home screen. The home button will scroll to your home screen in this case

[Q] Remove Camera shortcut

Hi,
Anyone able to remove the camera shortcut from the bottom? That is the least function I even use on my "Phone"!
I can move it between the four position, I can put it in a folder but I can't remove it. I would love to put my gmail there instead (along with phone, message and browser), I use gmail 1000 times more then the camera
This is the one bit about the one I don't like. The app draw is confusing. You have to go into the app draw. Long press on the app you want in the draw and drag it to the bottom.

I now find that it makes sense to organize the bottom shortcuts in the app drawer.. it's just a new feature for old souls to get used to, but I like it now.

It does take a couple of goes to get used to but I like the way htc have done it, it's good to be different.

I like how they implement it. Making it only removeable on the app drawer makes it more secure to accidental touches. I usually hold my phone when screen is on and there are times I get my homescreen messed up due to these long presses that moves it accidentally.
Custome shortcuts can't be added

The issue I've found with this, is that I can no longer add a custom shortcut that I've created from apps like Quickshortcutmaker. After creating a unique shortcut, it adds the shortcut to my home screen. From that point on, I cannot add it as a lockscreen shortcut, as that requires that I open up the app drawer (which does not show my custom shortcut).
I've been scrambling around to figure out how to add a custom shortcut. I don't think it's possible without rooting. On the HTC Evo LTE, etc.. I used to have a custom shortcut to the Voice Search feature to go directly there without having to click more than once.

Is long-pressing home very much preferable to the default way of doing this (double-tapping home)?

I my self would definitely prefer a long press rather than having to double tap. Sometimes I miss the second two and just go home but would have no problems with a long press.

Any solution to this? I'd like to make long-press home as the multi-tasking view and disable double-press home entirely (don't care about google now).
On the new 4.2.2 long press is now the menu button, double tap home is the recent apps like before and press, hold, and swipe up is the Google now

Yea I just saw this when I flashed to a 4.2.2 ROM. The thing I want to disable is the double-tap home button as it makes the single-press home a bit laggy since it has to wait to see if the second button press of home is registered or not. I would rather the phone just instantly goes home when I press home which requires the double-tap home function to be disabled which is why I'd like to rebind the task-switcher to something else like long-press home.

It doesn't make it laggy, as it doesn't wait for the second tap. You can still do the second tap once it gets to the homescreen. If you think it's slow, you should see the Samsung Galaxy phones with their REAL homebutton lag

It does... this is exactly what I'm relating it to. On my S3 it had double-press home to go to the S-Voice app. Once I disabled that feature, the home button would be instant on the S3. Otherwise, it would be "waiting" for the 2nd press. It's the same thing with the HTC One... at least it feels like it.
And no, I can't still do the 2nd tap when I get to the home screen...

I can some people store more electrical charge in their fingers, guess you are lacking that 'zap'
In all seriousness, I don't have any lag and you can disable the double tap by editing the framework.jar

Lol... well I feel the vibration feedback of the 2nd tap but it just acts as me pressing the home screen again, not part of the 2nd press from the 1st. I've tried timing it very closely but I still can't get it to go home and then bring up the task switcher. I can just get it to go home, then go home again, or get the task switcher.
Disabling it is only half the battle... I still want to bind the task-switcher to long press but I lack the know-how to do it lol. Thought there would be something built into modaco's framework to do it but I don't see that level of button customization there yet.

Well you have to do it by placing your finger in the HTC logo on the bottom, and slide it up on the screen. Did you do that correctly perhaps?

[Q] Just got my One. What is black bar down sides of games?

I just installed a couple of games to try and they have a black bar on the side/bottom with 3 white dots in it. How do I get rid of it so I can fill the screen completely? I tried a search but not sure what the bar is called so got no results.
Also. How do I get the running apps up so I can swipe them away? If I long hold the home button I just get Google crap.
Thats the menu button. If youre rooted install the xposed mods and the back button enabler which means you can hold down back button for menu.
Please hit thanks button rather than saying it

There is a way. Download Gravity box (KK) and open it. Then scroll down and click on navigation key actions, then modify the long press and single tap for Recents Key
