Gestures not working

I've got gestures enabled in accessibility but when I have a notification and wave NY hand over sensor area it doesn't wake up or give me a view.
What could cause this?
I used the basic xml file with package disabler. Is there anything in there that could have caused it?

hi,
firstly, the wake up gesture works fine for me. No issues, I have stock Rom (920C device) not rooted and no apps disabled. A few tips to remember. If correct setting is enabled in Accessibility /Dexterity and interaction /Gesture wake up . You don't wave your hand actually, its more of a "slow motion effect /action" over the device /sensor, than a fast wave etc.
Also check some combination in Settings if it is set correctly.... eg Notification reminder and LED indicator (re notification light flashing etc) clashes with each other.
And yes,
if you play around with apps like Package Disabler you must expect that disabling certain system apps can break other apps depending on the one you disabled ?
Good luck

Thanks. Will check all of that.

There is no "Gesture wake up" in my stock rooted N9208. Only direct Call, smart alert, silent and screenshot are available.

That's a different thing, gesture wake up is in Dexterity and Accessibility.
I've got mine "on".

You're right. Found it and it's working.

disable the disable!

Is there a workaround yet to stop Android Auto from disabling the phone.? Once I'm connected to the car I can't see any email notifications (sound/vibrate/LED). It's really irritating and means I have to disconnect my phone every 15 minutes to check email!
Thanks.

Isn't the whole point of AA not to look at your phone every 15 mins while driving ?

Tell Apple that. Anyone actually have an answer? Thanks.

You can hit the multi task button and open a recent app. Keep your email client open in recents and check it at stoplights.

That's it! Brilliant thank you. So simple but hadn't tried that. I've now installed the caffeine app which also keeps the screen on permanently when connected to a USB. That way the email notification LED light now works when in Android Auto mode.
Thanks again

Or not. That's kind of the point of Android Auto in the first place is to get people off of messing with their phones while they're driving.
The only solution that I am aware I was to buy an Android Wear watch. All notifications still come through on the watch even when connected to Android Auto.

Press multi task button then press home, quickly select app or open app drawer.
I use this method with Note 4

After reading this I also installed Caffeine, it was the perfect app I was looking for to prevent my screen from turning off.

I enabled my email on Android auto unit, and I receive email notification on that..

Hello and sorry for reviving such an old thread.
I have used for some time the trick suggested by @ireknole with a phone having hard buttons. My new phone, however, has soft buttons and Android Auto disables on purpose the multi-task button. (Mate 10 Pro, Android 8.0).
I have no other option left now to check my phone while AA is connected to the car and running. I need to check the phone for searching for a song or my wife needs to change the song while i'm driving - plus search the internet or whatever else she feels like on long roadtrips.
However, I can still access the notifications drawer and all the shortcut buttons found there (i did not give AA permission to draw over other applications).
Does anybody know:
1) How to place a custom button in the notifications drawer which specifically does that: activate multi-task function or any other function to just put AA in background and allow me to access other apps?
2) How to forbid AA to disable my multi-task button in the first place?
Thank you!

I haven't found a way to get the multitask button to reshow, but I have a built in app on my Samsung S8 that allows me to swipe from the edge of the phone and select the "shortcut" "recent apps" that acts like the multitask button. There may be an app that's similar in the play store that lets you open it with a swipe and map a "recent apps" shortcut as an option.

another way is to install AAWidget. it display a widget on your Android auto screen.
but this only work for AA2.9 since google disable third party apk in AA3.0
AA widget will list down mails, whatapps messages etc as long as theres widget for those apk.
make a clone and aawidget and you can havemultiple widget to read your email/whatsapp etc
but you cant read full email or messages if the email or messages too long. just good enough to check what are the incoming email/messages

Thank you for your answers!
I did not try your solutions because in the meanwhile I found a way to gain complete control over my phone using Tasker.
For anyone interested, create a new profile in Tasker, set the trigger to Apps->Android Auto and the task to "Go home".
What this setup achieves is showing the home screen whenever AA tries to pop up on screen, which solves all the problems
I can use my phone as if AA was not running at all, while AA is completely functional on the car's screen.
I use AA 2.9.57xxxx.

If you are on Nougat you can add a custom tile using the regular android api to launche the home launcher activity. But please don't post any source code or ready to use apk somewhere. This should be something for the "pros" if its too easy to use they come up with a way to block the notification drawer

Thank you! I will also try this approach when I'll have a few hours, as I have some Android development background

I just started using AA on my Nexus 5X running 8.1. AA hides the multi-task button, but if you swipe up from the bottom of the screen; the buttons re-appear for a few seconds and you can select it again.
My problem is that AA sets the screen timeout to 15 sec. So when I pull over to check/write an email; the screen constantly shuts off. The Nexus 5X is no longer a "fast" phone, so starting OWA (outlook) takes more than 15 sec. I've gone into the phone settings after connecting the phone and changing it back to 2 min., but this setting will re-set the next time I plug the phone in again.

Latest version and the version before it (3.1 is latest, can't remember exactly what the previous version is) has changed this.. you can now just swipe up on the phone and access it normally when it's connected to Android auto.

[Help] Actions in notificartion doesn't work

Hi, i'm really new to tasker, so i really need your help.
I'm trying to set up and alarms profiles that do the following:
- Change madia volumen to 5
- Reproduce a musica file.
- Add a notifications with two actions: clear notification and stop music.
When i try the task, everything is executed fine, but when i tap in the actions on the notifcations, nothing happens.
To test, I also added next:
- Wait for 1 minute.
- Stop music
- Clear notification.
And worked, just fine. So it seems to be a problem with the notification.
Any help will be appreciated.
I'm under a Galaxy J2 SM-J200M with lollipop 5.1.1, rooted with chainfire supersu v2.65

You need to set-up a profile that reacts to when you click on the notification buttons.
It's best explained by the developer Here :-}

Ok. So, the default add action into a notification doesn't work unless you integrate the action with autonotification?

[Trick] Make AOD useful again

So you tried AOD (Always On Display) on your favorite Port ROM, you like it but you don't use it anymore because of battery issue.
A way to avoid this would be, like application bases AOD do, to enable this feature only if the phone is on charge. Unfortunatly, this settings is not available. I found a way (somewhere, by somebody else, all credit to him) using Tasker to do it:
Once you have Tasker and Secure Settings (paid apps, but in my opinion, really worth it if you like customizing your device), open Tasker and do the following :
1. On the Tasks tab, create a new task called for example ‘AOD On’
2. In that new task, add an action (Category = Plugin, then Secure Settings)
3. Edit the configuration in the new screen and select Actions => Device Setting
4. In that screen, the Setting Table should stay at ‘system’, and the Setting Name should be ‘aod_mode’. The Setting Value should be set to ’1′.
5. Save the task and create another task with the same steps but call it ‘AOD Off’ and set the Setting Value to ’0′.
6. Once both tasks have been created, go to the Profiles Tab and create a new profile and select ‘State’.
7. Select state category => Power => Power
8. Leave Source as Any, and Invert unchecked.
9. Save the profile, choose the correct task (‘AOD On’), call it ‘Charging’ for example
10. Create a second profile called ‘Not Charging’ exactly the same way but with the ‘Invert’ of step 8 checked, and select the task ‘AOD Off’.
UPDATE : Solution No2 (+ disable AOD when battery is low)
1. Download this app (paid),
2. Don't forget to select the features you want to enable,
3. Thanks @erghetto in post #2 !
4. Voila !
Both solutions works fine on my S8 port. AOD becomes useful again !!!

Well honestly I tried all app based AOD and it's like lock screen app : more features, nice looking but not so well implemented that stock (security, look and feel, Speed...).
But if you are ok with it...

Maybe you didn't even open that link.
It is an app that simply activates aod only when phone is in charge (plus another feature)
So no need to download tasker or any other app.
It is paid, but also one app you suggests need be payed, so this one is simpler and doesn't require any configuration with tasker or similar

Ok, ok, I see, you're right, it's a good alternative. Now it depends if you already use Tasker or not, but for people who don't and don't want to bother with all Tasker settings, that's a nice app I didn't know !

Question Is it possible to automatically open the rear display when the camera is turned on?

Hello everyone,
As you know, when the icon in the upper left is pressed, the image is projected onto the rear display. It's annoying to press this icon every time the camera is opened. Can I make it open automatically by changing a value with the Setedit application?

Yes, but after restart it will be off
1 - go to camera settings, set "preserve settings" to ON, Autostart - ON
2 - switch on rear display in camera, then minimize camera app
3- in recent app make sure camera app is locked, so won't be closed by MIUI
After this when open camera, rear display is already ON, check if it works for you and let me know

Thank you but I am looking for a permanent solution.

Up.

Up.

Plase help me guys

Without re-compiling the camera app with modified code, you're out of luck my friend.
As a die-hard Tasker user, you could make a task and add it to the home screen that opens the camera app and then use AutoInput to look for and select the rear screen display button upon launch with said task.
