[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.

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.

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

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

How can I get the correct overscan

Disable Keyguard with Tasker

Hallo everyone,
i have looked over all the threads here but did not find any solution.
My question is: Since SecureSettings (plugin) seems to be not developed anymore i need a new way to completely disable keyguard with Takser and ofc. reset to keyguard it was before.
Example: currenty i have a pattern to unlock. What i want to do: Profil "App X starting" -> Start-Task: completely disable keyguard (no "swipe to unlock", no pattern, no pin, nothing: tapping on power button => screen on with current running app); -> Exit-Task: restore pattern (with the pattern i was using before ofc)
Does any1 know any way how to do this? Currently i am running CM13 Snapshot (Android 6.0.1) on my GT-I9505.
thanks for any helpful answer

You can do that with Secure Settings, or the new AutoTools plugin

No, it did not (at least not for me), i did not even find the "disable keyguard" option like the SecureSettings Pluig-in had it
Still looking for a way to completely disable keyguard on Android 6 (CM13). Not even with my Smartwatch and "Smart Lock" i can REALY disable keyguard, i still have to swipe the Lock-Icon after reaktivating my phone

you can use secure settings on Lollipop and also on MM
try this with Terminal emulator:

Thanks, but i already knew this. The problem is not, secure settings does not find su binary. The problem is, secure settings -> disable keyguard is not working on LP&MM.

I am running Android 6.0.1... I use the Tasker plugin TouchTask (in Google Play) to disable the keyguard. It works perfect for me.

I use a tasker plug in called TouchTask from Google Play. It works perfect for me on Marshmallow. I used the plugin to temporary disable the keyguard in order to allow voice commands when driving.

hi, this is weird!
Maybe I misunderstood something here, but I'm running MM, and Secure setting's disable keyguard runs fine here. I use it to turn off pin keyguard when at home, and turn it back on, with preset pin, when I'm out.
I'm running Tasker with Secure setting on 6.0.1. Also, Secure setting is enabled in Xposed, if it matters.
I don't see any problem so far...
p.s. I just saw another plugin from the same developer, it is called SecureTask, it claims to be able to clear/set pin, password too. Maybe a good solution to finally replace the dated Secure setting?

Like mentioned in my OP (and how it worked on 4.4.4 (CM11):
Profil "App X" => start task: disable keyguard => end task: enable keyguard
i am using unlock pattern usually. what i want is, while "App X" is active/running, keyguard will be set to nothing (not even swipe to unlock!). pressing power (or home button) on my Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505), wich has no fingerprint reader, returns me from black screen (screen off) to the running "App X", i was before pressing power button to screen off. If i stop "App X" the keyguard should be re-set to the unlock pattern.
The SecureSettings plugin did this job on android 4.4.4, but not on 6.0.1 for me

I would recommend Xposed module App Settings, allow your app to show on lockscreen.

Please keep in mind that previously, I have disable the PIN using Tasker and Secure Settings when my cell phone is connected to my car's bluetooth

Keyguard is disabled/not an option in Secure Setting even I enabled legacy features. Did anyone figure it out how to disable keyguard on Marshmallow?

Because an app is obscuring a permission request... when trying to USB Debug Website

I have an unrooted/unchanged/stock Huawei P10 running EMUI 5.1 and am trying to debug a website I'm making. Latest Chrome on the P10 and latest Chrome on my Retina MacBook Pro 15'' (late 2013) High Sierra 10.13
The route worked on all my previous devices. USB Debugging is checked on, I plug in the cable and say yes to the prompt "Allow Access to device data?". Next prompt "Allow USB Debugging" -> OK gives me the following error: "An App is obscuring a permission request. Settings can't verify your response"
Looking for solutions I read stuff about background apps which mess up things. All I know of / remember installing is "Mi Band Tools", and "Pie Controls".
I tried to shut down "Mi Band Tools" via Settings -> Apps -> Mi Band Tools -> "Stop" – But it seems not to be stopped for long? Since I don't know if this would solve the problem anways, I figured to come here first. It would be great if I wouldn't have to uninstall these apps.. always a pain to restore etc.
Thank you very much!

I had the same problem with my Huawei Honor View10.
I had to uncheck the "Permit drawing over other apps" for a (in my case) JINA Drawer. Maybe you have to uncheck an other one...
In EMUI 8 = Settings - Apps - Apps & notifications - Apps - Settings (bottom of screen) - Special access - Draw over other apps
Good luck!

If it doesnt work, disable the last app you enabled, and if it works again...that is the app that is doing the dirty work...mine was not in the system apps it was one of my apps which is AZ Screen Recorder lol....(why the app that is being used everyday need to be disabled....)

1. Apps such as Blue light filter apps constantly appear on the top of your screen thus breaking some of the on screen functionalities. Try disabling display over other apps permission of such apps and you should be fine.
2. Also, sometimes it is because of your custom launcher, so try switching to your stock launcher if above solutions don't work.
3. If Accessibility for some apps are on then try disabling them first.
PS : Of all the 3 solutions try the possible ones.
Hope it helps.

This put me on the right track.
I have an LG G6 running Android 8.0. My Keeper Security app needs permission to Draw over other apps and since around December 2018 it has started acting 'flaky'. The app would warn me that I need to turn on this permission, but when I clicked "OK" in the Keeper app to take me to the Android setting for the app, it was always turned on. I could turn it ON/OFF, along with the setting that needed this permission in the Keeper app (called Keeper Fill) and eventually get it to work again, but it would always break again very soon after.
As I am getting ready to go on a trip, I installed Google's Datally app. It, too, wants me to turn on Draw over other apps, but when I tap "next" to be taken to the Android settings page to enable Draw over other apps, nothing happens (I usually expect an app detects it has been enabled and gives "success" message).
So I started disabling the 3 possible suspects listed by kapil1100. I had LG's Comfort View and some Accessibility options enabled, so I turned them off and: no change.
I disabled all other apps that have permission to Draw over other apps via: Settings > Apps & notifications > Special access > Draw over other apps, and: no change.
I use Evie launcher, so I went back to the stock one: no change.
I got thinking about what else could be modifying/accessing the screen and realized that LG has custom Home touch buttons.
I went to: Settings > Display > Home touch buttons > Hide Home touch buttons and DISABLED Show lock/hide icon and then tried enabling Draw over other apps for Datally and IT WORKED!.
I was then able to turn Show lock/hide icon back ON and everything has been working as expected. I suspect that, because I had Show lock/hide icon turned on during an upgrade, something got messed up and my turning it OFF and back ON fixed the issue.
I hope this helps someone!

[Help] How to use Tasker to turn on AOD

Hello, I've just started to learn to use tasker and I can't set the task I'd like.
The idea is the same as this tutorial:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/how-to/alwaysondisplay-aod-substitue-missing-t3698336
So when you receive a notificacion of the selected apps, AOD turns on, and when you delete the notificacion, AOD turns off. So it wil save a lot of battery compared to AOD always active
I hope some more experienced user can make it work, as I'm totally lost right now.
Thanks!

Anyone, please? Thanks in advance

Mainly I don't know how to set the task "turn aod on/off"

Well, all you need is to download the two xml files to your device. I'm using Opera, so I chose download link option, that ended up downloading the xml file. Grant tasker all necessary permissions in 3 dots, more, Android settings. Otherwise, Tasker won't work properly. Tap on 'tasks' tab twice, and select import. Do this for the two attached files. Then create a profile according to guide in given link, choose one or multiple apps at once, when you press back Tasker will ask you associated task, select correct task. Repeat another profile. Toggles both profiles if it has not already, then tap check mark on top of Tasker app. You are then, good to go. I'm not an expert by any mean, just one step from labelled a complete noob, I just love to try new things so in case any further things to clear up just keep this conversation going.

There is an app mentioned in the post, which is AOD edge https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe, I also gave it a try and it also worked nicely and beautifully when properly configured. You might wanna give it a try to avoid all the complication. Just remember to scroll all the way down to save your settings. It's free.

Actually what doesn't work for me is the tasks to turn on AOD. I've followed the steps and they just don't work. I previously had a LG G6 in which it worked flawlessly, and I thought that they need to be adapted to Galaxy note 8 firmware. But since you said it's working for you, I am confused.
Everything on my side is correctly set (permissions and so) but the tasks doesn't work, not even turning them on manually

I'm going to send you screenshots of profiles and tasks later on. In the meantime, try the following :
1. Exclude tasker from battery optimization
2. Turn AOD on, go to lock screen, check if aod works. Then turn it off, it should be off for this profiles to work. Remember aod will disappear if unread notif has been read.

To my understanding, the task is basically similar which differentiate by value, '1' for aod_on and '0' for aod_off.

You can find the screenshot of my profile below, with a few chosen apps corresponding to aod task. The two profile seems to be identical visually but they actually cover different event as mentioned in above guide.

Yes, I knew that. But the task seems to do nothing on Samsung devices. Maybe it needs to be rewritten.
Can you confirm you have a Samsung Galaxy and it's working for you?

2. Open the menu, tap the tab "About Android Auto"
3. In the menu that opens, tap on the gear (settings). Then we crawl to the very bottom of the menu that opens: "Version 4.5. *** - release".
4. 10 times tap on the display of the version of Android Auto, a window will appear where we must agree with what we are doing. Click "Yes."
5. Go to the menu (tap "three points") and select the tab "For Developers" that appears in the menu
6. In the last line, put a checkmark "Unknown sources" or use other settings of the developer's menu.
3. Use the AA AIO TWEAKER from @shmykelsa for activation third-party applications.
4. Launch the application and perform the initial setup of permission recovery. Click on the button and save them.
5. Make the necessary settings as desired.
Warning:
If, after turning off the smartphone or exiting AA (turned off the car, closed the emulator, removed the USB), the resolution of the smartphone did not return to its original state (the recovery settings, failure, smartphone features, etc. were set incorrectly, etc.), you need go to Settings → Reset settings and select the WM SIZE RESET option. Resolution will be restored to factory.
Don't forget to use the button (if you want course):
Warning! New version of the application released!

Great features. Thanks for the work. Do you have a github link?
BTW, What is "AAMM"? Is that a separate app? Thanks. Never mind I just found out your project previously named as Android Auto Mirror Mod(AAMM).

AAMM and S2A are different applications. For example, AAMM doesn't work on Android 9.

I see. But in your post you mentioned

Permission will be restored to factory.
Do you mean we should install AAMM and S2A both?

Such a bug happens on some models of smartphones (Samsung) that do not support non-standard resolutions. To do this, a reset function was introduced.

Sorry it was a mistake (S2A settings)
I think that S2A will combine all the functions (AAM, AAM +, AAMM and AAStream). This is the main idea.

Hi, start AAMM, go to Settings → Reset settings and select the option WM SIZE RESET what exactly does it mean? which application should i open? what do you mean by AAMM? let me know thanks

Replace AAMM by Screen2Auto, they are quite similar, Screen2auto can be considered as an "upgraded" version of AAMM
WM SIZE RESET : it reset the screen resolution to default settings
WM DENSITY RESET : it reset the DPI to default settings

I'm sorry this is my mistake. I transferred this phrase from the manual to another AAMM application. Now I fixed.

No, these are just settings
root your phone
download and install screen2auto
use phenothypepatcher to patch screen2auto
reboot
enable developper settings in android auto and enable Unkown sources
then you'll be able to mirror your phone screen on your Head Unit

Hello.
Maybe you need to set another resolution manually. Netflix may have internal mirror protection. I dont know. I have never used this app.

I got "Do not set the recovery options screen". What should I do?

No there is no mirror protection for netflix, at least it was working with AAM and AA Stream, tried it with Screen2Auto via Android Auto emulator and it works fine

You need to set it up first via the Screen2Auto app on your phon, go to screen restore settings tab and enable "Restore screen on focus lost"

Hello,
thanks for that wonderful app, i love the small back button, better then by AA Mirror.
One quick question:
Is it possible to restet the orientation when i go out of Screen2Auto but not disconnect from car?
Example, i start Screen2Auto then i go to Maps for example, now Screen2Auto is not activ (but not disconnect from car unit), so i want to set the Screenrotation to 0.
Is it possible, or is it only possible when i disconnect from head unit?
Thanks.

No. Screen2Auto screen rotation settings will only reset once you disconnect your phone from the head unit.
If you want to handle many different scenario of screen rotation, I advise you to use Tasker and Rotation Orientation Manager. It's not easy at first but then you can automate a lot of things
