I'm using the xda gestures on my note 8 and because it uses the adb overscan in order to not use the navbar, it cuts off the edge lighting on the bottom of the screen. So my question is, is there a way to have an exception from the overscan for the edge lighting through adb in order to not cut off the bottom of the edge lighting? Thanks for your help

Hi,
So i noticed when setting up Go SMS and other apps that i cannot use my finger to touch the edge of the screen.
For example: when setting up a font colour using the sliders in Go SMS i cannot slide the colours all the way to 0 or 255 with my finger.
It stops at 4 and 250. If i want to go to 0 or 255 i must use my s pen.
Anyone else have this issue and is there a solution to fix it?
Ive attached an example of finger use and s pen use. This edge problem is in all apps.
As you can see, where i drew lines with black using my finger it would stop drawing around 3-5mm from the edge.
Thanks
Neil
Just noticed that!
Yes that's really strange.
I actually never even noticed this until now since I checked.
I'd also be interested to see if anyone knows the cause of this. Whether it's hardware related, or software.
I just tried this, the faster I swipe to the edge with my finger, the further away it stops, but if I do it slower, it goes right to the edge.

Gets worse when charger is plugged in.

I just found that in S-Note, with S-Pen set for left-hand, I can't quite color to the left edge, but can hit the very edge on the other 3 sides. Switch S-Pen to right-hand setting, and can hit very edge of S-Note page on all 4 sides.
Definitely can't get to the very edge with finger, on any side.
yes i too noticed this problem while using sketchbook mobile

Bloody hell...I just realise I am having the same problem...tried to increase some settings in a program...the slider just stops moving about 1/4" from the edge....with fingers..

Having the same issue too...particularly when trying to get the side menu open on dolphin browser... its almost like 10-20 pixels are not touchable.....
Would it be possible to use tasker to display some type of overlay zoom buttons when using Google Maps (I'm thinking something like the floating Chat heads in Messenger)? Or are there any other neat Tasker tricks to make one-handed zoom easier (volume buttons)?

Unfortunately I'm stuck on an iPhone for the time being and can't play around to figure this out for you...But you should be able to use getevent and sendevent to record the script for simulating a pinch zoom. Then create your buttons and run the shell command when button is pressed.

How can i make a shortcut for an app to open in pop up window?
There used to be an app called pen window launcher that had this capability.
Anyone?
Thanks
Just enable swipe from top diagonal to enter pop out view. Takes like 0.003s longer than having a shortcut.
Right. Shortcuts are for pansies.
Anyone builds it I'll buy it though.
Time is money (and finger strain is best avoided).

Any solution ever found? I'd really like this.
Whenever I try to swipe, I just keep opening the notification panel over & over.
Edge screen panel

Multi window edge screen panel lets you open apps in pop up view as well as two side by side apps.

Can you explain further? I can only seem to set app pairs and app shortcuts, would be great to have shortcuts that open in pop up mode.
Thanks
How would a shortcut be any faster than the 2 step process of opening an app and swiping down from the corner? I used to use the old method (pop-up window) which I believe was introduced on the Note 3. Anyway, when I updated my Note 3 to either the Note 4 or Note 5 rom (can't remember which), I had to learn the swipe method. Now, I couldn't imagine going back to the antiquated pen window. I will say that it's not as smooth swiping from the corner of a curved screen like the Note 7 & 8, but I usually have my s-pen out for more precise touch when I'm working off a smaller section of the screen. Honestly, I just use Edge for App Pair since the day I got the Note 8. But, swipe is still the quickest way to open pop-up or floating window.

How would it be faster? You answered your own question by your described method, open an app, swipe down from corner...I'd like to open the app (in pop up window).
There used to be apps in the play store that would created a shortcut for any app, that you can put on your home screen, that would just launch into a pop up window (1 step).
I was able to create a bixby shortcut for a 3rd party calculator to open in pop up window...I hold bixby and say calculate and it opens in a pop up window...it works but a shortcut would make life easier.

Perhaps i said the wrong edge app.. look in the edge app store for multi window launcher app. If you have that then change the setting to popup window.

Couldn't find any app called multi window launcher in the store, I purchased multi-window because it claimed it could do this (it couldn't)
Have you tried pressing bottom most button

Yes that's the one, works for me...
Bottom most button on the edge should change it to popup

Didn't realize u gotta hit the icon with 2 windows! Thanks alot!
On PlayStore, "Floating Apps (multitasking)" by LWi s.r.o., is exactly what you're looking for. It provides real shortcuts for the ability to instantly launch any app in variable sizes of real Galaxy Pop-up mode floating multi windows, in addition to providing dozens of their own original low kB mini-apps. Works great, saves time and effort, perfect size in an instant!
We do it all the time with our android phones but when we invert our Google Glass the Display does not Rotate. My gut tells me there is a way to do this simply by sending the right code via adb shell. Or side load an app that is GG compatible that will do the same thing. Please Help me with this. This is the only way I can use Google Glass with my Left Eye (I have astigmatism in my Right)
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to reply!

Good evening all.
I have, on a Xiaomi smartphone, deactivated the navigation bar in the lower part of the screen, and I activated the "Full screen mode", which allows you to navigate via gestures.
For example:
- A swipe from the border of the screen (left or right) to the center of the screen, to GO BACK.
- A swipe from the lower part of the screen to above, to go to the HOME SCREEN.
- A swipe from the lower part of the screen to the center, to open the TASK MANAGER.
- A swipe, with three fingers, from the upper part of the screen to the center, to take a snapshot of the screen.
And now, here comes my question: does Rog Phone 2 (china roms and/or global roms) has those gestures? And if not, is there a way to get them? I find them pretty useful.
Thanks in advice!
It has them but usually using another app also provides more custom gestures. Fluid gesture navigation and things like that.

Thanks for the answer.
Since I don't think it will be off-topic, can you mention some third-part applications which gives smooth/fluid gesture navigation, and it's not a burden for battery and/or ram for the Rog Phone 2?
Thanks in advice
Fluid gesture navigations is what I would recommend
How can I hide the nav bar so I can just use a different app? Are the adb drivers available for this phone yet?
Edit. I now see that adb is universal. Also I would recommend Vivid N.G. for a minimal style.
