Hi all, with the update that enabled the use of air trigger for scrolling, theoritically, can we access this function to use it in scrolling on other apps? example reading an article and sliding your finger on the side to scroll down the page.
Will be great if it works

This is just a brilliant idea from u champ. With the way this phone is held in portrait mode this will seriously help in scrolling with the side triggers. I hope they will include such an idea in the future updates. Let's start talking about it too get it!
Can you add the app to game genie theb map it? Like have chrome set to use the game genie app/overlay then have it slide?

unfortunately, air trigger only works in landscape mode. This would have worked if it allows air trigger in portrait mode.

Oh! That means I cannot use them as app shortcuts e.g to open Contacts?

I was wondering if there was a way to lock apps in landscape mode? For instance, maps. When using maps to navigate I like the phone to be in landscape but it will jump between portrait and landscape with the slightest movement of my leg (the phone is sitting on my leg while I drive) and it gets pretty annoying while trying to follow directions.
I wish.
Apps don't have to be written to be in whatever view. So it can't be forced.
And I've always wanted a root permission that could force apps in landscape but it's never happened.

Look what I found.
"Also, apps that use the accelerometer directly to reorient themselves sometimes compete with the system doing the same thing, with odd results. And finally, some apps that use the accelerometer to detect things like shaking motions and that don't lock their orientation to portrait or landscape, often end up flipping back and forth between orientations. This can be irritating to the user. (You can lock your app's orientation to portrait or landscape using the 'android:screenOrientation' attribute in your AndroidManifest.xml.)"
1) Open the keyboard. There, stuck in landscape.
2) Hack the XML.

The OP doesn't have a keyboard to open (MT3G), so option 1 is out.
This is the DREAM forum. It is therefore, a perfectly valid answer.
For questions about MAGIC, he should go to the MAGIC forum.

Option (2) actually isn't difficult.
I saw once an app/mod that hides the soft buttons and you can get access to them by swiping your finger from the bottom of the screen upwards, much like the quick controls on Android browser, it seems very cool, any way to get it working on our XZ?? :fingers-crossed:

- If you, like me, get annoyed by the soft-buttons at the bottom of the page staying there far too much, there is a way to get rid of them. Download and install Button Saviour, then grab the FullScreenToggle apk from this thread, and Bob’s your slightly-better-endowed-with-screen-real-estate uncle.

Exactly, fullscreen toggle + buttonsavior. I even concealed status bar and get instead some battery widget and phone signal widget etc. Absolutely full screen lol. I use RomAur 1.3.2.
I use the LMT with the fullscreen apk, so that you can get the PIE controls! When I swipe up from the bottom, I get all the controls I need, and it's very intuitive! More screen real estate! :good:
Great share, thanks guys!
Just using the fullscreen app and it works great, playing ScummVM is so much better now.
Kind regards, Stefan.
I damaged the bottom part of my phone
I wanted to know a few applications that can help me use the phone for basic functions like WA and calling.
I am on MIUI8 and I have enabled the Quick Ball, any other such applications will be helpful.
You could try a couple of different things.
Pie controls app lets you access a lot of things by touch.
Swiftkey in floating mode to type
Screen rotation controls app to rotate screen 360 degrees depending on how much the bottom part is broken. (Be careful else you will be stuck 360 until in uninstall the app, as the shortcut to switch back is in the notification bar)
Arrow launcher from Microsoft . Access as lot of things from the home screens.
I will let u know if I remember more applications.

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).

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

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!
Not long got this phone starting to get things done........ my way
Removed Bloated Apps
Settings changed for better battery usage

Any help would be appreciated

You mean like in the screen I attached?
This is the knuckle gesture feature. There are gestures for taking screenshots, split view and others for use with your finger knuckles.
If you have it while you're scrolling your fingers are so hard that the screen thinks it's a knuckle. Maybe you have long finger nails or scarf-skin?
You can disable this under ‘Settings’ > ‘Smart assistance’ > ‘Motion control’.
