[REQUEST]Virtual Home - Use your touch ID as a home button - Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps

Hi guys [emoji4]
Now that exposed is available for our s6, i would like to have an app that allows to go home tapping the button instead of pressing it... Is it possible to have something like that? I mean something like double tap of iPhone 6 plus.
Thanks to all devs

My thoughts exactly!!
I would love to have something like that, so you don't actually need to press the home button, but just touch it!

But wouldn't that interfer with the fingerprint? When you touch the sensor to unlock or anything similar the touch would brng you back to your homescreen.

I don't really know.. But I know there is an Jailbreak tweak out for the iPhones, that simulates exactly what I am looking for.
Here is the link for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzUoMUFVYVE
I've had many Samsung phones before, and after a while my home button always started to make funny noises (like cracking a bit, or not being sturdy anymore..)
I know that S6 home button is high quality and all that, but I would still prefer "simulated" press on the home button.
And I am sure that it can be done, it just takes someone who knows how to do it, and wants it as much as I / we do.
Maybe the OP should change the name of the thread to "Virtual Home - Use your touch ID as a home button" So more people could see it.
That being said, I would also like to know if there is any xposed module out to change the animation of unlocking on the lockscreen... Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRMF6CQAdEQ (Ken Dai Video).. So you could put the fingerprint icon on the lockscreen, and it would make a similar effect..
Maybe I am just "shooting to the moon" but I sure hope it can be done! I think everything is possible, as long as it interest the right people..
Also I am wondering if it's possible to set pattern unlock like for the OnePlus 2.

(I know there is a code right here, but I saw it in a video that you can use fingerprint + pattern unlock)
And I sure do hope that someone, someday will be able to port stock Android M to our device as it will have native fingerprint support!
Cheers!

Sorry if i answer now, but i wasn't home... Btw i changed the name of thread hoping to make it more understandable

No worries man! I just hope someone has the same wish as us, and makes it happen

will be great if the phone can be unlocked when you put your finger on home button without need to press it before that
and ofcourse to unlock only with the selected fingers
to prevent unwanted unlocks

[MOD] [WIP] Notification Power Control

Hey guys,
I came from the samsung fascinate (where i did some mods). I'm trying to get the power control mod notification menu for the droid x working. I could use some help, i messaged JsChiSurf to get some more info; but if anyone is already working on this here, and would like to collaborate please send me a message.
Thanks
Reserved.....
i had the captivate and i miss those things too but i found a program called power control plus. It does the same thing but once you set the toggles your cant delete them unless u uninstall the whole program and reinstall

The true power menu like what comes on the Galaxy phones is MUCH more elegant than that.
I came from a Captivate and I miss it bad. I still pull the notification bar down out of habit to toggle different things.
I will be watching this.
Quick Settings is pretty good too and its free. Maybe not as nice as the one on GS phones.

I use an app called "Extended Controls"... it is very similar, but after trying both I found it to be a bit better (more features overall, but color selection on indicators is limited)
Extended Controls /=/ Notification Power Control
I use Extended Controls as well but it is *not* the same thing as what is being requested in this thread. A mod like this already exists on the EVO and DInc...and it is quite handy (plus it frees up some space on your screen.
Hope this gets worked out for the X b/c I'm sure waiting for it...patiently/impatiently

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I believe the reason why Cyanogen isn't on the DX is because of the inability to load custom kernels onto the DX.
ohh I didn't know anything about that but it would make sense.. that's kind of a bummer.. it'd be nice to see the lockscreen with the messaging and phone slide tab as well

Maybe I'm not understanding something, but how do you get the Power Control widget into the notification pulldown?

Lock screen Idea

I think it would be pretty sweet to get a lock screen that "scanned your fingerprint".
I know there is probably no way for the Xoom to actually do that but seems like something cool.
I am thinking like a button you touched with a slider of light that starts slightly above and "scans" down then back up... maybe a second and a half delay....
Sounds like a pretty cool idea. And it might be possible. I'll see if I can come up with something to add to my current project.
Just a little test trial. Worked out pretty nicely to be honest. Might try to enhance it in the near future if there's a high demand for it. Here's a couple screen shots.

I'm glad you like it. I will put it in an .zip and PM you after I get off work. Also i'll have a full theme for tiamat rom within a few days or so depending on how busy I get. Still unsure if I will have this lock screen as default on it, as it still needs to be customized a bit.
For those of you that wanted the lock screen, i've added it to the stock framework for tiamat 1.1 rom only. All you have to do is use root explorer or something similiar and move the file in to /system/framework/ and overwrite the existing framework-res.apk.
If you have a special request for this in a different rom, or stock files just ask. I can easily add it. If you use it, and enjoy it, than don't forget to thank.
Now is this a just for fun anyones finger placed on their will unlock it or is it so only ur fingerprint can unlock it...or is that even possible.

What about facial recognition using the front facing camera?
I love the whole idea.
To add to it, create an invisible hotspot, say the bottom left corner.
You have to hold here and then scan your finger print.
If you only scan it fails, if you hold the magic spot and scan, it passes.
Could you incorporate this with the security features of the Xoom, instead of the pattern lock!?!?!?

That is an cool idea...in fact it maybe could be intergrated into a app for multi-touch android devices.

It should work with XoomZone. I'm not sure what other modifications he has done to the framework-res.apk, so if he has any extras it could possible wipe them out and put you back on a stock tiamat 1.1 framework.
If you run something other than tiamat rom just pm me with your info and ill put it in the correct framework.
works good with XoomZone. It does however remove alot of the Blue themeing.
Looks Great!
This looks pretty great! Will it work on a stock rooted wifi 3.2?

NO! I do not suggest replacing the 3.2 framework with the old 3.1. Unfortunately Verizon is being retarded and hasn't released 3.2 for 3g models yet. As soon as this becomes readily available for me I will make some adjustments and create a thread with modifications for every version.

My wife's new HP computer uses the built-in webcam to do facial recognition to log her in. The software is called HP ProtectTools I think.. but instead of just using the fingerprint reader to allow login.. it took about 15 pictures of her face. Then when she has to log in, she clicks the facial option and the webcam turns on. It logged her in instantly. She can still use the fingerprint or manually type in a keyword in case the facial recognition doesn't work.
That would be a cool addition.

Try visidon app lock...(search in the market).....it locks app.... uses face recognition......but you could use it just after unlocking the normal lock screen by keeping an app running in the background( the app shouldd be ticked in the checklist of the app lock and it should work with multitasking.....)....
I Hope this helps....

Little things 4.4 has that you've always wanted stock

I'll start...
T9 dialer, I noticed the other day I don't have to scroll through a list of thousands of contacts or search names, I can just open the dialer press 726 and Ramiro shows as the contact. Or 666 and Mom is who I see. 262 gets me Amanda. Etc. This is something I've been waiting for Google to implement since I got into android, so fairly exciting.
What else have you guys found?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Last check 4.3 and i think even 4.2 had the smart dialer (T9). I guess i don't have "thousands" of contacts in my phone so maybe that's why i didn't really need/use it.
They have upped the ante massively with voice recognition and particularly voice search with it being in my opinion the killer feature of 4.4. Google now while improved is still an annoying intrusion that I disabled after a day. I disliked it immediately but like to give these things a little time to see if they grow on me. The GEL is an embarrassing failure in my opinion and someone should lose their job for thinking it would be a good idea to fix the search bar on any screen let alone all of them. I know 2 others now with the N5 and we all kicked the launcher to the curb in short order.
One thing that I've seen little talk of is the stock dialer. I'm not actually sure if it's kit Kat or Google? I expected to dislike it but I actually like it and have continued to use it. It has some flaws like not searching the call log but the ability to start typing in the name of a local place and have it's number pop up before you can finish is very useful and if it wasn't for the amazing voice search (which also works in the dialer) I would probably list the dialer as the single best stock feature.

Haven't heard of this can you explain further? Double tap just auto zooms when I try it on websites.
Voice control and specifically sending a txt msg completely by voice gets my vote.

I've installed the app and can't find that setting anywhere - or the small screen one?
I couldn't find the analog clock in any hidden settings on a H830, but it could be a difference in the T-Mobile variant.

Use an app (there's one I linked in the previous post) to find shortcuts. Most are buried in settings so scroll down to settings.

It's inside the settings app. Use quickshortcutmaker to search through the settings app.
It doesn't work unfortunately but there's tons of weird stuff in there. Lots of hidden settings and the likes.

Nav bar...

Forgive me not finding it, I did look, but I thought I recall seeing people talking about how to change the color and behavior of the nav bar on the Mi Mix (bar with home, back, menu buttons). I think I would prefer if it was just always dark and maybe also always present. Looking for options to play with.

Would love that too. I normally have everything at least darkened but not white. Unfortunately I think you can't change menu and NavBar Color on your own but only with a theme which changes everything and (mostly) has to be "bought" with mi credits. Very frustrating.
Hope someone has a better answer.
I'm using Xposed and a module called flat color bar... It colors the navbar to match whatever app you are using. Requires root tho obviously.

I just took Nav Bar completely off, i know you said you want it to present all the time, but to me, taking it off extend the screen and you get to see more. I have been using it like this for few days now, imo so much better than having that bar there. Amazing to have all apps in completely full screen.
You use that dial thing for navigation, or what?

I use float menu, no overlay, just simple swipe and it's exactly the same as having the nav bar. but you at least extend the screen to be totally full screen on all apps

Forgive me not finding it, I did look, but I thought I recall seeing people talking about how to change the color and behavior of the nav bar on the Mi Mix (bar with home, back, menu buttons). I think I would prefer if it was just always dark and maybe also always present. Looking for options to play with.

There's an app called Navbar Apps that lets you change the color of the navbar without root. Though it has a problem with the Mi Mix since the navbar is rounded. Where the radious begins and below it on the navbar it will always be white so it looks a little weird on this phone unfortunately.

You can just swipe it away and it will stay away and use the "Quick Ball" instead.
If you are rooted there is an easier way using xposed framework, just download and install " force immersive mode" which gives you glorious full screen for what ever app you wish.....ive enabled it and it's absolutely awesome...the nav and status bars just disappear till you need them.

Hi, Not able to do this in Vendor ROM. Not getting any swipe option.
I am awaiting unlock code from xiaomi for last 3 days :crying:, hence can't go to EU ROM yet.

I was looking all over but this. After hiding even the black bar went off. Very happy now.
Will wait for unlock, install EU rom, nova launcher and desktop visualizer to create invisible icons.
Then entire screen will be clean as slate.
Thanks once again.
you can change its color and or presence permanently IF you unlock the bootloader and root the device. Personally I am going to go the non root method and just have it hide whenever possible. I see no reason to risk anything root /bootloader wise just to change what should be an option already in the ui.
