Love the ROM. But I have a question, is there anyway to get rid of the search bar at the bottom? Also when I try to use my finger scan to unlock my phone the screen goes black and keeps going back to unlock screen and when I swipe I have to input my pin to actually get in the phone. Also no matter where you swipe up on the search bar to see your apps, it also activates the recent apps screen and the back button disappears. I'm still noticing more things and will report back.

The fingerprint one I'm not sure why its doing that. The recents app this is a pixel thing. If you pull up while in the home screen, it will pull up the recent apps. If you keep pulling only, does it open app drawer

This ROM looks very promising

update: I changed the launcher to the note 9 launcher and things are working. Only issue now is the camera closes when switching to front camera. I downloaded a camera program from the play store and all is well again.
Thank you and tonall those involved in the development of this ROM.

The network bars in status bars doesn't shows up correct symbol, it shows no signal symbols sims both sims

I also am showing no network bars. Just a circle with a line through it. I only have wifi symbol.

Overlapping notifications

So i have been modding my phone for a month now and have found several bugs that make thinks kind of difficult. I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 (GT-S7275R) and installed the Cyanogen 12.1 mod and latest kernel from Kotzir. The problem is when i get a notification in the drop down menu, it overlaps with the menu and the other notifications. I understand that the transparent theme may cause this "trick" of hiding the notification behind a menu may cause it to appear behind it, but it should scroll with the menu anyways. And besides that, in the notification area the notifications overlap as well. The standard music app even has 2 notifications overlap itself. So i think there is something wrong with the grid of the notifications? Some counter that's stuck or something? Other than that, the phone is really stable and battery life has extended by 150% so i am happy, but i don't like to have to manually open every app to see what is going on, even more so if you can only open it by the notification like USB settings and such.
(i would like to post pictures but since i am new here i have to make 10 post before i can. i will as soon as i can, sorry for that)
Thanks in advance
Nevermind
This from can be closed, i moved over to android 6.0 CM13. It doesn't have the problem.
However a bit more information for other people who want to stay at the CM12.1:
1: The problem seemed to happen whenever more then one app had a notification. Just one app after a fresh reboot didn't cause anything.
2: If you pressed where the icons should be, you would still select it. This means it was just rendered wrong. This would mean the grid is fine, but there is a bugg in drawing the notifications properly.
3: Sometimes the menu would freeze and the animation would hang but the menu would still be pushed upwards when swiped up. The menu would freeze causing you to only see a stripe with a half gear and the other icons but just at the top.
4: The clock becomes visible after turning the screen 90 degrees either way.
5: Restarting the GUI via the settings menu should solve the problem. The icons still work just image swiping down with your eyes closed. swipe all the way down and press the gear icon to open settings.
Thanks to the admin who placed it to the correct category anyways.
have a nice day everyone ^^

[Discussion] CM 12 on LG V10, G4 got CM12

Right now, I have a note 5 and seriously considering buying the LG V10 after seeing the promo of the 200 GB SD card.
I am not a developer myself, but do you foresee the V10 getting cm12 since the G4 is getting it. Specs are pretty close (except the second screen of course). I like the option to go on stock android once in a while without breaking the budget with 2 or 3 phones.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/official-cm-nightlys-t3241157
One can only hope. The biggest hurdle is going to be the second screen. If they can find a way to either disable or find a way utilize the screen that would be awesome too

yeah, i am debating getting the v10 from the note 5, not crazy about the pen. only if tmobile has the nexus 6.
Dang, I can't screenshot this as the second screen doesn't appear on the screenshot, but When I swipe up from the status bar while on the home screen it moves the status bar to the second display.
I can see CM 12 or any ROM go this route and I like it! I'll see if i can take a picture with another device.

I am on Nova. I can see CM 12 be like so.
Nova did this for me as well once I chose to hide the status bar. I would love to have my status bar up there permanently.
Doesn't work for me either, using nova.

What version of the v10 are you using? I tried nova and his my status bar but unable to Reigate still. Mostly just curious at this point.
Ok I think I got this. Seems to be repeatable. First off T-Mobile V10, unlocked, rooted, all xposed modules disabled for testing purposes. Hide status bar in nova launcher, the go to phone settings > Display > Home touch buttons > hide home touch buttons > select nova launcher. Your second display will go blank when you are at the launcher screen. No shortcuts, no sig, nothing, tap on it, it should show your status bar for a second or two. When you open an app it'll revert to showing whatever pages you have active.
Really hope CM can utilize the second screen! unused hardware just taking up space on my phone doesn't sound attractive

Same here man. Just got the V10 coming from the Note 5. I liked the Note 5 but didn't love it because there is no hope at all for any CM. Looks like we can get a CM once things pick up.

Ah, ok. This works on anything that hides the home buttons. Just tested with Smart Launcher and it works as well. Also in Play Books the status bar will move to the second screen when tapped. Stays on for a second or two and then fades out.
So, I got CM12 to compile and put me into a boot loop!
Step one done.
Step two: Free my schedule so I can start working on CM12 for the V10.
If any dev has started a Git repo for anything V10 CM12 related, shoot me a message so I could get in on it.

After sleep deprived splashing things together and going through freezing on the splash screen, it got to the splash screen then rebooted itself multiple times.
I consider that a positive incremental step in the wrong direction.
Most of my work is just mirroring the h811 cyanogenmod work and adjusting all relevant settings to the h901.
It is probably not the way to go, but I'm a little crunched on time between work and work.

I get to the splash and then thrown into fastboot mode and stuck there. H901 kernel source is posted, I think that's gonna be the difference. The devices are so similar. I wish I knew more about kernel stuff

System-UI stopped on startup

Hi XDA!
Big quest, my System-UI doesn't work anymore. The error already appears on startup.
What doesn't work anymore? Well, I'm using a Galaxy S7 Edge and my left button (recent apps) doesn't work anymore. Also, when I swipe down status screen with quick access to BT, Wifi, Flashlight and such I cant edit the schortcuts anymore and I can't extend this drop down menu.
Ok, so I'm using SuperMan ROM. I add a screenshot of the drop down menu for you guys.
I tried to add screens but the new user rule won't let me attach.
So hopefully can someone help me fix this problem.

[Discontinued] [OFFICIAL XDA] Navigation Gestures - Get iPhone X/OnePlus style gesture control

Jealous of the cool new gesture navigation feature on the Apple iPhone X, Android P, or OnePlus 5T/OnePlus 6? With Navigation Gestures, you don't have to go out and buy a new phone if you want to change the way you use your phone. This app brings gesture navigation to any Android device!
Best of all, with Navigation Gestures you can completely hide the stock navigation bar without root! This is the only gesture control app with this feature.
Swipe left, right, up, or down. Swipe up and hold. Tap. Double tap. Long press. There's a lot of ways you can interact with the gesture bar to control your phone. Don’t like how the gesture bar looks? You can customize its appearance! Here’s what you can do:

Screenshot****
* Media actions are not guaranteed to work with every app. Media actions use standard Android APIs to work with most apps.
** If you notice that an app is "slow" to launch after using the pill to trigger the home button, that's because of an obscure change made all the way back in Android 4.4 KitKat. Unless you have this Xposed Module or a custom ROM installed with the patch, there's no way around it.
***Lock Screen is compatible with the vast majority of devices. How it works is like this: Makes screen brightness and display timeout minimum and then displays a fullscreen black activity until the phone actually enters sleep mode from the timeout (~5 seconds.) There are other ways to lock the screen but we decided against them, at least for this release.
****Screenshot action uses the MediaProjection API, which is normally used to record the screen. Here, we just record the screen for a single frame. This is the only way pre-Android P for it to work. Screenshots are saved to /Pictures/NavigationGestures

Frequently Asked Questions
Help, I uninstalled the app and I can't access my navigation bar anymore!
Please connect to your computer and run the following command:
Code:
adb shell wm overscan reset
Help, I uninstalled the app and the original navigation bar keeps hiding itself!
Please connect to your computer and run the following command:
Code:
adb shell settings delete global policy_control
Can we add a feature where the pill is in its own separate area so it doesn't overlap with certain UI elements?
No, sorry. We are already pushing the screen content down to hide the nav bar. Adding this feature would require us to push the screen content up as well. We can’t have it both ways.
There's a "white line" at the bottom of the screen!
This is NOT a bug. This is a side-effect of a change we intentionally made after version 1.0.0 because without it, many Samsung, Motorola, and Xiaomi devices were reporting major bugs (eg. black screen after unlocking which made the phone unusable.) The “white line” is caused by the navigation bar being hidden 99.99% but not 100% (ie. we hiding the navigation bar entirely except for 1 pixel.) So the “white line” is actually just your navigation bar that’s colored white. We added an Experimental Setting called "Use Full Overscan" which gets rid of the white line. Use it at your own risk.
Pill doesn't work with Samsung DeX/Samsung Good Lock!
Android prevents third-party apps from showing overlays on top of SystemUI apps like the status bar and lock screen. You can use the blacklist function in Behavior settings to make the original nav bar show in these apps.
Pill doesn't show when you open the camera from the lock screen, answer a call from the lock screen, or open a notification for quick reply from the lock screen!
Android prevents third-party apps from showing overlays on top of SystemUI apps like the status bar and lock screen. This also includes calls, apps, or notifications answered from the lock screen. The pill cannot be shown until you unlock the device.
Pill doesn't show in Facebook Messenger, Drupe, or other floating apps!
Go to Experimental Settings and select the "Keep Pill Shown in other Overlay Apps." Pick Messenger, Drupe, etc. in this list.
Pill doesn’t work with screen pinning.
We have no way of simulating a long press on the back button without root. A tentative solution we are looking into is detecting when the phone enters a pinned screen state and disabling the pill to bring back the stock nav bar.
Home action doesn't work on the OnePlus 5!
OxygenOS prevents the app from performing the home action if you both enable the software navigation bar and disable the "always enable home button" option in Button settings. To fix this, please enable the "always enable home button" option.
Pill keeps "jumping" up and down with the navigation bar!
This means you either enabled Immersive Mode manually (ie. not from the app) or another app triggered Immersive Mode which is interfering with our app. Here are some possible causes and solutions:
Nova Launcher: In the "Notification Bar" section under "Look & Feel," there may be a "Hide Navigation Bar" option. If there is, check to make sure that it is disabled.
LG G6/LG V20/LG V30/LG G7 ThinQ: Go to*Settings > Display > Home touch buttons > Hide Home touch buttons and disable the "lock/hide icon" option up top and uncheck every app in the list.
Samsung Galaxy S8/Samsung Galaxy Note 8/Samsung Galaxy S9: Go to*Settings > Display > Nav Bar > Show and Hide Button and turn off the toggle up top and uncheck every app in the list.
Feature requests
Is it possible to keep the pill in the same spot when rotating the screen?
We will be adding this as a feature in a future release.
Can we add an action to launch a shortcut/activity?
Yes, that is planned for a future release (premium.)
Can we add Tasker integration?
Yes, that is planned for a future release (premium.)
Can we add a swipe down and hold gesture?
Yes, that is on our todo list.

There's no difference with running this on a rooted device right now except it'll make setup easier (you don't need to use your PC for set up if you're rooted.)
In a future release we may allow for shortcuts/intents to be sent so you can customize the action to your heart's content (and potentially use root to do more actions.)
Also, if there's enough demand we may use input KeyEvent commands to inject button presses rather than the Accessibility API. This should give better performance but it requires root. It's not something we've implemented yet though.

Hi !
First of all thanks for your job !
I want to report a bug on Note 8 Oreo. There's a problem with Samsung Internet and Touchwiz launcher.
I've attached a picture of the issue

Well, for me is no big deal. But for others, running ADB could be. I don't think it's right to not be able to skip that permission, since, you can(almost) disable completely the taskbar..
when the typing, pill is up-on the keyboard. it must always be in the bottom.
Wow.. cool :good:

That is very strange. This seems to only be happening on Samsung phones. We asked Max Weinbach who has an S9 to test it and he never had this issue. We'll have to figure out why that happens.
Thanks for this app, I'm having fun playing with it.
Using it on Oneplus 5t oreo stable 5.1.1 magisk root, all permissions granted, premium addon installed, nova launcher beta.
When I set the vibration to 0ms when I exit that page of settings the vibration gets automatically reset to the default 50ms.
This does not seem to occur on any setting from 1ms upwards. I am interested to see if anyone else can reproduce this behaviour.
The way the pill works with SwiftKey keyboard is interesting, perfectly functional but not an ergonomic location on a longer screen for me.
Edit: ninja'd by the OP, see why you've done it that way with the keyboard now.

I see now. It only happened when doing gesture up on the screen for "All Apps" the only way for me to make it normal again by turn the the screen off and turn it on again.
anyone know how to turn off that system prompt displaying over other applications on notification? kinda annoying...btw using emui 8 oreo 8.1
Working fine on my Xperia Z5 running stock nougat...
Pill on top of the Keyboard is the safest position in my opinion to avoid accidentally pressing it when tapping the space key..
I hope you can introduce more swiping features in your future updates.
Great work.
Edit:
In some games the pill disappears completely leaving no option to exit the game. What I did was to go to settings via control pannel.

Recents are blank?

Since pie, recents are sometimes blank, not showing a preview at all. See screenshot.
Happens to me too on some apps. Maybe the app needs to be updated.
The blank recents happens to me also. I never have a card for Spotify.
The other problem I have is no way to clear all recents at once. Notice in the ss that the white circle with red x is missing.
I'm on stock beta 3 with a clean install.

I got this issue once in final Pie release.
Just rebooted the phone and all get back to normal (at least for now).
The update to P was very quick, we will probably find some more issues.
