[APP] Pie Control (no root required) - Nexus 7 Themes and Apps

While on G+, I came across this app by Coolace. It allows you to have Pie Controls even without root and the customization options are pretty good and easy to do. Check it out:

LMT needs root

LMT was pretty good, but I felt like the customization options on this app was more user friendly.... and doesn't require root.
Personally, I keep my on screen buttons most of the time, and when I use expanded desktop, I use Cyanogen's Pie.

you can hide that in app info, the only downside is that you cannot access the app settings. I dont use this app but thats what i read unless they updated to show up in the app drawer.
personally I don't like Unity launcher graphically, I use glovebox (which is also free with in app purchase) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.glovebox

{SOLVED} How to Program Multi-Window toggle into one of your LMT pie slices

I've been looking everywhere for an answer to this.. I'd like to be able to program one of the pie slices pull out the multi window tab instead of holding down the back button. For some reason whenever I use the back button, it messes with whatever I was doing and I thought that this would be a better way to utilize this pie function. Thanks in advance guys.I'm new to all this, I've looked throughout the forums for the specific script that pulls the multi window out because I know you can program LMT pie to do this, just gotta figure out the code. It's a pretty good idea!
I'm running JM 10, no Kernels ( haven't figured out how to install those or what they even do for me) if that helps.

Have you tried MyRom Revolution V5.1. The LMT Pie is included, and with the Aroma Package you can add other themes and some android 4.2 stuff(I personally just get the 4.2 camera for photosphere and the Big weather screen). There is also a number of kernels you can try to get better performance or battery life. Hope that was helpful.
Re: LMT pie launcher and Multi-Window function. Help?
I haven't tried that ROM myself. I'm new to the custom ROM and rooting scene.I had JM8 and then upgraded to JM10. I've got 4.2 photosphere and LMT pie on here as well. Works great. I'm basically just trying to make one of the pie slices pull the multi window tab out. Only reason I'm now trying out other ROMs is because I absolutely NEED WiFi calling in my area due to coverage issues.. but thanks!

I can't remember, but can't you program lmt to perform intents, actions, and shortcuts? If so, you could use tasker if all else fails. You also have gestures with lmt as well. Hope this helps.

Yes. You can program LMT to perform all of these functions, but the only thing is, I don't know what the command is to pull out the multi window tab. I'm hoping some developers could help me figure out the command so I can configure my LMT pie control to have a slice that would simply pull out the bar for me. It'd be quite convenient. What's this 'tasker' you were talking about though?

Re: LMT pie launcher and Multi-Window function. Help?
Bumping this up just once. I'm desperate! I need the command or script that pulls the multi window tab out or just toggles the multi window using LMT pie launcher. Thanks once again!
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Bump I would like this info as well
ive also been trying to get this to work as well trying to use the 'key' function which inputs a arbitrary key but havent found it that way. Not that it helps but lock screen is 6 and phone recents is 5
Also to get this working using tasker you would still need to know the activity..I use tasker and havent figured it there either. Plus i cant get any tasker tasks to run from pie commands yet
I probably should add im using a verizon phone and running jelly beans 12 ROM
Re: LMT pie launcher and Multi-Window function. Help?
Glad to hear I'm not the only one trying to figure it out. Basically all we need to figure out is the command that toggles the multi-window function just like a GPS toggle or a wifi toggle. I'm not smart enough to figure it out unfortunately.

Anyone can put Pie on any device and any ROM they want. Go to the Play Store and search for "Pie Control" or here is the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jun.ace.piecontrol
Looks slightly different due to the clock, but it is free and highly customizable. This is what it looks like on my Nex7 running CM10.1. Next pic is on my S3 running Tasks latest ROM.
How can we adjust the location of the icon.. some of the icons go over the edge lol
These color settings I found in this forum some where.
I can't find the exact post now.

Get more space screen with "Mipop" navigation

this tool is replace your navigation bar..
Install:copy to system/app/ set 644 and disable navigation bar in setting or change qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 in buildprop

its always there kinda like Halo but always visible in "Back" button mode. you then slide your finger on the "Back" button to expand to show other nav keys in picture
So more screen space means, transform screen space from nav bar to expandable sphere that also occupies screen space???
This is an interesting concept. Almost like the control on ios. I'll give this a try. I use pie exclusively.

U cant just select by swiping only..u have to swipe first then click on the button..it needs some feature changes, it would be better then.

hi guys
i was using this awesome app.. but it don't work on Omni rom.. isn't there a similar app?

Halo/PIE/Torch possible on sense?

Hey all, it's my understanding that Halo and PIE are built to work on AOSP based roms. I would love to go back to the stability and bonus features of sense, but having to have the menu button eyesore at the bottom of most apps is a deal-breaker. Is there any possibility of getting these addons working on a sense based rom? If not, are there any apps with similar features that can be used with sense?
I would also like to add a torch option on the quick settings menu if that could be done. I realize I can download a flashlight app, but I have been spoiled with having quick access to it on iOS 7 and AOSP.
Flash bonestock. It has a torch toggle, and also go to settings, display, and check "longpress home for menu"

Floating Notifications is an app that is as close as you can get to Halo. There is a free trial period for about 30 days.
As far as pie control, I think there is a launcher called LMT Launcher in the play store that has a pie-like fixture.

LMT launcher works, but it's not in the play store. it's on XDA though. just search for it.
pie control (which is in the play store) works as well, just not as neat as LMT.
sometimes, though, with LMT, it takes a few tries to get an app to start. it's annoying. if pie control showed the time and other notifications like LMT does, it'd be so much better.
Both of these look good. Do they allow you to disable the stock menu button?

My bad. It know it was included in a rom I was using at some point (can't remember which one) and it had been floating around in my TiB for a while now. I assumed it was available in play store as well.

Do you mean the three dots button? You can install a custom rom to do that or xposed has several modules that let you do that. Try Sense 5 Toolbox module.

there are no 3 dots on bottom of screen on my ROM.
technically yes, they can be ported, for example IHTFP69 ported HALO to TW on Samsung. No one said it could be done, he is a genius.
Try my ROM out, if you don't like it, try another.

Replying here instead of in your thread in case anyone else is searching for this answer.
I am loving the rom so far, but I have two questions. The menu bar is gone almost everywhere, but it's still present in dolphin browser. Is there any way to fix that? It doesn't show at all on AOSP. LMT launcher is every bit as good as pie and the menu button being there prevents it from working properly.
I also don't seem to have a torch/flashlight widget in the quick settings. There is an app though which I can make work for me if there's no way to get it in quick settings. Just a minor personal preference.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I got the menu bar removed by changing a setting under display and gestures. It has the unfortunate side effect of making a long press on the home key open the menu as well, but it's still better than the always-present menu button.
