Edge Navi (Edge navigation panel with Back Button etc) - Note Edge Themes and Apps

Hey guys
I'm new here, so I don't know if this is the right place to post these kinds of threads or may violate minor rules,
so I apologize in advance.
I made an app called "Edge Navigation Bar" and what it does is, it adds an edge panel that has recent apps, home, and back buttons.
I made this app solely for individual use purpose and then thought why don't I share it? So I post this thread.
As I said, this app was made for individual use purpose, and still in progress, so it may contain some glitches,
so let me know by posting replies should there be an issue.
It is free of charge, of course, with no ads so it should serve well as a substitute before some neat apps are developed.
Have a good day!

Pro version is out!
Pro version has all the functionalities of basic version, plus full customizability.
You can register custom buttons with custom actions, icons, colors, placement and etc.
Support the developer, help him earn his daily bread!
Add an Edge Navigation Panel to your Galaxy Note Edge that has a notification / recent apps / home / back / lock button on it!
The panel shown in the first image, is panel 1.
Panel 1 has 5 buttons: 1.Red Stripe, 2.Yellow Layer, 3.Blue Home, 4.Green Backspace, 5.White Lock.
1.Red Stripe: shows Notification Bar (double clicking will show Quick Settings)
2.Yellow Layer: calls Recent Apps
3.Blue Home: functions as Home Button
4.Green Backspace: functions as Back Button
5.White Lock: flips the panel (double clicking will lock the device)
If flipped from panel 1, panel 2 is shown.
Panel 2 has 5 buttons: 1.Red Layer with Slash, 2.Yellow Up Arrow, 3.Blue Camera, 4.Green Down Arrow, 5.White Lock.
1.Red Layer with Slash: kills background apps, clear memory cache
2.Yellow Up Arrow: volume up
3.Blue Camera: execute stock camera app
4.Green Down Arrow: volume down
5.White Lock: flips the panel (double clicking will lock the device)
If flipped again from panel 2, panel 1 will be shown.
To uninstall this app, you have to undo the 3rd Step.
This app was tested on Samsung Galaxy Note Edge SKT (SM-N915S)
Any attempt to install and run this app on any devices other than Note Edge will cause CTD

Good work! Thanks!!

Thank you, looks good. Will try it out when my Note Edge arrives.
You may want to change the name of your app to include "Note Edge" so it can be found more easily. I have been looking in Google Play for apps for the Note Edge and would never have found this if it wasn't for this post.

Thanks a lot.
I thought referring to Galaxy Note Edge in the description would work but clearly it didn't.
I changed the name to "Galaxy Note Edge Navigation"

Would it be possible to add a menu button?

I have searched and searched to find a way to implement custom soft menu
without root permission but dead end
If you can guide me the way I can definitely make one
Non generic way would suffice if there is general solution
since this app is only for galaxy note edge

This is something nice to have if you guys have root. search xda: LMT Launcher. Fully customizable , must have app for rooted phones.

Love the idea man. Great work. Its like a nav bar on the side. Hey any chance you can make this with Material L design icons, and maybe a simple backround even transparent would be cool. Im willing to donate to the cause. Thanks a lot...??

honeybar true fullscreen

Honeybar is a good app to hide/unhide the notification bar in android 3.2. Its great but i have noticed a little lag. Anyone else notice this?
I have been using HoneyBar for a day now. I haven't noticed any slowing of my A100 - what exactly do you mean by "lag"?
Some applications are not optimized for the tablets full resolution an in turn lags/stutters/run slow.... I also use Honeybar allot but can't in some games
Sent from Wicced's rooted A100 16gb HoneyComb 3.2 using XDA PREMIUM
Input lag, menu lag. Its not real bad, but its there.
Honeybar although does the job causes stutter in home and app drawer. Just glad I only paid $1. I use this one called HideBar and doesn't affect performance at all and ofcourse no lag and better interface to hide and several options to unhide. And its free! Kudos to the dev.

I think we need to change thread title to just "true full screen"
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
man, lag is definitely something annoying.
but whats worse, is on portrait mode, you can't click recent app button without triggering the hide bar button!!
contact the dev today, and we'll see what happens
@aznmode thanks for the info about Hidbar, will check it and report back, definitely worth the try
update:
tried the app, and looks GREAT
on both landscap and portrait mode, but i hoped it wasn't with a notification bar (less stack)

What do you mean less stacked? I love hide bar. I'm thinking about creating a new thread for it. Since this thread title is Honeybar specific.
we should start up a new thread for all the various tweeks found scattered throughout this forum. Although once I get around to zipaligning and deodexing this rom I'm going to try to release it as a one stop solution. You'll just have to push the system.img file through adb (I hope it works).

well, with the additional icon for the tweak(to click on and hide). I just didn't like more stuff on my tab bar!
i think it would be great if someone could get the home button to hide and unhide the bar at bottom. Make it a full screen button. Could it be done?

Thats true theres already a lot of stuff in the task bar BUT the taskbar is always there no matter what app you're in so its quicker access. Id rather it be there than to have another button floating around my screen or to have it as a widget.
Maybe if you have a better idea how to activate/deactivate it we can email the developer to see what he can do?

I totally agree and I posted this question before in the how to edit home button thread. I tried editing home function and point to the directory of hidebar but that didn't work. But again I was just guessing on my part. I'm sure there has to be a way.

An extra icon isnt so bad IMO. As far as making the home button hide/unhide is a good idea but I like having the home button be a home button when I have the status bar hidden. So when I'm in full screen and I need to go home I just press it. Otherwise Id have to press it to enable status bar, then press home on the status bar, then press it again to disable status bar to go back to full screen. So for me this would be 50/50 advantage.

I can easily make a modified version of the application to hard code our home button in there to hide/unhide the taskbar,but I don't want to face being banned because I "stole" code. Anyway I would just like to give back to the community because of people like crossix stepping up.
Never mind I looked and see the code on github I'll have something soon hopefully

Juja's Xposed mods for the HTC ONE

I will use this thread to upload Xposed mods for the HTC ONE.
1. RecentsKillAll (v1.1)
The default recents app in HTC ONE displays the nine most recent apps as cards which can be removed by swiping each one up. This mod adds a kill all button which will kill all apps on the recents screen in one shot.
Changelog
v1.1 : Increased close button size.
Added Google edition support and sense AOSP recents support.
2. HeadsetMod
Double pressing the button on the headset by default dials the most recent number in the call log. While this might be a nifty feature, it comes as an annoyance while listening to music. This mod removes that behavior while music is playing and allows the player to move on to the next track. Additionally triple pressing the headset button goes to the previous track (or to the start of current track depending on current play position). In short this mod brings in headset button functionality similar to that on iPhones (Volume buttons not supported).
Note: This mod works only for the default music player. Let me know if support is needed for any third party music player. I will try to add it in future versions.
3. EQS Pulldown
On AOSP, pulling down the status bar from left shows the default notification drawer and pulling down from right shows the EQS screen. This mod brings a similar feature to sense. Pulling down from the center of the status bar shows EQS drawer and pulling anywhere else shows the default notification drawer. A minor tweak but useful for people who are used to the default AOSP style.
4. Remove Contacts Dot Filter
This mod removes the HTC style dot filter applied to blurred images in dialer, contacts and phone screen.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Install instructions.
1. Install Xposed framework.
2. Install the apk.
3. Enable it in Xposed installer.
4. Reboot.
Note: These mods are only for the HTC ONE.
If it doesnt work on your HTC ONE please let me know. I ll look into it.
As always, take a backup before trying this out (shouldn't be necessary but just in case).

Just a thought here..... this thread will probably do better in the Themes and Apps section, it's more appropriate and will get more notice.
In this section it's more likely to slide down the list into obscurity due to the large volume of new threads opened here.

I don't know about the GE editions but I can confirm that this works fine in ARHD 20.0 which is 4.3 based Sense.
Works great on ARHD 13.3, thanks.:good:
Working perfectly on InsertCoin. Thank you.
Boomed From My Boombastic !!! HTC ONE !!!
Thank you very much! Perfect mod, exactly what I have been looking for (you always wonder why something as simple & smart as this is not included in Sense right from the beginning). The only thing I am missing is the option to change the look/design of the small x-icon, as it seems somehow blurred ...
Anyone know if this works with Google Music? If not, is the dev able to make it work?
Thank you so much! I was looking for HeasetMod like this an age already. :victory:
HeadSetMod works great with Viper, thx!
Thanks for the kill all recent apps mod, I was looking for smth like this.

Tested on Google Music - the double click works fine, but the triple click only forwards+pauses playback (i.e. acts as a double + single click). Would be good if the dev could look into this. Thanks.

Needs way to arrange the apps in the order you like but good other than that(Lists in order you add them at the moment)

Great find! And they say the edge isn't very functional.. lol
Thanks! This adds much functionality to the opposite edge and enables both sides to be utilized. I'll be curios to see what the battery consumption (if any) is.
I just downloaded and am going to give it a try, thanks.
I don't want to jump the post but I think since its in the same vein those playing with this sort of thing might want to give Swipepad a spin around the block. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.conduction.swipepad.android You have to buy into a number of different add on apps to get full functionality and I think the buy in is too steep for what you get but if the stock functions work for you it can be a nice add. Right now I have it set up as a grid of work contacts and it functions well in that use.
Edit... Ok, fiddled with the app, totally dig it. If the guy keeps going with it he has a winner.
It just needs more functionality otherwise it is the best i could have found. Thanks to the app developer
Great find, been looking for something similar to when I had my note edge. Started to live by the edge... This brings me that much close to it. Wish we could get/extract a working apk from the note edge. I tried to take the sidepanel.apk but I didn't take... Any thoughts?
Perfect app for the edge....just have to block notifications for it to get rid of the constant stat bar icon. Thanks for the find!

Go into your application manager in settings. Then choose this app and uncheck notifications.
Hold down tap on notification and select 'i' and then disable notifications for program.

You want the Butter Mod? How would you hold on to it?
a couple that come to mind right away would be to have the edge bring up apps for multi-screen, another would be jsut to have it bring up recents, then remap the recent button to menu.
would be great is somehow the edge screen could be on everytime the main screen is on, without any other user intervention..
thanks

I agree with this x100 for notifications. The whole swiping back and forth is stupid and cumbersome. I currently use an app called " no led" to show my notifications, but it would be awesome to have them just always scroll across the edge screen.

Moved from S4 to S6 edge - love the device except for 3 things - no continuous scroll of pages / screens - no voice control for alarm clock / music and can't sort apps alphabetically - not sure if this is the right place to post this but worth a try - i am a major noob with android but is it possible to copy the code for these options from an s4 to s6 - another lower priority one would be glance view - i know they tried to cut bloatware from touchwiz but to me these were excellent features

Actually, I have one request which @dsexton702 already knows about, but just to give you all an idea of what this thread is for. Edge on both sides at the same time with different functions on each side instead of just using one side at a time.
Hardware huh... LEDs!!!!!!!!

Kill App option for Nav bar?

I have seen a few discussions about the topic of getting the Kill App option for the Nav bar. Holding the back button would be the ideal implementation for me. I find it much quicker than going to recent apps and flicking away the app that I want to kill.
I have not found an answer on how I might do this on the Pixel 3. Seems like Oreo had a Developer Option that was removed in Pie.
A Gesture app seems like one approach, but I would like to hear from others on how you do it?
Thoughts?

Hey, do you mean that you want to kill all recents by long pressing the back button?
If so, I had a quick look and basically a third party app can't really do that because in java the REMOVE_TASKS option is a signature-level permission. This means the app needs to be signed by the same signing key as the device firmware. In short, a rom developer could implement this, but not a third party developer.
In short, maybe a request to your rom dev is the way to go!

If you're rooted you can setup Active Edge to kill the foreground app (I have it setup for a long squeeze to kill the app) or use One Plus Gestures and enable kill foreground app for one of the gestures.

I just want holding the BACK button to kill the current app on the Screen.
It is a setting that GravityBox allows and comes in handy to quickly exit an active application. I hope we see this feature on the Pixel 3 XL custom ROM that will be coming out.

Are you using Edge Sense Plus to set this up? Sounds like a good approach.

Awesome. Are you using the Tulsa mods too? When I install the SystemUIedgebase.zip for the Tulsa mods, I lost all my other mods (center clock small ampm, small LTE, no GPS pin and 3Minit).
I would love to get the EdgeSense and the Status bar mods working at the same time. I have a similar question posted on the Tulsa Mod thread.
EDIT: I had to install the Magisk Mod for Edge Sense and now they both work! I dont see the Kill App as an Action in the Edge Sense app. Is it called something else?
EDIT2: I had to enable ROOT for the EdgeSense app, now I see Kill App. YEAH!

Another suggestion - All In One Gestures! It has a long-press back to kill app option, though I should note I'm using it having both rooted and reverted to the old, 3 button nav bar as per Mishaal's guide. Plus, doesn't work quite as perfectly as it did on my old galaxy phones with capacitive keys, but it does the job most of the time...

On pixel 3 xl, you can get the old 3 button navigation with a long press of the back button giving you the kill app command? I want that!
I thought the ALL IN ONE gestures app only gave you a longer pill button. I didn't see the kill app as an option in the app description. Im rooted and really want that feature back.
Here is a list of the actions that I see listed

I'm not sure what All-In-One does when you've still got the gesture navigation pill installed, but these are the settings I've got enabled having reverted to the 3 button navigation (https://www.xda-developers.com/disable-android-pie-gestures-google-pixel-3/):
You of course have to give the app root access, but otherwise no special settings as far as I recall from setting it up. Hope this helps!

That is great info. I will follow the guide once I update to the December release.
Thanks!
Is "All in One Gestures" the same as "XDA Navigation Gestures" When I search the play store for all in one than the XDA Apo comes up.
Edit: I see that they are different apps. I found All in One on the apk mirror site. Any idea what it is no longer in the play store?

My pleasure! It is a different app. I'm coming to the Pixel from a 3.5 year old Galaxy S6(!), and I just restored the app from a titanium backup. I think it was designed for phones with capacitive buttons, which might explain why it's no longer officially available. For this reason, it doesn't work quite as perfectly on the Pixel as it did on the S6 (the kill app function doesn't seem to click with a few apps). But it does do the trick in most cases. For me, I'm so used to the long-press gesture that it was worth going back to 3 button navigation for this alone, and worth sticking with it despite some imperfections in All-In-One when it comes to the Pixel. I suppose if you're still on the gesture system, you'll have to weigh up whether its worth removing the pretty new interface (and the Pixel launcher along the way, as Mishaal explains) for a functional yet slightly deficient alternative...
Here is another explanation

I upgraded to the December release and than followed the guide to bring back the old 3 button set up. Long press of the back button kills the current app! I even added the menu key to the left side of the screen My new Pixel 3 XL looks like my old Moto X Pure.
Thanks for the tip.
EDIT: Check out my retro Nav bar.
