Update!!!!


Lucky 0.13. I fixed some of the small issues with wake gestures and it should work with all firmware versions. If it doesn't, I will need a logcat.

Also some improvements to pocket detection, though it is still not 100%. The worst that can happen is it will work too well and gestures won't work. In that case, you will have to power on with the power button, and the issue seems to resolve itself. This happened to me once today. It could be that my proximity sensor is a bit flaky. In any case, I feel it's working good enough that I added the pocket detection option to the installer, but it's not enabled by default. The other issue with pocket detection is that it doesn't become active for about 5 to 10 seconds after you turn off your screen, but after that should work fine.




Download:
ElementalX-m8-0.13-Sense




Changes:
-fix vibrations during phone calls when wake gestures enabled
-fix proximity sensor not working properly during calls
-fix wake gestures not working with certain firmware
-update installer

It's a different voice dialer when using the case, and yes it was enabled.
Double taping doesn't give me the time and weather on the dot case front. So it just looks like it doesn't work with the case.

Ah I see. Don't have the case to confirm any issues..

I have been playing with pocket detection for a little bit now, seems to be working great, haven't been able to trip it up once, granted it has been less then an hkir

I just took a look at the logs after using a magnet, I have to make it send different input event codes when it's turned off by a magnet.

I'll probably send you a test version tomorrow.

Heads up guys, i had the notification app peek from paranoid android installed on viper and testing gestures. Crazy wakes and had pocket dials all day. It will screen on in your pocket, ignoring prox sensor. I removed it and now gestures are working great. I cover prox and no screen on.

Flar2, long may he reign!

Cool. Have got a dot view case. Even when the case is open only swipe right seems to wake up the phone. Dt2w Seems not to be working either.

I will wait for your test and let you known if it improves.

Dot view also not working here. I've set the gestures to swipe up and double tap only. When I double tap with dot view closed, the phone vibrates and not have anything displaying. When I swipe up, it vibrates as well, but dot view originally doesn't have a swipe up action. I'm guessing the gestures are trying to wake the phone as if there isn't the dot view case, but then the magnet stops the phone from turning on.

Thanks for the great work Flar!

I'm on Viper and just flashed the last version of the kernel choosing the third option (mode 3) in the motion gestures section plus enabled pocked protection.
But seems that now during call proximity sensor isn't working and I have my screen on during calls.

Edit: all the rest works fine and I like how it's immediately working after boot

Edit 2: I went to system settings and disabled motion gestures there. Now proximity during call started working as it should.
Pocket protection works as well.
Thanks again for this kernel!

Went from 10 to 13 and while walking it unlocked the screen really often and called people.
Also almost each time after taking it out of the pocket it wouldn't work. Guess pocket detection isn't working properly yet?
I'm on viper 1.5, how can I post more info? (if you need it)

This wouldn't have anything to do with it would it?

    INSTALLATION

    1. Install zip from recovery
    2. Follow the instructions, if you don't know what to do, use the preselected options
    3. Reboot

    It is recommended to disable or increase the screen timeout in TWRP recovery. If the screen timeout is enabled in TWRP, there may be a black screen after exiting the Aroma installer. This is nothing to worry about. Simply hold power and volume down until it reboots. The installation will be fine.

    NOTES

    ElementalX Configuration File
    Your choices in the Aroma installer are used to build a configuration file. The config file is located at /etc/elementalx.conf. You can edit this file to change kernel settings. Whatever is set in this file will take effect when the device is booted (unless other scripts or apps interfere!)

    If settings are not sticking:[*]Make sure you have busybox installed correctly and updated to the latest version[*]Make sure the file permissions for /etc/init.d/99elementalx are set to execute. [*]Check to see if any /etc/init.d scripts or apps (such as Kernel Tuner or TricksterMod) are interfering with your settings.


    ElementalX Log File
    Every boot, a log file is created at /data/local/tmp/elementalx-kernel.log. This file shows the date and time and all settings that have been applied. Use this to verify and troubleshoot configuration options.


    Overclocking
    Overclocking is optional. The installer lets you choose the maximum frequency. Whatever frequencies you chose in the installer will be set at boot for each CPU. Not all devices can handle overclocking. I don't recommend overclocking, this device is fast enough. If you overclock, the CPU frequency will likely be throttled due to heat. I recommend the stock frequencies, as this device is plenty fast.


    CPU voltages
    The installer allows you to choose from several undervolting options: stock, -15mV, -30mV, or -45mV. This only undervolts the lowest frequency, which happens to be the frequency used the most, and this is safer. Be careful, lowering voltages can cause instability.


    gboost
    gboost enhances gaming performance by giving a slight boost to cpu frequencies when the graphics load is high (e.g. while gaming). It should have no effect on battery life during regular usage, so it's safe to leave it enabled all the time.


    fsync
    fsync can be disabled if you're looking for the last ounce of performance. I recommend leaving it enabled as there is a slight risk of data loss if your phone shuts off unexpectedly before filesystems are synced.


    Installing a new ROM
    If you install a new ROM, it will probably replace this with the stock kernel and will definitely overwrite /etc/init.d/99elementalx and /etc/elementalx.conf so you will lose your settings and certain features. So always reinstall the kernel after installing a ROM.


    Sweep2sleep
    Sweep2sleep allows you to put your device to sleep by swiping right to left across the bottom of the screen where the back, home, recent buttons are. I find this useful since the stock motion gestures do not provide a good way to turn off the screen.

    /sys/android_touch/sweep2sleep

    0= disabled
    1= sweep2sleep right enabled
    2= sweep2sleep left enabled
    3= sweep2sleep left and right enabled


    USB fastcharge
    USB fastcharge is optional. This will allow you to charge at a faster rate when connected to a USB port. The default limit for USB ports is 500ma, this increases it to 1100ma. Be sure that the computer/laptop/whatever you are plugged into can handle it. Some will automatically cap it at 500ma. Please note that this does not force AC charge mode like previous implementations of force fastcharge. Your battery setting will still say USB mode. You can edit /etc/elementalx.conf to change the setting on boot.


    Wake Gestures

    There are three modes
    • Mode 1: Stock Motion Launch Gestures
      For stock motion launch gestures, /sys/android_touch/wake_gestures, /sys/android_touch/sweep2wake and /sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake must all be set to 0. Enabling any of these overrides the stock gestures. Obviously Motion Launch Gestures must be enabled in the system settings.

    • Mode 2: Remove motion requirement
      For this, you must set /sys/android_touch/wake_gestures to 1 and enable at least one gesture in /sys/android_touch/sweep2wake or /sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake and Motion Launch Gestures must be enabled in system settings. In this mode, when you sweep or doubletap, the appropriate input events are generated and acted upon the EasyAccessService (i.e., the system app that handles gesture actions).

    • Mode 3: Traditional S2W/DT2W
      In this mode, wake gestures and actions are handled entirely by the kernel. The gestures will turn on the screen and that's it. For this, you must set /sys/android_touch/wake_gestures to 0 and enable at least one gesture in /sys/android_touch/sweep2wake or /sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake. It doesn't matter if Motion Launch Gestures is enabled or disabled in system settings, the gestures don't interact with it in this mode.


    Options

    For modes 2 and 3, there are several options.

    • Sweep2Wake

      Gesture........Value
      Sweep right......1
      Sweep left........2
      Sweep up.........4
      Sweep down....8

      Add up the values for each gesture you want to enable and put the total in /sys/android_touch/sweep2wake. For example, to enable all gestures, the value is 15 (1+2+4+8). To enable sweep right, sweep left and sweep up, the value is 7 (1+2+4)

    • DoubleTap2wake

      Set /sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake to 1 to enable DT2W, and set to 0 to disable it.

    • Pocket Detection

      Set /sys/android_touch/pocket_detect to 1 to enable pocket detection, and set to 0 to disable it. Pocket detection is experimental right now, I'd say it's about 90% functional, but there is an occasional bug where it either doesn't work or works too well.

    • Vibration Strength

      Haptic feedback can be enabled for the wake gestures in /sys/android_touch/vib_strength. This setting takes a number between 0 and 60. Default is 20, which is the same vibration as the stock gestures. Setting this to 0 disables haptic feedback.

    Update on the modifications to motion launch gestures:

    The news is good, lots of options are coming for wake gestures, and they don't cause battery drain.

    You'll be able to choose from stock motion launch gestures, motion launch gestures that work without moving the phone, and traditional s2w/dt2w. Should have pocket detection as well.

    I still have lots of work to do to make everything work seamlessly.

    Should be ready sometime this week.
