@rholm: Judging from the first post of this thread, it would *APPEAR* that LMT requires root at least for some of its' functions. Might wanna try that first. I never got LMT to work w/o root, I think it's a hard requirement. Might be wrong.

It works on Android 9 without root. Some actions require root, but not to launch an application.

Even with Root it doesn't work on Android 10.

Thank you work! LMT launcher is very useful, and i have a little suggestion.

I always set `qemu.hw.mainkeys=1` in system.prop to remove navigation bar and replace it with LMT launcher. but sometimes the LMT will start fail or kill by system(MIUI), but i can't go to the home and start LMT again, because i had remove the navigation bar.

so i write a little tools to add a quick settings tile for start LMT Launcher, i think that you can also add a feature about quick settings tile for start/close LMT service

LMT in general works without root (some actions and gestures/ISAS require root though) and on Android 10. What is not working for you? Is the pie not showing up? No actions triggered? Can you provide a logcat? Thanks!

I just implemented a quick settings tile to start/stop LMT. Will be part of the next beta.

The pie is not showing up. Or, it's not triggering. I am running 3.1 beta 2. I installed it after the Android 10 upgrade on my Pixel 3.

I haven't tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I checked and it has usage and display over other apps enabled.

Thanks!

The issue I was recently having (on the previous page):

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80440719&postcount=14009

But it is solved now. As it turns out, there is a common bug in CM-based Marshmallow ROMs, that doesn't allow the granting of usage access to some apps. They don't even appear in the list. And granting the perm with a command doesn't usually work.

Solution:

There is an app called App Ops, available on Play Store, by Rikka. It needs root, ADB, or system perms via Shizuku. This app correctly shows which apps can request usage access, and can be used to grant/deny the perm, bypassing the bug. LMT then shows that usage access is true rather than false.

I have several others that also needed this perm, now working fine too. I had posted this response before but it somehow didn't appear.

If someone has this issue then this post should prove useful. But I am wondering, can you explain why LMT needs usage stats? Pie seems to work fine without it.

Another question:
What is the LMTFrameworkResLayer.apk for? It seems to be for getting rid of the navigation buttons on ROMs that have soft buttons but no hardware buttons, and cannot be disabled otherwise (i.e. some stock firmwares). I tried pasting it into /system/vendor/overlay and settings perms to 0644/rwrr, on reboot nav buttons are gone. But after uninstalling LMT and this APK, my ROM wouldn't boot again! At the time I was using it on ZTE Axon 7 stock firmware.

Can LMT be used to turn the screen off? I've got it work by mapping a pie key to trigger an arbitrary button, using 26 as the value. Screen turns off. But I would like to add a 3-5secs delay so that it works with secure unlock solutions (fingerprint/face/pin/pattern/etc). Does LMT trigger a global secure lock when done this way, or just an insecure root lock? It seems this action only requires root, so that is why I ask.

Good luck on the next beta, I just noticed it now and am trying!

A feature I'd like to see, but I doubt you will consider it: The ability to use LMT as a launcher. I am a minimalist and don't much care for app icons, widgets, and other functions that would be expected from a launcher. Simply having a pie launcher to get around my phone would be enough for me.

Hi, thanks for the info.

Lmt uses usage stats permission to get the currently running apps when lmt has no root. This info is then used for actions like recents in pie or the last app action.

LMTFrameworkResLayer.apk is indeed just a rro overlay, which is independent to lmt and can be used to hide the navbar.

I'm not sure what you mean with screen off and secure lock. Your method just emulates a key input (26). It is the same input, the hardware power button sends to Andoid when pressed. For that delay: lmt's key action has a chaining feature so you can send multiple keys separated by a space, e.g: 26 26 would 2 times send the power button. Also you can longpress a button, e.g. 2026 would hold the power button for 2 seconds. Now combining this, you could just wait 2 seconds and then send power button by 2000 26. If you want to do some more complex stuff, you could write a small bash script as lmt action or use e.g. Tasker.

Hey there,
thanks for your great app and the continues support. I have been happily using it on all my devices since release :)

But I wanted to report a bug on my system with the latest LMT version (3.1):
When coming back from standby/unlocking the device and trying to trigger the pie via the touch trigger area, LMT suddenly freezes and needs to restart (automatically) to be able to be used again. Then it then works fine until the device sleeps/goes into standby again.

I noticed that it was asking for root permissions every time after waking up and triggering it and before the freeze happens.
So I took away its root permission in the magisk manager app. That seemed to have fixed the issue (at the cost of not being able to use it properly anymore :-/ ).

Would a logcat help maybe?

SM-G900F DBT on stock Samsung (Android9 ASIG) with 20.0 Magisk. no xposed installed

edit: I just use Tasker to automatically restart the LMT service after unlocking the screen. Works fine for now.

Yes, a logcat would be needed to track down the issue. Can you please provide one? Thanks!

Can i suggest new features?

Thank you @noname81 for making such a good app like this. This app actually helped me alot in doing stuff faster on my phone.
But can i suggest new feature to this app. It would be wonderful if you can add touch ball to open pie menu feature (small floating ball that we can side along screen border, just like quick ball from MIUI). So we can move trigger position around the screen. We can tap multiple pie action after pie menu open, and then it will close after timeout duration or after we tap outside menu.

PS: when i accident swipe to clock info arena it auto open status menu. Can we add an option to turn it off.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but you can set whatever you want as the activation area. The length and breadth can be set to use the entire side(s) if you like.

LMT all the sudden started to sort of slide out from the side of the tablet instead of wrapping around my thumb. It's freaking me out, nothing is broken, but I don't care for this type of animation. I just love when it unfurls around my thumb.

Is this new behavior normal or is it something odd?

hi!

Mix 2S here on mi-globe miui11/Android10 beta (based on xiaomi.eu builds)

I was having similar issues early - try uninstall/reinstall of LMT. That made it stable for me. I AM still having issues though - LMT will trigger normal button options (back, home etc.) But will ignore/not respond to applications set in pie wedges. The app icon is visible, but it won't launch the app.

I've tried messing around with permission and accessibility settings to no avail.

Edit. Just had a revelation - used magisk hide to hide LMT, now apps are launching correctly. No clue why this would have an impact.

Don't know if it can be changed in settings, but for me it's still the same. Maybe the animation time is set too low so it looks like that?

    LMT is a tool for Android (tested already on multiple devices but should run on nearly all) that launches a command when perform single touch or multitouch gestures on the screen (In any app/screen/etc.). You can connect basic and advanced commands to any gesture LMT supports. In addition to the gestures you can activate a system-wide PieControl for navigation like the feature in the ICS stock browser (touch the side of the screen to activate it).

    See also:

    http://www.droid-life.com/2013/01/23/lmt-launcher-brings-pie-goodness-without-the-custom-rom/

    Installation

    Download the latest apk, copy it to your phone and install it via file explorer. For the pie just start LMT, set actions to the different pie slices and start the TouchService. If you want to use gestures and/or ISAS first try to use the auto configuration feature. If gestures and ISAS are not working correctly afterwards, set the specified input device for your phone and for ISAS set the proper touchscreen to screen factors manually (see Troubleshooting section for details).

    Gestures

    • Square (start gesture top left cw)
    • Diamond (start gesture at the bottom cw)
    • Delete (start gesture top left)
    • SwipeRightDouble
    • SwipeLeftDouble
    • SwipeUpDouble
    • SwipeDownDouble
    • SwipeRightLeftDouble
    • SwipeLeftRightDouble
    • SwipeUpDownDouble

    ISAS

    The ISAS (invisible swipe areas) can be used to swipe with one finger from the sides to to center of the screen (like you would bring up the pie) to trigger actions. E.g. you could use the 3 ISAS at the bottom of the screen to trigger back, home and recents with just swipes when the navbar is hidden. Those swipes are as fast and reliable as normal button presses. In order to make the ISAS work you have to do the following setup:

    • activate gestures via setMode (because ISAS are being recognized via the internal gesture engine)
    • Configure min bbox size. Actually this is the length in pixel the swipe must be long, so that the corresponding action for the ISA is being triggered.
    • Configure activation area size. This is the height (for bottom/top ISAS) or the width (for left/right ISAS) of the area, where the swipe must be started in. So the lower the value, the more precise you have to start the swipe at the side of the screen
    • Last but not least the touchscreen to screen factors: As for some devices the touchscreen uses a different coordinate system as the screen, you have to adjust here the values for x and y. For the Nexus devices I added those values already to the OP and in later versions I'll introduce a kind of auto calibrate. But for now it is a little bit of testing...
    Once the setup is complete you can assign your actions to the 12 available ISAS!

    Troubleshooting

    For gestures and ISAS you need to set the proper input device and for ISAS the proper touchscreen to screen factors. If your device is not on the list, you can find them out doing the following steps:

    • Download a terminal (e.g. terminal emulator) from the market
    • Enter "su" and then "getevent -p" in the terminal
    • Search your touchscreen device and use the given event number as input device in LMT (e.g. /dev/input/event2 -> 2)
    • Check the touchscreen max values for event 35/36 and divide these by your screen resolution x and y values. This will give you the touchscreen to screen factors you have to set for the ISAS.
    If you still have issues please create a logcat:

    • Install e.g. catlog from the market
    • Record with catlog the following procedure:
    • Start LMT
    • Set input device to x from first procedure
    • Set vibration time to 777
    • Start the TouchService
    • Do the double swipe up gesture on the screen
    • Stop the TouchService
    • Send me the logcat or post it here in the thread...
    FAQ

    Setting key actions:

    With LMT's key action you can not only send simple key presses, but also simultaneous presses, long presses and key chains. See the following examples:

    • "keycode" -> Just a simple key press and release
    • "500+keycode" or "1000+keycode" or "2000+keycode" -> press and hold the key for 100ms/600ms/1000ms and then release it
    • "keycode1 keycode2 keycode3" -> Execute keycode1, then keycode2, then keycode3
    • "keycode1,keycode2" -> press and release keycode1 and keycode2 simultaneously
    • "keycode1,keycode2 keycode3" -> press and release keycode1 and keycode2 simultaneously and afterwards keycode3
    • "2000+keycode1,keycode2 keycode3" -> press and hold keycode1 and keycode2 simultaneously for 1000ms and afterwards press and release keycode3

    A good example is how you can go via key presses from Chrome main screen into the bookmarks. You do it by pressing "menu", then 4 times "keypad down", then "enter". A small wait is added to the menu key (100ms), so that the chrome options menu gets time to show before going on: "582 20 20 20 20 66".

    Setting the pie color:

    The format is just ARGB8888 in hex (8 bit for alpha and every color). So just use #xx where xx is alpha starting from 00 to ff and add the desired color afterwards. Have a look here for different colors but keep in mind that in these examples the alpha value is missing: http://www.javascripter.net/faq/rgbtohex.htm So if you have the color "rgb(124,252,0) #7CFC00" it will be #FF7CFC00 for an opaque pie and e.g. #807CFC00 for a half transparent pie...

    Adding custom icons for pie items:

    To have custom icons for the pie items create the following folder structure and put your own png images into it: "/sdcard/Android/data/com.noname81.lmt/files/". The default icons have the size 60x60px but other image sizes should also work (they will be resized to the configured size). You can define custom icons for every pie item and/or for every action (LMT first tries to load the icon for the pie pos, then the custom icon for the action and will use the default action icon if no other icon is defined). To set custom pie pos icons name the png pie[0-19].png where e.g. "pie0.png" will be the icon for pie item level1, item1, shorpress and "pie1.png" will be the icon for level1, icon1, longpress. To set custom action icons just name the png [actioname].png (see command section in the OP for action names; use lowercase, e.g. back.png). Please restart the TouchService after you changed the icons, so that LMT can recreate the pie.
