Galaxy S4 Glove Mode

Featured on XDA Portal! Thank you Samantha! @SammiSaysHello
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...r-samsung-galaxy-s-4-running-aosp-based-roms/


Info:
Want to use Glove Mode on your S4 but is it not supported by the ROM? With this app you can enable/disable it easily no matter what ROM you're using, the only requirement is the support by the kernel for this function. (by default this is in the kernel, on stock kernels but also on aosp/cm11 kernels)

Big thanks to Xiao-Long Chen for making this possible! (Used this commit: https://github.com/chenxiaolong/CM_hardware_samsung/commit/020e5fbfe981297d8780292fa29f3382d7e6a237)

Not taking anything away from you, but doesnt every S4 have the "Increase touch sensitivity" ticker option right at the bottom of the display options screen?

BTW, If anyone wants to make a nice glove icon (512 x 512) I will make it the app icon. (of course your name will be credited in the app), I did some searching for glove icons myself on google but couldn't really find a nice one, I'm searching for something like a vector glove with that's touching a touchscreen.

Great app! A great feature is to port this or add support for other device such as note 3

is there any drawback like battery usage or something else in leaving glove mode always on?
maybe you should add some way to fast toggle it... a little widget and/or that would be nice!) a tasker way :)

No, it just increases sensitivity by an awful lot, luckily that doesn't have any impact on the battery.
and Indeed a widget is would be very nice :) Thanks for the hint.


Tested on a Note 3 with CM11 (N9005) and it works fine :)

Great :)

Just installed this on the latest stable CM buld (11-20141031) on my GT-I9505 (with cracked screen) and it works like a charm.

Thank you so much for this. Taking off my gloves this winter was a pain in the...

After clicking fix permission, it worked. Guess I gave up without trying. Great app! Though I live in the tropics ;)

i invented the most awesome thing ever

Okay, I put those words into your quote for you.
PLEASE, please can you add Tasker functionality so we can set Tasker to enable Glove Mode when a trigger occurs, such as NFC or Car Dock mode?

This is the best app ever made for CM11.

Btw, it works great for me on TMO Note 3 on CM11.
It does not work on this phone when using SlimROM, but I let that dev know and asked him to make the necessary changes to his kernel.

Thanks!! :good:
Now I can ride my Motorcycle and keep functionality of my Note 3 that I keep docked under my windscreen. The Note 3 gives me speedo, GPS, Radar Detection, and controls my calls/media using Utter with Bluetooth to my helmet speakers/mic.

This enables u to use the device with a glove, aka making the screen more sensitive. Supported devices are s4 note 3, and maybe a few other devices.
