Air Command Shortcut (without S-Pen)

Air Command Shortcut (without S-Pen)

Simple tool as name suggest to activate Air command with shortcut. You can press on app icon to open air command without using Spen. Also you can set application for Long pressing/Double pressing home to launch air command with ROM control - keymap to launch air command with long /double pressing home.

Installation guide :
Requirements :
Rooted Note5 with 5.1.1 . Also should be work on other device with ported N5 ROM provided Air command is working with S-Pen.
- Download Air Command 1.1.apk (read below) and install as regular apk.
- Click installed app from drawer, It won't have any UI but just monitor notification.
- It will install some missing resources, Once it finished, notification will be removed and you may see a toast notification to reboot device. At this stage there may be FC and just ignore it.
- Reboot device and now you can use same app icon to launch Air Command.
- Floating air command icon will remain on screen, you can remove it by long pressing floating AC icon - drag it to bin.

Limitation : You can open smart select but still requires Spen to select area. (will look into it if possible to fix) Rest of function should work fine.

I have fixed floating icon setting issue and updated play store version(may take couple of hrs to reflect 1.2 on play store). I will update XDA version tonight/tomorrow.

No issue here. It's related to direct input and not with air command.

That screenshot is from Note5 only and no issue here.

@dr.ketan
I am going to ask a question, not sure if you can help or point me a right direction (I hope!)
Spen features are also, as you may know, on Note 10.1 (2014) and new device Galaxy TAB A SM-P550 and SM-P350.
I have SM-T350 version, which is identical device with SM-P350, but does not comes with SPen. So built ROM out of SM-P350 and flashed to my SM-T350, all good..however, there's no way to check and see if SPen is working, so thought let's use Air Command Shortcut, you probably already know, there are several different versions of Air Command Shortcut app floating around in XDA in different threads, but I guess I installed one that actually installs on Lollipop (devices are 5.0.2). Anyway, when I run Air Command Shortcut, it says Unfortunately it stopped, and checking the catlog, I see following error message (see below).
I know that Samsung's Note phone devices SPen different than Tablet's SPen.
I know you are extremely busy, but thought maybe you can help...

All the best!

Hi dr.Ketan,
I got working all good, only thing I am having the issue it displays the Note 5 Air Command window but I can't click on any buttons. I think it only accepts clicks from the SPen?? since my device is not note device...I wonder where's the restriction comes from?

LuanTeles · Jul 1, 2016 at 1:48 AM

@dr.ketan can you update the v2 with a new package name for notes ? the new S note was unified on grace update and now it doent work with your command. and i managed to make it working on galaxy s6 edge all features

yash92duster · Jul 2, 2016 at 6:53 AM

@dr.ketan
