XDA-Developers: Edge Sense Plus for HTC U11 Quick Look: Get More Out of Every Squeeze



What is Edge Sense Plus?

You should already be familiar what Edge Sense is. By squeezing your device, it lets you perform some minor actions.
Edge Sense Plus extends those actions and adds some more features for you.


How does Edge Sense Plus work?

It is a simple app you install from playstore, linked at the bottom.
To get it working, you enable Advanced Mode'in the native Edge Sense Settings and select "Launch App" as custom action for both short and long squeeze
and pick the appropriate Edge Sense Plus Activity.

When the app starts the first time you'll get those instructions step by step again.

What can it do?

Custom actions:

Currently you can choose from 27 different actions
  • Sidebar
  • Custom App
  • Shortcuts - e.g. to make direct calls!
  • Recent Apps
  • Toggle Autorotation
  • Autobrightness (6 states: Auto, Min, Low, Mid, High, Max)
  • Split Screen
  • Expand/Collapse Statusbar
  • Toggle NFC (root)
  • Toggle Display on/off (root)

  • Toggle Autorotation
  • Toggle DND
  • Toggle Vibration
  • Toggle Bluetooth
  • Toggle WiFi
  • Music Play/Pause
  • Previous Track
  • Next Track
  • Toggle Keep awake
  • Google Assistent
  • Lock Screen
  • Back
  • Home
  • Toggle Sync
  • Sync all accounts
  • Previous App
  • Toggle Flashlight
  • Toggle Powersaver (root)
  • Toggle GPS
  • Camera (root)


Per app actions:

With the per app action, you can define different squeeze actions per app. So the chosen action will be executed dependent in what app you are currently are.

http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FO3mWpPW.jpg


Double Squeeze: (Premium)

If you often accidentally trigger a short squeeze, that won't happen anymore if you map your desired action to the double squeeze gesture.
You can define a double squeeze interval, to ensure you are quick enough to trigger it every time.

G-Sensor usage:

If enabled, will be able to execute different actions depending on the current position of your device, whether it is flat or upright in your hand.
That way you can have six different squeeze gestures: short, long, doublepress in flat or upright device position.

Magisk system mod:

The magisk system mod replaces the native Edge Sense app and allows customizations on lowest level. That makes it possible to:

  • Execute actions while the screen is off/locked
  • Have pocket detection (disables edge sense when the proximity sensor is blocked)
  • Customize the colors of the feedback graphics

Media control:

The media control will override your set squeeze actions while media is playing so you can control your media.
That includes play/pause, increase/decrease volume and skip to next and previous track.


Squeeze sounds:

Ever thought it would be funny if a squeeze of your U11 would make a sound, if it is a *click*, *oink* or whatever you think of?
You can use any .mp3 file to make that happen!


Sidebar:

Remember that image?

We have that for real! Our Sidebar has three different panels, Applications, Recent Apps (Premium), Quicksettings (Premium).
You will also be able to customize the panel color to any color you like.

Google is Threatening to Remove Apps with Accessibility Services from the Play Store

Google has sent out mails to developers to remove apps with accessibility service permissions that violate their new poliy.
That is saying now, that the accessibiliy services may be just used to help users with disabilities.

For a more detailed explanation read this xda portal post: Google is Threatening to Remove Apps with Accessibility Services from the Play Store

To prevent Edge Sense Plus getting deleted on the playstore, I will provide an Helper app here, outside the playstore, to be still able to provide the Accessibiliy Service features in Edge Sense Plus.

Simply install it, start it once and grant accessibiliy service permissions for the #Edge Sense Plus - Accessibility Helper.

Attention, for some it can cause a noticible lag while scrolling and navigating: “Working As Intended” – An Exploration into Android’s Accessibility Lag

Changelog

Version 1.1.0
  • Fixed Back Action not working in some apps (WhatsApp)
  • Fixed broken Back Action on Oreo

weird, I can't reproduce the crash.
Tried on a clean unrooted emulator too.
Really need a logcat from one of you.

Typos? @Basil3

    some really great stuff coming for root users.
    I directly provide a modded EdgeSenseService.apk as magisk addon.
    That enables me to add stuff like:

    Performing actions while screen is off/locked
    Using proximity sensor to prevent actions when screen is blocked
    ..and much more!
