[APP] Finger Hovering

[dannyb0i]

bootloop

Updated version adds blue hovering pointer for TouchWiz based ROMs and fixed startup settings, just uncheck and check it again to make it work if you come from a previous release

Blue pointer only works while AirView is enabled (enabling AirView will make hovering disable randomly). So if you want a permanent hovering you must disable AirView.

Previous version worked nicely, but updating (though google play) ended in a bootloop:/
any1 having similar issues ??

What phone are you using?

If anyone else is suffering this please remove /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db using aromafm / adb shell on recovery, and avoid the pointer toggle until notice

One problem I notice with my setup. When enable on boot selected it crashes at startup and have to manually enable for it to work.

Yep I'll fix it soon, if you have a logcat of the moment of crash would be helpful, thanks

Nice app my friend! One thing only. When i lock the screen and then unlock, hovering service is disabled and i have to manually re-enable it on s4 i9505. (I have pointer and airview enabled)

Yep that's because AirView is enabled and lockscreen consumes it. So to keep it enabled you should turn it off (that will turn pointer off too) or just keep toggling it from the app manually

Is there a way to keep hovering and pointer always on?:fingers-crossed:

Maybe I can implement a service for this but not now

Thank You!

I have been looking for this for a very long time. Thank you so much. It works very well on my Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505.

Enabling Air gestures on all apps could be a great idea:good:

A problem...

On my Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 running TouchWiz the hovering feature works really well, but the pointer never shows, even after severall reboots. Please address this issue as I would llove that pointer feature to work.

It's kind experimental, you need to enable AirView to show the pointer but doing it the hovering feature will be turned off randomly and you will need to enable it again manually

I enabled airview and now the pointer WORKS! Thank you very much for this awesome work. Please keep in touch with the users and try to improve the app as well as you can. This is really a game-changer as it offers an essential functionality of a PC browser or of a Galaxy Note series device at will. Thanks again, franco!

Really just works on the Hovering app. When the notification bar comes down, don`t show the pop-up with the full notification on Facebook, whatsapp or hangouts... it seems when the notification bar goes down, that function (air view) is disabled

But I think this is a ROM issue, they need to correct this bug on Stock and Custom roms.

I have a i9505 , at moment with Wanamlite Kit Kat plus Adam Kernel

hover disables itself

hello,

The hovering disables itself after the lockstreen has been activated/deactivated. I always have to switch in back on.
Any solutions?

[APP] [ROOT] Finger Hovering

This app allows you to hover your finger like a mouse pointer on websites for instance.

Blue pointer only works while AirView is enabled (enabling AirView will make hovering disable randomly). So if you want a permanent hovering you must disable AirView.

THANK YOU for corrupting my system settings database!

E/SQLiteLog(  987): (14) cannot open file at line 32554 of [00bb9c9ce4]

E/SQLiteLog(  987): (14) os_unix.c:32554: (13) open(/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db) - 

E/SQLiteDatabase(  987): Failed to open database '/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db'.

E/SQLiteDatabase(  987): android.database.sqlite.SQLiteCantOpenDatabaseException: unknown error (code 14): Could not open database

Now my phone doesn't want to boot and i have to figure out how to recover my system without loosing everything (in case of master reset will be required).

Where you learned such setting management? What you are doing in this app is utterly wrong! You copy settings.db to another place, modify and copy back. This database is always open by system and surely is easy to be corrupted by way you manage it!
There is "Settings.System" class which you can use to set/get settings you need without raping the database.

Thanks for your suggestion, you didn't need to be so aggressive btw [emoji6].

I already knew about writing settings the way you mentioned (I do it on other apps I made) but I tought I couldn't write specific Samsung settings this way.

I just tried and it works, so next update will have this feature and no reboot needed, so thanks anyways.

Sorry for your corrupted db.
If you need to fix your db to boot just remove the corrupted one and it will regenerate a new one, you can do it on recovery via adb.

Sorry, i couldn't be more polite looking at my broken OS. You have to be very careful when you write root-enabled app.
Settings.db has many flags and being completely removed may trigger many side effects like cleaning other databases and "half-master-reset". So, removing settings.db is the last (before master reset) option.
Fortunately, i've found month-old backup and extracted required files.
Now i will be more careful before give the root to apps.
