tips and tricks, additional info
Question: Why are there two apps, Config and Companion?
Answer:
Well, technically, the config app is reading/writing configuration files, and also after the fs being decrypted and also being read/touched - after that happens, only then these files are accessible from kernel. On android 7/8 it was enough to have the files, but unfortunately it's not anymore. So config app is needed to configure features and also the finish the boot-up process and enable the kernel to read the configs.

The companion app is bringing a different functionality: it's needed to have all the events like notifications, ambient light change, gyroscope sensor state to be sent to the kernel. Since android 7+ most of the sensors are not handled on any level by kernel drivers, so it needed an application to channel those. Instead a nanohub/sensor-hub is being in place with closed source firmware usually. Sooo that's why companion app needs to run. Also it does the trick with notifcations pull down.

Back at the time I decided to have them separated, to have a very small memory footprint with the companion app that needed/needs to be always in memory/running in the background.

"Requirements

That caught me off guard
Thanks for your work anyway

Hi. Probably a user error but can anyone else get the sweep to sleep function working? I'm running latest December patches and flashed through FKM

Sweep left to right to sleep is working fine for me. You have to find the sweet spot close to the bottom of your screen with default settings

Thanks for replying. I've tried that with nav bar enabled and disabled but it doesn't seem to want to work

is there anything special that I need to do other than flash kernel and then configure via the app?

If you use gesture navigation try enabling the setting "gesture from corner". I thought it was helpful to enable the "continuously vibrate" so you know if you're swiping on the right spot too.

Gave it a try and still not working. As I said I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but can't figure out what

In the meantime， I'm working on a few new features that occurred to me while using sweep to sleep intensive during the last couple of days.

First, I work on adding a special " filtering" mode, where the sweep gesture touch area is protected by a kernel level filter, so that Android upper level framework does not register those touches that could happen over the "app switch" gestures area.
A forty percent of the bottom lane is to be dedicated for the sweep gesture, so that a cut off area is not needed in this new filtered mode. The two gestures thus can share the lowest area of the touch screen and coexist with full functionality in Google's gestures mode.

Secondly this filtered mode allows for the addition of a special double tap registration in that sweep touch area. I'll add a notification pull down mapping for that double tap on the sweep area, very lowest part of the screen.

So far so good, it's super convenient. Still testing phase.

Thanks for the response. I've attached settings screenshots. Hopefully you can see something

tbalden · Jan 2, 2020 at 1:37 PM

The sweep area height is a bit tricky, it's an absolute value, from the bottom of the screen, so it must be a higher value than the bottom cut off areas height.

So experiment with that set to around 200 first, as the horizontal cut off area is 100 on your screen shot.

Does this make sense? I hope this helps

Thanks. Still no luck. Is anyone else using on a pixel 4 and not a 4 xl?

Hmm, I haven't noticed that detail. I can't test on 4, so now I need to have a new look at the code. Must be something wrong on my side. Gonna check if I missed something
