First thanks!
Second, can't you make the mapping same as on ZUI?!
Left swipe: Go to previous app in time
Right swipe: Go to next app in time

There is no android event I could bind this to AFAIK.

For this to work we would need to add some extra code to the framework.

Is there any chance this will work on cm?

 

[MrColdbird]

CM kernel run on COS, I see no reason why a COS kernel shouldn't run on CM then.

I haven't tried it though so be my guest and try. Please do report back with your results.

Sorry Exodus

 

[mofeywalker]

Works on latest CM nightly! Thank you very much.

 

[lurchi17]

Will try it on nightly from 26th november.

Edit: It works quiet nice. Thx a lot!

Edit2: but Now I don't have root anymore..

 

[MrColdbird]

I will try and package another ramfs for the CM users tomorrow. That should fix a few things like root.

can you merge with with [Kernel][UBERTC] Chroma.Kernel r2 [UV] or can you enable DT2W (Double Tap 2 Wake)..? couse I miss that feature.. Chroma have that feature, but you didn't have, can we have DT2W and Fingerprint Touch Functionality.. :highfive:

This is a closed source kernel mod so that won't be possible.

DT2W does work however. I'm using it right now on COS.

Representing my TWRP image, thanks man! Awesome mod! This is what I miss from ZUI.

hhmmm strange... here my screenshot using Chroma (have Double tap to Wake) after flashing your mod it dissapear..

I'm using "Resurrection Remix v5.5.9" porting from Chinese Developers

This mod was made for COS so it is to be expected to have issues with other ROMs, but I think that swapping out the ramfs should be enough to solve that issue.

The problem with that is that I would have to create a different ramfs for every ROM out there...

wow sound look good.. and yeah.. your mod with Resurrection Remix have different swipe..
for example

Button Mapping
Left swipe: Back ====>> Back
Right swipe: Recent Apps ====>> Menu
Tap: Home ====>> Home

That's because you have remapped your recent apps button to a different action, this remap of course also affects the fingerprint reader and the events it produces.
The mapping listed in the first post thus refers to the default button mapping (unmodified by users).

On another note, I've uploaded a CM 12.1 optimized version of the mod, this should fix issues with root (and hopefully others) that CM users have been experiencing until now.
COS users should stick to the original zip file I've posted.

Do you have any zip to undo this mod? My phone has rebooted 3 times by itself today since I applied this. Running a rooted COS rom YOG4PAS3OH. The mod itself Worked just fine though

 

[MrColdbird]

I can guarantee you that the reboots are not caused by this. Been running the same setup you claim to have since the inception of this mod.

Sadly I do not have a undo mod available, however you only need to restore the boot.img of your original ROM and the Generic.kl file.
