Root [All Carriers][ROM][4.4.4] ViperOneM8 | Android 4.4.4 Sense 6.0 - HTC One M8

[Tre Lawrence]

Does anyone know if there is a way to enable gestures for "back" in Viper? Trying to do without the Navbar, but cannot figure out a 3-finger gesture for back.

 

[Granite1]

I haven't tried to do that yet Tre.

Let me give it a go on configuring, brb.

Available via the new update (3 finger emulate back button in Venom Tweaks).

Sorry Tre, things got a little crazy this afternoon. I didn't forget about you.

I'm going to be a while yet. A friend just blew his hot water tank, need to help install a new one.

 

[Granite1]

Tre, You can configure the 3 finger gesture to "Go to home", or you can set it to "Kill current App". I'm not seeing the "Back" selection anywhere in the 3 finger gesture menu.

Go to "Buttons, Gestures & Keyboard" turn on 3 finger gestures, then press the "Enable 3 finger gestures" header, you'll get a pop-up for all the selections available.

I'll have to inquire about the 3 finger "Back" gesture.

It's in there in the new 1.8 update. It was in the change long on the first page.

Soon as I updated, it showed up.

Go back into VENOM TWEAKS & find the area where you selected the feature that you chose.

Some of them require that you hit the re-fresh icon in the upper R/H corner to enable.
Once refreshed,the refresh icon disappears,until you select another tweak.

The refresh icon is usually only visible in the corresponding section to where you selected the tweak.

If you selected something from VENOM HUB,a full re-boot may be necessary to enable the feature.

[EarlyMon]

Congratulations - the party has just started!

 

[dan55]

[Tre Lawrence]

Congrats Dan!

Really like this ROM myself.

 

[dan55]

thanks Tre

[dan55]

@ Tre,

I got the 3 finger gesture back button to work. The Back button emulation is only available for a Left or Right swipe. Adamlee over at XDA let me know where it was. I only ever checked the swipe down option, hence not finding it.

 

[blenky]

This ROM looks great. I have not rooted yet as the process looked a little more complicated than it was for my previous phone - the S3!

However I'm now really tempted!

I assume I first follow this thread to unlock and root:

and then head over to:

[ROM][June 28] ViperOneM8 1.8.0 | 1.54.401.5 | Android 4.4.2 Sense 6.0 | Immersive Mode, Venom Tweaks, Venom Navbar, Venom Sidebar, VenomPie, Venom Hub, Theming, Icon Packs, OTA Updates and more! - Support for all Variants - xda-developers

to d/l and install the ROM.

At some point the phone will be wiped so can someone suggest best method to back up apps and data?

Thanks

@ Tre,

Been looking for something like this to use in conjunction w/immersive mode.

That (immersion mode) is the only thing I'm having issues with.
I've tried the exclude (whitelist/blacklist?) option & it doesn't take & the on-screen buttons stay hidden at times,even w/a re-boot.

I found an app that was folded in w/another ROM that seems to work fairly well(GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys).

I'll check this app out & the left/right swipe w/VIPER,as soon as I make a nandroid of what I'm running ATM.........BRB............

 

[Tre Lawrence]

Can someone explain how exactly immersive mode should work? Benefits?

 

[KOLIO]

I didn't even know it was called this (IMMERSIVE MODE) until a few days ago:

https://developer.android.com/training/system-ui/immersive.html

LG's U/I allows for you to force this on any app on your phone & works well,never had a hiccup w/it on the G-FLEX.

The benefit is having an uncluttered/cleaner-looking screen.

I have it in my power menu - and Viper lets you exclude apps that can't deal with it.

I'm not having much success w/the VENOM TWEAK that enables immersive mode,especially the exclusion option:
The buttons stay hidden for me,for whatever reason.
I'd prefer to use the VENOM TWEAKS method,instead of using a 3rd party app &/or XPOSED module (if one is actually available).
However,the GMD HIDE SOFT KEYS app in the GP Store is working well for me.
Not able to exclude apps,but,it's working.

I may try a clean flash of the ROM in a few days,just restored VIPER a few minutes ago to test this app.

Still got a couple other ROMS I want to look at,looks like my upcoming weekend will be a flashy one.....

 

[dan55]
