Special thanks
A special thanks goes out to the "Paranoid Android" team. Their beautiful pie redesign inspired me to built this application.

Hide the navigation bar
"Vivid Navigation Gestures" allows you to hide your stock nav bar as long as the gestures are enabled.
You need ADB or Root in order to use that feature.

Android ADB PC instructions
1 - Enable Developer Mode in the Android settings.
2 - Enable USB Debugging
3 - Setup ADB on your PC
4 - Run the following adb command to grant the permission:
adb shell pm grant com.ivianuu.pie android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

To restore the navigation keys disable the app or run this command:
adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0

It is very functional and without "forced closure" but *Unique Controls* was a hundred time more visually appealing. I do not understand why you haven't used the template and rewrote it or at least fixed it as to work with Oreo base Android instead of creating this basic level with extreme settings limitations. A wrap around of the Status would be nice. I bought it and will be using it but I find it a regression of your talent.

Pixel 3 latest version if android - this app is excellent. Not often am I compelled to review apps, but the quality and usefullness of this app cannot be understated. I use it with the normal bottom home bar removed (after running an ADB command on my PC) and it works perfecty. Now i have full screen apps all the time and can easily acces all my home, back, and recent apps controls by swiping in. The app allows you to customize every part of you experience to your liking.

It's a really good app with lots of options. The animations, colours and pie-points are nice. Requests: Keyboard overlay conflict blocking option; a pop-up brightness-control; option of different pie entry-animations; It's different enough from 'Pie Control' by CoolAce to warrant a go but both are excellent.

I use 1 layer of the pie, and wondered if you can add a functionality? I swipe far out most of the time and even adjusting the size, sometimes I miss going on the command. Can you make it so passing the command button still registers the command function ? This would make things so much better when I use the phone fast ! 😀😁

The app has gotten way better since the last time I used it. The only one huge issue I have is that it makes my screen unresponsive sometimes for some reason. Idk why, but im hoping an update fixes that. Until then I stopped using. Once it's fixed I'll give it a 5 star.

It's more intuitive to swipe open vs click. If that was available I'd give it 5 stars.

Beautiful, just like the one I used to love back in 2013. Switched today from an old app that used for 8 years to this one. Is it possible to: 1) allow transparent colors for the pie. 2) customize app icons (use icon packs) 3) add a 3rd level. Will recommend to friends.

Took refund. Major bugs, 1. Have to keep trigger pressed and slide to any action, else PIE disappears. 2. NO Option to set time to display Pie continuously in order to select actions. 2. Only one CONFIGURATION/ CUSTOMIZATION is available for all three HOTSPOT (ie App, functions etc selected is mirrored in rest of PIES. NO option to individually configure Each PIE (3 in total one on Right, Left, Bottom). Doesn't JUSTIFY COST WITH current limitations. Finaly, Accessibility with internet permissi

A pie on the side of the screen is one of the oldest xda idea, which supposedly bring faster transition and convenience. This is a decent enough implementation but the inability to turn off the annoying animation make it much slower than working with the original home button, even at 200% speed

Great app to add functionality to your phone or replace the nav bar completely. Only problem is the screenshot function seems to open the item editor menu right before taking the screenshot, so it just takes a screenshot of that.

Ace. _. Aug 15, 2021     

Looks great, works good. Could you give me a list of hooked apps to make it work with Lsposed? Also if possible add an option to not detect presses onto the keyboard because it sometimes blocks input and opens the pie instead

Vis. N. Oct 14, 2018     

Good alternative to LMT pie that doesn't require root. Would be nice if there was an option to prevent inverting the keys when switching from the left to right side of the screen.

Joh. A. Y. P. Mar 28, 2020     

I just bought this app but it doesn't work when Im on desktop or in other apps, the pie circle is showing but everytime I am selecting apps, it doesn't open. It only works when im on pie control settings, thats where I can only select apps but when pie control is close, that pie circle will show up but it doesnt open the apps that I select. Kindly please assist me on this one.

Mig. A. Sep 18, 2018     

Lacks some configuration options as others (ie y-position of triggers). And still does not function on Samsung system apps, while Messenger does (chat heads). If these two were fixed I would rate this 5 stars and buy it for good.

A real throwback to the old Paranoid Android days. I'm using it on my OnePlus 7T Plus and I can replace the default gestures with the pie menu and customise to my liking. No regrets on this one!

[NO BACKUP OPTION] Is there anyway to back this thing up? I do like this app a lot. It almost takes no resources at all. Is there anyway to backup this app onto a file service? Thanks a lot. I would highly love a backup option! Thanks a lot!

The best Pie Controls app for non-root users, however a big negative is the limited number of shortcuts on the second pie (when it leaves w big gaps on either end, and the lack of ability to add a third pie.

Jos. K. May 29, 2019     

Works perfectly. If you have ever used Pie in older ROMs like PA, this is exactly it! extremely stable, even with hiding the traditional navbar buttons.

Eri. C. Feb 6, 2019     

Thank you! I've been waiting for someone to rebuild this app for Pie. I had been using the one built by Cool Ace for a while. It as never updated and old. This is a must have app if you have a large phone.

point color alpha does not apply ---- keeps disabling without reason, re enabling fails until next reboot, it just doesn't work anymore.

Tim. G. Dec 22, 2018     

perfect. no issues. great app, better settings and functionality than any free app out there.

Jus. W. Feb 8, 2020     

Simple, comprehensive, no bs. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because sometimes it stops working.

Jai. S. Feb 10, 2020     

This replaced a longtime pie app I had been using and I'm not looking back. This should be a native Android feature!

Ste. C. Jan 31, 2021     

I like it ALOT but! It's doesn't support position placement of pie like simply pie does. Kinda need that because phones these days are quiet large.

Eis. A. Dec 8, 2018     

Best pie controls and to-date constantly updated. You can't go wrong with this.

And. C. Mar 30, 2021     

Excellent. Simple, customizable, works great. Absolutely worth a few bucks!

Lad. E. Dec 28, 2020     

Barely works. I want to like (and use) this app but I can't get the pie to open when I need it. Very frustrating!

Wil. M. Aug 30, 2021     

amazing app - has the chance to stay relevant today, however hasn't been updated since 2019. Dev, please open source this app so it can continue to be great 😢

Sco. J. Dec 2, 2018     

Great gesture control, innovative and saves screen space.

Wei. C. Jan 24, 2019     

Nice app. But it will be better if we can switch trigger way like tap or swipe edges.
