Request for setting "touchRemoteLaunchMode" to be made public

As of WebOS 25, touchRemoteLaunchMode is set to "edgeSwipe" by default, which causes Bluetooth controller touchpads (e.g. Sony DualSense) to behave erratically in gaming apps. A light drag from the bottom edge of the touchpad triggers a “Home” button input mid-session, which breaks apps like Moonlight, Luna, and GeForce Now.

Attempting to change this via ssap://settings/setSystemSettings returns a 500 error:
"Some keys are not allowed for the request. (touchRemoteLaunchMode)"

This key is writable on rooted devices, but WebOS 25 cannot currently be rooted.

Request for the LG firmware team:

  • Expose touchRemoteLaunchMode as a writable setting via standard SSAP (or a UI toggle in the controller/input settings).
  • Or allow per-app controller behavior exceptions.

This is a regression that breaks gaming use cases. Thank you.
