ya since menu slides up gesture should be slide up, you can actually slide up inclined as shown in below screenshot to pull up the menu.

I picked the gestures which will have least conflict/collision so that when you gesture you don't have to worry that it might fire the wrong action. The aim was to make them error resistant and dependable.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
search is already implemented, check settings->help->quickstart. might be in pro only.

changing direction of gestures is non-trivial.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] clio94:
Yes you are right.it exists at least in pro version. I didn't see it before.

Sent from my HD2
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] corrsea:
What a brilliant app. Definitely

going to purchase the pro version.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] juanjux:
Yes, I've been using it for a week now, feels totally unnatural for me now to use the buttons and my tought about it is: how have I lived without it until now???

Awesome App! Save a lot time for the culprit end button!!!

great app

i love this app so much,great
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] abhishesh:
awesome concept

awesome concept buddy, just a question, as i have read a couple of comments saying, it isnt locking sense roms.. would it work with 2.3.5?

When will we be able to make custom gestures?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] samthu:
Thanks

I installed this app on my hd2 and it works perfect. Thanks for this amazing app
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] corrsea:
Working fine with tytung nexus1 hd2 which is 2.3.5
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mrmako777:
this! please implement these (especially transparent bar and gesture color) :D
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] samday:
I've been using zmooth pro for quite sometime & it's fantastic! Well done! One thing I've noticed tho is that it is very laggy on sense 3 Roms utilising an sd -ext. When I am running those roms, i actually switch to virtual button bar.

But for the moment I am back ina cm7 roms & using zmooth & loving it. Perhaps my needs are simple, but I don't think it really needs improving.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] br0adband:
Just happened upon this app when I was looking at (and using) Button Savior for the past few days. I just replaced the digitizer/glass on my HD2 because of a failure that I believe was tied to the hardware buttons, the Power one being the most likely culprit, so I am definitely aware of the potential for failure. Button savior is nice but I preferred something along the bottom edge of the screen - I actually wish someone would create some "soft buttons" similar to what we've seen in those videos of the Nexus Prime - there's enough real estate on the HD2's glorious 800 pixel high screen to put a few 'soft buttons' there that work as the hardware buttons do.

Regardless, after trying zMooth Lite for about 30 minutes, it became second nature pretty fast and yes, it's damned awesome so I just bought the Pro version off the Market - and it's my first purchase off the Market, ever, as I prefer a lot of the free/trial apps, so that should be saying something about the usefulness of this thing. :D

Considering the relatively low cost of almost all the great apps, I suppose I should start buying more, with SetCPU being the next candidate (been using the free XDA version for a long time but, it's worth the cost, definitely).

Anyway, I can't really think of anything to add to this awesome utility save for maybe giving us some more gestures or the ability to create our own - would love to have a reboot option, as I am seriously trying to use the hardware buttons with extreme infrequency, meaning as little as I possibly can by using zMooth for everything those 5 buttons can do.

And definitely, I second or third the potential for having a long press on a gesture, like doing the Home gesture but holding the finger on the screen. I'm not sure that's going to be possible however because I believe - but I could be wrong - that the app itself doesn't "recognize" a gesture until the finger leaves the screen, which would make any long press-type actions flat-out impossible, sadly.

As I said, I could be wrong.

But thanks, windroidHD, this is one seriously brilliant little app you can be proud of. Thanks... :D

ps

One thing I could think of that I wouldn't mind seeing: make the bar transparent possibly. I set my bar color to black so it's not as noticeable, especially when playing videos but most of the videos I have are widescreen so the "black bar" area basically causes the bar to blend in perfect and I can't see it at all. But a possibility of making the bar fully transparent... oh man, then it literally would be just about as perfect as I could hope. ;)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] frostyllama:
I absolutely love this app. I have to say that the one thing stopping me from buying it is the lack of updates or feedback since april, makes me feel like it's abandoned...
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] clio94:
hello.Can you make this app work on ics roms? For now works only home and close screen gestures
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] xanthrax:
I can't get it from market, is like not compatible with your mobile...
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] clio94:
change your screen density to 240
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] xanthrax:
has been already 240 ... as I always use this
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] juanjux:
Yes, I can confirm this on my Samsung GS2 with ICE XXLP6 (Samsung stock ROM, rooted) from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1463956
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] eelpout:
I guess windroidHD has flown the coop?

If one looks at the logs for Zmooth under ICS, it appears that the gestures are working and keyboard events are being generated. But I wonder if the event ID's themselves changed from Gingerbread and that's the issue??? Odd that the home gesture works and nothing else does.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Margino:
This app could have been designed with my MotoACTV Android watch in mind as it means the physical buttons don't need to be remapped from their default functions to use Home and Menu. The only issue is the bar at the bottom, even when black, takes up a lot of space on the very low resolution screen and can get noticeably in the way of other apps. If you were to add the option of making the bar transparent, or perhaps a sliding scale of opacity, I'm sure you could lure a lot of MotoACTV users away from Button Savoir to your product.

Thanks for a great app, nonetheless.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] tofffff68:
nice, but where?

Hy, i just tried to buy the soft for kindle fire , but impossible...+

can someone know or help ?

thanks whatever
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] MontAlbert:
Is it possible to have custom gestures- eg. search- one thing i miss from my android phones is a dedicated search button (i use button savior atm but would prefer the gesture).

thanks and great app mate
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
This happens if SuperUser permission was not given correctly. When you install the app first time you should see a popup which asks you to give the app SuperUser permission.

I think you might have clicked "no" or you have issue with SU in your ROM. you can try uninstall and install again.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dbekris:
Great job!!!

In my HD2 (tytung Nexus One ROM) I have the density in 200... I choose height 30 and the sensitivity to 2.

Everything goes very smooth.

Nice work!!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] nohandle:
hi, nice app, working fine on my HD2 (density 240) MIUI rom finally i can get rid of bottom panel in opera mini:)

little problem for me is that it interferes with spacebar.

if you are open for suggestions here is how i would love to see this working (it would go "naturally" with the behavior of the system):

(all areas invisible, or almost trasparent ligth gray)

1] bottom area (as it is now), swipe up to bring out the menu - (short press of Win button)

2] longpress in bottom area brings up the keyboard (Win key longpress)

3] right side - swipe from right to left to go back - (back button)

4] longpress in right area - go home (homebutton)

5] right area doubletap - lock screen

(home button long press) personally i dont use that one since i only use roms in which this one is pointless (recent apps in sense, notifications in miui)

so basically i would love if you gave us ability to create more customizable areas (color, sensitivity, size) with custom gestures and at least the basic set of actions

it would be superb if the application were "click-through" so it would take only actions that are meant for it, so if you click the botom you click space but if you slide you trigger the menu. - i am aware that is maybe impossible to implement.

and a backup settings to sd card feature would be much appreciated.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] 10507:
Is the pro version also on Marketplace?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
will soon be.

nohandle,

I will see what's feasible.

The Home gesture function only work with right handed user, as it swipe from left ^ right. But as a left handed, it is difficult to use Home gesture function. Is there any way to be able to swipe right ^ left?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] strboy:
Great app. I can see how useful this will be to most people.

I have a suggestion, when you press the input area it opens up but it retracts when you let it go...why not make it pop out and await an input...as it is now. It work's but I think it would he easier to use if it had this feature.

Single tap = expose input area

Double tap when exposed = closes the input area....closes automatically after a command is issued

Also. I am using it on my Adam tablet. So it would be great if you could move it to the left or right where your thumbs are.

Also in the settings add a gesture illustration with default actions

Keep up the great work and please announce full version soon
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
I use both my left and right hand never had a problem, do left handers write from right side and finish on left (for each character)?. This is news to me. :).
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
never saw the adam in person, will you be able to post a screenshot and mention the height you are using in settings?. I need to understand the scale of the app on your display to be able to get the app dimensions/settings right.

Also what's your display resolution and dpi?.

The reason it hides immediately is keep the screen clear and be unobtrusive, I spent lot of time to allow the user gesture in one smooth motion instead of tapping it once, then swipe/gesture, tap to close. you don't have to have it open to perform gestures, all you need to do is start your gesture in the area and it will track correctly.

Thanks.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] antonis1989:
Nice job!!!! thanks!!!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] 10507:
Actually, I can write with both hands. My left hand writes from right to left or right to left, and my right hand can writes from right to left....:D

Anyway, its just a suggestion. Do it as you will:)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
wow that's cool.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] shamez23:
Great app. Thank you.

I can't get the screenlock to work for me. I redownloaded, like you suggested. I made sure that the app gets root access but the option is still greyed out.

ButtonSavoir's screenlock, which needs root access, too, works without a hitch. So I don't think it's a problem with the build I use.

Anyway, I'm going to keep using this app with or without this option, just thought I'd let you know.

Keep up the good work, it's much appreciated.

HD2 running AmeriCanDroid

Screen density 240
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Semen_K:
I'm also having problems after redownloading. Olny ^ gesture works correctly. The "back" gesture worked for me only once, for the time I've been using this app. Other gestures no matter how I swipe them wont work. Superuser permission had been given correctly both times.

Anyway, this is a great idea for an application, I'm hoping it will work correctyl and will save my hardware buttons.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
right under where "Enable Admin" is it shows "Under Development", screen lock is under development. :)

I was referring to "back" not working, which is related to SU issue.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
what device/rom are you using?, might be something to do with your ROM. I never have to restart the app on my phone, gestures have been working without any issue even after flashing multiple ROM's (keeping user data).
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] shamez23:
Fail on my part. Sorry. It's quite early here for a saturday. I'm no good when I have to get up early on weekends.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
Published pro version to market, you can scan the QR code in first post or just search for "zmooth" in market.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] xcen_xda:
Perfect app! I love the idea of gesture and the placement is just perfect!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Semen_K:
I'm using HD2 with Ultimate Droid 3.2.0, I've had some issues with apps previously, but clearing Dalvik's cache helped. After I cleared it second time ever today morning, menu gesture worked once, after that only home gesture is working properley. I might consider getting pro version if I were sure it will work fine :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
you can try going into settings and restart the service and don't change any any other settings in zMooth and see if it works. If it stops working again after few minutes then your ROM has some issue. The back and menu gesture require "SU" to be working, home gesture doesn't need SU, that's why it's working all the time.

Ideally you never need to restart the service (maybe once if it shows a message to restart when you configure height and width initially).
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Semen_K:
I did as you say, the fact is that program is not working well. But another fact is that I like it so much that I'll keep it on my device anyway and expect that some updates will make it work soon. Even the home gesture itself is helping a lot, I use this button the most :).

Good work :windroidHD. I'm waiting for updates :) Good luck with your projects and thanks for help
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] JosephAGT:
I'm having exactly the same problem as you. Though im using Rafdroid's Desire HD rom 4.0.2
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] :
HOT DAMN! This is wonderful!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] tmotechsupport:
i was going to post feedback

But everyone beat me to it. The only other thing I can think of is to be able to move it to different areas. Its a great app I bought the full version but I'm going back to the free one because it doesn't seem to do the 10-20 height change. I will keep the subscription though I don't want a refund.

Its a great app I see this being an HD2 staple if you continue to update it.:)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] pedmond:
Sorry, edit mode screwed up. Please ignore.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] pedmond:
Same here with CoreDroid. A pity...
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Semen_K:
It depends on what task killer You are using, and whether it has auto killing feature. I tried Advanced Task Killer and Adao Task Killer, with and without autokillnig, and I managed being able to use menu gesture once every time I restart the zMooth service. But that can't be called a real achivement and feedback :P
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] pedmond:
I don't use one and it actually isn't recommended to use an automatic task killer on Android.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
I pushed update for Pro version to fix the height issue.

for other's where back and menu are not working on rafdroid, ultimate droid.

Edit:Seems like some people got it working on HyperDroid and UltimateDroid.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] wearefree:
For anyone else interested in the pro version, it comes with the ability to lock screen, and to customize the width and height and color of the activation area.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] xcen_xda:
Sometimes I notice a slight delay of 2-3 seconds before the software responds to my gesture.

Using HD2 with Typhoon's CM7. Anybody facing the same issue?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] red_hanks:
Very useful. Thanks a lot mate!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] neugroove:
Brilliant app man! Works perfect on Imilka's gingersense rom:D
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Semen_K:
I've made a full wipe, left only partinion layout and flashed lates ultimate droid 3.2.5. zMooth works just fine :). But now I can't add widgets of eg facebook, tajm or current widget on main screen. I don't get this UD, really.

But zMooth works well for now
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] htcvidi:
Works fine on HyperDroid.

Less options but more user friendly than 'softkey' or 'button savior'.

Sometimes a little delay between gesture and action.

The possibility to open the list of recent/running apps with a gesture would be terrific :-)

Great job.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
If it's happening all the time then there might be a issue with app working with your ROM. If it's happening intermittently then your device might be doing something else in the background when you are performing gesture.

zMooth will NOT use any CPU when it's idle, it uses CPU only when you are performing a gesture. There is no background code which will run when you are not using it.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] knifeproz:
my friends asking if this app would work on his mesmerise? i haven't tried it out on my HD2 yet but it looks sick! :D
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
It should work on any rooted android 2.2+ device. He should try the Lite version to start with.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] htcvidi:
I have had some crash

I join the logcat if it can help
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] shamez23:
I bought the pro version straight away. Only my third payed app and I've been using Android for 6months now.

86cent is just very fair pricing. Thanks for that.

Could someone please elaborate on how to swipe to make the phone go in Standby? I tried but just can't figure out how it's done.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] androiduser66:
Nice app. Thank you. :)

comments - I noticed that, home gesture working perfect. but other two not working properly. app not taking back and forward gesture actions. :confused:

I am using Samsung vibrant - android 2.2
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
Can you try stopping and starting the service?. (go to preferences->uncheck enable and then check enable again)

check the attached screenshot (only for pro version), just do like home at the end turn back up, like N

Is your device rooted? what ROM are you using?, can you try stopping and starting the service?. (go to preferences->uncheck enable and then check enable again). When you installed the app did superuser pop up and did you give permission to SU?. If you are unsure just uninstall and install again and make sure you click yes for superuser permission.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] dbekris:
I tested the app on my HD2 with Tytung Nexus One v2.5 and HyperDroid-GBX-v11.

Everything goes very very zmooth..... ;)

I use SystemPanel lite and when I press "end all" the service is still running.... So, I have no problem.

Keep nice coding....
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] htcvidi:
I done it and after a few minutes, i have the same crash again.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
oh thanks for the info, glad to know SystemPanel is not hindering the app. I did spend some time to keep the app running with correct priority.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] shamez23:
Thanks, that did it.

I tried something similar but turned 90°.

I had a look at the pictures before but couldn't recognize anything.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] vengopal@gmail.com:
Yes, My phone is rooted. I am using default ROM. When stopping and starting the service, I have noticed the back swipe is working only once after I did stop and start the service.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] htcvidi:
I disabled some of the background process present on my phone and it seems to work fine now. So, tomorrow (it's almost midnight in France), i will try to find the process that interfere with your software.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] coolfire:
Glad to know that! This means Zmooth takes up minimal battery... I experience some delay @ times too, but nothing to shout about though. Wonderful & bloody useful app! I am running SD RafDroidHD 4.2, with no issues so far... :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
I am curious about which software is interfering on your device. I tested advanced task manager and system panel both of which didn't kill zMooth service.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] prinzipal:
i love that app.. it's actually the first time, that i bought something from the app store. keep up the great work! thanks
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] klusek1985:
After few days, I use only zMooth to get back or home :) Very handly to draw a path with thumb :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] htcvidi:
I have reactivated all the background process and i'm not able to reproduce the crash. It works fine now. This night i switched off my phone. Perhaps there was something wrong with my HD2.

As i said a few posts ago, you made a very useful and user friendly app.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] stratplayer:
Great bit of software, my keys are getting some well earned restbite now.

Only issue I have had, and I admit I haven't looked at any settings/instructions is that the Android Notification window when opened can be closed easily. I have to use "back" on your app to get rid of it. No great shakes though.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] wearefree:
You can always slide from the corner up to close the notification window.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] elmanortega:
hi thanks for this

in my coredroid hd2

the only move that works is home ^ but none of the other ones

cant turn off screen or go back

none

just home

any idea

this is so web os

this is nice
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] pedmond:
Ideas

I think it would really be useful to have an exclusion app list. For instance, the button is quite annoying while reading a book, so I would add the reader to the excluded list.

I would also add a help screen with all the possible gestures.

Great app and great idea! I hope Google will allow Romania soon to get payed apps, so I can get the Pro version.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] androiduser66:
You need any other info, to find the issue?

Thanks
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
Please check support page for common reasons on why gestures might not be working.

Support FAQ

I will be adding more features to pro version over coming weeks, will include some features requested in this forum.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] wearefree:
Thank you for keep working in this. Right now it's as perfect as it gets, the only thing is may ask for is some kinda vibration feedback after the gesture is swiped.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
Putting vibration option might increase battery usage, I do see your point though, it will help folks who are used to feedback.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] wearefree:
If not, maybe an optional pop up message that says "back" or a icon of back button as some visual response would also be helpful.

A small bug report, after I set the width and height of the area, and then I got back there to change something else, the height is always the set number plus 10, and the width is the set number plus 80. It doesn't affect the setting up have there, it's just strange to see the wrong numbers.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] pedmond:
As long as the pop up message is optional. I, for one, would find that quite annoying :D
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] white-energy:
Very nice! best one ever..
