Added option for vibrate in Pro version. Get the update from market. :) I defaulted vibration to minimum to minimize battery drain.

Regarding the incorrect display of height, if you close and reopen zmooth it should show accurate dimensions. This requires some coding to fix, on my list with low priority as I don't expect people to be looking at that screen often after initial configuration.

For folks who are having trouble with gestures on some devices, please update to latest version, hopefully it will work now.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] wearefree:
Thank you! Now it's perfect!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
:) glad you found it useful.

I suggest you draw/gesture as small and fast as possible and see what's the minimum movement that you have to do to make it work.

Remember home and power gesture don't have to be accurate, it should work if you draw/gesture something close to what's required.

Hi Everyone-

First of all, thanks for this awesome app...I'm using an Optimus 2x and it works perfectly. That being said, I had the same issue that many people are having with the home gesture working and the other menu and back gestures not working. I tried disabling and re-enabling the program as well as deleting and reinstall, and the same problem....the back or menu gesture would work once, then stop working. I finally solved the problem, and thought I might offer my experience.

I found that if USB debugging is not enabled, the menu and back gestures don't work. If you are having this problem, try enabling USB debug mode and then reinstall or disable and re-enable. Hope this helps some!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
Cvitur,

Wow I was able reproduce it after seeing your post/mail. Will try figuring it out later, it's too late in the night now.

By the way how did you figure this out?.

Thanks.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] clio94:
Very good and useful app.the only missing things is a gesture to simulate long press home for latest apps and ability to move gesture bar in left or right side
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Drew99:
Great application!!!

After install from market i have issue - unable to set tap height less than 30, after few resets all works fine!

Some wishes from me:

change color and opacity,

change horizontal size and onscreen position (not only in the center)

additional gesture for search action :)

Hi WindroidHD-

First of all, a HUGE thanks again for making this app. Figuring out this bug was total luck. I couldn't get it to work properly and gave up, so I installed Button Savior instead. On startup of Button Savior, a prompt popped up that told me that USB Debug mode had to be enable for the app to work correctly. After I saw this I got to thinking that maybe doing this would fix zMooth also, which it did. Total luck, but I'm so glad it worked because I like your app much better than the other alternatives out there. Hope you can figure out why this is happening.

Any chance to pay without creditcard? Maybe via paypal? Dont have a CC :/

Hope this project wont end like button savoir did. Got the full version of button savoir and then the developement stopped... :(
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
Oh ok, good to know. I updated FAQ with this info. Thanks.

I will be adding more features to pro, features would have to make sense and work very intuitively that's the hard part. I spent over a week to configure/tune current gestures to make them fast, bringing execution of button simulation down to about 300ms approximately. I am very particular about that sort of stuff.

Thanks for feedback.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] DocChip:
Hi there,

Thanks for this great idea to make the hardware keys nearly superfluous. I've been using Button Savior up to now, but I appreciate it very much that I no longer have to deal with hiding and showing the space consuming soft buttons. (Although it did a good job for me, of course.) So, two thumbs up for your zMooth solution to this! :)

Regards,

DocChip
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
Thanks. It's relatively easy for provide support for XDA users who are more knowledgeable compared to naive(trying to use a kind word) users outside who refuse to click on "Help" which has solutions to their problem instead they go and give bad rating on market. :( hate it.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] simple man:
Like the people who download a widget from the market then give a bad rating because " it won't open"

I don't know if to feel sorry for them or mad at them, but they need to make sure it's not operator error before they rate bad.

AMAZING app.

this app is just so amazing , working great..:eek:

just bought the pro one.. thanks for your work..

keep up your work..;)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] MarkAtHome:
Very cool, windroidHD. I like it a lot. If you were to remove the call home module, I would certainly buy the pro version. :(
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
Jesus christ dude, there is no call home, new android market licensing prevents apps to run if it cant verify/download license.

I am starting to hate google on how they glorify 1 bad rating out of 18 5* ratings.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] MarkAtHome:
Kind of depends upon what the definition of "is" is, no? ;)

I am not a developer and am fairly new to Android, but not new to general concepts pertaining to the software and hardware market, as I have been involved in one way or another for about 30 years.

Going to the market, I scanned through (obviously, not thoroughly), and what I garnered is that the licensing you refer to is offered to publishers/developers, but is not required.

Presuming that that is your choice, do you provide an alternative way to purchase your software, outside of the Android Market, where that licensing check would not occur?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
License check is done by Google, android market connects to google servers and then tells the app not to run if license is not valid.

There is no alternate way to buy zMooth app, if I were to provide a alternative non-license verifying Pro version then I might as well stop development, because most people can just get it from google search, without needing to pay which supports development.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] MarkAtHome:
Yes, that is what it looked like to me, too, but it is not a requirement of the market, but a choice you made when setting it up (this is done on an app to app basis and is not universal, from what I read).

Either way, I fully understand and respect your situation and decision, windroidHD.

It is a good app and you deserve for it to be successful.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] wearefree:
I fully support the license checking method you adopt. After all, $1.20 is not a lot of money, I spent much more than this everytime I take my kid to the playground.

Also considering this is one software that I use more than 200 times a day (literally!), $1.20 is a very small amount...
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
you are lucky to get out with $1.20 when you take kids out. last time my kid made me buy $7.99 book with huge pictures of pink ponies. lol.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] shamez23:
-driving your kid to town - 3.94$

-parking your car - 5$

-ice cream 2$

-Book with pictures of pink ponies - 8.00$

The smile on your kids face - priceless

Money well spent, I'd say.

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] wearefree:
I noticed one interesting behavior change of myself. I get very used to swipe left to go back when browsing, then when it comes to the need to go forward, I swipe right to go try to forward. It just came so naturally that I wasn't even thinking.

Can this be a future gesture development? One thing I did notice is the home gesture has to start from left to right, if I go from right to left then it doesn't work. Maybe that gesture can be assigned to another action that doesn't conflict with the current functions?

Again thank you for a great piece of software! There is nothing else I used this frequently in my life.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] luffyp:
Good idea. May I suggest to assign that gesture to "long-press-home-key" so we can access recently opened apps :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
I see some left handed people use RTL for home, i was thinking make it home also as an option.

Luffyp,

Recent apps is also on my list.

I have same issue with browser myself, right now i don't know how to tell browser to go forward, I will do some research.

Love this app, bought the pro version. 74p to save my power buttons life a little longer.

Fantastic app, miles better than Button Saviour in my opinion.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] wearefree:
Thank you for the quick response. I don't think forward is that important, it's just I somehow get into the habit of doing it and I wanted to share. Besides, I'm using the default browser, if I need forward, after menu the forward button is right there.

I do like to make a suggestion for long press home alternative: a "M" gesture. I tried M gesture many times and it always lead to menu key. I think it shouldn't be too hard to implement as "N" gesture is used for screen lock.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Korntoff:
I'd like to see a search button gesture.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] Voxyn:
Small annoyance

First of all, thanks for a great app. Have been waiting for this a long time. There was a similar on the iPhone and I used that too.

But I have one complain: Most of the times when I try to use the back or menu gesture it simply won't work or tells me that I need to buy the pro version.

The reason is simple:

- when the zmooth area is touched the yellow gesture indicator shows a vertical gesture up (from the the finger touched to the height where the area increased the height). After this I try to do the normal gestures but they are not recognized. I attached an example picture.

The gestures fail in about 70-80% of the time!

Btw. I am on a Desire with Gingerbread 2.3.3
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
Wearfree,

good idea, will include in my testing list.

Korntoff,

Search gesture will be included in next version, I already have it working, but other functionality for same release is under development.

Voxyn,

are you using lite or pro version?. just do back/left swipe or right swipe from the point where you first touched the gesture area, the vertical yellow line shouldn't interfere with gesture.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] streamline:
for me faster way is to use hard keys
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] wearefree:
The whole idea is not faster operation, but to save the wear and tear of the hardware keys.

I do agree with you that hardware keys are faster. For instance, I only use the hardware keys when I'm driving.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] THUDUK:
Gosh I use this all the time, initially takes a little while to get used to, but then I am an avid swype user.

Love the simple swipe to the left to go back, swipe to the right for menu and swipe up for home.

Pure brilliance in my opinion, running the free version at the moment what's the benefit of the full?
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] windroidHD:
Other than supporting development :), Pro version has screen lock, vibrate, ability to change width, colors. More features are coming soon.

Don't forget to rate it in the market if you like the app. :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] THUDUK:
Just bought the pro version, I am a fan, 5 start rating, well done
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] uzi2:
Once you use this for a while, you wonder what you did without it. I am obviously a swiper rather than a tapper as I am also a fan of Swype.

I know it's been mentioned before (but it was in post #6), but it would be great to have a transparency option. I can almost acheive that on my dark screen by making the bar black, but when any app is running it will assume the underlying colour.

This has also been mentioned once before, but it seems the N gesture to close needs to be much more precise than the others (if the up and down strokes aren't exactly vertical it won't play).

Great app and fantastic value... ***** Thanks
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] klusek1985:
Damn I have to ask a friend for a favor (I don't have a card which able to pay in the net) and buy the pro version :)

A great app windowsHD!

A must for me now. My only problem is that I seem to be getting a lot of 'invalid license' errors. The app has been paid for and the money has come out of my account but sometimes the app just fc's giving me that error, sometimes up to 10 times in a row. Sometimes I uninstall/reinstall but I still get it. It's working fine at the moment but occasionally I get the error messages for no reason, especially after an update. Any advice? I'm on AmeriCanAndroid.... Let me know.

Thanks in advance

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] este548:
Cool concept, I have it installed but not using it as functionality is very basic and there are no real hardware keys on DHD to protect their durability with this app.

It would be much useful if you could move its placement to the left or right of the screen, as the bottom is really crowded (been able to adjust height according to thumb length ... ;-)

Then to have possibility to make custom assignments of gestures to something like dial contact number or turn wifi on/off, screen off, etc... So will wait until it will develop that way, but keeping it already installed as it looks so cool on the screen. Thanks for your effort.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] mrmako777:
great app so far man. i bought the pro version ;) only 2 complaints i have is that the height changes by itself and it didnt start up on boot even tho i have it checked. running rooted stock rom on mytouch 4g

EDIT: ok the 2nd time i rebooted it started up automatically. keep up the good work :)
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] prom1234:
What a great App, exactly what I needed
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] prom1234:
Just one request. Can we have the option of locking the swipe area to the bottom of the screen where the hardware keys are, because its easier to swipe with the thumb when in landscape mode and it won't interfere with the keyboard, again when in landscape. I found that many times when I press the space button in the keyboard it registers as a swipe gesture in zmooth and that can annoying.

Been using Pro version in HD2 running AmeriCanAndroid.

Same here, 1.1.7 not working. It's nice to see that the search gesture is included though.

It's time to live with Button Saviour again. Button Saviour is def not bad software, it's just I prefer zMooth much much more.

EDIT: was able to revert 1.1.6 with titanium backup. Good thing I did a backup!

latest version (1.1.8) should work. Updating app at 4 in the morning is not a good idea :(

Pro version has option to pick color, if you pick color that's darker then it gets almost invisible. Attached a screenshot where you can barely see it.

Working great on my htc hd2....also on my dropad c8 tablet
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] hypertyper:
The simple most used commands works amazingly well and fast. Some gestures in the pro version could be improved. I sent feedback via the app. This is my favourite app so far. So great for my HD2 with breaking buttons.

Edit: Played around some more and found that when I turn the gesture sensitivity way down to 2, all the gestures work great including the "screen off" gesture which had never worked despite around 20 attempts at it. Now that the sensitivity is down it works perfect, everything. It's amazing!

Slight bug that I found is that when I turn the phone sideways, zMooth works on one side, but when I turn it all the way to the other side, the box moves but doesn't respond to anything. The box aligns properly but doesn't do anything when the phone is held horizontally with the hard buttons on the right. Otherwise perfect app and worth paying for!
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] wearefree:
I don't have such bug on my hd2. Try to uninstall then reinstall the program to see of it helps.

My only gripe was the search gesture is kinda hard to perform, and the trick I found in a few posts back doesn't work anymore. Fortunately I have trained my fingers to do the search gesture and I have also assigned the green button for search. It's the least used hardware bottom for me since hd2 didn't have a native button to start with so it doesn't affect my daily use at all.
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] hypertyper:
The only thing I don't have working properly is turning the phone sideways but I don't care about that. Have you tried messing with the sensitivity to get the search gesture going? I found it almost impossible to start with but now it's working 100%
[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] wearefree:
It's set to the most sensitive (smallest number). It was me who didn't get use to that gesture.

Double Home Gesture

I just purchased the Pro version and it's working great.

One feature I'd like to suggest (or request for) is to have the ability to perform a "double home" gesture. I have PowerStrip installed so gesturing home will invoke PowerStrip to pop-up, rather than bringing me to the home screen. Simulating a double-tap on a home button with a double-home gesture will bypass PowerStrip and go straight to the home screen. Do you think this is something that can be implemented in the next version?

Thanks.

I noticed that zmooth work very flawlessly on cm7 rom but on my sense 3 rom it just misbehaves like misses back gestures or showing long trace lines on horizontal location etc. Is their an update that we can expect to be out in near future with more smoothness for the newer sense.
