Fine, let me know whenever you want it :D

by the way, I've read something about 4-direction gestures evaluation, but can't find the corresponding setting in the app, do it has implement yet?
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Got feedback on market that Prev/Next App gesture cannot switch back to GTalk. Must be JB thing, cause I cannot reproduce it on ICS. Could anyone with JB confirm it and try some test version when available?
[Android Apps and Games] flydev:
yup, doesn't change to gtalk

also, i got an alert from supersu saying that gesture control has started (don't know if is because the app has crashed)
[Android Apps and Games] randommmm:
I can confirm that. And also other app have the same issue, e.g. a comic viewer name Perfect Viewer.

Would like to try some beta version... Jelly Bean, nexus

---------- Post added at 08:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 AM ----------

That happen to many background service app.

I thought it is because the system try to free some memory, they close background service sometimes, and the app will restart the service automatic... then you see the su toast.
[Android Apps and Games] flydev:
yes i know that, but this happens right after trying to switch to gtalk, so, i think must be related to this "bug"
[Android Apps and Games] randommmm:
oh, yes, I see that too. And here is the logcat right after I try to switch to GTalk.
[Android Apps and Games] billab0n6:
Everyone i open an app using custom gestures and when i press back... it goes back to edit screen at home screen... is there anyway it can be just back to home?
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Sorry, could you explain it in more details. What is 'edit screen at home'?

On my device, if I start application with custom gesture in Home screen, then Back button returns me to Home screen. If I start application while running other application (for example I use Crome and start Calculator gesture), then I return to that previous application (for example Chrome). I suppose it works differently on your device, but I don't understand how.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Anyone with JB remember if switching to GTalk was working in previous version?
[Android Apps and Games] randommmm:
just found this app 2 days ago... and there seem no way to download outdated version in google play. Will try it out if you send me the earlier versions
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Great, I'll do that when I get home.
[Android Apps and Games] billab0n6:
It goes to *attached* screen instead of home screen..
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Looks like it happens because of pinch gesture. After GMD recognizes gesture it executes action and "releases" multitouch event lock. So looks like your home screen manages to pick up that pinch gesture after GMD releases event lock. If you have full version please try creating custom gesture, something like 3 fingers upwards, and see if it behaves the same (it should not).

Other thing to try is to go to Settings tab and turn ON 'Evaluate gestures only on release'. This way GMD will wait till you release screen before executing the gesture.

Any ideas what is totally broken? Anyone using this ROM?
[Android Apps and Games] billab0n6:
Yeah I'm using the pro version and its not pinch action... I'm using galaxy s3 and i use 3 fingers up for whatsapp... and when i press the back button, it goes to that edit screen page instead of back straight to home screen, although it's no big deal but I'm just wondering if it's possible to just go back to home screen straight... thanks for the quick reply by the way :D
[Android Apps and Games] thedicemaster:
since 2.7.0 i encountered a problem when my navigation bar is disabled.

most of the time if the screen auto-rotates with the navigation bar disabled i get kicked back to the boot animation a few seconds later.

i have no problems when the navigation bar is visible.

the issue appears to occur in all apps with auto-rotation.

as far as i know the problem didn't occur on any older versions of gesture controls.

i'm using a galaxy tab 2 7" running CM9 RC2

i'll see if i can grab a logcat of the crash.

EDIT: i managed to get my answer from logcat.

apparently keyboard manager (app that switches keyboard based on orientation) doesn't like it when there's no navigation bar.

i disabled it, and now android no longer crashes when i rotate the screen without navigation bar.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
So next/prev to Gtalk is not working, because private API has changed in JB. In most cases regular approach works, but sometimes I need to fallback to root and private API. Updated XDA version and made API changes, but cannot test it myself.

If you just add Home action to LauchPad, does it behave the same?

Good that you solved it. There are limitation with killing status bar, so usually its better to use some system mod when it is available.
[Android Apps and Games] randommmm:
Issue seems fixed in this versions. Switch back and fro between GTalk and Perfect View as expected. Jelly Bean, Galaxy Nexus:good:
[Android Apps and Games] billab0n6:
Yeah... still the same... just a little frustrated that i would have to do another action just to go back to home page..haha
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
New version: 2.7.2

2.7.2:

- Fixed: Prev/Next on JellyBean cannot open GTalk.

- Minor fixes

I will try my friends S3 and see if it behaves the same. Or maybe someone else with S3 can confirm it?

I PM'ed you fix test version.
[Android Apps and Games] randommmm:
Do you mind make the Nexus calibration layout look better? Maybe start a new line for the number, it's a little weird change line in the middle of the number, not a big deal though
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Thanks, I will fix that in next update.

I plan on reworking calibration totally. Instead of calibration it will be 'Default gesture trigger zone', so you can narrow down the area where you can do gestures. I also plan to add possibility to define custom trigger zone for each custom gesture (default used if not defined). So you can create different action depending where gesture is started. Or have lets say upper part of the screen for all gestures, but allow some particular gesture to execute everywhere on screen, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] randommmm:
Wow, that is exactly I dream of a gesture tool could be, just feel it's asking too much so didn't post the request. ( For after tried tons of other gesture apps and none of them even meet my minimum demand, I am kinda frustration. Then suddenly GMD came into my sight... Believe me, I feel grateful everytime I stroke at the touchscreen now )

Will purchase the full version when I go home...
[Android Apps and Games] erew1:
I know gesture is set to be disabled on lockscreen... But can I choose to keep it?
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Not at the moment, however I plan adding option for custom gestures to allow execution on lock screen. Technically it is not a problem, I actually disabled them explicitly in the past.
[Android Apps and Games] billab0n6:
Bro...I'm unable to try using your lite version that u send me as i need to use custom gestures... :(
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
1) If you use default Home gesture, does it behave the same and opens edit screen instead?

2) You don't need to uninstall full app, just exit it and install that Lite. Try default Home gesture and see if it works properly.
[Android Apps and Games] billab0n6:
Bro, default home gestures bring me to home screen just fine...

But it's just if i use custom gestures for apps, when i press back on my s3, it will go to the edit screen page..

I just found out that if i use custom gestures on screen off, after i unlock lock screen, it will also be at the edit home screen page...
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
1) How many fingers and what gesture path are you using for Home?

2) Have you tried turning ON - 'Evaluate gestures only on release' in Settings tab?
[Android Apps and Games] polstein:
I feel kind of bad - I can't break the software with my crazy pause gestures & blacklist - it's all working perfectly!

Dream world is just the keyboard dodging issue with Keymonk, and I think I'm done.

OH - I reduced the # of apps I had in my launchpad from 20 down to 12 and I see a noticeable difference, unless you also did something in the new version to make it quicker.
[Android Apps and Games] herzau:
the border can be divided into various parts?
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Not in current version, but you can select 2 borders (for ex: left, bottom) and that would mean that gesture must be started from corner. Only 1 finger is enough on each border, so even 3 or 4 fingers gestures that start from corner work well and are easy to execute.
[Android Apps and Games] billab0n6:
Yep it's on... and i use two fingers down for screen off....
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Ok, so its related to touch events released after gesture and not home action itself. I need to think what I can do with it.
[Android Apps and Games] Psyloid:
Just found out about blacklist, it made my day :)

Would be awesome though if you could find a way to hide the bar when the keyboard comes up. I miss a lot of spaces when writing because the bar is up and i tap on the bar instead of the space key

Hee thanks for understanding but well, don't have to crack your head on this.... it will be nice to have a fix but why don't u try on your friend's s3 n see if I'm right...
[Android Apps and Games] gideonrs:
@StupidIdea: hi, StupidIdea! I bought this app yesterday.. very very nice! :)

But I have deep sleep problem when using ur app.

Tested:

INFO: Samsung Galaxy Note ICS 4.0.4 (CleaNote 4 custom ROM + NoteCore 12 STD, based on official)

- before installing, deep sleep.

- after installing, NEVER deep sleep.

- try to stop GMD service & kill GMD app, deep sleep again.

- activate GMD service, NEVER deep sleep again.

Thanks for ur attention, again: very nice app, thanks! :)
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Unfortunately it happens with some ROM's. At the moment I'm looking for a solution with the help of one user. Let me know if you could help test it too. I understand that it is not usable if device is not sleeping, so PM me your email and I will cancel and refund your purchase.
[Android Apps and Games] Psyloid:
What about hiding the bar when the keyboard pops up stupididea ?

Sent from deep space nine
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
There is one core problem: I can't find a way to detect keyboard from service. I will look at Android source if I can detect it with root.

My current plan (subject to change):

1) Minor update with small fixes (like calibration values layout)

2) Deep sleep problem on some ROM's

3) Toggle 2 last apps action and tap gestures. I think adding default gesture for 3 tap with 2 fingers (other suggestions for this action?). Custom gestures with any number of taps and any number of fingers.

4) Built in events protocol sample grabbing and emailing.

5) Calibration and gestures area

6) Investigate keyboard detection...

Can tasker or any other application (service) detect keyboard? I could not find it.
[Android Apps and Games] gideonrs:
No need to refund, my friend! :)

I'm totally 100% support dev with usefull app like this.

If there're anything that I could help for testing, just tell me. :)

If, at the end, we still can't find any solution, still no need to refund because usefull app developer is all we need for this android phone/community. And I wan't to support the community too :D ..

Thanks so much for your quick reply! :)
[Android Apps and Games] clel:
There should be a way to detect it with root, because, at least at ICS there is an Notification popping up after appearing of keyboard that lets one change the input method. After hiding Keyboard it disappears, so maybe you could try to detect this notification without root, or, if with root there must be a "service" that detects keyboards which you could use with root.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
New version: 2.7.3

2.7.3:

- Minor fixes

- Now service notification icon turning on/off work without restarting service and is much faster.

- When status bar is hidden, application now will enable notification icon (it is not visible anyway). This should prevent service restart and bar reappear. Let me know if for some reason you will see status bar notification icon when bar is displayed too.
[Android Apps and Games] gideonrs:
@StupidIdea: my deep sleep problem solved.. :D

(INFO: Galaxy Note N7000)

After update to CleaNote 5.0 & Notecore 12.3 (&12.5), without any themes, revert to SuperUser (using SuperSU before): deep sleep working! :)

So, the solution is not that clear but there, here's the change on my phone:

1. Change ROM (CN 5, before CN 4) ; FYI: CN is based on stock ICS

2. Change kernel (NC 12.3/12.5, before NC 12)

3. Change from SuperSU to SuperUser

4. Change theme (Stock from CN, before using Dark Blue Theme)

I'm just too lazy to test, which one is the actual solution.. :D but I'm very happy right now.. :)

Thanks, StupidIdea!
[Android Apps and Games] herzau:
No, only with third-party app (Swype, Swiftkey, ..)

have in your plans the option of separating the border in various parts?
[Android Apps and Games] hotelier1984:
It doesn't work for me. I uninstalled SuperSU and install Super User but still no deep sleep. I am on Notecore kernel and Kingdroid. (Not planning to change to CleaNote since i need call recording).

Anyway, i dont quite care for deep sleep. I actually solve the deep sleep problem by turning off the device right before sleep (true deep sleep). And then Chainfire's No Moar Powerah! will automatically power on the phone again in the morning 5 minutes before the phone is supposed to set off the alaram clock to wake me up.

This gesture app is too important to me and i am most willing to trade deep sleep for it
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I'm working on it and while it might take some time to fix I'm making good progress. At the moment I have developed means to tell from log cat if there is deep sleep problem and started narrowing down area that causes it. Part of gestures engine is implemented in native code for performance and my suspicion is that some native function triggers wakelock on some kernels.
[Android Apps and Games] plotinus:
This is one really great app. I love it. Hope you can find a workaround for deep sleep. But I'm using it even so. Great job man! What I like it's to have recent apps without pressing home button. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Only some ROM's in rare cases have deep sleep problem. In most cases everything works properly. Just open android battery statistic and if GMD GestureControl in not there, you don't have deep sleep problem. With this bug you would see some high percentage usage.
[Android Apps and Games] plotinus:
I'm gonna check with bbs also yo see if it's this app. Cause it doesn't shows up in stock battery stats. So maybe it's another app. Thanks for the help

SGS2
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Does anyone have 10.1 with stock ICS? I'm wondering if gestures work out of the box or it is needed to override parser to ICS_DEFAULT?
[Android Apps and Games] plotinus:
Hey. Maybe adding an option "turn off service when screen off" could help with deep sleep? Cause if I turn off gmd my phone sleeps

SGS2
[Android Apps and Games] randommmm:
I've one time and heard other meet this issue too:

GMD sometimes just stop function suddenly, the app was running, but show "No supported multitouch devices detected"... Someone tell me if manual choose a device override the auto detect will fix it, not sure does it work but I follow that, next time I meet this will dump a logcat.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
This only has happened on Galaxy Nexus and S3 to my knowledge. I attempted to fix it in 2.7.x, so if you still experience this, log cat would be very helpful.
[Android Apps and Games] plotinus:
I'm using Alliance v3 rom. But I'm not quite sure. When I turn on gmd my phone cpu stays at 200 but gmd doesn't shows up in bbs. Gsam battery or stock battery usage. But it's not deep sleeping. But when I turn it off my phone enters deep sleep. Could it be gmd triggering something and not allowing my phone to sleep?

SGS2
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Thanks, I will flash it and see if I can reproduce this.

Edit: installed and could reproduce it with this rom. I will investigate it further now.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
New version: 2.7.4

2.7.4:

- Fixed: device sleep problem with some custom roms.

- New devices: SmartQT20 (panda), Xperia Mini (smultron), PAT712-3D (crane-inet)

Sleep problem was present only with some kernels. Should be fixed now and sleep properly with all roms. contact me if you still have this problem after updating to 2.7.4
[Android Apps and Games] ErN35T:
Reporting iN, works perfectly with Skyworth S7, Stock ROM ICS 4.03 RK29Board, but default gesture settings works as a landscape if U get what I mean <--- Not a real problem i think...

Hide Bar works perfectly, background is not changed without busybox (changed to default with busybox)
[Android Apps and Games] PatcheZ:
where have i been, and how did i not see this app before?

thanks for creating such an awesome app, i've been waiting for an app like this for a long long time.

working perfectly fine on my sgs1 on cm9 rc2 so far.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I was actually thinking some changes are needed regarding rotation, cause its annoying when doing previous/next app gesture and some game force device rotation. For example if you want to jump several apps back and have some game that force rotation in between, then screen rotates when game is started and direction of gesture changes.

I will check if its possible to get "real" direction at some low level API or I just add option to ignore rotation for previous/next app. And since I'm going to look for different means to detect rotation I will keep in mind that current solution is not working on some devices and hopefully updated solution will fix that too.

Edit: I was not clear that I'm talking about next/prev gesture regarding rotation.
[Android Apps and Games] plotinus:
When my phone rotates gestures work fine. :)

SGS2

Why u not in Alliance rom!?
[Android Apps and Games] randommmm:
I have the suddenly not working issue again... logcat, should be something in the very end, just make sure GMD is still running then dump the logcat, logcat2 is dumped after I tried restarting the background service a few times. Restarting the app don't fix it this time, end up reboot to make it work again.
[Android Apps and Games] gideonrs:
@StupidIdea, I have Small Suggestion:

- (Galaxy Note) If I blacklist "pause gesture" for some app, can it be blacklisted too for multitouch rejection (consume multitouch events)?

I got small problem with writing app (I use S-Pen, with Papyrus app).

SOMETIMES (only sometimes) when I put my palm on screen (become multitouch), I can't write anything, as GMD recognize multitouch ( I set > 3 ) and all touch rejected.

I've tried blacklist "pause gesture" on this app (Papyrus), but the problem is still there.

Turn off GMD is the only solution (or turn off "consume multitouch events").

If I don't use (blacklist/pause) gesture in that app, isn't it better to auto turn off "consume multitouch events" in that app also?

Thanks, StupidIdea! Have a very nice day! :)
[Android Apps and Games] zhuozhi211:
Just come to report that the latest version solve the deep sleep problem of Sony Xperia S.

Thanks for following it up and notifying me :cyclops:
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
It actually work this way. Start browser, open some page and try scrolling with 3 fingers. It won't scroll if you have 'consume', but it will scroll if you pause gestures. I reviewed my code and only thing that I found is that if you trigger consume (with multitouch) before blacklist pauses gestures then consume is active till you release screen. I will fix that.

So I imagine if you put palm before pause starts then it would not work, but should start working if you release screen. After that you can put palm again, it won't 'consume' event anymore till pause ends. Is that the case?

Edit: fixed in 2.7.5

Uploaded 2.7.5 to market and XDA. Fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] roganjosh:
Hi, i've found that since upgrading to stock ICS on my Tab. 7.7 the Back command no longer works. I get the toast but it doesn't go back! Back still works fine if I press the back button on the status bar. Home and status bar toggle gestures fine still as well. Logcat attached!
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Are you using Superuser for su binary? This problem happens with old version of Superuser that does not support ICS well. Please install SuperSU from market, start it, update binary when asked. Start GMD GestureControl, grant permission. Let me know if this solves the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] roganjosh:
That fixed it, thanks! :D
[Android Apps and Games] lambstone:
I have got a suggestion, could we possibly disable specific notifications? For instance disable the auto hid bar toast?
[Android Apps and Games] Narenji89:
I use gmd full 2.7.3 on my jelly bean galaxy nexus.When I hide status bar, the phone doesn't ring when sms or email arrives.generally doesn't ring for notifications. Otherwise it works great in all aspects at least for me:) do you any solution???
[Android Apps and Games] Narenji89:
Can you please make a change in app wich adds ability to disable soft keys of galaxy nexus?? Without killing status bar ??
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Unfortunately status bar hiding involves status bar system process killing and there are some issues with this approach. I'm working on 'dim bar' option, so on tablet this would allow to dim status bar in any app and on phones this would hide bar without any issues but that is still in research stage.

I see you use outdated full version and I also cannot find order associated with your email. Please note that application is not developed by some company, but just by me on my free time. If you like the application and use it daily please consider supporting the development.
[Android Apps and Games] polstein:
I'm not sure why, but this is making me laugh way too much. Hope it turns out that it's just a case of different email or something & not just someone with an illegal copy asking for more features!

Any luck finding a way around the keyboard problem (or just ignoring that section of the screen)? That's the one thing that still causes me grief.

Quick update for me - in addition to my six 2-finger gestures, I'm testing out three 1-finger gestures that fire from the left side of the screen only. These are my one-thumb/handed gestures for just home (right-down), back (right-up), and launchpad (right).

Which brings me to my next, minor request. Possible to have an alignment for the launchpad to smoosh it over to one side so I can reach it one-handed? I'm going to test making it 6 or 7 icons wide (I use 4 now) and I'll just put blank/useless shortcuts on the right 2 columns. But I assume that will slow it down a bit.

Ideally, would be neat if I use my 2-finger gesture to launch the pad it is in the middle, and if I use my 1-finger gesture it shows on the left side.

VERY very very low on the list of silly things that users want. Not everyone has a Galaxy Note & can't reach all the way across the screen one-handed!
