i enabled the override on hd2, restarted phone but no sign of gestures working
[Android Apps and Games] RubenRybnik:
Using this on the Transformer Prime TF201 ... Everything seems pretty good overall, my only current complaints( really just minor things )

1.) Sometimes gestures seem to lag, and take 3 - 5 seconds before the action launches, haven't been able to narrow down why this happens, but it happens many times throughout a full days use.

2.) I really wish the quick launcher was a little more 'feature rich' tried to find a good replacement to assign a gesture too but couldn't find any that A.) Looked good( yea, I know, functionality is first but looks come second lol ) and B.) Actually launch correctly via a custom gesture. It would be great if the launcher could take themeing, maybe had an option to show recently used apps or running apps under the quick launch icons, and lastly showed up faster, the launcher lags the most out of all functions.

Other than these two issues everything else seems to be great :) Very nice work.

Hi StupidIdea,

I have been using your app for a few weeks since I purchased your app through market.

I updated to 2.0 today and noticed Battery Drains faster than before.

I checked battery usage and this app is second after display usage.

I also checked using 'BetterBatteryStats' app and noticed your app is most battery draining apps in list unfortunately.

I am using Galaxy note and I am also using tablet mode through Stunner rom

As far as I remember, it was fine before. But I dont remember which version was ok. So I am wondering if there is any way I can use older version of this app as I cannnot use 2.0 due to rapid battery drain.

Thank you for your great work
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I guess something went wrong with update. v2.0.0 don't have any significant changes, that would cause it. Only a few more actions, that don't do anything if they are not triggered. Please try uninstall and clean install and let me know if it helps. Application includes native library and for some reason Android in rare cases has problems updating it properly.

Anyone else experience this?

There are several reasons why it may lag from time to time. I have some ideas that I hope will improve things. In version that I'm about to release I moved big part of parsing from java to native code. This should also help a bit.

LaunchPad mainly lags when Android kills activity. Other applications (like SwypePad) have activity always active as overlay with small button. This (theoretically at least) should lag a bit. My launchpad is idle so Android recycles it sometimes. Then on next triggering I need to recreate it and this takes some time. I will see what I can do about this.

I do plan to work on UI after I finish tasks related to gestures (gestures checking on screen release still waiting my attention, and with this option enabled applications also be faster, because it will have less events to check).

I think recent apps option in LaunchPad is good idea, I will add this.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Updated XDA version

Changes in version:

2.1.0:

- New option: Select consume multitouch event points count threshold.

- New advanced option: Override detected multitouch device and parser

- New option: Turn off icons display for previous/next application

- New option: Round-robin mode for previous/next applications

- New option: invert previous/next default gesture direction

- Fix: some applications could not start with previous/next action

Could not make previous/next toast to appear faster. I do feed them fast to Android, but then they get lost somewhere in Android jungle.

As mentioned in previous post, I moved some part of gestures parsing to native code. Let me know if you experience problems (basically if gestures stop working).

Now I want to check a few log files and add their protocols. If I don't find something critical, I will update version in market later this evening.
[Android Apps and Games] pseudoheld:
if i buy this in the market will i be able to use the xda versions as full version???

i really like testing out new features but if there is only a lite version with new features available that would kinda make that point moot :S

just updated and once again it aint working on my tab :S

set the parser to ICS_DEFAULT but it isn't detecting anything. tried ICS_Note and all the others but no sucess :S

reverted back to v2.0 and its working fine with sec_touchscreen and ICS_DEFAULT. 2.1 doesn't react when set to exactly the same :S
[Android Apps and Games] clel:
So, is there another option than toasts to display the indicators?

Edit: At http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/Toast.html#setDuration(int) I found the method "public void cancel ()". Maybe that can help you with the problem.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I cancel old toasts, but the toast still is wondering somewhere. I don't have old toast in pipe, and I call show right before starting application.

I will look at it more deeply, but could not find fast fix yet.

Other option would be overlayed activity. I will try if that works better.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Checking what might be wrong.

XDA version won't unlock with full version from market. I wan't to switch to key based purchase, but then everyone would have to reinstall application.
[Android Apps and Games] RubenRybnik:
Wow ... Great info from the Dev ... Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my feedback and give some details on what's going on. Great to see some of the things I mentioned are on your radar, what a great app with great support!
[Android Apps and Games] trustme_:

[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
XDA version fixed. Should be working for everyone who dare to test :)

A100 ICS devices confirmed to be working with XDA version (thanks to for testing Sean).

Waiting for Sony S ICS confirmation.

As for custom Cyanogen kernels, that updated protocol I'm not sure yet how to recognize what parser they need to use, so for now please use override option.

I saw the mention in one of the Android news sites and thought I'd try it. Doesn't seem to work on my HTC Evo View 4G tablet. I recalled that the OP mentioned what to do to troubleshoot. I downloaded the special version of the trial app (BTW is it really a special version?) and I couldn't find the Help menu. Only after downloading a second time did dumb luck show me that the list of menu items would scroll.

Let me suggest that gets mentioned in the directions for troubleshooting a device unless that's typical Android behavior that I've never noticed before. My first Android tablet was an Archos bought 16 months ago but I've never ever scrolled menu items before today.

I've sent off my screenshot email so I'm waiting on getting support for my ”daily” 7” tablet as this seems to be very useful especially as it would hide the bar on my ICS transformer which is a bit too bulky for me to use as often as I'd like.

[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I emailed you response.

It is not special version. It is same as in market. Just I update XDA version with development version more frequently. I aggree that user interface needs some love again. For setting screen maybe UI like in Android setting would work. I still need to finish some features in next 1-2 versions, and then I will review UI of setting and launchpad.

2.1.0 on Transformer TF101 has issue with Next Prev not working, the app is constantly requesting root access seen as toast messages from Super Su. Works perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy S2.
[Android Apps and Games] kevdliu:

[Android Apps and Games] interqd:
just installed new version on my sensation running ICS, i bought full version

but directly my sensation become much hot..

using old version on my iconia a500 and its good, not dare to update it on iconia..

please fix this. thx
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Thanks, I know what causes it. I will fix it a bit later. I used internal function that requires root to start application, so switching is faster, but looks like it is not available on all systems. I will change it to standard way.

Key up event is different in your protocol, thats why only first gesture is registered. I will prepare test version later.

I PM you for details. New version in general should generate much lower load than previous. Basically application is sleeping blocked between touches. On my device after 10h usage application is not even displayed in battery stats. So if somebody is experiencing similar problems please contact me, I want to investigate and fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I'm thinking to change default gestures and disable border requirement by default:

Home - 4 fingers swipe down (current 4 fingers pinch)

LaunchPad - 4 fingers swipe up (current 4 fingers expand)

Back - 3 fingers down (current 2 fingers down from border)

Bar - 3 fingers up (current 2 fingers up from border)

Prev/Next - 4 fingers left/right (unchanged)

Should I include legacy option for current setup, or just drop it, cause new ones are better?

Any other ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] Psyloid:
Please do not change the default single touch gestures ;)
[Android Apps and Games] pseudoheld:
feel free to change it. if anyone doesn't like it they can make custom gestures.

i don't really like four finger gestures. kinda hard to use. i mostly use 2finger or 3finger gestures.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
You use single touch? :rolleyes: I didn't even add default for previous/next apps. Considered single touch deprecated. I might reconsider it then. Anyway single touch stays. They are good for testing :)
[Android Apps and Games] qubz:
New version is great btw. A problem; sometimes the icons display for prev/next app even though turned off :eek:

Really liking things the way they are, minus a few bugs and optimisations. Please don't change anything too much!
[Android Apps and Games] sdfghi:
I use the current pinch and expand for home and launchpad options, especially the pinch to home thing works quite well and is really satisfactory to use.

Anyways, is it possible to exclude certain apps from prev/next application. Mine always gets stuck at the screendim app that I use?
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Exclude will be added. Just considering where to put settings and how it should work. Exclude mechanics is already implemented (I already exclude Launcher and LaunchPad :o). Probably add new tab in settings. I'm worried it is crowded as it is. I also think I can change next/previous so it won't get stuck if application closes (now stack current position jumps back, if application automatically closes, thats why it looks like stuck).
[Android Apps and Games] Psyloid:
Yes i use singletouch, restricted to border start, i'm too lazy to put more fingers on my screen :-) lol :-)

Got a few custom ones for the actions that were missing, never accidentally launched an action. So i'm happy as it is :-)

New pro version works great btw B-)
[Android Apps and Games] clel:
Please add an option to include/exclude Launcher as well, because I think that it might be helpfull for working with it.
[Android Apps and Games] raynerape:
It's a welcome change.
[Android Apps and Games] firefly6240:
Awesome app! I tried the free version for all of 2 minutes before deciding to buy the full version.

Its totally worth it!

Thanks! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Marvout:
Please, it is multi-touch that's archaic. <grin> I feel rather ignorant pawing at my screen with my whole hand. Don't neglect single touch, particularity when it can be done with a stylus. Multi can't.

I used a Palm for a dozen years. One of the coolest things I had set up was an app that allowed me to long press the hard buttons and set them to shortcuts to specific apps. There were four durations of long presses that flashed the screen for each of the levels. ....The point being, that from device off, with a single button push, I could get to one of 16 apps (4 buttons, 4 press durations).

Now, with your app, I can get close to that. Once I've got the screen unlocked, I can get to any app I set up with a single swipe, no matter what is on the screen.

I'm starting to set up my collection of swipes. Lots of from-the-side single touch stuff. One thing I've found so far; I'd like to have (starting from the left side for example) a L-U swipe and a L-U-L swipe. If I set up a three step that is 'bigger' than a two step, I can't get to the three step.

Still experimenting...

Upgraded to CM9 (ICS) on my Galaxy Tab 7 Friday, found your app Sunday, bought it Monday. Yup, I'm impressed.

I hate to report this, but the new version broke Back on my TF101. Also the app keeps asking root access and I had to remove toast to avoid constant annoying messages. Also, switching to Play app doesn't display the app itself, stays at the last app prior switching.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I think I PM'ed you, you can donate 5$ and send me you google account email and I will generate you key to unlock Lite version.

Looking into it. I will PM you with test version if you don't mind.

By the way, are you using Speruser or SuperSU?
[Android Apps and Games] raynerape:
SuperSU
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Please try version from XDA. I added some experimental code to my root process in release version (but it was not used yet, however additional dependencies can cause problems). Now I removed it. Lets see if it helps.

Having similar problems to raynerape with a Transfer Prime. EOS v2 ROM. Previous and Next doesn't always work. Latest Play Store version.

Haven't changed ROMs since the previous version which didn't have this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Does Back gesture works for you?

I checked raynerape log cat and problem there is that I cannot start my root process. In that case all actions that require this process fails. This usually is solved with SuperSU install, but he is using SuperSU, so I'm still thinking how to solve it.

With Revolver 4 on TF101 sometimes when I kill the status bar, I can only get it working again if I reboot the tablet.

More people with this kind of problem?
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Yes, it was reported that Status bar has problems on revolver ROM. I think best solution would be to add bar toggle functionality inside custom ROM and expose it through launcher shortcut. AOKP did just that. Then bur hiding can be bound to gesture as shortcut and it works properly without killing process.
[Android Apps and Games] Psyloid:
Did you try the "show statusbar on screen unlock" option and then lock/unlock the tab ??

[Android Apps and Games] MagicMicky:
Hi there! Great app you developed around here! It kinda changed the use I have of my tablet!

But since last versions, something seems to be messing with borders. my custom gestures that should start from the borders can now be triggered anywhere on the screen. I tried re-calibrating the screen, or setting back to default, it's always the same!

I'm on a Motorola Xoom (running eos95), with the last paid app from the market

And here another bug/feature request :

Could there be some kind of priority on task? In fact, I'd like to set up 3 custom gestures, each with three fingers up, but one starting from bottom left, one from bottom, and one from bottom right. Last time I tried it, I found out that the bottom action where always triggered, even if I do the bottom left gesture.

I hope I can aged to make myself clear!

Once again, thanks for the app!
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Could you send me protocol sample from your device. I don't have it for XOOM. You will find instructions at the end of first post. Border detection works on my device, so I'm afraid it can be caused by some slight protocol differences. Last version contains small changes in parser in order to be more abstract and cover broader device range.

I also need protocol sample for TF201 in order to fine-tune it. Could someone make one? Again, instructions are on the end of first post. Thanks.

Gestures problem will be addressed in next version. It will contain option to evaluate gestures only when releasing screen. Now gestures are evaluated on the go, so if you have "down" gesture, you will not reach down-left, because down will be triggered before. But with this new option, full path will be evaluated, so if you do down-left, down will never be executed.
[Android Apps and Games] raynerape:
StupidIdea, I should apologize for my own stupidity, it seems my current ROM has been using Superuser (I re-ROM'd recently) and of course Back wasn't working due to bugs you mentioned before - I now changed to Super SU and although Gesture Control didn't work with Back on first reboot, a reinstall of Super SU finally made Back work as it should. So it's not GC problem, I should have been more careful when bug reports.
[Android Apps and Games] cellneuron:
Works nice. A little bit slow in touchpad cm9 formal nighties. The 4 finger pinch to home cause lots of problems. Swiping left or right acutally mixed up with pinch to home. I guess it didn't tell the difference between pinch and minimal movement while swiping. 5 finger pinching to home will be much better also error-free.
[Android Apps and Games] pissos13:
Yes.

When i unlock statusbar isnt shown...
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Good to know you managed to solve it.

Experience might vary depending on multitouch device. But you can disable default gesture and create custom one for 5 finger pich or 4 fingers down, etc. Even Lite version allow 1 custom gesture.

Status bar hiding is only as good as it is. It works on many devices/ROMS, but on some it don't or cause problems. Best solution is to ask ROM developers to implement bar hiding inside ROM and expose toggle as launcher shortcut. AOKP Milestone 5 did just that and pseudoheld reported that it works perfectly when assigned to custom gesture. And I will add automatic recognition for AOKP shortcut, so it will be used instead of my internal implementations. It is easier to do proper bar hiding inside ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] MagicMicky:
Hi!

I've sent you everything you asked for the motorola Xoom. I hope I did it right!

And, as a reaction to your last post @StupidIdea, EOS has implemented in their rom the hide statusbar (which can be triggered from the power menu), how do you think I can set it up instead of your trick to hide statusbar?

Until now, I've installed a mod witch adds an application to hide statusbar, but it disabled my power off button.
[Android Apps and Games] raynerape:
StupidIdea what's coming in the future version?

Will exclusion of apps from Next Prev make it in the next version?
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Logs are perfect.

I cannot map power menu item, but maybe they can make launcher shortcut for this?

No, maybe into version after this.

In this version I'm adding:

* Gestures execution on screen release - promised this long ago, time to finish with it.

* If you execute gesture that starts some application and that application is already running, application that was running before (or home screen if it was started from home) will be started. This was suggested by one user and it is easy to implement. I think it can't hurt :o

* Still trying to fix toasts.

* Maybe some new devices support.
[Android Apps and Games] RubenRybnik:
Hey StupidIdea, any ideas on the lag of launching gestures yet? Or am I the only one that gets that > 3 second wait time after many gestures? Also when launching the Launchpad. I know you said launchpad gets wiped by android to clear up memory, but maybe an option to always keep it running in background / in memory? That way showing it would be instant?

Performance issues are really the only thing keeping me from using this on a daily basis on my Transformer Prime.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] raynerape:
This is actually cool, because it lets you quickly swap to an app and back with a single gesture. I don't use app-specific gestures but those who do would really love this.
