I downloaded the app from google play but if i create new gesture the gesture do not work. The pre-defined gestures that come with the app work but new gestures do not work. Any idea why? My tablet is using android 4.4.2.
[Android Apps and Games] Omineca:
Are you pressing the checkmark at the top right corner when you're done setting up the gesture (to save it)? Just thought I'd check before a real trouble-shooter shows up.
[Android Apps and Games] Peter770:
Yes, i do. But i think the problem was that the app was getting the wrong resolution for the display.
[Android Apps and Games] Omineca:
That's kind of strange -- that the pre-existing gestures would have the correct dimensions and the new ones would not.
[Android Apps and Games] cantara256:
Anyone get this working on a Pixel 3 XL yet? It installs fine but none of the gestures do anything.
[Android Apps and Games] cantara256:
So I got it working by going I to Device Setup -> Birder Calibration. Now it works like a charm... Possibly related to changing the notch settings.
[Android Apps and Games] klausel:
I'm Loving this app so far and using it as replacement for my navbar.

Is there any option for getting the trigger area at the navbar position. So in portrait mode on the button area and in landscape on the right area.

My problem is whenever I'm in landscape mode the trigger area also moves to the buttom of the screen .ty
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
What is the use case for which you would like to access certain gestures from the bottom of the screen when in portrait and from the side of the screen in landscape? Just curious and thinking there may be a logical work-around.

You may be able to create a Tasker routine which, when the phone goes into landscape mode, allows per-app gestures with the trigger point located on the side of the screen and pauses the identical gestures that have the trigger point on the bottom, and, another routine which performs the opposite. The dev might help you to find the intents.
[Android Apps and Games] klausel:
Thanks for your reply.

As I mentioned it's my NavBar replacement, because the custom rom I use does not support proper software button remapping for my new device. I. E. Long press back to kill app, menu key nor adding buttons to pull notifications or quick settings.

So due to my liking and experience with hardware buttons I'm used to have the controls where the hardware buttons are normally located. So I. E. I accidental release home gesture on YouTube while in full screen mode.

I thought there might be any option or workaround for this, like orientation delta..

I'll give Tasker a shot.

I can't seem to get it working y Pixel 3 XL. It was working on my OG Pixel XL on Pie though.

Almost identical setup as to kernel and Magisk.

Any clues what dependencies we might look at? Perhaps a specific certain of BusyBox?
[Android Apps and Games] 93ae8074:
Works for me. Try this config in the picture:

And on a side note, I moved it to /system/priv-app with Magisk Systemize module just in case.

Working on Pixel 3, but still desperately needing maintenance. For one the vibration triggered by a gesture is not consistent with the system vibration settings. It gives a long and super mellow vibration compared to the more intensive and crisp vibration triggered by OS in events such as a home button tap and keyboard haptics.

Another issue is on lock screen, any gesture execution would incapacitate the app, i.e. it has to be force stop and restart to work again.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
There are separate vibration control settings in GMD settings. Did you play with these?
[Android Apps and Games] cswithxda:
Yeah turning it to 100 just extends its duration not intensity, it just becomes a very long mellow vibration. Very different from Pixel 3 vibration. Very hard to describe, the Pixel 3 now has a vibrator that feels different from all my previous devices :cyclops:
[Android Apps and Games] 93ae8074:
I can confirm both things. In my case not all gestures stop working after using one in the lock screen, but I experience same problem. In regard to vibration is happening too. The only thing that you can change is for how long it vibrates, not intensity or at least make it like system default intensity.
[Android Apps and Games] Carlos Nogueira:
Why was the "gestures anywhere" option removed??

I couldn't find it after the update
[Android Apps and Games] Techvir:
Still there.
[Android Apps and Games] zyguo:
Any Launchpad alternative recommendation?

Connect from shortcuts, perhaps. The build-in pads are hard to use
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
I've had a lot of fun over the years creating "launch pad" style widgets using UCCW, Overlays, and Elixir 2 Widgets.
[Android Apps and Games] vercetti:
hey, I've noticed that the action: "browser - new tab" only works in certain internet browser. it works in chrome, kiwi or Firefox but not in opera or dolphin browser. I can see the toast appear, so gmd recognizes my gesture, but in Opera or dolphin no new tab will open. In chrome or Firefox it will however.

is there a workaround to make this work in said browsers or does it work when you try it?

thx,

vercetti.

p.s. I'm running Oxygen OS beta 10 on the one plus 6 and I'm using GMD gesture control version 10.1.9.
[Android Apps and Games] backslashV:
did you ever find a solution to this? I am facing the same problem on the Pixel 3 XL.
[Android Apps and Games] cswithxda:
Nope, I never bothered to dig into the issue and it's gone. Originally it was also just intermittently an issue. Right now I'm on Dec patch and Pixel 3, I don't have the issue.
[Android Apps and Games] backslashV:
ya I didn't have issues on pixel 3 either.

Hey, I updated my xiaomi mi max 2 to lineage OS 16 (android 9) and I'm having the following issue. Shortly after installing the toasts show and the action executed fine however about 15 minutes later the toast shows and the phone vibrates but the action doesn't execute. Root is fine. If I clear the app storage (reset it), then it works again until I pick up my phone a bit later. Any fix for this? Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] L3TH4L:
I have similar issues in my pixel 2 xl running Pie (January security patch). I've systemized it and granted it every permission. I've also disabled battery optimization for it. App works as you'd hope after opening but stops working if you add new gestures or after about 5 minutes. The weird thing is that it still shows the toast notifications or will bring up the center launchpad, it just won't navigate to the selected apps. This being said, certain gestures (home action) works but other navigation features don't (last/next app). If I force close then disable and re-enable then it starts working again temporarily (5-10 minutes). Any help would be appreciated.

[Android Apps and Games] ReasonablyRooted:
Mine is fine in the background (Treskmod Pie), but at every reboot I have Tasker launch GMD, wait 2 seconds, and then go home.
[Android Apps and Games] lolotito:
Hi guys

I'm using since some years ago this app and I love it. Now I changed my music player and I tried to change it in gmd gestures app too. I record the manual gesture but there isn't any app to select.

An easy thing but now I found that when I want to list my apps to refer the gesture to the new player I'm using now, any app is listed unless gmd gestures.

I tried all the app's ways to do so but I couldn't.

Uninstalled and reinstalled too.

Of course I'm using the paid app.

I'm on Oreo 8.1

Any suggestion/help¿?
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
I can't imagine why the app is missing in the list. Have you tried initiating it through an "Activities" shortcut?
[Android Apps and Games] lolotito:
Hi again and thanks for your answer.

I tried the "Activities" shortcut but again the only option i can choose is GMD Gesture control anything else.

You can see it in the screenshot...

I really don't know what's happening.

All other gestures recorded before run perfect.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
GMD > Plus circle > Action > Shortcut > Activities

Scroll to find your music app, press it to drop down the menu, choose the shortcut that initiates the app. (usually it's the first one in the list, usually says "...activity.main")

Oh, wait, I just looked at your screenshot, nothing else appears in the "Action" list. That's a problem. The developer is always very responsive, you should contact him.
[Android Apps and Games] lolotito:
Thanks again once more for you answer.

I thought here was the way to contact for that.

I sent a mail days ago.

Waiting 4 answer

Bye
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
You must be rooted and have a recovery as long as you are using GMD.

So you can make a NAND backup if you like and try to wipe and rebuild dalvik cache.
[Android Apps and Games] cmkmkmk:
Make sure none of your gestures have the Active on Lock screen option in the Advanced Options settings set to on. Doing this, and only this, resolved the longstanding issue I had with GMD frequently stopping being functional.
[Android Apps and Games] L3TH4L:
Got it turned off on everything and still no dice. I've written it off and just use the gesture panel from active edge mod now. It's too bad because I loved this app for so long but with each Android update it became more of a love/hate relationship. Thanks for replying and trying to help though.
[Android Apps and Games] cmkmkmk:
You're most welcome! Sorry to hear it didn't help in your case!
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
Did you email the dev?
[Android Apps and Games] rogerinnyc:
Do you use Cerberus? I found that app, alone among my more than 200+ apps, interfered with GMD until I made Cerberus a privileged system app.
[Android Apps and Games] 93ae8074:
Yes, I posted in Kirisakura kernel thread about that long ago. With Cerberus not only GMD stops after some minutes, Maps, YTMusic, Google Music, and probably others I couldn't identify.
[Android Apps and Games] lolotito:
Thanks once more time

I'm not an expert but all what you wrote I've it on any phone I'm using and I know that all those things are necessary :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Jagr21:
Is there any way to give this app the necessary permissions using adb commands instead of root?
[Android Apps and Games] Techvir:
Nope this needs root access to work
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I don't have a solution right now but I'll just try to explain what is going on. The app basically has 4 parts:

Main Android app, root process that reads gestures, root process that executes root shell commands and root Android process that executes system API. Each part communicate to main android app through pipe. From what you described it looks like last process is crashing. The good thing is it works initially meaning the permissions are ok and so on. The tricky part is debugging why it crashes. I will try to review if something changed recently in system API.
[Android Apps and Games] addas4:
Hello guys!

I have an issue, Android Default Zoom Functionality breaks when I enable Gesture Service, even without anything (No Custom Gestures, just the default builtin)

I am running DevBase 6.0 Pie March 2019 Security Patch for my Samsung Galaxy Note8 N950FD Exynos

Thanks!

Waiting for your reply!

[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
I'm not sure I understand very well what you mean.

But if you're talking about pinch to zoom maybe you have setup a gesture that has the same/similar path and the option to consume touch events for that gesture is active
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
I has to thank your post as I found that I have the same problem now in Pie.

Could you please share how did you get this done.
[Android Apps and Games] 93ae8074:
Magisk and Systemize module will do the trick.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
Indeed Cerberus has to be installed as system app to have GMD work proper.
[Android Apps and Games] viva-yo:
Hi.

I have a problem: GMG GC doesn´t detect my root. But other apps like adaway or titanium do and work perfectly. What can be the problem?

My device is a Huawei mediapad M5 10,8
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
Go to your superuser page in your root manager app (Magisk manager for instance) and give root rights manually if they're not given.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
I must correct this. Cerberus still kills GMD service, despite that Cerberus is converted to a system app.

Samsung Galaxy S10 plus rooted with Magisk on Pie.
[Android Apps and Games] viva-yo:
Sorry if this is a stupid question. How do I launch Google assistant with gmd gestures? I can't find it

Enviado desde mi CMR-W09 mediante Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
You could use Tasker shortcut for instance and launch anything that Tasker can launch.

Update:

In Cerberus I switched off:

- block power menu on lockscreen (on my device it's blocked without unlock anyway)

- fake shutdown

Seems to be OK for now.

However if:

- I get an SMS (I think Cerberus listens for SMS commands)

- device gets connected by Cerberus Client app

It would still kill GMD's service.

For such cases I made a nova launcher shortcut from Tasker which kills GMD waits a quarter of a second, launches it without showing it in recent apps and goes home after that. This is for a quick and easy restart of GMD.
[Android Apps and Games] viva-yo:
If this app had tasker integration would be perfect
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
You can execute any tasker task with a gesture. What else did you have in mind?
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
Note that all the actions from GMD are available as shortcuts from Tasker or any other app.
[Android Apps and Games] viva-yo:
I know, but it's much more convenient to have all the profiles organized and accessible in tasker, where you can disable/enable them, add a second condition, etc

I got a problem with oneplus 3t with gmd gesture premium version.

When the gmd starts it works but after i turn off the screen then open again gmd doesnt work anymore.

The toast is coming up but it's not executing the command.

The workaround i did is manually force to stop gmd then open the app again but when i turn off the screen it happens again.

Any permanent fix for this? I rooted with magisk.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
That means the app is working but the service has been stopped by something.

Is GMD removed from the battery optimizations?

Do you have Cerberus installed?
[Android Apps and Games] kojakfull:
I disabled optimization and it still the same.

Yes i have cerberus installed.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
It's Cerberus

Look back a few posts and you will know what to do.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
To anybody who has Cerberus and have experienced problems because of it:

I suggest writing an email to Cerberus. We pay them annually, they know about this and they must correct it. I wrote to them a bunch of times. They are responsive. They claim it's not them, but every logic says that only after their app is installed other processes start having issues. I have problems with LastPass and other apps because of Cerberus.

Again if Cerberus causes problems:

Make Cerberus a system app by the use of Magisk systemize module and also consider revoking Cerberus root rights. It should still work as it should without them, but it will be way less abusive towards other apps and services.

I'm thinking about also reporting to Google about Cerberus and ask for an inspection of some kind for this app.
[Android Apps and Games] kojakfull:
Thanks! That fixed the issue. Cerberus needs to fix this.
[Android Apps and Games] Kholargol:
Hello,

I've rooted my Galaxy Tab S4 because I wanted to install GMD Gesture Root Pro (that I use for many years now app bec) but it seems the S4 is not supported. GMD is activated, I don't have any error message but nothing happens when I draw gesture.

So if the app is still maintained, could the dev add support for Galaxy Tab S4 Wifi (SM-T830) please (Android PIE)

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
Go in device setup and play with the touch device and touch event parser. Change them and also go back to the one you are at right now. This would refresh the setup. One of them should work for you.
[Android Apps and Games] Kholargol:
Indeed, it works with combination sec_touchscreen / Modern event parser

Thanks :
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
Perhaps it's a Pie issue, because the app works fine for me on the T830 on Oreo.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
May be he used TB to restore.

This happens sometimes after a TB app and data restore.

Found that no matter if Cerberus is a system or a user app, if you remove root for it, it will not misbehave towards GMD or other apps.
[Android Apps and Games] DaveX2012:
Remove root?
[Android Apps and Games] DaveX2012:
I wrote to Cerberus teams but no response from them about a month ago. How to reports them to Google.?
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
root for it only

revoke it from magisk app
[Android Apps and Games] DaveX2012:
Yeah if you revoked, then root functionality won't work for Cerberus.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
They don't say that any of their functions wouldn't work without root. They just say the app works "better with root". I don't know what that means. I revoked root and Cerberus works the same. I also have a few devices that are not rooted. They have Cerberus and it works as expected on them when I test the functions.

Everything works perfectly except when I enter an app where I have disabled gestures (say games), on exiting the geture still remains disabled until I launch any other randim app.

Also, on hiding notification it comes back on again and again.

Is there going to be a pie update or has devloper abandoned the app?
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
Also on pie here

I can confirm the geture still remains disabled until another random app is launched.

Doesn't bother me much.

I hope GMD lives on and I think the dev isn't so active as it simply works well for everybody.

I have similar issue on MI MIX2 phone with Android 9. All functions work but just except Home Button simulation.

So you want status bar to unhide, when you go to home screen?

I'm working on Tasker plugin to hide/show bar. I think this should cover all special needs.
[Android Apps and Games] kpuano:
I just installed the Lite version on my Asus Transformer TF101 running ICS and it worked perfectly. I REALLY liked this app, I bought my tablet recently and I always wanted to hide the notification bar when I wasn't using it, that was how I found your app. What firstly was a "bonus" to my needs, the gesture control is simply terrific and makes the interaction with the tablet much easier and intuitive.

Even though I didn't read the whole thread, I read something about the option to hide the bar for ICS being in Alpha stage and that there was no warranty of improvements in this area. Why is that? The known issues doesn't bother me, since I use a live wallpaper.

Finally, I'd like to thank you for this great app, I'm considering buying the Full version, even though the price is a bit high for me, as a brazilian.
