This app is sooooo awesome! Only one thing: when the app isn't open, my gestures don't work. Is there a way to keep my gestures working, even when the gmd gesturecontrol app isn't opened?
[Android Apps and Games] nimrodity:
no but gmd is running in the background and keeps working, so where is the isssue here?
[Android Apps and Games] Dbrown8630:
You are right, it works now like it should. Weird :) Thanks!

Btw: I use this app as a replacement for the activator cydia tweak for the iphone. With that tweak it was allso possible to sign specific system actions to hardware buttons. For example: I used long press home button to skip a song. I really miss this feature by the way. Maybe it could be possible to add this to the app?
[Android Apps and Games] gabripranzo:
But is the developer still around here? It's a long time he seems to be completely disappeared :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] sebarkh:
Yeah, I also sent OP an email for a key for a dev version...hope he's allright... Two days and still no hear from him...

It's ok, anyway patience is a virtue :)
[Android Apps and Games] 91870:
why it doesn't work on my Xperia T? it is suposed to be multitouch but, I can't configure it.
[Android Apps and Games] hasenbein1966:
Doesn't work at all on my Xperia Tablet Z Wifi SGP311. :(

Anyone got this working on the device?
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
I sent my request for a key by PM and email three weeks ago and have not received a response.
[Android Apps and Games] lordofazeroth:
Excellent app, thank you.

I have one question:

I'd like to have back button and previous and next app as gesture.

Currently back is "2 finger left", previous is "3 finger left" and next is "3 finger right.

Back is interfering with swipe with 1 finger (e.g. homescreen)

Do you have a suggestion on how to define the back gesture to keep it easy but no interfering with other swipe/gestures, etc. ?
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
What do you mean by "interfering"?
[Android Apps and Games] sebarkh:
Received the key today. Maybe the dev has some difficult time..

Sent with Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT I9505)
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
No way. What email did you send your request to?
[Android Apps and Games] sebarkh:
Gmail one as in OP's profile and in app.

I suppose he is busy nowadays. Just try to remind Him of it politely, as I did.

S.

Sent with Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT I9505)
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Thanks, I will.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
Actually he is a very kind dev. I had some communication with him and he was always very helpful and very responsive.

As we see now he has taken some time away and probably has a busy personal life, but we know he has big plans for this project as discussed some pages back and his ToDo list is quite ambitious:good::)
[Android Apps and Games] sebarkh:
Life is not only programming... sure thing... he's done a massive work already.

[Android Apps and Games] lordofazeroth:
I mean, its swipe left and then its the GestureControl Gesture.

e.g.: the homescreen swipes left and then there is the back command execeuted by GC.

Not just in launcher, other apps too, ES Explorer, pictures etc...

€dit:

Another thing:

Is there a way to control the brightness with GC?
[Android Apps and Games] californicated:
That's exactly why I'm using the tablet gestures on my XZ, altough you will need both hands to control your phone..
[Android Apps and Games] lordofazeroth:
Finally found out that 3 or more touches arent sent to other apps.

Tried to set that to 2+, but then zooming in browser isnt possible any more.

Changed all gestures to 3 or more touches, works now.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Your solution seems onerous, and I wonder if it's necessary. Please forgive me for not quite understanding something you said. With respect to your statement, "zooming in browser isn't possible any more", do you mean that you set up, in GMD, two-finger, pinch- and expand-to-zoom gestures, and that they conflict with the pinch- and expand-to-zoom gestures that are built in to the browser? The reason I ask is because I use over thirty two-finger gestures, including pinch-/expand-to-zoom, without any conflicts.

Sent from my SGH-T889 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] lordofazeroth:
Ok, from the beginning:

I am using this on my Galaxy Tab 10.1, JB CustomROM, not using the predefined gestures.

First I added the ipad-to-homescreen-gesture: 5 finger pinch and

back-gesture, 2 finger to the left, in the settings there was no more than 3+ touches for other apps set.

5 finger works fine, but when I am on the homescreen or ES Explorer and swipe back (2 finger left) the app reacts too:

It recognizes a swipe left and then the back button is executed.

then I set that no more than 2+ touches are sent to other apps.

Means, Opera is not zooming anymore as only 1 touch is sent.

then I set that 3+ touches arent sent to the apps and set all gestures with 2 fingers to three fingers.

That worked. now no additional swipes are recognized by (e.g) launcher or ES.

PS:

right now I have that set to 5+ touches as I am now only using 5 touch gestures.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Well, if it's working for you this way I guess it's fine, but, if you want to go back to two-touch gestures, you could enable "evaluate gestures only on release", which I think would solve most of the problem, and, perhaps you could try some diagonal patterns, for example, a down_left-down_right gesture for the back command.
[Android Apps and Games] hasenbein1966:
Er... it's working! :)

I had to enable (in "Advanced") "Override touch events parser detection" and choose "ICS_DEFAULT".

Just for all Tablet Z users who are gesture fans! :)
[Android Apps and Games] lordofazeroth:
Will try.

How many of your gestures (two or more t0uches) are horizontal and vertical only?
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Here you go.
[Android Apps and Games] lordofazeroth:
Thanks.

Could you post screenshots of settings-touch consumption and Advanced, please?
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
I have all of those settings off.
[Android Apps and Games] lordofazeroth:
Ok, still getting additional recognized touches by the visible app.

So "Consume multituoch events" is off and "Consume events in starting zones" too in Touch consumption and

"evaluate gesture only on release" is On?
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Yes, those are my settings.

BTW, don't get me wrong; when I said that I use all these two-touch gestures without conflicts, I didn't mean that a given app in the foreground doesn't register the touch, but, rather, that it doesn't cause any problems.

For example, when I use the browser, I often zoom in to read, which expands the size of the page beyond the limits of the screen, so that I need to scroll down and sometimes pan left and right. In such a situation, when I execute a gesture, the browser does register the touch, and the page does move. But this does not present an issue, because the gesture works (initiates an app, for example), and the browser is simply pushed into the background.
[Android Apps and Games] Agassiz:
hi :)

would it be possible to add something like "mouse control" so that one could execute gestures via a connected mouse? - i use the mygica (geniatech) ATV1200 and would love to use this app to hide the status/navigation bar (in 4.1) but i can't seem to get my logitech keyboard / mouse combo to work. is it, because the mouse isn't multitouch? but as i saw in the pro version, one could add gestures with just a single "touch" event - that would be the left mousebutton. that would be great. or is it already possible, but i simply don't see how to configure it?
[Android Apps and Games] LRC1710:
Man I'm using the gesture to go from previous to next applications and vice versa, and I like it a lot, however the transition is a bit laggy, I mean the animation is fine but it takes some time after I did the gesture to perform the action, so it doesn't feel as natural, a friend can do the same with a jailbreak tweak on this iPhone 5 and as soon as he starts the gesture, the app starts switching to the next one, here is not quite as responsive it takes a little bit of time, and its kind of annoying so hope you can work on a way to make that transition faster ! Keep up the good work and thanks !

Transitions are immediate, fast, and smooth on mine.
[Android Apps and Games] 2BARBOSSA:
Wow great idea and job!

unfortunately i'm running ICS as many others.
[Android Apps and Games] LRC1710:
So as son as you start moving your finger, the app starts switching inmediatly ? I mean the animation is as responsive as for example pulling down the notification bar? Mine is not

Enviado desde mi LG-E975 usando Tapatalk 4 Beta
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Well, let me put it this way.
[Android Apps and Games] LRC1710:
Not a good example, I said the animation is perfectly fluid, the problem is that it doesn't follow my finger, it starts just a little late so it doesn't feel as responsive, do the same video but recording yourself using your fingers and you'll see what I mean

[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Ah, I think I see. So the problem is with dragging-type gestures, but not with tapping, such as I used in the screencast?

Are these the types of gestures with which you are having trouble?
[Android Apps and Games] lordofazeroth:
Is there a way to kill all apps in JB-recent-apps?

There is something to kill the foreground app ,but not all.

With Autokiller Memory Optimizer it is not possible either, as I haven't found an activity for doing that. Apparently AMO does not have activities as its not in the list or I havent found it.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
You can use Tasker and this plugin to create a task.

[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Need a detailed step-by-step description of how you configured the gesture.
[Android Apps and Games] Frankie_Ho:
im sure that i set the custom gesture correctly since i also did the same thing in my nexus 4 n it works well.

my fd using lg gk also hv trouble in using gmd in his phone but works well in his nexus 4 too
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Ah, then it's a phone-compatibility issue. In that case, I wouldn't be able to help, but the developer might.
[Android Apps and Games] xdafundorin:
O would love to see more advanced launchpads with customizable icon size/grid/background. It would also be nice to have horizontal scroll for launchpads, ability to add shortcuts to them and have shortcuts for them to start from other places, apart from Gesture Controls. For now, I'm using launchpad for a very fews apps and Folder Organizer's folders for others, but I prefer to stay with only one app - Gesture Control. Thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] oias.heeda:
Has anyone managed to use letters as their gestures? I have tried to draw then with the commands, proving a little difficult.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Perhaps you should try Graffiti using the draw feature, if you are on the test build, or, if not, you can craft modified, single-stroke, letter symbols with the path method.
[Android Apps and Games] oias.heeda:
To launch apps, or just as a keyboard replacement?
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
I thought you meant that you wanted to use gestures that look like letters to launch apps, shortcuts, etc. Sorry if I misunderstood.
[Android Apps and Games] oias.heeda:
Don't be sorry. That's exactly what I want to do. That way I can remember when I have a lot of gestures what they all do. :)
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
That's precisely what I do. I have over fifty gestures that I use all day, and, the only reason that I can remember them is because each one looks like either a letter, or, a part of a letter, that stands for the first letter in a word related to the command, or, a symbol, the shape of which is related in some way to the command it executes. For example, I use a path L-D-R to open my calendar because it forms a square "C" figure. That one was easy, as were the first twenty or so. After having designed forty gestures, I had to get creative. For example, the gesture that opens my phone app is the path R-D-L, because it forms the top part of the letter "P". A symbol (recorded) that looks like a door runs a Tasker task that toggles indoor/outdoor settings.
[Android Apps and Games] oias.heeda:
Yeah nice. It would be great if this app added a feature where in the gesture setup screen you could basically draw any pattern to assign to an action. Instead of the rigid u-l-r commands. Still a great app though.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
That's what I meant when I said "if you are on the test build". It does have that feature.
[Android Apps and Games] oias.heeda:
Ah. Ok. Sorry, being vague. Test build of GMD or Graffiti?

A feature request:

As already written I set "Consume multitouch events" to 5.

Unfortunately I cannot use 10 fingers on the keyboard then.

Is it possible to add a feature which turns off this Consume MT events if the keyboard is on screen?
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Alternatively, you could enable "disable while keyboard is on screen" for the troublesome gestures individually.
[Android Apps and Games] lordofazeroth:
I meant keeping "consume MT events" in normal operation but disabling it when keyboard is visible.

I guess with your solution when all custom gestures are deactivated when keyboard visible then the "consume MT events" is still active when activated.

€dit:

Yes, its still active.

more than 5 is not possible when the keyboard is there.

But due to interferences I'd like to keep the consume mt gestures
[Android Apps and Games] xdafundorin:
Are you planning to add Pie Control, as an action? Would love to see this feature in GC.
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
Oh my god. That graffiti was amazing. I remember writing as fast as an insane freak on my old palm tungsten xD
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
I know, right? I never had a Palm, but I did use Graffiti on the Kyocera in the photo linked in my sig. When you flipped down the dial pad, there was the Graffiti alphabet on the inside so you could refer to it as you wrote on the screen.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
I have a problem:

I moved to HTC One and now with Android 4.2.2.

When I was in a call on my older phone (HTC one X) and the screen was offed by the proximity sensor, all GMD gestures didn't work.

Now they're working and this way start many things while I'm on the phone.

I tried putting "phone" and "contacts" in the GMD black list for apps that pause gestures, but it works for contacts (works also for other apps, which I have in this list), but unfortunately not for phone for this particular device. I don't even get the toast message on phone that the gestures are paused, like I'm getting it on the other apps which are in that black list.

Edit: I think it is a kernel issue. I use custom kernel and I will check there.
[Android Apps and Games] jarayn:
Hi. I want to create a gesture for the last app function that I think comes from aokp

It just toggles between the last two used apps. I don't know how to do it. The function can be assigned to a nav bar key or even a PIE button but I would really like it to be a gesture.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] DHM47:
The app already has this function under actions > application manager> alt - tab
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I made short pause in Gesture Control development as I was working on other apps, but now I will resume it. However I'm canceling development key generation and will be using Play Store beta channel for full version instead as it will be more convenient for everyone.

[Android Apps and Games] Jimmy34742:
Well that completely sucks. I mean, I understand your reasons, but more and more devs are forcing beta users to publish their personal and confidential information. I simply can't sign up for Google+ for privacy reasons. Isn't there some other method of distributing betas that's almost as convenient as Google makes it just so that they can publish even more information about me to the world?

Yes, people who put a low value on others' privacy will respond that it doesn't matter, and that everyone should be chill like you, etc., etc., but please don't bother.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
No its not. It uses less that 1% of battery and does not even appear in battery stats. So it would be nice to see some screenshots/statistics before making posts in all caps. Even if it used battery on your device, then its particular device related problem. As I said on most of devices it does not use battery.
[Android Apps and Games] hasenbein1966:
I can confirm that the app uses nearly zero battery. Using it on a Nexus 7 and a Sony Tablet Z, working great - indespensable and inobtrusive app.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Does GMD Work on the HTC Google Nexus One?

I tried, but no dice. Should it work, or is the phone incompatible? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] monplacido:
i just started using this Application on my S3! I always get jealous of my friends cause they are using gesture controls (Zephyr) on their iOS devices. But hey, this is better! You can use your custom gestures too! Kudos to the developer! more power... :victory:
[Android Apps and Games] Jimmy34742:
req: make re-ordering easier

It is extremely difficult to reorder the app in the custom gestures list on my S4: it's very hard to "catch" the app so that you can drag it up or down with your finger. I mean really difficult. Sometimes I have to make 5-6 attempts to catch it, and then if I drop it in the wrong place, I have to catch it all over again. I would guess this is because the invisible area on the left side where you drag isn't wide enough. In any case, can something be done to make re-ordering the apps easier? It's important because I have so many custom gestures that it's best to keep them organized so that I can keep track of them easily.
[Android Apps and Games] paulwong2013:

Battery Life - Freezing/Defrosting Apps

I posted this over in the Tasker forum, and thought it might be of interest.
[Android Apps and Games] hasenbein1966:
No, is not of interest, because much better than your solution is to use "Greenify".
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Thank you for your comment about Greenify, which, I'm sure, not everyone had run across. It represents a fine effort by professional developers.

Of course, my intention in sharing with the community the primitive results of my tinkering is merely to offer up an idea for discussion, and, ideally, more expert analysis and implementation than I ever would be capable of contributing.

By the way, when I tested Greenify, I found that when certain apps were called out of "hibernation", their functionality was compromised, and they had to be restarted. This only happened with Google Maps, Google Plus, Flipboard, and Dolphin.
[Android Apps and Games] spacepanda:
That's simply not the case for me with any apps with Greenify. He even had GCM working, so the user should hardly notice. It might add at most a extra half second but you shouldn't be doing it to frequently used things as well
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Very good point. To get the most out of Greenify, you really have to be selective about which apps to include.
[Android Apps and Games] grondinseane:
GMD GestureControl has got to be hands down the best app in the play store... mixed with GMD Hide Soft Keys I was able to get the exact look I've been going for. Great job dev. The only thing I would like to see is the ability to chance launchpad icons... either individually or by selecting existing packs. As well as a few more theme options...a "lucid" theme in particular would be perfect...it's basically a 50% transparent black with no borders and a very slightly rounded corner. Other than a few cosmetic touches I couldn't be happier with this app... more screen space :)
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
New version 6.3.2

6.3.2:

- Added Android 4.3 support.

Development version reverted to 6.3.2 too (same as production).
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
No recordable gestures any more?
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
1. Is the production version identical (same features and functionality) to the development version now, or are there still two different apps?

2. Can we install 6.3.2 on top of 7.0.0-dev, and will gestures and settings be retained?
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
No, I needed to add 4.3 support fast, so added it to prod branch :o. It was just a prove of concept version anyway. And as mentioned before, I will post next development version to Play Store beta channel.

1. Yes

2. No, it will fail. It is different save format and it does not have graphical gestures support.

You only need to upgrade if you have 4.3.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
I sure want to help testing the dev versions to the limit, but unfortunately without an option to backup and import the gestures and settings (may be also calibration) it stops me from doing it. To completely test the dev version I just have to start using it, but I have so many gestures that having to create them again is making me lazy. :)

Once have that option available I think we could be more useful.

Looking forward to all your new ideas!
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Agreed. I'm up to over 100 gestures, half of them recorded.
