I have the same problem, still figure it out, also the launchpad not working
[Android Apps and Games] Valiante:
I started using another app with gesture control + this.

The other app is called "xposed edge". Notification pull down works flawlessly
[Android Apps and Games] Reechings:
Any idea why certain icon packs don't apply correctly when trying to change icon for centre launchpad? Atomic and Supreme work fine but Moonshine and Glim it lets me choose the new icon but doesn't apply.
[Android Apps and Games] Odballenc:
Need help!

I have a Huawei P9 LITE L23 emui 4.1, this app often crashes. I put it in every white list I found, but keep crashing after a while. What can I do?
[Android Apps and Games] basimzanaty:
I had mate 8 before....same issue.....I tried all solutions but in vain...it is because of Huawei software....When I went back to Galaxy Note 4 ...GMD works flawlessly....
[Android Apps and Games] JohnstonF:
I've tried this app on multiple roms (7.1 onwards) aosp,los & oos. For some reason it only works on oos based roms. Anyone experience anything different?
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
I'm using this app since years and it was always working on all ROMs I've used
[Android Apps and Games] Techvir:
Same experience here. Always worked in all type of roms

I can not use it on my galaxy s8 :(
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
Why?

I'm using it on S8 plus.
[Android Apps and Games] shjdoku:
Do u use version root pro or lite, my device is rooted, i install gmd root pro but it not work :(
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
The pro version.

Try to go to device setup, tick override touch device. And play with the touch device list. You'll find which one is working for you.
[Android Apps and Games] shjdoku:
Pls take a screenshot of your setting, i try imany thing but not work
[Android Apps and Games] shjdoku:
After i set that and calibration it work fine, thank so much, hope to this app will update to use with next android 8 :)
[Android Apps and Games] ianmacd:
Thanks for this tip. This brought GMD back to life on my S8+.

Can I assign a gesture that allows me to zoom in an app?Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] gregferns:
Hi.

I've been using your app since a long time now.. Pro version.

Of late on my OnePlus 3 on custom roms it doesnt work at all.. Nothin happens.

App is running fine i think and gestures are recorded also, but no gestures work.

I know it was working on OOS but it is not working on custom roms like PAEX, RR and now even DU.

Do let me know if you need any logs

regards

Gregory Fernandes

P.S. haven't searched if this problem has been posted earlier.
[Android Apps and Games] ruvort:
There still is a bug with recorded gestures. They do not work when a keyboard is active on the screen.
[Android Apps and Games] Cryosx:
Does not detect touch input at all on HTC U11
[Android Apps and Games] bkuri:
Try changing the touch device to "synaptics" inside the "Device Setup" screen. Worked for me.

Feature request:

Per app action for Recent apps screen.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] saurabhsun:
Hi

Thanks so much for developing this. I have been using it for years and years.

I even used on my Mi Mix, but recently I installed Resurrection Remix Rom and the "Recent Apps" button is not getting initiated with gestures in it. Its getting difficult to get a response from the developer of the ROM.

Any solution you could suggest? Or is it incompatible with Android 7.1.2?
[Android Apps and Games] JBY:
I trigger a tasker task using gesture. This is the work around I use in RR roms
[Android Apps and Games] saurabhsun:
Thanks, but I can't find an option for gesture input in Tasker. Do you use any third party extension?
[Android Apps and Games] JBY:
Use the GMD gesture. Select tasker task as action
[Android Apps and Games] saurabhsun:
Works! Thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] parano666:
Long time user: tks a lot! I couldn't use a smartphone without that (I'll die if rooting a phone become impossible).

Suggestion /comments : using launchpad could be the fastest multitasker tool BUT there was always a delay to load the icon image if you put too much of them... Faster phone does help (just went from lgg3 to pixel) but there's still a noticeable delay with 16 icon in a launchpad... (with lgg3 i would stop at 8).

Is there any ways you could preload/keep in memory the launchpad icon/layout to avoid delays.... In the era of a lot of ram.. (4gb and more seems standard now). Just a tought out of my user-non-programmer head.

(another comment: setting up the launchpad is a little bit confusing.. Maybe I'm retarded tho.)

Again, my #1 must have app!!
[Android Apps and Games] Reechings:
12 works great for me but more options are always good
[Android Apps and Games] coolvabs:
Totally agree with everything what he has said.. Great app, just a faster launch pad required...
[Android Apps and Games] Avatiach:
I was able to get it to work by manually setting the touch device on my U11 as shown in the attached screenshot. Hope this helps!
[Android Apps and Games] Cryosx:
Everytime I try to change it it resets it back to xr15510
[Android Apps and Games] Avatiach:
I had the exact same problem when I originally played with it yesterday, but then just randomly tried again today and it suddenly started working and remembered my selection.

I can't remember if I did anything in between, like disabling the service or restart my phone, but it definitely didn't save my preference yesterday and does now :)
[Android Apps and Games] Cryosx:
Lol, wow. You're right. It's working now
[Android Apps and Games] eureka9092000:
Hye, I have same problem. Try to create a task in tasker. But not work. Please share with me on how you do that.
[Android Apps and Games] saurabhsun:
Go to Tasks tab in Tasker and create a New Task, name it Gesture1, add a new Action to it by searching on the bottom "Show Recents". In GMD, add finger gesture and set it to trigger this Gesture1.
[Android Apps and Games] yikuph:
What browsers support the browser action? Ive been using it with chrome.
[Android Apps and Games] bkuri:
I tried it it with TugaBrowser and it worked great, but it didn't work with other browsers.
[Android Apps and Games] yikuph:
Haha I use TugaBrowser too. I guess it's only work with cromium browser?
[Android Apps and Games] lucfig:
Hi,

I want to use GMD gestures only when driving and disable the service when not.

Is there anyway I can do this with Tasker? Maybe via intents?

I tried the built in shortcut for exiting the app, but the service restarts shortly after. Would be great to have shortcuts to disable/enable GMD.

Enviado de meu LG-H990 usando Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] thoiloidainhan:
Under action>gesture, there's an option to suspend GMD service

If u use nova launcher, u can set up a widget on homescreen to call for that activity
[Android Apps and Games] lucfig:
But the service keeps running in background, right?

Enviado de meu LG-H990 usando Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] thoiloidainhan:
Yes u are right. Its weird that the exit function doesn't kill the service completely.

Suspend action seems to be your best bet then. I wouldn't worry too much about the service being in the background tho, it barely drains any battery in my experience and I use it all the time
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
I use joaomgcd's AutoShortcutPro to toggle a GMD suspend command. I use it in a profile that suspends GMD when WhatsApp opens and reactivates GMD (same command, it's a toggle) when WhatsApp is closed. I created the profile because GMD was causing problems with WhatsApp. The task is attached. You probably could create a tasker profile based on the network state of the bluetooth connection in your car, or, if that's not possible, perhaps, you could use an activity state which detects movement, in this case travelling x miles per hour.

Alternatively, and further to the helpful responses above, I believe that you could automate the GMD suspension process with tasker imput which would click the widget. I have never used the imput function, but have often read about it, so it came to mind. It may require joaomgcd's AutoImput plugin. Also, if you like, you could use a transparent icon placed in the corner of the screen where it will be out of the way.
[Android Apps and Games] lucfig:
Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I am aware of using the suspend shortcut. I just wanted to finish the service, since the only time I will use GMD is while driving. I believe using autoinput would break the point because I would need the autoinput service to be running.

Currently I am using the suspend command as an alternative.
[Android Apps and Games] ReasonablyRooted:
Would you want to use Titanium Backup widgets to freeze/defrost GMD?
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
Why would you want to do this? There is a pause function in GMD itself which you can activate / disable via a gesture
[Android Apps and Games] ReasonablyRooted:
Umm, how do you activate with a gesture when it's disabled?
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
In a gesture advanced options, you could make it ignore suspension. I have a gesture to trigger toggle "suspend gestures" action. And this gesture is setup so that it ignores the suspension. So I can turn the gestures on and off with it.
[Android Apps and Games] ReasonablyRooted:
I only see suspend and exit... Are you using Tasker or something?
[Android Apps and Games] thereallinkieishere:
Does it drain battery?
[Android Apps and Games] thoiloidainhan:
No
[Android Apps and Games] giusmobile63:
On Huawei mate 9 I modify GMD in system app to let the app not been killed as always happens with some huawei phone. this way used to work perfectly with my old mate 8....

now the problem is that as System app I cannot get root permission don't know why (I could before I modify it in system app). Root is "phh's superuser" because I used decrypt procedure to root mate 9.

Any suggestion?? thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] Erule:
Hello,

somebody tried GMD on HTC 10 with stock Android 7? Will it work? It is very important, i can't use smartphones without it. :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
Exactly this :)
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
:) don't thank me. Thank [MENTION=4147454]StupidIdea[/MENTION] for thinking about it.
[Android Apps and Games] ReasonablyRooted:
This is cool. I wanted to post to clarify something for other users here that I had to test for myself... There's two gesture actions, suspend and exit - the suspend action is a toggle for both on and off.

I got it working, even though I won't use it much, but thanks for the explanations. GMD is a great app.
[Android Apps and Games] Scarface1991:
Anybody tried with Android OREO yet? There are Apps that are so important to me that I won't switch Android Versions unless those Apps work with it and this is one of those Apps.
[Android Apps and Games] JYJY:
It is working fine on my Nexus 6P running Oreo.
[Android Apps and Games] AaronJoYee:
Followed this screenshot' setting. It works.

However, Touch Device Resolution = Default. Do not follow the screenshot.

Now my GMD Gestures is working fine with my Samsung S8+ (SM-G955FD, Android 7.0)
[Android Apps and Games] Tex99:
On nexus 6p, with abc rom oreo, the only action that works is home (back, recents apps or prev app etc..don't work)
[Android Apps and Games] giusmobile:
Is there any way to have tha app working with no interruption on HUAWEI devices (emui 5) ? In my mate 9 rooted, after some minutes the gestures are not working anymore and i have to open the app manually to get gesture working again for some more minutes....
[Android Apps and Games] Techvir:
The app may be getting killed in the background. Enabling status bar icon might help
[Android Apps and Games] giusmobile:
thanks but no, it doesn't work. looks more like the app is not killed but only the gestures are not active or recognise anymore... it is a specific problem with some huawei devices. hope the developers had found a solution....
[Android Apps and Games] AndrewM3:
Can someone recommend an app like GMD gesture control for non root devices such as the Samsung S8 and Note 8 that choose not to root to use samsung pay. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] fedex_742:
every year is the same, hoping this app work with the new version of android, this app change everything... thank dev for all you support
[Android Apps and Games] Techvir:
Has anyone noticed that when in the system setting ( not gmd settings but system settings ), gestures from middle and lower half of the right and left borders do not work?

Gestures from the top half of either side and lower border work with no problems.

Edit : It seems that the same thing happens with all Samsung apps
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
But it does work with Android 8 for you right?

I'm using Android 8 stable with Magisk 14 on Nexus 6P and everything works for me. I haven't tested SuperSU but I guess everyone moved to Magisk already (or they should).

I don't have Samsung phone but my guess is that its somehow related to device orientation. Maybe Samsung apps override it and GC see that device is in landscape. Is center launchpad properly centered in Samsung apps?

Are you using Magisk or SuperSU?

I don't use it so I can't "recommend" but probably the most popular one is AIO gestures

Short answer is no because it does not wake your device when its sleeping and it only needs a little bit of cpu when you are doing some screen touch to recognise gestures. However just try free version and see how it works for you.

'Exit' was working when I added it but I see its broken now.

I agree its too complicated. I will tune complexity down someday.
[Android Apps and Games] parano666:
Thanks for your answer!

"But" what about my other question... (launchpad loading icon delay) ?

Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] Tex99:
Thank you for answer, I m using supersu, but I read that you have 6p with magisk and there aren t problem, so I will switch on it [emoji106]

Edit: now I m on magisk 14 but I have the same problem, home gesture is working but back and recent up not (Nexus 6p with ABC rom 8.0)
[Android Apps and Games] ThePresence:
I'm also facing the same issue... Also it would be awesome if Dev can implement feature to set custom icon packs for launchpad.
[Android Apps and Games] Chambm:
I have the same problem. Only home and full screen gestures work. I'm on pixel 2 xl, rooted with magisk. I really want the back gesture to complement the full screen mode (which I had already done manually but the gesture to toggle it is awesome!) I'll buy if I can get back gesture working.
[Android Apps and Games] ithehappy:
This app doesn't work any more on Oreo 8.0, running on a Pixel XL 2016. I setup the back, home and recents, and none of them worked, only Back would throw a pop up saying Back but nothing would actually happen. Also the app would throw black screen a lot of times, along with the SuperSU has been granted permission message popping up like every 15 mins. I am rooted with Magisk 14.3.

Just wanted to report this. A paid user of the app, was.
[Android Apps and Games] stpaddles:
Same story but rooted with SuperSu. Paid app, 2016 Pixel XL. Only back works.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I found the issue and the fix will be ready next week.
[Android Apps and Games] _kevn_:
TL;DR you've already figured it out so I guess this is not necessary but...

on pixel 2 XL rooted with magisk 14.4 installing paid app from play store several times trying to get it work.

with limited success only really getting expanded full screen mode to be one that actually worked for me. Other gestures would register and show the toast but not actually perform it's intended action. I would also get black screen after opening the app again from time to time. Sometimes the full screen gesture that did work would stop until reboot as well... Good news though...

I finally got my backups from nougat 7.1.1 on Note 4 over to the pixel 2 XL and restored all my gestures on a fresh install of gesture control from play store. Rebooted and everything works! after redoing recents gestures action in the gesture it works as intended... to early to tell if it'll stop responding after a while but so far so good!...

This is hands down THE best app I've purchased... I would be willing to purchase again or if you have PayPal, donate... Thank you Sir for an app that makes Android soooo much more usable!
[Android Apps and Games] ideepak693:
I am not rooted
[Android Apps and Games] yikuph:
Must have apps! I assign nav buttons, screen off, last app all on one side of screen, what a blast.
[Android Apps and Games] giusmobile:
APP PAID version.

please just would like to know if there will be any FIX to let the app work with huawei mate 9 (magisk). app stops any 3 minutes and has to be reactivated....

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] gregferns:
On my op3 running Ob27 (android 8.0) it works some Gestures.... But needs more info. And testing...
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Please forgive the brief OT, just curious about your process for backing up and restoring accross devices, as I've had some issues in the past.

May I please ask you for a list of gestures that are working?

Sorry if I'm being obtuse, but what do you mean when you say "redoing recents gestures action in the gesture"?

Is everything still working?

StupidIdea has a donate button with PayPal next to his posts which I use regularly and generously, and I encourage all users who appreciate his work to do the same. I have been using the app for years and find it indispensible, to the point that I won't update my device or the OS until root has been obtained and GMD works. The dev always is quick to update the app, and, all these years, has been very responsive to support requests. I think it's the right thing to do and important to support the best devs on xda.
[Android Apps and Games] fedex_742:
hi dev ... i am in oreo oneplus 5 with the last magisk beta...

everythings is bug in your app :D

but i found a way to make it work, i use a copy that i had in the TWRP from nougat, everything works perfect.

just that when i try to add a new gesture, works, but take 4 seg to open after the gesture, so i have to plan my gestures in advance :D , just kidding! i am going to live with this for now, I wait patiently for the update ... thank you very much for so many years of support.
[Android Apps and Games] fatflo:
GREAT

Thanks mate
[Android Apps and Games] coolvabs:
I don't know whether you are still looking for paste functionality. For you and all others who are looking for a paste functionality, I would recommend an app called swipe navigation which has that functionality. It also has several other functions like moving cursor to home and end, along with cut copy and paste.

I think you can use that app in conjunction with GMD to have this missing functionality. Having said that I don't mean to take away anything from this great app called GMD gestures, just wanted to point to another app that has some missing functions.
[Android Apps and Games] Aashim:
Can we apply icon pack to launchpad icons?
[Android Apps and Games] Sivaadithya:
I used the trial version.. And I am. Willing to purchase it. Before thst just wanted to know of this drain a lot of batter?
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Not at all.
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
Nah. Using it since years and never noticed a drain. My phones always had great batterylife.
[Android Apps and Games] cswithxda:
I know it's been reported, but add me to the list, waiting for the fix in Oreo:

Sleep doesn't work, home doesn't work, screen shot doesn't work, etc. The only thing that works (and that I use) right now is toggle status and nav bar.

Also, root request is going crazy at once per 30 seconds. As a result I had to disable the gesture for now.
[Android Apps and Games] marcosdv:
It is working flawless now (fts543t_ts + modern)
[Android Apps and Games] Aashim:
Guys is there a way to export the gestures.... I had to factory reset my phone today. I took a backup using titanium. But when I restored the backup the gestures were not restored in this app?

Kindly reply
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
Titanium has always worked for me with every new ROM or phone..
[Android Apps and Games] Aashim:
Are the gestures restored using titanium.... Mine were not restored...
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
Yes, it always worked for me. Are you sure you have also restored the data? Probably you missclicked and restored only the app without data. There are two options
[Android Apps and Games] Zyker019:
Hey XDA, I have a rooted Galaxy Note 8 (SM-N950U) and GMD (full version, not S-Pen version) seems to not work at all. I've recalibrated my screen and still nothing is working. No swipes or even holding gestures. Anyone know of a fix?
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
Are you rooted? :P

Probably check "Override touch device" and choose another one. Had some phones in the past who needed that.

Tell me if you find it out, I got a Note8 for cheap, and if I can't use this app I won't root (Thus trip knox). I'll rather sell the it then.
[Android Apps and Games] marcosdv:
Do you know what option did you use? did you do the manual calibration as well?

I think I already tried all combinations of "touch device" x " touch event perser" on my xiaomi mi a1 without any success

I tried to make manuel calibration but it is always "0x0"
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
No, it's different for each phone, as they all have different parts. Did you actually apply the option after setting it? The service needs to restart after each change.

I think the parser can stay on "Modern", and most devices I had, had a touch device from Synaptics.
[Android Apps and Games] Aashim:
Yes I restored the data also.... But it didn't restored any of the gestures. The app had the default ones only. Anyways... Now created them.again. all.other apps get restored flawlessly with their data....
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
Yeah that's weird then. I always did it like that, always worked
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Might have something to do with file permissions, I seem to remember something about it a while back. Sorry can't think of the fix.
[Android Apps and Games] Aashim:
No probs....
[Android Apps and Games] Zyker019:
Yeah I'm rooted via SamFAIL. It won't trip Knox

Your advice worked. All I did was change my resolution and the touch event parser to "modern"
[Android Apps and Games] roxkiller:
I have huawei p10 lite, I use the paid version and often the program does not perform the functions, only if I lock and unlock the screen again or open the program and exit, then the functions are again performed. Fix it please.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I pm'ed you a link with Oreo fix. If it works I will push it to PlayStore. I know what broke Oreo but I was looking for proper solution.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
I'm thrilled to report that my 60+ gestures are working perfectly on my Pixel 2 XL 8.0.0 . Life is good. I can finally use my new phone. There is a Santa Claus. I'll keep you posted when I get around to flashing 8.1. Thank you very much!
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
Aaaah. Very good. So I can safely flash Oreo now
[Android Apps and Games] cswithxda:
Happy to test on 8.1 here!
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Update 10.1.1

Uploaded version 10.1.1 with Oreo fix to Play Store.

Your version contained a "dirty fix" not ready for prod. PlayStore version now has different proper fix. Please update and let me know if its still working. No need to to test every gesture. If Back works than other actions will work too.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Will do. Thanks

"Back" works.
[Android Apps and Games] Cye3s:
Update to 10.1.1, do not works on my Moto X Pure with Android 5.1.1, "Back" not works, reboot, not works.

Roll back to 10.0.0, everything works fine.
