[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Good, so it is different from resolution. I will expand functionality to measure left and top borders too just in case.

Turn the option off when calibration is finished. If will save a few checks in the code.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
New version: 1.6.2

1.6.2:

- LaunchPad will not dim background anymore

- Fixed: ICS sometimes could not restore status bar

This should be fixed in 1.6.2
[Android Apps and Games] runhopskipjump:
My 4G Motorola Xoom calibrated to 2570x2564 on version 1.6.1.

I am on Team EOS 4.0.4 nightly 75.

Edit:

The notification panel command seem to be working properly and the default launchpad gesture feels better.

I love this app.

Edit2:

I have just realized that notification still pop up in the right hand corner when the status bar is hidden. Awesome!

4G Xoom + Team EOS ICS nightlies = WIN
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I was asked valid question: "How to do calibration?"

I will add help in next version, but for now:

1) Go to Advanced tab.

2) Turn on calibrations.

3) Click Clear

4) Swipe/touch right border and bottom border. There is no need to rotate. Always same 2 border register values. Just it can be not "right" and "bottom" if device is rotated.

5) When values are not increasing any more, turn off calibration. You will see when values are changing. You need just a few swipes to register max value.

No need for calibration if you feel borders are registered properly. You can always restore to default with "Default" button.

Small update

Small update in market and XDA versions without version number increase.

Just tuned it a bit to be more responsive on small screens (and probably on bigger screens too).

After using free version for a couple of hours I decided to buy full version. Using it on my. HP Touchpad running the latest CM9 Nightlies. Will try it on my Epic 4G Touch later. Could you explain how to make say a C gesture from the right border for launching an app for me? Thanks great app.

[Android Apps and Games] reNeglect:
Great App bought right after testing the free verision. Would love to see you add animations for lets say 5 point touch pinch homescreen maybe it could have something similar to iPads version of it?
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
1) Open custom gesture dialog, make sure "4 directions" is selected. This will allow corners approximation. This option does not mean that application will only recognize 4 directions, instead it means, that measured directions like "down-right" will be recognized as "down", "right", "down, then right", "right, then down" according to situation. However in directions you should use only "D, L, R, U, E, P" if you set 4 directions option.

2) Enter Name - anything you like

3) Enter path "L, D, R". It can be lowercase and any separator will do (,-. etc.)

4) Select starting border if needed.

5) Select points number.

6) Select action and application if needed.

This will recognize rounded or cornered C.

Some things to note:

1) If you have gestures that are part of bigger gestures with same points number, they will be recognized first, before reaching bigger gesture:

Ex: if you have 3: DOWN, you cannot make 3:LEFT-DOWN-RIGHT, cause you always just trigger DOWN.

I'm still thinking how to solve this. Easy option would be to check for gestures only when you release screen (I plan to add such option). Now I check for gestures on the go.

2) I'm in process of tuning. Multipoint long gestures will be recognized better in future versions.

Sent you PM with test version.

Thanks for suggestion. I actually I have one idea how I could do this, but this is in early stage, so no promises or ETA at this point.

Why does GestureControl have multiple entries on the superuser permission access log? Does each gesture performed ask superuser for something? Button Savoir and rootexplerer only show up on the long once or twice when you initially start it but no longer appear on the logs after that, unless you close them and reopen them.

4G Xoom + Team EOS ICS nightlies = WIN
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
GestureControl is not asking for SU every time, but every time Android decides to restart service (that happens more often if you play some game or use some app that uses more resources) my service takes su on start. I need su in order to get touch events.

Other apps ask for su only on action so if you are not using it, it will not acquire su even if service is restarted.
[Android Apps and Games] Viper_21:
While the above suggestion works, I find that after a day and a bit use it's too restrictive. It means that when I am merely looking at contacts app or call log, the gestures are paused.

Is this the place to make a feature request? :) Just like there is a checkbox that gives users the option to pause gestures when the keyboard is displayed, I'd like a checkbox to allow me to pause gestures only when an actual call is taking place (not when browsing contacts or call log).

Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] hasenbein1966:
Did you Nexus 5 users really try all possibilities under "Device Setup" in the "Advanced" menu?

Set "Override multitouch device detection" to "On" and try the different items. Also try whether choosing another value in "Override touch events parser detection" alters something.

My Tablet Z also didn't work with GMD first; after tweaking these settings, it runs flawlessly.
[Android Apps and Games] nimrodity:
Won't work this time. Every app that needs root access for actions like back and such doesn't yet on the Nexus 5, so gmd won't either
[Android Apps and Games] j0ff:

[Android Apps and Games] wd5gnr:
I have been using this (paid version) for a long time and really love it. I recently went to a Nexus 7 with Android 4.3 and I notice something that I haven't noticed before. I keep the status bar hidden pretty much all the time. On the center launchpad I have a menu button (among other things). I am pretty sure on my older devices the status bar would unhide to show the menu when I pressed that button. Now it does not. In fact, trying it further, it looks like (at least in some apps) the menu button does nothing at all anymore.

As a work around I turned the status bar back on and blacklisted a bunch of apps where I want the status bar hidden and that seems to work ok.

Just thought I'd report it. I did a search in the thread on menu and didn't see any other mention -- if I missed it, apologies in advance. Great program!
[Android Apps and Games] Viper_21:
I want to make a correction. The blacklisting of the Phone app interestingly does not solve the issue. When I am in the Contacts and Log screen, the gestures are paused (special "P" icon is displayed); however, as soon as the call is placed the gestures are unpaused. Grrrrr. Pretty weird I must admit.

[MENTION=4147454]StupidIdea[/MENTION]: Can you please please implement an option to allow users to pause gestures during calls?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] desechten:
Small hint in case someone wants to get rid of the navigation bar on 4.4 immediately and not getting the back/menu button to work. You can use the latest beta of Tasker to create a task executing the button and then link the task to the gesture.

Gmd works on nexus 5!!!

If you want to use Gmd again on nexus 5 all you have to do it flash the faux kernel for now. Works like a charm
[Android Apps and Games] highend01:
Can you tell us which options you tweaked exactly? I often get the error message from the first entry in the FAQ and I have to restart GestureControl afterwards. The FAQ suggests to try a different setting in the multitouch device detection setting that contains anything like "touch" or "ts" but all these entries don't contain any of these items...

Touch points work, I get toast and vibration. But nothing happens after that, Kitkat doesn't respond to any of the GMD internal commands like Kill app/Screen off etc.

[APP][HC/ICS/JB] GMD GestureControl ★ root

Has been a week since the release of KitKat and still no word from the dev. I obviously don't expect a compatibility update already, but something from the dev like whether or not an app update is even possible, and an ETA would have been nice.

This makes a lot of sense when you consider that a lot of people have bought this app, and I'm sure a majority from that group are using KitKat.

"Lighter" GMD GestureControl for Unrooted devices

I'm currently using a rooted Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and enjoying the functionality provided by GMD GestureControl Root.

However, in the past few weeks, I've been considering how am I going to use GMD GestureControl Root if I move to a Galaxy Note 3 because rooting the Note 3 is more tricky due to the possibility of tripping Knox security and voiding the warranty.

Is there a possibility of a somewhat "lighter" version that retains some functionality but doesn't require Root.

I understand that many root apps continue to work in an unrooted phone although some functions may not be accessible.

Is this the case for GMD GestureControl*root ?

If the trend continues, more and more Samsung phones will become much harder to root without voiding warranty.

So, really, this is also a good reason to make a "restricted function" GMD Gesture*root more available to those unwilling to root during the warranty period but who may still want to buy this app. It will make the market for this App much bigger than it is now.

And of course, we all know Samsung is a dominant Android player.
[Android Apps and Games] hasenbein1966:
Restricted function? Which functions do you want??

You can bet that, even if GMD without root were possible, just those functions that you want GMD for will NOT work.

Well, I'll take whatever functions GMD Gesture Control can do without Root.

Of course, I would rather have a rooted Phone and still have warranty. But some manufacturers are making it harder and harder for modders.

But there are far more people who would not root their phones or even know that phones can be rooted.

Last night, I chose to deny root privileges to Tasker and I still could automate a lot of functions with Tasker without root access for it. Of course Tasker has a huge number of functions and I've not been able to look deep enough, but I suspect that the great majority of Tasker users use only a small number of functions.

Likewise I had a relook at Task Changer Titanium and found that of the 14 actions that I could use it to execute, only two of them required Root (being Menu key and Go Back). That's not bad.

Unlike GMD Gesture Control Root, Tasker and Task Changer Titanium does not check if they have root access when it is installed. But I think they only looks for root access if a function requires it.

Maybe GMD Gesture Control could take such an approach.

And for those who must have access to every single feature or functionality of say GMD Gesture Control Root, then by all means root it and be prepared to void warranty.

And the bonus of course is that there will be a much bigger market for this GMD GestureControl app, if this approach is at all possible.
[Android Apps and Games] Khaiyan:
[APP][HC/ICS/JB] GMD GestureControl ★ root

^ What you've said is all well and good, but I don't think any part of GMD Gesture Control will work without root. The sole feature is gesture based commands and this is just not possible without root. Not sure what you are expecting...
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
GMD Gesture Control core - gestures anywhere without trigger - require root. There are other apps that allow to draw gestures from side or from floating button if that is your thing. While things like starting app, home, back etc does not require root, root still allows to perform these action faster.

Problems on Note II (TW 4.1.2)

I've been using GMD Gesture Control for awhile without any problems, but I'm getting some weird behaviour on my Note II (stock TW 4.1.2) after the most recent update. Although executing gestures always brings up the toast notification, only in instances where I'm opening a shortcut does anything actually happen. If I execute a gesture to open an app, the app menu, or turn off the screen, for example, nothing happens.

I haven't changed anything else on the phone and it was working fine earlier today. Any thoughts on what the problem could be and/or how to troubleshoot it? I've tried rebooting the phone but would prefer not to clear the app data, given all of the gestures I have saved.

Thanks so much in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] nimrodity:
sure why but GMD doesn't work with Cataclysm ROM for the Nexus 5. It works for about one gesture and then just doesn't anymore. Any chance to fix this issue, I can give you a log or something if that somehow helps

Uploaded new version that should fix it for pre KitKat devices (may take a couple of hours to appear in Play Store). Please let me know if you are still having issue after update and I will fix it asap.
[Android Apps and Games] wd5gnr:
I had a similar problem. Turned out to be custom data apparently isn't laid out the same between versions. So if I wipe the data (which costs me all my launchpad setup, custom gestures, etc.) it works fine. Restoring the data from a backup kills my back gestures and other things. Like you, the toast appears (once I turned it back on), the action just doesn't work. But works fine with clear data.

Update: The new update on Play fixed the problem. I installed, restored my data from a backup and it seems to be working ok with my old data. The menu key still doesn't work, but the back key and other items does work. Great!
[Android Apps and Games] nimrodity:
I have one annoying issue with the app even after the last update. My gestures don´t work when the keyboard is visible even though they should, they did before kitkat. Seems to be a Nexus 5 only thing again,since GMD with the exact same settings does work with keyboard open.

I've been very unlucky with these recent updates. While it's fixed on my Note II, I just updated my Nexus 7 (flo) to 4.4 and now GMD Gesture Control is having the same problem that my Note ii was having: all of the gestures seem to register (I get a toast notification) but nothing happens, save for a few basic ones (e.g. home, app drawer).

Whats the version thats supposed to fix the bugs on 4.3? Since the last update it hardly works as good as it used to, barely usable anymore..

I'm on 7.4.5 now. When I activate the toast notifications it shows that it (mostly) recognises the gesture but doesn't execute it. Sometimes it also doesn't recognize the gestures as reliably as it's used to.

Glad to hear backup/restore is in the works. :good:

However, no idea how to manually restore the gestures.xml file.

AFAIK, TB doesn't have an option to restore single files.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] hasenbein1966:
No, you must first backup the file with ES File Explorer or any other root capable file browser by going to /data/data/com.goodmooddroid.gesturecontrol/shared_prefs/ and copying the file to any backup location.

Then, when having reinstalled the app, you simply copy the file back into the same location.

I installed the stock KitKat for Nexus 7 and the new version seems to work with one nit: if you hide the status bar (through black list, command, or the button in the options with or without busybox) the screen locks! The bar does hide and show, but if the bar hides, the lock screen comes on.

Had to delete my black list and live with the status bar again for now :(
