Yeah, of course.

But you know what? On Android this is really an annoyance. Too often there comes an update that either breaks some functionality or has worse design. Now I, like many users, have many apps on my devices. I don't have the nerve nor the time to check each single app whether an update that is presented to me by Google Play is worth it or whether I better wait until another better update comes. So I simply click "Update all".

When there would be a simple "roll back" feature then it would be no problem, but it p*ss*s me really off that it occurs again and again that I have to live with an app that was perfect before but not now anymore because I MUST use the latest version. With paid apps (like GMD) it's not even possible to copy the APK of the previous version from another device because it's not possible to read files from "/mnt/asec".

They could make a "Go back to previous version" button in Google Play.

New version 7.0.1

GMD Gesture Control update:

7.0.1:

- Added Light/Dark theme option.

- Fixed Back action speed.

Please try if it still works on Note 8 :fingers-crossed:

I prefer to fix new version but feel free to backup old versions. I would need to switch to in-app key model in order to provide old versions. I wish I used in-app key from start, but I don't see I could migrate to it now.

Or you could join my beta group and help me test it before the release ;). I understand that it sucks when new version does not work but I'm doing my best to fix it asap when someone reports a critical issue.

1) Does status bar hide if you assign it to different gesture or Launch Pad?

2) Does double tap work with different actions? How many touch points you use? Any starting zones?

No it does not work and is not supposed to work. At the moment H can only be used as standalone, i.e. H and nothing else.

Thank you for this useful app, it's works greatly on my phone and this app is really useful for phones with big screens. :good:

Back delay has gone. Everything seems to work fine also on Note 8, but as I said I have Xposed, so I can't say if this release works perfectly for stock rom.

Anyway thanks :thumbup:

For whatever reason, it totally stopped working for me after updating to 7.0.2 from 7.0.1. Restarted the service. Checked the root permissions. Rebooted the phone. No dice! The service icon is greyed out and no gesture is detected/recognized. Running Paranoid Android 3.69 (Jellybean 4.2.2)
[Android Apps and Games] Jimmy34742:
7.0.2: random gestures activating on their own all over the place. Reverting to 7.0.1 fixed all problems.

EDIT: Then I started getting weird activations with 7.0.1. wtf. So I re-updated to 7.0.2 and rebooted. So far so good. I suspect that a reboot was needed after the upgrade.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:

Uninstalled and reinstalled 7.0.2. Still not working. Fresh install of 7.0.2 returns the "No supported multitouch device detected". Weird since it has worked well up until this version. Tried the steps suggested on the FAQ but no combination works. Galaxy Nexus user if its any help.

Hi,

Like this :
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
One more update :fingers-crossed: 7.0.3. Most of recent fixes are related to notification panel detection. Apparently it is kind of slow. I tried to optimize it in 7.0.2 but then it gave false positive on some devices and that means gestures were not working at all.

As a real time background application it needs to fit into spare cpu cycles in order not to slowdown anything. Nova uses more cpu than default launcher. This can vary from device to device depending on how many apps are running and so on. Notification panel check was requested by many users but it looks like it is too much in some cases. Lets see how last update works. If it does not help I will turn notification panel check off by default and add an option to enable it.
[Android Apps and Games] benalejandro:
As the user four posts before this one, I got the "No supported multitouch device detected" after the last system update (XXUDMH8) and the app stopped working in my GT-I9505.

The funny thing is that I get the gesture message (toast) after the gesture is executed.

Please help.

[Android Apps and Games] Viper_21:
Since installing 7.0.4 on my Galaxy S3 I have intermittent cases whereby GMD Gestures stops working (service is still running though - still sitting on notification area). Only a restart of the service brings it back to life.

I can't seem to pinpoint what is triggering this. In any event, I would like to uninstall and reinstall the app however there is currently no backup/restore of settings. I am loathe to manually reenter all my settings and custom gestures. Any ideas how to troubleshoot the problem and to restore settings after uninstall and reinstall?

Much appreciated.

I don't think you'll be able to find the command in the Dolphin activity shortcuts.

You can go full screen in any app with Xposed, but I'm not familiar with it and don't know if you can create a shortcut/gesture.
[Android Apps and Games] hasenbein1966:
Yesterday I also had intermittent cases when GMD was not working after turning display back on. Today it didn't occur. (Xperia Tablet Z.)
[Android Apps and Games] S.Phrenic:
Still by far the most used app on my device! Bought it, recommended it to many friends and show it off to people who see me use my tablet.

One small problem I have with it is that I have a Samsung galaxy note 10.1 and when I use the spen, the palm is seen as gestures. So while drawing or writing it suddenly activates gestures like BACK or HOME...

If an option could be implemented that gestures are ignored when the spen is near the screen, that would fix this little 'problem' I have and I would be very grateful.

Thank you again for this amazing app
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Do you need gestures at all when using the S-Pen? If not, you could pause gestures by adding the app you're using with the S-Pen to the blacklist.
[Android Apps and Games] S.Phrenic:
Well, that's the thing, I do need gestures as I have my tablet on fullscreen and use gestures for BACK & HOME. If gestures would be paused completly, i wouldn't be able to navigate the tablet.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
How about GMD S-Pen Control?
[Android Apps and Games] S.Phrenic:
That would give me gestures with the pen. That would not turn off gestures when the pen is near. Pause gestures when pen is detached would not be good either as i use gestures while holding it in my hand. Switching completly to pen gestures wouldn't be great either, i only use the pen for drawings and such...

Uploaded new version 7.0.5-beta2
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
Thank you!

Haven't flashed this one yet.

I have an observation:

I reported that Back gesture didn't work from the first try, if made with one touch point down from the top right 1/3 when this zone is set to consume touch. You assumed that the notification pulldown is still triggered despite of the touch consumption.

I think you're right and I think that this happens with Back anywhere if the zone is set to consume touch. Not just top right 1/3.

Seems that whenever I release the zone free from consuming touch, Back gestures there start working instantly.

It seems that touch consumption isn't working in the first tiny instance of time and somehow touch is registered and this confuses the action, I think. Not just where the notification pulldown is involved.

I'm not very sure. Can you test this?

Loving the new versions. Thank you for this fantastic app!
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Thanks to user reports I found that latest version of Gesture Control was conflicting with Spen Control and this could cause gestures to stop working on Note devices.

I think this kind of gesture requires a modded kernel and, anyway, it's a feature which drains a bit your battery.

Inviato dal mio GT-N5100 con Tapatalk 4
[Android Apps and Games] hasenbein1966:
Right.

Not so right. Of course it needs a bit of juice; but it's totally negligible. Xperia Tablet Z users, for instance, can attest to that. The feature is really worthwhile! (But, of course, it's not possible to incorporate it into GMD.)
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
No, I cant. As gabripranzo pointed already, it requires modded kernel.
[Android Apps and Games] Viper_21:
For anyone else with Samsung Galaxy S3, I highly recommend Googy-Max kernel. Besides giving buttery smooth performance and excellent battery, you get touch-to-wake functionality :) , which you can tweak further using the Touch-to-Wake Control app of [MENTION=2446031]FadeFx[/MENTION].

I use this functionality together with GMD Gestures - together they make a deadly combination.

[Android Apps and Games] hasenbein1966:
Gesture control works really well on Tablet Z and Nexus 7 (2013).

One problem remains:

On both tablets, sometimes after turning screen on, gestures won't work. After a short moment (didn't measure it, I think around half a minute) gestures work again, without any notification.

Why is that and how could it possibly be prevented?
[Android Apps and Games] thfreedumb:
I am having a bug or maybe i'm missing something.

I have the complete left and right edges as a starting point for opening some applications. I also have the 'keyboard visible' set to disable for each of these custom gestures. I am under the impression that when the keyboard pops up, GMD gesture should disable as there arent any available gestures (is there a universal option that i'm missing).

Well here is the issue. When I open up swiftkey (or swype), I can't initiate a flow that starts with the letters q and p as they are up against the edge. it's almost like the phone is waiting for a gesture. Now, when I open up the browser for example (which is blacklisted to disable GMD), i am able to initiate flows and swypes starting with 'q's and 'p's. I have tried to blacklist the 'swiftkey' app but it doesn't work.

I would like to be able to swipe/flow without this issue. Like i said, maybe i'm missing an option or maybe the program isn't set up to do what i'd like. I will say that on an older version of the app, i never had this problem. Just when I upgraded to the newest version.

thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] dn06se:
I dicovered that when I enable the GMD, every time I touch the screen (even not trigger any GMD gesture), the GMD service (GMD's background touch monitor service) do comsume a few percent of CPU power. So, like for example, I touch the screen 30 times in a day, the GMD service will comsume CPU power for 30 times even without triggering any GMD gesture. :rolleyes:

Is this normal? How about the effect of battery life? :confused:

[Android Apps and Games] hasenbein1966:
If you thought about it a minute, you wouldn't have asked that.

It's SO obvious that in order to recognize whether a gesture has been executed, the service must always observe the touchscreen (how else can it know?), and it's SO obvious that this consumes CPU cycles and battery...

In latest version there is a silly bug (only on HC) where Custom gestures execute wrong action (for example menu shows bar).
