[Android Apps and Games] Jimmy34742:
Thanks for the positioning option. To enable smooth one-handed use, I believe we need more vertical positioning options on the bottom half of the phone. Perhaps one more position in between "bottom" and "center"--you could call it "low." For example, right now, I'm testing on my Galaxy S3. As with the Note 2, when you hold it comfortably in your hand with your thumb positioned to reach the maximum amount of screen, the very bottom of the screen becomes difficult to reach. As with the Note, "top" is impossible, of course. And "center" is often a bit too high. But the bottom of "bottom" is awkward to reach. In fact, I never use the button on my thumb side (left) because it requires me to shift my entire hand position, which is why I've added a GMD gesture for the menu button. I'd like to be able to test a "low" position between "bottom" and "center." Likewise, the far left of "left" is a bit difficult for touching an icon accurately. Far left works well enough in the middle and top 1/3 for sliding in from the border (bottom 1/3 is too insecure), but a position in between "left" and "center" would help a lot when you need to touch icons inside launchpads. Increasing icon size helps with the above considerations, but then I still have fewer reachable slots.

Also, is it possible to add the full range of vertical and horizontal options for every launchpad? If the user wants to position the launchpad called "right" on the left side of the phone, then you could leave it up to the user. For example, I can't use the right launchpad unless I use xxlarge icons. But if I could move it to the left, I would do that even though it's called "right." Also, horizontal positioning of the top launchpad doesn't help me at all on my large phones unless I pad it with dummy icons or use very large icons. I need to bring the whole top launchpad down whether it's at "center" or "left" ("right" is unreachable).

I think of my launchpads more in terms of their content (programs, files, folders, recent tasks) than by their position. Quite frankly, if I could place every launchpad in the exact same "sweet spot" on my screen, I might do that. Position is a bit useful depending on where your gesture ends, but the most important consideration is to be able to get the launchpad's contents under my thumb.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Anyone encountered that "multitouch device was not detected" after update? I'm wondering how widespread this problem is.

If this happens to you try exiting the application (top right button in action bar) and start it again. I suspect that in some cases application cannot access native library that was updated right after update :confused:

Maybe something changed in CM10.1. I'm not sure I can fix it from my side. Probably need to be fixed in CM.

So, this setting not useful :(. I added this as it was easy. When I be updating LaunchPads I will add more freedom when positioning LaunchPads. LaunchPad position now defines what animation to use and how borders are drawn.

I plan decoupling LaunchPads from position, so when creating gesture you would pick position and item set, like Left->1, Left->2, Right->1, etc. and in that case Left->1 and Right->1 would share items. Probably will add some 9 items sets. Should be enough?

This may change in the future if I decide it is too confusing after all. Suggestions are welcome how to make it simple yet flexible.

Any possibility of implementing browser actions in chrome or stock browser? Specifically the next/previous tab action.
[Android Apps and Games] Jimmy34742:
The new position options are definitely useful. I'm just saying that if you add:

1) one more option in the vertical ("low")

2) one more option in the horizontal ("left-center")

3) vertical + horizontal options in all launchpads

then it will be a lot more useful. I don't think the extra position options would be confusing, especially if the defaults feel natural to most users.

New version 6.2.1

6.2.1

- Improved status bar hiding action performance.

- Fixed static wallpaper when hiding status bar (takes 1-2 seconds to reappear).

Games should not stutter anymore. Image wallpaper takes a few seconds to reappear after hiding status bar.
[Android Apps and Games] eejee:
Thanks. Hiding the status bar now works on cm10.1 and because of that I can use gestures for bringing up notifications and quick settings. This was not possible in combination with the expanded desktop feature.

Sorry, I think my previous post must have gotten missed, any possibility for 'next tab' and 'previous tab' actions in browser? Best if it works across different browsers but I think that would be hard.
[Android Apps and Games] wolverine73:
Found out that my htc one x (running domination rom) has an expanded desktop feature which enables me to go full screen in all applications whilst still being able to access the multi tasking hard button - i just enable this feature in the Rom itself and make sure the 'hide status bar' feature in gmd is not active then I'm good to go!

Only problem is that I'm now unable to see notifications at all! Tried to access them through a gesture using gmd but not possible......

So there is a workaround available for full screen and keeping the multi tasking feature (if your rom/phone supports it) but at the expense of losing access to notifications!

Still one awesome app though :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Sorry I read it, but haven't responded yet, quit busy with this update. I can only access action that are exposed in some way like can be triggered with keyboard, intent or shortcut. I have yet to investigate if it is possible to change browser tabs.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Versions 6.2.x sometimes fail to update native application library and then application shows error that multitouch device could not be detected. I think I fixed it in latest version 6.2.3. If you encounter it with lower version - download 6.2.3. If you encounter this with 6.2.3 and up - please PM/email me. it happened like 1 time out of 100, so if it works for you then you are among lucky 99 :)
[Android Apps and Games] ngoonee:
Thanks, will wait =). Have not had much luck doing it myself in tasker as well
[Android Apps and Games] Royal2000H:
I just got started with this app today, and I have to say, it's very impressive.

I'm using it on my Galaxy Nexus 4.1.2 and it's running smoothly, including hiding/unhiding the status bar. It's a nice feature to maximize screen space and hide the soft keys / nav buttons on bottom as well as the top notification bar.

But I'd love to be able to hide

just the nav bar

on bottom while leaving the notification bar on top.

This is especially true when I get a notification and can't reach it in any way unless I unhide the bars.

Is this something you're able to do?
[Android Apps and Games] Jimmy34742:
For toggling the status bar, 6.2.2 works fine on my S3 and worked fine on my Note 2. I updated my Note 2 to 6.2.3, and now toggling the status bar crashes the UI. So now I'm scared to update my S3.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I reverted status bar hiding to old method for both S3 and Note 2 in 6.2.4. Let me know if something is wrong.

I'm looking if I can incorporate this without need to reboot phone. For now you can apply mod yourself:

"bug" report, if I activate rotation on via gesture control, turn my galaxy tab 10.1, then deactivate it, the screen returns to the original rotation. If I do the same thing using the actual stock Samsung toggle, deactivating rotation merely stops the screen at its current rotation state.
[Android Apps and Games] jcsy:
i actually found that the version AFTER including ROTATION gestures, my 5-P command (5 finger pinch) is VERY UNRESPONSIVE

can I have the version number, and the APK of this app BEFORE it introduced ROTATION

yes, i paid for the app and looking for a little backward feature

EDIT : for now ive set 20 pixels instead of default 40 pixels, and see how that goes for responsiveness

Auto Start at Boot

Hello,

Does the paid version come with an option to autostart at boot? if so I will deffinitely switch to paid version.

Great looking app so far, I hated having to go to home screen or switch apps to kill an app, thats one of the things i missed about classic x window style operating systems. Great for multitasking, I am a student and this is my primary device, i can now multitask well enough that I do not need to go to a lab to be productive.

Just bought the app a couple days ago and I was wondering if there is a way to add the app drawer to Launchpad?
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Simply turn OFF default Screen off gesture and 5 finger pinch will fall back to old behavior.

If service was on during shutdown it will autostart on boot. Just give it 1-2 minutes to start. This is how Android works, it starts services after media scan.

There is no standard way to do this, however some Launchers (like Nova) provide shortcut to access app drawer. Then you can create custom gesture with this shortcut.
[Android Apps and Games] yararli:
hello.

is it possible to use both gmd spen gestures and gmd gesture controls in order to use both finger gestures and also spen gestures ?

or when i installs the spen gmd gesture are finger gestures also coming with this programe without installing gmd gesture control program ?

my tablet is galaxy note 10.1 with jellybean 4.1.1

thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
You can use both together. While they share similar UI and actions, they connect to different devices and are active (or sleep) at different times.

Small tip, if you want to share LaunchPad items you can do this by creating gesture in SPen Control that trigger GestureControl LaunchPad using shortcuts. Status bar hiding action is also present only in Gesture Control, but it also can be triggered from SPen Control using shortcut.

I posted SPen Control trial and Gesture Control Lite version so you can try both.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
AFAIK these two apps will work both together.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Not sure if it will be interesting for anyone here, but I managed to finish separate application for status bar hiding.

Most of the work was done long ago, just needed some polish, like icons, descriptions etc. Anyway its done :fingers-crossed:

Hello. Great app. Using the full version (just bought it from gplay) on my rooted B&N Nook HD+ and having 1 issue with it. After the first gesture is executed and recognized, the desktop is lost and turns black (only the background). Even if it's changed to another walpaper it doesn't show until a reboot and then only shows until the first gesture. Can live with that as I can't live without the sbar hiding, but decided to ask. Thanks.

edit: Nevermind, found it in the 'known issues with ics', followed the suggestion to set a live walpaper, that works.
[Android Apps and Games] gabripranzo:
I have to say that, starting from release 6.0.0, hiding the status bar crashes the UI in my galaxy tab 2 7" with Jelly Bean. Previous releases worked perfectly.

---------- Post added at 03:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 AM ----------

The tab 2 7" is not yet correctly detected, I have to override touch events with Ics default. However, even if I override it, sometimes the gestures aren't well detected (with my previous tab plus I've never had any problem and every gesture worked perfectly)
[Android Apps and Games] GSLEON3:
Awesome!!!

So impressed, I picked up the full app about two second after using the free version. Gotta say, hands down, this is now my favorite app. A doosey for a guy named StupidIdea, LOL....

It works flawlessly on my Nexus 10. The wallpaper will on occasion disappear for a few seconds when I restore bars & then pinch home, but it always comes back within a few seconds. Testing on a Note 10.1 later, will see how that goes, but it is the best Nexus 10 app period.

Seriously though, I can't wait to see the next StoopidIdea, I bet it'll be even better than this. This is absolutely the natural progression of touch navigation & display. Google should integrate this & pay you royalties to sit back & come up with great things like this, that really should be built into the stock UI, but that were somehow missed or overlooked by their developers. If this were a part of the 4.2 update, it easily would have been the biggest feature to be added. I can't say enough about how much I enjoy this app.

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

Holy crude!!! How did I miss the S Pen Gestures??? Well, I guess it is both our lucky days, because I just purchased that via Play as well. That is how impressed I was with the first one, I bought the second without even trying it & I know it'll be great!
[Android Apps and Games] Jimmy34742:
I, too, have to repeat what a nut case I am for this app. It's not only revolutionized the whole way I use each of my devices, it's made me re-love using my phone like it's a new toy. Especially my S3, which is now so one-thumbable, I can do just about anything I need to really fast, while leaving my other arm free to do other things, like hold onto a heavy bag. In fact, I've even ditched my beloved Swype (most of the time) in favor of a one-handed keyboard. When I need to type something long, I have a convenient gesture to switch input methods, which used to be too annoying when I had to go through settings. GMD's only downside is that it's strictly a power user's app; the average user isn't going to want to go through the required process to produce the configuration that suits them best. Maybe the dev will come up with some sort of clever basic default config that will gently introduce the average user. But I have too many friends who are happy to devote two hands, all their attention, and bury their nose in their phone performing many repeated swipes and touches to do the same things over and over.
[Android Apps and Games] ngoonee:
Root-only - what else would it be? The average user isn't going to root their phones/tablets.

Bought and using this, very very useful on my tablets, but struggling to find a good set of gestures for my 4-inch S2. Mainly because my casing precludes using any gestures from the side of the screen....
[Android Apps and Games] zwade01:
Re-calibrate your borders using the case.
[Android Apps and Games] Jimmy34742:
Duh, I forgot about that. From my location, we can't even purchase apps from Play Store without rooting, so I'm so used to it. I've had non-power user friends who were shocked to find out that they'd never even seen a paid app.
[Android Apps and Games] ngoonee:
The casing is a case-mate which juts slightly more than 1 cm above the phone surface (I'm paranoid). Will take a look at recalibration, but my gut feeling is that it'd likely not be reliable enough for my taste (in terms of not interfering with normal use).
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
No, toggle on Nexus 7 works in all orientations, just it works this way when called from code.

I've been using your app for several months now, and it's allowed me to get down to 2 homescreens, it has largely been flawless on your end (all of my issues are generally user related). I was wondering if there was a way for you to add device orientation as a gesture or option. On my SIII, the stock firmware has an option to hold a finger on the screen and rotates the device 90 degrees to launch the camera. I haven't used stock touchwiz since August, but it made me wonder if you could poll the rotation sensor as part of a gesture. Maybe just to function as a modifier or as a separate gesture.
[Android Apps and Games] Jimmy34742:
I'm curious what functionality you still get from using a homescreen. I'm down to one, but I get no use out of it. I don't even have a home gesture anymore, and the button is usually too awkward to reach, so I just never go there.
[Android Apps and Games] ace-user:
i've used this app on my nexus 7 for quite some time now..i only use the 4 finger pinch gesture to go back to home...i would like to know is there any way to increase the speed?cuz normally after i pinch i have to wait for about 1 sec to get back to homescreen...is there anyway to increase the speed? i dont see this option in settings...
[Android Apps and Games] grivy:
hi,

Bug: When editting a custom gesture, if you click to change the action, choose shortcut and then select (for example) gmd smart rotate a list with possible shortcuts will appear. If you then dismiss the window by clicking outside the wjndow, then you do not return to the edit window but instead you only see the custom gestures tab, trying to edit one is then Not possible till a restart.

Edit: I just noticed that it also occurs when you select a shortcut. So in short, it is not possible to change the action of an existing custom gesture to a shortcut.

Btw why is selecting the action the last step of creating a custom gesture and not the first, it's the objective, so it is always the first one I select.

Edit: Also why do I need to 'long' press a custom gesture to get to the edit delete menu of it. A simple press would be easier/faster/more user friendly.

last thing, you might want to turn the green circles in front of a custom gesture orange when a gesture is paused and red when it is disabled instead of the small, not so well visible cross that is used now. Or a red cross for the color blind..

Cheers

Hiding status bar broken

I tried the latest version. Hiding the status bar (manually) fails and eventually crashes the system UI. I have a galaxy tab 2 (p3110) and just upgraded to jb 4.1.1. Version 5.x still works
[Android Apps and Games] jarayn:
This is exactly what I want too. To me its the best feature of any browser which is why I use chrome. Be nice to incorporate it into boat.

Thanks for a wonderful app btw. Really enjoying messing around with it.

Oddly enough I don't like any of your default gestures. I am just making one and two point gestures for everything.

Perhaps something more like the phone setup but without the angles. Call it simple tablet maybe.

Of course given that its all configurable its not required. But its nice to have a ready made solution.

Oh and Forward doesnt seem to work as a function either. Certainly not in chrome anyway. :)
