Thanks, good find. It was required long ago, but after su apps added proper support for ICS it is not required and was lifted. I fixed the description.

I this about full screen mode? Other apps in general do the same, i.e. wallpaper gets restarted, but they might have different timing and this may help visually.

Could you email me log cat?

I have to admit I'm confused :(. I will PM you development version a bit later. I will double check that I migrated changes properly from older version.

I will take a look at it, but I doubt I will be able to change this.

The only change is GTab2 status bar hiding fix (which apparently didn't fix it :(), so unless you have GTab2, there is no difference. I always keep both versions in sync, however since this update was not confirmed to fix GTab2 support I didn't update Lite :o
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
I just have to post again:

Using it now since I heard it here on XDA. I bought it, and I'm so happy.

It really runs without any bugs here, everything runs so good.

I rarely find apps wich run as flawless as this one does.

gz to you dev, making the most useful app I've ever bought, and ty for making it so stable, usable and bugfree.

I'll never regret those five bucks.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Hi,

I have to confirm again to make sure I'm looking at the proper thing, cause I can't find a difference (regarding status bar) between release and dev version. Please answer these questions, so I know I'm searching for the right thing:

1) We are talking about GTab 2 (GT-P3100)?

2) Development version posted in second post properly hide/restore status bar?

3) Production version 6.3.1 does not work properly, where does it fail?

3.1) when hiding status bar? If not, is status bar hidden properly?

3.2) when restoring status bar?

Again I'm sorry as we talked about it already, but I want to make sure I'm not looking at wrong place. This time I will branch and update version immediately after finding the problem.

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

My Gtab P3100 with jelly bean works perfectly now with GMD latest version.

system UI - restarting

Hi, i have GMD gestures on Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 (4.2.2 stock, root, both) ... recently i was getting some "lag" on both devices, when searching the cause i found out "System UI" process is in "restarting" state even after unhiding the navbar. Everything works fine but the system feels slower and has small hickups. After restart everything is back to normal until next hiding of navbar.

Can you, pllease, let me know if it is "normal" behaviour or some problem on my side, like coliding apps.

Thank you, ...enjoying your app very much, beside this problem.
[Android Apps and Games] hasenbein1966:
:(

GMD worked really fine on my Nexus 7 with SmoothROM 4.1. Up to today.

I had a crash when reading something with Flipboard and listening to radio with "Tune-In". The screen went black, the music continued, but it wasn't possible to turn the screen back on. Don't know what caused it. I had to restart the device with the power button.

After the restart, GMD complained about not finding root and not finding a compatible multitouch device. All settings including all the custom gestures were gone. I had to re-enable root for GMD by going to SuperSU (although there WAS a green "#" for GMD" indicating enabled root permission...), altering the root permission to "Ask" and restarting GMD.

Now it works again, but all my settings are gone, I have to re-enter them :rolleyes: :crying:

Could it be that, at booting, GMD starts BEFORE SuperSU??? Or what caused this behavior??? And why are the settings gone?

Hi. Great app! This is such a long thread you must have a very extensive todo list! I was wondering, and sorry if this has already come up, would it be possible to make some swipe effects approximately tract the motion of your fingers. For example, I set a custom gesture of two fingers to right to go to previous app (instead of the default 4 finger) . When I do that the previous app races ahead of my swipe. Perhaps this is a bit picky but it would be more aesthetically pleasing if the window frame of the previous app tracked along with the swiping fingers (something like the nokia n9, also, Action Launcher Pro does this when going to apps list). Of course such a mod is pointless (perhaps amusing at times!) for more complicated gestures but for simple U,D, R, L, when appropriate, would be nice. I guess another solution is for me to swipe faster! Anyways thanks for your efforts!

[Android Apps and Games] nimrodity:
i really love this app and use it a lot but there´s one thing i would really like to improve.

Its the startup/launch delay of the launchers.They need way to long to appear somehow.I now use overlay launcher for the launcher because it launches almost instantly,also the sorting apps method is superior.

But otherwise gmd is so much mightier.

Also i would like to have the long press time to be editable just like overlay has as well.

A merge of both with each strenghts would make the perfect launcher imo
[Android Apps and Games] Scarface1991:
I bought your App a while ago now and it`s one of the most useful Apps on my device. I use it everyday. Thank you for this amazing app. I was wondering how you achieved that the App doesn't get kicked out of Memory. Every other App I know that has similar features needs to have this annoying notification Icon to be present all the time so Android doesn't kick it out but your App is not dependent on this notification Icon and it stays in memory no matter what which is of course a very good thing but I was wondering how you did that?

When I set a gesture for media volume (regardless its path) and draw that, media volume appears twice. Appears, disappears,appears,disappeares.
[Android Apps and Games] ngoonee:
Is it trivial to add an action 'take a screenshot'? Or is there some Tasker-compatible plugin that can do that?
[Android Apps and Games] ichbinich:
I made a gesture (4 fingers pinch) which opens the drawer. but sometimes and not all the time, i have a delay (up to 5 seconds) before the drawer opens?

What can be the reason for such a delay?
[Android Apps and Games] hasenbein1966:
I don't think such delays can be eliminated.

It's the architecture of Android. When many apps are running and thus occupying RAM, apps must be closed / memory must be released by the operating system. Thus the occasional delays.

iOS doesn't have such problems, because it doesn't have the multitasking capabilities of Android.

When I have toggled the status bar and i use a gesture to show the recent apps it restore the statusbar and then it show me

the recent apps.

Is it possible that it only show me the recent apps and lets the bar toggled ?
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
Hide status bar kills the systemUI.apk and that's how it wit works.

But AFAIK systemUI.apk is also responsible for recent apps. That's why it has to start for recent apps, which also shows the status bar for you.

The dev can correct me if I'm wrong.:)
[Android Apps and Games] DHM47:
The background issue

I found the background bug in two other apps

No system bar (in the store)

Hide bar (at github)

So the problem is in the system no the app

Or maybe in the command

And as for the bar reappearing ,for me it stayed hidden for about 5 min without reappearing.

I always appreciate constructive feedback, so keep it coming, thanks. I will fix what I can.

Its nothing specific to my indeed, but still I will investigate if I can avoid that. Its strange that you mentioned apps that work only on HC and don't have ICS support. I don't have this problem with HC on my 7.7. Anyone else experience background disappearing on HC? I thought its ICS only related.

Sent you PM. Please try provided version.
[Android Apps and Games] DHM47:
All the apps work fine on HC. But all have the background bug on ICS.

But the other two don't always hide the bar ,but always rest the background. :(

Just wanted to say thanks for the awesome app.. Having no issues (other than known issues) on my 7510 on CM9

[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
New version 1.5.5

1.5.5:

- Transparent LaunchPad option.

- Adjustable border width and gesture size.

- Forward action for custom gestured (works in browser).

- Supporting new device HP Touchpad.

- Supporting new device Toshiba Thrive

Don't be greedy with new settings, usually default is good on 7'' and 8'' displays.

For 10'' it might be more convenient to lower values a bit.

I parse all events from driver and usually it does not fire coordinates like 1 pixel from border. 20 pixels is lowest usable value in my experience, but settings will allow you to go lower up to 5.

Default is, shorter side length / 10.
[Android Apps and Games] deevo2:
My bottom and right border settings are still not working. 5 and 10 work great from top or left, but will fire anywhere up to an inch from bottom/right. Thanks for all the work / updates.
[Android Apps and Games] docprego:
Forward gesture is not working for me. Occasionally it will cause the app I am in to close, it seems to be acting sort of like a back key.
[Android Apps and Games] flydev:
great app, congratulations! :)

the custom gestures are a little difficult to learn at first ...

- please, can you tell me why i give root access to "android.process.acore" and not the main app? (it's a technical/curiosity question, not a trust issue)

- will be nice to disable single touch gestures and keep multi (or any other combination)

- sort apps on launchpad

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] qubz:
I really appreciate the change to a transparent launchpad bg. I like launchpad, but what I'd really like is to use that gesture to trigger the scrollabe recent apps list. The same llist that appears when I press the soft menu located in the bottom left
[Android Apps and Games] Psyloid:
When my tab comes out of deep sleep (eg in the morning), the taskbar gesture doesn't work anymore and my bar stays hidden untill i reboot.

Not a big deal, but worth mentioning :)

Sent from Cupertino HQ with my galaxy Tab 10.1v
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Galaxy Tab P1000 Running the CM9 Rom support added in 1.5.5

I have an idea how to fix this. I will add option to register min-max coordinates sent by driver and calculate borders according to these coordinates instead of declared screen resolution. I guess some devices needs coordinate mapping (I had to do this with Toshiba Thrive). So with this option it will calibrate automatically. I will prepare test version later. Lets if it solves the issue.

Forward works only in browser. There is no standard forward action for applications, but I will check if can add this manually. Other action that was suggested would be toggle between two last used applications. Would that help?

I understand recording would be cool, but its not like you will be creating new gestures every day. Its more a flexibility option. So, recording at the moment has low priority in my list.

"Root" is not like android "permission", you don't grant it to application, its just when application executes "su" command from shell, "Superuser" application asks if user allows this. So its actually shell process that gets root access.

Could you be more specific about disabling single touch? If you mean my application default gestures then only selected option (multitouch or singletouch) works, not all of them.

Not sure if sorting is needed, how big is your launch pad? I had request to disable empty row. This option I plan to add.

This is in todo list. If I find a way, I will add it. interesting, that on SGS2 same actions shows that scrollable list.

That's bad, I will test it. Shouldn't be this way. I tried it earlier on HC and it works no problem. Will test what is wrong on ICS.

Android kills service from time to time (no way to prevent it) but restarts it after ~30secs if proped flags are set. This was working for me, but I will test it again. Will fix it.

It should not kill process if notification icon is displayed.
[Android Apps and Games] Psyloid:
I'll try that, i had notification icon disabeled in taskbar, if that is the solution, i'd like to have the option though to have a transparent notification icon. I don't like my bar cluttered with icons ;)
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I have good news and bad news :rolleyes:

Good news is - I can show recent apps list.

Bad news - it cannot be shown without status bar and it works only in ICS. There is no HC source, so I don't how to trigger it there.

[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
New version 1.5.6

- Improved responsiveness of LaunchPad (expand) and Home (pinch) gestures.

- Fixed: LaunchPad sometimes could be executed with 2 fingers (now at least 3 required).

I really felt that expand gesture was sluggish, now algorithm is improved and I feel it is responding well. Home (pinch) is also improved. Now will be adding them to custom gestures.

Most of the time spent analysing ICS source code. As I said in earlier post, recent apps list can be triggered, but only if bar is not hidden. Same for notifications.

Still no luck with background. My impression is that ImageWallpaper relies on fixed screen size and after bar hiding buffer size does not fit screen size.

Have some ideas why status bar might restore for some users after longer time. Will try to fix that in next version.
[Android Apps and Games] qubz:
Good work. Personally I don't use hide status bar. I just want gestures for the home and recentapps buttons. And I'm on ICS. Maybe do an sdk version check and add the option for sdk > 13
[Android Apps and Games] flydev:
when you disable one of the default gestures, is disable for multi and single touch at the same time.

i just want to use home gesture with multitouch and disable just for single.

(i'm using an asus tf101)

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] docprego:
I am experiencing the same issue. I did have the notification icon disabled, I have since re-enabled it so we'll see if that does the trick.

Verified to work properly in the stock browser but it has no effect in Dolphin Browser HD. My tablet recognizes the gesture as proven by the on screen notification but my tablet does not respond.

A few more issues:

-Sluggishness when the status bar is hidden. It doesn't seem to be when the app is running but rather when the status bar is hidden.

-When the default gesture for showing the launchpad is enabled (required 4 fingers), it will be activated by three fingers when I have a custom gesture configured. I have configured 3 fingers left to be back and 3 fingers right to be forward. When using these the launchpad will be activated even though I am using only 3 fingers and moving left and right. I have to disable the launchpad gesture to use the custom gestures I configured, otherwise the launchpad overrides my custom 3 finger gestures.
[Android Apps and Games] hasenbein1966:
Simply set up a launchpad in GMD that shows the recent apps, then you don't need the Recent Apps Feature of the status bar!

By the way: When you have a Cyanogenmod-based ROM, you can set up a toggle for the “Extended Desktop“ via Tasker and Secure Settings. Works way better, more reliable (no background picture problems) and also faster than the method of killing SystemUI for hiding the status bar!

Can you please please please add a white list option? That means having gmd only in certain apps without having to pause it manually in every single app I installed. ... I'm trying to make it work only on homescreen (apex and nova gestures style)
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
I used a Recent Apps launchpad, but some of the Recent Apps capabilities aren't available with the launchpad like remove an app from the list by swiping it away. The dev was planning of implementing this together with may be adding digits which display the free memory somewhere in that same launchpad. When this is done then I don't see why not. :)

Similar:

A. What happened with the update with the Record gesture function. I'm using the dev version with this capability for quite some time and have no issues at all, so I was expecting to have the official GMD updated.

B. Export/import settings was also discussed and I believe was also on the Todo list?

Great app, more than useful! And with potential :)
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Development is a bit slower lately because I have some important stuff to do at my job and you know its not always easy to get to Android coding after been coding for 8 hours at job :o, but still new version is moving forward. I read all the posts and as most of the posts are feature request I'll just sum it up what will be available in next version. I posted it in second post too and will keep it updated when new features are suggested.

- Settings backup/restore

- Gestures export/import

- Gestures groups - full functionality is not defined yet, but it will be possible to export/import whole group. I think this will be helpful concept overall, for example I could add whitelist/blacklist for group, etc.

- App blacklist/whitelist for each custom gesture

- More starting zones

- Ending zones

- Gestures rejection when using S Pen on Note's.

- LaunchPad speed improvement

- Multilanguage - I will add a couple of languages that I speak, but will post message files and will update translation if community submit it.

- Status bar modes - status bar hiding is widespread in custom roms now and I will add option to select what method should be used: built-it, CM/Paranoid (where available), shortcuts (in case you have some other app that can do it), etc.

- Cycle LaunchPad app action - it will switch to next/previous app in LaunchPad.

- Remove killed app from recent apps

- Other fixes

Not decided if it makes to next version or later:

- Graphical gestures

- Lock screen gestures

- Extended LaunchPad actions - kill app, etc.

- GS Pad

Definitely won't make into next version but will be added in later versions:

- Volume/Brightness control

Other tasks (tasks that don't have plan, but will be added whenever I decide to work on it):

- Cut/Copy/Paste action

- Custom string "type" action

- Disable gestures when Notification window is open

- "Strict" starting zones - starting zone that consumes touch events immediately, it would effectively prevent interaction with running app when doing gesture from that zone, but would consume click events too (same like other applications that use overlays for triggers).

- Mobile data trigger action

- WiFi hot spot trigger action

- Flashlight trigger action

- Screenshot action

- Kill all apps action

- Detach LaunchPad items from LaunchPad position. I.e. allow to share same items in different LaunchPad positions, and allow to have multiple LaunchPad in same position.

- Custom Hold gesture timeout.

GS Pad is basically dialog where you can draw graphical gestures and execute actions assigned to them. In contrary to regular graphical gestures you will need to trigger it first. It will have separate gestures set. It will also draw path on screen when drawing gesture. In general its similar to other gesture apps, but I have some cool unique ideas about it.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Current status bar hiding method is simply killing System UI. It may have some ill effects on some systems. I will add option to choose external implementations where available.

Its hard to say what happened. I didn't get other complains about it. Is it still happening? Maybe it hit some weird timing, but I don't know what to fix yet. Let me know if you can reproduce it, then we can log additional information.

I was thinking about it and maybe I can match animation speed to swipe speed, but I need to investigate it further.

I will improve launchpad speed in next version and added custom hold timeout to task list. Do you want just one setting to rule them all or custom timeout for each gesture?

I will investigate it.

I won't try to pretend here. I did nothing special. I guess Android loves my app. They were meant to be together and have children, you know, a bunch of small gestures :)
[Android Apps and Games] nimrodity:
one custom timeout for all is enough,i think for each gesture would be a bit overkill and isn´t really necessary.

Also could you maybe make the organizing of the launchpad apps a bit easier,would be amazing if you would see a layout of the actual launchpad itself and could just drag and drop or at least replace them by clicking the icons.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
Wow! As I said, a lot of potential, a lot of ideas :D

You didn't forget the one about the zone outside the keyboard, which is "not usable" for gestures which are disabled during keyboard, did you? Something like: disable the gesture only over the area of the keyboard.

Thanks for the extensive Todo post and for having the intentions to implement all these awesome functions!

My complements!

I think a beer from me is in order!

Keep up the great work! :)

Nexus 4 Problem

The same problem exists in Nexus 4 - when bottom bar is hidden you cant recieve calls... I've tried to exclude the phone app but that didnt really do the trick. the only thing you can do is unhide the bottom bar and take the call.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
:highfive:

I plan to get rid of LaunchPad tab and add item organization and configuration directly on LaunchPads. This will come together with multiple LaunchPads in one position. And I will add synch option then - you can create multiple launchpad that have same items synchronized. Still havent decided if changing position in one LaunchPad should change position in other LaunchPad. Probably it will be like this in initial version as it is easier to implement :)

Thanks :highfive:. I added this to the task list in second post, so it won't be lost. I refactored how this diable on keyboard work already and this will be added in next version. Basically in first tab instead of checkbox there will be a selection, when keyboard is visible: gestures enabled, gestures disabled, disabled in keyboard area. Then each custom gestures have options: default, gestures enabled, gestures disabled, disabled in keyboard area. This way you can control all custom gestures at once or override for particular gestures.

I could not find how to detect keyboard size, so I will simply add and option to specify it.

I know this is happening, this is one of the issues when killing SystemUI. I need to investigate if I can solve it. I will post here any updates.

What about more flexible positioning of the launch pads? Been waiting a long time to use the launch pads that are currently beyond my thumb's reach.
