I have a request (which for all I know is already in the app!)

The keyboard I'm currently using is working well for me, but is missing the key Shortcut functions many keyboards have (where you can set things like t=the, n=and).

I'm currently looking up apps which I've seen before, but can't find where you can make custom words/expressions/whatevers & basically call them from the app & paste them into your text box.

Rather then have a new app, I thought I'd turn to one I use regularly anyway.

The thought it to make an action with whatever text I want in it. Then I fire off that gesture & it would just paste that test into whatever app I have open.

Then I can make a gesture to open a Launchpad that is populated by a bunch of these shortcuts.

This method probably wouldn't be so smooth for short words like "the" "and" or names, but would be good for the longer messages like "sorry, on phone can't talk now"

Feature Request - Limit Gesture to Certain Applications

I would like to be able to limit certain gestures to certain applications.

For instance, I like to swipe left or right to go back or forward on web browsers, only. If I set up these gestures, they work great in a browser, but other applications are affected as well with unexpected results.

It would be nice for new gestures to default to all applications not on the blacklist, but to also have an option to open a list of all applications and check off the ones you want to exclusively be controled by the gesture.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Somehow I doubt it would be convenient adding text to LaunchPad. I don't know if such application exist, but separate application with dialog designed for texts should work better. Then just open dialog with custom gesture. Still, without context sensitive suggestions I doubt it would be ergonomic :confused:.

This will be added.

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

Hi, sorry for the basic questions but I've done a cursory search and read through the OP (and watched the YouTube video)... Can this app do simple one finger swipe gestures from the side of the screen for doing such basic COMMANDS as back, home, recents and/or menu? I use my phone almost exclusively with one hand and want something that will allow me to control navigation of my large phone (Nexus 4) without the nav bar at the bottom.

Thanks in advance.

It can do much more than just what you want... You will need the paid version to set it up as you like.

Is it possible to make a gesture working only for a specific app?
[Android Apps and Games] vickypollard:
I just updated my Nexus 7 to 4.2.2. It seems to break the function that hides the status bar. Hiding certainly works, but showing it again just won't work anymore. More people having this problem?
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
As much as i know, that's coming soon
[Android Apps and Games] jotanewman:
Yes, me too! exactly the same problem with Nexus 7 4.2.2

BTW, now you can use static image as wallpaper in fullscreen mode, so i'm think the wallpapers bug is fixed with this update.
[Android Apps and Games] vickypollard:
I emailed the developer about the issue, so I hope it'll be fixed soon.
[Android Apps and Games] S.Phrenic:
Do you think you could get that feature in?
[Android Apps and Games] GSLEON3:
Nexus 10 has same issue with 4.2.2 & revealing the status/nav bars.

Stup, I was curious if you have ever looked at Paranoid Android? It has an Extended Desktop mode natively that hides/shows the status & navigation bars. The PA rom is able to do it without resetting the wallpaper. It is open source, so it may be worth a look at how they are implementing the feature. Just maybe then you can make GMD 100% perfect, I know it is 97.5% perfect now, but fixing the wallpaper reset bug would put it to at least 98.9% perfect. :D

@Stup & jotanewman - The wallpaper issue is still present in Nexus 10 & Nexus 7 for me & the missus.

If you need any Nexus 10 logs, let me know, I'd be more than happy to pull one for you.
[Android Apps and Games] jotanewman:
I hope so, :)

@GSLEON3 :eek: In my N7 when you hide the bars, first the wallpaper (static wallpaper) goes black, but then reappears in full screen.

There is another issue: the "Recent Applications List (ICS)" doesn't work. In my case, using a shortcut in the launchpad.
[Android Apps and Games] vickypollard:
Developer just emailed me that he's working on a fix for the status bar issue :)

[Android Apps and Games] pawces:
I have the paid version and am loving the versatility of this app! That said, I wish there was some way to calibrate it so that it activates first before the homescreen recognizes a long press. My problem is, I have a lot of widgets on screen, and I have configured a gesture to pinch 3 fingers to bring up home/app tray - but for some reason the widgets get lifted out of place almost every time I execute this pinch gesture in my home screen. I've already set long press duration to max in my phone's settings, but even with a short press the widget lifts up and wants to be repositioned. The gesture command is recognized and the app tray still comes up , but with the widget floating right behind it waiting to be repositioned. I hope that wasn't too confusing..I'll put up a screenshot if I can.
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
I got a suggestion...

I would like, that the screen rotates when i swipe two fingers clockwise.

I searched so long for an app that does manual-rotation, but didn't find any good option.

I never liked auto-rotation since I joined android. I always manualy rotated in winmo..
[Android Apps and Games] goenzigrad:
Hi There

Sorry for the maybe dumb question, but im a Newbi in this section...

When i bought my Asus TF300 Tablet and it sayed "Multitouch", i thought Yeah thats cool, there i can use multiple fingers to switch Apps and Stuff like this. And now i read that it only works with rooted devices and Gmd Gesture Control seems the only really good App for this.

My question: Is it really not possible to use Multitouch features whithout rooting the device? (I got Android 4.1.1, build 10.4.2.20 and i find it not so easy to root the device at my knowledge level)

Thanks for any anwser!
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
New version 6.3.0

Updated version in Google Play:

- Added status bar hiding support in JB 4.2.2.

I'm still developing/testing new version with all new features but it is not ready for release yet. Features that were confirmed earlier will be in that new version. But I'm considering releasing some intermediate version, as currently I'm really busy at my main job and it is difficult to find free time to add remaining features. Should be better next month... :silly:.

Try turning off 'multitouch consumption' in 'Touch consumption' tab and see if it helps.

Yes, I will add it.

Status bar hiding - kills status bar process, but this has some side effects as you noticed. Basically all status bar hiding applications that do not modify you system files have similar issues.

Force rotation has some technical challenges (including that some applications may crash) so I don't want to include it into this application. I implemented this as separate application. Download free version of GMD Smart Rotate and then you can create gestures with shortcuts to rotate screen clockwise or counter clockwise. You can preset some orientations for particular applications if you like too.

You can find apps that allow you to draw gestures after you click/touch some trigger (visible or not). Reading touch events all the time requires root.

Custom roms simply modify Android source code. Even if I decide to modify system files this would require separate build for each device. I do plan refactoring status bar part and allow to pick what method should be used, so for example if you have Paranoid or CM 10.1, then you can pick that 'extended desktop' and still enjoy all settings from my apps (like per app status bar hiding), but I cannot just copy 'extended desktop' and make it available on all roms.

What's more, the devise isn't recognized correctly, I have to ovveride the settings (ICS default) and even this way sometimes the gestures fail.

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

Can you add an option that a custom gesture will be active only if status bar is off ? I don't think will be very difficult to do and i find this will be useful on my nexus 4 and my tablet ...

[Android Apps and Games] v4nt0m:
One niggle I have found with GMD and this one is a longshot for a fix and a very minor issue, I'm running GMD on JB and when I fullscreen a flash video with the statusbar hidden the AOSP browser freezes up. It does not do this when the statusbar is unhidden.

I think that may be because from what I understood GMD kills the statusbar rather than "hiding" it, I guess it's why recent apps dialogue does not work when statusbar is hidden.

You mean right bang in the middle vertically and horizontally? How on earth could you avoid that in normal phone use?
[Android Apps and Games] threethirteeneleven:
Re: [APP][HC/ICS/JB] GMD GestureControl ★ root

Bc it would be a very precise point. Like the corner, you would have to touch its exact coordinates. It sounds strange at first but if I make this my only point of activation I would never miss and never touch it by accident. The only thing I don't know is how well touch consumption of all events from that starting zone would work

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

Hey guys, I am looking to permanently hide my status bar, and expand it with a gesture. How can I do that?
[Android Apps and Games] jarayn:
Did you start by getting the app? It's pretty easy but that is the first stumbling block.
[Android Apps and Games] SahilC:
Re: [APP][HC/ICS/JB] GMD GestureControl ★ root

Lol, yes I did. And I've customized the hell out of it. Loving it too, just so you know.

I did notice two settings for status bar, but I'm not really getting it. One toggle switches on the status bar when the screen turns off, and the other toggle hides the status bar when you unlock?

But then when I pull down the status bar, it doesn't disappear again. Sorry if I sound confusing haha.

See basically I'm on a Galaxy Nexus. I've hidden my navbar, and I'd like to hide the status bar too, so I get full screen. And when Statusbar is hidden, if I pull down from the top I'd like the notification tray to open, and then when I'm done the Statusbar should hide again.

Thanks :D

maybe is ridiculous with you, but is very worth to me, let us used a kind words and respect each person.

You can also use the volume buttons to navigate the cursor in some keyboards or even custom roms.

for example: Smartkeyboard Pro
[Android Apps and Games] jarayn:
Ok, theres a couple of good ways to do it. The one I like is automatically hide status bar for whatever apps you like. So for a particular game is good.

For that you go to the tab titled "Blacklist" then choose Hide status bar from the "Apps that:" menu then you just choose which ever ones you want to automatically hide the bar. When you exit that app back to home it will automagically show the bar again.

For what you asked though. You make a custom gesture. Do create gesture then choose your gesture path etc, as its action you choose > action > status bar actions > Toggle status bar. *

* Option 2 if you are using apex launcher or Nova or prob others I just cant confirm. You can make the toggle status bar smoother and quicker. For your Action choose >Shortcut> Nova launcher (apex) Toggle notification bar (Toggle status bar). This just does status bar but is silky smooth.

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

Hey thanks for your answer! :D

See the thing is, I don't want the status bar there at all. But I'd like it to expand when I pull. And I use expanded desktop with GMD. Could that be the reason the status bar isn't expanding?
[Android Apps and Games] S.Phrenic:
Hello good people of the gesture kind,

Does anyone know if there might be a way to have the 'pause/unpause' activity as a shortcut? I have LMT installed and like to use it to trigger this activity as i often use it. I could use a gesture to trigger it but because the palm is still seen as multiple points it sometimes unpauses itself.

so, is it possible?
[Android Apps and Games] SahilC:
Re: [APP][HC/ICS/JB] GMD GestureControl ★ root

Under GMD actions, there is this option. Is this what you're looking for?

[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Status bar hiding kills System UI service.

This is interesting idea, I will add it. But how are you going to hide status bar then?

Motion (accelerometer) gestures or cursor movement? I actually might add them in the future.

I will test this and see how it works. Its easy to add, so if it works ok, why not then.

You are right and unfortunately I cannot fix this.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Ouch I accidentally created second post, so read other answers in previous page...

Best way would be to mod your system. Read these threads:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1985592&highlight=gmd

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/completely-hide-your-status-bar-while-retaining-functionality/

All actions, including Pause/Unpause are exposed as shortcuts, Just create GMD Gesture Control shortcut and it will allow you to select any action.

I don't know how you use it, but if you don't need gestures you can turn all default gestures OFF too. Are LMT gestures better :rolleyes: ?
[Android Apps and Games] S.Phrenic:
Oh no my good sir, GMD is still far more useful.

From LMT I only use PIE, which is the side menu. I only use that because it looks cool.... which is, at the moment, the main reason it's there.

Also, because i'm unable to draw in sketchbook with GMD turned on (with the whole palm as gesture situation i've talked about) i needed a way to go back.

The statusbar is beautifully hidden by GMD as soon as sketchbook is loaded thus I needed a hidden back button.

But, about 10 min ago i recallibrated my GMD border as it seems a Samsung galaxy note 10.1 doesn't have it's resolution as its border coordinates. Now i'm able to use the top edge again as a starting zone... nullifying LMT.... but then again... it still looks cool

I've bought your gesture control and also your smartrotate app... I believe you have made a fan out of me sir :)

---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

Oh, another thing i'm looking for: Samsung has thus popup, multiwindow system, reachable by the statusbar. By pressing a middle icon it pops out all these different apps I can have as a popup

Is it possible to activate that with a gesture? Or is this also something where the statusbar is necessary?
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
Re: [APP][HC/ICS/JB] GMD GestureControl ★ root

To create shortcut you mean to do it by the use of Play Store apps like Quick Shortcut Maker or Smart Shortcuts?
[Android Apps and Games] jarayn:
you cant expand status bar with GMD if you removed it with something else.

Its shouldnt be a problem doing what you want though the way i described before. Its a toggle. So for your purposes you hide it with the gesture and then make it reappear with the gesture when needed.

Or are you hoping that it will sort of smoothly transition down like the notification window without the bar showing?

You cant do that if thats the case.

I added this action (in Samsung action group) for Note 1 and Note 2 but it is still not working on Note 10.1 and I don't have Note 10.1, so I cannot investigate how to pop it :( If I get my hands on Note 10.1 I will fix it, but my friends usually don't like lending me devices. I guess it has something to do with my answers when they ask why I need it, but I haven't figured what exactly is wrong. I usually answer that "I want to root it, flash custom firmware test some root apps, but don't worry I backup everything and will restore it if it is not bricked" :p

No, you don't need anything. You can create shortcut on Home screen simply by adding... shortcut and picking GMD Gesture Control, like any other shortcut (for example bookmarks).

Same for apps that allow to trigger shortcuts like tasker os swipepad.. For example you can open LaunchPad with home screen shortcut, toggle status bar and so on. All actions are exposed as shortcuts.

Hi,

I'm facing some hit & miss issue with GMD for the lower starting zones gestures. My galaxy nexus nav bar is currently hidden via aokp inbuilt function. I tried to replace the

-back function with up(starting zone bottom left),

-home with up(starting zone bottom center) and

-menu with up (starting zone bottom right)

The problem i'm facing is, the gestures from these starting zone doesn't work consistently. I've enable beep to indicate if my gestures starts from the zones. For the same exact position, it will work for a series of similar gestures then refusing to work for a few seconds and then continue to work again.

I have also set recent function to start at center left zone and that works every time.

I've also noticed that whenever the bottom zones are not working, it will start to work again immediately if I trigger the center left zone.

I've tried recalibrating the resolution but it is still the same. Is there anything i can do to make it the bottom zones more consistent ?

Thanks

@StupidIdea,

Just have a thought, how feasible is it to implement a custom multitasking (recent apps) layout? I am thinking that perhaps a holo themed version of the ipad/iphone multitasking bar would be more ideal for tablets as compared to the default ICS+ recent apps which is all the way at the left corner.

I have a some rough ideas on how this could be accomplished. First, a holo themed custom recent apps bar (which tbh I have no idea how to do that but afaik, there are APIs in place to call up the list of recent apps).

Then, to further simulate the ipad multitasking, perhaps a quick screen shot function of the current screen and then using that as a overlay and move it upwards.

Not sure if you get what I mean about the screenshot overlay.
