Will you also implement some improvements requested within this thread, like faster reaction, setting % of active area etc.?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] hasenbein1966:
The reaction speed most often is dependent on the device and the OS, not the GMD app.
[Android Apps and Games] vitoski:
Not exactly as there are other similar apps on Google Play which have faster reaction time exactly on the same device (model, ROM, setup).

One of the users requested faster reaction time gave the name of such application within this thread.
[Android Apps and Games] luciusallinger12:
Nowadays, you have millions of apps to choose from. I personally think that maybe 0.001% are "usable".

To me (but I am an old stick), a mobile is to CALL someone (or receive a call, like a pager)
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
I think that other app also has hardcoded gestures, so they are easier to recognize. Here every gesture is defined by you and I really don't know if it's easy to make the recognition any faster
[Android Apps and Games] robhug:
I just noticed a bug, this is when I do my gesture to expand the notification panel, the animation is very slow, I mean that the notification panel go down very slowly. I remember this is due to marshmallow. For information: I use a tablet (Galaxy tab s) running the slim6 rom (marshmallow) and I use the CyanogenMod root manager. Thanks :)

[MENTION=4147454]StupidIdea[/MENTION], I sent an email, forgetting that there was a thread.

Is it possible to add a swipe for access to the App Drawer?
[Android Apps and Games] ale82to:
I ve been a big fan of this app but honestly I m very disappointed lately on my new nubia z11 max recognition time for gesture is much worse than my old note 4 despite having a superior hardware also it s the only app causing soft reboot if the developer is interested in the issue a can send a tombstone for the reboot.

If you have nova launcher then in GMD select Action > Shortcut >Nova action > App drawer
[Android Apps and Games] simplyazn04:
Best $5 I ever spent on the PlayStore. Thank you for making this wonderful app! I had planned to keep my OP3 stock because I wanted to use android pay but unfortunately, I had to sacrifice android pay because I just had to use this app
[Android Apps and Games] basimzanaty:
Also ....you can install an app from play store called EAS then go to GMD + ADD + ACTION + SHORTCUT + ALL APPS

Very nice App drawer
[Android Apps and Games] Mecca EL:
Thank you. Will definitely give this a go!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Mecca EL:
You are awesome my friend. Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] collinsps:
Excellent app, wow. Been looking for this app for years. Really needs a save settings option. Please, I use on more than one device.
[Android Apps and Games] Mahnsinn:
Thy titanium backup or similar
[Android Apps and Games] fantasylovevn:
Cannot turn on flashlight with lastest updates. fC
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Do you mean to say that it's possible to back up GMD's app data in Titanium on one device, upload the TB backup to the cloud, download the same to a second device with GMD installed, and use TB's "restore app data" feature to replicate ("import") the first device's GMD settings and custom gestures onto the second device?
[Android Apps and Games] thoiloidainhan:
Yes.its possible. Been doing this for years across 5 different devices
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
Well that sounds more complicated than it actually is.

I normally just copy the Titanium backup files to the new phone and restore the whole app. Easy as that, doing that since the Nexus4 with gmd.
[Android Apps and Games] al33m:
Why doesn't the app work on Redmi Note 3? It works perfectly well with Galaxy Note 4
[Android Apps and Games] Scarface1991:
Anybody by coincidence uses a OnePlus 3 and the Sultan ROM which is based on CM13? Doesn't work with it at all. Doesn't recognize any gestures while running in the background. It worked just fine with the Stock ROM (OxygenOS 3.2.8)

Edit: Never mind fixed it. I had to go into the device settings within the app and just turn on override touch device and saved afterwards, after that it works just great again. Never had to do this before but the most important thing is that it works now ?
[Android Apps and Games] the7thson:
Hi there, I am a long time user of of the GMD GestureControl Pro app. On my latest device (Huawei MediaPad M3) running Marshmallow, the app keeps getting killed shortly after the screen turns off and I can find a way to get it to stick.

Here are the things I have tried so far:

Enable the option in the app to show a notification all the time

Change the notification to high priority within Android

Exclude GMD from any/all battery optimizations in the OS

Install Xposed and use the "App Settings" module to make the app stay "resident" in memory

Multiple Reboots after trying these options

So far, nothing seems to work :( GMD keeps getting killed no matter what I try. This is a tablet with 4GB of RAM and I can run literally 30+ apps concurrently without any of them closing, but for some reason, GMD GestureControl keeps getting killed and I can't figure out why.. I wonder if this is an issue only Marshmallow onwards? I still have the app running on several older devices - Nexus 6, Moto X etc.

I see that over the years, several other people have reported similar issues but in spite of a lot of searching in this thread, I have not yet found a solution that worked.

Thanks in advance for any ideas anyone may have.

EDIT: just to clarify - the system shows that the background service and app are still running, so they're not killed according to the OS, but they do stop working for sure.
[Android Apps and Games] bark1234:
for ever have been facing this problem. first with mediapad x1, then x2 and now with m3. i use tasker to launch gesturecontrol and back button whenever screen is unlocked.

plus i have used xposed additions to add shortcut to launch gesturecontrol on double pressing volume up, for cases when i am actively using device and notice gestures sleeping.
[Android Apps and Games] daltonhrrll:
Anyone else having issues getting recent apps to work ? Does nothing when triggered on my device.
[Android Apps and Games] JBY:
I observed that recents didn't work for me on RR rom. But it works well on stock rom. I have a nexus 6p. Which rom are you on?
[Android Apps and Games] daltonhrrll:
I'm also on RR. Maybe it has something to do with Omni also being in the ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] the7thson:
Update: Good news, I figured out a satisfactory solution :)

Since everyone using this app is rooted, you can use any utility app (I used Titanium backup) to convert this to a system app and now it works flawlessly, it has persisted through several reboots and hours of screen off time. Hope this helps others having the same issue.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
Same here. Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Android 601.

GMD force closes immediately after making the gesture for flashlight.
[Android Apps and Games] Reechings:
Amazing app but why is there no navigation action for going "forward" for using on web browsing?
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Action - Shortcut - GMD Gesture Control - Browser - Forward ?
[Android Apps and Games] Reechings:
Thanks! I thought it seemed unlikely that wouldn't be in there.
[Android Apps and Games] ithehappy:
I have a question, I just set Back, Home and Recents as actions for swiping up-left, up-middle and up-right from bottom border on my Pixel but is there a way to have something pressed to open an app? I mean say if I keep holding on the swipe up action (home), could that open an app, say the Google Assistant for example? Not looking for multiple finger option, single only.
[Android Apps and Games] Techvir:
Is it possible to make a gesture for " request desktop site " in chrome ?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Shortcut to a Tasker task maybe?
[Android Apps and Games] Reechings:
Anyone know of a substratum theme that has an overlay for the pro version of this app?
[Android Apps and Games] cswithxda:
WOW this app is working flawlessly! Upon installing 10.0 initially these gestures won't work: to page top/bottom, back/forward.

Today after reading the last two pages of this thread, it reminded me to give it a try again, and all these gestures work flawlessly, in Chrome and Firefox and a few other apps. New year's surprise and I'm a happy camper now =D

[MENTION=4147454]StupidIdea[/MENTION]

Any chance of adding option for launchpad to be positioned about halfway between it's current "center" and "bottom center" or be able to place anywhere on the screen. Also would be great to be able to resize the launchpad regardless of icon size so they can be spaced out more. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Reechings:
Also I was wondering if there is any way to launch the launchpad as a shortcut from another app? Like set a double press of my home button to launch it?
[Android Apps and Games] stiefa00:
Hey, can I use this app to draw gestures while the screen is off?

Like in CM or OxygenOS. I'd love to keep my Pixel but I can't life without a flashlight gesture that works while screen is off. Coming from an Oneplus Two.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Reechings:
Are you running stock? You can always install DU and have long press of power button turn on flashlight.
[Android Apps and Games] stiefa00:
Yes, stock. But would root for a decent flashlight gesture / shortcut. I'll look for DU. Never heard of it sofar. Thanks for the hint.
[Android Apps and Games] Reechings:
Never heard of Dirty Unicorns? It's a great AOSP based custom ROM and in my opinion the best one currently available for the Pixel. Just google "Dirty Unicorns Marlin" and you'll find it.
[Android Apps and Games] stiefa00:
I remember a rom with an unicorn in its logo. It's been a while since I flashed ROMs daily. :) Good old Nexus S times. I'll google that now, cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
PureNexus also has the "Long press power for flashlight" when the phone is in standby. Pretty damn amazing
[Android Apps and Games] Reechings:
I just wish they would add smartbar, can't live without having options for long press and double tap of the navbar buttons.
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
Posting this in the GMD thread is a bit weird. You can do all those actions with GMD easily. I don't even have the navbar on
[Android Apps and Games] Reechings:
My apologies for off topic talk. Do you mind sharing a screenshot of your gestures or explaining what you use to replace all of the navbar buttons? I can't imagine it would be as fast to draw a small V or letter or something compared to just tapping the navbar button. I do use GMD for special functions like screen off and expanded mode etc.
[Android Apps and Games] Techvir:
Works well with for me

Sent from my Nexus 6P
[Android Apps and Games] Reechings:
WOW, that's crazy! So you use a lot of specific start points in the screen to minimize accidental swipes it looks like?
[Android Apps and Games] Techvir:
I have been using GMD for the past 4 years or so and not used a navigation bar since then. With my setup, i do not get any accidental touches and all the swipes work great and without any delay. It is better than the navigation bar since I can triggers activity at different points on the screen and very friendly for single hand use.
[Android Apps and Games] Reechings:
I may have to look into making the transition myself. I used Galaxy phones for a long time and got used to not losing any screen real estate and it would be nice to get it back.
[Android Apps and Games] dian0219:
some multitouch issue happend in my nexus5x. how to I fix it? android7.1.1
[Android Apps and Games] perpe:
At the moment I don't miss complex gesture, but it could be useful in the future, especially if that feature will be turn on/off able.

It would be nice to have a feature like turn off/on gesture recognization with triple finger tap for some apps, not stopping the whole service, something like "pause gesture control till screen off" but with the abiltiy to turn it on again.
[Android Apps and Games] clel:
I think this feature would be very helpful, it would help me with some gesture problems, while pinch to zoom.
[Android Apps and Games] raynerape:
+1 to On Release Gestures. I usually trigger swiping while doing gestures that can be very annoying.
[Android Apps and Games] pdppdp:
Suggestion for next version:

Swiping through settings should be possible. Right now you can only swipe the header.

Hope to see it working on galaxy s since I never want to miss it again on my tab.
[Android Apps and Games] clel:
I had the same idea, would be very helpful on phones.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
New version: 1.8.3

1.8.3:

- Fixed startup on reboot.

- Added Screen Off (lock) action.

- Added I9000 support.

- Added Huawei Mediapad (hws7300u) support.

- Fixed FC when moving last item in LaunchPad setting tab.
[Android Apps and Games] supersain08:
Is it possible for you to add support for lepan II tablet TC979
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Probably. Does application display message: unsupported device? In that case PM me device list (or email screen shot). I need exact device names, case sensitive. I will prepare test version then.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
New version: 1.9.0

1.9.0:

- Added option to consume 3+ touch points events.

Other application will not receive 3+ touch points events if this is enabled in settings.

Enabled by default.

I tested it for some time and I think it greatly improves usability. Let me know your experience.

If I don't receive any problems regarding this option, I will switch default Back and Bar gestures to 3 touchpoints intead of 2 and add "Legasy mode" option for users who prefer 2 points.
[Android Apps and Games] flydev:
please, can you explain what is this?

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] clel:
It describes the option that only gesture control will recognize gestures with 3 or more fingers. This improves the usability, because then you won't have conflicts with other apps. Anyway I would like the option that a gesture is only recognized after leaving the screen.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
"On screen release" option is coming, I have started to implement it already, just need to alter gestures to check full path and test it more. But it is different area. "On screen release" will help to avoid conflicts between different gestures inside my application. "Consume 3+ points events" allows you to avoid accidental triggering of actions in other applications while doing gestures, as long as your gestures use 3 or more touch points.
[Android Apps and Games] clel:
Thanks alot, but in some cases it is not a different area, because it helps to avoid conflicts with 2 finger gestures, when pinch to zoom in browser etc, too.
[Android Apps and Games] davfunk:
Yes, I will wish this plugin and use it with Tasker.

Tx for your app and thank you for your help.
[Android Apps and Games] metaldood:
With such fast updates and support I definitely look forward to buying pro. Support the dev.

I installed this on my Galaxy Tab 8.9 (p5wifi) runnin AOKP ICS rom.

sadly i have to report that nothing is working.

none of the gestures register and when i try the border calibration it also doesn't work. i can touch the borders as much as i like and nothing registers.

i tried going to the single touch gestures but also nothing...

Is there anything i can do to troubleshoot??? any logs?! would be awesome if i could get this to work on my tab...

just a hunch but maybe its because our screen is rotated 90*. on most devices landscape is the standard view but ours for some reason got the screen setup as portrait. (also causing a few issues with rotation animations etc on the ics roms)
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
New version: 1.9.1

1.9.1:

- Fixed Back action in custom gestures.

Last version introduces problem for custom Back gesture that uses 3 or more touch points. This should be fixed now.

If you go to Help tab, does it detect multitouch device? What device and parser are displayed? I will add support for your device if you are willing to test it and provide necessary information. This usually takes 1-2 days.

From the Help Tab:

Version: 1.9.0

Device: p5wifi (actually i have the normal p5 version with 3g but the rom is wifi only so it shows up as p5wifi)

Multitouch device: sec_touchscreen (DefaultEventParser)

Here is a screenshot:

http://i.imgur.com/z4Itm.png

im fine with testing stuff. just let me know what to do!
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I prepared test version and sent you PM.

Note, that status bar hiding on ICS is in Alfa stage and while I'm still looking for improvements, it may be that it will stay in current stage. I cannot promise any improvements in that area. If you are only looking for solution to hide bar, you probably be better with some mod. When you hide bar on ICS with my application image wallpaper will disappear, because it is running on the same process as status bar. Solution is to use Live Wallpaper. Try Simple Image Wallpaper Free from market if you want still image wallpaper.

I have already 3 different protocols for Samsung with sec_touchscreen, so I'm binding them according to particular device. I will PM you instructions how to get protocol sample, so I will see which parser is good for your device.
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
I've attached a screenshot of my gestures.

Disabled the navbar since years and I'm by far faster executing gestures than going all the way down on my phone for the navbar. Also I can have a much better grip on the phone, so I'll never drop it.
[Android Apps and Games] Techvir:
Like some of ur gestures settings.. Will implement them too..

I thinks users should share more screenshots of their settings
[Android Apps and Games] muzzy996:
I'm also a big fan of edge gestures and employ a lot of them, which makes one handed operation so much nicer. I also use Pop-up Widget to create widgets that are accessible via gestures. A few useful examples of pop-up widgets include Chrome bookmarks to make it easier to get to my bookmarks, a calendar widget, voicemail widget and weather map widget. It's nice to be able to access widget info from within any application without having to have the widgets on any homescreen.

[Android Apps and Games] ReasonablyRooted:
I just started using Resurrection Remix and I also had this problem. I solved it by making a task in Tasker to show recents, and then call that through a shortcut in GMD. Works great.

The "back" gesture does not work wen using the on-screen navigation bar (OnePlus 3).

Anyone have some solutions/workarounds?
[Android Apps and Games] schoebi_zh:

Hi

Im getting a strage error with the paid version.

Running the app on a moto z, stock nougat rooted with magisk.

The app works great but after a few minutes post boot my sensors shut down ie no shake to start camera or flashlight and no wakeup of screen with my hand over the display.

Tested to uninstall the app and I had no problem for a week untill I installed the app again......

Anyone had the same problem?

Is there any way to make a gesture only active when in portrait/landscape? I saw an option in device setup for orientation delta but it doesn't help me. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:

The only way I can see is if the action can be done with Tasker. Gesture >shortcut >task>if portrait then blah, blah /end if.

Orientation delta is only for some "strange" devices where reported screen orientation does not match touch screen orientation.

I really loved the flashlight action. I used to start it with gesture directly from lockscreen and it was very useful for me.

Could you find the time to fix it, please. GMD force closes when this action is used since some time now.
[Android Apps and Games] aillez:
I also often use Flashlight action too.

I currently use this app as a workaround.

Just replace flashlight toggle with this one.

Hope this helps.

New bigger screen phones like SGS8 plus and LG come in use.

I really hope that we get to see custom starting zones (size and place). This would be very, very handy.

I'd gladly pay for a new GMD version for this. Call it "GMD Plus".

Why not including a select all, cut, copy and paste actions. This would be huge.
