icon customization?

Hello, first of all I'd like to thank you for your work. This app is damn awesome and it's saving me a bunch of time and effort.

I was wondering if it's possible somehow to customize the icons. I use sslauncher and use custom icons for all my apps so it would be awesome if I could customize the icons. Other than that I haven't encountered anything wrong with it. Thanks again. Seriously. You've made my Android experience much better.

Question - been using this with Tasker and I realized I'd like to be able to launch the 'alt-tab' behaviour automatically. However when I try to do this using Autoshortcuts, what seems to happen is that GMD GestureControl is launched momentarily, then the alt-tab is executed (which takes me back to the same application I was on previously). Similar behaviour when using Prev App

Any other way to achieve the same Alt-Tab functionality as GestureControl in a Tasker task?
[Android Apps and Games] grivy:
@ngoonee:

You could add 'GMD Gesture Control' to the 'Prev/Next App' blacklist (in gesture control) and see whether it works.
[Android Apps and Games] tofsla:
this app is very helpfull. this is why I got a paid version. However, since Samsung's introduced it's new phone like interface with the last update of firmware for Galaxy Tab 2 I wonder is it possible to hide only navigation bar at bottom and leave notification bar on screen?

One more thing. It seems that something is broken for Tab 2 after version 6+ has been introduced. The app crashes UI every time I try to hide\restore status bar. Had to download version 5 to get it back. Hope this bag will be fixed in the next update
[Android Apps and Games] ngoonee:
Thanks, tried that but still the same behaviour. Adding Tasker as well does not help. Probably I may need to add AutoShortcut but its not a selectable option =(
[Android Apps and Games] NicholasQ:
Stupididea, I have been using this app for a few months now and I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your app. It has become just normal to use gestures for me. I absolutely love this app, one of my favorites. Thanks again.

i got a nexus 4 stock and use gmd. but i cant hide stausbar in games like street fighter 4 and gta vice city. it just shows black border without softkeys.

any solution?other apps and 2D games work.
[Android Apps and Games] Xentar712:
Got the paid version and I love it! Well worth the price, imho. I looked back and saw a message that you were working on support for gestures on the lock screen. Is this still in the pipeline? Would be a nice improvement.
[Android Apps and Games] republicano:
does the full version have an option to backup user config?,i just done a clean flash and forgot about backing up my settings.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
Not yet unfortunately. Stupididea is working on it and it is on the to do list.

But if you have a titanium backup of GMD gesture control it would restore the settings and the app completely for you.

The money for this App is well invested. This app is so awesome and deserves to be bought. Makes Android so much more enjoyable and easier to use.

I don't know why goggle hasn't done something similar, without it you only use 2 fingers while some phones can support up to 10 fingers under utilized phone functions,
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Thanks everyone for help and kind words. I was on vacation last week :cool: but I will try to answer all questions now.

This may depend on application that you are closing. When leaving the application Android calls appropriate methods to notify it that it is closing and allows it to release resources (or do anything in that regard). I have N7 myself and for example executing Home gesture in App drawer works instantly.

Good suggestions. I will take it into account. And thanks for reporting bugs.

I will revert it for Tab 2 to old implementation in next update.

I was trying to be careful with default gestures, so it does not interfere with normal phone usage. Having in mind that some devices have status bar on top, some have soft buttons and some have both its not that ease to come up with something that would work well for everyone. I was asking users what gestures they create and so far its very different gestures. Some like single touch gestures, and then there are users who prefer 2 finger gestures and so on 3, 4, 5. Some say 4 pinch is bad I should set 5 like iPad, then others say 4 is too much 3 is the best :silly:

I do have plans prepare more presets and allow to change actions for default gestures.

I changed root check in recent version, maybe something is wrong. I see you solved it, but I will review the code anyway.

Yes, if devices are listed then I can add support for your device.

sis_touch sound like multitouch device. Try selecting it with HC_DEFAULT and ICS_DEFAULT parsers. If it does not work, open Help tab click Email developer->Send protocol sample and follow instructions on screen.

You can add icons using external customization application like Desktop Visualizer.You can even change icons for GMD actions this way.

I will take a look.

I just kill status bar process. It up to the running application to take that space or not. I cannot enforce it to resize.

Yes :o

Thank you very mich. It's working now fine with sis_touch and HC_DEFAULT on PadFone 2!

Just one ting is not working. If I toggle statusbar, it hides, bur comes back directly. I get the error massage that System-UI has been closed.

I tried busybox but without success. Do you have any Idea or need more information?

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

Hi,

I was thinking of buying this app. What I wanted to know is there any way to toggle expanded desktop mode via gestures? I am running cm10.1 . I have heard that it was possible using aokp via calling activities but wasn't able to find any for cm. Those who ate using cm, please let me know.

Also, a way to pull down the notification drawer when in expanded desktop mode via activity ( not via another app)?

[Android Apps and Games] Narenji89:
hi buddy

if you remove status bar hiding ability from app, does it still need a rooted device to make the gestures work? and can it be selected as device administrator instead to execute gestures?:confused:

tnx
[Android Apps and Games] Xentar712:
Maybe this was addressed before(couldn't find it when searching). I've noticed that the notification drawer and quick toggle pull-down menus default to opening completely with a quick gesture instead of tracing the finger and staying open only when you reach a certain threshold. Is this by design or is it merely a consequence of adding gesture support? It's certainly not a deal breaker for me - I can get used to it. I actually prefer it your way on the Nexus 7 because pulling down the notification drawer the old way was really frustrating sometimes(at least for me). On my Nexus 4, though, I prefer it tracing my finger,. This is mostly because I frequently pull down the notification drawer to simply get a glimpse and then release it for it to disappear. If it's by design, would you consider making it a toggle to switch off? Like I said, not a deal breaker - just a personal preference. :)
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I don't use CM. Does it provide shortcut for expanded desktop? If not you would need to create shortcut using external app like Secure Settings. There is built in action to open notification panel.

Root is needed in order to read touch events.

1) Gestures are like triggers, when gesture is recognized application triggers corresponding action.

2) Even if I want I cannot control every detail of external applications. There is no way to 'slide' notification panel from external application. I can only change the state: opened/closed.
[Android Apps and Games] browy:
Hello, first of all I have to say thank you for creating such a fantastic app. It's one of the best apps I've used so far.

Secondly, I don't know if this has been requested but can you please add some gestures like triple tap, two finger double tap, double tap and hold etc. I think tapping gestures are more convenient than drawing gestures.

I'd also like to report a bug. I'm on a Nexus 7 with Android 4.2.1. Gestures that are started from borders don't seem to work properly. For example gestures that should only be activated from the top border can also be draw in the upper half of the screen. Can you look into it please.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
1) Tap gestures are already implemented. Create custom gesture and enter T for singe tap, T-T for double tap, T-T-T for triple tap and so on. Also select number of Touch Points as usual. Starting zones work too. There is default Alt-Tab gesture with 4 fingers double tap.

2) Please make sure you selected 'Top Border' and not 'Top Half of Screen'. Also please check that you are not triggering some other gesture accidentally. I have N7 and just tested it. It works properly on my device.

Custom border gestures

Hello,

Just downloaded your app and I'm very impressed, one of the most useful app purchases I've made. Thanks.

I seem to have a problem with two-directional, one-finger CUSTOM gestures from any border (i.e. UL or UR). The default UL and UR gestures work fine, but when I create a custom one I have difficulty getting the gesture to activate. One-directional custom border gestures (i.e. L or R) also work fine. I have tried calibrating borders and they are not very much different from the default 720x1280 provided. I have also tried setting HC_DEFAULT and ICS_DEFAULT parsers. I have also tried reinstalling the app, and have made sure the gesture starting area is correct. Was wondering if you can provide any advice on my difficulty getting the custom border gestures to register, maybe I'm missing something simple.

edit: I'm using a Galaxy Note 2, with XposedTweaks app to change my devices/apps DPI, but again I have no problem using any of the default GMD gestures, so I assume its nothing to do with this.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
Re: [APP][HC/ICS/JB] GMD GestureControl ★ root

May be you're trying to do up and then right. In this case you should type: U-R.

UR is a straight line running diagonally over your screen.

Not a gesture running up and then to the right...

Am I right with what you're missing? Sorry if I didn't understand your post well enough.
[Android Apps and Games] slicknick27:
Aha now I feel dumb, yes. I have been typing "UR" instead of U-R" in the gesture command. I knew it was going to be something simple :silly:

Thanks so much for clearing that up. Looking forward to providing more feedback in the future.

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

I tried the new version from Google Play and it does not work proper. The bar is hiding and after toggling again, the message hide is coming again. I cannot toggle the bar on. After turning the screen off and on, i can get the bar again. This is the only working way.

I will try the "old" app now.

Edit: the old version works awesome. I havent checked the busybox option. Hide Bar command hides the bar, show bar command shows it. Like it should. Whats the difference beteeen the new version which does not work on my Padfone2?
[Android Apps and Games] Xentar712:
Re: [APP][HC/ICS/JB] GMD GestureControl ★ root

Is there a way to disable the notification drawer/quick toggle triggers and use the default ones or are they disabled as a consequence of enabling the service?

EDIT: I want to clarify, now that I figured something out from fooling around. So I originally created a gesture that would open an app by swiping right at the top border. With that gesture enabled, I am able to pull down the notification drawer and quick toggles, however they come down at their pace following the completion of the down swipe gesture. Once I disable the gesture, they pull down tracing my finger(like normal). I switched the gesture to the top right 1/3 and the notifications pulled down like normal, but the toggles drawer went at it's own pace. So any custom gesture that messes with the top border potentially affects how the drawers come down. I'm guessing this isn't a bug, but merely a drawback of messing with the top border triggers. Maybe something you want to look into though. Just wanted to report and clarify since my last comment probably made no sense. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Basically new method is more smooth, but old method is still in application. I just map devices that do not support new method to use old one. I will do this for PadFone 2 in next update.

On the side note, I got report that gestures on PadFone works only in Pad mode. Do they work in Phone mode for you?

Thanks, I will take a look. My application does not care if there is status bar or not. It operates on low level events and does not care what controls are on screen nor does it add any controls. I suspect doing gestures on top area confuses Android (and status bar) instead. I think i may be related to starting zones consumption. Please open 'Touch Consumption' tab and disable 'Consume events in starting zones'. Try if it works as expected now. If it helps, then you can turn it back on and disable consumption just for top starting zones (its in same 'Touch Consumption' tab, just scroll down).
[Android Apps and Games] Xentar712:
Your suggestion worked perfectly. Under Touch Consumption I checked top left 1/3, top center 1/3 and top right 1/3. Everything works like it used to and I still have my custom gestures in the status bar. Thanks for the tip. And again, nice work on the app. I've been making custom apps with Tasker and custom gestures to launch them and have pretty much eliminated the need for profile switching, NFC tags and my Elixir statusbar completely(one less running service). Whenever you add the lockscreen gestures, it will be icing on the cake. Keep it up!
[Android Apps and Games] mu5icman:
AW: [APP][HC/ICS/JB] GMD GestureControl ★ root

They work in Pad Mode because I choose Tablet in the settings. I think I cannot use Tablet and Phone at the same time. Actually I wish that I could stop GMD when I'm in Phone Mode, because I just need the gestures with the Tablet.

If I change to phone mode, the gestures do not work. I cannot calibrate and the calibration setting is not correct for the phone.

I'm happy when the gestures just work in Tablet mode :)

You can great a gesture to pause gestures... And use the option to this gesture to ignore gesture pause so this gesture will working even if gesture are not... Make it quite difficult to do this gesture by mistake...

Titanium backup was updated.

In their new version the "menu" action doesn't seem to work. It can't get the menu to open.

Not a big deal, so you decide if it needs to be looked over.

Edit: they have changed completely what opens their menu because I can't open it also with my menu hardware button.

I have an issue with using the app with galaxy note 10.1 and s- pen

I have already sent a mail to support but also thought of putting a post here.

User comment:

...I wanted to know if its possible to ignore gmd gestures when using S pen in galaxy note.

The reason is that when I use s-pen to write on screen,

1- When writing using spen, when my hand touches the gesture Zones, gestures are produced

2- When the spen is used close to the screen edges ( nearly a centimeter ) the pen stops working if the palm is resting on the gesture zone ( ie zone near the edge of the screen)

This interferes with making notes and annotating.

Samsung has a features that disables palm when pen tip is close to the screen ( palm rejection) - ( Which I am sure you know ) . It would be great if gestures would be automatically disabled when pen tip is close to the screen.

Please advise if disabiling gestures automatically is possible if pen is close to the screen .

Sorry if these idea or questions have been brought up already.

1. A launchpad that includes both user defined and recent. Put in Your fave two or three apps and have the recents grow on tap of that.

2. I know this one has been brought up but would be very handy. Remove item from recent apps in launchpad.

3. Tap-swipe gestures. Can this be done already? They are really good to add more possibilities.

4. More/configurable starting zones. I would like 4 on the bottom for example. Also really want to increase the size of the corner zones.

5. Add noises to selected commands. I have hidden nav bar and using gestures for home / recent / back etc . Might be cool to have a clicky sound like the actual button.

Theres not alot wrong with this app at all. I really love it.

Thanks

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

I asked about this one some time ago and it was discussed here, yes. So I know it's on the to do list.

How is this different from blacklist>Excluded from Prev/Next App? Apps that I blacklist there don't show in the Recent applications LaunchPad.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
Re: [APP][HC/ICS/JB] GMD GestureControl ★ root

This will remove an app from the recent apps list just the way it is possible to remove it from the stock recent apps list (by hold or better in my opinion: by swipe out of that list) so it's no longer present there till the next time you open this same app.

In the update from today of titanium backup they fixed this issue. They had it on several devices.
[Android Apps and Games] Jimmy34742:
Oh, right, I see now. Actually, I thought that I read in an old post from before the time I started using GMD that there used to be a feature where the apps would show in GMD's recent tasks with some sort of 'x' that you could press to clear them from the launchpad. Then the dev killed the feature for some reason. But I might be confusing this with something else I read somewhere, so please excuse my memory if it's wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] jarayn:
That would be ok I think. Although part of the reason i like the recent apps as it is is because its so slim.

Its funny because when I first saw the big recent apps menu I thought it was so neat. Now I cant stand it lol. Especially since it now seems to return to the home screen if i dont select something rather than the screen I was on when I opened it. Did it always do that?

crap, i wanted to make such an app since I have a droid..

Was too lazy and you got it first xP

[Android Apps and Games] S.Phrenic:
I'm also hoping for such a feature in the future. The palm detection messes up my tablet when writing and because of forgetting to pause gestures when starting to write it very often jumps to home(gesture), goes back(gesture) or other gestures are triggered. The feature would fix that problem.

Although i still think this is the best app on the market, i'm currently not using it because of the trouble i have with it at the moment.

Notification bar

Hi,

I have absolutely fallen in love with this app.

Since I have a soft navigation bar, I like to have my status bar always off. But since this also hides notification bar.

Now anytime I get a message/mail, I have hard time figuring out what I got - Is it gmail or office mail or sms or whatsapp. I can have a action to bring down Notification bar, but that kind of spoils the fun as firstly it takes 1-2s to start the process and bring it down. Secondly, it doesn't switch back to hide-mode automatically.

Now if you guys always work in status bar off mode, how do you guys check your notifications seamless happy way ? Sorry if this has already been discussed. Its a long thread.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
This is technical limitation, but there are 2 possible solutions:

1) Apply simple mod to hide only navigation bar:

2) Install some 3rd party notifications management application. I might implement one myself in the future, but there are some ready solutions already.

There is an app called intellicover which uses the proximity sensor to turn the device on/off. Its a free app and quite good. You should check it out...
[Android Apps and Games] Jimmy34742:
The problem with IntelliCover is that it doesn't turn on your phone to the last active app. You can only power on to IntelliCover or the home screen. I'm hoping that dev will add the obviously needed functionality.
