Excellent suggestion! I sometimes have that issue too, and all my custom swipes start at the edges of the screen.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Top is used for notification bar on phones, so this would prevent expanding it. Bottom has status bar on tablets. So only sides are left. Still some apps use these for flipping pages, for example Chrome allows to switch tab this way.

Do you have this problem in launcher or in some particular app? If I press on empty space and move onto icon, nothing happens on my device. I could probably think of some solution if I could reproduce it.
[Android Apps and Games] Ramis:
hey i have a suggestion,

when you are making a custom gesture

you should make it so that we can make a gesture to a activity

just like in adw. that would be really helpful.
[Android Apps and Games] Davidlemmings:
Thanks for your work :)
[Android Apps and Games] kimocal:
Already purchased the full version. Anything that integrates with Tasker makes it even more awesome!

**EDIT**

I am having issues getting Custom Gestures to work. Tried replacing a couple of the default ones but they don't seem to work. I updated to SuperSU, updated BusyBox, tried a couple different parsers with a ssservice restart but can't seem to get them to work. any suggestions? Am I setting up my custom gestures correctly? Running Paranoid on my AT&T Galaxy Note (see signature).
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
If default gestures work, then custom should work too. Default gestures are same custom gestures in code, just with hardcoded path. Does it fail to execute completely or is it just "not sensitive enough" and executes not every time?

Just to avoid confusion, your gesture means: 3 fingers moved leftwards and then back rightwards. Try not to hit border, because it will register as screen release and reset gesture calculation.

If you leave just 'L' (left) in path, does that work?

Try assigning other action (for example 'LaunchPad'), I'm wondering if its gesture or action that fails. Recent App List action uses undocumented api :roll eyes:.
[Android Apps and Games] kimocal:
That did it. I was trying to create the direction vector for the gesture by defining what i thought were the coordinates, i.e. L-R. I didn't realize the L was a vector itself. Thanks. :thumbup:

No response, so no game...

I can't search through - so far - 68 pages of responses and still get to work tomorrow and 'Search thread' revealed nothing, so I'll ask...

I have a Superuser-rooted Eken T01a, Allwinner A10 driven tablet running ICS 4.0.3 and GC doesn't show any response or error messages. I've restarted it as well. My device is detected.

Any suggestions?

(I just want it to hide the Status bar for a game. Is it actually of use with 'Mass Effect Infiltrator', anyone?)

been using app since the beginning with asus transformer prime. recently i am unable to hide the system bar. i am guessing its the latest rom update (.28) or the latest superuser update.

any help appreciated as i really love the ability to hide the system bar when needed.

please ignore above... last time i rooted busybox did not get installed... all good now

Experimental version: removed BusyBox dependency

Many users experience that status bar hiding is not working without BusyBox update. So I prepared experimental version that do not use BusyBox. Please try XDA version and let me know if status bar hiding/restoring works on your device.

This is just different method to kill process so I know that all other issues (wallpaper disappearing) are still not fixed.

Edit: got all required information.

pofadda: sent you PM with details

deevo2: please test experimental version. It doesn't matter that you already updated BusyBox. If it works it will work next time without BusyBox too.

Habarug: I use it myself on SGS2 for long time. First versions worked on HC only, so title was [HC Tablet] and later I asked moderators to add ICS, but never removed Tablet part :)

Reworking Lite version

I'm moving Lite version to the same package as full version, so upgrade would be more straightforward. Also might move to key based full version later. Old Lite version will be unpublished from market and won't be updated anymore.

Old key for Lite version will work with new version too. Also icon will be same, so unlocked version will be completely similar to full version.

I don't like current model (service stopping on screen off), cause it does not allow to get the feeling how gestures help in general device usage. So that is probably gonna change.

Suggestions are welcome :)

I can't hide status bar after upgrading galaxy tab 7.7 to ICS . Every thing els works fine

Sorry, I solve this by installing busybox.. thank you
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I'm working on solution that would not require busy box install.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
New version: 2.2.5

Version 2.2.5

- Updated status bar hiding on ICS. Now should not require to install busybox on some systems.

- Fixed FC that could happen in some rare cases

- Added new devices: Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Eken

Now default status bar hiding is new implementation (it still kills process, so still has issues with wallpaper). If it does not work for you, PM me and try 'Use BusyBox option'. BusyBox approach was also reworked.

Update 2.2.5a:

Code snippet for testing new feature sneaked into market that would put overlay on screen if vibrate on gesture is turned on. Fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
So I'm working on new action that would allow to dim status bar of any app. Anyone know application that can do this already? I think it would be very useful:

* Phones would hide status bar completely without issues

* CM9 probably could be configured to hide status bar in this case.

* This would add dimming to some video players or games that don't do it or even in home screen. Might be an option for users who don't like status bar killing issues.

This was related to 'bug-feature' that sneaked into 2.5.5. So far it works on HC (least useful) and somewhat work on ICS tablet, but completely don't work on phone, so work in progress.

I know updates are slower lately. There are several reasons for that:

* current stage is stable and somewhat feature full and userbase is small (1k users), so I work more on stability instead of expanding features lately.

* I cannot get rid of all the requirements: root, usb debug, hopefully got rid of BusyBox yay.

* job and other project that is completely unrelated to this one

* status bar issues - I wish I never added this action :)

* summer

So new updates will come, but probably on slower pace. No more complaints about frequent market updates lately on the other hand.
[Android Apps and Games] zhuozhi211:
just purchased the pro today and use on my Sony Xperia S. Love it so far!

It is working fine but need to override touch event parser.

I remember I was using something like that years back on HD2 winmo 6.5.... which I thought it was the coolest and practical app ever, thrilled to see a working app in Android :good:

Can you add ICS Print Screen into action?
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I will check if I can do it. Could you send me List devices dialog screenshot from Help tab. I would add default recognition of your device in next update.

Device: kindle fire

android 4.0

problem: it seems the GMD gestrue app killed at the background and can't be used at that moment, need to reopen the app and all the things work again.

* i haven't used any auto kill app
[Android Apps and Games] clel:
I am always happy to see updates, because they improve the app and bring new features.

BTW: The app is sometimes killed on my phone as well, so gestures don't work. I think this is fixed with notification icon, but I don't want to activate it. So, since you request root access for the app to work there might be another way to prevent that the app is killed.
[Android Apps and Games] bsoplinger:
The way the Android memory management is defined causes the app to get killed. Having the notification greatly reduces the chance it will be killed by the system. You really, really want to use the notification.

Sent from my Sprint Evo View 4G (PG41200) using Xparent Purple Tapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Well, android kills services from time to time and restarts after about 20 seconds. Let me know if it does not restart after it gets killed. Notification icon should help a bit, but I have it disabled on my device too :)

With icon, android might still restart service under extreme memory pressure from the current foreground application.

There might be some options to prevent this by converting service to system service, but this would require user actions. If I find something I will post it here.
[Android Apps and Games] sprucas:
anybody else confirm this working on galaxy tab 7.7?

I'm keen to upgrade my rom to ICS but I want gesture control to work 100% so my 2 year old can play with my tab.

The status bar must be hidden or else she gets into grief accidentally hitting the notification section

[Android Apps and Games] zhuozhi211:
Devices dialog screenshots as attached.

After a full day of usage, I notice that my phone doesnt go to deep sleep, and hence affect the battery life.

is it because of the incompatible touch event parser? or that it is normal and a side effect of this app?
[Android Apps and Games] primetime34:
Gesture control isn't starting on boot. I think it used to but it isn't now. Is this normal? Running ics on TF101
[Android Apps and Games] dfkt_:
It works perfectly fine on my 7.7 P6810/Noob 2.1, no issues at all.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Updated full version to 2.2.6 in market.

One more attempt to fix this. I think this happens only with Superuser and works fine with SuperSU. Please don't update to SuperSU (if you are really using Superuser) just yet and test this new version. I cannot reproduce it on my devices.

I have P6800 with ICS myself. ICS version has issues like static image wallpaper disappearing. Workaround is to use Live wallpaper, for example Simple image wallpaper from market (you can read more details in first post).

Actually on P6800 with ICS they removed that background movement when swapping to different home screen, so Simple image wallpaper will be completely similar to stock one.

Its not normal and it is not affected by parser override. Are you sure it because of my app? Try installing "Better battery stats" from XDA (beta version is free) and check if my app is the one preventing sleep.

You could also try installing SuperSU if you are using Superuser.

GMD waits on lock if there is no touch events, so impact on battery should be unnoticeable.
[Android Apps and Games] tkess:
Installed this last night, and I couldn't be happier. Multitouch gestures was the feature I was missing from my fruitPad. Now iDont miss a thing.
[Android Apps and Games] zhuozhi211:
I have identified it is the gesture control, by comparing enable vs disable the app.

I have also changed to SuperSU, doesn't help.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
First, it definitely is not supposed to be this way and most devices are sleeping properly.

1) I need to identify what exactly causes it on your device. Please install Better Batter Stat from second post:

Better Battery Stat XDA

After you drained significat part of battery, start battery stats application, click menu -> More -> Dump to File. File will appear in main folder (/sdcard). Email me this file (goodMoodDroid@gmail.com).

2) After that try running service without doing any gestures. Start application, disable all default gestures and just run it for some time, see if still prevents deep sleep. I'm wondering if its main process that causes problem or helper process (that executes actions).
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Updated full version to 2.2.7.

- Added workaround for launchers that do not export HOME receiver properly (ex: iLauncher).

Looks like some launchers forgot to export intent receiver (only iLauncher reported so far) and normal intent for CATEGORY_HOME fails in this case. Added fallback to root approach if normal intent fails.
[Android Apps and Games] zhuozhi211:
I will try that and report. Thanks.

It is probably device specific, or maybe specific to my setup only. Thanks for looking into my case.

- Reordered settings tabs.

- Added 'Pause till screen off' and 'Exit' buttons to 'Default gestures' (first tab).
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Its just part of refactoring process. Now I'm working on free app for status bar hiding that will serve as R&D ground. Nothing fancy, just 2 buttons to hide and show status bar. But if you used Lite just for that, then separate app will be even better. I will publish it when its ready (should be couple of days).
[Android Apps and Games] altimax98:
Fantastic app, but I've got a problem. I downloaded the LITE version and it worked great on my VZW Galaxy Nexus running 4.1.1. So I bought the full version from the Play store and it won't install. It gives me an error that says "could not install on SD card". Other apps install fine and so does the LITE version.

I'm not asking for a refund in the play store nor leaving negative feedback because I figure it's just a small glitch. Could you help me out :-)

You can also email me at my screen name @gmail.com

*I side loaded it off a spare ICS device I had. Installed fine side loaded, but I agree with a comment in the store... Back doesn't work in JB even with Super SU
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Installing must be market glitch. I see you solved it. I can generate and send key for Lite if needed, so let me know if you still have problems updating in the future.

JB is pain cause i don't have it :). Could I send you test version to try? Also does event consumption work? If you try scroll in some app with 3fingers it should not scroll if consumption is enabled (default is on).

Thats good then its just API issue. I will PM you when I have test version.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I admit I was not big fan of Google Gesture Search, but I thought I give it a try. Maybe some ideas come up how to integrate it into GMD. But it just works and the flow seems quite natural. I just bind it to custom gesture - 4 fingers down (can be launch pad too). So 4 fingers down, draw what you're looking for, 4 fingers rightwards to return to previous app. No buttons, just fun of touching :) Anyone else using it?

So the only idea that comes to mind is that same gesture that starts gesture search could close it too. Maybe this even could work for all apps, if you execute action to start application and it is running on top then it is killed instead. Would it be helpful?

[Android Apps and Games] fugato44:
I just purchased this app. However, i cannot find any documentation on the feature called Consume multitouch events. what is this feature exactly and how can I use it?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Its setting in Settings tab. By default it is ON. It means that multitouch events will not reach other applications. By default it starts from 3 touch points (can be changed in settings). For example:

When setting is ON and you try to scroll (in browser or other app) with 3 fingers, it won't scroll. I cannot know if you are trying to do gesture or some other actions, so this setting means that I will lock touch events when my application senses 3 or more touch points.

When setting is OFF, applications will scroll even with 3 or 4 fingers, because applications usually don't check if its multitouch or single touch event. This is inconvenient, because if you try to do some gesture (for example, Back - 3 points downward), you would be interacting with active application too and can scroll or click something unintentionally.

Most of applications do not use multitouch, however you might need multitouch in some cases (for ex, some games). Then you can turn this setting off or just 'Pause gestures'.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:

[Android Apps and Games] stereoactivo:
Hi, I tried the new version and I'm still having problems with some games (unity). In game, if I make a gesture, and go back to it, the game doesn't recognize touch events and become unplayable. I can provide a video showing the problem if you want it.

Also the issue with the browser is still there, when I use a gesture to focus a browser, it reopens the last tab that I opened. It happens in Android's browser and Opera Mobile.

I assume that when the app tries to get focus on the app, it tries to call the last intent that was called and then, reopens the last tab.

I have a galaxy tab 7 plus and whenever i am playing a game and hide the status bar, the touch input becomes offset. How can I fix this ? I also see black bars on the top of the screen when i hide the status bar on GoLauncher.
[Android Apps and Games] Kholargol:
Hi !

Is the disappearing wallpaper problem could be fixed in the future or is it a bug that been identified but can not be solved ?

In anyway, even with this bug, I want to say that app is really useful. I cannot live without it now so I chose to use a full black wallpaper for the moment..
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Browser - I still have to fix it. I will send you link to test version when it is ready. I think I take cached intent in some cases and I will change that. But I cannot reproduce it on my devices, so I need help testing it.

Games - Could you try turning OFF 'Consume Multitouch Event' in Settings tab and see if it helps?

You can try hiding bar before starting game. Still some games assume that bar is there (even if they redraw full screen) and in this case touch is offset. I cannot fix it.

It is known. Standard static image wallpaper run on same process as status bar, so when status bar is killed, wallpaper gets killed too. Live wallpapers don't have this issue. Try 'Simple image wallpaper' from market if you want static wallpaper. It won't disappear.
[Android Apps and Games] Kholargol:
Thank you for this quick reply ! I have read the 1st post before asking but I was not able to know if it was a bug or not and I thought that the use of "simple image wallpaper" was only a temporary solution..

@StupidIdea: you do not honor your name. I love your app so far! I currently use it on the TF700, which is bound to have JB soon. Glad to see you're right on top of the issues that might pose; it's appreciated!

For doubters: SwipePad is very nice, but a) the amount of shortcuts is severely limited, especially for us tableteers, and b) with a tablet or phone in a more or less tight (or bulky) case, it's not that easy to swipe from the edge of the screen. GMD GC solves that by enabling opening the launchpad with a (custom) gesture from anywhere on the screen. :victory:

Very nice work, and I look forward to this greatness which you may even improve upon. Keep it up! :laugh:

Games Continued ...

Ok so I figured out that if i hide my status bar then load the game then all of the touch points are fine. However if i open the game and then hide the staus bar, the screen resizes to compensate but the touch points are off .

Additionally when i hide the status bar on my launcher ( go launcher ) the screen does not resize . There is just a black line where the status bar used to be.

I am using a samsung galaxy tab 7 plus

Oh and additionally I see you released an update .. i dont see it in the market ( play store ) but im assuming it will be up in a few, but i do not see anything addressing these issues in the changelog
