[Android Apps and Games] Jimmy34742:
I'll explain more clearly. I use Force Immersive Mode to put selected apps into immersive mode. That's mainly to hide the status bar; GC's status bar hider also kills the process, which has undesirable side effects, so I don't use it anymore. When you're in immersive mode, you can't pull down the notifications with a GC gesture. That's also what I meant by "open the status bar." The only way to pull down the notifications while in immersive mode is to reach up to the top border with your other hand, swipe down once to show the status bar, then swipe down a second time to pull down the notifications.

Starting at post #184 of that other thread, the Force Immersive Mode dev and I started discussing a workaround. By putting "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" in my build.prop, I create a standard navigation bar, which isn't normally present on the S4 because it would be redundant given the S4's hardware keys. When there's a navigation bar present in immersive mode, then swiping up from the bottom will show the status bar for about three seconds. The dev tells me the swipe up from the bottom is a system function. It's not a GC gesture. Based on this technique, I'm able to achieve the desired functionality: pull down the notifications without leaving immersive mode. But it doesn't work well because in most apps, swiping up from the bottom border is very difficult or impossible.

So I've asked [MENTION=4147454]StupidIdea[/MENTION] if it's possible to create an action that, while in immersive mode, will pull down the notifcations via a GC gesture. That way, a user could access the notifications that are invisible when in immersive mode without ever having to leave immersive mode.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Thanks for explaining. I can't think of any way to expand the (hidden) notification panel without first displaying the status bar, which would then have to be toggled back off with another command.
[Android Apps and Games] Jimmy34742:
If there was a GC gesture to display the status bar from immersive mode, then my regular gesture to expand the notification panel might complete the operation and give me the desired functionality.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I have to test it more but I think I can quit immersive mode before showing notification pannel.
[Android Apps and Games] Jimmy34742:
Will it toggle immersive mode back on once the notification panel is dismissed? Also, please note that I get immersive mode by using the app "Force Immersive Mode," not a system setting. I hope it will be compatible with that app.

gestures per app

It is possible to create gestures per app ?

How can I config GMD in Sony Xpreria Z2 (.402) ????

Sorry for my bad English !!!
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
What do you have in mind?
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Currently reworking LaunchPad. It will have separate setting tab and all shortcuts for LaunchPad will be managed there (add, remove, reorder). It will allow to add shortcuts for all actions that are currently available for custom gestures (home, back, recent, etc, Tasker task, Start app).

If anyone has feature request for LaunchPad it is the right time to ask :)
[Android Apps and Games] andyln3:
Is it possible to make the LaunchPad icons bigger? :)
[Android Apps and Games] metaldood:
When all the rows of launchpad are filled then an empty row comes up which I find of no use. So just like swipepad add option to specify number of rows and columns.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ReSkid:
Will this work on any Multi-Touch enabled phones or only HTC devices? :)
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
It works on most Honeycomb and ICS devices. If it does not work on your device, contact me and I will implement support.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Yesterday finished LaunchPad changes, then decided to integrate launcher shortcuts, so it will be possible to execute other shortcuts too, not just Tasker. Same goes for custom gestures too. That leaded to changing action selection dialogs. In the end created new dialog from scratch.

Basically everything works again, but need to draw icons for custom actions and add configuration option for icon size. Then will be testing, so probably new version will be available only next week.

Also enabling 1 custom gesture for Lite version, so user will be able to bind custom action like menu or recent apps.

Aldo have one idea, to expose bar hiding/showing for Tasker, so it would be possible to create Tasker task that hide bar when some application is started, etc. Anyone find it useful?
[Android Apps and Games] cmat1120:
Edit: for some reason it just started working and it works great now!(you have no idea how happy it makes me to make that annoying bar go away lol) as long as it stays stable for a good while i'm definitely gonna buy it. If not i'll wait till it does and then buy it then. I think this app has huge potential and can't wait to see what happens next with it.

Edit2: I decided to try the paid app to try thr custom gestures, but couldn't get any custom gestures to register at all. I was trying simple stuff like 3 fingers right with no luck. The standard gestures worked fine though. Just the custom ones didn't work. I then refunded, but after going into the lite one I made a custom gesture(3 fingers right) and it recognized it with the toast.(i had those turned off in full version unfortunately so idk if it was doing the same or not) so maybe the actions just weren't working. I tried recent apps list and forward neither was working.

Also....:

I just wanted to make a suggestion. Idk if this would work, but if you wanted to try implementing a app switching gesture.(like alt + tab on PCs) then you might be able to use something from this: on my prime using the dock alt + tab/ alt + shift + tab work just like on a computer. Idk if you could emulate the result of pressing those buttons or just the pressing of those buttons themselves. It does bring up a window showing recent apps when you do it which may be annoying, but may be avoidable idk.

Sorry if this post is a little unclear(I'm almost falling asleep as I type it) and maybe this is all old info to you, but I though I'd say it just in case.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
This is already implemented. You can create Custom Gesture and assign Recent Apps action. In addition you can assign Recent Apps List (same as when you click Recent Apps in bar, works on ICS only), Notification panel (ICS only), Menu, Start any application, Forward (works in stock browser, other browsers might work if they bind Forward key event), any Tasker task, etc.

At the moment Custom Gestures are enabled only in full version, but I will enable Custom Gestures in next Lite version too, just limit number how many custom gestures can be created.

Edit: in some previous version there was a silly bug where on some devices wrong action was executed with custom gesture and it could appear that it is not working. Everything is fixed in latest 1.7.0. Note, that not all custom actions are available in all Android versions. Incompatible actions now are marked and disabled in selection list.
[Android Apps and Games] kupopu:
Nice haha thanks you so much !
[Android Apps and Games] raynerape:
I am using the app on a 4.0.3 ASUS Transformer TF101. It works very good with one annoying problem - I cannot execute a Back command properly. The gesture is properly triggered but aside from a toast notification, it doesn't produce any effect. Is this a known bug? Hopefully it will get fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
No, it should work on all devices. I sent you PM with some questions.
[Android Apps and Games] cmat1120:
Yes, I know that there is the recent apps list what I meant was an instant switch to the next app, like alt + tab(without holding them down) on a pc. or 4(or maybe 3) finger slide to the side on ipad.

As for my problem, I was using the most recent version from the market, and I was using the recent apps action which should work since I'm on ICS. Anyways I'll just wait for that 1 custom gesture on lite I think and then if I get it to work there I'll upgrade.

Lastly I'm not trying to imply that there is anything wrong with your app or that I don't like it or anything like that. For all I know this could all be user error. I think this is probably one of the greatest apps I've ever seen and I hope I can start using it soon.

Edit:

I am also having this problem. Back notification toast comes up but browser does not go back(using normal stock browser) all other default gestures are working.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
No, actually I was wrong. If Back is not working then most of custom actions will not work too (except application start). There was a problem with ICS and Back before, but then after applying a workaround, everyone reported that it is working. However technically there still might be problems with some kernels.

Edit: sent you PM with test version. Please try it.
[Android Apps and Games] TomaHawk93:
Your app does not work on my sony tablet s :'(
[Android Apps and Games] cmat1120:
Tried it, problem still exists.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Sony S support was implemented and reported as working. If you go to Help section does it show detected multitouch device?

Edit: TomaHawk93 confirmed in PM that latest version is working on Sony S.

same back gesture probleme here! even with the busy box activate. I'm on stock ICS.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
What device are you using?

I just got the idea that using SuperSU might solve this problem. Could someone knowing what he is doing :) test, if you replace Superuser with SuperSU

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu

Does this solve "Back" problem? I'm currently using SuperSU on my SGS2 and I don't need any workaround on it, while 10.1 with Superuser needed workaround.

I had to return 10.1 (only borrowed it), so cannot test on it anymore.

when the status bar being hidden... incoming call cant be pick up. the usual phone pick-up page is not appear unless the status bar being unhide...
[Android Apps and Games] Jimmy34742:
I guess he means that the same gesture will trigger different things depending on what app you're in when you execute that gesture. I think per app gestures would be a useful option.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Lol if you are right that is some amazing mind reading :) It sounds interesting if it's doable.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:

Get GMD to activate a Tasker task. Within the Tasker task, check the value of %WIN and adjust accordingly.
[Android Apps and Games] PascalA:
Hi, I tested the Lite version on an HTC Desire "A8181" (i.e. "bravo"), and no gesture is recognized. When I touch the screen, nothing happens.

The OS feature seems ok so far, since ES File Explorer gesture feature works good (long touch on the screen center icon, then gesture drawing).

I could not find a list of supported or unsupported devices for app.

Do you have any idea what's going wrong? Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] thangcuoi:
I remember reading that the HTC Desire does not have true multi touch. The same problem happens on my Telstra HTC Desire as well.
[Android Apps and Games] PascalA:
For HTC devices users having no gesture detection, when recording a custom gesture:

Advanced > Device Setup > Override multitouch device detection ("ON" label visible) > Override touch events parser detection > HC_DEFAULT > Restart service (this tab button, found at the bottom)

Other options are unrelated to this issue and can be modified to your needs.

Had the issue and solved it this way.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Suddenly, changes to my user gestures are not sticking - after rebooting, newly added gestures are gone, deleted gestures reappear, and changed gestures revert. It's happening on my N7 and my 1+1, but not on my Nexus 5. Weird.

My question is if there is any possibility to change the tabs in Chrome on a tablet? I would love to have a gesture to switch between my open tabs or open a new one. Is this somehow possible or does Chrome doesn't support tab actions this way?
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
Not by using GMD alone.

This may be possible through Tasker by using "send intend".

Then you can make a GMD gesture and assign that Tasker shortcut to it.

I've seen there have been plans implementing cut&paste actions. What about it?
[Android Apps and Games] pibach:
Easy copy/paste would make Android so much more productive!

Another issue is in conjunction with keyboard swyping.

Why not having a check box "start gesture outside keyboard"?
[Android Apps and Games] Jimmy34742:
If you mean have "anywhere outside the keyboard" as a starting zone, that sounds like a good idea. Currently, I simulate that for some "anywhere" gestures by having one copy of the gesture disabled with keyboard open and the other copy of the gesture enabled with keyboard open, but with starting zone in the top half, above the keyboard.

I want to switch ON throguh gesture

Is there any thing i can do for SCREEN ON by swiping right.

i remember that i have seen one Video of XDA TV for GMD gesture in which a guy Turns mobile on by Swiping bottom right.

i have seen actions in user gestures but i can find only screen off option...

:cyclops: Please help... Thanks in Advance.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
This isn't possible with GMD. Never was. And that's how it should be, because if gestures were allowed working on lockscreen, you'd have constant unlocks or apps started, while your phone is locked and in your pocket.

HTC kernels have S2W (swipe to wake) or DT2W (double tap to wake) gestures capability called "motion launch gestures", which work to unlock the phone and even start an app directly from lockscreen, but these are allowed to work under the strict control by the proximity sensor, which stops them from working if your phone is in your pocket. Maybe that's what you have seen in the video you mentioned.

I could see all GMD gestures also working on lockscreen under the same conditions and restrictions, but proximity is hard/dodgy to use/control for so many supported devices.
[Android Apps and Games] kiridhruv:
okay

yes,May be its good not to have gestures while screen is OFF. i was thinking for more lazziness :D .. noproblem... will go on for other gestures than..
[Android Apps and Games] bragih:
I have a problem with GMD Gesture Control.. When I enable it my phone would stop being able to scroll anywhere a few minutes after a reboot. When I do the flick/scrolling movement with my finger it instantly selects what I touch first on the screen without realizing that I'm actually swiping or flicking..

When I kill the app or service the problem persists. Only a reboot fixes it for a few minutes after which this bug occurs again.

If gmd is generally deactivated before rebooting it doesn't occur at all.

I have no big xposed modules (only battery icon changed) and an otherwise fresh installation of my rom. Does anybody know a solution?

GMD GestureControl + ZTE device

Hello all

I am just purchased this wonderful application. But i got a troubles with the compatibility with my ZTE Z7 Mini smart-phone (Android 4.4.2 / Stock ZTE's firmware / NUBIA UI / Root access present).

Expand and tap gestures works fine. But i can't get a working swipe gestures :(.

What I've tried to solve this problem with no positive result:

- Disable stock (standard) ZTE's gestures

- Restart GMD Gestures Control service (after the new settings apply)

- Restart smartphone (after the new settings apply)

- Also, I've played with "override multitouch..." options with no result.

What multitouch device ZTE uses???

If there are people who uses ZTE devices, please give me any suggestion how to calibrate GMD GestureControl to get a properly working swipe gestures.

Not working on MI3 with MIUI6

Hi Bro,

I was running GMD GC just fine on MIUI 5 .. i upgraded to MIUI6 Developer rom 4.10.31 Android 4.4.4, since then GMD just works for few seconds and stops working without any error messages. the app manager says that the APP is running but it simply does not work. I m handicapped without GMD. :crying: . Is it supported in 4.4.4 ?

i looked through trouble shooting , toggleed the over-ride "Touch detectoin Parcer events" but no change. Restarting the app does not change anything. Rebooting the phone has the App working again albiet for few seconds and stops.
