[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Export/Import will not be in next update, but I want to give some highlight how I'm implementing it:

* Setting export/import will be simple file selections and thats it.

* For gestures I want to support gestures packs. When you import gestures it will appear as a group. It will be possible to easily enable/disable/copy/remove whole group or particular gestures. I'm making this with gestures sharing in mind. Still there are some cases that I haven't decided how to handle, like if imported gesture should open application that is not installed, should I disable it, or leave it and just display toast when executed? I still have to redo all custom gestures view.

For next update I plan:

* Expose all action as shortcuts, so it will be possible to trigger them from Launcher or Tasker and "share" LaunchPad with SPen Control.

* Status bar fix for Galaxy Tab 7.

* Earlier mentioned shortcut support fixes.

Sidenote: published SPen Control to market :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
OK, one comment:

Definitely leave it and display toast when executed.

Example: through titanium backup I'm transferring the GMD data and app from my HTC sense to my HTC aosp device. And I have a gesture for phone and E-mail. These apps in AOSP are different. But the toast remains and one can just remind himself what is going on, go to settings and just change the apps for these gestures.

At least that's what I think.

This is mostly maintenance release to fix things for Android 4.2.
[Android Apps and Games] gr8hairy1:
Thank you thank you thank you (for making it 4.2 compatible)! I didn't realize how different it is to use my tablet without a gesture to kill current app. Such a long process to do it manually. You're the best!
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:

This app is such a life saver. Use my Nexus 7 in the car and this makes things so much easier. Any update on the Volume/Brightness custom gesture? Once I can adjust the volume with a gesture my setup will be complete!
[Android Apps and Games] MyronJ906:
In case anyone was feeling frustrated like myself being unable to get this working on a Nexus 4 (I'll admit I've only read the last 2 pages)

By default the app uses HC defaults parser (at least on my N4 it did) this prevented me from even using my back soft key. It also prevented gestures from working.

Changing it to ICS_Default and restarting the service made everything work wonderfully. Glad to have my favorite app back :D
[Android Apps and Games] vingar:
Wonderful app.

Thanks stupididea!

i have a problem with Fix shortcut.

I have created Three shortcuts contacts whatsapp In the Launcher center.

when i choose for first time a contacts, the gesture work fine,

but if immediately after try to choose the second contact, gesture opens WhatsApp with the previous contact.

swipepad not have this problem, please fix It.

sorry for My English!

Thanks you, I hope you understand

Please open Help tab and click Email Developer -> Good overriden settings. I will update device detection.

Thanks, looking at it.

Current order of tasks

1) Expose all actions as shortcuts

2) Settings Import/Export

3) Rotation, volume, brightness

I'm still working on task 1 :o
[Android Apps and Games] polstein:
So many tasks, so little time!

Just a reminder, please add to the list:

- ability to fire an action by long-pressing the search button

- combo launchpad (apps & recent items)
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
1) If I expose actions at least it will be possible to bind long-press search to Tasker and trigger any action. While it is easy to add, I'm not sure where I should stick it in settings :o

2) This is in the list together with clock and battery info and as it is kind of small task, it is probably somewhere in the middle of that earlier list.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
I don't know if I'm right on this, but still I will mention it:

when you get on with the buttons, then why only for long press search?... May be the others too. Is it possible?

And why only the long press? I will make custom actions even for the short press.

This could be nice.:)
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
New version 5.1.2

Small update in Play Store and XDA:

- Added Nexus 4 support.

- Updated Nexus 10 calibration.

Thought this might interest the people in this thread. They've developed a screen that can sense the difference between a finger tip, pad, nail, knuckle..etc. Check the video.

Imagine the possibilities with GMD!!!
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
Awesome:)

Though this works based on acoustic sensor, which is a bit strange. Would it work when in a noisy environment?

But really looks amazing :)
[Android Apps and Games] vingar:
Stupididea if you can create other launcher es: launcher right1, right launcher 2 with different gesture, i can delete the app drawer!

Its would be great!

[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I wanted to add this but I'm still thinking how to do it without creating a mess in settings. I think about removing application list from settings and add option to resort items in LaunchPad (or just make sorting activity accessible from LaunchPad). So it will be added in the future.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
I also have an option to propose:

Ability to remove an app from recent apps launchpad. By long press on the icon may be, and confirmed by a short vibraton.

This is available in stock recent apps dialogs and I think it would be useful.

Awesome things comes from small but very good ideas.

I just purchased your app and was wondering if there was a way to setup separate gestures for volume up and down? I see that I can get volume as a choice but would like separate controls for my car install on my nexus 7. I might be missing something.
[Android Apps and Games] chaosking121:
Shouldn't you be able to just set those gestures to open the selected launchers as apps?

I have a small problem with dolphin browser. I set up a single touch gesture for tasks from left edge to right. Is the same gesture for bookmarks. The same problem i have for add on gesture of dolphin because is the same gesture with my back gesture ... It would be nice to have an option for pausing a single gesture for a single app...
[Android Apps and Games] threethirteeneleven:
Why not set a simple gesture to pause gmd easily so you can switch on and off? A hold gesture in the same spot would be nice and simple. For me, my left edge gestures all start from the same spot (say bottom 1/3 of screen) so if i pull the bookmarks out in dolphin i swipe from the top half where there are no gestures.
[Android Apps and Games] nereuseng:
I agree with you. It is more convenient so that you no need to keep switching gesture on and off. It is annoying to me sometimes.
[Android Apps and Games] cherrytree:
Really love your app. But having a problem on my Ainol Novo Elf 2. It seem that the "gesture screen" is rotated. So my back gesture for example is not from top to bottom, its from right to left. And so every gesture is rotated one screenside to the right. Anyway to fix this?

[Android Apps and Games] Satch09:
I like to know if if gesture has been fired using the hepatic feedback but would it maybe be possible to have the vibration time user definable or better yet, allow a custom vibration pattern! Just a small suggestion.
[Android Apps and Games] threethirteeneleven:
I'm not sure where you guys are having a problem.i use dolphin and chrome and don't have your problem.i never have to turn gestures off, and i use over 60 all the time without any interference. You know the target zones can be set to top mid and bottom third of the screen right? And you can also set the touch consumption for each zone so only your gesture works in its spot and only dolphin works in its spot.
[Android Apps and Games] ichbinich:
Is there a way to buy this app not in play store?

Edit: 1. Read, 2. Post and not the other way :)
[Android Apps and Games] blueeagle69:
There definitely seems to be some performance issues when the bottom bar is hidden on the Nexus 7 running 4.2.

Zen Pinball chugs when the bar is hidden. Netflix does the same. Show the bar and performance increases.
[Android Apps and Games] ungureanuc:
Yes, ask the dev forPayPal.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I like it, I will add it when tweaking LaunchPad. Should this kill running application too?

This is in my plans, but still not started :(.

I agree this is need and it will be added to custom gestures. You will be able to select application where this gesture works or check option that would mean that gesture does not work only in this application.

Do you mean vibration strength or really some vibration pattern oO?

Thanks, I will investigate it.

Please notify me if I forgot to answer some question.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
Yes, kill it too. :)

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------

May be also you can add a small text under (or above) all icons in recent apps launchpad which shows the free memory.

This will also look like a decent task manager. Helpful for everybody when killing and/or switching between apps. Will be a nice apps managing tool. What do you think?
[Android Apps and Games] nereuseng:
I set 3-point multitouch as home key, kill app. It always kill my phone app when someone call me. My face detect as a gesture. I know there is a function call blacklist, but still no convenient enough to some internet calling app like viber and tango when I need multitasking.
[Android Apps and Games] Satch09:
I mean both, a custom pattern with custom strength :)
[Android Apps and Games] thezhar:
You could add somehow the knuckle touch as FingerSense of Qeexo.com?
[Android Apps and Games] Satch09:
Would it be possible to toggle have certain gestures enabled/ disabled while certain apps are running in the foreground?

Like gesture A works in app A but not in app B. Or gesture A and B are paused when app C is running.

Sorry if I'm clogging the thread but I really love this app! Since the new Siyah kernel has slide to wake, in conjunction with this app I use NO hardware buttons! It's freakin AWESOME!
[Android Apps and Games] blueeagle69:
Cheers.

With Netflix in particular, the video seems to briefly pause for a split second every few minutes.

With the nav bar switched on again there's no problem.

Tested it with Bards Tale also. Didn't notice any performance issues with that. Although with this game high system demand isn't constant.

I would recommend hiding the bar before launching the game though. If you hide the bar while at the opening screen, the touch zones do not line up:)
[Android Apps and Games] spinedoc:
Just paid the 5 beans for this program, it's freakin awesome. Is it possible to ONLY hide the bottom navigation bar, but keep the top status bar? Sometimes it's nice to go full screen but still be able to see battery life, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Probably I just settle with setting to adjust strength :o

Cool. Maybe I add it in the future. So far too few devices report touch "context" info like pressure and touch size.

Its in my task list, but I have no eta.

I will review status bar hiding. Maybe there sis something new in 4.2 or I find some new method to hide it, but at the moment I cannot tell if I will be able to improve it or not.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Not with my application, but you can take a look at this method:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1985592
[Android Apps and Games] spinedoc:
Thanks, I'll take a look at it. I hope you reconsider though, I would think a lot of people would want to hide the navigation bars, but not lose the valuable information the status bar conveys.

Did I already tell you your program is awesome?!?

I am getting some weird lag/slowdown though, it seems it is mainly when I'm fullscreen and it's been running for a while, similar to a memory leak and it goes away for a while if I reboot. Yours is the only program that is different on my Nexus 7. Also you lose the ability to swipe down the quick menus from the top in fullscreen, I'm not sure if that was intended, that may be a reason to keep the status bar in full screen.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
It can be related to status bar hiding. When I kill status bar process, Android is trying to restore it, dumps error log, etc. Its not ideal but if i find better solution I will update implementation.
[Android Apps and Games] S.Phrenic:
My goodness, this topic has grown, anyway:

I haven't installed this app yet because i'm waiting for the JB update before i root my device, but i have a question about rotating the screen.

Will it be possible to rotate the screen clockwise or counterclockwise with a gesture? I personally don't like the autorotate function as my device is often laying on a table, so it doesn't detect how i'm using it. Being able to set the screen with a gesture would be amazing.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
As a matter of fact my good friend, developer of TouchScreenTune joined me in developing some apps. Lately we were working on new app: GMD Smart Rotate and it should be ready in a few days:

Features:

* No root required

* Smart rotation using front facing camera (optional) - phone will detect you face position regarding phone rotation and will decide if rotation is needed or not.

* Portrait, landscape modes

* Force rotation option - even applications that do not support rotation are force rotated. Can be used with all modes: smart rotate, landscape, portrait.

* Per app settings - set rotation mode for each application (Pro version).

* Click standard rotation button in status bar toggles to open rotation modes dialog.

* Bonus feature - Smart stay - keep screen on while camera detects you face (Pro version).

All functionality will be exposed as shortcuts, so it can be used from GMD GestureControl (or Tasker or any other app). Rotation clockwise and anti clockwise will be available too.

Everything is implemented and we are in final testing phase :fingers-crossed:

Note, that with standard Android API you can only lock rotation in one portrait position, so its not just simply setting some flag. If you only need to turn default Android rotation on/off, I posted solution earlier in this thread.
[Android Apps and Games] S.Phrenic:
That would be amazing.

I'd just like to say, you make the best apps. I enjoy me device because of it's ease of use. You've made it so much more enjoyable.

I thank you.

this does not work on JB stock lockscreen... anybody facing the same issue?
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
It is not supposed to work on lock screen.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I'd like to make a suggestion about this suggestion ;) Maybe a swipe-up or down removes from the list, and a long-press kills the app and removes it? I'd say a Swipe Up Remove, Swipe Down Kill (and remove) could work, but I'd never remember which is which ;)
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
If you remove something from the recent apps, than it means you're not going to need to use it any time soon. Than why not kill it as well?

For the swiping I agree. I like swiping way more than long press. :thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I have to check if its possible, but I will try to close application instead of killing. I.e. I want to close activities if they are running but leave services. Kill action on the other hand kills everything in that process including services.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
What if it's an app you don't want to try to kill, like an app that runs all of the time but you don't necessarily want to see it..

Example.. System Panel (system monitor app).. it runs all of the time, but I don't necessarily want to see it in my recent apps, there's a notification I usually hit to launch the UI... etc..

I'm sure the dev will make a solid choice on the implementation, he seems to know what's going on ;) I just discovered this app from some reference today and I'm impressed, it's very slick.

Ha, see. I missed his reply before I posted ;)
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
Yeah, you are right. I agree. :thumbup:

1. How i can backup settings gesture control?

2. How i can add to gesture NOT app, but app "shortcut app with parameters" such as "orientation control switch"
[Android Apps and Games] Mirkokkk:
Can you add a feature that allows to add custom gesture with finger like "GMD s-pen control"? Could be nice to call my girlfriend drawing a heart on the screen!

: )

Inviato dal mio Galaxy Nexus con Tapatalk 2
[Android Apps and Games] blueeagle69:
Is it me, or are the custom gestures for down left for example, backwards?

For a Down Left gesture you have to swipe down right.

Also the previous/next application gesture should I think be the other way around?

Although the latter could be achieved with a custom gesture of course :)
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
:)

Strange.

This works correctly on my GMD...
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
1) This is under development. You have to use backup applications for now, like Titanium Backup.

2) You can add shortcuts, but if you need to make specific shortcut with custom parameters then you can use some shortcut making tool or Tasker. As for rotation, don't forget to check out my new app that I plan to publish this weekend :o

I will in future versions.

Some devices have this "problem" and I was adding rotation offset in code for some devices. Problem is that touch screen in these devices is rotated and while Rom has mapping for this, there is no way to detect it. I knew like 3 devices so far that have this.

Is this happening on your Nexus 7? Then this is new for me. Is it something that started happening with last update or was it always like this?

I will expose rotation offset setting in Advanced tab with next update so it will be possible to fix this manually. All code for this is implemented just setting was not exposed UI.
[Android Apps and Games] spinedoc:
It's not an issue as far as I know on my Nexus 7. Although full screen definitely has quite a bit of lag on my device, I'm going to try downloading HideBar and only using GMD for gestures.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Let me know if it works better and if it is possible to create a shortcut to toggle bar. Then I can add option for status bar to use external shortcut and you can benefit from Blacklist and status bar options like restore on screen off, etc.

Hiding the NavBar

In the latest CM build is a feture called extended desktop

it hides the navbar but you can still show the recent apps and notification without it coming back

Hopefully it can give a new method for hiding the navbar

And I can't wait for the new app :)
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
1) Do you mean I should support CM, so on CM this method is triggered?

2) Rotate app is mostly done. I'm just testing it for daily usage and fine tuning settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Satch09:
I've noticed that 4 and 5 finger hold (only hold) gestures don't trigger as efficiently as the others, I have to try the gestures twice before they fire.

[Android Apps and Games] ungureanuc:
On my galaxy tab p7500 it works as it should do. I have a 5 finger hold for kill app and its ok.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
S3 has high screen density and even when you "hold" device is reporting "movement" because pressure point changes. I have set movement threshold for hold, but I will check if I need to tune it a bit for S3. I'll do it when I find some S3 to test.
[Android Apps and Games] PuntoAndroid:
same here it works
[Android Apps and Games] DHM47:
Adding support for CM Roms would be very nice

But what I meant was that there source code might help you find a better method for hiding the navbar instead of killung the UI

I'm not a developer so I'm not sure but hopefully it will help

Good luck :good:

Documentation

The thing I find frustrating about so many Android apps is the lack of documentation. I'm sure a little effort here would stop a lot of email questions.

I hope the dev will consider this at some stage.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
What needs documenting in this app? Each configuration area is pretty well self-documented.
[Android Apps and Games] ungureanuc:
:laugh: :good:
[Android Apps and Games] louiscar:
Initially I couldn't find out how to change the bottom launch bar's content - This appears to be recent apps only which is fair enough but I had to be told that.

You can configure the left / right / top launchpad but I've yet to find out how to get those to appear. (perhaps it's not available in the lite version or can only be invoked by a custom guesture but it would be good to know that.)

When testing the custom configuration there's a contradiction in that when I set one up and try to execute it I am told "the lite version doesn't support it buy the pro". When trying to set up a second one I am told "only one custom configuration is allowed in the lite version, you can set up more but only the first one will execute". Contradiction being, no the first one will NOT execute because that is also disabled in the lite version.

What exactly are the differences between lite and paid.

Besides what is WRONG with documentation? Why is it that few Android apps come with it when you'd expect any PC / MAC software to and would probably scream if it didn't. My opinion entirely of course but it also make sense to avoid a lot of questions that would otherwise be answered.

I stand by my email offer to the dev, I'd be happy to write something up if it helps ... once I know enough about it myself.
