The gestures I mentioned above I'm almost always able to perform correctly though it took me a couple minutes practice to get them right. The problem with diagonal gestures is that you to get them at the correct angles(probably 45 degrees). I dont have that problem with the non diagonal gestures. For that reason more than two diagonals in a sequence is difficult. But its not just that. I am able to use a partial rhombus for launchpad (DR-UR-UL) quite easily whereas a W ( D-UR-DR-U) , which I wanted to use for wifi -toggle, I could almost never get correctly.

BTW, for these gestures mentioned above I dont need to use release at end. The perform correctly without that.

I used to have problems with swype and GMD misfiring. I used a pause/unpause two finger L gesture at the bottom border to eliminate that problem.

Any way to hide the navigation (ICS/JB) bar with a gesture. Trying several things and not having luck just yet. If i can figure this out I will purchase full version. (Need to lock device activity for kid)

yep, it's status bar in paid version... bought.. thanks, app perfect for what i needed. Running on nexus 7
[Android Apps and Games] polstein:
Having an issue with custom gestures. When I add one & assign it an action like "home", then I edit another custom gesture - the action is overwitten by "home" even if it was set to something different like "launchpad".

In other words, anytime I edit a custom gesture, I need to basically re-do the action before I save it or it get messed up.

Just me?

-------

Question on the action "pauses/unpauses gestures" - is this to temp. suspend the app from launching actions & resume when ready?

For instance, I'm fighting my Keymonk sliding keyboard. So one idea would be to have a gesture to pause all gestures, then do my typing, then turn gestures back on.

..but if gestures are paused, then I won't be able to turn them back on??

(or am I totally misunderstanding what the pause is for)

If not, can an action toggle be made that says something like "ignore all *other* gestures when I use this until I toggle back on). Kind of a pain, but a possible workaround. Would also be good fom some games, like quickly turn off gestures - play game - then quickly turn back on.

-----

One more bug - I tried to add a custom shortcut to my Launchpad - a Folder Organizer folder link. Link works fine, but the icon is missing, I get just an empty space. Works if you click on it, but no picture.
[Android Apps and Games] clel:
Well, when creating a gesture, you can choose ignore pause.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I can reproduce both bugs, will fix in next update.

Pause action works like a toggle. When creating custom gesture there is option to ignore pause. So if you create Pause gesture that ignores pause, then you can stop it with same gesture.

Also there is a button in Default Gestures tab to Pause/Unpause.

Pause automatically stops if you turn off screen.

If you want to stop gestures for longer period use Exit (action or button in Default Gestures). It will stop application and service, but won't turn off 'service' option in settings, so when you're done you just need to start GMD activity.

THANKS! Works perfectly now :)

Running a transformer prime with ics here. Have been waiting months to be able to hide the system bar, would be great if you could do it.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Most things are covered. Currently implementing custom gestures (almost there, just a few loose ends) and revamping GUI to support smaller screens, cause with ICS it will be usable on phones too.

Current plan:

version1: Custom gestures

version2: +ICS (beta)

I hope to finish both versions during this week.
[Android Apps and Games] pibach:
I run it on Galaxy Tab 7.7 GT-P6800, Android 3.2, works fine. Only the show bar command is not as responsive. Sometimes feedback is given before bar is shown, sometimes after, gives me little irritation. But that's minor. Overall great start. I was allways wondering why google went this nonsense idea wasting screen real estate for a bar when you can have multitouch gestures instead, as iOS already shows.

Ideally, gesture control might replace the bar completely, so that you don't need to switch it on and off frequently. Therefore, gestures for changing apps (cycle through apps), menu, and notification, are most demanding, even more than custom gestures.

Have you had a look at easystroke? That's the best gesture tool I know of, unfortunately no multitouch support yet.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
New version 1.3.0

New in 1.3.0

-Implemented custom gestures (in Lite version it allows to create and test custom gesture, but won't execute assigned action. Only message with gesture name will be displayed).

-Reworked user interface.
[Android Apps and Games] Localhorst86:
I can't wait until this is available for ICS, sounds very nice :)
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
With ICS i'm on the fence what to do next :confused:

Current status -

Works:

* Gestures - works

* Home - works

* Starting other apps - works

* Status bar hiding - see issues bellow

* Back, recent apps, menu - work only on ICS with ICS kernel

Issues:

* Back, recent apps, menu - work only on ICS with ICS kernel. So systems with old kernels (like CM9 on 10.1) will have problems till ICS kernel is available. I might find some other solution, but no guarantee. Simply put, old kernels are not fully compatible with ICS. Its not an issue for stock rooted ICS.

* Status bar - now this is annoying. I can hide it and it is stable, however in ICS home screen background is related to status bar, and if I kill status bar process, home screen background disappears. When I start bar process, background appears again. But there is one more thing. If you start hiding bar too often, background switches to default one.

No problems if live wallpaper is used.

I might or might not be able to solve it. Was working on ICS events protocol lately, so didn't dig too deep into issues.

Question1: Is it safe to release alfa version for XDA with these issues or should I go for closed testing?

Question2: Is there any use in such application if status bar (or should I say home background) issues are not solved?
[Android Apps and Games] deevo2:
For many of us ics tablet users the ability to hide the status bar would far outweigh the wallpaper problem you described.
[Android Apps and Games] Localhorst86:
I agree with deevo2 here. The advantages from hiding the statusbar far outhweight the wallpaper issue.

I think a xda alpha build would be a good idea, we all know what an alpha is and what to do if the tab stops responding :)

I would be carefull enabling it for ICS devices on the marketplace, though. A lot of, for the lack of a better term, "uneducated" users might really be disappointed by the wallpaper issue and give bad ratings, no matter how big a warning or disclaimer you put in the description.
[Android Apps and Games] Psyloid:
Too bad it wont work on ics cm9 ...

Though my tab uses a modified honeycomb kernel with cm9.

So i will give it a go tonight. Fingers crossed :)
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
As I said, on CM9 works gestures in general, bar hiding/restoring, Home gesture, custom gestures and application start. Back gesture does not work till ICS kernel is released.
[Android Apps and Games] Localhorst86:
@StupidIdea:

there's an app available in the marketplace called "simple image wallpaper" which sets an image of your choice as live wallpaper. Maybe this helps with the wallpaper issue?
[Android Apps and Games] clockcycle4mobile:
I think the wallpaper issue can be solved, at least someone solved it because there is a MOD 100% working for Motorola XOOM with ICS 4.0.3 at this address http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1487647 that doesnt have that issue, you could find some inspiration from it :-)

Also a similar MOD its included into the Xoom custom ICS 4.0.3 ROM from EOS Team (this time by pressing the physical Power button and selecting the option) and the wallpaper works well here too http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459641 maybe you can look into the souce code and see :-)

I hope I was helpful and thanks for what you're doing!!
[Android Apps and Games] daveid:
Well, my tablet is running ICS w/ an ICS kernel (CM9) and I run a live wallpaper, so the release would be flawless for me, and I would gladly pay to be able to hide the damn status bar again, I miss Honeybar each time I run an app I want to be full screen...
[Android Apps and Games] pibach:
Gestures would be handy on ICS even if there would be no way to hide the bar.

However hiding that bar would be even more useful.

I am using you gesture control extensively.

Main issues:

a) It is not totally responsive. Somehow it takes 1 second to register a back gesture, for example, before executing it (Galaxy Tab 7.7).

I changed back gestrue to a two finger right flick (instead of down) seems more intuitive for me. And two finger down for recent apps, which is very handy.

b) I end up switching the bar on and off, mostly to check notifications. Some way to show these?

c) Home gesture 4 finger squeeze is rather complex to perform. Could it be a 3 finger squeeze?

great app, keep on going!
[Android Apps and Games] Psyloid:
Same here ...
[Android Apps and Games] Psyloid:
I dont mind about the back gesture, all i care about is hiding the damn status bar

ICS version

Version 1.4.0

- ICS support (alfa)

Known issues:

- "Back" gesture will not work if your ROM is not using ICS kernel.

- Hiding gesture will remove home screen wallpaper.

- Hiding gesture will reset your wallpaper to default.

- Something else bad can happen (adding just in case)

You have been warned! I'm not responsible if it damages your system! Use on your own risk. This is ALFA version!!!

Download link:

ICS version (alfa)

Hint for phone users: go to Default Gestures and uncheck "Start from border".

Let me know what is your system, what is working and what is not.

Is it working for anyone? Thanks.

Update Stopped Gesture Commands

My Asus Prime has no longer responds to gestures after last update.

The gestures are being detected and the toasts flash up but none of the actions happen.

The hide status bar still works if I turn it on and off from inside the app.

UPDATE

OK now, it appears all my custom commands had changed to SEARCH at last update.
[Android Apps and Games] polstein:
Yay, I'm not (quite so) insane!

While you mentioned the keyboard detection would be hard, any thoughts on the "lock to top border, but increase the allowed size to something like 1200" (so I can just customize your app to ignore where the keyboard would be?) Or would that just crash the app all over the place?

Ahh - I didn't even notice the "ignore pauses" box. Yep, making my pause toggle custom action ignore pauses itself fixes the problem. Also interesting that in theory I could set the ignore box for actions I know won't cause conflicts. Now it's just a question of seeing how practical it is to stop pauses/resume them when I use the keyboard.

EDIT: Testing shows either me (or the app) getting a bit confused where the pause toggle is on or off. Possible to change the Toast message to show something like "Pauses off / Pauses on" instead of just the name of the custom action?

I was using the button in Default Gestures for the last hour :) Works, but pita.

Which reminds me, I was asking for a gesture to toggle the pull down for the Notification bar, you mentioned it was already in ICS but I can't find a thing about it. Can you point me to a link or clarify? Either way, an action to toggle the notification bar pulldown build in to your app would be a nice feature!
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I will be fixing these bugs asap, just I won't have pc till Monday.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I pm'ed you but can answer here as well in case someone could not find it too. It is already in application and action is called 'Notification Panel (ICS).

With the latest version of GC I've got a bit of a problem: when my menu bar is hidden, and I execute the recent apps gesture, it unhides the menu bar first and only then shows the recent apps.

This is on a Galaxy Tab 7.7 (CM9/ICS 4.0.4), and my recent apps gesture is two finger swipe right, from the left border. So far it worked just fine, but not with the current version of GC. Any ideas?

(I've flashed my Tab from HC to ICS just recently and restored GC via Titanium Backup. I changed the recent app behavior to ICS, of course. It worked fine, too, until the last GC update. Just FYI.)
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Unfortunately recent apps on ics is part of status bar. I intentionally restore status bar when recent apps are triggered. Otherwise it would not work at all when bar is hidden. There are some custom ROMs (AOKP) that allow to hide bar properly without killing process and would not have this issue, however I think AOKP is still not available for 7.7.

You have to create this custom gesture yourself:

Gesture Name: Home

Gesture Path: P

Touch Points: 5

You can look up about the many other features that Gesture Control offers. I am happy with it, but I can only speak for me...

Hmm, would it be possible to automatically kill the status bar again after an item in the recent apps list has been touched?

[Android Apps and Games] jcsy:
Bought it this morning... lol the pinching of 5 fingers to return to home screen seems a little responsive sometimes... while sometimes not...

Is there a way to make it more receptive

Perhaps reduce amount of touch points required is sit
[Android Apps and Games] lambstone:
You could always DIY. Disable the default, create custom
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
That would be really complicated. Technically I could hide bar again when some app is started, but cannot detect if it was started from recent apps and I fell like it would add event more confusion. I'm working on blacklist/white list instead and it will have pause gestures and hide status bar for start. Development is a bit slower during summer, but new version is in progress and it will include blacklist.

Depending on device it sometimes happen that device does not register some touch points or sends them in mixed order. For example it would sent 5 down events for point 1, then fisst event for point 2, again up event for point 1 (and thats where I mark gesture finished) and only then remaining 4 events for point 2 and up event for point 2. I also can't wait for all points to release, because some devices just send 1 up event for all points.

I fine tune thing when I notice it and have enough data. Could you send me protocol sample (instruction at the end of first post). I would take a look what's going on.

Also try leaving 4 pinch home enabled too, if you don't have other action assigned to it. See if it helps.
[Android Apps and Games] lambstone:
Yeah your implementation of this black/whitelist is actually far more elegant. There are some apps which do not require the bar to be hidden. A global setting wouldn't be that useful.
[Android Apps and Games] dfkt_:
I fixed the problem at the core - replacing default_wallpaper.jpg in framework-res.apk with my own. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] 7drlclk:
How to do that? A step-by-step how to's would be great for an average android user like me :)

Here I post the look from my Galaxy Tab 2 P5100 curently running Stock ROM ICS 4.0.4

Notice the black bar at the bottom? Yep! The wallpaper can't goes fullscreen. I have tried using the Simple Image Wallpaper or even the stock Live Wallpaper.

Any suggestion how to fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] heybelly:
Great app, but how to add custom gesture? Is there a tutorial for it?
[Android Apps and Games] bsoplinger:
Does simple wallpaper do that if you have the bar hidden before you go to use it to display the pic? I've seen games that don't catch the change in screen size if the bar is hidden one the app starts but will use the full screen if you hide the bar before starting the game. Perhaps simple wallpaper is the same way.

New version on XDA

Uploaded development version to XDA:

2.7.0:

- Added application blacklist that pause gestures.

- Added application blacklist that do not appear in prev/next command.

- Added application that hide status bar automatically.

- Added status indication to Pause gestures and Hide status bar notifications.

- Fixed: Pause gestures button in settings not reflecting Pause state when paused inside GMD application.

- Fixed: Editing custom gestures sometimes override action of other gesture.

Still need to finish some things before updating market and test black lists a bit more.

There might be some confusion with blacklists, like when you pause gestures with blacklist and unpause with gesture or turn screen off (and before screen off would restore gestures).

It should work this way, for example with status bar:

* If bar is not hidden when application from blacklist is started, GMD will hide bar.

* If bar was hidden, GMD will do nothing. It does not matter if you restore bar later, GMD will not hide bar it it was hidden on application startup.

* When you quit application GMD will restore bar only if it was hidden automatically by blacklist.

There is short tutorial in Help tab FAQ.

Hi,

Do you intend to let this awesome software,

become such a "activator" in IOS

support more activate function?

really sorry for my bad English.. :(
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Could you explain what other 'activate functions' you have in mind?

As for actions, most things can be done using shortcuts. You can start any activity in combination with QuickShortcutMaker, and I might add this functionality native if more users think it is useful.

As for triggers, what other triggers would be useful. I'm open to suggestions.
[Android Apps and Games] dfkt_:
Sure. As a prerequisite, you need root and debugging enabled on your device and adb installed on your computer. Also, if you mess this up somehow, you might get stuck in a bootloop, so make sure to do a CWM/Nandroid backup, and that you know how to recover your device. That being said, it's pretty straightforward, nothing should go wrong.

Open a commandline and pull the framework from your device:

adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk

Open framework-res.apk with 7zip (or Winrar, or whatever works), and look for all instances of default_wallpaper.jpg in the /res folder hierarchy. On my device, they're in /drawable-nodpi and in /drawable-xlarge-nodpi - yours might be in different folders. Replace those with your own wallpaper.

Push the apk back onto your device. You need root for that:

adb root
adb remount
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework

Give the file proper permissions:

adb shell
chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
exit

Now reboot your device to finish:

adb reboot

That's it. :)
[Android Apps and Games] nereuseng:
I think that long press some buttons such as Search, Menu, Volume Key etc to activate function..

Not just only long press, double tap, even triple tap

Use them to active or toggle some function like bluetooth visible, torch(not every phone has AOKP , such my SGW ), and some shortcuts (i get this idea from Notification Toggle :P)

And even widgets!!

Dont just depend on the other Aps

I am not say bad, but I dont like

Ya i know, that will be few of them been used by other people in daily

But still a choice to them?

And i think that custom gesture on anywhere so nice

Before that i had try some gesture apps

It is so ugly and unfriendly :(

Ya I hope that will be improve in next version

I just stand on consumer and speak some what they(include me :P) think

Just a suggestions to you :)

Anywhere your apps is so cool!! :D

Update XDA version

Updated XDA version again:

- All shortcuts should display icons properly now (you have to recreate old shortcuts without icon tho). Browser shortcuts now contain page icon properly, if browser provided that.

- In some cases S3 and Galaxy Nexus failed to connect to multitouch device driver and needed service restart. That should be fixed now.

Edit: updated again:

- changed Search action to work like Search button instead of just starting Google Search.

- notification icon now displays when gestures are paused.

- fixed: prev/next app changing tab or creating new tab in browser.

Still want to finish some things and test more before moving to market.

Thank you, I will keep that in mind. I don't want to translate just yet, because I'm still developing it a lot and I will be lazy to ask for translations each time. But I will translate it in the future.

great update, good work!

let me add a few suggestions/ideas

remove the black rectangle behind icons on cycle applications (if we can customize in some way, even better)

the quality of icons on launchpad has bad quality (from normal to larger sizes). if i use the apps icons in tasker (for example), hi-res version are used (this makes me think is not an icon related issue)

would be nice if when doing 4 fingers to cycle apps, you can select the immediate app with a short wipe, and select another app with a larger swipe (i'm been too confusing?)

thanks!
