after upgrading to Kitkat stopped working.

Version 7.5.0

In Advanced the "Ovverride touch events parser detenction" cannot be selected/changed.

All gestures are there onscreen display but the action is not performed.

I am on Note3 with SweetRom 7.01

GMD doesn't work anymore on my Nexus 7 with Android 4.4.2 and Franco Kernel after installing latest GMD update! With last version, it worked perfectly, so Android, N7 or kernel are not to blame!

App runs, but Home gesture only works very slowly and laggy, back and Alt-Tab gestures are not working at all!

Please fix asap! Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
App is working perfectly on both my N5 and N7.
[Android Apps and Games] dfkt_:
Works perfectly fine on my Nexus 4/4.4.2 with franco.Kernel.
[Android Apps and Games] hasenbein1966:
Hmmm... Had to restart the device, now it works... Have GMD on all my devices for long, it was never necessary to restart after an update... bit strange but ok...

I had the same problem, did this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49025209#post49025209

Not sure about the parser detection thing.
[Android Apps and Games] claudioita:
I just unistalled and reinstalled. It worked then.

My fine compliments to the developer. I looooove this app. I would not like my note3 without, and I would go back to a smaller screen without. Get payed from Samsung!!!
[Android Apps and Games] doktrjones:
per app gestures

The per app gestures arent implemented yet I know, but is there some workaround in the meantime to achieve this?
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Please give an example of what you'd like to do.
[Android Apps and Games] doktrjones:
For example, only when i'm in Google Now, I want to go back to launcher when swiping left. I'm trying make myself a better Google Experience launcher ;)
[Android Apps and Games] negativman:
Does not work on LG Optimus 4X (p880). Tried different firmware. Nowhere does not work!
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
You can look in the GEL activities for something like "default page".
[Android Apps and Games] doktrjones:
Could u explain further? I don't know what u mean by "looking in the GEL activities". And then what?

I'm not usin GEL, i'm using lightning launcher. I'm trying to recreate the behavior in GEL using Gesture control.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Ah, OK. So you want to create a left-to-right swipe gesture to open Google Now, and a right-to-left swipe gesture to close it?
[Android Apps and Games] doktrjones:
jup u got it
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
I'm unfamiliar with Lightning Launcher, but the following should work. To create the "Open Google Now" gesture is straightforward: Open GMD, go to User Gestures, Record/Path, Select Action, Application, Google.

In order to create a "Close Google Now" gesture, however, requires Tasker, with which you would create a kill-app task that is triggered by your GMD gesture through the use of a shortcut action.
[Android Apps and Games] doktrjones:
Actually killing the google now app isn't necessary for me actually. What I'm looking for is to simply swipe left when in google now to go back to the launcher. Problem is that at the moment you can't limit this swipe gesture to just the google now app. When i'm in the Gmail app for example, and i swipe left, it would take me to the launcher too. So I'm trying to find a workaround to limit this gesture to Google Now only, since there is currently no per app settings in GMD
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Well, then even if you were to find Lightning Launcher's "go to homescreen" command, which is what I was talking about when I mentioned above finding the launcher's relevant "activity", a gesture invoking that command would work on any screen, as you said. That's why I suggested using the kill-app gesture to close Google Now. In other words, either you swipe away Google Now and are left with whatever app was open before it, or, you swipe in any app, including Google Now, and you go directly to the homescreen. That's all I can think of. Maybe someone else knows another way to do it.
[Android Apps and Games] doktrjones:
Thanks for the input, good thinking ;). I've just downloaded tasker, hopefully i can get it working
[Android Apps and Games] hasenbein1966:
PhilipTDs answer was spot on, what's the problem? Make a GMD gesture which executes a Tasker task. In this task, put the following: If foreground app is Google Now, then close it. Very simple and straightforward.
[Android Apps and Games] doktrjones:
yeah you are right, I just couldn't keep up :p. Could you explain how to add "if foreground app is Google Now" to a task? Killing google now doesn't work for some reason, but there is a "go home" function in tasker and this might help.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Tasker: Create Task > Add Action > Plugin > Secure Settings > Package Options > Force Stop App (and, Choose App)
[Android Apps and Games] doktrjones:
Thanks, I used go home + if %win matches Google Search instead.

edit: nope that didn't work, your solution does :)
[Android Apps and Games] kulguy:
It seems GMDGestureControl makes daemonsu overrun.

I have been digging up what causes Android OS battery usage to soar up and battery drain. While doing so, I found sometimes Daemonsu:10216 was at the top of running processes, when I felt my device was hot even if no apps were running.

I asked Chainfire about it, and he answered to me that I should find which app has ID 216. And it was GMDGestureControl..

[MENTION=4147454]StupidIdea[/MENTION]

I love this App but since the last version it stopped working for me as it should. Now all actions are triggered with only one finger. So let's say I defined that the launchpad should open when I swipe from left to right with 3 fingers. Well now it opens up even when I swipe with one finger. The same behaviour with all other actions I defined. I tried to re-install the app but the same behaviour.

Also for some reason the App became very slow for some reason when swiping through the GUI (never experienced this before).

Is there a possibility to go back to a older version of your App?

Btw. I'm using Temasek's CM11 ROM and the Googy Max Kernel on the I9300
[Android Apps and Games] RiseUp:
Have you figured out how to do this? I'd love to be able to programmatically enable and disable gestures, whether it be by shortcut or intent.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Is it on S4? Is this behavior consistent? Does it happen immediately after you reboot the phone and start the app? App does not use much battery/cpu normally. However app is unstable on some of S4 firmwares. What rom/version are you using?
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Was old version working on the same ROM or did you switch roms recently? It sounds like app is using wrong event parser, so could you try changing it Advanced tab and see if it helps. Don't forget to restart service.
[Android Apps and Games] adx_x:
the gesture control v7.5.1 sometimes stop the service on 4.4.2（ParanoidAndroid 4.0 [BETA3]），must reopen the app then the guesures will do。
[Android Apps and Games] kulguy:
The daemonsu problem is quite random. I don't figure out the condition under which it is triggered.

It doesn't happen immediately after booting, but it surely happens while using my device.

My device is Galaxy S4 LTE-A, which is nearly identical to i9506, and the first firmware of JB 4.3(MJ7).

After I reported this, I paused (not uninstalled)GMD for its service not to run.

And it seems Android OS battery drain/two cores running high clocks in idle problem is sorted out.

When I suffered from it, I saw Android OS take up battery usage similar to Screen and its cpu usage time exceed 1 hour.

But now, it is back to normal. Android OS is very close to Android system and Google Play services when it comes to battert usage, and its cpu usage time is around 20-30 minutes.

What I wonder is that GMD worked fine even though I've been used the same firmware without reset.

But I have updated GMD gesture control and SuperSU a couple of times since December, 2013.

Maybe some changes made to GMD or SuperSU from then have the key..?
[Android Apps and Games] Jimmy34742:
Can anyone recommend a gesture control app similar to this one, but for iPhone?
[Android Apps and Games] hasenbein1966:
Ha Ha, good one :D

On iOS, you even are not able to use another keyboard, and you want gestures :D
[Android Apps and Games] Jimmy34742:
Yeah. It's just to mess around because the one thing you can't get with Android is a flagship-level phone that's as small as an iPhone. Maybe that new Xperia Compact that's coming out in a few months. But no way can I give up the functionality of operating my phone entirely with gestures--I don't use any home screen's or launchers, and never open the app drawer. I did find an iPhone app called "Activator" that iPhone users rave about, but it looks like it offers a very limited number of gestures, such as swiping from hi, middle, or low, but no ability to specify a path. I use 50 GMD gestures to do everything on my phone with nothing but my thumb, so the 10 gestures of the iPhone app just doesn't cut it. Since they've gone this far, I'm surprised no one's copied GMD's gesture control for iPhone.

I have to say that Gesture Control is by far my most used and essential app, even if you never see it. It's like a portable OS that standardizes the way I use any phone. If I can't program the identical system of gestures on an iPhone, I won't buy the new toy.
[Android Apps and Games] hasenbein1966:
50 gestures??? xda is really a place for nutheads :D
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Why, is that a lot?
[Android Apps and Games] matejdro:
Is there a way to enable/disable gestures via tasker?
[Android Apps and Games] Colt77:
Well, I have the same problem. SGN2 N7100. Hurricane 8.0 ROM (happened on DittoNote 3 too).

All I know is it started for me when I switched from 4.1.2 ROM to 4.3.

Trying older versions of GMD now from backups, do not have all of them though, and it looks like old ones (6.3.1 for example) won't work on 4.3.

Kinda frustrating cause I got used to a great functionality of the app.

Thing is random, happens usually during deep sleep once in ~24 hrs.

Hope it will be fixed soon, looks like SuperSu has similar problems with some other apps (dunno which side should fix it though).

Funny thing, I discovered GMD thanks to iOS. After using iPad for some time together with Android phone I thought "goddamit, there should be some gesture control app for Android too!".

And there it was, with all the greater customization against few predefined gestures in iOS.

Before I knew it I was trying to find GMD analogue for iOS :D But, alas, nothing was close.

Totally gave up on iOS devices since then, GMD and SwipePad combo makes iOS look like cripple in this area.

And yes, as hasenbein1966 wrote, they don't even allow custom keyboard (which means I can't have swipe keyboard for my native language) and for app of GMD level which requires root even on Android with iOS you'll have to... well, I guess to install Android :D

Hope this rant was not totally off-topic.
[Android Apps and Games] Jimmy34742:
Yeah, not to be too dramatic about it, but I wouldn't even bother with an OS that doesn't allow something close to what GMD does. And I'll waste money on anything just to play around.

I hear this jailbreak app, "Activator," allows much more gesture control on iOS--have you tried it?

More on topic: can you describe how you integrate your use of SwipePad? SwipePad is pretty nice, and it was the last thing I used before I discovered GMD which seems to make SwipePad redundant or useless. Can you say in what kind of context you find SwipePad to be the more fitting tool? I'm always looking for ways to make operating my phone one-handed easier. A two-handed SwipePad operation probably wouldn't inspire me to reinstall it, even though I've paid for all the SwipePad add-ons.
[Android Apps and Games] Colt77:
Nope, I was looking into it more than a year ago and from what I gathered from the net then Activator was not nearly as versatile as GMD so I did not even bother. I could borrow my former iPad from my Mom to test it (the app could be useful to her actually), but it won't happen anytime soon.

Actually I use it mostly for one-hand operations. The key for me is MoreSpace addon, which allows more "portals" as they call them, and allows to arrange the apps I use the most near the borders of the screen, so I can activate'em with one flick of the thumb. GMD is extremely versatile and allows assigning of gesture's starting zones anywhere, so it can replicate SwipePad's functionality to some degree but I discovered that SwipePad still works faster when launching few selected apps. I don't need to 'draw' gesture with my finger, I just move my thumb from a border to a certain position on the screen and an app is launched. So it is not about a gesture's path but about its ending position. SwipePad also made launching apps from the home screen something I perform less and less frequently, and I discovered that I move 'apps of secondary importance' from additional screens to home screen, while I launch most important apps from SwipePad (my two additional screens are basically empty now). I have 5 columns and 6 rows in SwipePad now, with some apps added twice, to the left and to the right sides so I can launch them with any hand.

And I use GMD mostly for two-hand use (though I assigned few useful commands for one-hand as well of course), mostly multifinger gestures, like swipes in different directions to launch some app or perform an action (like two-finger swipe DL-UR launches Gmail for me). I do not play games so GMD does not interfere with anything for me.

In my opinion both apps complement each other instead of competing and make controlling modern huge devices much easier.

So, in short, I use SwipePad to launch apps (with one hand and with both, it works great either way) and GMD mostly to issue commands to the device. Sure, their functionality overlaps in some areas but in my opinion one of them cannot replace another, and yes, I assigned some functions to both apps, and just use the one which is more convenient at any given moment. Works great for me :)

I swear, with all those gesture controls and with the S-Pen it looks sometime like I use sign language to talk to the phone :D

Sorry for many words (and possible mistakes), hope my post still bears a resemblance to a coherent text :D and at least partially stays on topic.
[Android Apps and Games] Jimmy34742:
That's exactly how I was using SwipePad. It does have a very nice feel, but then I went one step further with GMD. For example, I know exactly what you mean about packing SwipePad's pads as densely as possible so that as much stuff as possible lies within the thumb's reach. But the number's still limited. I wish that dev had created options for even denser grids. In any case, The following nine 1-length and 2-length GMD gestures from the thumbside border are as easy or easier than a SwipePad gesture:

U, D-U, D, DR-UL, DR-DL, DU, DR (top), DR (middle), DR (bottom)

Are as many as nine easy swipes possible with SwipePad? And then there are several 3-length gestures that are pretty easy.

I'm not playing the "my way is better than your way" game here. I'm just trying to see if you've got anything I can steal. But I've currently got 50 GMD gestures that are quite reliable for experienced GMD users. And I've got a reserve of 11 easy and 8 somewhat less easy gesures in case I find a use for them. So I currently can't see a need for SwipePad until I have a use for more than 70 gestures--and all 70 are one-handed. How many SwipePad and GMD gestures do you have programmed?
[Android Apps and Games] pagon:
SuperSU - Terminated!?

Why in the logs SuperSU I have very often "Terminated". By this GMD Gesture Control can not download devices ("sec_touchscreen") and does not work.

Please indicate the cause of the error.

[Android Apps and Games] Colt77:
Yeah, I got your idea and I like it. I remember playing with gestures starting from the border, but abandoning it. Can't remember why now, gotta test it again to see what could went wrong for me. Provided I'd still have GMD on my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] Jimmy34742:
The thumb-side border is central to my gesture system. As I recall, that's why I was forced to abandon SwipePad entirely; SwipePad needs to be able to swipe in from the borders, but only the thumb-side is one-handed because the bottom is a little too clumsy and interferes with other things. 25 of my gestures start from the thumb-side border--I only listed the shortest ones. Gestures that don't initiate from the border have a higher chance of accidentally actuating other things by mistake, so I have to devote the border to GMD.

Oh yeah, I think I once tried doing SwipePad and GMD simultaneously from the left border by making the SwipePad hotspot wider. GMD always "sat on top" somehow so that I could open a SwipePad by starting a little farther in from the border. It was actually workable, but required enough precision and focus that it added more anxiety than it relieved. Come to think of it, now that I've become really well trained in the way I use GMD, I sould try that overlapping SwipePad trick again. Still, it sucks to widen the border to the degree that it starts to interfere with some apps. I juse my left thumb, and I think a wider left border is even more obstrusive than the right side, except maybe for right-to-left languages.

EDIT: OK, I just re-tried SwipePad. It does have a very nice feel to it, but can only offer a small number of one-handable portals to actuate. I wonder how you ensure that its hotspots don't clash with GMD's borders? I maxed out the hotspot width, but it was still too difficult to actuate SwipePad reliably. My GMD border width is 69, but I don't necessarily want to make it narrower and risk reliability. I wish SwipePad would allow the user to specify the border size instead of offering such a limited number of choices.

But the dealbreaker is that the SwipePad add-ons I've already paid for wouldn't work because the app keeps reporting a licensing problem. I installed the add-ons fine from the Play Store, but I can't use them because they keep reporting a license problem. Without being able to use the add-on to change the pad size, my thumb can only reach four portals.

I like this app a lot. I bought it and also Auto Hide Soft Keys.

Two feature requests:

- Action to simulate back button long press. AHSK QuickBar doesn't have it either. In Firefox a long press shows the menu of all back pages and there's no other way to trigger this menu.

- Better screen rotation toggle. It toggles lock-portrait/auto-rotate, so there's no way to lock landscape. Either lock-current/auto-rotate or lock-portrait/lock-landscape/auto-rotate would be better.

Also I have the same bug as other people where hiding status bar locks the screen. Stock Nexus 5. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Colt77:
Goddamit. Almost missed an important call because of GMD/daemonsu locking my phone. And I ran out of backups to try. Looks like I have to uninstall the app no matter how useful it is for me.

[Android Apps and Games] radeon_x:
There is no better way than to leave the persistent notification icon enabled. Apart from that, you could try something like the individual app settings module for Xposed, which in theory allows (or attempts anyway) to make any app resistant to memory pressure.
[Android Apps and Games] runhopskipjump:
Would some type of persistent notification it in memory like ohe programs use? I am not a big fan of these but sometimes it is necessary. I already 8 apps constantly in my notification area to keep them alive.

It's possible to have a few custom gestures with 4 directions and a few more with 8?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
New version: 1.7.0

Was a bit bored from parsing protocols and logs, so decided to add a bit of new functionality:

1.7.0:

- Tasker integration for Custom Gestures (integration for LaunchPad will be added in next versions)

- Fix: service sometimes not starting automatically on reboot

I will be adding LauncherPad tab in settings in future versions and after that it will be possible to add Tasker tasks and other actions (from custom gestures) to LaunchPad.

I also read somewhere in comments that it would be nice to have "Close" action. That left me wondering, should it be "switching" to previous activity (without killing) or jus killing current activity? Anyone find this useful?
[Android Apps and Games] thelowend:
No Gingerbread support?
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Not sure If I understand question correctly. 8 or 4 directions is separate option for each custom gesture.

My idea was to have just a few simple gestures, that work fast. Like 3 finger swipe in some direction, 4 finger swipes etc.

4 and 8 directions gesture differ only in how it is tested. If you want to have gesture like swipe from corned, then you create 8 directions gesture, if its just down, left, etc. 4 directions option will be more forgiving when testing.

Only HC and ICS. I don't have GB device so it would be difficult to test it.
[Android Apps and Games] flydev:
i have created a custom gesture using 4 directions, later, created another one with 8.

when i edit the first, it doesn't shows 4 directions like was at the start, instead 8 is displayed.

so, it's looks like the directions setting is global (for all custom gestures) and not "gesture independent"

(hope it is more clear now)
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Thanks, probably bug with dialog initialization. I will fix it in next update. Setting is not global.
[Android Apps and Games] volkax:
Got a little bug report for you:

Hiding bar causes background image to disappear for me (standart image, no live wallpaper) on HP Touchpad CM9 alpha 2 using the lite version.

Occasionally the image comes back after unhiding (maybe i was too impatient the times it didnt).

Looking forward to buy the full version of your great app!
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
This is know issue on ICS, standart wallpaper is running on the same process as status bar, so killing status bar kills wallpaper service too. Currently only solution is to use Live wallpaper. I recommend "Simple Image Wallpaper Free" from market. It allows to set image wallpaper as Live Wallpaper.
[Android Apps and Games] volkax:
Allright thanks.

Sorry for unconstructive post, must have overread that.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I got complain in market:

"Perfect.... in past after the last week update was the recognition of gestures to work 1 time out of 10"

On my devices gestures are more responsive than ever before.

Since there is no way to contact anyone from market comments, I'm wondering, anyone else is having problems with recent updates?
