[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Flashed Android N with SuperSU 2.70 beta on my Nexus 6P today. Current version of Gesture Control does not work (will not detect root).

Development version detects gestures and can execute non root actions but I still need to fix communication to root worker process.

The app requires root to detect gestures the way it does. While its possible to get touch input using border overlays its a different experience.

The software does not degrade over time. If it works it works. I am supporting the app and I'm releasing updates for each new Android version.

This was a mistake in required features when adding flashlight action. You can still install the app and it will work if you have an apk. Otherwise I will fix it with next update.

For now you can copy files from-to /data/data/com.goodmooddroid.gesturecontrol/shared_prefs

gestures.xml - gestures :)

folders.xml - launchpad content

GestureControl.xml - settings
[Android Apps and Games] vitoski:
Don't get me wrong I did not say your app getting worst and worst. I use it every day and love it. Just thought you are not maintaining it any more as no new features (user suggestions) are added to the app.

Having said that there was a great feature request posted quite recently (faster processing of gesture so the touch is not sent to the foreground app) left without any comments from your side.

Again Id like to emphasize that your app works great on my device. Just that simple feature will make the app a lot better in my opinion.

[MENTION=1606575]vitoski[/MENTION] +1 on the faster processing request. While GMD GestureControl is my main gestures app at the moment, All in one Gestures processes gestures faster from my experience.

Here's a specific example:

Starting location: left center 1/3

Gesture: swipe right

Action: screenshot

Evaluate on release: disabled

Show toast: disabled

Consume touch events: enabled

I'm currently using Nova Launcher. When I execute this gesture with All in one Gestures, my home screen page never moves and the screenshot is taken. Whereas with GMD GestureControl, the home screen page begins swiping to the right but immediately snaps back when the screenshot action is triggered.
[Android Apps and Games] vitoski:
Confirmed. Tried All in one Gestures for a second and indeed gesture recognition is way faster - no more accidental swiping in the file Explorer while executing 'Back' command.

StupidIdea would you be able to improve this in GMD?

Very handy for me. Thanks.

Can't install purchased app on my z3 tablet compact after switching to cm12.1. Please fix as I can't even get the testing version from Google play. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] clouds5:
So I got a new phone the Huawei P9. It uses Android Marshmellow 6.0

Gesture Control works fine. But the service does not seem to stick around. When I had the phone locked for a while and unlock it I first have to open up the Gesture Control App or the gestures won't be recognized. I have the notification set to default priority.

Any ideas on how to make the service stick so the gestures are always available? Make it a system app?

[e] making it a system app kinda helped but not really, after like 5min in standby the service is completely gone...
[Android Apps and Games] thoiloidainhan:
U should check to see if there's any process killing app in the ROM, Chinese ROMs tend to do that. Otherwise try to capture a log while replicating the bug and report to the dev.

I had this same issue with miui, tried everything without success until I fed up with the ROM and moved on to something else
[Android Apps and Games] peterxmac:
[MENTION=4147454]StupidIdea[/MENTION] is this something we can expect in a future release?
[Android Apps and Games] clouds5:
Got it, the culprit was a thing called "power genie".
[Android Apps and Games] thoiloidainhan:
Excellent. Glad u got it figured out. Wish it was that easy for me lol
[Android Apps and Games] ibCurlyFry:
I am having the issue where the app isn't checking for root on the most recent marshmallow version for nexus 5x (MTC19T 6.0.1_r25) as well as the android N preview version.
[Android Apps and Games] muzzy996:
I understand the request to try to improve responsiveness and agree.

Just want to add though that I've found it best to select gestures that aren't going to interfere with applications in the first place. I use single finger swipes from left/right edge too but I would never use a simple swipe left/right gesture to initiate anything. Instead I record my own paths and do them at upward/downward angles so that they don't interfere with straight swipes. I even create more complicated movements that are initiated from edges to improve one handed phone use such as curves, loops etc. Very handy.
[Android Apps and Games] bark1234:
How do you fix it ? I have another huawei tablet/phone X2 on EMUI 4.0. looking for solution since long.

I face the exact same problem as u with gesture control.
[Android Apps and Games] clouds5:
Here's what I did (on a P9 with EMUI 4.1 Android 6):

-Make Gesture Control a system app (move the apk to system/app with a root explorer) or use an app like Titanium Backup to move it there.

-Disable or delete (not recommended) the system process called "Power Genie" I assume this is a service that kills background processes - assumption only though. You can do that with Titanium or a similar backup tool.

(At first I completely disabled the Huawei Phone Manager but now I got it back, unfrozen, and Gesture Control still works flawlessly. But maybe it helps too, try to block it if you run into problems)
[Android Apps and Games] chaosking121:
Just some thoughts..

How about when the gestures are paused, a notification is started that will re-enable gestures upon tap. The default notification could work for those that have that enabled, but this method will have to bypass that option or at least allow a separate toggle, I think that would be nice to have. :)

+1 to this; a blacklist would be great.

Also, I'd like to request that (if possible) that an action is added to switch between running apps. Yes, I know it's an exact copy of the iPad's gesture, but I really like this feature and would love to have it if its possible. :D

Bug (?): On ICS 4.0.3 (AOSP) on the Acer Iconia A500 the status bar seems to hide and show for itself even I'm not triggering the gesture (to the best of my knowledge. I'm using the Busybox setting as I'm using a custom ROM. I don't expect you to bother with a particular build on a particular device, but informing you couldn't hurt.

Finally, I'd really like to say thanks to the dev for making such an AWESOME app. It's really just amazing and even better, you keep adding new features and fixing bugs. I didn't hesitate to buy this app when I confirmed it worked on my tablet. Kudos to you and keep up the great work! :)
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
If anyone is still experiencing Back not working, I prepared test version with different key input implementation. Let me know if it works with this version:

Test version with Back fix

I will see what I can do.

Can't promise anything regarding ICS bar hiding. It might not work on some ROMS.
[Android Apps and Games] perpe:
Since the last update executing of shortcuts and with this tasker task didn't work for me on ICS and the pro version. Is this problem known?
[Android Apps and Games] chaosking121:
Thanks for the quick reply! Although I think you can use tasker to do this, would it be possible to add gestures to control music playback? Haven't tried it will tasker yet, I will later today though, since there's a trial available.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I just tried it and it works on all my devices. I even did fresh reinstall. Make sure your Tasker service is running. TaskCut (Tasker shortcut) won't work if Tasker is not running.

(Sorry it was not clear, do other shortcuts, for example bookmark, work for you and only Tasker is not working?)

Do you mean controlling while music player is not focused? I guess most of music listeners don't use stock player. Probably PowerAmp is most popular, but anyway that would require supporting multiple applications. I will check if there is some common actions. On the other and any application can integrate into GestureControl simply by exposing launcher shortcut for some action. So just ask you favorite app developer to do this.
[Android Apps and Games] perpe:
Tasker is running, but also other shortcuts don't work, but I will try it with a fresh install.

Edit: Also Toggling the Statusbar with the ddefault gesture doesn't work, assigning it to a custom gesture works.
[Android Apps and Games] clel:
I think it would be helpful, if you would mention the device on which you are experiencing the error.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
If it won't help, let me know what device and what ROM are you using.

Anyone else tried shortcuts?
[Android Apps and Games] perpe:
Reinstalling and rebooting solved toggling the notificationbar, but not the problem with shortcuts. My device is HP TouchPad with ICS 4.0.4 CM9.

Edit: I'm getting the notfication that the gesture is executed, but it doesn't execute the shortcut action assigned to the gesture
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Ok, but you can create shortcut, select Tasker task or bookmark, just executing it does nothing? I will try some things and prepare test version for you tomorrow.
[Android Apps and Games] perpe:
Exactly. I can do everything, only the executing of the shortcut action isn't working. Other actions are working, the default ones and also starting apps.

Before you switched to the shourtcuts, tasker tasks worked.

This would be very nice. Many thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] chaosking121:
Actually, just tried both tasker and other shortcuts (i got tasker to control music playback :D) and neither of them launch with custom gestures. Same as perpe, all other custom gestures work great, the default ones work also. I'll try adding them to the launchpad and see if that helps, will update if it does. Never tried tasker on any previous version so I can't confirm that the latest update broke it.

Also, I mentioned before that the taskbar randomly hides even though i didn't trigger the gesture. Only started happening when I enabled Busybox for status bar hiding as it didn't work before that. Not a critical feature but nice to have sometimes and it may be critical to others.

Device: Acer Iconia Tab A500

ROM: Tegraowner's ICS v144, built from AOSP 4.0.3

Kernel: Custom kernel included with ROM
[Android Apps and Games] perpe:
Assigning and executing shortcuts from the launchpad are working for me.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Thanks a lot, fixed it. Building new version now.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Does it random hides, or only random appears when hidden?
[Android Apps and Games] chaosking121:
Randomly hides most of the time. But sometimes it will randomly hide, then unhide on its own before i even notice or can unhide it myself. Other times it stays hidden until i unhide it.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Do you have gesture notifications on? Does it show notification before hiding?

Can it be that you execute gesture accidentally? (Maybe for some reason 1 touch point sometimes trigger it or something)

Btw:

New version 1.8.2 in the market and XDA

1.8.2:

- Fixed Shortcuts in custom gestures.

- Improved Back execution speed.

Changed Back implementation. Let me know if someone experiences problems.

Thanks to perpe and chaosking121 for helping to debug it.
[Android Apps and Games] chaosking121:
I suspect it could be that I am triggering it somehow, but I've never seen a notification saying it was executed (I do have them on). Also, I've set it to multitouch instead of single touch and its unlikely that i swipe up with two fingers in multiple apps (happened in splashtop thd, reader hd and possibly others i cant remember). Although the one with splashtop thd makes me think that one was my doing as i probably triggered it by scrolling with two fingers.
[Android Apps and Games] perpe:
Yeah...now with the update, it's working. Many thanks for your fast support. Having my tasker task working agein is very important for me, it makes the usability of a tablet so much better.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Do you think having option to execute gesture only on touch up (releasing screen) would be helpful? This would allow to have more complex gestures, like drawing some letter, etc. In that case I would test full path for match. But it would be global setting. Anyone miss complex gestures and would use this option?

Note, that even simple gestures (swipes) would be triggered only on touch up (if option is turned on).
[Android Apps and Games] bark1234:
i tried disabling power gene but it does not seems to work for me.

On the other hand dont you think disabling power genie will affect power saving ? like it wont kill unnecessary apps too. did you see difference battery consumptions ?
[Android Apps and Games] justreleaser:
Idea is good as well as implementation:)
[Android Apps and Games] clouds5:
Honestly pretty much zero difference. Imho android is good enough at power saving on its own. Can you Describe exactly what your issue is with gesture control? And have you tried disabling phone manager?
[Android Apps and Games] bark1234:
I have the exact same problem as you mentioned. After some time maybe 3-4 mins gesture control actions will stop responding, even though i can notice gesture control in notification panel. I have to open gesture control once to activate it again.

No haven't yet tried disabling phone manager, will try today.

Actually as a workaround, i have used takser to "open gesture control everytime screen turns on. wait 1 sec and press back" This works for me infact i use one of the gestures to unlock screen and it works too.

[Android Apps and Games] janenglund:
I am having the same problem. In Android 5.1.1 GMD Gestures worked fine, but with Android 6.0 the app stops working as many of you wrote.

I also changed the app to a system app, does not help.

E-Robot for example does not behave like this. It keeps running and won't stop working.

Hopefully this would be fixed. And I am also using Huawei device, Honor 6. I wonder is this an Android 6 issue or has it something to do with Huawei devices?

EDIT: Strangely the GMD Gestures process and it's background service are still in the memory. They just stopped responding. I tried to shutdown Android's power management process, but the problem persists. =(
[Android Apps and Games] clouds5:
For me the solution was to freeze a system process called "power genie". But I haven't touched it since (don't change a working system), so I did not do extensive testing etc. But I'm like 80-90% sure it was power genie.
[Android Apps and Games] janenglund:
I am using Honor 6 with Android 6. I did not have the "power genie" running, I tried to shut down only process that in my opinion had anything to do with power management called "BgPowerManagementService" but it did not solve the problem.

I am experiencing issues with GMD Gesture control not activating gestures while a keyboard is on the screen (since about version: 7.5.1).

[Android Apps and Games] ruvort:
Did you ever resolve this? I've been having the same issue, but with the keyboard in general.
[Android Apps and Games] vitoski:
Go back to your gesture. Tick the option to 'Active on keyboard' and save it (remember to save gesture).

Then go back and repeat the procedure, but this time uncheck the option and save.

That should help. If not repeat the process again.
[Android Apps and Games] ruvort:
They are enabled on my gestures and sadly after going through this suggested process they still do not activate while a keyboard is on screen.

Update: So far converting them to the defined paths instead of recorded paths is working, but this means that there definitely is a bug with the drawn/recorded paths.﻿
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
I have a future request:

Can we have a gesture length set up for each gesture separately.

This setting could say

Use default

or

Use custom length for this gesture

I usually use very short length for all my gestures

but in some areas/zones, I need a certain gesture to have a larger length

Please consider

[MENTION=4147454]StupidIdea[/MENTION]

Looks like it's not currently working w/ Android N Preview 4.

It prompts for root access, and after granting root, GMD will not get past the "Checking for root" dialog box. It will just spin infinitely, leaving no access to the actual app.

Do you plan to update for N?
[Android Apps and Games] coolsid8:
I think this app modifies the system. You are probably using the systemless root. Use the modified boot.img and try again if it works.
[Android Apps and Games] 530farm:
I'm just using the standard supeSU 2.7.4. Don't believe it's systemless, pretty sure it modifys the boot.img. Have you got it to work on the android N preview? It looks like [MENTION=4147454]StupidIdea[/MENTION] did confirm this issue on his last post from a couple months ago on one of the early N previews, but seems to have been inactive since.
[Android Apps and Games] coolsid8:
Umm. I am using the system less root only. Try any other app which try modifying system like Faster GPS. Super su 2.74 is systemless on N preview.

Because android stock don't use much multitouch

It's running on my Nexus 6p on Android 6. It should also work on the pixel c. Also, of course does stock Android have multitouch?

[Android Apps and Games] Valiante:
Is there a way to "hide status bar" but still use the "open notification panel" gesture to open the notification panel? I've tried using "expanded desktop" but the gesture doesn't work in that mode.

I'm thinking something along the lines of how Nova Launcher does it.
[Android Apps and Games] Avalun:
I use it on my Pixel C without issues. Why should stock android not use multitouch?

Not working on OPT with CM13

Hi,

I'm using a OnePlus Two with Cyanogenmod 13 (Android 6.0.1).

CM-Build: 13.0-20160709-NIGHTLY-oneplus2 (I tried the app with few different versions)

Touchpoints: 12 (tried it with help of my girlfriend)

Status: rootet

I tried to re-root, re-install the app but nothing helped. The app seems to not recognize the touch Events. The aquiring of root access works fine. I tried it few times but then I got another app because my hardware buttons not working anymore and I needed to do anything.

Actually I'm using "All-In-One Gestures" and that works but... sometimes a gesture hangs up and is trigged since I use the gesture again so I would really use GMD if I could get it to work. I've heard many good feedback from friends about your app.

So, If you got any idea why it's not working or what I could do to get it to work, that would be great! If you need some (debugging-?) information just tell me what you need and I will post it here.

kind regards and thanks in advance

It does not modify system partition. All data/modifications are in app folder.

Is there an option to create a gesture to rotate the screen ? I'm not talking about toggling auto-rotate, I need a gesture to make the screen force rotate in portrait/landscape, as my device's rotation sensor isn't working.

This would be really helpful.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
I think there's an app "Rotation" or something like that. You can install it then create a gesture to initiate the appropriate app activity via an activity shortcut?

Feature Request:

This -- and the auto hide soft keys app -- are brilliant. I'm coming from webOS, and I was wondering if you could add a feature. You can already start a gesture in the bottom half of the screen, and I'm using this to have a single-finger swipe back gesture (from right to left), like on webOS. But using the entire bottom half of the screen for this action interferes with swiping cards off the screen, etc..

Would it be possible to add a starting zone that was only the bottom 25% of the screen? Kind of like this (pardon the ASCII art):

---------------------------------
