This is amazing!! Ever since I traded my iPad for a TF101, I missed the finger gestures. Thank you for making this a reality!
[Android Apps and Games] saphyr212:
First off, I'd like to say thank you SO much for such a great application!

Next, I'd like to make a request:

CM9's CombinedBar doesn't have some of the issues associated with the way you hide the status bar with your app (killing SystemUI) such as the wallpaper disappearing and resetting to default unless it's a live wallpaper. On top of that, notifications still show up, and recent apps works even when the status bar is hidden. I was wondering if you might be able to include a toggle for hiding the status bar which would switch the behavior from just killing SystemUI on non-CM-based devices and using CombinedBar.

I'm on version 1.1.3 of ricardovpz's Megatron ROM on my TF101.

Thanks so much for your time!

P.S.

Is there any chance you could include the ability to enable or disable specific gestures on the lock screen? For example, a home gesture wouldn't be any use on the lock screen, but media-related gestures would be.

[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Its normal for android. It restarts service from time to time. I'm investigating if I can prevent this or make service to restart faster.

It would be easiest if they exposed this functionality as launcher shortcut (like AOKP did), then you could bind it to custom gesture (or Tasker profile). I will take a look how I can recognize and call it, but I'm waiting for CM9 for my 7.7 first (and not much development going on for it).

I will add option for custom gestures to allow executing on lock screen.

Multitouch on Notion Ink Adam with ICS?

I just found this app, which seems very promising! I installed the Lite version on my Notion Ink Adam running ICS 4.04. The manual status bar hide/show works fine, and so do single touch gestures. But none of the multitouch gestures work. I tried changing the "Override touch events parser detection" with no success.

Then I installed a multitouch testing app, and it only shows two points registering. So I assume Gesturecontrol has no chance of working with the 3+ point gestures!

Gesturecontrol says it supports Adam -- does that just mean it works with the single gestures? Or did previous versions of Android on Adam support 3+ point gestures, and the latest ICS is missing that feature?

Thanks!

Norris
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Notion Ink Adam support only 2 touch points. Support in GestureControl means that Adam multitouch device is detected and touch events protocol parsed.
[Android Apps and Games] MXR2:
Thnx for the reply! Yeah, but it's so close to perfection already! I would usually hide the taskbar when I'm playing games.

Btw sometimes, I tried to activate the gestures, nothing happens. After a few try there is a notification saying "GestureControl has gained root permission". After that only I can use the gestures. I can still see the GControl icon on the taskbar throughout this whole process.

On another note, custom gestures dont work when running games eg, Mini Motor Racing. When I activate my custom gesture, I can see a pop up indicating the gesture's command name but it doesnt do what its suppose to do
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
When android restarts service it schedules it for restart after about 20s. I still have to dig more deep into this problem to see why it is done (my assumption is memory management) and if it can be overcome. Application requires root and usb debugging, so its for geeks only anyway :)

What exact action was failing in games? I assume they work for you in other apps?
[Android Apps and Games] lbbooga:
I love this app. I setup adw too use a blank, single screen. I use this as a gesture field for using gestures. Custom gestures are great. Have the one that sends me to adw, one for home, and others for various things, like multitasking and launch pad

anyone uses this with a galaxy nexus? it doesn't work for me with the autodiscovered settings and I wasn't able to get it working with manual selection of different drivers.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Some users are using it on Galaxy Nexus.

Are you using stock ROM? What parser you see detected (it should be ICS_DEFAULT) ? You don't need to override multitouch device if it is detected.

Try ICS_DEFAULT and ICS_NOTE.
[Android Apps and Games] drmason:
I'm currently using the Paranoid Android ROM, but overwriting the parser with ICS_NOTE did the trick. Stragen, since I thought I already tried all combinations, anyway seems to be fine now. thanks!

Broken with ROM update.

Hey, I recently updated everything on my Acer Iconia Tab A500 (bootloader, recovery, kernel and ROM) and Gesture Control seems to be broken.

Here is the changelog for the ROM:

I went directly from v158 to v168 due to all versions in between having SOD with the ICS bootloader and I was waiting for it to stabilise so I could update everything in one go. I would try v160 to v164 but the developer has taken down the links for previous versions and the versions I currently have are incompatible with my current bootloader.

This is the second time I've had issues with GC and this ROM, but the last time you fixed it in a day without any reports from me. Hopefully, you can pull off this miracle again :)

I've tried all the event parsers and none of them do anything. GC is receiving SU permissions from SuperSU fine since manually toggling show status bar in the main tab works. My issues are probably related to the touchscreen tweaks made in the kernel. Also, the multitouch device is correctly detected (same as previous ROMS and versions.)

I'm pretty sure I shouldn't do this since the kernel isn't GPL compliant but here's the link for the ROM: http://forum.tegraowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=370

I'm available if you need logcats or need me to test a debug version.

Thanks for a great app and here's hoping you can get it working again :)

EDIT:

Just discovered that Civato's stock ICS rom has a new OC kernel (very important to me).

Here's the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1517181

I'll try it out now and let you know if it works. That ROM never gave trouble with GC, but did with other apps in the leaked beta phase. If you need to test out a debug version on Thor's ROM or get a logcat I'll probably need some advance notice since I'll probably flash this ROM in a couple minutes. I'll update then also to let you know if it works.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
You can disable default gesture and create custom gesture with same gesture and action, but select any number of fingers.

chaosking121, if you tried default parsers and it is not working I need protocol sample then. You can find instructions at the end of the first post. Send me sample when you settle on kernel and I will fix it. Rom usually is not important for gestures recognition, protocol is part of kernel.

[Android Apps and Games] dragonithe:
I've been using this awesome app on my transformer prime running stock.

However when I hide the system bar I can't acses the notification panel trough a guesture and when I bring up the multitasking list the system bar comes back up.

I understand that hiding the system bar is still somewhat of an experimental feature under ics, but will there be a fix for this in the future?

Thanks

Have you tried using SuperSU by chainfire from Google Play?

[Android Apps and Games] murtazaaksoy:
At first, I am really thankful for this app, great job.

I have a small problem, on my gnex, thanks to this app I disabled the nav buttons, but when I open the play store, the settings on the right corner disappeared. What should I do to fix this, thank you for your help..
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
If everything goes right, sometime next week. I was busy with my real job lately, so project was on hold for a while :o

Status bar hiding is as it is. I just kill/start process. It works ok on some ROM's and might not work properly on others. I try to investigate problems with status bar mainly to make sure there is no bug in application as such. But when process killing itself causes problems, I usually can not help. You still can find some other app or mod that hides status bar and bind it to custom gesture.

Notification panel is part of status bar. It cannot be shown while status bar process is killed, so I show bar when notification pannel is triggered. If you find some mod that really hides bar without killing it (like on AOKP Rom) then notification panel will work without showing status bar.

I'm not sure if you mean that

a) it don't reappear now even when you restore status bar

or

b) you cannot access settings while status bar is hidden?

For b you can create custom gesture and assign 'Menu' action.

this looks cool (but I'm still on GB):

could you make the market I mean play store description a little more clear that it's HC/ICS only
[Android Apps and Games] soyef:
Hi,

Could you add an option to choose a gesture to enable and disable auto rotation

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
It has API requirement set, but I will add it to description too.

I will add it. For now you can create gesture with tasker shortcut (and probably some other apps provide it too as a shortcut).
[Android Apps and Games] murtazaaksoy:
Thank you, i create a menu gesture and problem solved.
[Android Apps and Games] waylaidwanderer:
It seems as if the service doesn't start up on boot. I have to launch the app manually before it works again. I'm using SuperSU btw.

[Android Apps and Games] lambstone:
I think you should wait a little longer. I had the same issue as you do but it just takes a while for it to launch. It's not really that high up in the boot priority.

I realized this an hour after I turned on my phone.

It's possible to add an option to hide notifications for individual custom gestures?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] pseudoheld:
this has been said often its part of the PRO package. buy the app and then you can disable them!

if you however mean the superuser notifications use supersu to disable them!
[Android Apps and Games] flydev:
thanks for you reply.

i have the pro version and you can disable all the notifications.

like i say, i want to hide specific notifications for individual custom gestures

also, it's not related to the supersu notification of apps gaining root access

thanks again
[Android Apps and Games] dfkt_:
StupidIdea, would it be possible to have Wifi/BT on/off toggle functionality in the launchpad? That's basically the only feature left I have to use the status bar or desktop widgets for - would be great to control that from within Gesture Control too.
[Android Apps and Games] lambstone:
If you have tasker installed as well, you can configure it to do so as such. Simple when configuring the custom gesture set it to shortcut and then tasker.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Not at the moment. I will add option to custom gestures.

As already suggested, you can bind some shortcut for this. If you don't do this too often you can create shortcut to corresponding settings page, so you don't need any third party app.

So far I feel like it can be solved by means mentioned above. Do more users need this action?

Hi,

just saw a video on Youtube showing the innovative app switch solution on Windows 8: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=msvxzkfFTGY#at=90

I know that it would take a while to develop this, but it looks very nice and useful, so it would be great, if you would set this on your todo list and at least try to integrate this cool switching effect.

Anybody gets working on galaxy tab 2 7" version. I can't get it to work and on the "override multi touch device detection" all I see is 'not detected' with no other options.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I got reports that it is working on Tab2. Multitouch device 'melfas_ts' is detected, but you need to override parser to 'ICS_NOTE'. Default detection will be added with next update. However if you don't see device list then its something different. Make sure service is started. If it still fails to list devices (in Help tab), send me log cat.
[Android Apps and Games] Blindie:
hallo, can you tell me how do you remove the systembar? because we use tablets in an restaurante and we use order tabs, and the guest should only use the order app and i cant find a way to remove the systembar completly. Please help me

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I just kill status bar process. Unfortunately this is not working completely stable on ICS. Just for status bar best solution would be to install custom ROM that has this functionality built in (like AOKP).

The problem is, the German galaxy tab have a lot of problems with custom roms
[Android Apps and Games] 2qwaszx:

Hi StupidIdea,

I'm very happy with your app, but do you have any solution to prevent app being killed from android os when something use too much RAM?
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I have some ideas but yet need to look at it. Probably will be just for power users, but I will check if reverting service to system service helps. It has to be done by user, but if it works and helps I will post the instruction. So far I got report from users that after reverting it to system service it is not working.

I just got a brand-y new Virgin Mobile phone, the HTC Evo V 4G. Trouble is that it's actually last years Sprint HTC Evo 3D. Well not trouble as it's still a decent phone, but trouble since it's got a new name but it's the old phone hardware. Do I need to send in info for this phone? I haven't rooted yet but I'm sure it will work just fine, since I'm sure there is support for the year old Evo 3D but should the new device name get worked into something somewhere?

[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I have to map every multitouch device to corresponding parser. So if GestureControl in Help tab does not detect your device, that means that I need to add this mapping. You can override mapping and see if it works with default parsers. Look a few posts above (or first post) for instructions.

Is it possible that your app is preventing my tablet from going into deep sleep?
[Android Apps and Games] stereoactivo:
Hi, I just bought your app from market.

I'm having some problems with it.

When I hide the status bar, after a while, it appears again, and I can't make it to disappear again. Always happens when I' playing.

Now the status bar is not hiding when I play some games, like angry birds, and in other games like shadow gun or windup knight, if I make a gesture, the game stops recognizing my fingers' input, I have to go to home screen and reopen the game in order to make it work.

Also the app has problems with ICS browser. When switch to browser using 4 finger gesture, the browser opens the last url typed, or the last page opened from another app

any help with be appreciated

i'm using a asus eee pad slider with android revolution rom
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
It should not. So far nobody complained about that and it is not the case with any of my devices. I think Better Battery Stats shows what application prevented sleep and I think there was a free beta version on XDA. Let me know what you find out.

I can only confirm that there are problems with status bar hiding on Revolver ROM. Some users complained before. I kill status bar process and while it works for most ROMS it does cause problems on some. For custom ROM users I suggest contacting ROM developer and ask to add proper way to hide status bar without killing the process and expose this functionality through launcher shortcut. This way you can bind it to custom gesture. Just like AOKP ROM did.

Could you provide more details about browser problem? I understand you are doing default previous application gesture to return to the browser that was open before and it opens last visited url? And what you would expect it to open?
[Android Apps and Games] stereoactivo:
An example: I'm on twitter, and open a link from there. The browser opens the link. I continue browsing other pages in other tabs. Then, my last tab opened is... Google. After that, I use a gesture to switch to another app, and after using that app, I use another gesture to go back to browser. Now, the browser opens in the active tab (Google), the link from twitter.

Also, can you make something for the games? It seems that the games doesn't recognize the "release" of the fingers when the gesture is made, and it causes the game to beleive that I'm still touching the screen.
[Android Apps and Games] primetime34:
It wasn't your app that prevented my tablet from sleeping. Thanks for the suggestion of better battery stats, it showed me the culprit.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Thanks, now I get it. It does not behave this way on all devices (at least mine work fine) but I will see what I can do to fix it.

having a bit of a problem using this app, while im able to use the default gestures the custom gestures i created end up not doing anything.

ex. gesture path is UL-D, borders are left not checked and the touchpoints is 1, the action is to open an app, when i try the gesture it does nothing.

am i doing something wrong or is it some other issue? ideas welcome!.

Um just want to report that no browser stock or 3rd party catches the forward gesture, other than that this app is awesome!:D

Stock Tweaked xxla4 GT-P6800
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Custom gestures are same as default (actually default are just predefined custom gestures), so lets see what is going on.

UL-D would be up-left diagonally and then down. Is that what you tried?

Could you enable gesture notifications and try something simple, like 'L' for left and assign action like LaunchPad and see if it works.

I know its confusing. It works with ICS stock browser and technically can work with some non stock browsers on ICS and HC. I will just disable this action for HC and leave it for ICS only.
[Android Apps and Games] mrsmiles:
I see honestly I wasn't all that sure how the gestures were executed so I wasn't doing it correctly (the diagonal part)

things work as they should now that I know what I was doing wrong.

[Android Apps and Games] Yuhfhrh:
I tried the free version of the app for 10 minutes and immediately purchased the paid version for more development.

Since I've used it for a few days, I've gotten quite used to it, but I wish there was a way that when you are on your launcher, the status bar/nav bar was always there.

I frequently find myself clicking the home button and then having to swipe three fingers up and wait a couple of seconds for the bar to come up to see what notification I received.

Maybe its just me but I think that would be great.

New version: 2.2.4

Version 2.2.4

- Merged ICS_NOTE and ICS_DEFAULT into one parser. Email me if gestures stopped working after update.

- Added new devices: GTab2-10.1, HTC One X, Ainol Elf II, Ainol Aurora II

Did some code clean up and merged ICS_NOTE and ICS_DEFAULT into one parser. For now both values are left in Advanced tab for override, but implementation is same for both. If everything works as supposed, I will remove ICS_NOTE completely in next update. This way it will be less confusing when testing new devices. If you were using ICS_NOTE parser, you will see ICS_DEFAULT in Help tab already in current version.
