Thanks for the report.

10.1.2 is already in PlayStore and should work with all Android versions.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Thanks for the report.

Uploaded 10.1.2 that should work with all versions :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] Cye3s:
Great, works now!:good:
[Android Apps and Games] stpaddles:
Update works great.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Uploaded new update (10.1.3) fixing Oreo support for more devices (One plus and maybe some others).
[Android Apps and Games] cswithxda:
Just spotted a weird issue:

I have a gesture for "sleep" action. Randomly, when executing this gesture, it would trigger camera app. I suspect that this has to do with the OS gesture "double click power button to open camera".

I am on app version 10.1.3 and OS version 8.1 DEC patch level. Is this a known issue?
[Android Apps and Games] robotkoer:
It may seem minor, but this app should be one of the first to fully support tall screens - 18:9 and such - in the main UI, in order to not give a false impression that the gestures would not work well on such devices (they obviously do though).

Maybe update the target API too while you're at it ?
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Could you send me a screenshot what is wrong with tall screens?
[Android Apps and Games] robotkoer:
OnePlus 5T (18:9), AOSP-based ROM with navbar disabled.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
It's because of the hidden nav bar. Is that what you meant to point out?
[Android Apps and Games] robotkoer:
No, apps that support the height take advantage of the space. For example, Chrome, XDA Labs, Slack and built-in apps.

For comparison here is how it looks with the navbar - still looks taller than supposed to be since it does not adapt.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Please forgive me if I'm being obtuse, but I don't see the difference between your screenshot and mine (Pixel 2 XL, also 18:9).
[Android Apps and Games] robotkoer:
You're right, there is no difference as Pixel also does not force-stretch apps like most OEMs do.

You can, however compare it to some apps I named to see how the navbar behavior differs.
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
I see it now! The nav bar is slightly lower in the other apps, and it does look better. Never noticed it before. The eyes ain't what they used to be.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I fixed application metadata but I don't have a device to test it. Please try attached version (separate app of Lite version).

Edit: removed attachment
[Android Apps and Games] robotkoer:
The issue is still present there, unfortunately.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Please try new build.
[Android Apps and Games] robotkoer:
Yup, no more black bar!
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Does anyone still have Android 4.4 (KitKat) device and could try if this version works for them please: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75035551&postcount=3549

Its not running in background so i have to open the app every time I want to use any gesture? Any solution
[Android Apps and Games] PhilipTD:
Hardware, system, logcat maybe?
[Android Apps and Games] general1977:
Hallo,

With 10.1.3 most gestures would not work on my Sony Xperia Tablet running Android 4.4.4

With 10.1.4 all gestures are working again, however I purchased the full version and are now back to lite again. Please provide the full version of 10.1.4 in Play Store as soon as possible.

Update 10.1.5

Uploaded update version 10.1.5 to PlayStore:

Added tall screen support in UI.

Optimised LaunchPad performance.

Fixed reported crashes.

Fixed KitKat support that was broken when adding Oreo support. Email me if you have KitKat and it still does not work for you.

I was looking for someone with KitKat to confirm the fix. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] Creed14:
I've got a G3 running SlimKat that I could dig up and test on. Want me to?

Love this app, btw. It's legit my favorite Android app of all time.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
I think it's fixed as general1977 confirmed it is working for him.
[Android Apps and Games] androidfanforever:
Thank you, been waiting for this so long: "Optimised LaunchPad performance". Glad you didnt abandon this awesome app. Donated.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Let me know what you think. It's just a first attempt. The way it is done now Android can still claim icon cache memory if LaunchBar is not used for some time. I can do it more persistent if its cleared too often.

[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Version 10.1.5 bumped target API to 25 and it looks like it introduced a crash related to notification hiding. Uploaded version 10.1.7 where notification hiding option works as low priority notification instead.
[Android Apps and Games] giusmobile:
Just updated but still not working on MATE 9 with android 7. it stops continously after few minutes as before. I've tried with any settings and giving all autorization and protection from system to kill it. It works again for few minutes as screen goes off and on again. could you fix or is impossible? thanks
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
I indeed now see a big notification, which is persistent. Turning off notifications for GMD, also turns off the toast messages.

Any chance we can get rid of the notification?
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Running service without notification was disabled with Lollipop however GestureControl was abusing it with low API target. Latest update bumped API target in order to support tall screens. I can only suggest using Low Priority which removes status bar icon. Play Store prevents lowering target API so there is no way back.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
Thank you

Yes, I don't have the status bar icon, only the big notification in the pulldown. I just want to get rid of that big notification. I could do that by turning off notifications for GMD. But that turns off the toast messages, which I need working. Is it possible for the toast messages to be working while notifications are off for GMD?
[Android Apps and Games] Techvir:
Would like to know that too.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
What Android version are you running? Oreo has special style for low priority notifications which is less intrusive. I have to dig a bit deeper to see if I can find a new workaround but I want to make it clear that notification is required by Android and hiding it is a abuse of system bugs.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
I'm on Android 7.0

Samsung Galaxy S8 plus

It's just that I have too many persistent notifications already:

AquaMail

Viber

Tasker

Call recorder

LastPass

And now GMD

My whole pulldown is overwhelmed.

It's not you. It's Android. I think this isn't a proper way they did go with this.

Anyway, I could live with that and nothing so important or even urgent about this.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Are you in beta? I uploaded 10.1.8 with hide notification fix to beta channel. Let me know if it works.

Have you tried helper apps for other notifications?

https://www.xda-developers.com/hide-app-running-background-notification-android-oreo/
[Android Apps and Games] medwatt:
There's one problem I'm facing. I have set the app to open recent apps if I swipe up with 2 fingers. The problem is if I'm trying to zoom in on something, with my thumb resting on the display and my finger swiping up (pinching out gesture), it still gets recognized as 2 fingers swiping up and opens the recent apps window. Is there a way I can eliminate this ?
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
First let me say that this is intentional. At some point it looked like a good idea to allow for multi-finger gestures to work in a way where you hold all fingers still and do the gesture just with one finger. It mostly makes sense with starting zones and I'm not sure if anyone is really executing gestures this way :rolleyes:.

As a quick fix you probably need to think of some different gesture that does not conflict with your regular device usage: 3 fingers, starting zone, more complex path. 2 finger gestures in general tend to conflict with zoom.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
Thanks again.

I'm not in beta. I think I need a g+ account, but I don't have one. Could you post a link somewhere, so I could download it.

And the notification matter is more complicated for me. My problem is that I want only the big notifications absent. The small icon on the Taskbar is something I need. For instance if I suspend the gestures, I want to see the icon that the gestures are switched off. Another example is that I don't need the big Tasker or call recorder notifications, but I need to see their small icons in the task bar, so that I know they're running at all times. May be someone can create an app for that...

Also I'm still on nougat, not on Oreo.

The helper apps you provided a link to (thanks for that again) also provide solutions, but all of them eliminate both the big notification in the pulldown and the icon in the taskbar. So they're not going to work for me.

I repeat that I can live with the persistent notification, but they're getting too many and clutter the pulldown.

What you explained here is something which was discussed in this thread and I think it is a very good option. Actually I use this functionality all the time (holding one of the fingers and making the gesture with only the other one).

To give the other user an idea to possibly use as an alternative: My first gesture for recent apps is 2 fingers down anywhere. This one has never interfered with zoom for me. Also I have a second one which is DL/UR on the middle of the right border with one finger.

Alt+tab is only DL on the middle of the right border with one finger. And back is just Down on the middle of the right border with one finger. So these 3 gestures work pretty well for me as a close by gestures and similar movements.

EDIT: Okay, the notification just appeared again. But I just turned the hide setting on and off, and it's fine again now
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
I also have it some times. Then after screen off and back on, it dissappears from the pulldown. But it comes back again and goes away many times.

Hey there,

Anyway of adding app shortcuts (long press app icon) in launcher? Couldn't find it, even with"activities".

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] :
Hey,

I finally decided to try GMD, and I gotta say it's freaking good!

It almost meets all my needs. I still have to keep Xposed Edge active though, because I use it to "Do nothing" when swiping up from the bottom edge. Otherwise, when I do the swipe up gestures in GMD, the navbar briefly shows. Is there any method to prevent this in GMD that I may have missed? That'd be nice, I could get rid of Xposed Edge ^^

Also, I'm not sure what the paid version brings compared to the free one? I may still purchase it anyway just to show support though.

Oh and last question, is there any way to make a swipe and hold gesture (iPhone X-like) ?

Thanks!!!
[Android Apps and Games] robotkoer:
Why not get rid of the navbar altogether?

If you have Magisk, there is a nice module available, otherwise set qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1 on build.prop.

Unlimited customizable gestures ?
[Android Apps and Games] :
How is it called? I can't find it :(

Does it also hide the bar when keyboard shows up?
[Android Apps and Games] pseudoheld:
cheers! waiting for the PM.

maybe have a look at this mod for CM9 which changes stuff in the android.policy.jar to be able to hide the bar. no walpaper reset. maybe have look at it or chat with the dev "Dubi"!

[Android Apps and Games] Thalonius:
I totally love the lite-version and tried to find a possibility to buy the full one, but I don't own a credit card.

Is it planned to use alternative plattforms (like AndroidPits App Center), so that at least PayPal is accepted?

You can buy key for Lite version. Send me your google account email address, donate 5$ here:

And I will generate key for you. This way you can stay up to date by updating Lite from market.

[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Thanks, I will fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Took a look, its basically mod for CM9. I will check if I can add specific CM9 support when I have it on my device (7.7). For now you can ask mod developers to add launcher shortcut receiver. This way they can toggle bar without activity (GUI) and you can map this shortcut to gesture.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
Test version

Uploaded new version to XDA (not in market). Link in first post or here:

http://evitafoto.lt/public/GestureControlDemo.apk

Changed gesture recognition logic.

Removed directions option in custom gestures (I felt it was awkward).

Basically this is preparation step for "on screen release" option and more complex gestures.

Now need feedback how this tweak works on different devices and what is your experience with it.

Note, that you can create any number of custom gestures in Lite. They will be recognized and notification will be shows. So Lite does not limit testing.

Some things that for me were hard to execute in earlier versions, but now seems ok:

triange: UR-DR-L (or any other triangle direction)

C: L-DL-D-DR-R (if you omit DL and DR, you get cornered figure)

Z: R-DL-R

U: D-DR-R-UR-U

D: U-R-DR-D-DL-L

On tablet I can execute these with multiple touch points (3 or 4). On phone it works well with 1, but with more fingers it is more difficult, because if you hit border, then ACTION_UP is fired and gesture is canceled.

Will wait for feedback for couple of days and if everything is good will push update to market. Maybe will add some more features in that time.

P.S: if you have full version, you have to stop full version service. Lite is separate application and won't share/alter full version settings.
[Android Apps and Games] StuMcBill:
I just downloaded the lite version of this (mainly to hide the status bar on my Transformer Prime) and when I am playing Reckless Racing 2 I seem to get constant "toasts" from superuser telling me that Gesture control has got superuser permissions.

What is it actually getting superuser permissions for? It gets a bit distracting when playing a game, is there anyway I can stop this? I would be willing to buy the full version if I could get this to stop?

Cheers

Stewart
[Android Apps and Games] pdppdp:
With SuperSU from play store you can hide these popups for every single app.
[Android Apps and Games] StuMcBill:
Can I just upgrade my superuser to SuperSU?
[Android Apps and Games] pdppdp:
Yes. I deleted normal superuser app after granting su rights for supersu.
[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
When you are playing games Android restarts background processes more often. On restart GestureControl reconnects to driver and need root for that. Easiest solution is to disable toast for GestureControl in Superuser (Elite if you want to disable for one app) or use SuperSU (recommended) and disable it there.
[Android Apps and Games] kay_kiat88:
So far so good with the new version that u posted here. Nothing much to report. All the gestures that I have respond well. But for launchpad and recent app (ics), sometimes it is a bit slow to respond.

[Android Apps and Games] clouds5:
you can also stop SU notification pop up windows in the regular superuser app under settings or move them to the notification bar.

[Android Apps and Games] StupidIdea:
New version: 1.9.2

1.9.2:

- Updated gestures detection, removed 4/8 directions option. Should detect 8 direction gestures better. Email or PM me if gesture detection degraded on your device

- Pause gestures action now works like a toggle pause/unpause

- Added custom gesture option to ignore pause

- Added vibrate on gesture option

- Removed hide bar on screen on option. Hide on unlock will detect if lock is disabled

- Disabled gestures on lockscreen

- Added support for Mediacom Smartpad 810c

- Added support for LePanII

[Android Apps and Games] robotkoer:
"Hide navigation bar" https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/magisk-module-hide-navbar

It hides the navigation bar everywhere by making the device behave like it had physical navigation keys. Don't forget though that if GMD stops for some reason (like an update), you might need to reboot the decide or find another way to get home and relaunch it.

[MENTION=4147454]StupidIdea[/MENTION]

When I Implement "suspend gestures" action, the gestures are indeed suspended and I see an icon in the taskbar.

But when I switch off the screen and switch my screen back on (unlock my phone), the gestures are actived again.

Maybe there's a reason for that to be so.

So is it possible to make the gestures be suspended until only I turn them back on myself? I just don't like them turning on automatically after I unlock my phone.

[MENTION=4147454]StupidIdea[/MENTION]

Hello! I have Redmi 5 plus with Miui 9 on Android 7.1. You can make navigation support toggle One Hand Mode? Or add support to assign two or more consecutive actions to one gesture? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] rogerinnyc:
Still my favorite app and the reason why I root, but my Mate 10 has such aggressive power management that it constantly terminates GMD, even when your app is excepted from power optimization and authorized to launch itself and run in background. I disabled the Power Genius app through Titanium, which one user said would fix the problem, but I'm still having GMD stop. By contrast, other root apps (e.g., AdAway, Reboot) keep running. So, not a bug in your app, per se, but I'm wondering if there's anything you can do or suggest for Huawei devices?

EDIT: I think I've found a fix simply by making GMD a system-priv app -- I used the Magisk module Terminal Systemizer. So far, so good.....

Is it possible to simultate 3D touch during the gesture. For example only activate the gesture when the pressure level is over 0.5
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
No.. but it sounds like a possible idea for the future

I don't know any apps that utilize the pressure level sadly.
[Android Apps and Games] kehne:
Technically it's not so difficult, just log the first pressure value. That's important because each finger didn't create the same value. When there is no big movement in the x and y position but the pressure increase activate the gesture.

There are some open source projects witch notice the 3d touch really good. Let's make our Android great again. Would be one of the biggest improvement in Android.
[Android Apps and Games] vingar:
[MENTION=4147454]StupidIdea[/MENTION] I'm sad, I used your app in my Op3 with a custom 8.1 rom and everything worked perfectly. The touch is not recognized after the latest updates.

[Android Apps and Games] system1system2:
Custom gesture not working with GBoard active

[MENTION=4147454]StupidIdea[/MENTION] first of all, let me say that this app is fantastic. I paid for the full version and I simply refuse to buy a new phone until it's rooted to not lose it.

Now the problem:

As you can see in the screenshot attached, I recorded two custom gestures (the rounded ones at the top of the list) to invoke Back and Home navigation commands.

They work perfectly everywhere in the system and allow full OS navigation just by using the right thumb in a very natural way (so natural that I disabled Android navigation buttons one year ago and never looked back).

The only place where those 2 gestures don't work is in apps where Google GBoard is on-screen. For example an ongoing Whatsapp chat. In that situation, even if I defined "Active on Keyboard" in Advanced Option for each gesture, my movement is not registered.

To circumvent the problem I had to create a second pair of gestures, this time by creating a path (the squared ones at the bottom of the list). They have the same function of the rounded ones, but are less fast and intuitive, hence not ideal.

The squared paths work perfectly even when GBoard is active on screen. The rounded recorded gestures don't. Why? Am I doing something wrong? Is it GBoard to blame? Can it be fixed somehow?

Thanks a lot
[Android Apps and Games] Spl4tt:
Yes I know, it shouldn't be that difficult if the android framework allows access to that value. And GMD would be even more revolutionary than it already is now.
[Android Apps and Games] kehne:
I could publish the source code if there is any interest?
[Android Apps and Games] gregferns:
Hi,

I also tried using it on custom roms earlier on my op3 and it wasnt working. But now i tried setting it manually on the Z UNLEASHED rom and it worked.

I used DEVICE SETUP -- MANUAL -- TOUCH DEVICE -- synaptics

and TOUCH EVENT PARSER -- legacy (HC)

And it is working fine....

Hope it works for you.
