Thanks Dice, but I think that app has to be running all the time (notification icon) for it to work (as I posted here

I wanted to know if I could achieve the same with this GMS SPen app; that's why I wanted to try the developer version first, but where is the link to download???

What I need is something very simple: to show the stock Samsung Pen Window without using the Air Command button (since I disabled this radial menu).

There HAS to be some way to invoke that Pen Window and map it to a shortcut, hardware button or something! :confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] thedicemaster:
just try it.

on first launch it will ask whether you want to use it through a hovering icon, or the app drawer icon.

set it to app drawer icon(exact wording is "Launch Pen Window") and then configure Spen control to launch the pen window launcher app with whatever gesture you want.

and if it bothers you, you can disable the notification.

Hi,

just wanted to try out the app before i buy it, but i cant find the development version in the first post, could someone point me to the link?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] loliman:
Just wondering if it is possible to click-hold the spen button, mark a section of the screen and copy that part of the screenshot? Just like in original TW Roms... this is the only missing feature I would love to have on AOSP! :) :confused:

Any way in which attaching spen would close the launchpad?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] gutlessmerc:
Hey guys,

I have the full version of the app. The launchpad would work before but out of nowhere it just stopped launching the launchpad. The settings were exactly the same. I remember giving this app root permissions but now I can't see it under my superuser. Currently I am using aosp 4.4. Any tips or suggestions on what could be wrong and how to fix it?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
It should work on any Note device. Which S Pen Control version are you using?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] OberstGrausam:
Hi there [MENTION=4147454]StupidIdea[/MENTION],

I'd like to test your app, but there is no trial version in the playstore. Could you provide a link for the developer edition please?

Additionally, does this app support the Note 10.1 2014 Edition? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] :
If it doesn't work for you, the play store allows a trial period whereby you can get a refund.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] OberstGrausam:
I know that it is possible that way, but isn't it a little short to test the functionality that SPen Control provides? Hence, there is no developer edition anymore? So, your app is compatible with the note 10.1 2014 edition?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
It works on Note 10.1 (2014) and Note 12. (Note 12 requires manual recalibration, I will add correct mapping in next update). Feel free to try the app for a couple of days and email me for a refund if you don't like it.

[MENTION=4147454]StupidIdea[/MENTION] thanks for your hard and brilliant work

As an artist and recognized themer who almoust two years making air command theme since note 2 (now note3 and you can check my work under signature) Im having one maybe stupid question.

Is it posible to change functions of air command

like instead screen wright to put lets say another app.

Thinking customizing air command ( if posible ) can be great idea for spen users.

Thanks again.

Does it show any error message or just does not work? Do default gestures work?

Don't forget to press SPen button when drawing gesture.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] AndroidGaalaxy:
No I have no error message, but the features of the application do not work.

Samsung removed the possibility of making drawings on any screen with the S- Pen (with the firmware of Note 4 in any case), where from the dysfunction I think....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] :
Unless you provide more comprehensible and cohesive feedback, I don't understand how you expect the developer to fix the problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] 12gage:
I just installed and can't get anything to respond, no gestures, or I tried using the multi-window shortcut in LMT pie and it doesn't respond either. Any suggestions? I'm on 4.4.4 Note 3 SM-N900P. Thanks for all of your hard work.

You sir are amazing, all our nothing is fine for me at least. I'll just configure the gestures from Samsung that I like in your app.

That makes a lot of sense as far as splitting the apps goes. I'll be buying both of them, though not gesture till I get my note 10.1 hehee :)

Thanks for such an awesome app!

Can't wait for the play store certain so I can buy it and disable the notification.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
Update:

* implemented checkbox to disable Samsung gestures, all Samsung gestures will be disabled if checked (still did not update development version, got late preparing for Play store :o I will update development version today when I get home).

* posted on Play store: GMD SPen Control
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] micro17:
hey thanks for this great app!

the option to turn off samsung gestures works fine for me.

but i like some of samsungs gestures very much... is it possible to implement the "take screenshot" or "overlay snote" samsung commands to be triggered by your app? this would be so cool!

edit: ive found an issue: when i use the buttom launchbar standard gesture it triggers the samsung "take screenshot" command... plus the launchbar is showed.. thats funny...

Gesendet von meinem GT-N7100 mit Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
Screenshot gesture is just holding pen in one place, so if you make a pause before drawing it will do screenshot. I will think how I could tune it.

I will investigate if I can trigger Samsung actions.

I was also thinking, should I change default Home gesture to > sign to avoid conflicts with default Note2 gestures?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
I was thinking more about it. Would work if I add gesture that enable Samsung gestures for 1 gesture and disable my gesture for that period. Example:

1) Samsung gestures are disabled.

2) Draw S gesture on screen, Samsung gestures are enabled and custom gestures disabled.

3) Do double tap for S Note

4) Samsung gestures are automatically disabled again and custom gestures enabled.

Any custom gesture could be defined for this action.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
New version 1.1.0

Updated version in Play Store and XDA:

1.1.0:

- Added disable Samsung gestures optio

- Added default Pause/Unpause gesture - use it to toggle between this application and Samsung gestures.

- Added option to draw SPen path when Samsung gestures are disabled or custom ROM is flashed.

Fresh install required or application will show that version expired. Development versions now expire in 2 days. Uninstall and do fresh install if you need more time to evaluate it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] kingwicked:
Outstanding one of the best apps , i have used on my note 2, very essential

Thankyou very much :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
Small development version update:

1.1.1:

- Fixed: Samsung screenshot gesture working when disabled.

I will test it a bit more and if working properly will update Play Store version too. Please let me know if you encounter any issues with this version.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] lm that guy:
Is it possible to change the way we set custom gestures? For example I could draw the the letter S with my spen instead of having to set gesture paths. This way the possibilities are endless because I played around with gesture paths for a bit and it seems like I can only set paths in a straight line. For example to set the letter S to do a custom action, I would have draw all 5 points for the letter. I think this would be more fun and easier.

I also drew a doodle to show what I mean.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
Updated Play Store and development version.

1.1.1:

- Fixed: Samsung screenshot gesture working when disabled.

- Fixed: Install button would not work when installing from file system.

Note that I upload here development versions that are not tested much. However, this application is not modifying system files, so risk is minimal. In worst case it may require device reboot or application uninstall.

Main reason is performance. For example on Note 2 Samsung requires you to start "Quick command" application in order to draw graphical gestures. That means at the moment it is not possible evaluate gestures in real time without increasing CPU usage to the level where it would impact device performance or/and battery usage. On the other hand with current implementation I'm able to reject events fast that do not match defined gestures. This application is meant to trigger some most often used commands with least effort.

You can still create simple gesture (like swipe up from border or hold or some triple tap) that would launch Google Gesture Search or Gesture Launcher and you can define graphical gestures there.

I plan adding gesture recording in the future, but it would still evaluate gestures to paths.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Dryblow:
Very good app!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] arifhn:
Great app!!

Bug:

When i pause the app and lock the device, next time I unlock the device the app not in pause state anymore.

and I have one question, why this app need root permission?

Thank you very much!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
1) With Pause, this was intended, but I might rethink that. I can see how you might want to keep Pause on

2) Only system or root applications can read events from drivers. Also some actions can be executed only with root permission.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] EP2008:
I just uninstalled the dev version so I could update via the play store and noticed the app is over $5. Wow.

Any chance we'll see this drop in price anytime soon? I've spent hundreds on apps, but $5 to add a few gestures is a bit too rich for me :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] stu5797:
Great work on this! Any way to have your app activated when the spen is pulled out? Just thinking it would be nice to have your service running only when its in use because now it's running all the time. Thank you again!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
I will add it if possible. However application is "sleeping" when there are no events. On my devices GMD GestureControl do not event appear in battery statistics and its processing much more events. If you even notice some reduction in battery time - let me know.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] shadow_007:
Love the fact that the can app work with Samsung gestures enabled.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] lm that guy:
Would it be possible to enable gestures while in the lock screen? Let's say you want to stop/play or change a song in the lock screen without unlocking the device. I know you could just use a lock screen music widget but some apps don't have that feature
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
This will be added in future.

---------

I'm working on "prove of concept" for graphical gestures. I'm satisfied with recognition and performance, so I have to decide on user interface changes. It would be interesting to hear users opinion.

Some background: graphical gestures would only work when SPen button is pressed. You can record any "drawing" without releasing the screen and assign action to it. It can be simple line or handwriting letter, number or shape, etc. You won't need to trigger any special action, similar to current implementation, just press button and draw gesture anywhere.

Questions:

1) Do you use gestures without SPen button press? Is it ok to remove them?

2) Do you prefer:

a) simple "swipe" gestures, like swipe left or right,

b) complex gestures, like some letter or pattern.

3) Is it ok if I remove current "path based" gestures and gestures without button press and only leave graphical gestures?

4) Do you think "starting zones" are needed with graphical gestures?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] stu5797:
Purchased your app a few days ago and love it. I like the simple gestures without pushing the small annoying button. I am so glad you thought of that. Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] lm that guy:
1)I use gestures with spen button presses. Since I use my spen more than my fingers, this would interfere with regular usage such as browsing the web etc. So I would leave it or keep both options.

2)Possible for both? Mainly I wanted complex gestures for launching certain apps and keep simple gestures for simple things. I have a setup now that makes sense with simple gestures. Ie: turning off screen by swiping bottom right corner of the screen.

3)Keep path based gestures. I have grown fond of them. Gesture without button presses would interfere with usage.

4)Starting zones are necessary especially if the spen button press gestures are removed for graphical gestures.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
Its opposite, you will need to press button to draw graphical gesture.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] lm that guy:
OK, we should keep starting zones because what if we want the same graphical gesture for a different app or action.

And I was thinking maybe 5 starting zones for top half, bottom half, right half, left half, and center.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] EP2008:
Any chance for this app going on sale for black Friday? I have to decide about getting this app or paying for button savoir, which is less than $2.

I'd prefer to get this app, but paying over $5 just to add a few extra gestures missing from Samsung's defaults really leaves a bad taste in my mouth. :-/
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
You may not agree, but this is niche app that probably will sell a few hundreds units in long run. However the fact that there are not so many users does not make it code easier or spend less time on adding new features (working on graphical gestures now). So it would be nice if app would pay for a few cups of coffee that I had to drink in order code it. Maybe I drink twice as much coffee than button savior developers :o or maybe it was easier to code and fits more devices. Just decide what fits your usage, cause you are going to use it daily and if you feel it is not worth extra 3$ thats ok. Maybe come back and check this app later when I add more features that fit you :fingers-crossed:.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] shadow_007:
1. Personally I prefer pressing the button to do special tasks. Dont want any actions to kick in when I am drawing something or even while swiping.

2. b - like the samsung quick command.

3. With graphical gestures, I dont think anybody would want to path based, graphical gestures will be easier to use.

4. Graphical gestures itself can give you a lot of combination, even if starting zones are there I would probably use only "any where on screen" option.

Also for the zoom function will you be able to use the hover functionality ? Hover over the screen and draw circles to zoom, clockwise to zoom in, anti-clockwise to zoom out. Would really like to show off that feature to all my iphone fan friends :cool:

P.S. Love your apps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
Things are going well. I already have working version with graphical gestures, but I want to test it for a day or two then I might post some preview version. Engine still need some tweaking, but I hope to finish it during weekend :fingers-crossed:.

I decided to leave both options for now. I think I found a good solution and both gestures can coexist and don't conflict. This way users can take their time to recreate graphical gestures instead of swipe gestures.

Zoom need separate investigation. At the moment I'm not even sure what is possible to achieve in this area.

New version

Major development version update - link in first post:

2.0.0:

- Added: graphical gestures

You can draw any gesture now. Supports starting zones. Old gestures are supported too if you prefer them. I will wait for feedback some time and update Play Store later.

Note:

I changed trial version package to avoid conflicts with Play Store version. Make sure you uninstalled previous trial version before trying this.

If you already have full version, you can install this trial - it will be separate application. Just stop full version while testing this (button on top right in settings - exit).

I recommend disabling Samsung gestures when using graphical gestures or you will trigger clip functionality from Samsung.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Mullicious:
Hello, I'm a paying user of the S-Pen app which I happily use on my Note 2. I was wondering, can your other app, the finger gesture control ; can the two be used in conjunction? Would any issues arise? Also, when will graphical gesture be added to the full version of S-Pen? Cheers, just want to say, I'll happily support you with your brilliant apps, you literally gave my S-Pen a reason to exist.

Edit:

Missed the FAQ at the start of this thread regarding using both apps, I'll be purchasing it soon :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
Just waiting for some feedback. Is it working for you? Everything is finished and ready for update, but I would like to hear what others think about it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Mullicious:
Working fabulous, it has great recognition of my graphical gestures, I'm really sloppy with my pen and I've not ran into any conflicts or struggles using both graphical gestures and directional. You definitely need Samsung's default actions disabled though. But then again they were useless anyways.

Edit: if I was to make one point I'd like to see implemented, is more start points, and possible mirrored start points. (Like top left+ right corners, or half the left and right side. In addition to them as a single option.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] lm that guy:
Everything is cool on my side as well
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
Uploaded v2.0.0 to Play Store some time ago and should be available by now.

2.0.0

- Added: graphical gestures

This is from other thread, but I would like to get more input from users before I decide:

I could add it, but then I can trigger gesture only when button is released. I noticed that when I release screen I only release button after slight pause. So triggering gesture on screen release triggers action faster.

If more users vote for gestures with gaps, I will change it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] lm that guy:
I would like to see this added also.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] BigE-evo:
Just bought the app from the market. Great job, Love it. I do miss the action with out pressing the Spen button. Any chance of it being an option again?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
It still there, but you have to create old style gesture ("+Enter gesture" button). At the moment I have no plans to add this for graphical gestures.

When I have this enabled on my N7100, I notice that it's not possible to install an APK (the security protection that takes place when an app has screen access seems to be active).

Disabling the process will allow you to install the app.

Is this something that has changed (I don't think I saw it before recently)?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
Thanks, this is happening because of path overlay. I had it fixed in previous version, but I needed to do a few tweaks to avoid accidental Samsung screenshot triggering in some cases. Install button works properly on my Note1, so its more difficult to fix it this time. I just uploaded new version and waiting for users feedback if Install button is fixed or not.

By the, if accidental Samsung screenshot was happening for you (with Samsung gestures disabled) try new version and let me know if it helped.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] StupidIdea:
Update: If Install button is not working, try rebooting device and let me know if it helps.
