this would be similar to Alt+Tab on a PC - except you'd swipe left and right on the floating window... maybe add a top bar to the floating window so as to not conflict with apps that require left/right swipe to open menus, and then swipe that top bar.
i think that'd make the floating window mode 10x more useful than it's current iteration where it's a one time, one way operation.
another related function would be from this advanced floating window mode, as you're cycling through apps, users could then swipe up or down to close that particular app, thus removing it from the cycle.

I'm trying to set up a shortcut to open the JB quick settings window (the one you get by swiping the corner of the status bar, or swiping with two fingers, depending on your preference), and I can't seem to find a command for it anywhere. Not in Tasker, not in the Activities list, and no widget in the Play store that opens it with a tap. Oddly, I can use the Nova Launcher "Nova Actions" menu to create an "expand quick settings" button, but it can only sit on the home screen, while I want to add a button to my quick launch. If I could just create a widget or shortcut that toggles that button it'd work fine, but I can't find the functionality anywhere.
I'm running CM10.1. Thanks for any help anyone can offer.
On HTC ONE you pull your notifications down with 2 fingers.
Love paranoid and the direction you are taking.
A feature that I belive many users would benefit from is gesture control when in immersive mode.
For example I am browsing on chrome in immersive mode and I want to access the quick setting tiles in order to change my connection from 3g to wifi. I pull my finger down from the top of the screen to show the notification bar and then repeat to open the quick settings shade. But what's this oh no I have closed the page I was browsing. (This can happen)
My solution to this is a gesture from the side of the screen dragging my finger in a downward arch with a flick at the end to bring down the shade.
Please bring this feature it will really assist with the usability of immersive mode.
I have a few requests to improve the user experience with Hover:
1. After launching an app into floating mode, the user should be able to jump to full screen mode if they want. It would be very slick if this could be accomplished with a 'pinch out' gesture but a fullscreen button would also work.
2. Instead of having to long-press from the notification panel to launch an app in floating mode, there should be a button that automatically displays underneath of every notification that states 'reply' or 'floating' so that the user can access the app in floating mode more quickly.
3. When launching into floating mode from recents, the app that is currently running should remain fullscreen while the app that was selected in floating mode should appear over top of the current app. Right now, the app that is open and running before accessing the recents menu is closed completely after selecting an app to run in floating mode.
Thanks and I appreciate any and all feedback.
Hi - my tablet upgraded yesterday to One UI 2.1. I use my tablet to play games frequently and the now the navigation bar is activated differently while doing so. Before the update I had full screen gestures enabled so that when I was playing games I could just single swipe the bottom area of the screen to perform navigation functions. There were no hints or symbols. After the update with the same settings... when i swipe the same area the first swipe brings up a small navigation bar (as well as notification bar at top) and then I have to swipe again for the navigation result. It's like the have the navigation bar on auto hide like a Windows task bar.
I was really used to the single swipe gesture in these games so am looking for a way to get back to that if possible. It appears that in the android interface and other apps it works as it used to. It is only in games that it now acts different. I checked my "game booster" settings and couldn't see anything different.
Thanks in advance!
I have a phone with Android 5.1.1. Opening the top drawer is hard because the phone has a box around itself.
Is there a way to increase the sensitivity (or the space) for the top-down gesture for opening the drawer? Like on newer Samsung phones?
An application can provide a sensing of "swiping from top to down an any part of the screen" would be nice as well (in case it can open my notification bar for that swipe gesture, but it needs to stay transparent, i.e I need to click-through it.
What would you recommend?
