Anyone know of a gesture app that will allow the types of gestures that are in venom tweaks? I want to experiment with different roms but every time I do I have a hard time getting by without the custom gestures I am used. For example 3 finger swipe up or down for various actions. As well as double and long press of the back and home soft keys. I did a search but didn't quite find what I was looking for. All in 1 gestures comes close but not quite. Thanks

I am using a Galaxy Nexus. Most of the time, keys on the navigation bar are not touched by accident. But when playing a game I often touch the soft key accidentally. Because many games require to touch controls on the edge of the screen, which is very close to the navigation bar. iOS, on the other hand, does not have this problem, because apps use the full screen, and there is one hardware button. Also, I often accidentally swipe up from the bottom to launch Google Now, when actually I wanted to scroll up. There is no menu to disable that swipe up action, except disabling the Google Now. I want to use Google Now but not by swiping up. I would prefer just a icon on my home screen to launch Now.
I already saw some custom ROMs have a feature to toggle the navigation bar, but I think there must be some official solution to this. The solutions I can think of;
1. The custom ROM way. Add toggle menu to the power menu.
2. Make the buttons as physical buttons not capacitive buttons.
3. Add another physical key on the side to enable/disable navigation bar.
4. Swipe from left to right on the navigation bar to lock it. Swipe again to unlock it.
5. Long pressing Home toggles the navigation bar. On first long press, the home button is changed to a lock icon. To unlock the bar, long press the lock icon.
6. Or Google Now is launched by long pressing of the multitasking button.
What do you think? Do you have the same troubles?

You can kinds of disable it using SwipeLaunch Disabler.

Honestly probably all nexus owners experience this problem although I personally give it up for awesome stock launcher and features and being able to easily hack it.

Does anyone use pie controls with their GS4? I am going to try it, or remap some of the hardware buttons. I am thinking changing the menu button to the recent apps, and changing the long press home button to open google search. At least this way it would be kind of like a Nexus device. Does anyone else remap their hardware buttons?

First time I tried pie controls, I really didn't like them. But I flashed PAC last week, and I kind of like them now. I don't like the idea of nav buttons taking up screen real estate, and I want a one-click recents option. So I've been using them for about a week, and it's not bad. Finding a good trigger area is a bit tricky, though.
Hi I love theme and so far it has been working very well for me with limited bugs. However I have one big issue with the design. I frequently accidentally open the themer menu by long pressing the screen when I'm trying to interact with widgets or other on screen elements. It is especially cumbersome when dealing with apps that create on screen overlays . I really like how Nova allows you to choose how to open their menu. Even if you don't change how the menu is opened can you change the long press delay. I feel if it was a little longer, like the stock Google launcher it would be perfect.
Themer with Nova Launcher? Dont know what you mean.

Hi,
Are you sure you are long pressing on the homescreen and not double tapping? You are able to disable the double-tap gesture in the Gesture settings (via the Themer Settings) however the long press gesture is built into the app. In the future this gesture might be added to the gesture list. Sorry for the inconvenience.

No I have disabled the double tap gesture. I just wish I could also disable the long press gesture or even increase the long press delay just slightly. Thanks for the information though.

Spoke to the developers today and they are looking into improving the gesture section
thanks :good::good::good:
Sounds awesome thanks
Just wanted to share this app. It's useful for editing the Samsung default recent, home button and back buttons. If can also be useful to use gestures as well have a look. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures
Does it use a lot of battery
It has problem with the lockscreen timeout
For the last several months, I've been using Wake Gestures on my Quark for play/pause (swipe down) and next/previous track (swipe left/right). It's really nice while driving, since I can just swipe anywhere on the screen to skip or repeat tracks without needing to look for a button or whatever.
I doubt it does, but could one of you root users see if directional swipes will do anything with the service running and the AOD up? I'm reasonably certain it won't function without root, since it requires kernel wake gestures support (which the LG kernel should at least have partially what with it having double-tap to wake).
Nothing to be done if it doesn't work, I just want to know in advance to I can get used to not using it.
