[APP] zMooth gesture app to replace keys
- Thread starter windroidHD
- Start date
I'm using HD2 with Ultimate Droid 3.2.0, I've had some issues with apps previously, but clearing Dalvik's cache helped. After I cleared it second time ever today morning, menu gesture worked once, after that only home gesture is working properley. I might consider getting pro version if I were sure it will work fine
you can try going into settings and restart the service and don't change any any other settings in zMooth and see if it works. If it stops working again after few minutes then your ROM has some issue. The back and menu gesture require "SU" to be working, home gesture doesn't need SU, that's why it's working all the time.I'm using HD2 with Ultimate Droid 3.2.0, I've had some issues with apps previously, but clearing Dalvik's cache helped.

Ideally you never need to restart the service (maybe once if it shows a message to restart when you configure height and width initially).
I did as you say, the fact is that program is not working well. But another fact is that I like it so much that I'll keep it on my device anyway and expect that some updates will make it work soon. Even the home gesture itself is helping a lot, I use this button the most
.Good work :windroidHD. I'm waiting for updates
Good luck with your projects and thanks for help
I'm having exactly the same problem as you. Though im using Rafdroid's Desire HD rom 4.0.2

i was going to post feedback
But everyone beat me to it. The only other thing I can think of is to be able to move it to different areas. Its a great app I bought the full version but I'm going back to the free one because it doesn't seem to do the 10-20 height change. I will keep the subscription though I don't want a refund.
Its a great app I see this being an HD2 staple if you continue to update it.

It depends on what task killer You are using, and whether it has auto killing feature. I tried Advanced Task Killer and Adao Task Killer, with and without autokillnig, and I managed being able to use menu gesture once every time I restart the zMooth service. But that can't be called a real achivement and feedback
I don't use one and it actually isn't recommended to use an automatic task killer on Android.It depends on what task killer You are using, and whether it has auto killing feature.

I pushed update for Pro version to fix the height issue.But everyone beat me to it. The only other thing I can think of is to be able to move it to different areas.

for other's where back and menu are not working on rafdroid, ultimate droid.
Edit:Seems like some people got it working on HyperDroid and UltimateDroid.

I've made a full wipe, left only partinion layout and flashed lates ultimate droid 3.2.5. zMooth works just fine
. But now I can't add widgets of eg facebook, tajm or current widget on main screen. I don't get this UD, really.But zMooth works well for now
Works fine on HyperDroid.
Less options but more user friendly than 'softkey' or 'button savior'.
Sometimes a little delay between gesture and action.
The possibility to open the list of recent/running apps with a gesture would be terrific
Great job.

If it's happening all the time then there might be a issue with app working with your ROM. If it's happening intermittently then your device might be doing something else in the background when you are performing gesture.
zMooth will NOT use any CPU when it's idle, it uses CPU only when you are performing a gesture. There is no background code which will run when you are not using it.

31Just finished publishing zMooth gesture app in android market, it will allow you to use gestures to mimic back, home, menu and power (Pro version) hardware keys.
I wrote this app to be unobtrusive by using minimum amount of screen space but at the same time be very easy and intuitive to use. If you use for couple of days you will understand how easy it is to use.
after you install the app you will see a blue area at the bottom of the screen, swipe left on this area to go back, swipe right for menu and gesture a up-arrow(^) for home.
I highly suggest that you try using different gesture length and speed, it is very sensitive at default settings.
- I picked the gestures which will have least conflict/collision so that when you gesture you don't have to worry that it might fire the wrong action. The aim was to make them error resistant and build user confidence in gesturing.
- you don't have to do complete swipe or draw arrow symbol correctly, just a small quick gesture will work.
- The swipes don't have to be perfectly horizontal, you can do them at an angle.
- Small swipe/gesture will also work, they don't have to do be as long as they were shown in screenshots.
- I didn't pick any complicated gestures because back, home and menu should be achievable with out giving a second thought, after couple of days the fingers should move with least effort and finger flexion and MUST be easier than pressing buttons.
Need help or something is not working?
Support is built-in to the app, "Preferences->Help" will resolve most issues. If not resolved just contact me through "Preferences->Help->Contact Support" and I will be happy to resolve any issues. You can also use browser for FAQ / Common Issues for more info.
QR code link to both Pro and Lite version in android market app (or just search for "zmooth" in android market) :

Please check market for updates and changes.
Sorry for the quality, I never posted videos of phone screen's before, didn't know how difficult it is to capture these screen's on video.

you don't have to really draw the complete arrow (or left/right swipe), just do quick gesture up and down. up arrow is like home symbol(like roof of your house).This is really handy!
But I would like to have home on gesture up, instead of having to draw an arrow.
Left:back
right:menu
up:home
Heck, if there's time. Why not let us create ur own gestures for app-launching ect?
And transparancy would be nice, but I see that's already been suggested.
Even if you decide not to do this, I think I'll keep this app on my phone.
try to decrease length/time of gesture and see how sensitive and easy it is. I put long lines in screen shots just to show for beginners.1ya since menu slides up gesture should be slide up, you can actually slide up inclined as shown in below screenshot to pull up the menu.
I picked the gestures which will have least conflict/collision so that when you gesture you don't have to worry that it might fire the wrong action. The aim was to make them error resistant and dependable.11I'm also having problems after redownloading. Olny ^ gesture works correctly. The "back" gesture worked for me only once, for the time I've been using this app. Other gestures no matter how I swipe them wont work. Superuser permission had been given correctly both times.
Anyway, this is a great idea for an application, I'm hoping it will work correctyl and will save my hardware buttons.
