[APP] GMD SPen Control (root)

StupidIdea · Apr 25, 2013

I'm developer of GMD SPen Control and I just added Note 8 support in my application.

This application allows to created custom S Pen gestures for rooted Galaxy Note devices. It works on all roms.

Play Store: GMD SPen Control

You can test it free in development thread.
XDA development thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34085846

Supported devices: Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy Note 10.1

Application has a lot of built in actions, but probably really unique action is ability to diable finger touch input.
Other actions are previous/next application, LaunchPad, recent applications, Home, Back, music control, screen off, power menu and a lot more. It also allows to start any application or shortcut including Tasker tasks.

Features:
* Custom SPen gestures
* Supported gestures with button pressed and without button press.
* Custom path, hold and tap gestures
* Different actions can be assigned for gestures that start from different starting zone
* A lot of custom actions
* LaunchPad
* Start any application or shortcut including Tasker tasks

Video and sreenshots are a bit outdated but still it give the idea.

Just in case you had installed older SPen Control version (4.x.x) on Note 8 make sure to uninstall it an reinstall fresh version 5.0.0, or you will get wrong screen calibration values and gesture path will be drawn at wrong position (below actual S Pen).

I uploaded new version 5.0.2 and FC should be fixed.

I somehow got corrupted build. Android SDK builds debug (development) versions just fine, but every time when I need to export final applications I get Dalvik errors and I have to do clean build/export several times till it succeeds

Does this work with the Cpen on the S4

Thanks Stu, I have the paid apps, working nicely on note 8, except gesture back sometimes a little unpredictable. Just wondering if there is any advanced mode/backdoor to execute small shell scripts directly from custom gestures.
Wow, this app has come a long way since the early 7.7 days.

Hello!

May I know where I can find this feature "Added persistent Disable Finger Input option"? I can't seem to find it anywhere and I want to keep my finger input disabled even after waking up.

Thanks!

I just released new update to Play Store. Could you try if Back works properly on Note 8 now? I think I fixed it, but I don't have Note 8 to test.

Its a checkbox in Gesture (first) tab near default Disable Touch Input gesture. Note that it also works for custom gestures Disable Touch input gestures.

Spen Back flawless - I'm running Civato's latest kernel/4.1.2 rom.

Normal Gesture control app (three fingers down) back message shows up, but back action doesn't/rarely happen.

Cheers

I SAW IT! :laugh:
Thanks, works great!

I have some feedback though:

1) Do you plan to have a whitelist? Ideally I would like to disable touch only in certain apps.
2) Can screen touch be independent of capacitive button touch? Coz the buttons are the only thing I really wanna disable during certain apps.
If there's a simple toggle app to disable the buttons, that would be perfect. I can then use Tasker to do whatever I want with it

Galaxy Note 8.0 Issue

Hello,

The Pen Detach and Attach actions are not working on my GNote 8.0 (WIFI) model.

Pen Detach Action: Disable touch
Pen Attach Action: Screen Off

The "User Gestures" work as desired.

I tried both checking and unchecking "Overtake SPen Gestures". I would not prefer to overtake the SPen Gestures though.

I remember on my Note 10.1 I had to disable some S-Pen Setting from the Settings of the tablet, but can not recall.

Thanks in advance!

More Note 8 issues

More issues on Galaxy Note 8. I have the app installed and configured as below:

Overtake SPen Gestures: No (Unchecked)
Draw SPen Path: No (Unchecked)

Most of the time "Disable touch input", when enabled (On) works - say 90%
I tried to recreate cases when it doesn't work. And although I can't recreate it all the time, may be 3-4 times in 10 tries, here is what is happening

When the SPen is held slightly above the screen, a few centimeters, may be, essentially when the little air view 'dot' shows up, the disable touch input tends to break. That is, at that specific instance the back and menu buttons get enabled.

Don't know if others with Note 8 are facing this issue, and the previous one reported.

Both issues not deal breakers though, just a little annoying.

Nevertheless, good work and great app. At least solves the purpose. Never had any issues with it on note 10.1

Thanks

It's there any way to call the Samsung screenshot method(with Spen edit options) with GMD? That is the only Samsung gesture that I need. I'm not able to find a shortcut for it.

Very useful app, using it in my N7100 and N8000 without problems.
Although, some issues in my N5110 with android 4.2.2: disable touch input it's not working at all when Spen is detached. I'm working with Note Anytime and GMD SPen Control is essential for me.
Any solution?
Thank you.
