HOW DO I HIDE MY NAVIGATION BAR
The best way to hide your navigation bar is with your ROM settings but if your ROM does not support this you can used a Xposed module or you can add qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to your system/build.prop file.
Here is a video on how to edit you build.prop file VIDEO GUIDE

SYSTEMUI CRASHES WHEN I LAUNCH GOOGLE NOW ON TAP
This is a bug with android and google has been notified of this problem. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=193391
The reason this happens is when you hide your navigation bar with qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 the animation crashes when trying to launch google now on tap.
Luckily there is a hack to get it working, what you will need to do is force the animation to play without using google now on tap and there are a few ways to do this.
If you turn on "OK GOOGLE" detection from any screen or if you use nova launcher/apex launcher/etc... go into settings and turn on "OK GOOGLE" voice activation
then say "OK GOOGLE" and the animation will play, a white border around the edge of your screen.
Once the animation has played google now on tap will start to work.
Warning if you reboot your phone you will need to say "OK GOOGLE" again.

SWIPE NAVIGATION IS NOT WORKING
Screen DPI set to low
One person reported that when they set there DPI from 320 to 260 swipe navigation would not work correctly
SuperSU out dated
Don't forget that SuperSU is still in beta for marshmallow so make sure your up to date
SELinux not allowing Swipe Navigation to inject Events
I'm still not 100% sure why some people are experiencing this problem maybe when SuperSU goes stable for marshmallow this will be fixed but for now here are a few checks you can do:
In advanced settings test other SU contexts
Make sure SuperSu/ROM/Kernel are all up to date
Make sure your ramdisk has been patched correctly modified boot.img by Chainfire
if all fails download SELinuxModeChanger and set your SELinux to permissive If you don't want to set your SELinux to permissive you could downgrade to version 3.0.3 or use without root version

I just bught this app for support, good work mate.

I was using free, so here are my impressions/requests:

1) Different color for basic gesture actions (left,center, right, left edge, right edge)
2) Dock settings is a cluttered chaos, no need for so many options. What i would like to see is option for folders or something similar.
Also a 'set to default' option would be nice for values.

i was thinking about adding glowing for different swipes so you can see what one your doing

dock settings well yes its a bit cluttered but i need that many settings :p if you press the floating button there are some presets you can use
(use a preset as a starting point or just use the way a preset is and pretend there are no settings)

folders would need a full rewrite on how the dock works but i don't want to do that i may make a extension for that you would have to download separately and would work with all other apps

dock has default but settings does not i was thinking about adding some presets for the other settings as well like the dock settings:)

I was thinking different colors in the bottom bar, for every 'area'
Also, there could be a ' set to default' option in every setting, next to 'cancel' and 'ok'

One other thing that could be configurable, is swipe distance on dock. If i wanna reach apps, there is a lot of distance.

Keep up the good work.

Great app! Was looking for something like this but the swipe back xposed module was never consistent enough ...

some suggestions:

1. the home button is actually what i use the least, there is an option to change the size of the left and right most swipe areas, but can there also be an option to change the size of the center (home) swipe area? this will avoid the "back" and "recent apps" swipe areas being too small when the "search" and "menu" swipe areas are expanded

2. is it possible to add chrome actions (back/forward, next/previous tab, etc.) into the custom action list? it appears possible since the chromepie xposed modules and gesture navigation app have these shortcuts ... that would make chrome navigation a lot more user-friendly

There is currently no way to resize the home button

Back would be just the normal back action
If you go into actions at the bottom is more... Within more is forward
Switching tabs i was not able the find the keycode in the list that does that but
Here is something built into chrome you may not of known about
If you slide your finger across the top url bar it will switch across tabs

But i think this does not work if you have your tabs in recents if you have your tabs in recents then you could use switch to previous app the switch between your last 2 tabs apart from that i dont know

yes, i know about the gesture to swipe tabs in chrome. however it's not that useful a gesture when using the phone one-handed unless you have extra long fingers ...

i tried hard to find the keycode to swipe tabs in chrome too ... even connected to a bt keyboard to see if i could find it. but it's definitely possible since chromepie can do it, maybe it is a combination of keycodes simultaneously?

anyway, great app! got through my first day using it instead of the navbar and it feels very intuitive already
