This looks awesome. I'll install Xposed just for this and will report back!

I've been hoping somebody would come up with this, thank you!

I know it's version one but on my device (Verizon running SkyFall ROM and Evo's kernel) the Google voice gesture doesn't turn the screen on. It works, but the screen is still off lol. Just a heads up!

EDIT: Didn't realize you mentioned that on the download page in Xposed... disregard :p

Actually Google Voice Search should turn on the screen, it has a flag set on it that does that.
I can add the option to turn on the screen manually if it doesn't work for some reason.

Do you have a passcode set? (Although I did test that too)

I have a lockscreen set but no passcode. Google Voice starts (I can hear the chime) but the screen doesn't turn on and it immediately quits. Everything else seems to work just fine. I just took a glance at your source, and I noticed that there's no call to wakeUpDevice in the performAction method (for Voice anyway.) Could that be the issue?

I tried adding that and testing it myself, but for some reason when I compile and run on my device, nothing at all works. So clearly I'm doing something wrong on that front :p

Yeah, it's not there cause there's a flag set with intent.addFlags that turns the screen on.

It probably didn't work cause you didn't wait for Xposed to update the module list. Toggle the module and reboot.

Gotcha. I don't know that much about developing for Android. I activate the module and reboot though, to no avail :(

Nice mod! Any way to have the phone not wake up with the music prev/next gestures?

That was the original goal, but after a gesture is detected no more gestures are recorded, so you either have to turn on the screen yourself or not use gestures.

I mentioned it in the repository link description. I have no idea if this is a thing in the SensorHub hardware, the kernel, or SensorHubService I'm hooking, so it needs more time to see if it's possible.

I have the same issue with the screen not turning on. I toggle the module and reboot and it didn't fix it for me.

@MohammadAG I've finally gotten the Google Voice trigger to work as intended. I modified the Xposed.java file to include the wakeOnScreen method when starting Google Voice (I'll attach my modified file here.) This change combined with your Secure Google Voice Search module works perfectly. Thanks so much :)

EDIT: apparently I don't know how to attach files... here's a link instead then: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3WKgmwysr6OM29rbUxwbG93NlU/edit?usp=sharing

You can have my modified version of the apk here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3WKgmwysr6OQUM0MFZySW13OWs/edit?usp=sharing

Bear in mind that it's unsigned and such (I don't know how to sign apks yet :p) I just got it working on mine and figured I'd offer you the version that's working for me if you want it. Installing this + OP's secure google voice search module will make it work.

I just installed the modified APK and the secure google voice thing. It does work and wakes the devices, but after the very first time it launches google voice search, subsequent attempts only open google now search, but no voice. I have to close google search for it to work again.

That being said its definitely working better than before!!! Kudos!

I'm not having that issue, it works every time for me. So I dunno :p but I'm glad this version is working for you. Keep in mind that when OP updates his you'll have to manually uninstall the apk I gave you, as the signatures won't match.

Great development!

I was wondering is it posible to give each swipe option "no action" line?
Thing is that I like double tap wakeup but all other options are wakeing my phone by accident too many times.

Agreed, what I really want is a way to enable/disable some of the gestures. HTC doesn't allow me to do that, it's all or nothing. I was hoping this module would give me that option, but it doesn't :(

I'm having the same problem as a bunch of the above with it not waking the screen. I tried using this with the dot view case and without and get the same chime and stop effect. Is this supported with the case? (I'm also using your dot view mods app)
