[Jul 20] SideSqueeze+ | squeeze, press, gestures, tweaks, vibs, fprints, S Pen & more

SideSqueeze+ is an app that brings extended functionality to your unrooted (or rooted) Galaxy device, helping you to do more. It is only compatible with some Samsung Galaxy devices from 2017 onwards.


SideSqueeze has grown beyond just squeezing & pressing and has become SideSqueeze+. A core feature is still detecting both squeeze and press gestures via the analysis of barometric sensor pressure data, but SideSqueeze+ now does much more by means of the "Plus" module. Additional functionality so far includes: fingerprint unlock vibration (for both front and back fingerprint scanners), face/iris unlock vibration, customizable fingerprint unlock actions (start the camera when you unlock with a certain finger, etc), navigation gesture vibration (satisfying haptic feedback when using navigation gestures), slice gestures (chop the edge of your hand against the screen and slice up/down to do things), double chop gestures (similar, but instead of slicing down, just lift your hand), status bar flick gestures (flick down very quickly on the status bar to do something), lockscreen tap gestures (triple tap on an empty spot of the lockscreen to do something), automatic biometric lockout (secure lock your device with as little as 1 failed attempt), power button long-press, various volume button combinations, S Pen button press remap, S Pen button double-press remap, S Pen button long-press, S Pen Note10 global air override (wave your pen at any time to perform home/back/recents/etc), S Pen inserted, S Pen removed, and miscellaneous (which consists of: 1.) accidental touch protection options, 2.) option to not turn the screen on after unplugging the cable/removing from wireless charging, 3.) option to open an app when the Buds case is opened).

Tip: If you are not interested in squeezing/pressing and would like to use this app just for the Plus module features listed above, simply switch off both squeeze and press detection. This will completely suspend the analysis engine, and leave the Plus module functionality intact.

IMPORTANT! For the Plus module to work (as well as certain actions such as: immersive status/nav toggles, rotation toggle), a command has to be run from a computer via Android Developer Bridge (adb). Instructions can be found from within the app on the Help tab. This step only needs to be performed once.​
