Thank you.
as we stated in OP, for overriding volume keys, we have to write custom accessibility service and accessibility service going to be deprecated in future version of Android. and it also gives problem in some devices, hence we have added Gesture option so Knob Volume slider is just a one swipe away.

That is sad.
But it's looks great anyway.

Accessibility Service isn't being deprecated in a future version of Android. Where did you hear that from?

Thank you for confirmation, about changing volume, you have to use knob, overriding volume keys and changing volume on press gives trouble and flickers hence we left it to user to change it once user sees knob window.

Yep. After update found it. But the volume keys just shows the program pop-up window and not changing the volume. ☹️

I got the app off the play store today, and installed it on my OnePlus 5 running Oxygen OS 9.0.10 . Love the concept, and the execution, but after about 30 minutes, it would randomly wake my screen from a sleep state. At first, I though it might be something else, so I shut off my display, but again about 30 minutes later, my screen was back on. That has NEVER happened before. So, I uninstalled your program almost 2 hours ago, and my phone has not turned it's self back on since.

Any idea what could be causing your app to turn on my display? I'd really like to use it!

We found the issue, and we fixed it, the latest version 1.12 released , its on playstore,
may be take some time to appear on your playstore.
please update once you see version 1.12
the issue is fixed. we were checking and creating gesture control for every 2 hour interval, as some android system kills the app. but now we removed that logic, the interval is now set to a day, that is 24 hrs and on phone restart.

OK, thanks. Let me know when the update is out, will you? I appreciate it!
