Hi @RemixOS_Jason
'Gaming toolkit' app doesn't show up even when i enable key mapping from settings.
It only show up if i enable app from root terminal. (pm command doesn't work in termux too)
and if i want to disable it,it needs me to use terminal again. The switch at Settings doesn't work for me at all.

Your last 2 versions of remix was so bombed
My gtx 970 worked on previous versions before that
My wifi worked on previous versions before that

May June releases just needed vsync sorted on nvidia gpu's

Hi

Can this experimental tool simulate swipe gestures yet ?



Nice feature , it's already working good
Just a li'l time and i'm sure we'll have something for the swipe gestures too

Thnx for all the hard-work , Remix team

Needs a gesture mapping

Please update the OS so that it can map swipes to keyboard....I really need it for playing games.....and the experimental pinch works fine on internet browsers and messaging apps..but does not work on my games...

If your'e using the latest version of remix os on pc, there should be on the desktop...maybe find it on application manager...but the gaming tool kit should popped out when your'e playing ur game

 

[Eason85]

This feature doesn't seem to be baked into the version of Remix OS 3 for Pixel C.

I am using the latest version of Remix OS on my Toshiba Laptop, but "Gaming Toolkit" is not popping out when i play games.

[dasuke07]

Hmm maybe a bug..try to open it while the game is open...

1. can you try to run the game in the full screen mode? click the left top button next to back button.
2. which game are you trying to play?

Yes, i was trying to run games in the full screen mode, but it does not help - i do not see anywhere gaming toolkit - it is not popping up and keymapping is turned on in experimental tools. I have installed the latest version of Remix OS 32-b on my Toshiba Laptop. I was trying many games, but there is no gaming toolkit when i play:
Dragon Slayer
Blood & Gloory
Beast Quest
Frontline Commando WW2
Traffic Rider

 

[SanketMohapatra]

Please consider upating ur gaming tolkit as it is not initiating while the game is being played.Additionally make a separate link or forum to submit to report the keymapping techniques.

Instead of mapping individual game please add emulator style keymapping controls so that different users could map the shortcuts ccording to their own needs.

You can sort of make swipe movements if you make the direction pad slightly large

Hi after you have enable in "experimental features", you have to go to App Drawer and click "Gaming Toolkit" app
