Amazing work brother, works like a charm, just a little problem, when I link the camera app with "C" gesture, it does open but it by-passes the pattern lock too so anyone can now open the pattern lock by drawing C while the screen is off, so could you do something so that if the user drew C , it opens camera and then if home key or back key was pressed, it would get back to the pattern lock screen?

Hey... I am not a yureka user.. But app looks really good please add support for other devices running cm or aosp and also instructions for developers what changes to be made while compiling custom kernel to make this app compatible..
You may publish it on playstore too :)

Bro, can we use these gestures to open apps of our choice?
Or we can only use the mentioned apps with gestures.

Great Work, very promising
This works very well. however i would like to note down some observations
1. I keep getting geXture started toast every now and then
2. You need to launch the application once every reboot. (in spite of allowing autostart at the beginning)
3. The app list should be alphabetical order as pointed out earlier by Ashish earlier.
4. Single tap and long on physical home button seems to stop working when this app is active. Double tap works..
5. Long press on menu does not work.

I am on stock CM12

Would this have an impact on the battery and if yes how significant?

and last but not the least the OP should make it clear that SELinux mode has to be permissive for this app to work. i uninstalled it once because i thought it was not working:D

Great app however needs improvement

First of all I would like to appreciate the efforts behind this app.
Secondly I would like to point out a bug in this.
As it requires root, if gesture is supplied to a locked device with secure lockscreen enabled, it surpasses it to open the app or perform the task. And moreover few apps like swiftkey (keyboard) do not provide full functionality with such unlock.

Eg : -
1. Set some gesture to open Whatsapp.
2. Set a secure lockscreen.
3. Set Swiftkey as main keyboard. (Enable gesture typing)
4. Lock phone.
5. Provide whatsapp opening gesture.
Bug - You won't be able to use gesture typing unless you lock your phone, stay on lock screen, unlock your phone by providing unlock code. After then only gesture typing can be done.

I believe there is a counter set in apps like swiftkey that check whether lockscreen secure, then do not allow gesture as it may allow a user to identify the password (Which I believe could be the case and if so it is good).
Proposed Solution : I believe before unlocking and opening the app, you would need to take the user to secure lockscreen page and then only allow opening the app. As if someone else comes to know the gesture of any app it would become a security breach.

I am not an android developer, but I can help you with testing and some use cases. :)

Cheers !! :p :D
