what device/rom are you using?, might be something to do with your ROM. I never have to restart the app on my phone, gestures have been working without any issue even after flashing multiple ROM's (eeping user data).
I'm using HD2 with Ultimate Droid 3.2.0, I've had some issues with apps previously, but clearing Dalvik's cache helped. After I cleared it second time ever today morning, menu gesture worked once, after that only home gesture is working properley. I might consider getting pro version if I were sure it will work fine :)

you can try going into settings and restart the service and don't change any any other settings in zMooth and see if it works. If it stops working again after few minutes then your ROM has some issue. The back and menu gesture require "SU" to be working, home gesture doesn't need SU, that's why it's working all the time.

Ideally you never need to restart the service (maybe once if it shows a message to restart when you configure height and width initially).

I did as you say, the fact is that program is not working well. But another fact is that I like it so much that I'll keep it on my device anyway and expect that some updates will make it work soon. Even the home gesture itself is helping a lot, I use this button the most :).

Good work :windroidHD. I'm waiting for updates :) Good luck with your projects and thanks for help

I'm also having problems after redownloading. Olny ^ gesture works correctly. The "back" gesture worked for me only once, for the time I've been using this app. Other gestures no matter how I swipe them wont work. Superuser permission had been given correctly both times.

Anyway, this is a great idea for an application, I'm hoping it will work correctyl and will save my hardware buttons.
I'm having exactly the same problem as you. Though im using Rafdroid's Desire HD rom 4.0.2

i was going to post feedback

But everyone beat me to it. The only other thing I can think of is to be able to move it to different areas. Its a great app I bought the full version but I'm going back to the free one because it doesn't seem to do the 10-20 height change. I will keep the subscription though I don't want a refund.

Its a great app I see this being an HD2 staple if you continue to update it.:)

It depends on what task killer You are using, and whether it has auto killing feature. I tried Advanced Task Killer and Adao Task Killer, with and without autokillnig, and I managed being able to use menu gesture once every time I restart the zMooth service. But that can't be called a real achivement and feedback :p

I don't use one and it actually isn't recommended to use an automatic task killer on Android.

I pushed update for Pro version to fix the height issue.

for other's where back and menu are not working on rafdroid, ultimate droid.

Edit:Seems like some people got it working on HyperDroid and UltimateDroid.

For anyone else interested in the pro version, it comes with the ability to lock screen, and to customize the width and height and color of the activation area.

Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Sometimes I notice a slight delay of 2-3 seconds before the software responds to my gesture.

Using HD2 with Typhoon's CM7. Anybody facing the same issue?

I've made a full wipe, left only partinion layout and flashed lates ultimate droid 3.2.5. zMooth works just fine :). But now I can't add widgets of eg facebook, tajm or current widget on main screen. I don't get this UD, really.

But zMooth works well for now

Works fine on HyperDroid.
Less options but more user friendly than 'softkey' or 'button savior'.
Sometimes a little delay between gesture and action.
The possibility to open the list of recent/running apps with a gesture would be terrific :)
Great job.

If it's happening all the time then there might be a issue with app working with your ROM. If it's happening intermittently then your device might be doing something else in the background when you are performing gesture.

zMooth will NOT use any CPU when it's idle, it uses CPU only when you are performing a gesture. There is no background code which will run when you are not using it.
