You could start by posting in the right section.
Then add a link to the feature you're requesting.

Im not a dev so i cant do it but here are some possible work arounds. You could assign take screenshot to one of the gestures in Apex Launcher so pinching in or two finger swipe would do it. Or I have it assigned in my navbar ring (i think most JB ROMS have this) its close to a gesture I just swipe up from the navbar and it takes a screen cap. Hope that at least gives you something similar until you can work out a real port.

Thanks for actually replying with helpful information! I'm new to xda sorta so when it comes to certain things I am completely lost, as I'll try your work around method! Still wondering if a port is possible

Not sure our phones are set up to constantly scan for gestures.

Hi guys...
I dont know how many of you are annoyed with the way u ''multi task'' or bring ''recent apps'' in S3.. im certainly...
I feel ''pressing and Holding the home button'' for a while makes me think its a lllllllloooooooooooonnnnnnggggg time... so being lazy & impatient i came up with an idea....
:good: why cant Samsung or Someone could use the gesture "SWIPE UP FROM THE ""BOTTOM EDGE"" OF THE DISPLAY" to bring up the recent apps screen? Just like the way we bring down the notification bar from TOP EDGE of the display
Logically I want the device to look for the initial value of Y=0 on the screen to enable this gesture
We all know there is enough gap between the HOME BUTTON and the BOTTOM EDGE of the display?
Kindly say what do you think about this ? A request to Senior Members of the forum to make this idea reach the Samsung Engineers please.. Thank you
Can't be implemented until there is some hardware change.

When the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update hits soon, that gesture will activate Google Now.
hm.why dont implement it with gestures+siyah kernel (link)
but instead of swiping above the hardware button,swipe on the bottom of the screen to up.

I set that gesture on nova launcher prime. If I Swype up from the app drawer icon it opens recent apps so I don't have to press the home button to see recent apps!
Hope it helps!

He's looking for gestures on the small area between screen and the hardware home key. That's not possible because the screen doesn't have touch sensitivity there.

I think is verry possible considering swiping from very top downwards on any app in the sgs3 brings down notifications.

Well that may interfere with functionality of a few apps. This could be implemented though.

You will not need Samsung engineers for this. If it attracts any kernel developer here then that's all you need. Try gokhan or Franco.

If you use Nova launcher prime you can set up gestures. I just tested it I set a two finger swipe up to show recent apps and it works like a charm
Edit not sure it works when any app has the focus but it does work when on the homescreen

Since this is going to be my first phone with on screen buttons which I consider a stupid idea I am wondering what can we go with this back bar embeded at the bottom of the screen, Can we make it smaller?, will it be removed in games? Can we add extra buttons or ever widgets to it? Maybe ever make it pages so when you swipe over it it will reveal a rss feed or something. Any ideas on what can be done to make it helpful rather than a hinderance

Once custom roms start rolling out you will be able to change the DPI of the bar.
AOKP i expect will support this feature as they do in current JB Roms
Why don't you like them? I think they're great.

But that's the beauty of Android. We can choose whether they're always shown or not.

If you cam code you can do whatever you want with it, even turn it pink!
Edit: Beware, this is the devil's post
One thing is really great on every ipad:
Exit every app by grabbing the screen with 5 fingers.
Is that also possible on a Nexus 7?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I don't see why not...
With "Show Touches" and "Pointer Location" activated, it is possible to register five fingers at once.
I got to ten, but ran out of things to touch it with
Definitely possible, just need someone to develop an app for it
Peace,

possible, but if i may ask... isnt pressing the home button much easier/efficient? lol

Knock On works on the customer roms and Knock Off can be done by the following, use either Apex or Nova as your launcher and set the launcher up that a double tab executes the app from the link below and Knock Off will work from any where on the home screen.

im running cm 10.2 as of now.. my suggestion to you is to download screen off... the icon is a black and grayish power button... if you dont use the swipe up from the home button that much for google now, when downloaded you can replace the default so when swiping up from the home button it turns off your screen! its what im using right now and i like it because it works everywhere, even the lockscreen! , also you can do the same thing routing the same app to a double tap feature on apex/nova launcher if you like the knock itself, but as far as just turning off your device when its flat down, this is my solution hope it helped!
"Knock Off" can also be implemented by using GMD Gesture Control and defining a screen off gesture (e. g. swiping down with 3 or 4 fingers). Has the added advantage that it works everywhere, regardless whether you are in the launcher or in any app. Use that on my Tablet Z very successfully.

I do not think there is a "Knock" sound. It is what happens with the gesture of tapping on the screen twice.

HI, I'm scissors_cut_paper. I have recently taken a disliking to sacrificing my home screen real estate for a dock. I am currently using slimkat, which has the ability to assign a long press function and custom icon to navbar buttons. To that end, I have created some dual use navbar icons, based on stock kitkat, but representing both functions of the navbar key. Now i'm no themer, but paint.net is pretty easy to use. If anyone has good ideas or request I may entertain them, though I would recommend having a play yourself.
To set these keys/icons in slimkat use settings/navigation/navigation bar/buttons.
The current icons I have made are-
Notification pulldown/longpress Quicksettings (Never reach for the top of your screen again)
Back/longpress kill app
Home/longpress application draw
Recents/longpress menu
Filemanager/longpress ?
Download - https://www.dropbox.com/sh/v9sz5sco0bdrue0/f_9QvTcLcT
All credits to slim for implementing the functionality, all i did was make some buttons.
Video of implementing (not everyone will need this, took me a while to figure it out though) http://youtu.be/ist7kSStb9k
Video in use - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv88dWqbkcQ
want to share your wallpaper pl0x?
No problem

YouTube link added in OP. Can do a quick video of how to implement (in slimkat, anyway) if anyone needs? Also did some cleanup, changed file explorer icon to better match stock theme.

Still trying to figure out what I want to do with my ring.I've got shortcuts set up in the QS, combined with the pulldown button in navbar means they appear right above where your finger already is.
