if you gays already rooted the device ,then must use
gmd spen control
and gmd gesture control.
its not free app, but it deserve the price.
(or can find on google).
the most valueable thing is disable finger touch

I used to love GMD and still use it, but on the Note I'm relying more on LMT for gestures.
I have two issues with GMD:
The finger and pen versions keep track separately of the recent applications used, which causes problems if you use the Prev App/Next App functions with mixed input.
The pen version lacks the option to prevent other applications to register touch in the gestures starting zones. Combined with the lack of a navigation bar on the Note, this makes impossible to use my favorite gesture, an horizontal swipe on the bottom of the screen to switch apps.
So I'm using LMT pie controls for two reasons. I have the Home, Recent Apps, and Alt+Tab functions on the pie dial, since I don't like pressing the hardware button especially with the pen.
I'd have liked to use the Prev/Next apps functions on the pie as well, but they work unbelievably on LMT. Still the pie will prevent other apps to register touch on its starting zones, and doesn't interfere with GMD, so putting it at the bottom of the screen also allowed me to do the horizontal swipe gesture with the pen without interferences.

sorry for asking, but what about other orientations?
for custom or AOSP type rom, this is great to get SPen gesture back.

Rather than using soft keys, a rather elegant and simple solution would be to use gestures to emulate the missing hardware buttons. You could have a program that runs in the background and attempts to detect a 3-finger swipe for "back" and perhaps a 4-finger tap for the "menu". This method would even work for full-screen apps. Does such an app exist?
Currently the software on the nook only recognizes two fingers, so those specific gestures are out for now.
However I saw someone mention that running your finger right to left across the status bar in 1.2 stock works as a "back" gesture

Well, I'm talking about a general Android app running on a rooted NC and not the preloaded software. It would have to be a low-level program that would intercept all touch-screen activity and detect if any of the selected gestures were performed. If not, then pass the touchscreen activity to the currently running app.

It was that way in the older versions too. Pretty cool trick.
After Murdock's mod, softkeys are pretty nice.
there is an app called zmooth on the market.
zmooth rocks! Been using it for a while. Just made is very slim, and I put it on the bottom of the screen. Works great!

Funny thing is, that's in the manual
And it works for any non-full screen app on stock. I use Zeam on stock (never touch the home launcher), but the B&N status bar is always there anyway. As long as it's not full screen, you can use the right-to-left swipe to go back.
Well guys, I love how our screen looks without the navbar, from one time I love Pie but from the use I realize that when typing (Swype Keyboard) some times the pie activated....and is kind of annoying.
So I found an app to manage the phone with gesture, do you have any advice how to setup ´pie or I should go for this app?.
Cheers and thanks for any help.
I am using PIE on the top-right side of my N4, so I can use it with one hand.
No doubt most users are happy using the standard capacitive and home keys to navigate their tablet but there are definitely more ways than one to get around and I thought it would be interesting to share our ideas and preferences that make using this (and other) tablet quick and easy.
I read and edit documents a lot so most of the time I prefer to have the tablet in portrait mode. I find the capacitive keys annoying as they are always get touched unintentionally by myself and especially when handing the tablet to someone else when trying to show them something.
So I decided to disable them by editing the generic.kl file in system/user/keylayout and putting an # before keys 139 & 158 then rebooting.
To the replace those keys I use GMD gesture control with some simple and easy to use gestures.
Pretty difficult to show exactly how well this works but first a screenshot showing the gestures paths and action. Dots are the fingers and lines the path they take.
And a video..... I put this together in a hurry so it looks pretty clunky. Recording video over ADB makes it look pretty slow too.

Quick Search and Lux are two other apps that I can highly recommend........ Rotation Lock is just a simple tasker task that uses the Ultimate Rotation app/plugin. Swiping rotation lock simply toggles between auto 0, 90, 180, 270 and swiping again locks in the desired orientation.

Thanks for this! I LOVE GMD - very snappy and hitting the capacitive buttons while reading was driving me nuts.

No probs and yeh GMD is definitely handy.
If anyone is having trouble with the way GMD functions with certain apps or in general tweak some of the advanced and touch consumption settings and you should be able to get it working flawlessly.

Good point - I had to do the screen calibration (super easy) in order to get the swipe from borders to work.
I agree though - I am surprised at how responsive this app is. How have I not been using this!?!
Hi, most phones I've used have a menu button which you can long-press to pop open/closed the software keyboard, which is invaluable for searching/filtering menus and lists, or checking under the keyboard for text/UI that's hidden by it... this was an important compromise for a software keyboard since you can't access it any other way if you can't open it.
The S5 doesn't have a menu button, and long-pressing the other buttons doesn't open the keyboard. What gives? Is there any way to get this functionality back or reprogram the buttons? or am I just stuck without a keyboard when the device doesn't want to open one for me, and stuck with one when it does?

Most phones don't have that feature, so you are just missing a feature that you like that happened to be on your previous phones.
The S5 will auto open the keyboard whenever you are in an app or editable line where text can be typed. I gind that that works just fine. You could remap a hardware key with an app like xposed. You can probably assign that function to the floating toolbox. Or use one of the myriad third party apps to pull up the keyboard from a swiping gesture. Or in many other ways.
The S5 menu can be pulled up in most screens by a long press on the recent key i.e. the softkey to the left of the home button.
.
Where do you need a keyboard besides of when the system opens it for you if you have to write something down?

Hmm, a swiping gesture seems like it might be a halfway workable solution. I really don't like the toolbox or the swipe in/out menus though. They just get in the way of interacting with the UI in normal ways. Unfortunately there is no workable way for me to root this device for me to use xposed.

lists, menus, app drawer, etc... anywhere you want to filter or jump to an entry by typing, like you would in a desktop OS.

But this isn't a desktop OS. It is an OS running on a device that has a very constrained amount of physical space. If you don't like the design decisions and tradeoffs, then knock yourself out customizing your phone.
Nevertheless the design works very well for the vast majority of users. If you always want ready access to a keyboard, you should consider getting a physical, RF or bluetooth keyboard.

Believe me, I would sell my firstborn son to the robot devil for a modern android with a decent physical keyboard... It just happens that nobody makes one.
But that's besides the point. I'm talking about functionality of the soft keyboard, and UX in general. It would be much better if I could open the keyboard when I want to, and that's what I want to do.
Why do it that way when you can just use Multi window and add a shortcut to every app using Multi window manager and all you do is long press the back key and you've got all your shortcuts.
Since I am using full screen mode on MIUI 11 system launcher, I have this issue with my GBoard in apps like WhatsApp, i write a response to message then I have to swipe right to hide keyboard and swipe again to finally go back. It really annoys me.
Swiftkey keyboard have this gesture but I didn't get used to it. Swiftkey is not effective compared to GBoard I think.
I also tried the GMD Gestures but couldn't assign Gestures on system apps.
Thanks for your help.

Yeah, Android does it in general, to swipe back you first hide the keyboard. Maybe I'm wrong though
