Immersive mode is cool, I have Navbar disappearing after a few seconds which is cool, its just that the swiping up from the bottom of the screen is quite imprecise, sometimes opening up one of the dock apps, so I was wondering if any launcher (in the gesture settings) has the option to bring up the navbar with a double tap? Nova has many options for double tap but showing the navbar is not one (I have written to them to add it to the gestures as it would be a great addition) but in the interim I was wondering if any launcher had the double tap to show navbar as an option, or if anyone has any other solution. I love the screen without the navbar but bringing up the navbar with the normal swipe up from bottom is not the most convenient or precise imho.

On the Iphone theres is this nice library called activator when you are jailbroken. You can assign various multitouch gestures (globally) on the device. For example: Launch an application by swiping the top statusbar left-to-right. Open the mp3-player-popup by swiping down the statusbar. You can assign the various gestures for when you are on the lockscreen, or on the homescreen, or you can choose global activation for the different gestures.
On GalaxyS theres this nice app called GalaxyTuner. There are already multitouch gestures implemented where you can remap hardwarebuttons to.
For example: swipe statusbar left to right ->volume up
swipe statusbar right to left ->volume down
So I'm basically looking for an app to launch different things/access different settings. I asked the developer of galaxytuner if he could implement that things are launched with multitouch gestures globally. He said he could but he wouldn't...sadly....
So would anyone like to give it a shot ?
Would be nice to access some task switcher applications by just swiping the statusbar from left to right or to access the wifi settings, or to launch quickdesk(a seperate widget layer where you could place a mp3 player control widget, so when you are in an application you could switch tracks without leaving the application)
Hey,
I am running stock 4.2.2 with nova prime launcher.
I use the DashClock on my home screen and gestures for my three main uses
( Swipe down to expand notifications, Swipe up for GoogleNow and Double Tap for App Drawer.)
As my DashClock takes up the full screen the Widget blocks gestures from working. Is it possible to have gestures still work 100% Over this widget?
Second question is with LightFlow (Purchased) quite often the light is flashing with no notifactions present. So i normally do a search through the common apps i use to check for notifications to dismiss lightflow. But now and then i can't locate what the notification is.
What is the best way around this? Or is this just lightflow?
Thanks
Hello. Am using the Galaxy S4 with Apex Launcher Pro on it. Love both of them pretty much. But there was this 1 thing that annoys me. Whenever I set swipe down feature to toggle my status bar / show my notifications, all the widgets on my screen will move downwards when the status bar is being toggled. It's kinda annoying seeing my widgets move out of positions. I am using 4.1.2 stock JB and the show notification bar option doesn't work. When I swipe down, it only toggles my status bar instead of bringing the whole notification bar down. Are there any apps that would enable or show my notification bar without moving the widgets? Thanks in advance.
? Don't you get the notifications bar when you swipe down from the top of the screen - I mean without down swipe enabled in Apex. Used Apex for ages and never known this not to function

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I hide the notification bar. Does it work only when the notification bar is not hide? I've tried this on another phone it works and the notification is also hidden. I just swipe down with gestures and the bar expands. It happens in Nova Launcher too...
Hello,
I am currently using AOKP and I love the swipe to the right ribbon control for the dock to appear but the problem is that i'd prefer it at the bottom but you cant do this while the nav bar is there (which i leave and make transparent).
I tried to accomplish this with NOVA prime by making the swipe up gesture toggle the dock. The only problem is that I have to swipe it again for the dock to go back away. I would prefer to set a timeout for it to go back hidden.
I was wondering if anyone knew of another app/feature were i could swipe up, or another similar gesture, and have a dock appear. Then after a few seconds have it go hidden again (timeout) without losing the NAV bar?
thanks in advance. I'll be happy to clarify if this is confusing.
So I tried the GMD app and it does all I want it to do except 'timeout'. As the touchpads stay until you open an app or click on the home screen.
Hey guys ... I dont know if anyone else already posted about this, but u can use lgs double to switch off screen in nova launcher by just tapping the notification area twice.
Have fun
Yes sir, tap twice on notification bar.
I use GMD gesture swipe up on corner top work well
Download the free app "Screen off" from the Playstore and assign it as gesture in Nova settings.
If you have paid nova launcher version you can assign double tap on screen gesture to hibernate+screen lock (greenify). Works perfect for me.
Also, the double tap on status bar to lock works within every app.
I created a task and assign it on double tap
