Has anyone tried to find a way to change the recent apps button to Menu button? I think that it is more convenient and the recent apps could pop up with long press of the button.
No, because no one would want that (well, besides LG).
I guess you can root and use a navbar editor app and change it yourself.

You need to be rooted.
1. Install Xposed Framework from here for Android 4.2 http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk ,
Here for android 4.3/4.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48484642 ,
2. Inside Xposed, install and enable GravityBox,
3. Open GravityBox, under Navigation Bar Tweaks, enable Master Switch,
4. Click back and search Navigation Key Actions,
5. Under Recent Key, you can change Single Tap action to "Show Menu",
Long Press action to "Recent apps",
6. Reboot, Done!
Thanks for the reply.
I have already tried that but with kitkat version of gravitybox cause I am on GPe rom but it does not work. Have you tried that with jb version and it works for you?

Install softkeyZ APP go to install directory in sdcard then collection select the icon you want change and rename it to MENU or any key you want then select the key from the app ...........ALL DONE..........
I am not sure I understood what you proposed to do.
Although I tried it but the only thing I managed to change is the icons only, not their function.

I am on stock 4.3 and works perfectly. Not sure about GPe 4.4.
Other apps suchas softkeyz, UDN, GMD softkey, LMT launcher,... are all overlapping with keyboard when typing.
BTW, should press thanks button instead of saying it
GravityBox definitely works for remapping keys on a 4.3 rom ~ not sure about 4.4. I know xposed doesn't play nicely with ART, are you running dalvik or ART (if art that may be causing the issues).

Yeap, my rom is ART compatible, so maybe this is the problem.
EDIT: Solution found in gravitybox forum... I had to enable master switch in Navigation bar tweaks!
Case closed!

Good. I edited my post about that.
Gravitybox can even exchange the place of Back and Menu key. I came from Samsung phone and I am used to the Back key at the right side

Is it possible to remove this swipe up gesture? When i uninstall Greenify and hold home button and swipe up, the circle doesnt come up.However when i install greenify and do the swipe up gesture the circle thing comes up. I really dont like that.
oasisfeng said he will add a feature where it will do nothing in the next update but can u just remove this swipe up thing completely so that i dont see the circle thing?

Many users use this gesture, so I can't just remove this feature. I'm considering a way to satisfy both of you, but not yet figured out. (I don't want to just add another confusing setting)
Version 2.4.2 beta1 now available on Playstore adds a "nothing". @oasisfeng has delivered! Please check it.

EDIT:resolved
I talked about the beta. Not the final version. The final version of 2.4.2 will be up on the Playstore after the release of many betas and after @oasisfeng tweaks them based on the feedback. The present stable version is 2.4.1.
Anyway, what is your problem in downloading what you want from the Playstore?
Now 2.4.2 final version is available in Playstore. You can download it from there.
Hi,
fist- I use non-rooted mode, second - I use Nova Prime launcher under Gesture swipe up I added Hibernation + lock screen.
After last update Hibernation + lockscreen don't work when I swipe up. Before I works flawlessly.
Not with even shortcut button on home screen. It starts working after I just use Hibernation shortcut button or hibernate apps in Greenify. Then It works some time and then again stop working.
any solution?

thanks, It works now. :good:
Background
I am using HTC-E8. The power button is on the top of device which is difficult to turn screen off by using its power button. So I write this mod to let me turn of screen by just swipe up from home button
Function
This mod allow you swipe up from home button to turn off your screen.
Since swipe up from home button normally will trigger Google Now. This mod default will disable this gesture for trigger Google Now. However, you can have an option to enable Google Now by long press the home button.
Notes:
1. You must reboot your device to make your preference take effect.
2. I only test it on my HTC-E8 device with HTC Sense 6.0
Changes History:
2015-04-27 v0.83
1. Fix package name issues while download from Xposed repository
2. Add a function to completely disable "Google Now"
3. Add function on turning the threshold for triggering "Google Now"

Great work!!
Will test this module for sure~
If Dev can consider on including this swipe up gesture to run other actions or shortcuts will be even more fantastic!
Thanks for the great module!
It works but the threshold is too short, very easy to accidentally tutn off screen. Therrs no swiping up animation like woth google now but i just press on the home button a little longer than usual then the screen turns off. Please implement the now-like popup and ability to adjust threshold
"Package name is incorrect" on Xposed repository (aka can't download from xposed app)
I would also like to see the ability to change the threshold before screen turns off, and adding some kind of visual, whether it's Google's own one or a custom one, would be nice.
For me it works by swiping up on the home, menu, app drawer and back buttons on my LG G3. I like it that way since it's easier to toggle the screen off.
Nice module I believe the same thing can be achieved with greenify which lets you default "hibernate and lock" to the swipe up shortcut. You don't need xposed for that.

Well I dislike that greenify always locks the phone and I only want my screen turned off. With greenify it always prompts me to enter my unlock pattern and ignores Googles smart lock and for this is an annoyance.
But with this module it works like a charm.

Alright I did not know greenify disables smart unlock.
It disables only Googles smart lock but not the app smart unlock ^^

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?

bug: i dont know everybody is facing or not.
using gesture go to app.
now go to home and now you can not go to recent panel. to go to recent panel have to lock device and unlock it now you can go to recent panel
Does this work with andriod 5.1
what about stock os?
Is this app not installable in stock os that has been now updated to lollipop using official download(upgrade)?
What can be done for this situstion?:angel:
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
Doesn't work
@gohel.vishal
I am a YUser,I have got CM12 & Thunderzap kernal installed!This tool is not working,it just takes me to the lock-screen after any gesture i.e. it only wakes yureka up.
Hi,
I am also on YU stock ROM and kernel but getting FC on invoking the gesture.
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 !!
Little bugs
Swipe no working on SwiftKey after installing it... .
I think u have stopped working on this app....

Does youphoria have double tap?
I FOUND A WAY!
Okay, so for this you need:
Magisk
Xposed for Magisk (possibly also works with normal Xposed)
UnrestrictedGetTasks module found in Xposed Installer
The Apk at the bottom of the first post (Credits to in.abhi9) installed in /system/priv-app (just pop it in any magisk module you have installed in the same folders, so ./system/priv-app/theapk.apk).
a fingerprint gestures app like this that can launch shortcuts or tasker tasks.
using Tasker: In Tasker you need to create two tasks each containing the "run shell" action (they need root). In the first you put "am start in.abhi9.apphistory/in.abhi9.recentswipo.SwipeLeftActivity" and in the second "am start in.abhi9.apphistory/in.abhi9.recentswipo.SwipeRightActivity"
finally link left- and right swipes from the Fingerprint Gestures app to the correct tasker tasks and Bob's your uncle.
using shortcuts: you will need a launcher like nova or action launcher that can launch app activities. In the fingerprint gestures app, select shortcuts, nova/action activities, Recentswipo, and then SwipeLeftActivity and SwipeRightActivity accordingly.
enjoy superior app switching!
Of course you can map any trigger to the tasks you created, they don't have to be fingerprint swipes. I suppose screen swipe gestures can come in handy too!
Original post:
The latest Lenovo Zuk phones have an amazing feature (named U-touch) that let's users swipe their fingerprint scanner to switch apps. This is not just the switch-to-last-app feature we had since Nougat, but it remembers the app-order. Here are two video's to demonstrate what I mean:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS-LSoraPZg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sYf4H8yMHw
It seems like the fastest way ever to switch between open apps and as I like to multitask a lot (between more than 2 apps) I'm looking for an app, mod, module, Tasker profile, whatever, to make this happen. It doesn't really matter if it uses the fingerprint scanner (using the Oreo fingerprint gestures api) or if we have to swipe over our navigation bar. Does such a thing exist at all?

One thing I really miss about my z2 force was being able to lock the phone with the fingerprint scanner can you use this with tasker to make that happen?

Yes you can, tasker can already do that with "system lock" (however that disables the use of the fingerprint reader on the lock screen).
Are you rooted? Then you can simply create a task with a shell command (with root enabled) "input keyevent POWER", that will emulate a power button press. If you like you can then execute that task from the fingerprint gestures app

Nice! I tried that as well but the recent apps wouldn't be loaded due to Google removing the ActivityManager.getRecentTasks() command in AOSP, are you perhaps running a custom rom?
I also found out you can just run GMD gestures to go to the previous and next app without xposed (but with root) either with gestures or with the fingerprint swipe mapped to a gmd shortcut

If you open the fingerprint gestures app and assign a shortcut to a certain swipe, select the gmd shortcuts from the list, application, next/previous app respectively.
I however still use the xposed version as it can reach the homescreen using swipes (similar to the Zuk) instead of cycling the opened apps and the animation is smoother.

Those were the exact steps I took, but for some reason after I select "next/previous app" it just returns to the list of shortcuts instead of registering the shortcut with the gesture. However, I'm going to give the xposed version a try after your insight about the animation being smoother. I'm all for smoother animations! :good: Thanks again for your help.

Oh that's odd, oh well... You'll probably enjoy Xposed, I haven't used it since Marshmallow due to it lacking behind, so it's fun to be able to use it again (go Gravitybox)! And I don't even notice a performance hit at all (which I was worried about), the only downside is the safety net, but hey, Android Pay isn't available here anyway.

If you use systemless Xposed for Magisk you can just disable the module and reboot to pass Safety Net. Works for all my banking apps and Android Pay :good:
Thank you for showing this awesome feature!
How exactly do you install it as system app? Is it even necessary? I was successful just installing the apk as normal app and then using Nova launcher.
Tried using the tasker method but the finger gesture app kept crashing even though the Tasker tasks seemed to work when testing inside Tasker.

It's probably crashing because it's isn't a system app yet. The easiest way to make it a system app is using a systemizer module in magisk (I believe it uses terminal emulator when it's installed, it's explained in the module description anyway). Or you could do it the "cheating" way and put the apk in your root directory /magisk/(a module)/system/priv-app/RecentSwipo/RecentSwipo.apk
Installing to priv-app wont work, app wont appear. Installing it to /system/app or simply install the apk work though. Although if it installed as user app, the service might be killed in the background.
GMD Solution wont work, the Fingerprint Swipe app unable to assign the proper shortcut. I think the problem is with the GMD.
