gestures . For the moment I stayed silent because I didn’t know what to say. But when I came home, all I had in mind was to research on how to get those damn gestures on my Android tablet. It only took me a few minutes to discover an app called GMD Gesture Control using which one could get iPad or iOS like gestures on Android smartphones and tablets. The only requirement to use the app was that the device should be rooted. Frankly speaking, the soul reason I rooted my Samsung Note 10.1 was because I wanted to use GMD Gesture Control on it. Cool Tip: Windows 8 users, did you know you can get Mac like Touchpad gestures? Mac users, you already know them but you should also try customizing them.
GMD Gesture Control for Android
GMD Gesture Control comes in two versions: Lite and Pro. The only difference between the two versions is that in the latter you can create your personal gestures while in the former you will have to use some of the default gestures provided by the developer. In the article, we will be talking about the Pro version though. After the app is initialized, you can go ahead and start using the gestures that it provides. If the app has some problem in understanding your gestures, you can fix it from the Advanced tab. The app comes with a launchpad which automatically records the last apps you used on your device, which could be then popped over any app to quickly start another one. Some of the gestures you can try on your tablet are As I already mentioned, the pro version also supports custom gestures but adding a new one is not as easy as it is to add a new gesture in other apps. Instead of drawing the gestures, you will have to manually input the values of touch and the type of gesture you would perform with your fingers. It took me a few minutes to understand how to add a gesture and I think if you try hard, you will be able to pull it off. You can also disable these gestures on specific apps (games like Temple Run) to avoid confusion.
Conclusion
After installing GMD gesture control when I joined my friends over a coffee, I not only showed them how I could use iPad like gestures on my Android but also how I could add new personal gestures they can’t even think of integrating on their iPad.
