Has anyone discovered some way to make the stylus coexist peacefully with this app? First I used the app with the tablet gesture group enabled but any time I used the stylus while resting my hand on the screen, I triggered gestures. Then I tried switching between to the phone gesture group but it just ignores all stylus input while my palm is on the screen.

Omg yes I hope someone has a solution! I posted a similar question last week but it didn't have any success.
My only temporary fix is to set GMD to pause when i'm using a spen specific app (like lecturenotes).
My current solution is to use the GMD SPen Controls app at the same time as regular GMD Gesture Control. The SPen app has a gesture that disables all finger touch input, so when I'm using my SPen, my palm doesn't trigger any GMD multi-touch gestures.
At first, I tried to create a gesture that would pause GMD, but immediately I realized...then you can't gesture again to unpause it. Everytime I would have to reopen the app and go through the hassle of unpausing. Right now, the GMD SPen method works the best for me since usually, if I'm using the SPen, most likely I won't need my fingers. The GMD SPen app has gestures for Alt+Tab, switching apps, home screen, etc.
W At first said:
Create a custom pause gesture. When you do that, there's an option to select the gesture to work even when GMD is paused. Let me know if you need full directions and I can type them up.
Though the idea of using the spen GMD is also interesting...

You can also set GMD to pause when a certain app is open, and it un pauses when the app closes.
EDIT: just tried it with Spen GMD, and it totally works great!

Where do you find that option in GMD???
EDIT: Just saw the previous post, and I'll experiment more with GMD...but SPen control is nice because it prevents absolutely any random touches. Sometimes my palm makes little dots while handwriting.
Swipe up with 4 fingers = pause GMD. That's my solution so far and it works pretty good.
I've read that you can use Tasker to automatically disable GMD when the stylus is out. But for me having a gesture is good enough.
You need tasker, gmd gesture control, gmd spen control, note buddy, and secure settings plugin for tasker.
Set up your gmd gestures for the pen and finger input. And a manual way to pause or unpause gmd touch gestures (make sure to set this to work even when gmd gesture control is paused it needs to be a little complex to prevent accidental activation when writing with the pen) then turn on note buddy. After inital activation this app serves as a tasker plugin allowing tasker to determine when the pen is inserted or removed. So it goes like this
Task should be activated by a state-plugins-note buddy (configure it for pen removed.
Then the task performed will also be under plugins-secure settings (this plugin allows tasker to access things like settings toggles and such and more importantly right here shortcuts to applications actions.) Select app shortcuts in secure settings and then choose gmd gesture control. It will list the various actions available. You want to choose under gmd actions pause/unpause gestures.
Set an exit task with the only difference being the note buddy is configured to exit the task on detection of pen insertion.
I slaved over tasker trying to figure this out lol. Hope you guys can use it too. I'll be pretty surprised if nobody else has done this yet though. You can configure tasker with further parameters if you want. Im sure that it can be made more accurate. If the screen goes off while the pen is out gmd unpauses itself. Thats why I said to create a pause unpause finger gesture and you may occasionally feel the need to use a finger gesture instead of the pen ones you have created. I find pen control to be generally less useful than gesture control but I use both.

that only pauses by app. Keyboards and action note won't trigger a pause. And pausing and unpausing every time its not right gets annoying fast. The biggest issue is like with stylus beta you cant write with gmd on. This way any time you remove the pen it will pause automatically.

I've been looking for a way to multitask more easily than holding down Home, which i find a bit uncomfortable.
After trying wave launcher, Home2, and many other multitaking-ap switching etc. apps, I've now found a solution that I like, and thought I'd share with you all.
What this solutions allows, is that you swipe your finger from the bottom of the screen and up, and the default multitasking bar appears. (You can swipe/press anywhere.)
I've used an very smart litle program called "Swipe Starter" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tora.mamma.swipestart&feature=also_installed
Don't let the logo fool you it's very good. The only thing is that it's translated to english very poorly, so I dont think I know all of the dunctions, but it works.
Once installed, open the app and go to "markersetting". Press "The first marker". Check start. Choose to start, select "activity", and select "Recent apps" ( which is multitask shortcut). Position; I've chosen bottom center Marker colour: none Marker thick: large.
(vibration also has to be ticked, then unticked, under "Appsetting", and then it won't vibrate).
Then you swipe from the bottom, and your multitask menu will appear!
Link to multitask shortcut: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=grandmastersoftware.togglerecentapps&hl=da
I use Nova Launcher, Apex Launcher can also do the same.
Depending on what launcher you use there are ways to do it without the need of this app. Nova launcher has a few was to do this. 1st is Gestures and Buttons options in setting menu. Alternatively you can set a gesture to any of the icons you have in the dock .This is the one i us ,touch my apps icon it opens the drawer ,swipe on it it shows recent/open apps .
But good find all the same for those that choose not to use differing launchers.
The launcher can only do their gestures if you're on the home screen as far as I know ?
Making them pretty much useless multitasking..
This works in every app.

Give Trigger a try
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.varience.triggerlimited
You can create gestures for a lot of settings including things like pulling the notification bar or switching to the previous app.
Recent apps is one of the possible gestures.
For this app, you could create a gesture to be drawn or you can set one of the quick-actions to be one of the actions.
I set the swipe up action to be Recent Apps, swipe left to be go back to the previous app, swipe right to show All My Apps, and swipe down to lock the phone.
Give it a try. Its unbelievably useful!

Trigger is like My Gesture Shortcut Launcher where there's something permanent on the screen that you have to click to activate the gestures.
GMD is better because you can do it without clicking on anything but GMD doesn't support custom gestures unless you pay.
I personally use LMT that can be downloaded from XDA itself. It's similar to GMD but we can't create custom gestures though..

Actually, there's a difference.
With the app, Trigger, you don't have to click on anything to activate gestures.
That's only if you want to activate the actions that you've drawn gestures for.
There's another feature, called "Pulling the Trigger", which is pre-setting 4 actions. Then when you just swipe the trigger in the pre-set directions and let go, it'll activate that action.
In that aspect, its similar to the GMD part about activating without clicking anything. The real killer part is that any of the actions that can be set as gestures can also be set as a quick-action. So you can customize everything freely. That feature is available in the free version.
Maybe with SwipePad?
On my SGSII I used SwipePad to make a "hot corner" on the upper left side of the screen (statusbar) which triggered a menu-selection of apps and shortcuts.
I just tried it to trigger the "nova launcher recent apps" shortcut but it doesn't work right (not every time) but maybe with the "multitask shortcut" you mentioned...
EDIT: SwipePad is the more beautiful app but it seems to have problems with ICS. I've tried the nova launcher shortcut and the mentioned app "multitask shortcut" -> both doesn't work reliable.

wow ok, I'll give it a shot then, though I don't think it'll be better for me than LMT but let's see how.
Update : Ok after trying I think the pulling the trigger is pretty good.. it's like the double finger gestures in LMT except it's with 1 finger. only thing the trigger icon is quite ugly and even if i change it to something more discrete, I still have something always there on the screen. I love the "switch to previous app" function, very handy for multitasking.
Pros and cons I guess.
The multitask app is a paid one. Any alternatives for free?

To be honest this looks very similar to the already well known and supported Swipe Pad, i havent tried this myself yet but from the screen shots it doesnt look as polished as Swipe Pad is. It gives you the option of setting a corner or spot on the edge of the screen to swipe from. you can select set shortcuts, apps, widgets, multitask apps, recently and favourite contacts if you get the addons.

Hello. I am on DN3 rom v3.1.1. The rom has pen window like the note 3 but in this rom it can be used without the spen ie with fingers directly too.
I wanted to know that is there any way to use gmd gesture control and tasker together so that we can convert a full screen app into pen window by some gesture.
For example, suppose I have defined a gesture in gmd gesture control like pinch to run a task from tasker. The task will be related to conversion of full screen to pen window mode. Now suppose if I have whatsapp open on my screen and I do the gesture which i have defined to run the task from tasker, the whole screen app should minimize into a pen window. I am not able to explain it any better. Hope you guys understand. Thanx. I would have myslef done it if I had even little idea about how to do it .
Coming from iPad I like the 4 finger swipe up to reveal the Multitask bar. Is there a way I can customize my Note 10.1 to do the same. Right now I press and hold the home button to get the Task Manager.
Different launchers have different gestures. Try Nova or Apex. I'm not sure if they have 4 fingers swipe, but you can find something there.

Basically what you see above is what I'm trying to get rid of, to allow software like Papyrus to use the S-Pen's button for gestures. I've tried to play around with things as much as I'm comfortable with *nix systems, but I can't find how Samsung implemented this feature. And is this something that can be removed from the ROM itself? I don't know where to start.

If you're just asking about the wheel that pops up you can turn that off by going to: settings - controls - spen; Then under the header "Air View" is the option to turn off "Air Command", which is the function that brings up that wheel when you are hovering and click the button.
Withut root I don't know about turning off the s pen actions for the lasso screen shot (holding button while circling an area), or full screen shot (holding butting an tapping screen). But, if you were rooted, then the app GMD spen control allows you to "overtake" samsungs gestures to use the apps predefined spen gestures or to use custom defined gestures (only for when the pen is touching the screen and button is pressed, not for hover gestures).

It's great that Air View can be disabled.
Cool. Thank you! GMD is a great workaround. I appreciate it.
I am still open to learning how to do away with the lasso screenshot feature altogether, at the ROM level.

I finally rooted the device on stock firmware and installed GMD sPen Control. It doesn't allow Papyrus to use the sPen buttons however. It does disable the screenshot feature and enables other sPen gestures, but that's not quite what I'm after.
Thank you once again for the suggestion.

The below may be helpful to you regarding each of the tabs/pages in GMD spen (especially User gestures):
1 ) -Gestures - Pre defined gestures with the app that you can turn on or off, as well as disabling samsungs gestures. (I personally turn off most of these so I have more gestures available as custom gestures.
A helpful gesture to keep is when holding the button and swiping down from the top of the screen, which will pause gmd gestures (not take their input) and activate samsungs gestures again. So if you want to do a lasso screen shot just by holding the button and circling, first pause the gestures, then do that, then unpause.
2) -User Gestures - Create your own gestures. Heres an example that may help you: Select "+ Path". --> In the field for Gesture Path write "T-T" --> For action select Action then Samsung Note Actions then Air Command --> For starting zone select bottom half of screen. Save it. Then repeat this but for action go through the same menu and pick Action Memo, and for starting zone select top half of screen.
Now whenever you double tap with the button in the top half - Action Note pops up, in the bottom half, the air command wheel pops up.
Obviously you can do this however you want, this was just an example.
3) -Launchpad - Just a menu of pre selected (by you) apps/shortcuts you can bring up with a gesture.
4) Blacklist - Select apps that when they are opened up and active GMD spen will pause your gesture commands (not take them as inputs), but I think this will then activate samsungs gestures inside that app.
5.) Settings

I appreciate it very much. I went through these options and test blacklisting an app as well. Unfortunately Papyrus still doesn't "see" the gestures. GMD does, and when paused, Samsung screenshot feature does.
I also read up on the rest of the app documentation and can't seem to find a viable way to do this. I did message the app creator for clarification, hopefully I'll get a reply.

If you are talking about air gestures, you did go into the tablets settings and turn off air command correct?
If you are talking about gestures while touching the screen, then you should just be able to disable any of the built in GMD gestures that are creating the conflict. If they are still things you'd like to be able to do, then just assign different gestures that dont conflict.
I use hover commands in Lecture Notes without any issue.

I am not talking about any gestures per say, just free usage of the spen inside third party apps such as papyrus. I did disable air command, although it has nothing to do with it.
Basically I was expecting that once I disable the Samsung gestures it would somehow disable the service that Samsung runs that gets in between the spend button usage and the application. But that layer is not disabled, it's just it's actions that are prevented from running by GMD.
Hope this makes sense.
Thank you!
So, I don't know 'bout you, but I use my S2 in landscape mode more often than not and find it a bit awkward using the capacitative buttons on the side for navigation. I've used the recommended app on nearly every device I've owned but never have I found it more useful than on this tablet vs. anything else. The app is called Button Savior and it puts three pages of (configurable w/ pro version) navigation buttons on your screen. There are some cool themes with the free version and the pro version allows you to add an HD theme pack (see screen shot - that one's called Liquid Metal 2). It rarely gets in the way of screen content, but just hitting the circled X at the top collapses the panel into a small tab with an arrow that has configurable size and transparency. Of course there are other methods for soft key navigation but I'm a big fan of Button Savior, and to summarize... I would recommend it!
*As I mentioned there are other "soft key" solutions for navigation, but I find the above mentioned app the most convenient/intuitive. I actually have a few installed myself but don't really use them unless I need a particular function that Button Savior lacks (such as "kill app"). As you can see in the screen shot, I have a navbar courtesy of Gravity Box. For some reason though, the keys are only present in portrait mode, when I don't really need them. What's up with that? Anyways, I also use LMT (the actual app, not the Gravity Box version because it's much more configurable), but a lot of apps have slide-out menus from the left (these days...) which interferes with triggering it sometimes. However, using the LMT app, you can basically add whatever you want such as scripts and other such fanciness; I use it mostly for "kill app" whenever (rarely) something's non-responsive. Anyway, I can upload the apk if anyone wants it, but there's probably a newer version so you might be better off tracking it down. Here's a Play Store link for Button Savior: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smart.swkey&hl=en Check it out!
Sorry to be the party pooper, but all these solutions (LMT, Button Savior etc.) are not the real deal.
The only real convenient solution is GMD Gesture Control.
For any action you can think of (including Tasker actions etc.) you can freely configure gestures and the screen areas in which the gestures are recognized.
All the other solutions need too many actions to trigger an event, and/or they take up screen estate.

I like GMD too. I have GMD S-pen Control and have used it on all of my Note devices. I've found that I prefer soft key solutions though for the following reason: I tend to set up GMD and use it for a while, then take a break from using it for whatever reason, then tend to forget most of the gestures that I set up.
GMD is definitely awesome, IME it just needs to be used consistently though. I might give Gestures a try as it might be more practical than S-pen control
Er, how about simply NOT intermittently stopping using GMD???
You must admit that your reason for not using GMD is quite hilarious
(And, additional tip: Use the gestures wisely and don't add too many gestures - then you won't be confused )
I use GMD on all my devices now for years (so unrootable devices won't ever be bought by me), and it's second nature...

LOL :laugh: I think it has to do with the S-pen. Normally I just go through periods where I use it more or less. I think that it'd be easier with gestures.
Pie controls works amazing. It's on the app store

Agreed I have Button Savior set to trigger on the right side of the screen which I use mostly for "simple" navigation (although it has many more functions... 3 pages that you can scroll through) and PIE set to trigger on the left side. I mostly use PIE for more complex functions that I have mapped to long presses. I like Button Savior because the pro version looks nice with the HD themes, is completely unobtrusive, and faster and slightly easier to trigger than PIE even if collapsed. PIE definitely comes in handy if I ever need to kill an unresponsive app or something like that :good:
A better solution to Button Savior is already built into the Tab S2. It is called Assistant Menu. Go into Settings, Accessibility, Dexterity & Interaction, Assistant Menu then turn it on.

I'd agree that the already *build in* navigation assistant is better but, NO. You cannot change the background color (it is snow white). You cannot change the color of the floating navigation assistant button nor does it auto hide itself.
All other suggested apps need *root*. :x
I use this. It's simple and no root. I just need back, home and recent, but you can set more. Its completely transparent. The app is called "all in one gestures" and free.

This seems to be gone with the Nougat update...
I found a much better one,
Handy Soft Keys Pro.
Small, ultra fast, no ads and with fade out feature.
