About Swipeup Utility
Swipeup Utility allows you to customize your phone's assist fuction.
It'll give you super quick access to voice search, camera, calculator, and whatever else you might need.
In fact, you can:
• Do nothing! Swipeup Utility's original purpose was to get that annoying swipe gesture out of the way, so if you choose to do nothing, your swipes will- do nothing!
• Assign the gesture to any app- Launch Bing instead of Google. Or start your music. Or messages.
• Swipeup Utility's Actions- Trigger recent apps, voice search, home button press, quick search, long-press search, or video camera.
• Shortcuts- Standard shortcuts that you'd find on a launcher. Navigate home with Google Maps, open up Google Translate to start listening, or get quick access to someone with a contact shortcut.
With Premium:
• Switch to last used app
• Lock screen
• Toggle flashlight
• Expand Notifications
• Expand Quick Settings
• Toggle Wifi
• Toggle Bluetooth
Swipeup Utility builds on top of the assist functionality, so if your device doesn't have an on screen navigation bar, look for a G or search icon somewhere in recent apps or a long press of a button, depending on the manufacturer skin.

Hey! Want to see the app in your language? Head over to http://translate.aecampos.com to help out!
Note: This app is a continuation of Google Now Swipe Disabler.
Another Note: Due to restrictions baked into android, Swipeup Utility is unable to hide the semicircle that shows when you swipe up from the bottom. Personally, this doesn't bother me and I hope it won't bother you.
Yet Another Note: Some device manufacturers change this swipe up action to reduce or even eliminate Swipeup Utility's functionality. Some galaxy devices require a long home button press instead of a swipe, and some require the long home button press and a tap on an icon. Lg and Sony devices add their own icons in the semicircle, so you need to swipe towards the magnifying glass.

And very useful, btw. I hope it remains clean forever*; I have seen many become dirty after some time. //* Why beta 2.1.2 requires Internet permission?

I used to get so frustrated with Google now. Couldn't hardly use my phone without being interupted by an unintentional swipe. I felt like taking a hammer to it. This app saved me.

Overall, clean & simple. Dependable, never a problem [LL-5.0.1]. ―― I especially like the 'Launch-Box' feature for multiple items. Some of those settings are not entirely obvious, but easy enough. ―― Launch any settingappshortcut. --- (( Some of your apps may offer up explicit shortcuts, most apps will not. In that case, search Play for "activity shortcut" "make" to find a handful of programs that will dig through all your apps to find launchable activities (shortcuts). ))

This is pretty much the perfect app: it does what it promises (at least on my device), and it requires no special permissions or rooting to do so.

Does what it needs to do in a small, compact package. Easy to setup. The "# of times saved from Google now" tracker is a cute little touch.

On My Moto G4 it isn't quite a swipe up gesture. Instead just holding the home button. Which may help some reviewers. Works perfectly!!!

When I read that the switch to last used app function was going to be "buggy" it put me off a purchase, and so I uninstalled the app. That's when I had an absolute nightmare trying to find where the setting to re-enable Google's Search Screen was buried. Literally took me an hour to find it. This app should make it absolutely clear where that crucial setting lies on one's device. Waste of time.
