About Now Gesture Tweaks
This is Now Gesture Tweaks app. This app lets you replace the swipe up gesture (from the bottom of device) for activating Google Now with a custom action. You can also use a 1x1 widget in your homescreen for calling the command, if you don't want to use the gesture or if your device doesn't support the gesture.
Refer to the video and screenshots for more informations.
NOTE FOR ANDROID M+: if you swipe up from home button, google now will be launched, even if you clear defaults. To set Now Gesture Tweaks as default app, go in settings/apps/settings icon on actionbar/default apps /assist&voice input/assist app and select Now Gesture Tweaks
Please read all the description before purchasing or leaving a bad review.
POSSIBLE ACTIONS
-multiple actions (launch a picker with the actions that you want)
-launch a picker with all apps (then choose one to launch)
-launch a custom app
-launch a shortcut (open website, send message, call number..)
-take screenshot *requires root, otherwise the function is not visible*
-open camera
-kill background processes
-clean cache of all applications
-enable/disable automatic rotation
-enable/disable wifi (and, optionally, go to wifi settings)
-enable/disable bluetooth (and, optionally, go to bluetooth settings)
-enable/disable automatic brightness
-open notification drawer
-go to GPS settings
-open google search
-start vocal search
-turn off screen
-enable disable auto sync
-do nothing
Other actions may be added in the future!
The icon displayed in the circle can be changed with many possible choices (for who has virtual navigation bar)
The app doesn't use battery because it gets activated only when the user execs the gesture and gets closed after the command is launched.
NOTE: the gesture for activating Google Now it's not the same in all devices. Mostly all devices with virtual keys (like nexus devices) can swipe up from the home button. Other devices activate google now with long-pressing the home button (or also back button or menu/multitasking button) or other. If you don't know what's he gesture for your device model, just search on google!
If after executing the gesture google now is launched anyway, go in settings/apps/all apps/google search and clear defaults, then do the gesture again. Still doesn't work? Email me before leaving a bad review, I'll help you.
NOTE2: all the permissions of the app are required by Android for executing the various commands.
This app uses the Device Administrator permission. It is required to perform the "turn off the screen" action.
If you have any problem, contact me with a mail before leaving a bad review (I can only help you with mail).
You can contact me also for suggestions and requests.
Rate the app if you like it, it will be much appreciated :)

Great app, thank you! I use this to lock the screen. Is there a way to prevent the app coming up to the foreground after unlocking? I did not have this problem earlier, but now I can't find an option for this and every time I unlock the phone, I am in this app instead of where I was when I locked it. EDIT: I don't know what the problem was, but it is working perfectly again, the issue I mentioned was present for a couple days only. Thank you again, 5 stars

So it was kind of pointless to have it as my main action for holding down the "home" button on Marshmallow. FINALLY this app give me an alternative to this action! HIGHLY recommend it!

Works now despite bad description from the author on how to fix it. Took an hour to figure it out. Finally got it working right only to find out that its only a shortcut to open the app. Not what I was looking for.

Need an option to bundle more than one actions into one action, for example, using one action to kill all background processes and turn off the screen.

This is a really useful app. I have a list of about 8 apps included which I can easily get to by swiping up from my home button. Saves having lots of app shortcuts on the home screen and it's a very easy way to open selected apps. Would love to see option of re-ordering the multiple actions list though then this app would be perfect.

How to turn off launch this app after make a turn off gesture... annoying

When using multiple commands one must make a second selection as to which app or command you want to use. Should have another way such as directionality so increase efficiency.

Handy but shame you can't screenshot without root as that's ideally what i would have used it for. Also cool if it could be used to turn on and off the flashlight or to toggle on and off your phone number before making a call. Very useful none the less.

Hey this app is amazing and I use it like 20 times a day to launch my Google Play Store. It it please possible to add the Play Store icon to the app. This would just top it off perfect. Thank you, I love this app and I'm spreading the word.

I love this app! I hated that google was the only choice for the pop up and now I actually have a reason to use it. My only suggestion, ...being "ignorant" of this type of tech, maybe explaining it in a way that a child could understand and use it would be nice. I am extremely happy with it it and since even I figured it out, maybe it's perfect the way it is. ☺

I am waiting for the day when there multiple simultaneous drop targets (a la cyanogenmod) instead of lists! Edit: i understand that this is impossible without rooting / deeper system access, as you would need to hook to the gesture itself, not the event where android recognises the gesture and provides an api for. Rating increased to reflect this.

Would like to see more variety in the apps to pick from and the screen shots are not saved in now gesture folder as mentioned.

Needs and option like WiFi but to turn data (3G and 4G) on and off.

Works without fail! However, the screen off option locks the screen while turning it off. It would be really convenient if it just turned the screen off! One last thing: is it possible for you to add support for universal functional toggles to this app, like power toggles does? I.e. if I had an app that has root toggles for the screen off, LTE, tasker profiles ect...
