I was wondering if there is a way to Swipe Up from bottom bezel to bring up Google Now cards ala Nexus. I was using Nova launcher on my Nexus 5 and this was working fine, but can't seem to find a way to get this on my S6. Any ideas how I can do this?
Thanks
Install Nova launcher and assign Google to swipe up on app drawer icon on home screen

I like my set up with no dock therefore no app drawer. I guess I can have any other gestures but I guess it would be pretty cool if I could get this similarly to how Nexus does it.
Nova Pro has a "two finger swipe" gesture that work great for this, two fingers swipe up and boom! Google Now, two fingers swipe down boom! Yahoo News Digest

What's wrong with just long pressing the home button? Can't get a lot easier than that.

On iOS, I can swipe the clock on the statusbar which I set to automatically open the App Switcher.
I've been trying AutomateIT, Tasker, and a few other Status bar tweaks but I haven't been able to find an app that will do one simple thing - when I swipe/tap/double-tap the clock or somewhere on the status bar, it should open the "Recent Apps" dialog (so I don't have to press that flimsy button)
Can anyone recommend an app, or how to do it in Tasker?
PS: I've been trying Tasker all day, and this is the last thing I need it to do, but no joy!
What phone do you have ?
By "App Switcher" do you mean the Recent Apps function that brings up apps still in memory ?

Ah yes, sorry. That is what I meant.
I have a Galaxy S3, rooted with Resurrection Remix 3.1.4 .
Actually I was able to achieve what I wanted with GMD Gesture Control (best 6$ ever spent!). So a different question now, is there a way to get it to monitor for gestures on the lockscreen? Prior to me swiping or doing my pattern..
Thanks for your help!
You can also access recent apps with a long press to he home button by default. With a launcher, you can come figure it to vice-versa.
I think several launchers also give you various new icons and swipe features.
Lock screen? I don't know. I might look into something like Widget Locker, maybe.

I'll look into Widget Locker. I know you can do it with the home button, but mine is almost on it's deathbed and I want to minimise pressing it until I can find a way to fix it or the Nexus 4 becomes more freely available lol
I'm no programmer so I don't have the first clue about how to do this but I had an idea.
My current launcher has 5 panels and I have to swipe side to side to get to each meaning sometimes I have to double swipe to get to where I want. Would it not be easier to swipe up, down, left, and right to go to the different panels?
It would be nice to keep the holo theme but just that one tweak.
You could call it a 4-way launcher. Simple yet functional.

So basically you would swipe in four different directions to scroll to a different home screen instead of just left or right? I'm no programmer either, but that sounds very interesting! I'm sure there's a way we could just modify a holo themed launcher (stock from Nexus devices anybody?). I feel as if I've heard your idea before, but maybe my mind is just creating fake memories based on something I believe to be true. That is what the mind does, after all.

I'm pretty sure you can do that in Apex or Nova by assigning gestures that lead to respective screens...
I tested the idea. It is possible to do this in Apex. Good idea.

Like this idea.
I tried searching for this and didn't find it, and I'm really curious about it.
Is it possible for the swipe left to google now (which looks incredibly smooth in the KitKat videos) to be implemented into launchers such as nova and apex? Or is that going to be a stock launcher only thing?
Just to clarify, I'm asking if a future version of Nova/apex will be able to copycat this design, not just implement another gesture that opens the google now app. The beauty of these launchers now is that they appear very similar to aosp, but they have many more features. Will that no longer be possible after this change?
Nova (paid) already has gestures that you can set to launch any app. There are 9 gestures although swipe left isn't one of them - not that it matters

Right, I guess that is one option, but it is more jarring to switch to a totally different app than the swipe gesture that it looks like KItKat has. That seem so fluid, almost like it's just another home screen.

From what I was reading, I believe that in 4.4 it actually IS another screen. I mean it's not just that the app is hidden in the background and uncovered by a gesture, it is an option to have google now to take up a page in the layout.

Nova right now cant do anything like the google launcher for kk. When you swipe right there is an actual google now home page.

It sure is first you've got too activate Google now its in the Google search settings somewhere

i really hope that nova will implement this and all the other cool stuff from the new kk launcher... something like a more customizable stock launcher
The google launcher is basically an extension of the Google search app. Kind of like Facebook home. I doubt nova will be able to integrate this unless the build it themselves into nova. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013...e-kitkats-primary-interface-is-google-search/

I suppose an app like GMD gestures could help you achieve the same effect

I think it would be cool if you can swipe left to any app of your choice, even if the app has to go on pause.

Remove what? The launcher? You can just install Apex launcher and use that instead if you wanted. If you really wanted to remove it you will need to uninstall it through titanium backup, but I wouldn't recommend that.

Anyone onow a way to use the fingerprint gesture to pull down the notification shade like in the pixel and the s8???? I tried some apps but they usually dnt wrk.... Is it a hardware limitation on the n5 that it might not b possible??? I tried fingerprint quick action when it was in the beta stage and it wrked great, but once it hit the playstore it stopped responding like b4....
Any one know a way?
Hardware limitation I think..
you can use a launcher called: Nova Launcher
but u need to buy the premium version.
to be more specific, it will not act the same way you are asking, in the premium features you have on screen swipe gesture where you can assign the swipe down gesture to show the notifications.
I'm using this method and it is really nice.

Nova launcher can't add fingerprint gestures like pixel phones and others, just screen gestures

There are apps that will allow you to customize this behavior extensively. I've been using OnePlus Gestures. It's in the Play Store and not a OnePlus product. It's outstanding, gives you the ability to set gestures in lots of different ways (swiping up, left, right, up and hold, etc., though it seems to "phone home" a lot. There are others, too. Fluid Gestures does what you want, but not as much overall as OnePlus Gestures. And maybe some of the ROMs will give you this functionality if you're rooted and want to go down that road.
mmm ok thanks alot…
this app didnt helped me much.
and no, i dont want to go down this rooted road ;D
i thought it will be simple…

What didn't OnePlus Gestures do for you? It allows you to set each of the gestures to whatever you want.

I see. Is that Navigation Gestures you're using? I'd been using that some before switching to OnePlus Gestures. I don't have it installed anymore, so I can't check the settings for it, if that's what you're using.

I think he's just using the Pie gestures. Sadly yes, switching button placement doesn't switch the recent apps orientation too.
