Replace the swipe up gesture that activates Google Now with a custom action!

IMPORTANT: this is the free version (with limitated functions) of Now Gesture Tweaks. This is Now Gesture Tweaks (free version) app. This app lets you replace the swipe up gesture (from the bottom of device) for activating Google Now with a custom action. This app can also work as a task killer and cache cleaner. If you have root you can also take screenshots.This simple app supports material design (for Android 5.0 Lollipop and above versions) and holo design (for Android 4.4 Kitkat and previous versions).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 devide doesn't support the gesture.The app is available in english and italian (my language).Refer to the video and screenshots for more informations.Please read all the description before downloading or leaving a bad review.POSSIBLE ACTIONS:-launch a picker with all apps (then choose one to launch)-launch a custom app-open notification drawer-do nothing-multiple actions (launch a picker with the actions that you want) *full version*-launch a shortcut (open website, send message, call number..) *full version*-take screenshots (requires root, otherwhise the function is not visible) *full version*-open camera *full version*-kill background processes *full version*-clean cache of all applications *full version*-enable/disable automatic rotation *full version*-enable/disable wifi (and, optionally, go to wifi settings) *full version*-enable/disable bluetooth (and, optionally, go to bluetooth settings) *full version*-enable/disable automatic brightness *full version*-go to GPS settings *full version*-open google search *full version*-start vocal search *full version*-turn off screen *full version*Optionally, a confirm popup can be displayed after executing commands (only where useful).Also the icon displayed in the circle can be changed (actually no icon, word "google", search icon, this app icon,lock icon).You can also change app theme (light, dark, black, transparent).Other actions may be added in the future!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 and 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.NOTE2: all the permissions of the app are required by Android for executing the various commands.NOTE3: screenshots and video refers to the full version.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.If you like, add/follow me on Google Plus: http://goo.gl/AFm9wUNickname on XDA-Developers and other forums: SpadaBossEnjoy Now Gesture Tweaks Free :DRecent changes:*2.2 version:-added an option to clear default action for the gesture in settings-added an "how to use" dialog on the right top menu (for who don't know how to use this app)-fixed some force closes while choosing action (affected only a few devices)-fixed the fact that the full version is not compatible with some tablets in playstoreContent rating: Everyone
