🌟 Core Features

The app features four main navigation tabs: 🏠 Home · 📳 Motion · 🔔 Notification · 🧩 Extensions.

🏠 Home — Edge Gestures, Floating Ball & Customization

1. Edge Gestures

Triggers & Aesthetics: Highly responsive left/right/top/bottom edge triggers, supporting bubble, capsule, wave animations, and haptic feedback.
Custom Layout & Landscape Triggers: Freely adjust trigger position, height, thickness, angle, and segments; supports dedicated landscape trigger handles for gaming and media viewing.
Smart Anti-Mistouch: Auto-hide in landscape/lock screen/home screen, with per-app exclusion lists and foreground switching blacklists.
Corner Radial Menu: Swipe from bottom-left or bottom-right corners to summon a radial menu with real-time Gaussian blur and action grouping.
OEM Freeform Integration: Deeply adapts to native Android Freeform, Xiaomi MIUI/HyperOS Small Window, and Meizu Flyme Small Window.

3. 🔮 Floating Ball (OCR, Image Search & Gestures)

Operates independently from the Floating Pointer, combining joystick navigation with screen OCR pointers.

Accessibility & Offline Multi-Engine OCR: Extracts text via accessibility nodes first, seamlessly falling back to local offline OCR (ML Kit / Tesseract / PaddleOCR ONNX).
Text Selection Panel: One-click search, translate, segmentation (CppJieba), select all, remove spaces, and copy; supports region clipping and shared image OCR history.
Search Aggregation: Customizable search engines, grid sorting, search history, prefix aliases, and deep links; supports importing from GestureEVO / SearchEVO.
Reverse Image Search: Summon multi-engine reverse search (Google, Yandex, TinEye, SauceNAO, IQDB, 3D-IQDB, ASCII2D, trace.moe, AnimeTrace, Copyseeker) with built-in WebView preview.
Pin to Screen: Pin screenshots or text cards as top-level floating windows with pinch-to-zoom and drag support.
Appearance & Tuning: Custom themes, images, GIFs, and slideshows; adjustable pointer sensitivity and OCR tolerance.

4. Theme & Appearance

Miuix Design System: Comprehensive adoption of Miuix UI (HyperOS style) with collapsible TopAppBar, virtualized grouped cards, overscroll damping, and haptic feedback.
Material You Dynamic Coloring: Automatically extracts wallpaper colors via MaterialKolor on Android 12+, generating 9 palette styles injected into MiuixTheme.
Blur & Performance: Bottom navigation and floating overlays support Gaussian blur and progressive blur; can be disabled to completely eliminate scroll sampling overhead.

📳 Motion & Device Gestures — Shake, Flip & Back-Tap

6-Direction Shake Recognition: Distinguishes left/right flip, forward/backward flip, and quick side shakes; supports per-app custom actions and sensitivities.
Desk-Flip Mute: Place face-down on a flat surface while screen is on to trigger lock screen and silent mode.
Back-Tap Gestures (BackTap): Accelerometer-based back-cover double-tap recognition supporting 50+ actions, screen on/off/always trigger policies, sensitivity tuning, and charging guard.
Scenario Rules: Screen on/locked activation policies, app blacklists/whitelists, independent sensitivity thresholds, and vibration feedback.

🔔 Notification — Reminders, History & OTP

Multi-Style Reminders: Intercepts notifications with Dynamic Island cards, heads-up popups, side bubbles, or screen danmaku; supports "Open Latest Message on Unlock" (with whitelist and confirm policies).
Notification History & Filtering: Categorizes active, history, and hidden notifications with multi-dimensional regex and keyword archiving.
OTP Verification Center: Automatically detects verification codes in SMS and app notifications with regex extraction, clipboard auto-copy, and auto-fill; optional LSPosed module for system-level SMS injection.

💡 Design Philosophy & Comparisons

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

Android has seen legendary tools that shaped mobile navigation and productivity:

Samsung One Hand Operation+ (OHO+) perfected multi-angle edge triggers and smooth system gestures.
Quick Cursor introduced thumb-friendly screen reachability via intuitive floating cursors.
FooView (FV) pioneered floating-ball universal OCR, search aggregation, and floating window shortcuts.

Why XGesture?

While we deeply admire these pioneering tools, modern Android users frequently face fragmentation:

Vendor Lock-in: OHO+ is one of the most beloved gesture tools ever created, but it remains exclusive to Samsung One UI. Non-Samsung users on Pixel, Xiaomi, Motorola, Sony, etc., have long sought a genuine alternative.
Open Source & Privacy-First: Proprietary utilities often carry cloud-dependent OCR and closed ecosystems. XGesture is 100% AGPL-3.0 open-source, bundling offline on-device OCR (PaddleOCR ONNX / ML Kit) that respects user privacy.
Unified Navigation: Rather than running multiple separate tools for edge gestures, single-handed pointers, and floating OCR, XGesture brings them together into a unified, coherent experience with fluid Miuix animations.

Service Coordination & Overlay Rendering: SlideIndexAccessibilityService intercepts global gestures and dispatches system events, while overlays are managed by OverlayLayout and independent WindowManagers.
Dynamic Engine Loading: OCR, translation, and segmentation engines support both Full and Lite packaging modes; native .so libraries and models can be extracted at runtime.
Privileged Pipelines: Shizuku IPC (rootless privilege), Root fallback executor (LibSu), and LSPosed module collaborate to provide seamless background clipboard monitoring and process lifecycle control.
