Navigation Layer is an application which allows you to use several customizable gestures to perform various actions on your device. The application allows you to enable three bands on the edges of the screen (right edge , left edge and bottom edge) , these areas are sensitive to touch and allow you to launch different customizable actions from any app or game you have opened, such as "open latest app closed", or maybe "open your favorite app". You can launch up to 15 different commands fully customizable !

Navigation Layer allows you to use your device in full screen , giving you the freedom to users to hide the virtual keys on the Nexus line or Tablet.

Enjoy full beauty of your screen with Navigation Layer!

Idea is great but execution lacks horribly. Everything works almost but not quite. Detected swipes leak to underlying apps causing accidental actions. App shortcut menu doesn't refresh. The app also failed to detect that it's already running and started itself twice, which caused all sorts of trouble. Edges block the keyboard.

App worked great and did its job however it didnt have an option for gestures for recent apps which was a huge draw back for me. Then i later realized the "last app" option doesnt work and only send you to settings. The "open task manager" option doesnt do anything as well. The thing that really put the nail in the coffin was when i went into my gallery and the app started crashing repeatedly.

Hi there, just here to inform that with the last update now the service stops at random, whenever I dismiss/snooze an alarm It crashes (unfortunately navlayer stopped working), sometimes it goes in a loop asking to reboot my phone and for root permission every time or malfunctions and makes me toggle the permissions which only fixes it for a while (mere minutes sometimes). I'm using an LG e450f with android 4.1.2 (jellybean). I'll give it 5 stars again when (if) it's fixed.

I love it! It's really useful! But it sometimes crashes when I open my Email and when my keyboard disappears, and it prevents me from enabling accessibility services. I have to uninstall just to enable these services. Please fix, and I will change my rating to 5 stars. Also, I'm running lollipop on a galaxy note 4.

Especially for big screen phones. Only one problem, it tends to disable some apps' button, such as the vpn confirm button in fqrouter2. There are quite some apps affected by it. Although I can deactivate Navlayer for a while to finish the operation in the affected apps, that is really annoying. Othewise, it should be 5 stars

This app is very polished, but the last-app function doesn't work the way I want. If you keep swiping the gesture, it goes back through a history of apps, when really I want it to toggle between two apps.

Jam. M. Apr 30, 2015     

The actions you can set up are very customizable and even without root you can add tons of shortcuts with gestures. I use then a lot. Plus you can save the home button by using a swipe to do same function. UPDATE: dropping the rating after upgrade to lollipop because: open last app no longer works;I realized thus app causes conflicts with other apps such as causing install button to be inactive (an android security precaution). Please find a way around these problems and 5 stars you will get!

Just what I wanted. An app to swipe from. The edge of the screen where I can adjust the area I want to use and not have a stupid glow showing me where I can swipe.

It works as advertised. But one thing that very annoying is I can't press the "install" button for app installation when I activated "Navigation Layer" on my Galaxy S4. Please fix this issue.

Please create a widget to reset service. Service stops a lot and persistent notification is extremely obtrusive on android lollipop. It's always on my lock screen. Going through the app to reset is too many clicks. A small widget no larger than app icon would make this app perfect.

I used to love this app. Been using it for a long while. Now it's been crashing and giving me issues with accessibility. I don't think I can deal with it anymore

Thank you whoever made it. It really helped me through about year fighting with my meizu mx4 pro, which has issues from the beginning. This app made the phone able to use. I had a tough time especially through the last month when my screen started to break and my older phone had been repaired. Thank you for annoying me sometimes with the "auto go-back's" (which turned out to be mostly hardware problem) and for really flexible feature I could make phone working again c; Good luck for the future!

Needs a lot more actions you can perform. Hiding notification via system causes crashing after a while. Always crashes in calculator.

The problem is task switcher is no longer working after update to noughat from marshmallow. Also this app obscures system buttons which I did not experience using fingerprint gestures app.

It randomly stops running. Very randomly. It suddenly starts running all by itself. Then after watching a video in full screen, the proportions of the area is all wrong. Very useful but too annoying.

There is no option for addtional actions like on of the greenify action (i.e. hibernate+lock screen)

Sau. A. Oct 6, 2014     

I love the concept. Though with MIUI on my mi3, when you try to configure another bar, and tries to deactivate the earlier configured bar, it dont work. Also selecting controls to be disabled while keyboard in use, it keeps on running. Please fix this, thanks.

Great app but latest update conflicts worth Google now microphone. Had to disable from accessibility to get Google now working again.

Rya. A. Feb 7, 2015     

Loved it on Kit Kat. Kinda lost now on Lollipop without it. Even with a factory wipe before updating to Lollipop it doesn't work. Enabled in Accessibility and service running but no effect. Also still interferes with "OK Google." Will revise rating when fixed.

I love this app but it has a major bug. It conflicts with google now. Please fix this and i will rate it 5 stars.

Fel. B. Sep 26, 2016     

Good ideea but it messed up the "app overlay detected" on my marshmallow, every time I want to change some app permission. It's annoying!!

A. G. u. Oct 3, 2014     

App did not stay active in the background (notification enabled). Fine app otherwise.

Ale. P. Oct 12, 2015     

Updated to M 6.0. Conflicts with the admin permissions, specifically the "draw over over apps" function. Hopefully this is something that can be fixed.

Wish there was more side-flick based gestures apps. Such gestures should become available out-the-box in the stock Android, since device screens keep getting bigger.

Lah. N. Nov 29, 2015     

But the disable on keyboard function not working correctly . Also some bugs in edit bar function too... But I love this app. There is a problem with facebook app, when i open the facebook app the unfortunatly nav layer has stopped !

Sve. A. Feb 24, 2016     

Great ideas implemented but as stated - Install button on non Play store apk's doesn't work and some other similar... Otherwise a perfect app!

JA. L. Sep 12, 2015     

To preven the buttons being worn out, then this app is the solution! Great work

Crashes so much even in a clean Android environment
