SideSqueeze

The Description of SideSqueeze

Site Editorial Commentary：Squeeze, press, gestures, fingerprints, vibrations, remap S Pen & much more!

SideSqueeze+ is an innovative Android application designed to enhance the functionality of your unrooted (or rooted) Galaxy device, empowering you to achieve more with your smartphone. Its core feature revolves around the intelligent detection of squeeze and press gestures through advanced analysis of barometric sensor pressure data. Furthermore, the recent introduction of the Plus module significantly expands its capabilities, offering a diverse range of features including:

- Fingerprint vibration feedback (compatible with both front and back fingerprint scanners)
- Haptic feedback for face and iris unlock
- Vibration feedback for navigation gestures
- Customizable fingerprint unlock actions (e.g., launching the camera with a specific finger)
- Slice gestures
- Double chop gestures
- Automatic biometric lockout for enhanced security
- Accidental touch protection options to prevent unintended actions
- Power button long-press remapping
- Various volume button combination remapping
- S Pen button press, double press, and long press remapping
- S Pen global air override (perform home/back/recents actions by waving your S Pen)

If your device is not compatible with the pressure-based features, you can still leverage the power of the Plus module by disabling squeeze and press detection. This will completely deactivate the pressure analysis engine while retaining all the functionality offered by the Plus module.

SideSqueeze+ prioritizes your privacy. It operates without ads and does not collect or harvest any of your personal data. Notably, it doesn't even require internet access permission.

The squeeze/press functionality is primarily compatible with weather-sealed Galaxy phones released from 2017 onwards. However, due to variations between devices and cases, sensitivity may differ. It is recommended to perform a calibration upon installation to optimize performance. The "Analyzer" tab provides a visual representation of your gestures to aid in troubleshooting. Please note that SideSqueeze+ may experience difficulties when used with bulky cases.

To enable the Plus module and certain actions, a one-time command execution via Android Developer Bridge (adb) from a computer is required. Detailed instructions are available within the app on the Help tab.
