Using Gestures to Open Apps in Android

You need to use a calculator, so you take your Android phone and tap on the calculator icon if you have it in the first screen, or you swipe between screens to find and tap the calculator icon.

But, if you don't have the calculator in the screen, you tap on the app menu and then you have to look for the calculator (scrolling all the screens needed). On the other hand, you can take your phone tap on a bubble to open a canvas and draw a gesture there to open the calculator, this being possible in any screen/app of your phone.

To have the last feature described you can use Gesture Magic, after install it you should enable 'Gesture Service' in 'Settings'.
 
Go to settings

Then you should go to 'Gesture Magic' option.

Go to Gesture Magic option

Tap on '+' button in the inferior corner.

Click on +

  Select the action, in this case 'Open Application'.

Open application

Select the app to be open by a gesture, in this case HIPER Scientific Calculator. 

Select the app to launch

Draw the gesture you want 3 times and save it.
 
Draw the gesture

Then, you will be able to move between apps easily by tapping in the bubble, for example going to a calculator and then to a camera.

 

This app can help you to launch not only apps but also call, SMS and more.

As you can image, I did this example on a Spanish version of Lotus Notes 8.5 but I will explain it clearly enough. The first step is getting yourself into the inbox, then select the "Create" menu item and inside of it, click on "Agent...". You will get a dialog box opened, in this we have the possibility of setting the rules for this agent. However, in this case we will only set "Trigger" option to "On schedule" with the "Weekly" frequency. Don't forget to push the "Schedule..." button to program the agent in the right way. After this, select "OK" and close the dialog bo...

Turn Horizontal Visio Swimlanes into Vertical Ones

Image
In one ocassion, a friend at work called me because she had a problem with Microsoft Visio , she was trying to draw a process flowchat but using swimlanes, this was not a problem until she realized that it would be better to use vertical swimlanes instead of horizontal ones.    But, when she tried to drag a vertical one it just put together to the previous swimlanes created before.  To avoid creating a new visio document and lost your work just go to 'Cross-Functional Flowchart' ribbon and select 'Orientation' and 'Vertical'.     And it's done, now you can work with vertical swimlanes or if you like it you can turn them back to horizontal ones.
