Tips 5

Dialing a number, Composing Text message or email requires an additonal parameter – number or email – remember about this small detail !

:-)

 

Tips 4

Why four gestures?

It came from my experience.

Three was enough but often caused misuse of the device
More than four can be difficult to remember and use
Less than three is really dangerous for your device

And this is why we need to do four moves to complete our combo!

Hope you can stand that :-)

Tips 3

It is always better to close Magus than just to put it into background.

Just like shown in my movies (press back on main screen then confirm exiting, that’s it!)

Magus works as a service so running main program is no more needed after you have prepared your configuration :-)

Tips 2

Advanced menu explanation.

When you are in advanced menu and you want to change settings, just press button represeting value you want to change, it will change to the opposit one.

Some details:

- Notification – info in the status bar
- Service: Standard/Foreground
(recommended is foreground but notification is persistent then – info with no icon)
- Starting at boot – unstable and experimental (doesn’t work as in google documentation)
- Preview: standard/detailed
- Sensivity: standard/high
- Magus works all the time/Magus sleeps when phone does
- Stop the service
- Close screen and restart Magus Service

 

 

Tips 1

When you are lost and you have deleted all the combos you created…

You can always load default Config (with two unlock gestures),
just go to Gestures List (“Open gestures list” from main menu)
open menu and select: Load default config.
This config is preloaded when you run Magus for the first time.

Gesture map

Here you can see the hint for making combos.
We can see from what position we can go to the next one.
Why is this so important?
Because it can prevent you from making “dead” dombo parts likeĀ F B .

Take a look.

Shown on the Gesture map,

starting from R (1) we can choose between F,D,T or B.
Our choice is B (2) then L (3) and finally F (4)
