Open the app; <strong>you will be asked to give administrative access<\/strong> to Hovering Control. Just tap <strong>Yes<\/strong>. Next, you will be asked the same question again. This time you need to tap on <strong>Activate<\/strong> \u2013 if you get the same question a third time, tap on <strong>Yes<\/strong> again and you can start using the app.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/android-hovering-control-app\/activate-device-administrator.jpg\" alt=\"Activate device administrator\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\"><\/figure>\n<p>Next, you can <strong>set up your gesture settings<\/strong> to determine whether it will open a single app or use the carousel mode.<\/p>\n<h2>Gestures And Options<\/h2>\n<p>Using Hovering Controls, you can activate certain apps via 3 gestures: <strong>Hover Hold, Slide Once<\/strong> and <strong>Slide Twice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a favorite app that you almost always open up first or most often on your device, you can set it to turn on upon Hover Hold. <strong>Hover Hold<\/strong> works when your palm \u201chovers\u201d over the screen of your device. You can launch apps or launchers with it. The same works with <strong>Slide Twice<\/strong> (a left-right quick motion).<\/p>\n<p>Both these gestures work to activate only a single app each.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/android-hovering-control-app\/home.jpg\" alt=\"Home Page\" width=\"500\" height=\"280\"><\/figure>\n<p>Under the Slide Once gesture, you can choose Carousel Mode which lets you <strong>have more than one app linked to the gesture<\/strong>. If you have 5 apps linked to this gesture, everytime you swipe over the screen, you flip through the linked apps. Just stop swiping to use the app you want.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/android-hovering-control-app\/carousel-mode.jpg\" alt=\"Slide Once\" width=\"500\" height=\"280\"><\/figure>\n<h2>More Settings<\/h2>\n<p>In the Settings page you can enable gesture to <strong>skip or pause your music<\/strong>, <strong>lock\/unlock your smartphone<\/strong>, <strong>answer a call<\/strong> and many others.

Furthermore, if you find that you want to <strong>increase or decrease the sensor duration<\/strong>, you can do this on the Sensors Options page and change the delay settings there.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/android-hovering-control-app\/options.jpg\" alt=\"Settings And Sensors Options\" width=\"500\" height=\"379\"><\/figure>\n<p>Lastly, you can also <strong>optimize how the app behaves<\/strong>: have it <strong>run at boot<\/strong>, <strong>vibrate when detected<\/strong>, <strong>disable detection when screen is off<\/strong> and so on, all at the Settings page.<\/p>\n<h2>Uninstall Hovering Controls<\/h2>\n<p>Unlike other Android apps, It\u2019s a bit tricky to uninstall this particular app due to the early permission you\u2019ve given the app. Before you can uninstall Hovering Controls, you will need to do an extra step of <strong>deactivating the Administrative permission<\/strong> you\u2019ve given to the app.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/android-hovering-control-app\/disable-admin-access.jpg\" alt=\"Disable Admin To Uninstall\" width=\"500\" height=\"181\"><\/figure>\n<p>To do that, tap on the navicon icon or your device menu button, and select <strong>Uninstall-Device Admin<\/strong>. Next, tap on <strong>Disable Admin<\/strong> to <strong>Uninstall<\/strong> and you will notice a small message at the bottom indicating that you can now uninstall the app.<\/p>\n<p>Proceed with uninstalling Hovering Controls as per any other app.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/samsung-galaxy-s10-accessories\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: 10+ Samsung Galaxy S10 Accessories to Watch Out For\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">10+ Samsung Galaxy S10 Accessories to Watch Out For<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/samsung-galaxy-s10-accessories.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-47274 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/samsung-galaxy-s10-accessories.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">10+ Samsung Galaxy S10 Accessories to Watch Out For<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe Samsung Galaxy S-series has evolved and matured over the past decade giving us the most recently launched...\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Read more<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Limitations<\/h2>\n<p>At the time of writing, the option to <strong>use the hover hold to jump straight to your Android home screen is not included<\/strong>.
