What's new in v2.1.5

New in 2.1.4: New app widget for quick launch of recent items. Displayed as a popup dialog on tablets. Bug fixes and UI improvements. New in 2.1.2: Searching multilingual contents by drawing native characters for 40+ languages. Transliteration is supported for all these languages. Pinyin initials are also allowed for Chinese. More bugs fixed (including the crash during indexing and incompatibility with Froyo introduced in the previous version).

Description

From the listing uploaded by “vc007”.

Gesture Search lets you quickly access contacts, applications, settings, music and bookmarks on your Android device by drawing letters or numbers. It continuously refines search results as you add each gesture, and becomes better as it learns from your search history.

Google Gesture Search APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Google Gesture Search APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 9e59f0518a9bee48c193b4efd6044325.
