We all know that Motorola has launched the flagshgip mobile Moto X. Moto X is doing very good in the smartphone market after the huge success of Moto G. We have already discussed about this mobile. To know more about Moto X, click here. Moto X has many feature but today we will be talking about its Twist gesture feature using which you can directly launch the Camera.
All you to do is to twist your wrist twice to launch the camera. You dont even need to wake up the phone or open the app from the drawer. This default feature is however only availabel to launch the camera app only. What if you can launch any other app with the same gesture? Like say, you double twist your wrist and launch the WhatsApp. This can now be possible.

Thanks to the Xposed module “Twisty Switch” for Moto X, it let you choose which app to launch with Moto X’s twist gesture. Developed by an XDA-Developers , this module lets you customize the twist gesture to launch any app you like. Also, this module allows you to enable/disable of the vibrate that occurs when starting an app.
This app is still in the development phase so you may expect some gliches. As of right now, you are limited to launch apps that are available through your launcher. Another issue is that, launching an app this way will bypass your lock screen, but the developer is working on providing an option to disable this in the future development.
Note: Twisty Switch is an Xposed module, which means it works only on rooted Moto X with Xposed Framework installed.
To install the module, download it from Xposed Repo using the Download option. Launch the Xposed Installer, go to the “Modules” section and enable the module, configure app to launch, restart your phone and get started.
Download Xposed repo
Cheers!!!
