Have proswitcher installed?
Usually activator is tagged along with another package to switch around activation methods.

I used to have it installed, but then I uninstalled it. It seems pretty useful. How do I use it?
Humm..... if you don't know how to use it, how could you determine it's pretty useful.
Well by the looks of it, it looks like I can use a bunch of gestures to perform certain tasks. I'm just not sure how to assign these gestures to do certain things.
Both ProSwitcher and Overboard use the LibActivator gestures which you see in the Activator settings. Not sure where the hooks into that app are located.
I do not know how it got installed? But, it is a great app to use. Here are some of the things you can do with it. It works the same way as one of the setting that comes with the default settings. Say you double press home button it can take you to phone favorites or Ipod.
Activator takes it to another level and gives you option to enable any other application like open "Cydia" app when you double press home button. I have set some of the settings as swipe on the bottom to open "App Store" and swipe from bottom right open "Contacts" and shake the phone to open "Camera" app from any where.
You can even chose some system settings from lockscreen.
Thanks

Yeah it's just that it should have been uninstalled along with Proswitcher as its dependency which it wasn't.
I started noticing the activator framework on my phone after I installed cydgets.... Not sure if it's related or I just noticed it at the same time. But I have activator now and have never had proswitcher or overboard installed. I did have kirikae installed before, so perhaps it was installed along with kirikae?
Custom activator menu
I have a question here, i installed the activator and it is working fine and i like it,
but i just add a custom menu in, but i found that the menu i add in is not using, but i couldn't delete it, i couldn't find a way to delete it, any help ?

Do you have SBSettings installed? I noticed Activator was installed with that. Maybe SBS uses Activator for the swipe across the menu bar.
And Activator is one of my top JB apps. Makes up for the lack of buttons letting me have all kinds of shortcuts to perform actions, such as launch apps. I use it to even unlock with a double click on Home, so I never have to swipe to unlock again. It is certainly not crap.

I love it, makes life simpler
activator u can select in the system setting, and then click on anywhere and then one of the options, like *shake* and what action it performs i selected Lock Screen.and likewise you can do with the other actions, its simple. and useful as shortcuts

Yes it's a quite useful app.
It allows you to open any app by gestures.
But it's sad this is one of the best JB apps.
Although I'm not even close a programmer, it seems like a simple app to me.
