how to enable four and five finger gestures on an iPad, free

Posted by nkbish0p at 17:23

Tweet With some beta firmwares in iOS 4.x, apple included an option to use 4 and 5 finger gestures on the screen of the iPad to complete the following tasks:

-Pinch to return to the home screen

-Swipe up to reveal the multitasking bar

-Swipe left or right between apps

Unfortunately these were never options for those of us without access to the beta firmwares, until now. These gestures can be added easily and quickly to your device without even requiring a jailbreak! Unfortunately for those without an OSX system however, you will need to borrow a friends mac.

To enable the gestures do the following:

1. Download xcode 3 from here. Install and make sure that it is fully updated.
2. Launch the app and connect you iPad to your computer, it should show up in the devices list in xcode,
3. Click the "use for development" button
4. When asked to input your developer credentials, hit cancel. Ignore the error.
5. Go to your iPad general preferences and enable multitouch gestures.

A good video of these gestures in action can be seen here
