Touchcontrol Updated to Support Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 7 (2013)

We first talked about Slide2wake with Touchcontrol in June of last year.

In order to use the app’s features,  you must be running a rooted Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, or Nexus 7 (2013). You may also need to flash to a different kernel if your current kernel is not yet supported.
