Access camera from lockscreen? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I came from N5 to this phone and vanilla android had a camera icon you could just swipe in from the right bottom corner. Is there any way to enable this on the g3?

I have the camera Icon on the buttom and can use it. But I cannot add any more shortcuts when I swipe on the button in any way. What I can do is to set widgets in the upper time Screen by wiping to the right and add a widget (but also no apps), but not on the buttom. Want to Setup the flashlight on locscreen

[Q] Touch Zoom on lock screen legally blind could use some help.

Hello all,
I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way to enable magnification gestures or as LG is calling it "touch zoom" on the lock screen. For anyone who does not know what this feature is, it is a screen magnifier built into android that can be enabled from the accessibility menu. It lets the user triple tap with one finger to zoom the screen in on any app on the phone, for example if you needed to see what the app icon text is on the home screen you would triple tap and hold and the screen would zoom in and fallow your finger as you move it around the screen. On my nexus 7 and gs4 this worked on the lock screen, unfortunately it seems LG has disabled this feature on their lock screen. My first thought was knock on was causing the problem so I enabled the verizon hidden menu and disabled it unfortunately this did not help. I am rooted and am willing to try any suggestions. My only other thought would be to get in contact with the dev of g3 tweakbox because he seems to know a lot about the LG's implantation of android.
thanks in advance!

It works if you have a slide lock screen, but that's not very useful :/

DP4 Multi Window - Left side of the screen

Hi folks,
I don't know if I'm just being thick and I can't find the answer on google, but is there a way to change what app is on the left side when in multiwindow mode? I can't seem to figure out how to do that if there is even a way.
Thanks!

It's not that difficult. When you see the cards of recent apps then long press on the card you want to choose. Then you can drag and drop it to the left or right

I meant while you're already in multiwindow mode, you can't seem to change the app that's on the left side. Alt tabbing and pressing the recent app button brings up the carousel on the right side but no way to swap the left side app

I've noticed that the first app will always stay on the selected side. So when you drag the app to the right side the carousel will always appear on the left side and the other way around.
It's still not very intuitive but nevertheless I'm finally happy to see multiwindow support on Android N

One caveat to that - I've noticed that if you open an app from a notification, it opens in whichever window is "active".

Oh damn right! Completely validates this Pixel C purchase I think haha. Wow I never thought of dragging apps to the right side instead. I think I always long press the recent apps button to start multwindow mode and it defaults to the left side.
To answer my question I've been dragging the middle bar all the way across to open up fullscreen (making the secondary app the primary app) and then going back into multiwindow mode and opening up another app as the secondary.

Any setting or module that allows screen to be turned off by double tap?

How can I customize my phone to turn off screen by a double tap somewhere, like at the top on the notification bar? On my old phoneI could do this and I think it may have been an option in Gravity Box. I know there's the option to turn off the screen when double taping an empty area on home screen. But I would prefer something more accessible. Anyone know of any working Magisk modules that allow for this customization?
You can do this natively via motion & gesture settings if you are on One UI 3.0

Sorry if I wasn't clear but I mean from any screen, not just the home screen. I think it was an option in gravity box to double tap the status bar at the top to turn off the screen.

The closest setup I could find was One Hand Operation, by Samsung. You are not double tapping, but you can swipe from ANY screen.

Question Get old OnePlus gestures back?

Coming from a OP7Pro, I have to say that these new Google gestures suck. Can no longer swipe from the sides to call up a side menu in various apps because swiping in from the sides now takes me back. I miss the old gestures where everything was done from the bottom:
Swipe up, bottom left/right: back
Swipe up, center: home
Swipe up and hold, center: recent apps
Trying to find a way to get those back but can't. Thought I hit the jackpot with the process in the link below, but I have an issue afterwards where swiping up from left/right of bottom combines both back and home commands and always takes me home.
Anybody have any ideas?
Revert back to old swipe gestures on OnePlus in Android 10 (OxygenOS 10) update
Here is how to get th old swipe gestures from Android 9 Pie on OnePlus phones running Android 10 (OxygenOS 10). Revert back to old Oxygen OS swipe gesture navigation on OnePlus 5/6/7/8.
www.androidsage.com
I think this method just disables the "swipe from left/right = back" function.
It does not enable "swipe up from bottom left or bottom right = back" like in the good old days.
I'm coming from a one+ 6... So also an adjustment for me...
I think OnePlus is trying to default all the things, left and right swipe is Google's implementation.
Me too i'm coming from a OP6 and want those gestures back, i already made a suggestion on OP site but i don't think it will happen since there were people on op8 who also wanted them but didn't get it.
Also with gestures app, i couldn't hide the navigation button bar with adb command so it wont work too
I personally like swipe from side for back. What they could do is make it work only in bottom 2/3 of the screen while the top 1/3 would be for bringing up hamburger menus. That's how it was with my old honor (which I hated) but this one feature really made sense.

Actually I think that method do bring back corner swipe = back gesture, the problem is that swipe up from bottom = home takes the whole bottom, it will get triggered with the back gesture.
You can confirm that by swipe from corner slowly, if you careful enough, you can only trigger back without trigger home action, or at least see two gestures are being triggered at once. Another proof is that after getting back home by swipe up from corner, if you open the app from recent apps switch, you can see that the app indeed got a back action(return to last page)
So I think if we can find a way to narrow the range for bottom swipe = home action, we can get this to work almost perfectly.

I have no idea what you mean dude
With Fluid Gestures, I have 3 areas at the bottom.
Left is back.
Middle is Home and Recent apps with Swipe&Hold
Right area is Back
And then I also have the Right Side set up to switch between apps.
See screenshots.

Nice, thanks for the tip. I'll try this. I have previously tried gesture apps but since Google removed that overscan item starting with 10/11 that rendered 3rd party gesture apps useless, they didn't work and I gave up. But I did not try with substratum or run in to that thread you linked.

Got it working. It wasn't working initially, then I realized I had to change from Gestures to Nav Bar Navigation within the phone settings. Thanks so much! It's getting closer to feeling like my 7 Pro!

What I mean is by using "settings put system op_gesture_button_side_enabled" method you do get the swipe up from bottom left or bottom right = back gesture. The only problem is you will always trigger swipe up from bottom = home/recent gesture alone with it, so it seems swipe up from bottom corner is not working.
I think if we can find some way to change the swipe up from bottom = home/recent gesture area, just trigger it by swipe up from bottom center we might get the original OP7 gesture to work.
Tell me the system version number, maybe I can make changes

Sorry, misread.
I thought you were talking about the NoNavbar route.
That's true.
The "settings put..." method does not work.
I do not think you can alter the bottom area to consist of 3 different touch area's. Left, center, right. And change the width of them.
But the link I provided does work.
Substratum lite, NoNavbar, Fluid Gestures.
I am using it right now...

We don't have to split the bottom area to three parts, just limit the home/recent gesture to center so it wont be triggered by swipe up from bottom corner should do the trick.

I love you.
I like "Lift phone to ear to answer a call" gesture.
I posted on Oneplus. They answer to talk to Google...
O posted on Google.., no answer.
I upgraded from OxygenOS (android 10) to KOSP 2.3 (running android 12) on my OnePlus 7 Pro. Everything about KOSP is better than OEM OOS except the stock A12 gestures. I wanted to run "Vivid Navigation Gestures" but the damn navbar was baked into the ROM.
This was the first solution I found that worked to hide the navbar! Thanks for posting!
