So I've been trying out the wrist gesture feature which seems cool, but is it just me or does only some of the Gestures work? If I shake the watch it, the display comes on, I can scroll through cards but that's it, no other Gestures work?
Is this the same for everyone? Wondering if my watch is faulty.
gesture are just for :
- activate screen , normal movement use
- scrool card up and down
nothing else
You've been looking at the google help pages for android wear? The other gestures will come with 1.4.
Gestures on google help pages.

Wondering if there is option to turn on the double tap to dim screen and triple tap on the button for max brightness in aw2?
Just updated but it seems like the funtion is not there by default. It's one of the more useful shortcut I constantly use with aw1.5.
No such thing.
Yeah, they removed all the essential functionality I was using frequently. Good job.
I agree it was a mistake to remove this feature. Google specifically made AW 2.0 for the LG Watch Sport though and said forget everyone else without an ambient light sensor. The Bubble Launcher dev recently found a way to add the shortcut back, but it breaks the Assistant shortcut in the process.

Hi all,
I moved from oneplus 5 to 5t and the lack of hardware buttons is really bothering me. I don't like the software buttons at all. So is there a way to make gestures for the fingerprint sensor ( like swipe down for notification bar). For example double tap to go to home screen and swipe left/right for back/forward.
It's already there, the swipe down for notifications, controlled by the finger print sensor.

Yes I know that but I am asking for double tap or hold or swipe left or right. And maybe change the swipe down to something else then notifications.

It requires FingerprintGestureController API which is only available in Android Oreo

I would like to see 'long-touch to take a photo' gesture work in every app that takes photos, like 3rd party cameras, messenger, snapchat etc.
Anyone knows where can we suggest/request this? Is this even possible?
Hi, I'm asking here instead of opening a new thread. I'm not an expert but I managed to get what I wanted after hard reasearch, but I don't want to spend hours before knowing it can be done or not.
I see that OP5t can open notification with swipe down on the fingerprint scanner or take a photo when holding the finger on the scanner. And this works without me having to register my fingerprint. What I'd like to achieve is using swipe on fingerprint sensor for scrolling content (a chrome page or other apps, like ebook reader) without registering my fingerprint. This is because I really don't use fingerprint at all (I actually never lock my phone in any way) yet I'd like to use the fingerprint scanner as long it is there (it's completely useless for me, right now).
I couldn't find anyone who did this and I don't want to spend hours learning how to do all of this and then find out it can't be done as I want. I even got tasker but can't find a "fingerprint swipe" variable. I saw several apps for fingerprint scanner gestures but: 1. they don't let me "scroll" pages and 2.they all ask for registering my fingerprint.
Summing up: I want to know whether you can add gestures to the fingerprint scanner. Is it possible without registering my fingerprint? If so, is it possible to assign swiping "scroll" as gesture?

Hey absolute85!

I use this app for fingerprint gestures. It doesn't have a lot of support, probably abandoned, but gets the job done. The only bugs I have is the slight lag for single swipe actions when you enable double swipe gestures but that too is understandable because the app is waiting to see if there's a second swipe. I haven't really tried it without registering a fingerprint but it shouldn't have an issue. Might be worth shot!

Thank you for your answer. Yes, that's very close to what I'm looking for. However I should buy the pro version, but I'd like to know if you can give some feedback about that. Using "swipe on screen" commands performs a swipe starting from the edge. So, for instance, when it performs "swipe screen down" it opens notification panel. I see there's "scroll", but I'd like to be sure that it works properly before purchasing it. Moreover it would be nice if it is sensitive so that if I swipe halfway it scrolls less than if I swiped all the way down with my finger (I hope you understood). Anyway it's already useful, I can use it at least on my e-reader up with swipe left and right on the scanner, thanks.

I don't really use those PRO features so never found the need to upgrade. Although had the dev been more active I might have just done it to support him. You can always buy it and if not useful claim a refund no? I think that policy extends to this. I'm not sure though. Glad I could help!
Thanks. Anyway I noticed that after installing it I had a change on chrome. When I open new tabs I see them as a list instead of little windows (like the multitasking for apps). When I uninstall it, everything goes back as before. Is there any setting in chrome to restore?
You guys using them?
It is good and I wanted to use them badly but one main thing I am missing is the additional gestures that the navigation buttons had with them.
I use to double tap on recent button to switch screen off which is not possible to do with new gestures.
Having additional app or using the physical button is what I wanted to avoid.
have been using them long time ago with the app swipe navigation. Works perfectly once you get used to it.
I'm a minimalist. I have my dock & notification bar hidden also. Love that clean approach. Best part is if anyone finds/steals it, that are clueless.
Has there been a port of the new swipe guestures to nougat? I'm on 7.1.1
I am using gesture swipes, it is nice way to use phone without buttons... For double tap to lock, there is way if you are using Nova for example.....
With Beta 7 you can double tap to sleep without nav bar
You lose all of the additional gestures you have with the navbar, but in my opinion it looks way cleaner and really emphasizes the big display. And also one less spot risking permanent burn-in!
While I do like the off-screen gestures, and do use them, I actually prefer Motorola's gestures where you can quickly 'wave' you're phone in the air and the flashlight turns on, or how you can give the phone a flick and the camera app open. It's faster IMO.
But I still would prefer a Oneplus 5t over any Motorola anyday.
Love em, with an advanced launcher like Action or Nova you've got a ton more gestures that can be assigned covering the lost shortcuts on the nav buttons and then some. Speaking for myself I've got leftover swipes and taps that remain unassigned and can get to anything I use with regularity with a single touch. I liked some of the Motorola stuff myself, like Oneplus they've kept to a mostly stock experience with genuinely useful adds that don't detract from the "stockness". For some reason I really liked being able to change the ok google command to whatever I wanted and that would probably be my top pick if Oneplus were to, ahem, borrow, something from them.
Disabled them all got tired of accidentally turning the flashlight on
What I think would be the most useful feature is iPhone's double tap (not click) to bring down UI on top. Android should support this native long ago...
Needs tweaking..Still using xposed edge gestures, because I'd like for swipe up Near back button for back, swipe up near home bottom to home, and swipe up near recents to recents. i only use this mode to disable annoying nav bar easily

This can be done with many of the launchers although swipe down (anywhere) fits in better with the notification shade as it already expands via swipe down. I suspect the reason it and many other things aren't standard is a lack of consensus. With the shade already working with swipes many of us have double tap allocated elsewhere the most common usage probably being for sleep and wake purposes.
It's always hard to tell the level of experience users have so don't take this the wrong way... Your post suggests you might want to consider taking a few launchers for a test drive because no matter what you like there is one that works better than what came stock.
Anyone know if this setting is hidden somewhere?
there is no setting for this implemented in the firmware.
Lame. I love this feature, I thought it was native to Android 8.0
I use "fingerprint quick action" app. Lets you set actions on touching the sensor and swiping. I have it set to go Home on touch and to toggle the notification drawer when swiping and it works fairly well for the most part.
As the title said... I use a lot lmt launcher and i orefer to use it as border Action (left and right).
In op7 i had lower gesture that are very very usefull. In op9pro there aren't this type of gesture and the only way to use the gesture is with the "workaround" on xxx_nolimts that disable the lateral "back". But... Xxx_nolimts still not be supported and i think that when op start with android 12 rollout will not work anymore.
Any ideas to obtain the old lower gestures?
Hi,
Unfortunately you can't.
Have you tried Substratum Lite, No_Nav.apk and Fluid Gestures Navigation ?
That's what I use to have swipes for back at the bottom. Left and right side: swipe for back.
Middle bottom: swipe for home.
And swipe for next or previous app at the right of the screen, with 2 zones.
custom roms allow nav off to allow for overlay gestures
Thanks... Is what i need! I will try
