Hi,
I switched from an iPad Air to the Pixel C and I am really happy with it except from two things.
Using an iPad I somehow got used to using a lot of gestures:
-Two finger zoom gesture on videos to make them go fullscreen
-5 finger pinch gesture to exit to homescreen
-4 finger swipe up to show multitasking
-4 finger swipe left/right to switch to previous/next multitasking app
And I am really, really missing this. It's the only thing I would love to see on the Pixel C.
Does anybody know how this can be added?
The other thing I miss, is an only-front cover. I know that a small part of the back is magnetic and so they COULD create a semi-only-front-cover. But sadly I didn't found any...
You can try the Nova Launcher for some gestures. In PlayStore / xposed framework you can find other gesture apps.
For the cover: believe me... We're all searching for a only front-cover too

Yeah, that is SO true! I want that front-only cover that can fold into a stand. I have a ProCase, and although it's a great case, I don't appreciate adding even more weight to a tablet that's already rather heavy.

I know the Nova Launcher, but as far as I know, it just supports gestures on the homescreen. Also I currently like the google launcher.
BUT I just found a root app which I will try at the weekend.
...Unfortunately I think there is no solution for the pinch at video gesture because of the way android works (but I could be wrong though)

Well at the end it´s player related. The MX Player has pinch gesture support. Take a look in Playstore

That's what I thought. On iOS they have only one player which plays every video, don't matter where. This is pretty neat.
(Or does MX player also override everything ?)

Wonderful app that uses the edge very well for edge swipes. I bought the paid app a long time ago so I don't know what the free version offers (if there even is one lol)
Once you get it set up with the icon packs and folders it's great. I've completely removed all apps and folders from my home screen.
here are a few screen shots.

Nice find, lots of customization even in the free version, Cheers
Very nice!! I bought the full version!! We MUST support good developers (IMHO)
I bought the full version as well!!
supporting development is a must!
One thing that I am VERY excited about is coupling this with Zooper Widgets, and PopUp Widget!!
I'll post pics of what I come up with.

Definitely loads of potential with those 2 apps involved.

It doesn't really use the Edge though. Looks like the icons are much bigger than the edge size, aren't they?
Super app but does not use the edge

Love this app, thanks for sharing.
Amazing app. Bought it after using it for 2 minutes. Thanks for sharing
The Best Edge App I've ever had. Makes other apps gimmicks.
And I really like the floating widget.
This + Action Launcher == Widget Master.

when you search spell out Apps with the S for some reason with out the S it didnt show up in the first searches i did:good:

Another +1 for Glovebox! I tried Apps Bar too -- it was nice but Glovebox has more customization. FluffyR's comment about XS density is exactly what i needed/wanted. Also the fact that it supports icon packs is excellent, i'm using the one i have with Nova Launcher.
Always buy full version. We have a good amount of good devs and the more we support the more good devs we'll have in the future. Great app dn good find OP
This app is amazing and smoother than any other side bar app.

I like it a lot, but sometimes it takes a while to open apps from it, anybody else experience the same?
If I open the app from the drawer it opens straight away, so I expect it to be caused by Glovebox...

I loved the app but looks like there's some issue with my phone or I'm missing out some settings. I have the clock widget on my phone and whenever I use it, it starts from the bottom of it and doesn't covers the whole soon rather just the part below the clock widget. The same happens in the app drawer as well, would love a solution for that.

I am facing the same issue, it takes longer to open a app from glovebox than opening the same app from homescreen even when the app is in the recent app list.
It takes even longer if you have cleared all running apps and then you open a app from glovebox. Another than this lag issue rest all great.
I already bought the app and used it but went back to the old homescreen setup since it took so long to switch between and open new apps
Hi guys, I got my leather G4 today, very happy about it My question is what launcher do you guys use and any general tips in handling the phone? Also what kind of cover/screen protector should I buy for it?
Have a good day!
Its up to you. Experiment and see what you like. I like Nova Prime. As for protection, I like this leather backed phone naked
+1 for Nova Prime.

What do you guys think about L Launcher?
Nova is super fast, but it doesn't work with smart bulletin. I'm sticking with the stock launcher.
Nova Prime here too. I wanted to stick with the stock launcher for the smart features, but I just couldn't.
I'm going to give the stock launcher a week before I go back to Nova Prime. I just like the customization from Nova to much.
Anyone know if the Smart Clock still works on Nova?

Nothing OEM specific works with anything but OEM launcher. That's not LG-specific, but how all the OEM's operate. The only way to get an OEM-specific widget/app to work on a non OEM-launcher is to have someone export the APK or flash file to install/flash on non OEM launchers.
Nova... So fast and neat

Using nova prime but just noticed that my stock messaging app gives me an error when using it. It says "app is not installed". Anyone else?
There's a thread about that. It seems that it applies especially to the Verizon model. I don't use the stock messenger app, so I don't know.
L Launcher is always the best

I've been using Lucid Launcher Pro for as long as I can remember now (G4 since day 1 and when I still had my SGS5). I love it and can't recommend it enough.
I'm looking for a launcher for my G4 that supports the double tap screen on and off feature. I miss the customization of apex.
Edit... I figured a work around[emoji1]
Forme : it's stock lg or Apex....
On lauchers it's extremely rare to have the option for to move apps as we want on the drawer !!!! it's so much useful for me !
All stocks homes can do this (lg ui , s-touchwiz....)
And Nova prime doesn't have this option i believe...
i prefer so much to have functional options ...but lots of "style" options, no...
I second that, @jbdan
there's a zooper widget that emulates the smart notice

You might as well say what you did, posts like "nvm figuered it out" are not exactly well received in forums, especially by those who land here through Google.
I might elaborate on this as well:
If you are rooted, you can use GMD GestureControl (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodmooddroid.gesturecontrol&hl=de)
To configure it to lock the screen on double tap, you need the paid version though. I bought the app because I seriously dig gesture control.
Without root, you can for example use Nova Prime. The paid version allows you to use gestures like double tap.
Now, regardless which of those apps you use, you configure a double tap gesture to launch an app. Screen Off and Lock (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=de) for example.
When the screen is on or off but still locked, the stock double tap feature will still work, screen just needs to be locked. I use Nova Prime, "double tap to turn off" doesn't work with it, but "double tap to turn on" does.
btt: I combined Nova Prime with Popup Widget (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.popupWidget&hl=de), I can swipe over icons to launch a specific widget, which is really awesome.
Guys any idea on how to get the battery, storage and app management short cuts that are available in the "Management" folder on the default launcher home screen on a third party launcher like nova or Google launcher
For me nova prime is the best.
Hi guys,
Does anyone know whether there is a ROM available that implements navigation gestures like OxygenOS on the OnePlus? I am not talking about a few apps that allow you to configure gestures and hide the navbar., but a fluid implementation like on the OnePlus with proper animations / transitions
Cheers

You can get the gestures with apps but you can't get the animations since no one has that
Somebody would need to port the animations first which no one has done

I know you posted this a while ago but I'm looking for something like this too. I have tried the gesture apps but it doesn't look complete because the animations don't really match. The only ROM that I've found that has a decent animation is COSP. watch at 35 seconds to see the app close animation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9laYATUFYQ

That close animation is also in Lawnchair 2 launcher. you can find it HERE
Honestly I much prefer the gestures on Q to OP, swiping from the edge for back is imo better than swiping up from bottom left or right.

Hi all. New on this phone, I've searched for this but could not find, so maybe someone here could help me. Is there a gesture to quickly turn off screen (had a gesture on my old nexus that was double tapping home button)?
Thanks in advance!
You could try 'Edge sense plus' (check the play store) to use the squeeze function to turn off the screen instead of launching the assistant. Personally I use nova launcher and swipe up to turn off the screen.
I'm sure there are other alternatives as well, but that's my 2 cents
I use the app called edge gestures on the play store. Works very well for me!

Is that the app that costs 1,77? Wich are the possible gestures for screen off?
Do you have the possibility to use the fingerprint sensor to turn screen off?
Thanks!
Yeah it does cost some money but I can't remember exactly how much. There is a native screen lock option for Android 9+ and I don't think there is any fingerprint gesture. It's primarily for the edges of your screen.

You could try turning on accessibility menu in the accessibility settings if you don't mind having a small icon to the right of the pill at the bottom of the screen. When you click it, there are several options given and lock screen is one. It's not a simple gesture swipe or a simple double tap but it may be an option.

Tried that, and it works, it appears a person button, and when you press it, it gives a lot of options, and the lock screen is one of them. I will keep using until a easier solution if found. I can not believe android will not include a gesture option for this by default.
I hate to have to press a button to lock the screen, they end up breaking/wearing so fast.
Thanks all for your responses, and other solutions are welcome. Cheers! :good:

Forgot to mention though that with it, when you open the camera app, you'll get this '5 second burst' label on the screen that some find annoying but I, for one, don't mind it.
Oh and when you're down and feeling blue, that small person icon seems to be ready to give a hug so just look at your phone. Hahaha

Check this widget out. It is invisible and adds double tap to lock functionality to any launcher.

Works without root in Android P or with root in Oreo and lower. In both cases, fingerprint unlocking works afterwards.

Nova launcher works for recent apps. But the gesture is not as fluid as it would be with the stock launcher. Try using good lock app and customize with one handed operation.
What do you mean by 'customize with one handed operation'? What does that have to do with the gesture?
