Can anyone confirm if the fingerprint​ gestures (tap for home, swipe left to go back, swipe right to enter multitasking view) work on Moto G5? Or is a feature exclusive to the Moto G5 Plus?
They work and work very nicely.
You need to activate this in Moto app.
Wasn't aware of this feature, enabled it now and enjoying the extra screen space!
yes just seen this video on researching moto g5 motion gestures is also available on the normal Lenovo Moto G5 too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbJoqHQ1WkI
Yes it works fine. I like the regular software buttons better though. But it's an option you can turn on or off.

I use the One button/fp nav - so the soft keys are hidden EXCEPT for the keyboard/gboard is openend ->> soft keys pop up!! Does anyone know how to prevent gboard from doing so??
No idea :/ Did not do this to me - but as I could not get rid of the extra row in gboard, I installed NextApp Keyboard and disabled gboard.

Related to gboard: in my phone the gboard app randomly flickers (very slightly - you do not always notice this) - i got rid of this by disabling hardware overlays in development options.

It does this when you have multiple keyboards/languages active, so it can show the keyboard icon that switches between them to the right of the recents button. To remove it, afaik you have to disable these extra input methods :/

No. Even with only one language navigation soft keys still pop up.

What about Google voice? Counts as another input method. I mean, just click that icon and see what options appear there. To remove the icon and the bar, have only one of those enabled. Unless there's no icon and it's just the soft keys, then idk...

I think I gotta try this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guide-hide-navigation-bar-status-bar-app-t3509747 Update: this doesn't work to hide soft keys of gboard. And you were right it works with only one language enabled, but i can't live without 2 languages..
If I install a third party keyboard, can I disable every keyboard that's preinstalled, so the navbar won't pop up anymore?
yes. Settings -> Languages & Input ->Virtual Keyboard -> Manage Keyboards
After you have activated the 3rd party keyboard - you can disable the GBoard in Settings -> Apps -> GBoard -> Disable
This way it won't be updated (saving bandwith and small amount of battery each time new version comes out).
Anyone else wish you could swipe down on the fp reader to pull down the notification bar?
I wish you could customize all of them

I love the one hand input keyboard on the Note 2; however, more often than not I am able to use two hands even in portrait mode. Is there a way to put a one hand toggle either in the notification bar toggles, or directly on the keyboard?
Currently I am having to click the settings button on the keyboard, then settings, then one hand input. In order to turn it on and off. By the time I do all this I could have fumbled my way around with one hand and written my message or URL.
Any tips on how to customize the toggles or keyboard to add this feature?
Using a third party launcher to create a custom shortcut (i personally like Nova) would probably be the easiest way

Can I create a shortcut that toggles the one hand input on and off? I know how to make shortcuts to folders and apps etc...
I am currently using Go Launcher if that helps.
So far I have been unable to find a way to make tasker do this as well.

Hello friends!
I got my LG G Pad Yesterday
Is there a way to remove the Front Touch Buttons? I couldn't see any options in Settings! Is it possible after rooting?
I plan to use only gestures for the front key button functions... May be we can use the screen real estate more effectively if we get rid of the buttons?
Any thoughts / suggestions?
I just installed an app called GMD Auto Hide from the Play Store. It provides an auto-hide feature for the touch buttons. It seems to work well, except that it overrides the setting on the phone that lets you change the button order. I want to set up the soft touch buttons so that the "back" key is on the right to match my Samsung phone. It appears that the GMD app doesn't have a setting for that. Too bad.
Does anybody know a way to get auto-hide and also customize the button positions?

Thanks for the quick reply.
With GMD auto hide, does the display get extended to the button area or the area just becomes blank?
I am thinking of using GMD gesture launcher to to replace the buttons...

It gets extended. I haven't used it very much yet, but it looks like it does the job, if you don't mind the button order.
Ok, I played with the app some more. When it replaces the soft touch keys, it puts a red line at the bottom. I did get it to put the back button on the right side, but another issue is that it puts a "recent apps" button where the menu button usually goes, then it puts a different menu button on the right edge. I wish it would l wish it had more options to set it up the way I want to.

I tried it, but it didn't work for me. The normal soft touch keys were not hidden.
GMD Gesture is fantastic. It hide autobar (your tab need to be rooted) and replace virtual button by gesture that you can define by yourself. Moreover, the developper is very reactive..

Thanks. GMD does the job quite well. I overlooked the status bar on/off part in GMD?

To hide and / or replace the navigation buttons on Xperia M I would like to recommend GMD AutoHide Soft Keys.
I have installed it and it works perfect
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/themes-apps/root-gmd-autohide-soft-keys-t2253770
It is highly customizable
You can set the bar that appears when you slide from the bottom and hide by tapping the side
This lets you use the phone with the slightly larger screen
regards
Nice
Works great
Thanks for the tip. One problem I keep having is hitting the home key instead of the space bar while texting. Very annoying! I will try this app and see if I can solve this problem and report back.
Edit: Okay, after a few hours playing with it (pro version) here are my experiences with it with Xperia M:
1) Changed my wallpaper without asking
2) Removed alarm notification from top notification tray, had to reset (turn off then on) my alarms to get it back
3) Removed battery percentage symbol from top notification tray, had to toggle it off and on in settings to get it back
4) "Spoof Soft Keys" option does nothing. What's it supposed to do? I am assuming it would make a clear space where the regular softkeys would be in effect pushing everything back up but toggling that option does nothing at all.
5) The quickbar does not work (cannot be swiped or tapped into view) when the far right icon "Recent Apps Button" is selected. You have to tap somewhere on the screen in order to back get out of recent apps view (the small apps launcher is probably too blame)
6) The selectable Xperia icons in the app are not the same as our Xpermia M icons
Edit 2
7) App doesn't work automatically on reboot with Xperia M. I had to actually click on its icon to get it to work again after a reboot. No good, uninstalled it
theres an alternative for hide nav bar, using UDN lite
original thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270198
use xposed to work properly
works great on stock and cm 11 beta 3
UDN + Xposed is perfect

Yes, after two days of testing UDN is working fine for me too. Just sucks that you have to install a seperate module (Xposed) to make it work

You can use build.prop to hide the soft key navigator, so Xposed is no need. But I don't like this method, this seems to be a pain when undo if this UDN suddenly stop working
I use Gravitybox on my Nexus so I'd like to do the same on the OP3.
It looks like the OP3 has physical nav buttons, which is to say, I can't add to that with anything.
Is there an IME switcher that shows up anywhere when typing for easily switching between keyboards? What about adding arrows for cursor navigation. I use Swiftkey for my keyboard, so unless I enable the keyboard row, there's no way to move the cursor with it. On the Nexus, I used the function in Gravity box to add cursor keys to the nav bar, but OP3 having physical buttons seems like it would put a stop to that too.
If I keep it stock and used systemless root/xposed/etc via Magisk, would it pass safetynet checks as it does on the Nexus when I turn them off?
Are there any other caveats I'd need to look out for?
(And in the interest of fairness, what would likely be the best improvements I notice too?)
You can enable navigation bar on the oneplus 3, even if there is physicals buttons.
The IME switcher will show up in the navbar if you enable it, or in the notification if you don't.
I don't know about root and safetynet

Enable by way of default options or if I'm using Gravitybox specifically?

There is an option on the settings of the stock rom:good:
Welp, the physical size is bigger than I was hoping, but I can't find a better option on all the other specs.
This is most likely the only viable phone then and will be what I end up getting.
We shall see.
If needed you can use LMT to display the "pie" and customize actions.

That looks like it may do what I want.
I'm not quite familiar with it, can you make it so if I call it up, it persists until I dismiss it?
Thinking along the lines of bringing up a menu with "[<] [Dismiss] [>]" to let me do multiple arrow presses.
If that's doable, then that would fully take care of what I'm looking for.
Hello! I'm hoping that I can disable the soft navigation bar, and go to a more traditional Fire OS style of navigation, using swipe navigation.
I found a post caliming that "PImp my rom" can disable the nav bar, but it didn't seem to respond to the tweak option, and I still have the soft nav bar
Thank you,
cheers
***Solved***

But expandable Desktop doesnt set the on screen keys to disable, only hide. They'll still show if you're swiping up.
Adding a new line with qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to root/system/build.prop with a text editor Will permanently disable on-screen keys. It would have been handy if there was a UI shortcut for that somewhere.
Anyway I force-disabled Screen buttons, set Double tap to recent apps, and hold button to google now. Then bought the app you suggested to set all 3 swipe from bottom gestures to mimic the back function. Now the navigation feels just like FireOS's except amazon search assistant is replaced with google and I love it.

Using a prop editor, I was able to add h qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 to root/system/build.prop <-- fantastic fix
I then customized the home button to do double tap-- app library, and hold-- switch back to last app.
Swipe Navigation works wonders, just as Chocolina stated above
Better solution
If you want to completly disable navigation bar soft keys then you must install slim kat,you can easily completly disable the soft keys and can add swipe up navigation just like amazon..i m also using slim kat rom and i have personally tested all roms but look wose slim kat is the best rom and no bugs in it..i have also disabled the system navigation keys and added swipe up to go back and hold home button for recent apps.
