Hello,
Quick question. After I flashed the QPE rom on M8 there seems to be no quick way to access the "Auto Rotate Screen" except by going through the settings --> display.
I tried to download widgets from playstore but they didn't work.
Does anyone know any solution?
Thanks,
Anyone have a solution?

Hi, Punira...
Have you tried this...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kennethcheng.com.autorotate
Used it for three years on a variety of Android devices, and it works on my stock M8.

Thanks!
Thanks,
This works great!!
Can't you use the quick setting panel? Pull down the notification panel with 2 fingers will take you immediately there & tap "Auto Rotate". If Auto Rotate is not, you should be able to edit the shortcuts & add it (at least in stock form).

Correct... He could just have removed one of the less important quick settings and added the auto rotate. Like DND, something that I personally never used and probably won't, so might as well remove that one and add auto rotate.

Yeah... this is a more elegant solution to the one I posted earlier. Just wasn't sure if the OPs Custom ROM would allow it.
@Punira
Afraid I don't know anything about the QPE rom you have installed... but if it's anything like HTC Sense factory stock, you should be able to edit the quick settings tiles.
See my attached screenshots... pull down the quick settings tiles (with two fingers on stock) and tap on the edit button, circled in red in my attached screenshot.
You can then drag'n'drop tiles accordingly... including adding the Auto-Rotate tile .
Hope this helps... and good luck.

Hi all,
Like the above said, I've been looking for something that could make me easily control the brightness setting, by using gestures, like for say, two finger swipe up or down will increase or decrease the phone brightness. Because to think about it, in my case, I've been pulling down those notification panel whole day every day, because I'm always in and out the door.
If there such an app, I would be really thankful if you could point me to it. Cause I've been looking, but none actually do the thing that I wanted it to.
Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to obtain gesture controls as in 9.5.14 with an App or Flashable zip?or is it there included in any custom ROMs?

You Can Find A Ton Of "Pie Style" Gesture Controls On The Playstore..
And it's my understanding that some of the custom ROM's have gestures baked in.
But NONE of them will work as good as the gesture option that come with MIUI 9.
To have the whole lower half of the Left and Right edges to swipe in on.. as well as the whole lower bezel to swipe up on...
Well... I can never go back to reaching for specific areas to push a buttons..
So I guess I'm stuck on a Stock or Debloated version of MIUI 9 / 10 as long as I own this device.

When you have used GMD gesture, you will never revert back to those less-appealing solution. Current gesture implementation only only for certain gesture. But GMD gesture allow you to create custom gesture, limiting to certain edge detection, multiple touch point support, per-app setting, and many built-in function, including shortcut to tasker/automagic task/flow. It requires root, however consider you are willing to flash a zip, you must have root access already.
Good news is the app almost doesn't drain extra battery. I have Automagic and GMD Gesture running 24/7, still got similar battery life compared to others, 10-12 hours in 1-1,5 days. This app is one of the reason I still root till dates.
Take A Look...

Hmm , thanks for the detailed stats on battery life because that's something to consider when you run it 24/7.

Damn , should check it out. Got few more hours to unlock bootloader.
Quick question.
Is there a good app that lets you swipe on the screen to pull notification panel down?
I do like the finger swipe on the fingerprint reader but lets face it, it doesn't work well.
I use to use Nova on all my phones, I thought I'd def use it on pixel but I'm buggled on how much I love and how well the pie gestures work for my phone use.
Just tried for fun Hyperion launcher and I can tell you it felt so great to swipe down the screen to pull the notification. I wish I could use just that option alone, nothing else but sadly Hyperion just like Nova changes the lancher as well.
Ps
I know there was a similar thread but no solution other then second party launchers. Thought I'd ask again, may be someone came up with a solution.

No, probably because the stock 1 or 2 finger swipe down from the notification bar already works very well? Two fingers from the bar down opens notifications fully. I use Nova as well and it doesn't interfere with this function. You can also use Nova gestures to get what you're looking for either in a single swipe or double tap to fully open notifications.

I didn't mean inside notification, 2 finger wipes etc.
I ment to open notification in general.
Any launcher will detour me from using stock launcher and I find the stock launcher very convenient for my personal use. I can't believe it but my life is a ton simpler with it. As I've noted before, I love Nova and have use it for many, many years but with pixel 3 it came to an end. I hated stock launcher in original reviews but after using it, to keep stock launcher without a finger swipe for notification makes more sense and I can't believe I'm saying this right now.
Sucks, but I need another way, or a launcher that will be exactly the same as pie.
Ps I realize I'm prolly out of luck but it's worth a try to ask, may be just may be someone has figured another way.
For now solved it with T swipe gestures. I swipe from the right edge to bring notifications down. Not ideal but better than nothing.
So I was investigating a little about the matter, I noticed that
A) albeit not visible, it was in the settings app's layouts as gesture_navigation_bar_deprecated
in op_navigation_bar_gestures_settings.xml
B) it had settings(op_gesture_button_side_enabled and others) I could manipulate through adb
What I have found out:
If you run
adb shell settings put system op_gesture_button_side_enabled 0
the back gesture gets put back to the bottom edge. However it isn't all good, as the assistant gesture stays in the corner, and the home/appswitcher gesture gets triggered a lot too, when using the back gesture.
I hope someone has an idea how to improve on this, as in its current form it is highly useless, and I wouldn't recommend it.
OMG PLEASE keep investigating this. i am desparate to change back to old Oneplus gestures!!
What's the benefit to the OnePlus gestures?

The back gestures is from bottom edge either side, so it doesn't conflict with almost every app as Google's implementation does

Interesting but it could be code that has not been cleaned up, it may disappear in a future release.
If you want old OnePlus gestures, you can use : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.nobar
With option "Split the pill in 3" and "Hide navbar", you can have (and customize) the same old OnePlus gestures.

Ohhhhhh, in that case IDK why they took that away cause Google's gestures definitely gets in the way. It takes some getting used to.

I wouldn't mind Google's if it was just on lower half of the screen or even just on the right side. I wonder if we can modify this.
hi, i tried everything, but finally using Fluid gesture , highly recommend for anyone in search for smooth customization gestures

Actually if you do a curve swipe, where it seems like you're swiping on the edge a but, it opens the hamburger menu and does not trigger back. Takes time to get used to, but once you do, it's just never misses anymore.

Yeah I do that, but it doesn't always work, for example Discord starts scrolling so this doesn't work 50% of the time
Yeah I can't stand Google's just a navigation I love the old one plus full screen navigation gestures and the reason I'm still on the OnePlus 6t is because I really don't want to lose that option.

Hi, if you go > Settings > Apps >Default Apps > Assist app > Assist app > None you can disable corner google assistant.
I've tried it and google assistant dissapear from the corner, but as you say gesture gets triggered a lot. Surely there is some parameters we can change via ADB to make it work smoothly...

But then you lose assistant, which isn't ideal either. Don't really have time for investigating further, hope by the time I do it won't be necessary.

I just read on offical OnePlus forums about the L-shaped gesture to open the hamburger menus. Just swipe a little bit down on the left side and then to the right. It will open the hamburger menu and works from top to bottom. Another method is using the two finger swipe from the left border to the right. I'm quite pleased with this solution. It's a pitty they don't documented it in the changelog.
Of course is Fluid Navigation a nice solution to get more advanced gestures.
For anyone interested in adding Motorola's fantastic chop for flashlight and twist for camera I recommend this app
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...vitygestures-moto-actions-alike-t3383760/amp/
It lets you program five different motion gestures to any app and even allows you to fine-tune it. The only caveat is for the gesture to work you have to turn your screen on first. You don't have to unlock it. I just press the side the button then do gesture.
The closest thing to Motorola's far superior gusture and navagation. I wish the OEMs would just scrap theirs and go with Motorola's.

I have Assistant linked to the power button. It's another option you can use instead. It's an official settings option.

Another way of doing this (which is what I usually do now) is to tap and hold on the very edge of the screen until the side menu peeks out. Then slide it open.
