GESTURES - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Questions & Answers

Is there any custom ROM that have the gestures like stock miui?

There are roms that have gestures, but they work without these beautiful animations, for example when you go home there is no such thing as moving app upwards and minimizing to icon, when you swipe up it just close the app just like with navbar. Not sure how it works on Flyme Os, but on Flyme Os 6.8 I believe, there are implemented gestures from MIUI, but trust me, it's not as smooth and nice as on stock MIUI. Maybe on Flyme Os 7.0+ are better gestures, but when I was looking for this version, there was nothing for Mi Mix 2

Install and configure this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.edgegestures
Disable navbar.

I'm using Gesture Control which works really nicely, I've got it setup to match MIUI's implementation: swipe up from the bottom for home, in from the right for back, and in from the left for switching to the most previously used app.

Thx for the reply, I will stay in MIUI , I don't see a big improvement by switching to custom ROMs.

Yeah, MIUI is just one of the best UIs and I really don't think there's a need to change to custom software, unless Android Pie, but that's just because it's kinda new and fresh

Good Alternative to Exodus?

Hey Guys,
I've been on Exodus for a long time. It seems as though there is not going to be a Nougat Exodus for some time so I am looking to move to another ROM.
Anybody can make a recommendation to a Nougat alternative to Exodus? I'd like to keep is as vanilla Android as possible.
What are your must have features from exodus? I would recommend you any OOS base rom just because of camera but someone else may recommend you another one.
Im curious about exodus features you want though
Where is the home option in nougat update? How can i switch from default oneplus launcher to any other launcher and vice versa
@fuarkgl3
It was plain, stable, and smooth. That's pretty much why I liked Exodus so much.

Just go to "apps" in settings and press on the settings button. Actually you will find two: the three dot button and a cogwheel. I am talking about the cogwheel.
There you can choose the default launcher app, browser app, music app and so on...
Thanks
One more problem is when I go to customize, there is no option for Google search bar, there are only GESTURES AND ICONS options, earlier it was there to add Google search bar to my home screen. Now it's gone.... How can I get it back
So, pretty much official OxygenOS would be my best bet?

Why are you asking this in this thread?

full screen gestures

I've enabled full screen gestures and I'm using Google keyboard with swipe.
Afkomst every time I start with the letter p, I'm using the back feature. Quite annoying.
Anyone experiencing the same and has a possible solution?

Xposed + Gravity Box + Enable Pie Control, then just configure the trigger edges the way you like.
Works so much better than the gesture control.

I recommend Edge gestures from the play store.

I've had some bad experiences with Xposed lately, phone froze for over a minute after receiving a call. I think Xposed and GB are a bit overkill for this. But thanks anyway for your suggestion.

Look into LMT launcher then.
Unlike it's name it actually isn't a launcher but a very minimalistic open implementation of Pie controls.
It requires root to function properly but at least no Xposed is involved.

I might try that. But the choice is between either on screen buttons or gestures in Miui. How do I disable gestures in Miui without having the buttons?

Thing is that I don't want the on screen buttons and I do want MIUI full screen gestures. I guess that's not possible, in MIUI it's one or the other. I'll have to live with that or use another launcher. Minor issue, since the phone is working excellent!
Yeah for that your only options at the moment are either to run the unofficial RR build with Arasthel's gestures baked in or Xposed plus Xposed Edge module.
The next best thing you could go for other than that would be XDA's gestures application, but that one simulates the gestures as found on the iPhone / OnePlus devices, so they work a bit differently (the back gesture works differently).
You can edit your buildprop to tell your phone you have hardware keys. It will then remove the navbar for you. You can then use edge gestures, Swipe navigation etc.

Easy if your are using magisk.
1.- Disable gestures.
2.- Install "Hide navigation bar" magisk module.
Best regards.
Or disable them via a adb setprop command without requiring root, etc.

Where i can find the RR rom with miui gestures
Andy Yan's thread. It's a collection of roms he compiles.
Make gboard smaller by entering one hand mode, then relocate keyboard in the middle. I use this with Huawei Mate 10 Pro and it's the only way I can still use the full screen gestures and enjoy the experience.

Is there any custom Rom with Full-Screen Gestures

I trieyof Miui Roms
Is there Any Custom Rom With Full-Screen Gestures
Because I Loved Them Most..
I want to know too.
Hey there, I'm using Edge Gestures . It's definately worth it [1,59€] I'm on RR and really missed Xiaomis FS Gestures. So I found this app. It's not exactly the same experience, but 90% reliable. I think, since it's not ported from MIUI, edge gestures is fine enough. I've set up pretty the same functionality but its coming without that UI that you know from MIUI ("drops from the sides" or that "pushing actual screen into the middel" to get recent menu). I'm satisfied with that.
There are nevertheless some few bugs. F.ex. in youtube or netflix i cannot use sometimes the gestures, so i have to minimize it with the inside app actions.
Edge gestures is present in LOS extended and RR(I haven't tested all roms so I'm not sure if other roms support it too

yeah, but you cant customize it. With the official app you can set up things like exact position, like thickness, offset, seperate hold timeout, swipe treshold, other swipe actions... and the implemented one in RR seems to be a little bit buggy (for me)
AEX has full screen gestures too, and they work really well

Any Android 10 ROM with Recent Apps customization?

Hi, I’d love to have a way to customize the Recent Apps screen on Android 10.
It’s been many months now and there are many Android 10 ROMs, but as far as I know, none of them offer a custom Recents screen.
I always liked Omni Switch/Slim Recents, and only used ROMs that included these. But I’d also settle for a grid or something like that. I don’t like Quickswitch at all, switching between apps takes so long when only one of them is shown at a time rather than 10+.
There were plenty of ROMs with Recents customization for Android 8/9, and I’d love this on Android 10!
So if anyone knows of a ROM or a way to change the recents on the newest version of Android, just let me know.
Thanks!
I know right, every month I clean flash the latest q roms over havoc 2.9(pie) hoping I get some new features but nope. No screen stabilization, no slim recents, no random animations, hotspot issues, bloody hell reachability cursor doesn't work either. Q feels like such a downgrade, I'm just gonna stay on havoc 2.9 until Android 11.
Tl: dr, no q rom has it yet just stay on pie.
I just released an alternative to that app, you can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quickcursor
Thanks!
AOSP Extended ROM allows u to switch between Pie And Oreo recent style

Question I am looking for a custom rom or an app/tool to customize and change recents app view

Hi there
Could anyone help me on this matter?
I am looking to customize and change the recents app view, I think it is called the overview window as well, as i do not like the way it looks on android 12, when it shows the app screenshots side by side and you have to scroll through them.
I'd like a lighter, simpler way to use the recents app screen, does anyone know of a custom rom that let's me do this or a tool that can let me customize the app switcher?
Thank you
the new version of poco launcher (4.xx) has an option to change it

Are you on an AOSP Custom ROM? I know there's "QuickSwitch" on GitHub. It lets you change the 'Recents' to that of another installed launcher, however the launcher must support being the Recents-provider.
QuickSwitch is good for when you're on MIUI and like to have the AOSP 'Recents' by selecting Lawnchair as the Recents-provider.
Other than that... MIUI has a vertical Recents option as well. Some versions of MIUI don't have the vertical option, IDK why... I have it on my Xiaomi.eu Custom ROM (MIUI 13).
