How to enable three button navigation? - Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers

Is there any way to enable three button navigation in the native launcher or a third party launcher on the Pixel 3a XL, Android version 9 with March 5 security patch?

Read the how to root the pixel 3a xl forum thread. It's in there. It requires that you have an unlocked bootloader and you are rooted.

Correcto. All in the thread.

I'm pretty much used to the gesture navigation.. Seems to be the way of the future for Google

User a 3rd party launcher and remove the Pixel Launcher. I used Titanium Backup to freeze it, then after a reboot I got the 3 button navigation again. I also use Customer Navigation Bar to swap the back/home button around.

Thanks everyone!

Android 10 remove Google search bar

I GOT THE OTA Android 10 update a couple of days ago and Nova launcher no longer functions completely.
I am customizing the Pixel launcher and would like to remove the Google search bar on the home screen.
I would also like the screens to wrap around.
Can I do these things?

Can't do those things with the stock pixel launcher to my knowledge. However, a modified pixel launcher might do the trick if your rooted. Look in this thread, and talk to @Tulsadiver to see if he can make one for you. What exactly isn't Nova launcher doing for you? Seems to be working fine for me.

You can't remove Google search bar because it's part of Google launcher

You can remove the Google search bar, resize the icons and choose how many columns you want in the all-apps area and how many in the hot spot on the home page by using my Pixel Launcher zip installer. Plus background colors and text colors.
Choose one of the bases for No-Google search, flash anything else you like, lastly, flash complete installation. There will be a zip file created on your sdcard in a folder called ozop. Flash that via magisk manager.

The search bar is not removable from the Pixel Launcher dock, and the Pixel Launcher does not support infinite scroll for screens. You'll have to use a custom launcher to do that, which leads to my question: what's not working properly on Nova Launcher? I've encountered no troubles with it on Android 10.
I have a Verizon edition so bone stock. Android 10 broke my adb command as well as the Custom Nav app. Hopefully issue is resolved soon.

I use 3 button navigation and when I display all the tasks , there isn't a 'close all' option. There isn't even an 'X' to close them individually. I sent a note to the dev and the reply was this is an issue for all 3rd party launchers until Google changes something.
I am full Verizon stock and don't want to root. At least not yet...

I did notice this but didn't think it a big enough deal to mention. To remove an individual page however, swipe up. The recents screen is gesture-based.
If you're using a Verizon device, then there's no root for you at all unless you were lucky enough to get a device that mistakenly was unlockable. Verizon locks their bootloaders.
Thanks for the tip on the swipe up. I hadn't tried that and it works.
I am on the VZN network but bought the phone from Google. OEM unlock toggle in developer options seems to work.

It's only if you buy the device from Verizon that you're screwed.
Hi, thanks!
Sadly, no ozop folder is created, after flashing one of the base no search bar and complete installation.
I'm using orange fox, also tried running the complete installation zip in magisk, no result.
Any recommendation I would appreciate, I can't stand the goog e search bar.
Have a good day!
Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 (Unlocked) which is running Android 10. I was looking to remove the Google search bar as well.
All I did was long press on the bar itself, a menu then pops up with 2 options
1) Information about google search
2) Remove search bar from home screen.
So I press option 2 and hey presto it is gone. Have just done a reboot to check that it doesn't come back and it hasn't!
Could it really be that easy?????!!!!

On a Samsung it's possible as they aren't a Google Pixel and don't use the Pixel's stock launcher.

Permanently setting 3rd party default launcher with gestures

Don't know if everyone has this issue, but I've installed Nova and every time I rebooted my first home action went to the pixel launcher instead of Nova. After each reboot I was having to launch Nova, go into settings and set it as the default launcher again to make it work right. Freezing the pixel launcher disables the recent apps.
Doing some digging I found something that solved this for me. It has something to do with the broadcast receivers the pixel launcher is requesting.
I used SD maid to disable all of the pixel launchers broadcast receivers and it works great.
Hope this helps someone save some time as it wasn't straightforward to search for.
Never had this issue and I've been using nova since day one. And gestures work perfectly
Doesn't Nova break QuickSwitch recents though?
I've not had issues using the native gestures together with Nova Launcher. QuickSwitch works too. What I did was set the default launcher as Nova Launcher from the Pixel Settings app, doing it from Nova Launcher settings doesn't seem to make it stick for some reason.

I went to the receiver manager, clicked the three dots in the upper right, checked other and they showed up.
I also found that if I wait a bit after the home screen comes up before using it it doesn't have the weird launcher behavior. So it might have been a matter of waiting long enough for initialization too.

If your using Nova with root, you likely didn't wait long enough. Had the same issue as you here and there. If I waited a minute, was fine :good:

I used to use FNG on Oreo but I moved to Vivid NG on Pie. It works better for me.
I might keep on using it on my Pixel 4 XL but I want to give the stock gestures a chance. Only if I can use them with Nova though.

remove google search + other questions.

Hello, I just got my new to me, unrooted refurb 3a XL and have a few questions regarding changes I'd like to make without having to root my device:
- Can I move the clock to the right side?
- When using pixel launcher, can I remove the google search? I disabled Google app & rebooted; but still can't remove it.
- Any way to enable gestures + Nova launcher? It's greyed out when choosing Nova launcher.
Thank you.
The december update (released yesterday) allows you to use gestures with 3rd party launchers. Update your phone.
Thank DriveEuro, that did the trick.
Any way to get the vertical recent apps instead of horizontal? I understand in Android 10 it's baked in the OS and can't be disabled by removing the pixel launcher? Any way around it?

You are most probably using 3 rd party Launcher.?
As "more options" is only to access Android /Google swipe
navigation or choose Samsung swipe gestures
This is greyed out as Google gesture is not compatible with 3rd party launchers eg Nova Prime... etc
If you go to your stock Samsung launcher and from stock launcher, back to Settings /Display /Navigation.... "more options " is enabled.
Good luck.

If you're rooted you can download a magisk modules called quickswitch which allows certain 3rd party launchers to be used with Google gestures ?

I think you misunderstood OP.
The problem solved was the issue, that he could not access
"more options" in Navigation. It was greyed out.
I advised him to go to Samsung stocked launcher
and within Samsung stock launcher
"more options" will be enabled.
This is what he meant with "Problem solved"
He now knows how to access relevant
"more options" in Settings /Display / Navigation
His thread heading basically says it all.
He has solved his issue.... on how to access "more options"
Good luck.

as per, my previous post explained .
It only works in Samsung stock launcher and if you go to your stock launcher ,
SETTINGS /DISPLAY /NAVIGATION the "more options " should be accessible and you should be able to enable it and access the following/ next menu .
Take note,
You can only use Google 's navigation in Samsung's stock launcher .
Overall , no 3 rd party launcher is supported unless you root etc .
Apparently ,eg Nova Prime launcher dev , stated they are waiting for Google to fix issue .???
That apparently is going to take time ....if Google will fix it .
good luck

Yes, I'm aware of users saying /claiming it works
with Lawnchair.
With root or not, i personally cannot say.
You obviously know more .
To me i have tried Google navigation.
Personally it's.. nothing
special to stress about., if not working.!
With Samsung gestures and Samsung One hand operation + combined
I can basically achieve same gestures plus many more.!
Actually even better results.
Anyway thats my personal opinion.
Good luck.
Dont know why folk are saying this is googles problem?, 3rd party launchers work with the new navigation on Pixel Phones, Also my Asus Zenfone 5Z with android 10 works with 3rd party launchers with the new navigation. I would say this is Samsung has not updated their base to include googles fix.
Can we still use gestures on the Navigation buttons? This used to work with Android 9. I dont want to hide the Navigation buttons but still want to be able to swipe on home button to switch between apps. I miss that dearly.

Why I'm saying it is Google issue, is because i read on the Nova, reddit
sub forum , Nova 's dev, indicating, compatibility can only be fixed by an Google update etc etc.
So for me as I'm using Nova Prime, i accept his explanation..!
So if Google has already patched it
and Samsung sitting on it, fine. !
For me personally i could not care less, who 's responsibility
it is... or if "they" fix it or not.
I only assisted OP. to solve his dilemma /question
I rather use Samsung Gestures combined with One Hand Operation +
But that's my personal preference. .
Good luck.

I would suggest if you really want Navigation buttons and swipe.....
Use combo.....
Firstly
go to Device./Settings /Display /Navigation / and choose the navigation buttons option.
Combine it with Samsung One hand Operations + app,
(Should find it in Play Store ?, as i always updated it from Play Store)
if you haven't got it installed.
Install and set your swipe preferences.
So now you got Samsung navigation buttons enabled and swipe gestures of your choice, all in one..

Thanks, what's the app called? I don't use the One Hand mode. My hands are big so I can easily use the normal mode.
I just want to be able to use swipe gesture on the navigation buttons.

Nova Launcher

As much as I want to use Nova Launcher, it's just not as smooth and quick as the stock Pixel Launcher. Anyone else feel this way? At the same time, I have a love/hate relationship with Pixel Launcher because I love having the icon unread notification numbers on Nova as well as being able to change the home screen grid size. In the end, though, Nova is just not as quick loading apps and the app drawer.
I agree Google isn't making it easy to use another launcher on Pixel phones. It's a shame.
Nova is definitely not as smooth as the Pixel launcher. But Nova has so many advantages for me that I'll take its options over overall smoothness any day.

Same here.
U guys can use one plus launcher, one UI launcher and a custom pixel launcher as well with More customizations. There's a thread on telegram.
Action Launcher does pretty much everything Nova can do and it does everything stock pixel launcher does too. Including copying from recents screen and using Android 10 gestures.
Launchers can add the ability to work correctly on Pixels, Google opened up the ability for 3rd party launchers in December, Action Launcher is only one I know of that can do it without using quickstep or magisk.

I keep seeing these threads where at least one person claims Nova doesn't work correctly. Last year, I would have agreed... but I've been using Nova for months and I have forgotten about any drawbacks if there are any. The only differences I remember are a couple animations and the recents menu doesn't have suggestion icons? (which never suggested apps I wanted to use, so I don't miss it)
What's the smoothness that people are complaining about? The animations run as fast as my finger pushes things around... Is it just the quality and type of animations? If so, I want functionality far over such things. Having to use substratum/magisk to customize the Pixel Launcher was way worse than recreating my layout in Nova. If only things like TeslaUnread were still officially supported... but Google likes killing off useful things.
Feel free to help me understand what I'm missing.

Nova says in the settings that Google has not made it possible for Nova to use Android 10 gestures correctly. Google has made it work, but Nova hasn't been updated to allow it yet.

In my opinion, the warning is wrong. Back when I first got my phone, like half of the gestures didn't quite work. Now everything works for me.
At Nova's homescreen...
Swipe from side: Isn't triggered because you can't go back from home. Just flips pages.
Swipe from bottom: Opens app search. I'm not sure if the gesture is doing this or Nova is.
Swipe from bottom & hold: Opens recents.
Swipe from corner: Shows assistant overlay.
Everything basic works. I don't have palm swipe screenshots enabled.
My issue with Nova is the delay going back to the home screen. I can't immediately open another app. I always have to wait an extra second or click on app twice before it opens. I want the full pixel experience and it seems that Nova doesn't always deliver on it. I do occasionally go back to it until I get annoyed with my first statement.

Honestly, I've never noticed this. I guess I go home before I know what I want to click on and so I'm never quick enough to see it.
The way it's acting, it reminds me of a paused activity that needs to refresh when the app gets restored. I tried to disable battery optimization for Nova, but it didn't help. I'm not sure how to solve that.
I tried the same test on my old phone and pressing the home button actually does nothing for a split second, then Nova shows and responds immediately. But when you gesture, you want it to happen immediately... not a split second later. So in that way, Android 10 and Nova do the sensible thing and shows the paused activity.

I was using Nova Launche a lot of time ago! let's going to check how does it works now!
I have no reason to use any other launcher than pixel launcher. It works just as I need.
not sure what the hoo-blah is. I have been using Nova prime beta with no issues. No problems returning home... No speed issues. The warning that is in there is talking about the gesture navigation system wide not inside the launcher. So this means you have to use the classic 3 button method to navigate (back, home, recent). IMHO this does not affect the experience at all. Definitely prefer Nova and the customization over the stock launcher. :good:
Edit:Actually just changed the nav settings and Nova is working with new gestures.

I just switched back to Nova from Lawnchair on both my S20+ and Pixel 4XL. Nova works beautiful now and Nova Google Companion works with dark mode.
I'm on Android 11 Beta and am running Nova with no problems with gestures at all. For some reason on 10 they were not working as smooth and I would get some lag going back to the home screen. On 11, those problems have seemed to disappear.
While that's true, the closing app animation is not there and feels weird. ( Using gesture navigation )
