I have reverted back to stock rom but a useful feature that I miss was that I double tapped the desktop and it would open up google search.
Any ideas how to enable this on stock rom?
I don't know about double tap but if you swipe up on the miui launcher it should open Google search

Get a launcher with gestures. Then you can set that up yourself. I use Nova launcher which does this...

I'd like to set the long press of my Search navigation button to "Voice Search" by Google but I'm not seeing it in my app drawer. Only way to pull it up is to search, then hit the mic button.
I tried TiBackup to uninstall it but it never gets removed, possibly because it's a system app?
I then reflashed the gapps zip through CWM but nothing changed.
It doesn't show up in the app drawer. Ever.
i'm trying to set up my long press search button (in navigation bar) to bring up Voice Search. i swore i was able to do it before, but i'm not sure what changed, i've messed around with a bunch of ROMs, kernels and launchers since that time haha.
AOKP, Slim, and liquid can do this.
oh yeah, i'm on AOKP but the problem is that Voice Search doesn't come up as an avaialble app/shortcut
Is it installed?
"Long is the way, and hard, that out of hell leads up to light."
yup, when in Google Play, it says "Installed" next to it. I can also use it when I click on the mic during searches. But no way for me to find it to select it as ana pp.
Easy. Just install nova launcher. If you have nova launcher installed (just installed, you don't even have to actually use it) it puts voice search in your shortcuts list. Select "nova launcher" from the list of shortcuts and then a menu will pop up where you select voice search.
Mine used to be that way, but now it shows in the app drawer. Which i think is annoying. Im stock takju never rooted or unlocked. Kinda bummed it shows up now

I installed Nova Launcher, but I have no clue what you're referring to do. Could you please explain how to assign Google Voice Search to open when long pressing the Search button? Please? =)
Hi
I usually had gestures where it would replace Google Now when i swipe up from the home button to sleep my phone. I was using SenseToolBox. But after updating to 4.4.3 that stopped working.
Is there another app where I can modify the home button swipe options to replace Google Now? I just want to have the to make it go to sleep when i swipe up from the home button, instead of going to Google Now.
Thanks !

With this app you can change the swipe up action: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.AdrianCampos.swipeuputility
And you could set it to launch a screen-lock app such as: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock
Is there a rom that does this without having 2 apps doing it?

I just saw that the Swipe Up app has a built-in function to turn off the screen, so you actually only need that one app
Yep I saw that. But I don't think it's worth paying money for that one function though. I remembered in most custom roms I've used with my Nexus4, that ability was built in for free. Oh well, thanks for the help anyways!
Hey Guys.
Updated my Mimix 2 to MIUI 9.6.1.0 Global Stable
Everytime I swipe up on my homescreen, this ****ty Google App opens. It's annoying when using Fullscreen mode, which use gesture commands.
How can I disable Google from opening from swipe up Gesture on homescreen?
You can't disable it. This has been there for a year now, get over it if it annoys you.

Change your launcher. Simple. I use FastKey and it doesn't do that.
Hello here are my current issues:
1. Settings the launcher to Nova in the settings will only work with button navigations.
- Using gesture navigation take you to nubia launcher if you use the home gesture on any app/screen
2. Even if you use the button navigations, whilst in Nova,
when going into recent app button, no matter if you clear or press back, you will be returned to nubia launcher
Using the CN model flashed with global ROM.
I want to use Nova launcher with gestures and have heard some in the thread mentioning they have this working.
Can someone lend me a hand please?
Thanks!
Don't know if you're still having this issue or not but how I somehow got it to work is going into the settings, app info, hit the 3 dots in the upper right and select Default App Settings. Tap on Desktop and change it to Nova Launcher. Sometimes though, when I exit a couple of particular apps, it resorts back to the Nubia Launcher. So what I did was keep the icon for Nova Launcher on the main desktop of the Nubia Launcher. This only happens rarely but still a pain when it does.
anyone know is this bug fix on 4.23 update?
I've tried adding Nova Launcher to a Vivo x51, running Android 11. The Gesture Navigation doesn't work, and is no longer even an option in the phone's menu. When I change back to the Stock Launcher the option is there again.
When I look it up I see posts about Android 10 not allowing gestures, but I'm on Android 11.
Should it work? Is it sometimes brand-dependent? Should I re-install Nova? Or any other tips? When you get used to gestures it's very strange to have to go back to soft-buttons.
