Hi to all!
I'm experiencing a really strange thing when try to set an HOME gesture with some of most famous apps for that purpose, like ALL IN ONE GESTURES, EDGE GESTURES and similar.
If I set recent apps and back gesture, they work in every way I set them...but if I try to set ANY KIND of gesture for returning to home... nothing happens.
The command work properly (I feel the haptic vibration, or alinz, that starts when a command is performed), but the gesture won't work in the end...
Anyone noticed that too? Maybe there's something I missed for make them work?
I use swipe up from bottom border and it works for me. I use aio.

I didn't find the cause yet but it is also happening to me. If I reboot the phone the home gesture starts to work fine, it only breaks if I re-enabled the nav bar + disable immersive mode using their quick tiles provided by joneplustools and systemuituner. The easiest solution is to reboot the phone.
Well but are you rooted?
Because I can disable navbar but on home screen it'll be always there, so I can't use bottom gestures, only edge...

Right now I'm rooted, yes.
Without root the navbar always shows if you swipe from the bottom. You could try a 0px navbar by I think it doesn't work in OOS at the moment.

I already have the 0pt navbar and used successfully on S8 but with OnePlus it just don't works, I suppose because the navbar is named "drawable" in OnePlus internals while in APK it's "navbar", at least I've read it on multiple sources...

Yeah that must be the reason.
If you don't want to root right now your solution is to use a gesture app like edge gestures or swipe navigation because you can use gestures from the right/left edge so you activate the navbar less often.
It's not ideal but is has one advantage; for example when I want to close a game using the back button, the gesture sometimes is not recognized and I have to activate the navbar using the quick setting and that sometimes breaks the home gesture like we discussed yesterday so I have to reboot the phone sometimes. You only have to swipe from the bottom and it's all fine.

Yeah...but the fact that navbar is permanent in home screen no matter if you choose to hide it or not is really disappointing...

According to my experience this kind of problem is most likely caused by a third party app, possibly an xposed module or some half baked apk. Privately exchange a list of your installed apps, compare and concentrate on the more dubious apps you have in common and you may find your culprit there.

Well I don't have any X module since I'm not rooted, apps installed I don't know but I doubt it because are the same apps that was in S8 before, so I don't think that an app can interfere with the 0pt navbar functions...

Yeah that's the main gripe. I suppose you are concerned about burn-in.
I don't know if stock OOS Oreo will fix that. Maybe some Dev can mod the navbar file as I was done with the old filetype as in the Galaxy S8.
I also can tell you that on LiquidRemix 8.0 ( it's on a Telegram group as is in testing stage ) you could hide the navbar completely without root but I understand that you don't want to change the rom and right now is has bugs so is better to stay in Oxygen.
Right now I'm using stock OOS 4.7.4 with root and to update is super easy, just download and flash the full zip, flash your kernel + magisk/superSu after and it's done.
I don't know if you care about Android Pay...

I can tell you that on a fresh installed OOS 4.7.4 without third party apps it doesn't work. The problem is that on Oxygen the navbar has another name in system so that mod doesn't work.
No I don't care about it because there's no need for it now, at least for me.
I've always rooted phones, no problems with that, it's just that I don't feel the need to do it with 5T since is nearly stock and good to run stock "as is"...
Sorry for caps but really, it seems nobody noticed it: I see dozen reviews and everybody consider this Pixel Launcher's behaviour totally normal.
I just flashed the latest DP4 release.
I've never used the gestures in the DP3, so I decided to try them.
For about half an hour they worked perfectly.
- swipe on the navigation bar -> multitasking
- swipe just above the icons -> app drawer
So far everything is ok.
After half an hour, I do not know how, the swipe on the navigation bar or above the icons, opens in any case the multitasking, having therefore to make a double swipe to access the drawer.
Of course this kind of operation would not make sense.
This thing happens in every review (I'm looking at them all to see if anyone has not had this problem with the DP3) and no one has wondered why it works like that!
I have deleted Play Store data, Play Service data, Pixel Launcher data, there is no way to get back to the initial situation.
Some idea?
just drag up a little more slowly from the bottom, will go right into app drawer

I don't think this Pixel Launcher is intended to be used in this way.
Sorry for my conceit but I know what I've seen very well, and I noticed it because I've never used gestures in DP3.
Trust me.
The normal behavior is:
- swipe from the navigation bar -> multiasking
- swipe slightly above the icons -> app drawer (without making the multitasking appear, as if it overlapped, as it happens now)
This behavior makes sense and I saw it.
It seems as if the launcher took two gestures in one, or as if the launcher took the gesture of the navigation bar up to the first line of icons.
Short swipe up = multitasking.
Long swipe up (or double swipe) = app drawer.
No.

So I had a not expected behaviour of the launcher?
The problem IS NOT on the double gesture from the navigation bar.
The problem IS in the double gesture above the first line of icon, like the old app drawer opening method.
Made myself clear?
I do not care to be right: I know how it worked and it was perfect.
Honestly, if the intended behavior is actually this, with the double swipe, I do not like it at all.

No. Nothing you describe is unexpected to me. It worked from the pill, or above, all the way up to the arrow above the dock in DP3, just as it does in DP4.
Since you yourself didnt use it in DP3, I dont see how you can be convinced its not right.

Simply because for the first half hour It worked as described in the OP.
This is the current scenario: now I open multitasking by swiping on the navigation bar AND swiping on the little arrow above the first line of icons.
Actually I have the same gesture TWICE, in two DIFFERENT areas of the launcher.
What are they for?
I'm trying to explain that it makes no sense, and that for the first half hour, swiping the small arrow above the first line of icons, I opened the drawer and not multitasking like now, forcing me to do a further swipe to open the drawer.
I explained myself well?

Not really sure what to tell you, other then previously you were doing a longer swipe, regardless of where it started.
It works 100% of the time for me, just has it has since DP3, and in the exact same fashion.
Just as it is pointed out in the article I linked earlier.
If you do a short quick swipe up anywhere from the arrow or below, it opens multi.
If you do a longer continuous swipe up anywhere from the arrow or below, it will go right past multi to the app drawer.
Did the exact same thing in DP3.
I don't know... Probably I'm mad?
Let's be clear: that double swipe in the center of the screen ARE USELESS. The second one I mean.
By the way I want back that behaviour.
I'm searching for someone that encountered the same.

I agree, the double swipe sucks.
But as I have pointed out, you simply just swipe up a little longer a single time and it goes to app drawer, not sure why that isnt sufficient for you.

Also, 2:00 in he points out how to get to the app drawer in one gesture. This was on May 8th. It's been like this.

If you swipe up on the old navigation buttons ( back and multitasking) opens the app launcher directly
Ok guys.
I've probably encountered a giant bug... Ican't reproduce that perfect gesture combination described in the OP.
I've done a full wipe and a full setup, the double swipe for app drawer is stil there.
But swiping past halfway through the screen does get the app drawer correct?

No man, no way.
Swiping slightly above the first row of icons open the multitasking, for the app drawer I should do another swipe up.
Double swipe for drawer, in summary.
And this is THE NORMAL Pixel Launcher behavior.
Probably I've found accidentally a giant bug.

I saw a video yesterday on YouTube that showed the option to revert back to the old button layout instead of using gestures. It was on a beta version of Pie but it’s very possible that they kept it in the final release.
Here’s a link to instructions to enable gestures if your on a phone such as the pixel 2 that received the Pie update. I assume turning the gestures off would work the same way.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-to-use-android-9-pie-gesture-navigation/amp/
I believe there are posts about gestures being the only form of navigation
I'm on Pie with my Pixel XL and can turn the gesture navigation on or off. I believe the Pixel 3 and 3 XL are forced to use gesture navigation and it can't be turned off.

I was the same initially, but I've been using the gesture nav on pie for a few months now and I can't go back. It's way better. Even used to the asymmetrical back button. Really wish I could decrease the height of it though.

I don't mind using the nav bar but I just hope Nova Launcher or a custom ROM allows the switching of the back button to the right side of the home button.
just downloaded Hyperion Launcher on my 2xl.
It's interesting as it has features from several different launchers, including nova.
It's brand new and is a little buggy (very little so far) but I think I'm going to play with it for a day or 2.
I didn't purchase the pro version, which is expensive (sort of) at 3.99, but I might if it continues to interest me tomorrow.
As a previous Nova Launcher user for for a few years now, do you guys recommend I get used to Google's default launcher before using Nova again?

I personally don't like the lack of options with the stock launcher. With my OG Pixel XL I recently turned on the gesture navigation and have been getting used to it while still using Nova Launcher.

If I understand you correctly, this is currently possible without root using custom navigation bar. Latest Pie, assume it should work on 3 XL as well, or at the least should be updated to do so shortly, the dev is excellent with updates.

I kinda prefer the OnePlus gestures because you don't have to give up any space at all for navigation. It's ironic to me that all this effort is being expended on getting a little notched screen real estate when doing away with the nav bar area gives you the same amount of usable screen real estate without a notch covering a large chunk of what you just gained. I mean if you're going to have the horrid notch in the name of more screen real estate why not also grab the wasted space at the bottom of the screen while you're at it?

At a guess I'd say there are some design restraints that affect all Android devices. THAT may be one of them. Specifically, constraints to maintain interoperability between independent developers apps running on Android. Start messing with the navigation menu too much, there's no telling what you are going to break.
Of course, it being Google, maybe they have some idea of what they are going to break and chose not to maketh with the breaking...
Possible, I don't know enough about it to poke at the nuts and bolts of it. With OnePlus you can have it either way at that tap of a button, maybe it was a toggle? My understanding was you could do this with Pie also and just go back to the nav bar if you wanted up until this device. With OnePlus it didn't in any way affect the phone or apps that I have except the launcher. I've got the pay Action and Nova and both of those have gestures you can use which can conflict with the nav gestures. Action in fact put out a beta update that made it so a swipe up from the bottom opened the app drawer and that couldn't be changed which completely broke the OnePlus gestures which also swipe up from the bottom. Cred to those guys, I sent an email about it and it was fixed within a few days so that you could turn that off. Not sure how many sent such an email but it was nice to see the quick response regardless. I guess where I'm going is I can see how it could conflict with something, but it shouldn't be too much from what I've seen; nothing a developer worth his salt wouldn't sort out quickly.
Using stock launcher currently, as swipe right isn't working for me using Nova. Hoping this will be fixed soon.

Swipe right works for me on Nova Prime. Are you doing it along the nav bar?
I have seen a few discussions about the topic of getting the Kill App option for the Nav bar. Holding the back button would be the ideal implementation for me. I find it much quicker than going to recent apps and flicking away the app that I want to kill.
I have not found an answer on how I might do this on the Pixel 3. Seems like Oreo had a Developer Option that was removed in Pie.
A Gesture app seems like one approach, but I would like to hear from others on how you do it?
Thoughts?

Hey, do you mean that you want to kill all recents by long pressing the back button?
If so, I had a quick look and basically a third party app can't really do that because in java the REMOVE_TASKS option is a signature-level permission. This means the app needs to be signed by the same signing key as the device firmware. In short, a rom developer could implement this, but not a third party developer.
In short, maybe a request to your rom dev is the way to go!

If you're rooted you can setup Active Edge to kill the foreground app (I have it setup for a long squeeze to kill the app) or use One Plus Gestures and enable kill foreground app for one of the gestures.

It is a setting that GravityBox allows and comes in handy to quickly exit an active application. I hope we see this feature on the Pixel 3 XL custom ROM that will be coming out.

Awesome. Are you using the Tulsa mods too? When I install the SystemUIedgebase.zip for the Tulsa mods, I lost all my other mods (center clock small ampm, small LTE, no GPS pin and 3Minit).
I would love to get the EdgeSense and the Status bar mods working at the same time. I have a similar question posted on the Tulsa Mod thread.
EDIT: I had to install the Magisk Mod for Edge Sense and now they both work! I dont see the Kill App as an Action in the Edge Sense app. Is it called something else?
EDIT2: I had to enable ROOT for the EdgeSense app, now I see Kill App. YEAH!

Another suggestion - All In One Gestures! It has a long-press back to kill app option, though I should note I'm using it having both rooted and reverted to the old, 3 button nav bar as per Mishaal's guide. Plus, doesn't work quite as perfectly as it did on my old galaxy phones with capacitive keys, but it does the job most of the time...

On pixel 3 xl, you can get the old 3 button navigation with a long press of the back button giving you the kill app command? I want that!

I'm not sure what All-In-One does when you've still got the gesture navigation pill installed, but these are the settings I've got enabled having reverted to the 3 button navigation (https://www.xda-developers.com/disable-android-pie-gestures-google-pixel-3/):
You of course have to give the app root access, but otherwise no special settings as far as I recall from setting it up. Hope this helps!

That is great info. I will follow the guide once I update to the December release.
Thanks!
Is "All in One Gestures" the same as "XDA Navigation Gestures" When I search the play store for all in one than the XDA Apo comes up.
Edit: I see that they are different apps. I found All in One on the apk mirror site. Any idea what it is no longer in the play store?

My pleasure! It is a different app. I'm coming to the Pixel from a 3.5 year old Galaxy S6(!), and I just restored the app from a titanium backup. I think it was designed for phones with capacitive buttons, which might explain why it's no longer officially available. For this reason, it doesn't work quite as perfectly on the Pixel as it did on the S6 (the kill app function doesn't seem to click with a few apps). But it does do the trick in most cases. For me, I'm so used to the long-press gesture that it was worth going back to 3 button navigation for this alone, and worth sticking with it despite some imperfections in All-In-One when it comes to the Pixel. I suppose if you're still on the gesture system, you'll have to weigh up whether its worth removing the pretty new interface (and the Pixel launcher along the way, as Mishaal explains) for a functional yet slightly deficient alternative...
Here is another explanation

I upgraded to the December release and than followed the guide to bring back the old 3 button set up. Long press of the back button kills the current app! I even added the menu key to the left side of the screen My new Pixel 3 XL looks like my old Moto X Pure.
Thanks for the tip.
EDIT: Check out my retro Nav bar.

What did you do to get this? I don't quite understand.
Previously, double tab recent tab will switch to previous app.
For Android 10, I need to press and drag from center to bring up recent apps. However, I can't find faster way to switch to previous app.
Any one know how?
If you do that motion (for recents) and flick it to the right in just one motion switches back to previous app.

I switched back to the original one. Double tap is so much easy. I use One Hand Operation+ which can go back the same way.
And I use Nova Launcher. New gesture is not compatible

I don't have the Android 10 update yet but from what I see in the new Oneui2 you can just swipe to the right at the bottom to go to your previous app. Doesn't get better than that. It's just about the same as iPhone gesture.

I'm using Nova launcher. Can't use the gesture anyway.

oh I see.. Have you tried to see it works with Lawnchair 2?
Also, you can swipe to the left and go real quick to original app you were on. Try it!

I tried this method https://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-...ova-launcher-and-other-third-party-launchers/ but it always seems to go back to the nav bar at the bottom after a while.
I don't know if anyone else is facing the sake issue in regard to the navigation gestures. But when I type faster on the screen keyboard I sometimes end up in the home screen or launching another application as if I hit a hidden home key or recent key.
I use gestures (no navigation bar)

I still haven't received the Android 10 update but I will definitely look for that when I get it. Thanks q
I recently found out that good lock does not work on android 10, and I rely on it very much, I use one handed operation because I hate the nav bar, I can not tolerate having all the space it takes being wasted, so I have it hidden and I use gestures, but I am seeing that gesture nav is a nightmare on android 10, I think I will stick on blocking the update, as I did since day one, precisely because of these things

I'm on Android 10 and have Good lock installed, One Hand Operation+ works fine. Not all apps are available in Good lock yet but should be within a couple of months, like when One UI originally came out.
One hand operations+ works also on Android 10, with that you have granular customizable gestures including switch to last app, recents and a comfy lateral quick switch for all app opened! OHO+ works also without good lock app installed, you can sideload it from apkmirror or here in the xda forums taking advantage of nicelock. Nicelock also integrates an information tab with all the modules working on Android 10
Hex installer is working
On andriod 10. Hex installer fixed the weird nav bar issue when set to swipe. I set the nav bar size to 5. Swipes work without the huge black bar under the keyboard.
One hand operation still works. I use nova but one hand operation is my preference anyway.
Also, I cannot hide the carrier logo or move the clock. I tried systemui turner. It doesnt work for clock or carrier. Some other functions work though.
For now I just set the weather consistent notification to get rid of the AT&T on statusbar.
Hopefully goodlock will fix this when updated.

Good Lock is updating to be more compatible with Android 10. It is not finished yet. When all capability issues are resolved and updated, that's when we will get our update.
