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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 am on the OnePlus 8 Pro with OOS 11. Two apps you need.
SetEdit and FNG (or any other gestures app you want)
Steps:
Go to settings and turn on "Navigation Gestures"
Open SetEdit and find "op_gesture_button_side_enabled" and set that to "0" instead of "1"
Open up FNG and set it up with all the permissions that are needed
Disable "bottom edge" in FNG and only use "left edge" and "right edge" since there is conflict when "bottom edge" is used
Set them up the way you want, and now you can use hamburger menus again!
This should work for any OnePlus, and any version since this tutorial is from the OnePlus 5 and 5t
You can disable the activation of Google assistant by going into Settings > apps and notifications > see all apps > Google > disable
Can't believe no one gave you a thumbs up for this.
Nice one.
Very nice guide.
Now I can use LMT Launcher with Stock OOS Android11.
Great guide! Kudos

The old OnePlus gestures were a simple two button operation, from the middle of the bottom, it was either home or multi task. And the side of the bottom was back. Now the new ones change position when you flip your screen, so when watching a YouTube video, you have to swipe up twice from the bottom. The old ones you just had to swipe towards the camera from the charging port. The new gestures also have a really ****ty back button, the entire edges of the screen are back buttons now, which means no hamburger menus will work anymore. I am very frustrated by this change, so i hacked up a little solution.

I never used custom roms before, I have no idea if this works or not.
I know I am probably late to the party, but in developer option, there is an enabled freeform feature.
Then in the recent app drawer, tap the icon and select freeform...
This is a tip in case you didn't know. This is multitasking at a new level.
That's been around for a VERY LONG TIME.
But not very good on a phone because of the screen size and method of interaction. Its better on big screen devices with a mouse.

Try to picture the idea behind it. The objective here was to use Android as a replacement for a traditional desktop/laptop and thus follows that kind of pattern, and they were on the verge of replacing chromeos with it. Its very unfortunate that they didn't go through with it.

Well this is new to me.
I'm going through eye surgery and one of the things that I use quite a bit is the accessibility magnification.
In the latest versions of Android OS, there's some kind of floating thing that sticks to the sides of the screen and is almost constantly in the way of something I need to tab or whatever.
Loved it so much better when I had access to the button down at the bottom. I could just click it when I needed it.
So is there any way to put that back? I honestly did try to search but I don't think I'm using the correct search terms so I never found anything useful.

that shortcut is moveable but you are right, it can get in the way and is annoying.

Yeah, I just checked the settings and it is definitely on and there is no indication or slider or anything that says to add it to the navigation bar.
First of all, I don't run the factory system image, I run GrapheneOS, which is a security minded distribution of google-free AOSP.
Looks like the option you're looking for is at the bottom of the accessibility menu, "Accessibility shortcuts". Go in there and select "Accessibility button", then "Location", and select "Navigation bar". That would do it for you, at least on Graphene. Hope it helps.
Oh you rock!!
What an odd place to put that choice. It's buired where I wouldn't think to look for it.
