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.

What version of miui

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.

Nova Launcher - Slow redrawing

For those using Nova. Have you also noticed slow redrawing of the home screen when from any app you go back to home screen using gesture?? It doesn't happen on Oneolus launcher

Yes. Same here. Annoying as hell. Ot happens on all launchers except the OnePlus launcher.
Any solutions?
Sent from my GM1910 using Tapatalk

I have noticed this, also, sometimes I end back on the OnePlus launcher and have to press the home button to get back into Nova Prime.

Gesture support was only recently made available to 3rd party launchers on Android 10. Hopefully it will get better with future updates when Android develops better support for 3rd party launchers.

The delay in loading Nova only happens when using the gesture navigation and using the gesture for home screen. Using the back gesture has no delay in loading the Launcher. Similarly using three button navigation has no delay.
I have reported it as a bug to OnePlus using the OnePlus community app and you should do the same.

Yeah, I had the same experience with Nova (or any other 3rd party launcher), so I made some workaround:
I downloaded Fluid Navigation Gestures app from the Playstore, it works without any problem and flaws...I am using three button nav panel in system settings, but Fluid Navigation Gestures app can hide that nav panel with simple ADB command and the result is you can control your phone with gestures with 3rd party launcher, but without any slow redrawings or any other bugs.

are there any solutions? i was hoping with the new update it would work...

At the moment the only one solution is Fluid Navigation Gestures.

One UI 2.0 new navigation bar gesture

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.

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.

Question Nova launcher Problems and floating windows and other bugs

Hi I have a new poco F3 8/256gb and it comes with Miui 12.0.2 but I have problems with nova launcher, the buttons recent app doesn´t work and only shows a blanck screen without any of the app. I tried with Apex launcher with the same resul. Then the icon for floating windows only apears on the control center icon and not on recent app, so the usability is very poor. Another problem I have is the bar of gesture on the botton of the screen sometime disapears and sometimes not. I search on the net and a tried, developer option miui optimitation with no positive results, hope Xiaomi release a new update soon.

It's a problem with poco launcher that broke recent apps if you install another launcher.
See here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...12-2-2-4-eu-version-android-11.4215795/page-2
I have installed the new version and it's ok now for me with Microsoft launcher

It's not miui, it's android 11. when i was using mi9t with PE, no third party launchers work really well. lawnchair and shady launcher do release their alpha versions and it's usable, not perfect, but, yeah, usable.

Lawnchair Alpha doesn't work, it's the same problem. The moment you enable Lawnchair gestures are disabled.

I had the same issue on my F3 with Nova Launcher
Thanks to @stevejc, I just installed Poco Launcher v2.20.1.26 and got back the recent apps in Nova !

But I have also lost floating windows !

thanks to @stevejc for his answer I update the poco launcher and my nova works perfect but I still have no floating window options in a recent panel. anyone can help me with this?

The only working tip is to use the quick settings button for each app.
I don't have also the icon in recent panel too.

Full gestures don't seem to work for me if I use custom launcher only traditional Dock navigation bar works. Even if you still insist using full gestures restart brings back old navigation. However I tried this app it seems to make full gestures work? Restart old navigation does still return but we can continue use full gestures. Can anyone confirm? If it works more than just me I might buy it.

Pls ignore the app I recommended. When it works it works but it can suddenly stop working. I am going back to poco launcher until there is a fix or someone recommend a working gesture app.

sorry I can´t confirm because a I use the poco launcher now

I got a reply frm an xda developer. He develop gesture app for earlier androids. He said he can't help us. So I am guessing other gestures might not fully work either?

Guys more of you need to submit feedback / bugs complain I get the feeling xiaomi will not fix the full gesture with custom launcher issue. This their respond despite telling them oneplus has no issue with nova on android 11. I got a oneplus 7t pro.

Hi I'm using microsoft launcher and the app my gesture and it'working.
You can turn off or not the nav bar with setup gesture on miui setup page.

You have any issue of it suddenly stop working? I did. Its same with all others I tried they can suddenly stop working if I don't have 3 dot at bottom it be an issue. Mygesture suddenly stop working according to app accessibility stop responding I need to restart. Turning accessibility on off for it didn't work only restart did.

You need to avoid stop the app in recent apps screen (first icon).
Also I give the app the Start automatically authorization and no battery optimisation.
I have the same problem if I kill the app but with the previous settings it's OK.
I can hide the nav bar, only after reboot they come again.
To hide them add gesture in Miui settings

How To Guide How to change the system/default launcher

A while back, Xiaomi introduced a policy where a user would only be able to use a handful of vetted launchers (via the MI App Store).
That's applicable to the China ROM - Global ROMs are not affected, however, some devices are only released in the Asian market & only see the light of day in the US or EU as gray imports.
Using the Mi Launcher wouldn't have been an issue if it were at least half decent, which it is not.
There is a simple workaround I tested on the Mix Fold 2 (MIUI v13):
1: you need to have developer mode unlocked & adb working
2: install your launcher of choice
3: in an adb shell, uninstall 2 apps:
pm uninstall --user 0 com.miui.securityadd
pm uninstall --user 0 com.miui.securitycenter
4: switch to your launcher via Settings -> Apps -> Manage Apps -> Default Apps.
5: reinstall the Security Center, else you'll face a soft brick on your next reboot:
pm install-existing --user 0 com.miui.securitycenter
6: wave & smile to Xiaomi; there's no rational explanation for strongarming users to their launcher. They should have at least unlocked the possibility to switch in developer settings.
7: Reboot.

Thank you for your guide. Do the screen gestures now work with a 3rd party launcher?

No, full screen gestures don't - you're limited to on screen navigation buttons.
I haven't changed this yet, but there are some 3rd party apps you can use instead & hide the navigation bar as well. One of these was Fluid NG, but it hasn't been updated for a while.

Tried Fluid but didn't work lol. Thank you!

I’ve been using the Microsoft launcher instead, but appreciate the step-by-step for future. Really love the mix fold 2 over my fold 4, with the exception of the folds superior launcher (the little taskbar is so intuitive for multitasking). Hoping Android 12l or 13 will help….

very cool. many thanks for that tweak !!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, I was happy to early. After some actions the MIUI launcher is back as default launcher
So It isn't working on my fold with MIUI13
Will it be possible to remove the MIUI launcher ?? And MIUI keyboard ?

OK, I found the issue. I have had shelter installed and as soon as I have opened a app in shelter, my default launcher was gone. After factory reset all working
fine without shelter installed

No need to use adb to change launcher
Just
Download nove launcher from Google play
And with nova launcher icon tab hard to show icon settings
Then tab make it default launcher
And then choose the launcher you want
