Hi Friends,
is there a App or a mod for swipe gestures for the Samsung Galaxy Watch?
I heart there was one which enables going back by swiping left or right instead of hit the right side button of the watch.
Thanx for answers.
Regards
Push
As I used the Polar M600 for 3 years, I am missing those gestures a lot.
It made the use of the watch a lot easier.

Hello everybody
I am new to this forum and also new to Galaxyy Note 2. I bought this Note 2 for serious use of the S-Pen apps
and to take up note-taking seriously with handwriting mode.
The problem I am having is that When I rest my palm to write, the palm touches the "back" button accidentally -
and this happens several times - and I have to again get back to my notes by opening it again. I can't position my
palm in such a way that it does not touch the "back" button. If I moved my palm then it touches the "menu" button
and that pops up.
I write the notes with the device in the upright - i.e. vertical screen mode. If I made it horizontal it is fine but
since I see only a few lines I don't wish to keep it horizontal. That rules out one possibility.
The note 2 screen does not roll upside down as is the case with iPad3 ( in which the screen rolls upside down also).
If it rolled upside down, my problem would not be there as the palm would not touch anything.
How do I resolve my problem. Once again I re-iterate that I bought this Note 2 for serious usage in note-taking.
Please help. Thanks in advance

First of all, welcome to the xda-forums.
Secondly, you should take a look at this video if you haven't ( i firmly believe you didn't ) , it's great and worth watching :good:

Thirdly, for your problem there are a ton of solutions, the easiest being the first result of this google search :

Fourthly, search is your friend. Embrace it's love. Use it.
Simplistic framework has a quick settings button to enable/disable the capacitive keys
Look into the Android original development section for simplistic framework

A large tablet comes with the price of greater hand/arm travel distance when working with the screen. I am by no means complaining any sore elbows here. But it does take some getting used to, especially for those coming from smaller (7" - 8") tablets. Over and over again when my hand moves up and down between the screen and the (home and capacitive) buttons, I can't help but wish I had multi-touch gestures like on an iPad.
If my GNP were rooted, GMD Gestures would have solved my problem. But I am not ready to trip that stupid Knox counter yet. So here we are.
I came across this app called All in one Gesture. It doesn't have multi-touch, but at least some simple 'swiping from edges' functions.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures
Let me share with you my experience on working with this app. First, after installation, you need to enable the app under Accessibility in Settings before you can activate/use the gestures. But soon, Android will warn you of disabling a whole bunch of functions as a result, including Multi window. See attachment.
The good news is, some of those functions can be re-enabled to work with All-in-one-Gesture without issues. I tested Multi window, Air view and Direct pen input and they all seemed to be working fine after re-enabling. (I don't use the others, but I suspect some other ones would work too). But you should exercise cautious when doing so. For example, Multi window requires swiping from right edge to activate; and so I should not use the swiping from right edge gesture. Currently, I only use swiping from left for the 'back' function, and swiping from bottom for the 'home' function.
The Back and Home functions are universal in all apps; e.g., they will work in Chrome browser, where I can swipe from left edge to go back to previous page, and swipe from bottom to exit app.
I also changed some settings in All in one Gestures. For example, I made the 'Edge Width' longer under 'Edge Preference', and also made the touch area transparent under 'Transparency and Color'. There are also settings for tweaking the swipe area and sensitivity. I haven't played with them to much, but they may become useful for certain games to avoid accidentally triggering the actions.

Thanks! Sounds interesting! Will try this asap!
i found it today and it's very close to the perfect app i was looking for!
has anyone noticed a degrade in battery life? which are your views?
So I've been trying out the wrist gesture feature which seems cool, but is it just me or does only some of the Gestures work? If I shake the watch it, the display comes on, I can scroll through cards but that's it, no other Gestures work?
Is this the same for everyone? Wondering if my watch is faulty.
gesture are just for :
- activate screen , normal movement use
- scrool card up and down
nothing else
You've been looking at the google help pages for android wear? The other gestures will come with 1.4.

Hello!
I received my Google 6 Pro yesterday and everything seems to work - lucky. Even the fingerprint sensor works quite well, significantly better than on my Xaomi Mi Note 10 Pro before - despite the protective film.
But what really bothers me: How should I reach the back key with my right thumb? Gesture control is nothing for me. So I would have to remap the soft keys: Last apps left, Home in the middle and back on the right. However, this doesn't seem to work that easily since Android 10.
Is there a solution?
Thanks very much
I used the Fabricated Overlays app to hide the NavBar then used Fluid Navigation Gestures to get swipe up from the bottom right to go back, middle to go home, and left for recents. It's very similar to the Samsung gestures and gives you the extra screen real estate.

I recommend "edge gestures"
I swipe down on the sides to return to home screen and swipe up for recents. However, you can customize the gestures to your liking. For example I have touch and hold on the edge to drop down the notification window. I have a large hand and using the stock gestures is frustrating.
Hi, is there a way to add the 3 buttons at the bottom of the screen for the back, home and recent apps that I used to have on me s21+ I'm now using pixel 7 pro and no back button is killing me haha, I will attach a photo of the buttons I mean, thanks Ian
On Android 13 there is a setting to bring back 3 button navigation.

Would love this if you know where I can find it, thanka
Found it, thank you very much
Short guide:
Tap the Settings icon to launch the Settings app. Scroll down and tap on Accessibility.
Scroll down to the Interaction Controls section and tap System controls.
Tap System navigation.
Tap 3-button navigation or Gesture navigation.
Tap the Settings button next to Gesture navigation to change the sensitivity of the screen to the Back swipe gesture. Use the Left edge and Right edge sliders to tune it
Might there also be a setting (maybe within Nova?) to switch the return and app buttons? On my galaxy they were the other way around and it's quite annoying on my pixel 7 pro :')
