Android 11 - Recent Apps - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

I upgraded to 11 yesterday but my recent app screen is still like it was in 10.
I don't get the screenshot option in the bottom left corner only way to take a screen shot is holding the power button and the volume down button.
Also the recent app screen no longer launches from my home screen only if I am inside another app.
What do you guys think is going on? (Stock Pixel 3XL running Nova Launcher)
Thanks,
Rodney

Don't use Nova. Those functions are specific to the Pixel launcher. I have them both on my 3XL.

I thought it was Nova also! I switched back to the Pixel Launcher and still the same. I think something isn't complete with the install some how.

If you didn't try it, enable Pixel Launcher, and reboot.

You need to be on either 3 button navigation mode or full gesture mode, it does not show on 2 button mode.

That was it! Thanks!!! I was on 2-button!

I had the same issue on gesture, I disabled/enabled it in home settings and it works.

Did they just break 2-button navigation but leave it in? I've been on it since getting my P3xl 2 years ago, and now I can't get a recent apps screen at all. I swipe up on the home screen and nothing happens. Is there another way to get to that that I'm unaware of?

Oh interesting if I'm on the home screen, not in an app, swiping up get me my recent apps screen.

That is interesting, I am on two button and when I swipe up when in an app I get recents.

How do you change to 2 or 3 button navigation mode? I'm on full gesture mode but don't see a option to switch.

In Settings search for "system navigation".

So after I wrote that comment, my phone froze, and after rebooting it would freeze after like 5 seconds every time. I had to reflash with wiping and since then I can swipe just like before.

Is the chat bubbles only on full gesture mode too?
They never show up for me (on 2 button navigation).

Device Certification
Anyone else seeing this: Google Play Store App (22.0.17-21 [0] [PR] 332555730) is missing Device certification?

[Q] Bind screenshot command to softkey input

Hello all,
I am rooted with SuperSU 2.67, running EX kernel and stock ROM. Is there any known mod or a way to edit my build.prop so that softkey input (say, long press on the overview key) triggers a screenshot? I have searched but so far found nothing. This would be a very useful feature and I am sure others would use it too, as taking screenshots on the N5X is a bit awkward.
What is awkward about taking screenshots like every other phone out there? Have you tried taking a screen shot with an LG G2 or 3 or 4? That is awkward.
That said, my guess is there is an xposed module that allows you to reassign the software keys to do this. You or someone else could modify the stock systemui.apk to allow a long press of one of the buttons to take a screenshot.

Whoops. Tagged the wrong person before. @Tulsadiver you like to do things like this. Have you ever coded a long press action to a navigation bar button before?

I haven't but there is a first for everything, lol. There is a google app that starts on a long press of the home key. That could maybe be changed to a screenshot capture...
@OGNatan. It's not the button control you want, but Gravity Box (xposed module) has a quick tile that will do screenshot as well as a screenshot command using the power button.

Indeed. The app is called Home Button Launcher. In my opinion its not a great solution. The keycode for screenshot is 120 btw.

Mine does it right now. I have google now launcher installed but i use Nova (i don't have any buttons configured in it.). I am running xTrafactory. Does yours not open google? I had never tried it until today.
FWIW, there are dozens of screen shot apps on the Playstore that use various strategies to capture.
For Example, Screenshot Capture by AppDoodle runs as a service and overlays a small button on the screen and captures at the touch of that button. The app can also be set up to shake the phone for screenshots.

Yes, Google opens when I long press the home button. But Home button launcher allows you to open any app(s) by long pressing the home button. For example you can have long press home to open straight to Google Voice search rather than the Google App.

Wow. Just got home from work and all these replies
I have tried several Play Store apps, but none of them give the functionality I want and/or run some kind of service that could be a battery drain.
@PiousInquisitor there probably is an xposed module for this floating around somewhere, but I am not currently running xposed. I guess for now the best course of action is to see about modifying systemui.apk :dread:
ever since the Google app added the Share button to Now on Tap, I've been taking screenshots that way.
Works perfectly and much quicker.

I wish I shared your fondness for Now on Tap. I have installed GravityBox, which contains a setting that does exactly what I was want. It is definitely the way to go :good:

Pixel Launcher DP2 Not Showing New Home Button

I normally use Nova Launcher as my default launcher but wanted to try Pixel launcher. As you can see in screenshot, I am not getting the Pixel home button, but the one from Nova Launcher.
Settings > system > Gestures > "swipe up on home button"
The new nav bar is not tied to the launcher. I use the new pill navigation on Nova launcher
Thats also the one from the Pixel and not from the nova launcher, as the nova launcher hasn't softkeys intgrated. I assume you mean the gesture-controll button, you have to activate it in Settings/system/gestures/"swipe from homebutton" (or so)

has anyone using Nova noticed that the back button shows even on the home screen? I believe it should show only when there is a need for it right? I switched to the stock launcher and it doesn't show there.

Pixel Launcher DP4 HAS A PROBLEM WITH GESTURES

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.

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.

Kill App option for 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.

I just want holding the BACK button to kill the current app on the Screen.
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

What did you do to get this? I don't quite understand.

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.

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.
