Coming from a OP7Pro, I have to say that these new Google gestures suck. Can no longer swipe from the sides to call up a side menu in various apps because swiping in from the sides now takes me back. I miss the old gestures where everything was done from the bottom:
Swipe up, bottom left/right: back
Swipe up, center: home
Swipe up and hold, center: recent apps
Trying to find a way to get those back but can't. Thought I hit the jackpot with the process in the link below, but I have an issue afterwards where swiping up from left/right of bottom combines both back and home commands and always takes me home.
Anybody have any ideas?
Revert back to old swipe gestures on OnePlus in Android 10 (OxygenOS 10) update
Here is how to get th old swipe gestures from Android 9 Pie on OnePlus phones running Android 10 (OxygenOS 10). Revert back to old Oxygen OS swipe gesture navigation on OnePlus 5/6/7/8.
www.androidsage.com
I think this method just disables the "swipe from left/right = back" function.
It does not enable "swipe up from bottom left or bottom right = back" like in the good old days.
I'm coming from a one+ 6... So also an adjustment for me...
I think OnePlus is trying to default all the things, left and right swipe is Google's implementation.
Me too i'm coming from a OP6 and want those gestures back, i already made a suggestion on OP site but i don't think it will happen since there were people on op8 who also wanted them but didn't get it.
Also with gestures app, i couldn't hide the navigation button bar with adb command so it wont work too
I personally like swipe from side for back. What they could do is make it work only in bottom 2/3 of the screen while the top 1/3 would be for bringing up hamburger menus. That's how it was with my old honor (which I hated) but this one feature really made sense.

Actually I think that method do bring back corner swipe = back gesture, the problem is that swipe up from bottom = home takes the whole bottom, it will get triggered with the back gesture.
You can confirm that by swipe from corner slowly, if you careful enough, you can only trigger back without trigger home action, or at least see two gestures are being triggered at once. Another proof is that after getting back home by swipe up from corner, if you open the app from recent apps switch, you can see that the app indeed got a back action(return to last page)
So I think if we can find a way to narrow the range for bottom swipe = home action, we can get this to work almost perfectly.

I have no idea what you mean dude
With Fluid Gestures, I have 3 areas at the bottom.
Left is back.
Middle is Home and Recent apps with Swipe&Hold
Right area is Back
And then I also have the Right Side set up to switch between apps.
See screenshots.

Nice, thanks for the tip. I'll try this. I have previously tried gesture apps but since Google removed that overscan item starting with 10/11 that rendered 3rd party gesture apps useless, they didn't work and I gave up. But I did not try with substratum or run in to that thread you linked.

Got it working. It wasn't working initially, then I realized I had to change from Gestures to Nav Bar Navigation within the phone settings. Thanks so much! It's getting closer to feeling like my 7 Pro!

What I mean is by using "settings put system op_gesture_button_side_enabled" method you do get the swipe up from bottom left or bottom right = back gesture. The only problem is you will always trigger swipe up from bottom = home/recent gesture alone with it, so it seems swipe up from bottom corner is not working.
I think if we can find some way to change the swipe up from bottom = home/recent gesture area, just trigger it by swipe up from bottom center we might get the original OP7 gesture to work.
Tell me the system version number, maybe I can make changes

Sorry, misread.
I thought you were talking about the NoNavbar route.
That's true.
The "settings put..." method does not work.
I do not think you can alter the bottom area to consist of 3 different touch area's. Left, center, right. And change the width of them.
But the link I provided does work.
Substratum lite, NoNavbar, Fluid Gestures.
I am using it right now...

We don't have to split the bottom area to three parts, just limit the home/recent gesture to center so it wont be triggered by swipe up from bottom corner should do the trick.

I love you.
I like "Lift phone to ear to answer a call" gesture.
I posted on Oneplus. They answer to talk to Google...
O posted on Google.., no answer.
I upgraded from OxygenOS (android 10) to KOSP 2.3 (running android 12) on my OnePlus 7 Pro. Everything about KOSP is better than OEM OOS except the stock A12 gestures. I wanted to run "Vivid Navigation Gestures" but the damn navbar was baked into the ROM.
This was the first solution I found that worked to hide the navbar! Thanks for posting!

As the title said... I use a lot lmt launcher and i orefer to use it as border Action (left and right).
In op7 i had lower gesture that are very very usefull. In op9pro there aren't this type of gesture and the only way to use the gesture is with the "workaround" on xxx_nolimts that disable the lateral "back". But... Xxx_nolimts still not be supported and i think that when op start with android 12 rollout will not work anymore.
Any ideas to obtain the old lower gestures?
Hi,
Unfortunately you can't.
Have you tried Substratum Lite, No_Nav.apk and Fluid Gestures Navigation ?
That's what I use to have swipes for back at the bottom. Left and right side: swipe for back.
Middle bottom: swipe for home.
And swipe for next or previous app at the right of the screen, with 2 zones.
custom roms allow nav off to allow for overlay gestures
Thanks... Is what i need! I will try
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 :')
Just installed LOS 19.1 on one of our POCO X3 NFC and since Gesture Navigation was the default in the install wizard, I went for it the very first time.
So far I like it, but what puzzles me:
Previously I always only used the 3-button navigation, and double tapping on the square button allowed quickly switching between the current and the previously used app.
This is not possible with gesture navigation?
not sure if this is what you mean as its been while since I used the buttons, but..swipe on the bottom from left to right?
there some nuances to it though. swiping left and right in quick succession will switch between two windows(or more if you swipe twice both ways) but once you actively use one window, the position of previous one will always on the left

Interesting, though to be expected, because the active app will then always the the last, so it makes sense to only swipe from left to right from there.
recently got a oneplus 11 and im kinda liking it def enjoy it more then the S23+ but wheres the old Gesture system with swiping from the bottom? is it only for Color OS or something? if not is there any way tip i can get to getting used to google gestures? its kinda annoying remembering where i can swipe so i can pull a menu or something on a app without accidentally backing out of a app
What gesture are you talking about? Everything is swipe from bottom to top right???
OxygenOS used to have unique navigation gestures that could trigger back and home by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. Samsung also has these. Once Google rolled out their own gestures, OnePlus migrated to them. On OxygenOS 11 and below, one could use SetEdit to restore this feature but I've seen no way to do it on OxygenOS 13. Does anyone know if they're available through a hidden setting?
