Is there any to get the new OnePlus gesture animations on the Galaxy S9?
Hey mate, I have been using an app called Fluid NG which is available on play store.
Gives you lots of options on where you want the gestures and what they due.
I small swipe up from bottom left is back
Small swipe up bottom center is home
Small swipe up bottom right is recents
You can then have longer swipe gestures.
If you have root you can hide the normal navigation bar to use just the gestures, just remember to re-enable if you decide to unsitall fluid
Well, yes and no.
For this to work you have to be on a one ui rom (AOSP/Pixel doesn't work for some reason), be rooted with Magisk (and obviously have TWRP so you can get magisk).
First you'll need to get a modded apk of the OnePlus launcher from paphonb.
Once installed DO NOT OPEN OR SET AS DEFAULT. Using the stock launcher, go to magisk manager > downloads then press the search icon and type QuickSwitch. Download it and flash it.
Once your s9 has rebooted STILL DON'T SET ONEPLUS LAUNCHER AS DEFAULT. Use the stock launcher to open an app called QuickSwitch that would've appeared on your home screen. Then press oneplus launcher and reboot.
NOW once it's rebooted you can set oneplus launcher as default and it SHOULD work. Now here's the catch: once it's set up you need to use Samsung's gestures in display > navigation. And the only one that will work like the oneplus gestures and animations will be the recent button (which you can now use as a home button if you swipe all the way up). Its hard to explain, just try it out and if you don't like it just install the module in magisk and it'll return to normal. I hope this will help. And if all else fails here's a helpful article on the method I explained: www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-launcher-recent-apps-interface-android-pie/
Hi, before flashing Android 10 I would like to know how does Nova Launcher perform, specially how are "recent apps" shown (vertical or horizontal).
Thank you!
Pixel 2 XL running Android 10 + Nova Launcher.
My Recent Apps is exactly the same on 10 as it was on Pie with each app having a "vertical" window that you scroll through horizontally.
If you use the 2-button System Navigation layout, there will also be a Clear All button the left of the leftmost Recent App (Clear All doesn't appear if you are using 3-Button System Navigation for some reason).
Hello here are my current issues:
1. Settings the launcher to Nova in the settings will only work with button navigations.
- Using gesture navigation take you to nubia launcher if you use the home gesture on any app/screen
2. Even if you use the button navigations, whilst in Nova,
when going into recent app button, no matter if you clear or press back, you will be returned to nubia launcher
Using the CN model flashed with global ROM.
I want to use Nova launcher with gestures and have heard some in the thread mentioning they have this working.
Can someone lend me a hand please?
Thanks!
Don't know if you're still having this issue or not but how I somehow got it to work is going into the settings, app info, hit the 3 dots in the upper right and select Default App Settings. Tap on Desktop and change it to Nova Launcher. Sometimes though, when I exit a couple of particular apps, it resorts back to the Nubia Launcher. So what I did was keep the icon for Nova Launcher on the main desktop of the Nubia Launcher. This only happens rarely but still a pain when it does.
anyone know is this bug fix on 4.23 update?
Sorry if I've missed a thread and/or discussion on this, but looking to see if anyone can recommend a decent replacement for gesture navigations.
Perhaps one works better with third party launchers such as Nova and offers more features than standard gestures?
Any info appreciated!
Cheers
There are multiple, e.g. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.agooday.fullscreengestures
However, the gestures are handled by the Pixel launcher which you must disable, otherwise risk of gestures that interact which gives strange effects.
When the Pixel Launcher is disabled however, the "recent" apps list can no longer be used (as it is also implemented by the Pixel launcher). And AFAIK, Nova does not have a recents implementation.

Thanks for the reply.
Hmm so perhaps not sounding so great, in the sense of conflicting gestures and the impact of having pixel launcher disabled... Hmmm!
Habe you or anyone a success story of replacing stock gestures smoothly?
I been using Vivid NG for a few years now and also on this phone. I set up system gestures to 3 button and use a navbargone magisk mod in the themes section to remove it. Make sure you have whatever alternative you will use set up prior. I don't disable pixel launcher at all but I guess when switching to 3 button nav I don't need to.
Using Nova launcher as well.
Vivid has a total of 9 trigger zones and a total of 9 triggers per zone with a total of 81 triggers if maxed out.
I'm using Nova and fluid NG or fng on the store. I have the nav bar gone module installed. Fng allows up to 4 triggers on each side of the phone with both a quick pull and a long pull option for each trigger, so really 8 triggers total.
Reccommend switching to 3 button nav if going to this route.

Brilliant ... also just installed FNG, set system navigation to 3 buttons, hide navbar ... that works a lot better with Nova and you can still use the 'recents' from the Pixel Launcher !!!
All those annoying 'screen flashes' are now gone it seems ...
Thanks for the replies guys, sounds like FNG is a winner! I'll give it a try later on
And actually, it seems that with this combination, those annoying missed screen taps are also gone ... but have to test/check a bit more ...
Just to summarize my setup:
- Nova launcher
- Settings > System > Gestures > System navigation > 3 buttons
- Use https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/google-pixel-6-pro.12313/ to hide the 3 button nav nar
- Install FNG and configure your nagivation (bottom/left/right) as you want (see https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid)
This works brilliantly with Nova. I don't have those occasional weird screen flashes any more (which arise from interation between Nova/Pixel launcher and the standard gesture) and you can still have 'recents' from the Pixel launcher (configure it in FNG). And the ghost touches when you go from an app back to HOME and then very quickly tap an icon are also gone!

I'm a little confused by this statement regarding Recents, I hope you can clarify for me. I'm using Nova Launcher Prime exclusively. I haven't disabled the Pixel Launcher, I just don't use it and I have Nova set to be my default one.
I'm using the Pixel's default gestures for Back, Home, and Recents just fine. I'm also using Nova's configurable gestures to swipe up for the app drawer, swipe down for the notification shade, and I use CleanSlate kernel's sweep to sleep.
I use edge gestures. It's way more natural to navigate using the sides of your device. For example air swipe up for recents, swipe down to go home, touch and hold to drop down the notification shade, swipe and pull up to change brightness level etc
Amazing, amazing app.

I had these occasional screen flashes with Nova when switching back from an app to the Nova launcher (not sure why, somehow some weird interaction with gestures). I suspected it had something to do with the Pixel launcher, so disabled Pixel launcher.
Then indeed, the screen flashes were gone.
However, the "recent apps" list (swipe up and hold) does no longer work then as the recent screen (https://developer.android.com/guide/components/activities/recents) is implemeted by the Pixel launcher.
So I was in a dilemma:
a) eliminate screen flashes -> disable Pixel launcher -> no more recent apps screen
b) leave screen flashes -> leave Pixel launcher enabled -> recent apps list
So now, as said in previous post I have:
Nova + Pixel launcher enabled + 3 button navigation (no gestures) + hide nav bar + FNG (fluid navigation gesture)
That solves the problem of the screen flashes for me (and has additional benefit of more configurable gestures).
In addition, the other issue which I had was: if you go back from an app to Nova launcher and very quickly tap an icon on the Nova screen then sometimes that tap would not be picked up (waiting 0.5sec before tapping would solve that problem). Again, I suspect some weird interaction between Nova and Pixel launcher. But with the above combination also that issue seems to be gone for me now. So I'm much happier.

Okay, thanks. I haven't noticed any screen flashes, thankfully.

Yes it is weird ... but I do have 5 screens in Nova and my Nova backup file from which I restore is big/old ... possibly that has something to do with it ... I should probably re-setup Nova from scratch ... and I did some hackery inside the Nova backup to retain chrome shortcuts when I restore the Nova backup. Anyway, my setup is working great now with FNG gestures.
Vivid ng and gesture control and if you're rooted Xposed edge, Xposed edge is the best of all, there is nothing like it in my opinion, all 3 in the play store
I have used lawnchair and nova, but gesture Navigation is not responsive with both of them... It either freezes of changes default to system launcher.. Any fixes?

gesture is only for system launcher. for 3rd party launcher, i use this workaround
1. FNG
2. LADB + command "settings put global force_fsg_nav_bar 1". this to hide nav bar
however, need toapply the command after every reboot.
you can refer here

With the new update, miui global 12.5.8, the system no longer allows gestures AND third party launchers and forces default launcher to the system launcher if gesture navigation is selected. 3rd party launchers work with button navigation, and...

Reset the settings and restart the phone, then set up new gestures and delete the old ones. Now see if it works or else you should wait for a new update.
working for me without doing anything
