As we all know, fullscreen gestures do not work on our devices (at least on mine they don't) if you are using anything other than the standard launchers, which is a complete no-go since they are devoid of a lot of features I regard as essential. Now I know no reason why gestures should not work on Custom ROMs but I have had no chance to try other ROMs yet (haven't unlocked my phone yet) but I figured i'd ask since the rom threads are pretty well populated and I don't want to ask on every single thread out there.
List what you use and if they are working, also maybe which launcher you are using
well on my ROM they do

Which one are you using?
I think every AOSP ROMs do have working gestures. For MIUI ones I think it should be working too, it depends.

Pixel Extended 4.1 (Android 12)
Gestures work in any custom ROM, doesn't matter if it is Android 11 or 12.
You need to install a third party gesture app of your choice form google store, then hide navigation buttons using Magisk Manager. Look for "HideNavBar" module and install that.
That's all, enjoy

Does anyone know if there's a mod that exists that moves the back key to the far left and recent key to far right? It drives me nuts when I'm typing and I hit the recent key all the time.

To my limited knowledge there is no option for this unless you are rooted or using a custom rom.
There's an option for it in ParanoidAndroid. Just select Phone UI in the Paranoid Settings.

Thanks for the tip but I want to stay with stock but have the mod. There always seems to be some bugs with Roms and I don't want to lose any functionality.

If you mod... Then it isn't stock then is it?
I don't know why people are afraid of custom ROMs. They aren't very far off from a stock rom except stuff like this is already included.
How is you modding your "stock" rom different from someone modding it for you? All ROMs come from the same place when you have a Nexus.
And, yes, custom ROMs allow you to pick and choose any function and whatever icon you want for up to 5... each having the ability to press and hold for an additional 5 functions. I typically include a phone and SMS button on top of the standard 3.
I'm on Xenon BTW. Its the only rom that doesn't suck my battery down in a few hours.

I'm not afraid of flashing different Roms. I prefer the stock with my n7. Most Roms have some bugs in it. I know I've tried a ton. I just wish I could have the back and recent keys spaced out.

Paranoid 2.5 is a stable build.
Sent from my Nexus 7
i haven't seen any mod like this yet.
however, i have to agree with the others.
Flash a custom ROM and enjoy.
the stock ROm is built from AOSP
all custom ROMs are built from AOSP.
yes there may be bugs, but they are most likely in the "tweaks" and "add-ons" the developer made, not with the basic functionality of the ROM.
Basically, every time I install ANY AOSP ROM, these problems occur:
1) Proximity sensor during a call. [This has been discussed before on this thread but I've tried everything and I couldn't get it to work. I know for a fact that it isn't hardware and IS software because the proximity sensor works fine when I use the stock ROM. It's a problem with AOSP.]
2) Snapchat front camera [Whenever I use my front camera to take a video, it freezes, and then when the video is done recording it says "video cannot be played." Again, this only happens in AOSP ROMs. Touchwiz works fine.]
I REALLY hate Touchwiz based ROMs and I want AOSP but it's not usable for me if these problems occur.
If anyone can help, that'd be awesome!
Thanks in advance.
Why don't you just avoid all these issues that will probably not get fixed since they have been in existence for quite a while. Have you ever tried a TW ROM with an Aosp theme? You get complete look and feel of Aosp. Check out this theme and see for yourself http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2304251

I'm assuming that you've tried the Google Play edition ROMs? They are AOSP but offer much less customization than, say.. CM, Pac-man, etc. Lack of built-in customization options can easily be remedied though by using xposed GravityBox and other nifty modules.

I have tried Google Play edition ROMs, but the customization wasn't enough for me. I'm not familiar with xposed GravityBox, but I'll check it out and I'll see what I find! What exactly does it do?

Hello, don't know if the following topic has been discussed previously, but wanted to clarify if a solution exists.
It is related to the Face Unlock feature from SmartLock, it is working fine and everything, but it bothers me that after pressing the Power button it doesn't pass the lockscreen after recogninzing you, still you have to Swipe it to enter to the Homescreen.
So for me this feature on stock ROM looks half baked, seeing its implementation on other devices and it works like a charm with the ported pixel custom roms.
My question is, can this be made functional on stock ROM rooted/+ TWRP?
I appreciate your support for a solution or clarification.

Yeah there's a magisk module out there, one sec I'll find it.
It even has whitelists for music so you can still access lock screen if you are using music controls.
Edit: my bad it was Xposed. I have used this on stock Oreo and it worked well.
https://www.google.ca/amp/s/forum.x...d/modules/xposed-instant-unlock-t3688329/amp/
Unfortunately I didn't succeed with Xposed. Is there an alternative to it?
I don't know why Google hasnt implemented this in the stock builds, but I am very happy with my setup besides that one feature. I have looked into a bit, but honestly, I am way to busy to learn something new currently. Anybody willing to help me out for a beer?

No beer necessary bruh. If your rooted, just flash a custom rom...DU, Nitrogen, Aquarios, Validus, Carbon, all have LPBTK. If your stock, then I believe there's an app or 2 that will do that as well. :good:
I don't see the need to flash a custom rom anymore, stock is awesome. I don't have bull**** overlays like sense hindering my processes. I root, flash a custom kernel add adway and I call it good.
I looked and none of them specificed back to kill. I will look again.

I've run both DU and Aquarios. Your correct in that they don't specify the LPBTK. However, if you see, the smart bar with fling by DU mentioned, that gives you the ability to do just that
I'm running AquariOS right now and other than the lack of edge squeeze, there is zero reason Not to run a custom rom. It is very tight and running as good or better because I need less goofing around to make it exactly like I want. And yes the LPTK works very well. I can't imagine ever going back to stock unless I need to clean up for another ROM.

The reason why is that Google says it will mess with Google app and 3rd party app functionality. That's what they've said before

Bump, Just want to see if anyone out there has the nohow to put this together as a flashable? I understand that some custom roms have it, but I love stock, and I understand xposed has it, but xposed seems to break things I use (like Pay) so just hoping someone can point me in the right way or help me out. Thanks!
Hi, I didn't know if this should be in Questions or Discussions, so apologies ahead of time.
I just got a Pixel 2 XL and recently unlocked the bootloader. I'm thinking about experimenting with some custom ROMs and tweaking some things, however I'm really digging the stock Pie experience. Is there really any super good reasons for installing any of the misc. ROMs out there? Or should I just stick to stock? Just looking for some opinions. Thanks!

Personally speaking, I've tried most of the custom roms, and they're all great in their own way, with fantastic Dev & community support in all of them. Having said that, I like the simplicity, and ease of updating every month with the factory images when they come out. Just a few clicks here and there, and I'm running the latest software and security updates, with my magisk modules, root apps, and themes up and running in about 30 minutes. But again, that's just me

No worries. With a little reading and some patience, you can usually always get back to stock. Course, ya never know when the gremlins will strike!
I've been on a major crack-flashing kick. I love the freedom. I've become very fond of a couple features some of the ROMS offer that are baked in. Stock is great, no doubt. Yet, the ROMS provided here are fantastic. Def worth a spin!

Currently I'm running the 12/5 build of Liquid and I really dig it. The version that is newer seems to have some complaints. When the next monthly update comes along I'll prolly try to dirty flash but will be prepared to go back to stock on the January update. Lol I know how to deal with burps on stock most of the times...
Custom roms all the way lol but i wouldn't even mind a custom stock rom with a few minor tweaks and mods like the old Google devices had

Personally, I went on a week kick of using custom ROMs. I love them. They generally perform great and have some useful features, for me, such as:
One-handed mode
Swipe left on nav bar to go back
Status bar customization
Quick and easy themes for dark mode
etc
However, there are just a few trade-offs, which could make it or break it for you.
No squeeze for Assistant. I use this not for assistant but with the Edge Sense Magisk module that lets you customize your squeezes to do literally anything lol.
LED Notification (I have not been able to get this working on any ROM but someone correct me if its just a "me issue".
No ambient display "Now Playing" text. Keep in mind it'll still pop up as a notification and there was one ROM I tried (Nitrogen possibly?) that allowed me to control music on Spotify via the ambient display and i LOVED that!
Those 3 reasons keep me on stock for now. I may switch back into the ROM scene if I could at least get the LED notification working lol. The active edge functionality is also something I use constantly but it's not the end of the world if it's gone.
Anyway, this is what Ive noticed! Hope others can chime in!
Edit: I use light manager on stock. I'm unsure if it works on custom ROMs. I should try it!

Have you tried using Light Manger for your led notifications? Used to work great on 8.1 with custom roms. Although 9.0 may be different.

The beauty of these phones is you can always go to back to stock by just flashing the ota file in twrp.
So far my favourites are DU13 and Pixel dust.
I enjoyed Havoc AOSP. For now for me nothing beats stock with edge control. I use long squeeze for flashlight which is awesome for overnight piss breaks.
I never use squeeze nor care for the "Now Playing" on the lock screen (actually disabled both on stock).
I have been running stock for about a year with custom kernel, then found Havoc-OS and flashed that about 2 weeks ago. Don't have any complaints and absolutely love the customisation. Probably won't be going back to stock for awhile.
I prefer custom ROMs for minor tweaks such as status bar icon settings, lockscreen stuff and Substratum!
I've bought many themes so I'd rather have a device that has commits to make it work to its max potential (i.e. not having to reboot to enable overlays).
Updating process isn't difficult for custom ROMs either. Developers are usually pretty quick with updates once the Google images release every month. Just need to flash the new ROM zip, TWRP, kernel and root and you're golden!
