I came from a Zuk Z2 pro. The thing I miss the most and almost feel like I can't live without is swiping left and right on the fingerprint scanner to navigate through your recent apps.
As a matter of fact, all navigation on the phone was done through the fingerprint scanner, tap once to go back, tap and hold for recent apps, swipe right to switch to recent apps, swipe left for home. It was really intuitive and after 1 year with that phone, to me it feels like this navigation bar on the OnePlus 5T is subpar.
How would you guys feel about adding this type of functionality to the OPO 5T? Since the fingerprint scanner already supports swipe gestures, I think it would be easy to add this to any custom rom. Actually, I already have the code related to this functionality https://github.com/edTheGuy00/utouch (I did some development for Zuk Z2 pro)
Simply adding swipe left and right functions would be pretty cool huh? Share your thoughts.
Never tried it before, but that does sound kinda interesting

In Android O there's an API for this, it's called FingerprintGestureController.

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/
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
Does anyone know how add more supported apps to PiP function. Is there any options to have sidebar like Huawei P30 Pro and newest have it on right side where slide and have apps which you want and when press they opened in small window so you can use both app at same time.
Great questions, as a longtime P30 Pro user I have te same questions.
Especially that sidebar is something I miss.
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?
