[Q] Gesture apps - Why home gesture dont work?

Hi to all!
I'm experiencing a really strange thing when try to set an HOME gesture with some of most famous apps for that purpose, like ALL IN ONE GESTURES, EDGE GESTURES and similar.
If I set recent apps and back gesture, they work in every way I set them...but if I try to set ANY KIND of gesture for returning to home... nothing happens.
The command work properly (I feel the haptic vibration, or alinz, that starts when a command is performed), but the gesture won't work in the end...
Anyone noticed that too? Maybe there's something I missed for make them work?

I use swipe up from bottom border and it works for me. I use aio.

I didn't find the cause yet but it is also happening to me. If I reboot the phone the home gesture starts to work fine, it only breaks if I re-enabled the nav bar + disable immersive mode using their quick tiles provided by joneplustools and systemuituner. The easiest solution is to reboot the phone.

Well but are you rooted?
Because I can disable navbar but on home screen it'll be always there, so I can't use bottom gestures, only edge...

Right now I'm rooted, yes.
Without root the navbar always shows if you swipe from the bottom. You could try a 0px navbar by I think it doesn't work in OOS at the moment.

I already have the 0pt navbar and used successfully on S8 but with OnePlus it just don't works, I suppose because the navbar is named "drawable" in OnePlus internals while in APK it's "navbar", at least I've read it on multiple sources...

Yeah that must be the reason.
If you don't want to root right now your solution is to use a gesture app like edge gestures or swipe navigation because you can use gestures from the right/left edge so you activate the navbar less often.
It's not ideal but is has one advantage; for example when I want to close a game using the back button, the gesture sometimes is not recognized and I have to activate the navbar using the quick setting and that sometimes breaks the home gesture like we discussed yesterday so I have to reboot the phone sometimes. You only have to swipe from the bottom and it's all fine.

Yeah...but the fact that navbar is permanent in home screen no matter if you choose to hide it or not is really disappointing...

According to my experience this kind of problem is most likely caused by a third party app, possibly an xposed module or some half baked apk. Privately exchange a list of your installed apps, compare and concentrate on the more dubious apps you have in common and you may find your culprit there.

Well I don't have any X module since I'm not rooted, apps installed I don't know but I doubt it because are the same apps that was in S8 before, so I don't think that an app can interfere with the 0pt navbar functions...

Yeah that's the main gripe. I suppose you are concerned about burn-in.
I don't know if stock OOS Oreo will fix that. Maybe some Dev can mod the navbar file as I was done with the old filetype as in the Galaxy S8.
I also can tell you that on LiquidRemix 8.0 ( it's on a Telegram group as is in testing stage ) you could hide the navbar completely without root but I understand that you don't want to change the rom and right now is has bugs so is better to stay in Oxygen.
Right now I'm using stock OOS 4.7.4 with root and to update is super easy, just download and flash the full zip, flash your kernel + magisk/superSu after and it's done.
I don't know if you care about Android Pay...

I can tell you that on a fresh installed OOS 4.7.4 without third party apps it doesn't work. The problem is that on Oxygen the navbar has another name in system so that mod doesn't work.

No I don't care about it because there's no need for it now, at least for me.
I've always rooted phones, no problems with that, it's just that I don't feel the need to do it with 5T since is nearly stock and good to run stock "as is"...

Question before rooting

I'm wondering if any custom ROMs have the following features:
-Double tap to wake, that works alongside fingerprint scanner
-swipe selection (I was an Android user a few years back, don't know if this tweak is still around)
-lockscreen pattern unlock in which you can change the dot grid size
Thanks in advance!

I think all of those are available, but not sure they are all in one rom. I am currently running the AquariOS room with great great results. Head over to the thread and look at the OP. Also look at the Flash Kernel and installing the TWRP zip is the way to go. @Badger50 is running almost the same exact setup as me so he would be another source of help. I'm going to be away for a couple weeks but if your starting from scratch, I would ask about what you are unsure of after reading a lot.

They all pretty much have DTTW, as do all the custom kernels.
Swipe selection?? Explain in what context you mean...lock screen, notifications, recents???
Grid size adjustment?? Not that I've seen or noticed. Then again, I don't use it.

OK I found an app that sorted swipe selection.. basically I meant cursor control using a swipe on the keyboard!
So yeah are there any ROMs that allow you to have pattern lock with a larger grid.. so there are more than 9 dots?

Ah, Swype keyboard is what you meant. You'll likely need a keyboard that allows that feature like Swift, Swype, or Smart keyboard. That's another feature that I've never used or liked. Heck, I still use the t9 method since I'm old and like 2 letters on my keys. As far as the pattern grid, no, there is no adjustment on Aquarios rom that allows you to increase the number of dots. However, I bet there's an app for that. What isn't there an app for anything these days

I hear ya man. You could research exposed to see if there's anything that'll help you find what your looking for. And just a little FYI..Smart keyboard pro, which is what I use, has t9 and swipe actions if you'd like

Custom ROM with navigation bar hide feature like OOS?

I'm on OOS 5.1.1 and I like navigation bar hide feature on it (toggle button on the left side)
I want to try other custom roms but they don't seem to have that feature.
(Not an Expanded Desktop. It's very uncomfortable to use)
Is there any other rom with navigation bar hide feature?
EDIT: I don't want to use any root/magisk/xposed module.

exposed edge can do the work , but u need to root it with magisk first

I hope rom supports hide feature, don't want my device stay rooted or use xposed.

For now I use 'Granular Immersive' app. It is flexible in that one can configure to hide navigation by app.
But I would prefer if it had ways to configure such in bulk. Nevertheless it works fine for me.

i'm using magisk for ASOP based custom Roms such as linage os or phenix os. can force hide nav bar and using xposed edge to set gestures like oos.

Hi can you provide link, please

I’ve tried several custom rom and none of the them has oxygen os gesture navigation.
It’s a shame.
They provide other gesture navigation system but much less reliable and user friendly and using the button navigation bar area for some gesture but with this method you are loosing real estate from the screen(it’s like you are having invisible navigation bar button)
Oxygen os gesture navigation is superior to all crap solution custom rom offer.

Thanks following your step by step instructions , I successfully installed Xposed edge aaand it works very well !!!

Most custom AOSP roms have the Disable Navigation Bar quick setting tile. I'm using OmniROM, arguably the best custom firmware for the 5T.
You can get the best OnePlus gestures replacement app ever, right here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivianuu.oneplusgestures

I've used for years navigation gesture apps like GMD gestures and All in One Gestures. They're much more customizable than the OOS gesture navigation and they work well in custom roms. OOS tends to kill background services in itself unless the app/service is converted as an system app. You need root but it doesn't trigger safety net and my banking apps work as well.

I like Omnirom but Disable Navigation Bar quick setting tile is very annoying.
Expanded Desktop that styles can be set style for all app, not per app and quick setting tile is much better, like in AOKP.

How is it very annoying? Once you toggle it, you don't really have to do it again unless you are troubleshooting something with the Gestures replacement.
Perhaps you're using it for a different purpose?
EDIT: Oh, I guess you just want it to come back whenever you swipe. You can add the Immersive Mode tile to Quick Settings in OmniROM using Tiles, a terrific app that adds additional tiles to QuickSettings.

What are the must have Magisk mod's ?

I just rooted my 3 XL, and have Magisk installed of course.
So what are the must have Modules on this new phone ?
- Is there a mod that allows me to "Swipe down Expand notifications" without installing a separate launcher like Nova ?
- Mod to give me back the old 3 soft nav keys ? The Back / Home / Recents setup?
- Best battery saver mod ?
- Greenify still needed for Pixel 3 type phones ?
- Mod to allow me to have separate volume options for Ringer and Notification sounds ?
Thanks

1. Not that I'm aware of yet except nova.
2. This mod with adb shell will give you the old nav bar back..https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3/help/how-to-remove-gesture-navigation-return-t3856560
3. Best battery saver mod is to let your phone learn your usage for a while, and keep track of any rouge apps you see.
4. I can't speak about greenify. Some like it, but I've never needed it on my P2XL. Can't imagine the P3XL will be much different.
5. You'll likely need a custom rom for that one.

How about mods for stock launcher to increase rows/columns and icon size?
Would rather keep using stock launcher (over custom ones) in order to use the native "swipe up" screen

take a look in the themes and mods section. there are mods you can flash available that will do that

The Edge Sense Plus app in the apps and mods section is great for changing the settings for the edge squeeze.

Question I am looking for a custom rom or an app/tool to customize and change recents app view

Hi there
Could anyone help me on this matter?
I am looking to customize and change the recents app view, I think it is called the overview window as well, as i do not like the way it looks on android 12, when it shows the app screenshots side by side and you have to scroll through them.
I'd like a lighter, simpler way to use the recents app screen, does anyone know of a custom rom that let's me do this or a tool that can let me customize the app switcher?
Thank you

the new version of poco launcher (4.xx) has an option to change it

Are you on an AOSP Custom ROM? I know there's "QuickSwitch" on GitHub. It lets you change the 'Recents' to that of another installed launcher, however the launcher must support being the Recents-provider.
QuickSwitch is good for when you're on MIUI and like to have the AOSP 'Recents' by selecting Lawnchair as the Recents-provider.
Other than that... MIUI has a vertical Recents option as well. Some versions of MIUI don't have the vertical option, IDK why... I have it on my Xiaomi.eu Custom ROM (MIUI 13).
