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.
https://developer.android.com/refer...lityservice/FingerprintGestureController.html
You guys using them?
It is good and I wanted to use them badly but one main thing I am missing is the additional gestures that the navigation buttons had with them.
I use to double tap on recent button to switch screen off which is not possible to do with new gestures.
Having additional app or using the physical button is what I wanted to avoid.
have been using them long time ago with the app swipe navigation. Works perfectly once you get used to it.
I'm a minimalist. I have my dock & notification bar hidden also. Love that clean approach. Best part is if anyone finds/steals it, that are clueless.
Has there been a port of the new swipe guestures to nougat? I'm on 7.1.1
I am using gesture swipes, it is nice way to use phone without buttons... For double tap to lock, there is way if you are using Nova for example.....
With Beta 7 you can double tap to sleep without nav bar
You lose all of the additional gestures you have with the navbar, but in my opinion it looks way cleaner and really emphasizes the big display. And also one less spot risking permanent burn-in!
While I do like the off-screen gestures, and do use them, I actually prefer Motorola's gestures where you can quickly 'wave' you're phone in the air and the flashlight turns on, or how you can give the phone a flick and the camera app open. It's faster IMO.
But I still would prefer a Oneplus 5t over any Motorola anyday.
Love em, with an advanced launcher like Action or Nova you've got a ton more gestures that can be assigned covering the lost shortcuts on the nav buttons and then some. Speaking for myself I've got leftover swipes and taps that remain unassigned and can get to anything I use with regularity with a single touch. I liked some of the Motorola stuff myself, like Oneplus they've kept to a mostly stock experience with genuinely useful adds that don't detract from the "stockness". For some reason I really liked being able to change the ok google command to whatever I wanted and that would probably be my top pick if Oneplus were to, ahem, borrow, something from them.
Disabled them all got tired of accidentally turning the flashlight on
What I think would be the most useful feature is iPhone's double tap (not click) to bring down UI on top. Android should support this native long ago...
Needs tweaking..Still using xposed edge gestures, because I'd like for swipe up Near back button for back, swipe up near home bottom to home, and swipe up near recents to recents. i only use this mode to disable annoying nav bar easily

This can be done with many of the launchers although swipe down (anywhere) fits in better with the notification shade as it already expands via swipe down. I suspect the reason it and many other things aren't standard is a lack of consensus. With the shade already working with swipes many of us have double tap allocated elsewhere the most common usage probably being for sleep and wake purposes.
It's always hard to tell the level of experience users have so don't take this the wrong way... Your post suggests you might want to consider taking a few launchers for a test drive because no matter what you like there is one that works better than what came stock.
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
Remove NavBar Gesture Pill (and more) for Pixel 6 Pro
Update: This only works if you are rooted now, since the January 2022 patch. Hi guys, I've seen several posts asking how to remove the Gesture Pill. It's easy if you're rooted, but it's also possible if you're not rooted. Here is a step by step...
forum.xda-developers.com
Hi all!
The above link is from the Pixel 6 Pro forum. In it is a non-root method of using Fabricated Overlays (new to Android 12) to hide/remove either the navigation pill bar (thus, retaining default gestures without taking up screen space for the bottom pill) or the three button navigation bar (what I did to enable custom gestures, such as FNG). I'd like to spread the word in case anybody here is interested in trying it out on their Android 12-based custom ROMs.
For reference, I'm on Arrow OS 12.0 and got it working well enough, though this method also hides the pills that custom gesture apps provide. I currently use FNG to have three bottom swiped gestures (back, home, recents) and a right side swipe gesture (brings up my Panels apps and widgets) while also using Bottom Quick Settings. All work perfectly!
Is it normal for my fabricated overlays to be reset everytime I reboot ?
Anyway to make them persistent?
Thanks !

From what I can tell, the January security patch for AOSP roms has closed being able to use Fabricated Overlays to affect the navigation bar.
Before that, it was normal for the overlays to remain after reboot. I guess it depends on what OS you're using.
