Some quick feedback:
1) I swipe the trigger to exit full screen, no problem. But the trigger doesn't let me enter full screen mode. It would be useful to have the trigger toggle between the last full screen mode and normal mode. I did program a Gesture Control gesture to toggle Immersive, so maybe that's a good enough workaround.
2) I'm able to use the keyboard if it was already open before I entered full screen mode. I can't dismiss the keyboard due to the back button limitation, but the keyboard does work. Also, DocsToGo's context menu has a "Toggle Keyboard" item, so I'm able to open and close and use the keyboard in that app. But I'm unable to change the cursor position in a document while in full screen mode.
3) Not being able to use the back button or execute a "back" gesture in Gesture Control when in immersive mode is really annoying. You also can't use the menu button. But I think enabling the "back" function is the #1 feature I'd like to have.
4) I can't open the notifications when in immersive mode. If I execute my Gesture Control gesture to open notifications, nothing happens, and when I exit immersive mode, the notifications are already opened. Force Immersive Mode has the same limitation, and the dev hasn't been able to solve it.

You have to swipe trigger downwards. You cannot touch above trigger. You have to touch exactly on trigger (or some 1 mm above) red line. Just do light touch an swipe. You can increase trigger sensitivity in settings to you comfort level. It actually works quite well when you get used to where to touch. There is also TOUCH mode (instead of SWIPE) available in settings.
Trigger allows you to toggle last fullscreen mode on/off. Thats the idea.
2,3,4 - cant fix in app but I will look if I can find some workaround with root in Gesture Control.

TOUCH mode works great toggling in either direction, even with sensitivity reduced to 3. It has nice feel, and you've done a great job providing just the right customizations for the trigger location and appearance.
For SWIPE mode, I swipe up to exit immersive, no problem. But when I swipe down to enter immersive, it never works no matter what setting I try. I think I do like TOUCH better, and now that TOUCH works, I don't need the GC gesture. But I'm just letting you know that SWIPE isn't working properly on my S4.
By the way, the home button also doesn't work in immersive mode. But I have "home" programmed to a GC gesture, and it works. So I'm hoping the "back" function can be made to work with a GC gesture.

I've installed Pro, rebooted, and am testing with XPrivacy turned off.
1) As with the experimental version, you can't use the BACK button or a GC BACK gesture while immersed. We really need a workaround for the BACK function to make this app useful.
2) It FC's every time I tried to change Auto Hide Delay, Trigger Width, Trigger Position, or Trigger Sensitivity. These didn't have a problem in the first experimental version. Then, when I unchecked "Show in Fullscreen (PRO)," it allowed me to change those settings. I'm actually not sure what "Show in Fullscreen" does, so I rechecked it after adjusting the other settings.
3) If I switch to an un-immersed app, then when I leave that app I'm still not immersed and the trigger bar does not appear and I have to re-immerse via the notifications. Sometimes, though, this problem doesn't happen and it un-immerses/re-immerses correctly.
4) I'm able to use the keyboard while immersed by opening the keyboard before immersing. But then you have to un-immerse to dismiss the keyboard due to not having a BACK function.
Thank you so much for trying it.

I'm looking how to work around it next. I understand you are just testing it as you have exposed and you can use Force IM module . I also plan to add xp module into GC and AHSK to toggle full screen properly with root.

The idea was that apps that do not have saved setting do not change it automatically so if you left unimmersed app then this is not changed unless you have saved setting for the next app.
Unimermsed mode basically turns everything off and removes trigger so yes you have to use notification again. If you want to have trigger then you should show navigation bar with trigger instead. You can turn off Autohide but it is global. Do you think it is needed to have per app option to turn on/off autohide for app?

You can call keyboard when navigation bar is visible (even if you triggered it with trigger). Once visible it will work even if navbar hides. Just swipe the trigger then click input box.

I'm actually not sure what you mean by, " If you want to have trigger then you should show navigation bar with trigger instead." I made a setting for each app individually instead of just leaving them blank, and that gives the behavior I expect. But per app is a pro feature, so not everyone will be able to do this.

Would it make sense if I restore previous mode when leaving application that had saved setting?
So it would work like this:
1. App A does not have saved setting but you switch to immersive manually
2. Open app B. I has save regular mode, so immersive is turned off.
3. Leave app B, last immersive mode is restored.
However if you change mode manually while in B then this mode will stick and won't change when leaving B?

Actually, I don't think it matters to me. By making a setting for every single app, I take full and unambiguous control. Then the per app page shows me at a glance how I've set everything. I actually prefer that to leaving apps unset and relying on some default behavior. The non-pro users will certainly care about how you set the default behavior, but the pro users don't have to care if they don't want to.

Congrats on getting featured on XDA.
You're one great guy. I remember writing to you a few months back with regards to some slowdown when I was using GMD Gesture Control and you replied fast and with many details
There's a issue I'd like to report. When you're in immersive mode, you can't really tap on any system lines.
For example, if you go into immersive mode while being in the GMD Full Screen Immersive Mode app, you can't go into general, trigger etc - why is that?
Does this basically make my mod useless hahaha

I didn't know about Adguard and am very glad you mentionned it as ad blocking was the main reason I wanted root (I used to use MOAAB) ! I bought a year license. Regarding All in one gestures I was very interested in the double-tap to screen off but it happens to be too much sensitive: every time I want to tear down the control panel, screen goes off so I removed the app. Thank you anyway for all these bright tips mate !

It's a false positive for the battery use, from what I understand it's taking it from where it would usually appear without it from elsewhere. Same scenario as Adguard..
I'm not having issues with the ram side of things
Re Adguard.. If peeps can afford the subscription, it's well worth it. Seems to be by far the best around. 7 day trial out of the box..

Jealous of the cool new gesture navigation feature on the Apple iPhone X, Android P, or OnePlus 5T/OnePlus 6? With Navigation Gestures, you don't have to go out and buy a new phone if you want to change the way you use your phone. This app brings gesture navigation to any Android device!
Best of all, with Navigation Gestures you can completely hide the stock navigation bar without root! This is the only gesture control app with this feature.
Swipe left, right, up, or down. Swipe up and hold. Tap. Double tap. Long press. There's a lot of ways you can interact with the gesture bar to control your phone. Don’t like how the gesture bar looks? You can customize its appearance! Here’s what you can do:

* Media actions are not guaranteed to work with every app. Media actions use standard Android APIs to work with most apps.
** If you notice that an app is "slow" to launch after using the pill to trigger the home button, that's because of an obscure change made all the way back in Android 4.4 KitKat. Unless you have this Xposed Module or a custom ROM installed with the patch, there's no way around it.
***Lock Screen is compatible with the vast majority of devices. How it works is like this: Makes screen brightness and display timeout minimum and then displays a fullscreen black activity until the phone actually enters sleep mode from the timeout (~5 seconds.) There are other ways to lock the screen but we decided against them, at least for this release.
****Screenshot action uses the MediaProjection API, which is normally used to record the screen. Here, we just record the screen for a single frame. This is the only way pre-Android P for it to work. Screenshots are saved to /Pictures/NavigationGestures

Frequently Asked Questions
Help, I uninstalled the app and I can't access my navigation bar anymore!
Please connect to your computer and run the following command:
Code:
adb shell wm overscan reset
Help, I uninstalled the app and the original navigation bar keeps hiding itself!
Please connect to your computer and run the following command:
Code:
adb shell settings delete global policy_control
Can we add a feature where the pill is in its own separate area so it doesn't overlap with certain UI elements?
No, sorry. We are already pushing the screen content down to hide the nav bar. Adding this feature would require us to push the screen content up as well. We can’t have it both ways.
There's a "white line" at the bottom of the screen!
This is NOT a bug. This is a side-effect of a change we intentionally made after version 1.0.0 because without it, many Samsung, Motorola, and Xiaomi devices were reporting major bugs (eg. black screen after unlocking which made the phone unusable.) The “white line” is caused by the navigation bar being hidden 99.99% but not 100% (ie. we hiding the navigation bar entirely except for 1 pixel.) So the “white line” is actually just your navigation bar that’s colored white. We added an Experimental Setting called "Use Full Overscan" which gets rid of the white line. Use it at your own risk.
Pill doesn't work with Samsung DeX/Samsung Good Lock!
Android prevents third-party apps from showing overlays on top of SystemUI apps like the status bar and lock screen. You can use the blacklist function in Behavior settings to make the original nav bar show in these apps.
Pill doesn't show when you open the camera from the lock screen, answer a call from the lock screen, or open a notification for quick reply from the lock screen!
Android prevents third-party apps from showing overlays on top of SystemUI apps like the status bar and lock screen. This also includes calls, apps, or notifications answered from the lock screen. The pill cannot be shown until you unlock the device.
Pill doesn't show in Facebook Messenger, Drupe, or other floating apps!
Go to Experimental Settings and select the "Keep Pill Shown in other Overlay Apps." Pick Messenger, Drupe, etc. in this list.
Pill doesn’t work with screen pinning.
We have no way of simulating a long press on the back button without root. A tentative solution we are looking into is detecting when the phone enters a pinned screen state and disabling the pill to bring back the stock nav bar.
Home action doesn't work on the OnePlus 5!
OxygenOS prevents the app from performing the home action if you both enable the software navigation bar and disable the "always enable home button" option in Button settings. To fix this, please enable the "always enable home button" option.
Pill keeps "jumping" up and down with the navigation bar!
This means you either enabled Immersive Mode manually (ie. not from the app) or another app triggered Immersive Mode which is interfering with our app. Here are some possible causes and solutions:
Nova Launcher: In the "Notification Bar" section under "Look & Feel," there may be a "Hide Navigation Bar" option. If there is, check to make sure that it is disabled.
LG G6/LG V20/LG V30/LG G7 ThinQ: Go to*Settings > Display > Home touch buttons > Hide Home touch buttons and disable the "lock/hide icon" option up top and uncheck every app in the list.
Samsung Galaxy S8/Samsung Galaxy Note 8/Samsung Galaxy S9: Go to*Settings > Display > Nav Bar > Show and Hide Button and turn off the toggle up top and uncheck every app in the list.
Feature requests
Is it possible to keep the pill in the same spot when rotating the screen?
We will be adding this as a feature in a future release.
Can we add an action to launch a shortcut/activity?
Yes, that is planned for a future release (premium.)
Can we add Tasker integration?
Yes, that is planned for a future release (premium.)
Can we add a swipe down and hold gesture?
Yes, that is on our todo list.

There's no difference with running this on a rooted device right now except it'll make setup easier (you don't need to use your PC for set up if you're rooted.)
In a future release we may allow for shortcuts/intents to be sent so you can customize the action to your heart's content (and potentially use root to do more actions.)
Also, if there's enough demand we may use input KeyEvent commands to inject button presses rather than the Accessibility API. This should give better performance but it requires root. It's not something we've implemented yet though.

Hi !
First of all thanks for your job !
I want to report a bug on Note 8 Oreo. There's a problem with Samsung Internet and Touchwiz launcher.
I've attached a picture of the issue

There's no difference with running this on a rooted device right now except it'll make setup easier (you don't need to use your PC for set up if you're rooted.)
In a future release we may allow for shortcuts/intents to be sent so you can customize the action to your heart's content (and potentially use root to do more actions.)
Also, if there's enough demand we may use input KeyEvent commands to inject button presses rather than the Accessibility API. This should give better performance but it requires root. It's not something we've implemented yet though.

Well, for me is no big deal. But for others, running ADB could be. I don't think it's right to not be able to skip that permission, since, you can(almost) disable completely the taskbar..
when the typing, pill is up-on the keyboard. it must always be in the bottom.
Wow.. cool :good:
@MishaalRahman: APK ?
asking for root permission on Samsung S9 plus SM-965F. without root permission app is not functioning
Great app but after I enabled Navigation Gestures. My icons/screen move to the right side. I'm using S9+ . Please advise.

That's by design so it doesn't interfere with the keyboard.

You can ignore the root prompt and follow the instructions to grant the permission manually by ADB.

That is very strange. This seems to only be happening on Samsung phones. We asked Max Weinbach who has an S9 to test it and he never had this issue. We'll have to figure out why that happens.
Thanks for this app, I'm having fun playing with it.
Using it on Oneplus 5t oreo stable 5.1.1 magisk root, all permissions granted, premium addon installed, nova launcher beta.
When I set the vibration to 0ms when I exit that page of settings the vibration gets automatically reset to the default 50ms.
This does not seem to occur on any setting from 1ms upwards. I am interested to see if anyone else can reproduce this behaviour.
The way the pill works with SwiftKey keyboard is interesting, perfectly functional but not an ergonomic location on a longer screen for me.
Edit: ninja'd by the OP, see why you've done it that way with the keyboard now.

I see now. It only happened when doing gesture up on the screen for "All Apps" the only way for me to make it normal again by turn the the screen off and turn it on again.
anyone know how to turn off that system prompt displaying over other applications on notification? kinda annoying...btw using emui 8 oreo 8.1
Working fine on my Xperia Z5 running stock nougat...
Pill on top of the Keyboard is the safest position in my opinion to avoid accidentally pressing it when tapping the space key..
I hope you can introduce more swiping features in your future updates.
Great work.
Edit:
In some games the pill disappears completely leaving no option to exit the game. What I did was to go to settings via control pannel.
Hi,
I want to share with you today - how to trigger one handed mode,
with full screen gestures mode - on, by swiping the bottom of the screen.
So as you know - you can trigger the one handed mode, which is a very useful feature in miui...
by swiping from the home button to one of the other buttons, depending on which side you want to shrink the screen towards.
But if you are like me,
and love the wonderful full screen navigation style...
you don't have navigation buttons, therefore can only use the 'quick ball' to trigger one handed mode, which is not ideal.
This requires no rooting, but will require you to run an adb command on a computer.
Also the apps used are not free.
I will not go into step by step detail because:
1. I'm lazy
2. you need tasker or a similar app compatible with tasker plugins... and I use Automate, which is less common.
So you will need a few (Paid) apps:
1. Gesture control (or similar, but something that allows launching shortcuts)
2. tasker / automate / some other automation app compatible with tasker plugins
3. AutoTools plugin for tasker
Install all those, configure write secure settings permission via adb on a PC as instructed by the plugin (#3)
Once done - create a tasker task that will:
1. use the plugin to change the setting: name= "force_fsg_nav_bar", type= global, value type = int, value = 0
2. wait for a second
3. change the setting back to 1
what this will do is basically show the navigation bar for a second and then hide it again.
Now configure Gesture control app to trigger this tasker task by swiping left or right
you can also tweak around to make it smaller, invisible, customize other gestures & whatever...
(Personally I added 'double tap' to screen off,
'long tap' to launch Native clipboard app,
and 'double tap and hold' to trigger flashlight...)
Done!
You can now swipe the bottom of the screen,
and this will pop up the navbar for 1 sec, so you can swipe again in the desired direction to trigger one handed mode!
Or you can use edge gestures https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.edgegestures which is imo the best gestures app out there, OR
Navigation gestures by XDA https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.nobar its free! Oh, and it is much simpler to use this apps than your ways. No tasker or whatever is required

Yes, you definitely can, the gesture app is not what matters here.
What matters is that no app can trigger MIUI's one handed mode (there is xda's one handed mode but it's buggy...)
That is why you need to pop up the navbar-> and that is why tasker + a plugin is required.
I tried but unfortunally its not as fluid as miui :/
I cant stand the delay to trigger the commands and the animations are ****
did you turn off miui's gestures? I didn't... I use this side by side with them

How can we enable immersive mode for all apps. I miss stock Android using the system ui tuner, so I hope someone knows an easy way to get this. I have tried "full screen mode" in Good Lock it just makes the app use the whole screen with status bar showing.
I'm using Tasker and Navigation Gestures to turn Immersive Mode on and off depending on the screen orientation. You'll need the pro version of Navigation Gestures to link to Tasker, but after that, it would be simple to make a Tasker profile based on what app is open. If you just want to have Immersive Mode active all the time, you won't need Tasker. But I'd suggest you use Tasker for per app functionality because Immersive Mode can make some apps clunky or even unusable.
I'm using gesture navigation through out the whole system (meaning i don't have software buttons for back, home, etc). When I launch any game(or app) that runs in fullscreen mode and i want to go back, i need to swipe two times in order to go back. After first swipe the notification bar appears and then after next swipe I'm able to perform "back" action. Is this a bug of a beta version? This weird behaviour never happend in previous version on Android 11. When I swipe from bottom to access desktop screen, there's no need for double swipe. This "bug" is only present when I try to go back in fullscreen app mode. Bug or feature? How can I fix that to previous behaviour like was in Android 11?

FYI, this option doesn't apply to my needs. Although I play games in fullscreen, i don't play games at landscape mode, only portrait ones.

Check the games launcher app maybe? I think there is also a mistouch prevention setting there too.
Unfortunately i can only disable gesture navigation in specific app but not what i needed. This function completely disables any swipe gestures when activated :/
