Is there any way to turn off multiwindow, as it is set to longpress recents and creates a delay when trying to go to recents because of it.
To turn off multiwindow you mist add the toggle. You will need an sqlit editor and just like adding MobileData add MultiWindow

Can I use an sqlit editor without root?

You sure? I could imagine that if a double tap was required then there might be a delay while the phone waits to see if the user wants to tap again, but for a long press vs short press? Surely when the user taps the recents button there's no need for the phone to delay further?

Yeah, I think you're right. I turned off multi window and I don't see a difference.

I remember that there was a way to remove on screen buttons but don't remember how. Anyone know how since we now have s-off. I purchased an app a while back that allowed you to set swipe gestures as anything you want. So I set home, back, menu, recents, and google now as 2-3 finger swipes which is better than having on screen buttons.
edit- I removed it. Only issue is icons get pushed higher on homescreen only and can't move them lower.

No app just edit build.prop and add to the end qemu.hw.mainkeys=1. Then reboot.

Carrier tile IS data tile. ._.
Long press it if you're on 100% stock, or use GravityBox to change it so that it switches around long and short press actions. Custom ROMs usually have it switched around already.

Long pressing carrier toggle takes you to mobile data usage tab where you can enable/disable data
Why not use power toggles?

Stock = Tap to enter the relevant Settings window, Long press to quick-toggle
Custom ROM = Tap to quick-toggle, Long press to enter relevant Settings window

So you don't need to go to settings and toggle, right? In that case, most of the custom rom's has that feature by default. For example, PA has it by default.

Unfortunately long press doesn't work on that tile with stock functionality. Would be nice though, not like it'd be confused with switching off the voice network since that isn't actually possible without going into airplane mode anyways.

I have recently brought s7 edge and I am missing the feature of double tap to wake up the screen. I do believe this is a handy setting which removes the use of hard keys like power button and home key. I have also looked into third party apps in playstore but they are quite annoying with different ads and especially draining the battery.
Therefore if any of you have found this feature please let me know and if there is not any such feature would like to request the developer to think on this and build one for next update of nougat for s7 edge

Thank you for the reply. The application is good but it requires AOD to be on and frankly speaking I am not that much big fan of AOD although it is a good feature but it distracts a lot.

I know there's a way to put the device always in "Immersive Mode", that way you can hide the Navigation Bar:
Code:
settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*
But every time I swipe from the bottom to any place in the screen, the NavBar appears again (thats really frustrating >_<).
I use LMT Launched (pie), so... I don't need the NavBar to be there.
Is there a real way to truly disable the Navigation Bar???
On some roms, there's a way to do it from inside options (like in Pure Nexus rom for example), I'm currently using RenovateICE, but that option is not implemented yet.
Also, the old trick to disable the NavBar (qemu.hw.mainkeys=1) does not work on Android 7+.
Thank you for your time!!! =D
This is something I'd love to see a workaround for. I love the immersive mode feeling but I can't stand that you can't disable the nav bar completely. It hinders your ability to use swipe gestures whenever it comes back on screen and really it just defeats the purpose so I stopped using it for now.
I'll wait for a way to disable the nav bar completely on the stock ROM before I go back to "immersive mode" (if anything of the like ever comes along that is).

Yeah, or for example, when the keyboard pops out, the NavBar appears. D=

Hi,
I was facing the same thing, and decided to take the plunge and root my phone, just for this since I have an exynos version.
From then you can edit the prop build file and remove the navbar permanently.
I use Swipe Gesture (app) to navigate around the phone with every apps full screen, it is a game changer. You can even customise actions (long press launching split screen, ect...)

What line did you added to build.prop???
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 ????
Lilolilo27, if you could elaborate on which parameter(s) you had to change in the build prop I would be forever thankful! I didn't think there would be an easy fix for this so soon!
Hi,
Yes just add the qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 line to the end of the build prop file with a root explorer and reboot.
Just for precaution, make a backup of the prop file before hand AND set up Swipe Gesture or any other navigation app BEFORE making the change (or your keys will be gone and you wont be able to navigate around your phone)
Thanks lilolilo27. I'll have to give this a go when I have a few minutes and see how I come up. Thanks for the heads up btw.

Added it to my build.prop on Oreo b2, and had the same issue. Have you tried the layers solution? I would, but I haven't purchased the Samsung extension and don't really want to until I know it works (my hunch is that it only works on Nougat)

Thanks for the update! Just tested on a Mate 20 Pro, and managed to get it 'working', however swiping up to go home usually results in the Single press action getting triggered as well.
