I really like the swipe to open the app drawer. Anyone know if there is a way to replicate this with any of the home launchers?

If you can figure out the shortcut or shell script to open the app drawer you could use LMT or any gestures app to replicate it.
Nevermind, Nova Launcher does it.
Nova Launcher is great for gestures. Double tap for messages, swipe down for notification bar, 2 finger swipe down to lock screen.
Once you go Nova, no turning back.

Yeah, I'm using Nova, Action launcher does it too.
Smart Launcher opens app drawer by swiping from left hand side of Screen, been using it for a couple years now.

Yea, you can customise a massive amount of custom gestures with Nova to do any number of things.

I used Nova for 4 years... Tried a lot of launchers but returned always to Nova... Now it's over a month that I use new touchwiz (before on s7 with a s8 port and now on a s8+) and I like it very much! Will see if I remain here or will return to Nova again...

I would have stuck with this version of TouchWiz too but I really like being g able to overlap widgets in my home screen. It is the only reason I went back to Nova

Hi guys,
Yesterday I was trying some launchers because I'm bored with Sense's one.
I tryied launcher pro and it was a very good launcher but it had something I don't like.
Let's say I'm in the home screen. I go to the menu and I tap to open for example Gallery app. If I hit back, with the launcher pro it sends me to the home screen (just like if I hit home button) BUT the Sense's launcher goes really back -> to the previous screen which is the menu.
Can I make something for the LauncherPro to work like Sense on this situation?
Thanks a lot guys.

I just checked my settings, there's lots of options and I didn't check them all but it looks like you could at least set the home button to open/close the app drawer in preferences>behavior. That might be a solution.

As I said ... I just want when running LauncherPro the 'back' button to have the same behavior as when running Sense.

Just tested on my phone and it takes me back to the screen I was on. I couldn't find anything in the settings though, so I'm not sure why your's is doing this.
Sorry!

You launched an app from the menu? Then you hitted the back button and taked you to the previous screen (not homescreen) at menu?
Strange thing. My brother's Zte Blade does the same with my phone...

I think OP is talking about opening an app from the app drawer right?
Unfortunately launcherpro doesn't allow the app drawer to be opened in the background, so pressing back will just put you back to home screen.
I think most other launchers do the same thing. You can try other launchers like ADW launcher, Zeam Launcher and Go Launcher. See if any of them has more App Drawer options for you..

Yes... that's I'm talking about. Back to the app drawer.
Tested ADW, does the same.... that's awful.
To see the list of recently called (active) apps - I have to long-press "Menu" button, which is not very comfortable. How to make it work with swiping on screen upward? Are there any configuration settings for that in kitkat?

If you are rooted you can try with xposed framework and gravity box or some other modules that allow you to change your navbar settings or your hard keys configuration.

I do have root, but xposed - or rather its modules, but it's almost the same - does not work at my phone (Alcatel Idol X+).

You can have this gesture, but not while using an app. That's because this would interfere with scrolling or possible app gestures.
I have the exact gesture set to open recent apps with Nova Launcher.
Install Nova launcher, go to Nova settings, gestures and buttons and set the swipe up gesture to open Recent Apps.
This will work when you are on one of your home screens, but not in apps, like I said.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Hi, thanks. The matter is that I use the launcher, which I don't wish to change. I've been using it for a while and I find it the most suitable for me. It's Launcher Pro. Mostly because it allows to make a bottom bar of shortcuts scrollable, fitting there more than 4-5 icons. Also it's quite fast and does not drain battery.

Nova launcher does this as well. It's incredibly light and fast. Very customizable. Give it a shot. You might like it.
It's considered by many the best android launcher.
I have the paid version and nova launcher is always my first installed app after flashing any rom.
To activate the dock (bottom bar) pages, go to nova settings, dock, dock pages. You can also set the number of dock icons and a lot of other stuff actually

Thanks, the launcher itself is good, but as to swiping action - it seems does not solve my problem. The swiping works if it happens on blank zone. On my Meizu firmware, when I, for instance, had some PDF opened full-screen - I could swipe from bottom of screen or side - if being in landscape orientation - and recent apps bar appeared, so I could call dictionary or encyclopaedia, whatever, and the same way back. It was fast and comfortable. Here it does not work...

Yep. Like I said, it only works from one of the home screens. Don't know what else to suggest unfortunately

In case someone is interested, more or less normal way to do it - "All in one gesture" application. It adds a small "hot spot" zone to drag from.
Is there anyway to swipe down on the middle of the screen to pull down the notification bar? Seems like a simple feature that should be on this phone. Am i missing it ? Thanks
Just the home sceeen? That's a launched feature. If you mean everywhere that isn't a good idea as appa with downwards swiping (read: many) would not be able to swipe down. I'd be cool if the stock launcher had it tho

Yes just on the home screen. I find it hard to swipe down all the way from the top.
A good gesture to add support for in Cyanogen.
Then you could try using a launcher with gesture support, such as Nova, Apex, etc...
I use that on apex launcher on all my phones. And I do now.
Also use swipe up gesture.
It's ideal! Plus apex is quicker and more customizable then trebuchet

Most third party launchers have gesture support and enabled as default on Nova launcher. If using Google now launcher you'd need xposed framework along with GEL xposed to achieve gestures.

I have tried several with no luck and for whatever reason any 3rd party launcher seems to not consistently work, ie default launcher gets "un-selected". So anyone using a shortcut maker that allows you to select an image?
I've had no problems with Nova Launcher. I use the Samsung swipe up navigation gestures and all seems great.

If you install goodlock (and the taskchanger sub app) from the Samsung app store then all of the gestures work reliably
I know this isn't specifically related to the Fold2, but given its unique two-screen implementation, I'm trying to stay away from Nova Launcher and stick to the stock One UI home launcher, as it permits different setups on each of the screens which I think is key.
Anyway, I've relied so heavily on Nova Launcher for little things like two-finger swipe down to trigger a Sesame search (e.g. launch any app without having in on a home screen), I'm having a hard time replicating some of this.
Right now, I'm having to put a Sesame widget on each screen, but has anyone found a Gesture App that will enable my to do a two-finger swipe down to trigger an app launch (e.g. Sesame) with the stock One UI launcher?
Yes, I know I can swipe up from the bottom to get to the app drawer and then do a search, but that's more clicks because you have to click on the field for the app search, whereas with sesame you click on the widget and it's right in the text search box with the keyboard ready (little things...!)
Otherwise I'm still on the learning curve of One UI home since I've literally never used it across S7, S10+, S20+ ugh....

I use FNG https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid and have a swipe up from the side of the phone trigger sesame.
You can set it up really any way you want i just prefer having the gesture similar to getting access to the app drawer.

Thanks, not quite what I want, and I guess you need the Pro version to pick a specific app...but appreciate it nonetheless.
Answering my own question...this doesn't quite meet the requirement in terms of it being a two-finger swipe down gesture, but Samsung's own *free* One-Hand Operation + allows you to assign any app to a single-finger swipe in from left or right (yes, it conflicts with gestures from one side but I always swipe back on the right anyway). Confirmed working with Sesame - yay!
