Gestures customization - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

Hello, I would to request more customizations for the Oneplus 6 gestures to Oneplus. Question is if it has some kind of support here (maybe the devs can look into it).
I went from soft buttons (Oneplus One) to the op6 gestures but what am I missing is:
custom mapping swipe up/and hold for the left and right
So you can map search, menu, assistant, last app and so on.
What do you think?

Use gesture controls next level navigation for the play store. It much better for gestures I've been using since I had my 5T it has various customization options.

I can also recommend the Gesture Controls App, but it can do the most important things only with root. Also it would be nice to have customization in the stock gestures since they in my opinion are a lot smoother and work a lot better than the ones in the Gesture Controls app

oneplusgestures app does what you're looking for.

Need advices (Launcher + Gestures)

Hello everybody,
First of all, Big thanks for all the comunity for the outstanding job :good:
I am an owner of S7 Edge international version and also a Oneplus One (I will explain why I'm mentionning that). On the OPO, I experienced the Sailfish OS and it's a unique experience. What is really interesting is that this OS is swipe and gesture based and I consider that this will suites more the S7 edge because of the edges of the screen. The functions that I would like to import are :
- The swipe and gesture of course (I think that there are already apps who can do that so it's not a problem).
- A minimalist experience with just the Locksreen, Main screen with tiles of all the running apps (Like in Huawei P8 for example) and App drawer.
- A page with notification feed to replace OR in addition to the Notification drawer.
Due to the fact that I have 0 experience in coding and not enough time because of my professionnal life, I would like to know if there is a Launcher (I already searched) or an app or Xposed module that could do that.
How about Nova launcher pro?
I use the swype down for notification bar and swype up for settings. Also double tap to sleep (but you need to use root there! If not your fingerprint unlock wont work correctly and you always have to use the pin code)

After rooting the device, what did you do for the fingerprint unlock to work after double-tapped sleep? Any extra steps?
What exactly do you want to do by gestures? There are powerful apps like GMD gesture control etc. I personally use glove box as appdrawer/multitasking tool by a swipe from the edge accessible from everywhere and as mentioned above swipe down for notifications and swipe up for standard appdrawer in Nova launcher. That's all I need to keep my homescreen clean and speed up the work flow.
Please take a look at Sailfish OS to understand what I meant especially for the notification page. I can't post a link yet due to the rules but a quick search on youtube is enough.

I use nova and greenify : in the nova settings I make sure that a double tap hibernate apps and turn off the screen (with greenify option in nova). I also use the alternative screen off mode in the greenify settings.
So when I double tap, the screen turns off, and then I can unlock it directly with my fingerprint

If you use double tap to wake the normal way and have unlock issues go to:
Settings / device security / other security settings (at the bottom) / device administrator
Untick nova launcher and try to lock it with double tap.
It should now ask you if you want to do it with root.

And how about going back to the Topic's subject ?

If you want a minimalistic look the only app I know is KLWP.
But it won't be the same.
The last advice I can give you if you find nothing with the search is post your question in the Apps section http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games.
There are a hundred times more people around.

Must Have Apps On The ROG Phone [08-12-2018]

Hi guys,
These apps i am about to introduce will change your phone experience for the better not just our phone for that matter but any Android phone.
1. Immersive Mode Manager(Paid)
This app is a must for every Amoled screen to protect your phone from future screen burn, the other thing is you get to enjoy the full screen experience with every app on your phone. I install this app on all of my Android devices.
I have created a thread long ago doing it manually but i think it's too much of work for people who want an app for that, if you want a manual free alternative check it out.
2. Fluid Navigation Gestures(Free/Pro Features)
This is my second go to app which i was introduced to recently. I will dare to say IMPO that it's the best custom gesture navigation app on Android currently.
By the way our Asus gesture navigation is not bad but i feel it's not polished yet. Also by using Fluid Navigation Gestures we can disable the navigation bar in the keyboard so that is a plus. So go ahead and give it a try.
3. JINA: App Drawer, Sidebar & Folder Organizer(Free)
This app is also a recent discovery and i highly recommend it. What the stock rom or custom rom for that matter lacks to date is the ability to access your apps form any app without going back to the Home launcher to access the drawer. With this app you can achieve that and then some more. The only downside of this app is that it's not noob friendly it will take you a lot of time to figure out all the features it has. The best thing about it you can customize every aspect of it and it's free.
4. Glimpse Notifications, Always On Edge - Edge Lighting or Glance Plus(Free/ Free / Free)
So to my surprise the ROG phone doesn't wake the device when you receive notifications like my previous HTC phone, but don't fret because here where Glimpse Notifications solves the problem that is if you just want the screen to simply light up. If you want more customization then the other two apps are great to check out.
5. Blokada(Free)
You must have an Ad blocker on the list if you are unrooted and definitely one of the best open source and free app out there is this one.
6. Popup Widget 3(Paid)
Now this app will get your phone setup to another level, instead of cluttering your homescreen with widgets how about hiding them and calling them when needed only either through your home launcher gestures or a shortcut sidebar ... . Pretty cool right!. Now this isn't a must have app but i had to mention it because it's absolutely amazing. I have an old video featuring it check it out.
-------
I will keep updating this thread once other apps are discovered or suggested.
-------
*Launcher used: Nova Launcher
*Icon Pack: Pixel Icon Pack
Here is an updated video to showcase everything
Great List ! Much appreciated !
Thanks
Cool "A Liquid Cloud" live wallpaper. I bought the paid version to support the developer, but the free version is great.
Swiftkey Keyboard
Textra SMS
Firefox browser
I used to use a third party camera, but I like the default camera and love playing with Google Lens
I used to use Apex launcher, but they have gone downhill lately forcing bloatware on you. I might stick with the default. I like the default theme.
I have installed Immersive Mode Manager! Very cool!
is there any app or setting mod that allows can turn the RGB /aura lighting into a visualizer for audio/media playback ? like the audio visualizer chroma app available for razer chroma windows on windows platform ?

[app] Gestures navigation for honor play

fluid navigation
by far the most clean and stable navigation bar..
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid
using this settings. works perfect even when using keyboard. no ads butter smooth performance. using it since 1 week so its reliable. and add a toggle in navigation drawer in case of emergency
So....
Do you know that Honor play already has gesture navigations?
Patch 140.
there is no gesture for previous app..
and back gesture is too difficult. So sticking to this app

Better if you use
Swipeup utility and change the default swipe to open Google now to recent apps..
honor play has gesture already
Stock gestures are perfect.

Pie controls

Okay so I was very afraid of having a larger screened phone because I truly don't like to use two hands with my phone 90% of the time. So I've been using pie controls for years and I have to say I've really really found that using them has made my 7pro AMAZING but large screen much easier to use for switching apps or toggling wifi/data or any other settings. Truly I know it's like Samsung edge drawer or whatever it's called but honestly it's better. Instant access to atleast 20 apps without having to go back to home screen than back to the app drawer or folder and select the app. IMO one of the best "mods" or apps for a larger phone with so much ram for multitasking. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jun.ace.piecontrol
I was using Pie control for a long time and finally switched to this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivianuu.pie
looks much nicer and has many options

swipe right on the notification, tap on the cogwheel and disable notifications for the app
Do any of you have following problem with pie control : in full screen apps like camera, video, even picture or games I cannot see pie when I swipe, I feel it vibrates no I cannot see it and what it's the worst part if I'm in camera for example and "blindly" (as I cannot see it) use for example back function it works but then app I non responsive (it works but doesn't see my touches) and I need to "blindly" use pie control to switch to home/other app and go back. Then it works again until I use pie control again, it it annoying... It only behaves like that if I have navigation gestures activated (to hide the navbar), wieh navbar on it works ok but the whole point is to not have it and use full screen experience...

Yeah I had this problem with app from the first post, just tested the one from your link and so far it works fine in all apps
Ya'll should try Leedroid's Shortcutter, been using since first initial release. App drawer(you select) can open from the right left and now from bottom.

Been using this apk since nexus 6p. It's absolutely amazing.
On Samsung this what I use. It blows Edge away.
Uses almost no battery, freeware, no ads or crap.

Use your device easily with only one hand !

Unfortunately the awesome aspects of that where it users no battery and all that jazz is because it is built into your OS. There are a few mod apps like that in the "Good Lock" family that actually are pretty nice on Samsung. They do us no good over here though.

Edge* isn't that awesome and definitely uses more battery than One Handed Operation plus**, however the latter may be compatible only with Samsung phones.
One of the biggest reasons to choose Samsung is it's none root customization. The best ones come from the Galaxy Store. Hundreds of free themes, icon packs, AODs, and much more.
No other brand comes close.
*I use it for cut/paste management only. Other apps like One Handed Operation plus is superior in every way to Egde.
**not a native apk but one of the best 3rd party apks for the 10+ Rock solid stable.

Back gesture customizer

Since I upgraded to android 10 I have the new gestures, but the back gesture is really bothering me. Is there any way to customize the back action trigger zone in order to make it smaller?

I wish. I spent a decent amount of time looking. There isn't yet.
Just using the P style gestures for now. They are better than being wholly unable to open side drawers.
There is not currently, but there is an app called Fluid Navigation Gestures that does this. It's basically a customizable version of the current navigation gestures. Not sure how well it works on Q but I used to have it on my OP6t and it worked great.
Edge gestures. I am not ot using the back gestures on Android 10 and using this one. Customizable. Used fluid navigation gestures as well. Won't go wrong with either.
