I am considering a Oneplus 6 but I do not want to give up swipe right for Google feed.
I know I can use Nova and Nova companion to enable this, but does that limit me to using buttons for navigation? I like the way gesture nav on the OP6 looks in demos and the way it frees up screen real-estate.
Navigation preference is not tied to launcher.
Don't give them any ideas, though.
I use Nova with the new OP gestures and without buttons.

So do I.
Nova Launcher's ability to define its own gestures (working in addition to the OP6 gestures) can solve a few little problems. For example, I've defined a gesture to call the Google Assistant.

However the animation looks a bit weird to me when you use gestures on any launcher other than stock.

Weird? Do you have any videos or screen recordings to support this claim? Because I, for one, haven't noticed anything of this sort.

Same on AL3, it looks like app fades out two times and launcher loads from scratch

I tried searching for this and didn't find it, and I'm really curious about it.
Is it possible for the swipe left to google now (which looks incredibly smooth in the KitKat videos) to be implemented into launchers such as nova and apex? Or is that going to be a stock launcher only thing?
Just to clarify, I'm asking if a future version of Nova/apex will be able to copycat this design, not just implement another gesture that opens the google now app. The beauty of these launchers now is that they appear very similar to aosp, but they have many more features. Will that no longer be possible after this change?
Nova (paid) already has gestures that you can set to launch any app. There are 9 gestures although swipe left isn't one of them - not that it matters

Right, I guess that is one option, but it is more jarring to switch to a totally different app than the swipe gesture that it looks like KItKat has. That seem so fluid, almost like it's just another home screen.

From what I was reading, I believe that in 4.4 it actually IS another screen. I mean it's not just that the app is hidden in the background and uncovered by a gesture, it is an option to have google now to take up a page in the layout.

Nova right now cant do anything like the google launcher for kk. When you swipe right there is an actual google now home page.

It sure is first you've got too activate Google now its in the Google search settings somewhere

i really hope that nova will implement this and all the other cool stuff from the new kk launcher... something like a more customizable stock launcher
The google launcher is basically an extension of the Google search app. Kind of like Facebook home. I doubt nova will be able to integrate this unless the build it themselves into nova. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013...e-kitkats-primary-interface-is-google-search/

I suppose an app like GMD gestures could help you achieve the same effect

I think it would be cool if you can swipe left to any app of your choice, even if the app has to go on pause.

Remove what? The launcher? You can just install Apex launcher and use that instead if you wanted. If you really wanted to remove it you will need to uninstall it through titanium backup, but I wouldn't recommend that.

Anyone onow a way to use the fingerprint gesture to pull down the notification shade like in the pixel and the s8???? I tried some apps but they usually dnt wrk.... Is it a hardware limitation on the n5 that it might not b possible??? I tried fingerprint quick action when it was in the beta stage and it wrked great, but once it hit the playstore it stopped responding like b4....
Any one know a way?
Hardware limitation I think..
you can use a launcher called: Nova Launcher
but u need to buy the premium version.
to be more specific, it will not act the same way you are asking, in the premium features you have on screen swipe gesture where you can assign the swipe down gesture to show the notifications.
I'm using this method and it is really nice.

Just installed the new P release and after switching to Nova launcher notice that the new recent management feature is not there. Odd. Is there a way to add the new style to Nova or do we have to wait for developer to do so?

Do not disable the OOS launcher
I tried that but then it shows both recents app managers....
So, freezing the OP launcher brings back the previous Oreo style recent apps view... trying... it does [emoji2]
Not sure what the fascination with Nova is. Lawnchair, Action Launcher & the OnePlus launcher are all as good or better if you're looking for an AOSP feel.
Personally I just use the OnePlus launcher, and sometimes Lawnchair.
Well, that's why there are many launchers... one uses the one with the features one wants and needs.. Nova does a great job for me.

The customisation in Nova Launcher, gestures, swipe etc is not fully present in the other launchers you mention, and as for ASOP "feel" you can make Nove look however you like.
New gesture aminations its feels phone is slow like syrup. I hope it can be turned off soon
Even worse if you use rootless luncher
Works quite well for me. The animation is just as fast, its just different, some people will like it, some wont. But personally, i think, with a little tweaking in further updates, the animation will look very good. They're trying to mimics the iphone app closing animation i think.
No prob here... Using stock launcher really smooth animations... updated from stable...
I'm fine with the animations except the super slow (maybe twice as slow?) home gesture animation... Any idea how to disable or change it? I know I can turn off animations under accessibility options... But I just want the home swipe to be immediate not change everything else.

On third party launchers its bugged as hell. Phone feels cheap and laggy
Is there a way to have the old ones? These are longer and more similar to the iOS ones, what a useless change...

Oh it does, if you install OnePlus launcher 2.5 you will get oreo recents... If you uninstall completely OnePlus launcher you will lose your multitasking screen lol
When i was on ob5 i installed the new OnePlus launcher and i got the new gesture, so yes, it may work

You could also freeze the OnePlus Launcher if your using a different one. That will give you the Oreo recents.

This worked before the new gesture is implemented. Now if you freeze the OP Launcher, the Oreo recents will only show when you use navigation bar. The gesture will do nothing when you try to swipe "home"..
I like the stock OnePlus launcher but looking for suggestions for other launchers. I'm not crazy about the OnePlus Shelf and miss my Google feed on the side (though other suggestions are ok too).
install pixel launcher if you want the google feed on the left back
You can also installed Nova launcher with Nova companion to get the Google feed on the side.
Hyperion Launcher seems to work well
Lawnchair V2, basically a port of the pixel launcher with a ton of features.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/deletescape/lawnchair/
Nova launcher with google companion!
Nova, it's the only option. It does and had everything.
Nova Prime...
ADW. I switched to this from Nova years ago and will never go back.
Nova FTW
Nova is and has been the best for years...just get it and support it with Nova prime.
If you want simplicity and awesome performance, get the previously mentioned Lawnchair v2 from APK Mirror. If you want features, you can't beat Nova. I switch between them often.
I love Action Launcher too, my only issue is that it lost some of its uniqueness as it's matured but it has some cool features. I also really respect the dev.
I am using CPL (custom pixel launcher). Nova launcher > Eevie > then this and stuck with it, pretty happy with the minimalist look. Has enough things to tweak I still haven't tried everything
