Tweak navigation gestures - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

I been using MIUI 10 for a month or two and I really enjoy their gestures more than the OxygenOS gestures. Is there some way, root or not that I can tweak the OxygenOS gestures or are they hardcoded beyond third party developers reach?
For those unfamiliar to MIUI and OOS gestures, on MIUI back is done by swiping from the left or the right edge towards the center of the screen while in OOS it's done by swiping up from the bottom on the left or right side of the screen. For me this feels unnatural in how I need to grip the phone.

Thanks, I will look into that way of doing it. Will keep looking into how the gestures are defined also.

Why people disable NavBar?

Any reasons why people use mods/hacks to disable the navbar permanently? Samsung offers the option to do so, but why u have to disable it permanently?
Gestures navigation is not that smooth & u have to use an app.
Is there any benefits or something I'm missing?

I do it so I dont have to look at it
Its always white when i want it black and black when I want it white
Lol That's pretty funny tbh:laugh:
You have this big beautiful touch screen, why do I want to take up space on the screen (or have it appear/disappear) every time I want to navigate or go to the home screen? I use Gesture Control so that I just have to swipe left/right/up at the bottom and never have to see it...
Looks better and is really cool to have the whole screen.... navigation gestures works pretty well.
It's quite simple really, you get more screen real estate and you don't need to look at the ugly navbar.

I used to use plasmalite and it was awesome, unfortunately stopped working well under Oreo and it never got updated. Now I use XDA gestures, which is pretty OK, in some aspects better than plasmalite.

Xda gestures works great especially the split pill giving additional swipes. I have some very minor delays with it though, but I can live with it. OnePlus gestures is the best so far, but it's paid.
I tried out XDA's Navigation Gestures (paid version) but find Samsung's One Hand Operation+ more enjoyable.
From the edge screen I simply swipe left to go back, to open recents I swipe up diagonally from the same place and to go home I just press the home button.

Many thanks! I find it smoother than xda gestures, but it doesn't work in landscape mode & immersive games

MIUI 10 like Navigation Gesture For Custom Roms

After switching to mokee rom from miui 10 only thing I missed was the navigation gesture. I think it is one oft the most beautiful implementation among all. So I was looking for third party apps to mimic miui gestures. So far I have found these to be parfect. I am using the first one right now...

There are apps that will allow you to customize this behavior extensively. I've been using OnePlus Gestures. It's in the Play Store and not a OnePlus product. It's outstanding, gives you the ability to set gestures in lots of different ways (swiping up, left, right, up and hold, etc., though it seems to "phone home" a lot. There are others, too. Fluid Gestures does what you want, but not as much overall as OnePlus Gestures. And maybe some of the ROMs will give you this functionality if you're rooted and want to go down that road.
mmm ok thanks alot…
this app didnt helped me much.
and no, i dont want to go down this rooted road ;D
i thought it will be simple…

I see. Is that Navigation Gestures you're using? I'd been using that some before switching to OnePlus Gestures. I don't have it installed anymore, so I can't check the settings for it, if that's what you're using.

I think he's just using the Pie gestures. Sadly yes, switching button placement doesn't switch the recent apps orientation too.

Hiding navigation bar possible on Android 11?

Hello. I was wondering if there is a way to hide three button navigation bar on my 8t to use a third party gesture app.
I have root and i did try Magisk Hide Props config method by changing qemu.hw.mainkeys from 0 to 1, but nothing changed. Even after reboot the value stayed at 1, but still have the nav bar..
As far as I know, they changed something in android 11 which makes that impossible.
I tried the same with fluid n.g but it did not work
There a way to do it with adb. Haven't tested on 11 yet

yeah they removed that ability in Android 11

Yes even the qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 mod on the build.prop doesn't work on OnePlus 8T, I have no idea why. I used MagiskHide Props module.

Theoretically root (above method) should work, it works on Pixel phones, but currently still not working on OnePlus 8T.
Don't see the problem why they removed that feature. I would gladly use the gestures on Oneplus, but the problem is that it's blocking some features on different apps where I have to press something down in the corners. I think it's because of the google assistant feature.
Why not use the stock gestures?

This doesn't mean "removing" the navbar, what you shown is changing the navigation more from navbar to navigation gestures. What people are talking here is to remove the navbar while in navbar mode, so that they can use third party navigation gestures app.
If you ask why, they (and myself too) doesn't like OnePlus' navigation gestures for certain reasons. Personally, I much prefer the old OnePlus 6 style which is swipe up from bottom left/right for "back" action.

Aka android 9 version. Android 9 also had the two button gesture option. Android 10 introduced this version of it and has been further optimized in Android 11.
Of course this is all stock android versions. Some OEM's modified it like samsung for example. Oneplus isn't responsible for this style as its stock android gesture nav. Maybe in the future oneplus will make there own but there goal is to make OOS as close to aosp as possible while still adding some built-in customization.

Yeah I don't blame OnePlus for this, and it is Google that removed android's ADB overscan feature to hide navigation bar as well. I just hoped that the root method works in OnePlus (the build.prop edit) because it works well on Pixel phones.
I am using Oneplus's gestures + Fullscreen/Immersive Gestures Magisk module, this gives me almost truly fullscreen experience. I hated the arrow key on the bottom left of the keyboard. So this solves the problem for me. Just thought I'd pitch in.

Even though u remove the bottom bar, some apps still consider the empty space there. Check keyboard for example. There is some space and a useless hide arrow on bottom left. I believe OP is looking for a solution to remove that as well(which older versions used to support using overscan). I was looking for a solution to this as well.

You still don't understand, we don't only want to hide that bar, we also want to totally disable the stock gesture so that we can REPLACE with other third party gesture app. On Android 11 the method is to use the 3-button navigation bar AND disable it, so that we can use another third party gesture like Fluid Navigation without the stock one interfering.
If you still don't understand please do not insist you do.
The only person who doesn't understand is you.

Question How to swap navbar buttons via Magisk or any other way

Longtime xda user but have been out of the modding scene for many many years now, so forgive me if my question is stupid. Just got the P7P and put magisk etc on it. I don't like gesture navigation, and I am surprised that google doesn't allow nav bar button customization, which is something that has existed on various android implementations for as long as android has been around. Is there a magisk module that can do this on the latest 12/22 firmware? All google search results return with very old posts, and at this time I don't know how to recover from a bootloop if I do take a chance on flashing something.
Something that I had personally suggest is the Navigation Bar (9.0 +) module for Magisk, you can find it on Github.
Here's a link: Navigation Bar (9.0+)
There are many more methods but you can mention me anytime if this doesn't works.

Check out AOSP mod. It allows configuration for the nav buttons. It is a good replacement for Gravitybox.
After years of 3 button nav, I switched to gestures. It took a few days to get used to it. Now it is built into my flabby muscle memory.

Using Gestures, love it. Was a hardcore Navbar user.
Don't seem to have any issue with gestures and side panels.
Any specific app you are referring to?
I am using viber, skytube, k-9 mail, nextcloud, Mixplorer. Just to mention a few where I constantly use side panels and weird stuff happens when trying to open it due to the functional overlap

Thought this module would allow me to customize the navigation bar. Like change the navigation bar icons to look like Samsung or Xperia or Nexus. Was i wrong ? Is there a more suitable module for this ?
