Hi,
Can someone help me with gesture support for recent apps switch like the one in android one on miA1 where double tap on recent can automatically switch to previous app?
With gestures enabled, swipe up from middle, then hold.
This toggles all open apps, then u pick the one u want
A direct gesture for the previous app does not exist, only via the app list as described in the previous post.

Looking for a screenshot app that has no UI. I had one before, but can't recall the name. Long story short, my bf has a phone with a wonky home button (Samsung) and the native screenshot method won't work. I want to use such an app as a trigger paired with either Tasker or Xposed Additions, to map 'launching' the app to a long-press of one of his nav buttons, thus taking a screenshot through long-press of a single button. My ROM allows a screenshot option in the notification panel, but his ROM (Optimized CM12.1) doesn't have this, and aside from this small missing feature the ROM is fantastic. He also doesn't want to use gestures as a trigger. GravityBox breaks touchscreen functionality, so that is also out of the question. The app I used before did not create a notification icon, so this would be great if a similar app exists or if you know the name of what I used. Any suggestions?
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.

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.

it does but stops working after a while and also I do miss the option for: menu, in app search, force close active app
so not the way for me
Am I the only one that miss double tapping of recent apps button to switch to previous app?
There is a way to remap your navigation buttons to do whatever you want them to do. Just search for those applications in the Play Store and you will find tons of them.
As you may know, the Good Lock labs One Hand Operation+ allows user defined gestures to do all kinds of things, ie. Shortcuts
As I use Firefox on the phone by default, would anyone know if there is a key-combination or other method to use OHO+ Gesture to open a new tab in Firefox?
You could try with Bixby Routine + touch macro maybe. Then attach it to a button action

Use Activity Launcher to create a shortcut for opening a new rab (unfortunately I don't use Firefox so can't say which is that one, you just need to search through the available Activities). Use OHO+ to launch that shortcut.
You could also use OHO+ for opening Firefox (open app), isn't that enough?
The solution was "Home Screen Shortcuts" and one of these is Firefox:New Tab
