My setup:
4.4.4 GPE ROM
Nova launcher
Motion Launch disabled in general ROM settings
LMT with Pie controls as the only active feature
GravityBox configured to disable the navigation bar
Kernel Manager configured with Swipe2Wake disabled
My Issue:
When I swipe left along the bottom of the screen it puts the phone to sleep.
This wouldn't be to much of an issue but since my Nova dock now sits at the bottom of the screen since the nav buttons are disabled I'm accidentally putting it to sleep while swiping thru my docks.
Am I missing a setting somewhere that is keeping this swipe to sleep functionality enabled? Is there another app I can install to disable this swipe2sleep feature perhaps?
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I'm using Clean ROM when Sweep2Sleep and I haven't found a way to disable it. However, I like having it, but in your situation, I can see why you would want to turn it off. My motion gestures are also turned off, I'm pretty S2S isn't tied into those.

Figured it out.. found the answer buried on page 241 of the ROM thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54199293&highlight=sweep#post54199293)
Just had to modify the Sweep2sleep section in the init.d file as it was set to 2 by default. uncommented it to 0 and it's now disabled.
Was there any real reason to add this feature? Does it actually serve any sort of function?
It brings up Google assistant on my phone.
I use it to wake my phone when it is in my desk and just put in the pin if I just want to check a notification real quick without picking up the phone.

It's so you don't mistakenly wake the phone. But playing around with the display I can't decide if the entire display is pressure sensitive, or it just takes you longer to push hard. But it seems if you push hard on the icons the long press context menu pops up (no tactile feedback).
I changed the sensitivity to the most sensitive in the settings, it doesn't really add any feature but it makes pressing the home button feel a little bit nicer.

you can find it in the settings where you can change the navigation bar around, just a few options below it.
Home Button
It was originally where the fingerprint scanner was suppose to be.

Hello guys,
is there a another way to lock our S8's instead of using the power button with gestures or apps?
I'll tried several apps like double tap to lock, but these kind of apps blocked the face unlock an fingerprint scanner.
It would be cool, if we could lock it with a hard press on the homebutton or long hold on the finger scanner!
Have a good one
Nova launcher, and Apex both have tap to lock and they don't mess with the fingerprint. Theres also an app I used a lot but idk if it will mess with the fingerprint. Invisible lock wigget

All in One Gestures lets you lock the screen with taps to the status bar or navigation bar. I have mine set so that a double-tap to the left end of the navigation bar locks the phone.
The only downside is that third-party locking solutions make the phone lock fully, so your PIN/password is required to unlock it. You can't use your fingerprint or the iris scanner to unlock it again until your PIN/password has been entered.
Yep when enabled in nova you get 2 options.

Hopefully Essential takes some user feedback as far as features we would like to see going forward. If you post please try to keep it to reasonable features that mostly stock devices have or non os software tweaks.
The two big ones for me are
1. Night mode
2. Fingerprint shortcuts, primarily for notifications

+1
Damn just checked and realized no night mode since got the phone just today.
+1 on night mode, that thing is must have at system level. Don't want to go back to using apps like twilight etc
My needs are simple. Would like the option to rearrange navigation buttons, battery percentage, and finger print gestures.

Has anyone tried enabling night mode by enabling the UI tuner?. night mode is built into nougat but on some phones still has to be turned on. I don't have the phone yet to do it. Pull down the notification shade twice and then long press the settings cog icon. A wrench will show up next to the icon indicating that UI tuner has been enabled. Next install "night mode enabler" from the play store.
Unlocked bootloader, TWRP and root. Hopefully. ? - Not sure any devs are on board with this device.
I haven't received the phone yet, but does it support gestures while the screen is off? Such as double tap to wake, swipe up to unlock, etc.
Night mode is nice. I also like to separate ring volume from notification volume. I know that's not native to Android, but a simple mod makes all the difference for me.

Night mode for sure. Second would be system level to force apps to use the full screen, like what Samsung has for the s8+

Yep.
I'm waiting for TWRP.
For root, I plan to use Magisk to root and hide BL status. Since it's mostly ASOP, it should work like the Nexus 6P I have.
First off +1 to both, I really don't want to use the app that allows finger gestures, was a little sad to see it not available in stock Android since I got used to using it on the Pixel XL.

Just tried it and it isn't there sadly. Just like the fingerprint gestures I don't want to have to add it through an app.
On the flip side I got exactly what I deserved/wanted. Nothing but pure Android (minus the Essential Cam app and the Essential option in the settings) so that was good but in a way I want to kick myself because I forgot that these two features were add ons to the skin for the Pixel devices. Whatever the case maybe, I'll get over it lol.
ability to change navigation buttons

Hopefully those features, switching navigation buttons and more will come to the table once we get the bootloader unlocked and the possibility of custom ROM's/mods. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Use this to change nav bar.
For battery percentage just enable the UI tuner
1. Changing audio track with volume buttons when screen is off.
2. Resizing nav bar height
3. Double tap to wake
I second the fingerprint gestures and double tap to wake wholeheartedly.
Would also love to see these:
1. Ability to use Light Flow or another LED manager to customize notification LEDs. This is my favorite thing about Android phones and Essential's stock LED patterns aren't cutting it for me. Somehow they managed to make it impossible for the LED to flash more than once every 5 seconds.
2. Ability to use 360 camera attachment as a fisheye lens. Currently the camera stitches two 210 images together to form a 360 photo. I want to be able to choose just one lens to capture an image.

The battery percentage option is in the system ui tuner I believe. Pull down the notification shade and long press on the settings icon then go into settings and look for it.
ability to change navbar height. it's too big uses unnecessary screen estate
There are several Improvements I would like to see in the phones software. More so just general optimization. However I think that most of these answers of what features are coming will be answered in Thursday's Q&A session with Andy Rubin on Reddit. So I guess we should wait until then to see where Essential and the ph1 is headed.
Guys Is there any way to add input and media cursor shortcut In OP6 navbar? As we can enable this feature in almost every custom rom out there.
Also is there any simple way to take Scrnshot instead of 3 finger method.
Your help is really appreciated...
Maybe try installing the app OnePlus Gestures.
That's what I did and I mapped a touch gesture to take a screenshot. Works just fine for me.

I used Fingerprint Quick action app to solve ScrnSht issue but still not found any solution to modify navbar.
CUSTOM NAVIGATION BAR is not working in OOS.
