I noticed the OxygenOS doesn't have the option to add more nav bar buttons like the G7 had one to pull down the notifications area, it's very useful for phones this large. Any way to get this on the OP7 Pro?
Maybe you already know, but just in case you don't.
While using default OP launcher, you can swipe down on home screen to pull down notification panel.

Yeah, that works great on the home screen, unfortunately it doesn't work anywhere else like the button did. Having that button makes the phone much easier to one hand.

That's the curse of the in-display FPR. I thought about that when the 6T came out. No navigation remap as yet.

I think I know the answer....but I am hoping someone knows if there is a way to turn this off. It's so big. Hate it. As far as I can tell...its not optional.

Nope, can't turn it off.
not yet, give it time for the framework to be ripped apart. root and s-off have just arrived, patience
Agreed that it's a bit large, but I actually like the feature.
My biggest complaint with the TB (other than TFT vs SAMOLED screen) is the placement/arrangement of the capacitive menu buttons at the bottom of the screen. I don't have tiny hands, but they're not particular big either, so the size of the phone and the placement of the Home button make it just about impossible for me to use the phone with just one hand like I do my 4" phones. My thumb just can't reach the Home button when holding it in my right hand without risking dropping it, so it's difficult to do the long press to get the recent apps screen up. I can comfortably drop the shade and select from there, though, so I like it. Obviously a YMMV thing, and accessing the Home screens still takes two hands for me.
yeah, the recently used apps in the notification bar was poorly thought out. It's redundant as holding the home button does the same thing and isn't needed. If they were going to put anything up there, it should've been the quick toggles like the Galaxy S line of devices.
Yes...I also miss the quick toggle from Cyan....I still find myself pulling down the shade only to realize its not there.
And I miss being able to dismiss notification with a sideways swipe.....A LOT!

Check out Widgetsoid. It does what you want but takes a bit of setup
Couldn't you just use a different launcher like ADW? Or is it built into the framework? If so, what a turn off.
When I had my LG G2 some time ago, I was able to customize the buttons on my dock. I was able to have a back, home, sadly no multitask button, but there was an option to have a button that would drop the notification bar.
I've been looking for an app, or solution since the Z5 is on the big side. I went through all the phones settings, but couldn't find the option. Anyone know of an app that may offer this functionality? I'm searching, but haven't found anything. I did find an app, but I'd rather a button added to my button dock that's always available.
Thanks
you would need root to do so.
Damn, is there any non root solution? Don't want to void warranty less than a week after buying it lol

you can install another launcher like nova launcher. There you can do everything. E.g. expand notification bar on swipe down or create shortcuts to open the bar...

Awesome, thanks for this. I already use nova launcher so looked through the settings. The best option I found was pressing the home button while already on the home screen and it'll drop the notification bar. Not exactly what I want, but gets the job done. The ideal solution would be to have a fourth, dedicated button beside the multitasking button that dropped the notification bar without having to be on the home screen. Just like the keyboard icon in the bottom right when a keyboard is open.
The G2 did this perfectly with the built in options. Wish about offered this on the stock Rom. Thanks for the tip GZA, at least I can do this from the home screen now.

Er, that's how Android has worked since at least Jellybean 4.1 (first Android version I ever had). Start with your finger just above the top of the screen and swipe down.

In Nova settings you find gestures and input. There is swipe down option. You can add expand notification there... But this feature could be in paid version only. Not sure...

Er that's how Android has always worked, and not what my question is. I'm looking for a solution to drop it without doing that as this phone is too tall.
These are not working for me. Are they working for you? What am I doing wrong?
"Swipe up to return to home screen"
"Swipe and hold to access recent apps"
"Swipe up from the left or right side to go back"
They work perfectly for me.
EDIT: It's important that you swipe up from the buttom.

Amen ??
these gestures totally rock
They work phenomenally. I cannot go back to soft keys.
Try work flawlessly but I went back to softkeys due to the lack of a gesture for quickly switching between the last used apps. If OP only added some additional (configurable) gestures it would be perfect.

I like them but wish there is more customisation, like the Oneplus gestures app where you can swipe up and hold on the left and right swipes.
Absolutely fantastic, love them
Agree with all posters: Had to learn to love it, but after a short time of using them, I really don't need any keys anymore. This is something, I never thought I'll ever get used to it. And today, I couldn't be any happier for this feature .
The trick is to swipe slowly from the bottom and pause to get all apps in memory. It took me a while to get that one down.
One of the best things about the OP6 is that big screen and you're not getting the best out of it if you're not using gestures. I'm not sure I can go back to buttons after using gestures.
1 of the best feature in OP6
I have been using a iphone x for work, which obviously has gestures, and this is just great for Android, and Oneplus. Works like a champ. Between that and the silk white, I have a new favorite phone.

You do have them on right? Are your buttons hidden or showing?
I'm totally addicted to the navigation gestures, I just hope One Plus will not give up completely this feature for the new one that will be included in the Android P
Never going back to buttons...
Gestures are really good and work as explained. The best part is due to the gestures you can get the max screen to be used.

I didnt have them on. They are on now. The only thing I dont like is I cant turn off the screen by double tapping the home button(I set it up that way) which arent there anymore. How do you guys turn off the screen with a short cut now?
As most new users. I keep hitting the home button. I'm using SwiftKey. I tried the other two keyboard too.
I've tried turning on auto hide nav bar - but the keyboard is the only app that DOESN'T work with it.
I thought I could just disable one click home... No such option.
Installed gravity box - also no option.
Even if i could just move home left or right 1cm of be happy.
Any help you can offer is appreciated.
Edit :spelling
I have this problem too... Caused from writing too fast :laugh::laugh:

TBH, I used to be like that too. Had even slaved multiple functions to long presses of the Nav bar buttons. I was a hardcore NavBar-ist
Then I switched to gestures, and after swearing loudly - multiple times + continuously - while acclimatising to the entire idea, now that I'm used to it I really can't think of using any phones with Nav Bars any more.
Plus you get the bonus of NEVER getting NavBar Burn-In.
(And, TBH, I'm actually finding that the OP6 way of doing it a bit more intuitive then the Pie "pill" gestures, but eyyy that's probably just me)
ROOT option
ROOT - exposed - and "Custom Navigation Bar" module. which will let you do what ever the **** you want with navbar, including layout of buttons, and their possition
This might sound like a stupid question but it's something that I never gave it too much thought with my previous phones as it was simply power+ down volume button and that's it but it just doesn't work with my N20U, I also tried the gesture one and it also doesn't work, what am I doing wrong and how to fix it without resetting the settings?
Volume down and the power button works perfectly on mine. You have to push and release pretty fash and it pops up. Keep in mind that you can also use the spen to take a screen shot/screen write, wave the pen in a zig zag or even use smart select if you don't want to capture the whole screen. For the palm swipe you do have to turn that on if you haven't done that already. It's under "advanced features" and then "screenshot and screen recorder. " I hope that helps and give you several options!
Oh and palm swipe is under motion and gestures.
The easiest is to download Good Lock and use NavStar to add a screen shot button to your navigation bar.
take your s-pen out and click screen write.

Wouldn't know. Not an issue for me. I also have the power button on the navigation bar and haven't accidentally turned off my phone either. Like everything, to each their own.
I just use palm swipe to take screenshots, just run the edge / base of your palm across the screen.
Yes I swipe palm from left side of screen to right side
Is the easiest

Not really the easiest way when it requires one to have a nav bar.
So simple on chinese phones but number one manufacturers still struggling.
They should think of knock knock knuckle or 3 finger swipe.

Yeah I wouldn't say it's 1%, for one making up statistics on the internet is a bit childish.
Two, one can achieve 6 different tasks from the edge of either side of the screen without torturing themselves with a cluttered ugly (in my opinion) asymmetrical nav bar.
Samsung/Android 10 gestures with One Hand Op+ means you sacrifice zero screen space while being able to back, recents, and home from any angle.
Heck. From one side of my phone I can go back (horizontal short swipe), home (diagonal down shirt swipe), and recents (diagonal up short) from both sides of the device. I can jump to my last app with a horizontal long swipe, and that still leaves me two more gestures to customize. Four of you count both sides of the screen.
How does this benefit op, well they can use one hand op to assign screen shots to a long gesture. I mean who is rebooting and screenshotting that much that they need a dedicated button at the bottom of the screen. Nevermind literally having a power button in the notification pull down, seems like a pretty inefficient use of space on such a gorgeous screen.

You are right, it's definitely less than 1% of phone users that turn off the nav bar. I shouldn't have rounded up.
There are tons of options for screen shots so attacking an on screen button in order to justify your preference says a lot.
The power button on the nav bar doesn't reboot. It's a software button to turn off the screen instead of hitting the hardware power button.
Hitting a button works 100% of the time. No gesture works 100% of the time.
Anyway, you clearly have a your way or no way mentality so I'm out on this conversation.
Hopefully OP finds one of many options for screen shots that works.

My gestures work every time. You can adjust the length and sensitivity to your individual liking. Again while having the whole screen for an immersive viewing experience.
No one is attacking anything. It's a permanent button for a temporary problem. But hey Android is about choice.
But I mean if someone needs to black out the screen. Seems one hand op has a gesture for that. Crazy the flexibility of Android.
