Hi
I'm loving the Evolution X rom and I really like the Pixel experience this gives me on my Oneplus 6T. I like the app animations with the pixel launcher / recents.
However the back gesture on Android 10 is awful. It is really unreliable whether it actually goe back, or opens thehamburgere menu or swipes something on screen. I've tried changing all the options in the ROM and it is just bordering on unusuable. The OnePLus gestures were much better.
I tried Fluid Navigation Gestures, but this fully replaces the Android 10 gesture system compeltely and means you lose the smooth app closing animation and the app switching animations.
So here's my question: Is there a way I can just add some additional gesture areas without switching the entire gesture system? So basically leave the regular gesture system in place, but just add a couple of 'swipe up to go back' areas like Oneplus?

Well, I don't know about you guys, but one of the things I LOVE about a modded ROM is dropdown toggles. There is nothing I hate more than having to search through menus to turn wifi/bluetooth on and off. Dropdowns are very convenient, but the dropdowns that are available in the play store clutter up my pulldown screen and I get annoyed with the "ongoing" message.
Well, until we get dropdowns on a modded ROM I have found an alternative for myself that I thought I would share.
Apex launcher (see my OP on apex for links) has a scrolling dock bar and actually allows you to put 1x1 widgets in the dock bar for use (if you have the pro version)! Very convenient.
Toggle Widgets Pack ha all of the widgets that we normally use, and all are 1x1. It even has a reboot widget for Root users! However the GPS toggle just takes you to the GPS menu which is frustrating.
But I found this GPS toggle with a Root exploit that allows it to be used as a toggle like we are used to.
Now while they are not that pretty, they are extremely handy. Which is what I look for! :good:

I've not been active on these forums for a while, but I'm working on a mini graphics project, with mock up designs of what I would like from Android 5.0. Feel free to discuss below opinions on what I've done. This post will be updated over the next week or two as more designs are completed.
1. Redesigned Lock screen
I'm not really a massive fan of the current lock screen and annoyingly I like how the iOS lock screen is, with notification sliders on the lock screen, it makes it easier to get straight into replying to a text. Below is a mockup of what I mean.

2. Completely Redesigned Launcher
I found myself getting bored with the current launcher and want to see something different in the next android, something innovative. I've recently started using Smart Launcher, and I just love the simplicity of it, and would love to see google build their stock launcher around a similar layout.
---Images coming soon----
Will update next additions after I have created the next graphic
If you're anything like me you have a nasty habit of reading on your phone before bed in the dark. Even at its lowest setting this phone is still very bright stock. I went through several screen dimming apps and all of them required me to open an app and put a persistent notification on my status bar/notification bar.
I stumbled upon nougat/Oreo quick settings (free in the play store) and it offers a full suite of goodies, some require root but most don't. One of the best is the night mode. It's a simple toggle like WiFi, Bluetooth, ect and dims the screen perfectly for night time reading.
I'm sure this feature will be implemented in custom ROMs but as the phone currently stands this is a must have app for me.

Pretty cool toggle, it would be awesome if it toggled the native Motorola night mode with the color filter, rather than just lowering the overall screen brightness.
Better than nothing, thanks
It's now three days since my lockscreen displays a warning "Warnung vor Sturmböen - Deutscher Wetterdienst" ("Attention: squalls - German meteorological service"). It's displayed on lockscreen and on AlwaysOn Display, but not in the notification drawer.
I have no weather app installed, no disaster app installed, must be coming from system.
Deactivating notifications on lockscreen doesn't help, disaster warning in settings is disabled, emergency notifications are disabled as well.
What may be causing this messages and how can I get rid off it? Best thing is, there aren't any squalls - there isn't any breath of wind since days.
This warnings are displayed on my Pixel 3a XL with Android 10 and on my girlfriends Pixel 3a with Android 11.

Found it.
Fortuitously there just was an article in googlewatchblog.de about a new "feature" in Pixel Launcher.
I'm not using Pixel Launcher, but it's causing this issue. The setting to get rid off it is not easy to find and not obvious:
Settings > Apps Pixel Launcher > Additional Settings (at the bottom)
Then "Overview (at top of the startscreen)" (...wtf?!?!?) - there are these weather warnings.
How goony's that...?!
rom wishlist:
- active-edge squeeze support and customization (open any app)
- status bar slide gesture to control brightness
- nav-bar button customizations/gestures
(long press back to kill app; double-tap home to open app; long-press home to clear all notifications)
- changing the number of rows/columns in the quick-setting tiles
- battery level bar across statusbar
- pure AMOLED black theme
This is what I want for Christmas. It's the birthday of Jesus. C'mon!
i think you are asking in the wrong spot. its best to find a rom you like or has some of those features and then ask the developers to add them. As a maintainer we dont really add features unless they are already baked in. (unless its unofficial). But as i just broke my oneplus 7 pro and im back on my sargo, i am intrested to see what roms are wished for since ill be doing a bring up for sargo now
