Revamped with Full screen gestures, MIUI 12 tries to make Recents screen more handy. Now with Mi Note 10 in hand, I’ll share with you some of its usability.
Tap or swipe to open Recents screen
MIUI 12 supports 2 ways of system navigation, namely, Buttons mode and Full screen gestures mode.
Visit “Additional settings” > “Full screen display”, and the user can choose his or her preferable way to open Recents screen. Under Button mode, the user can tap the square button on the bottom of the screen to open the recent apps overview.
While under Full screen gestures mode, Recents screen will be open by swiping from the bottom. If you feel the full screen indicator irritating, you can also choose to hide it.

}
Go to Manage apps through Recents screen
Recents screen in MIUI also provides a shortcut to Cleaner, Security scan, Deep clean and Manage apps. Tap to enter Manage apps, and you’ll have a clear view about how many apps you have on your phone. You can also uninstall apps or enable dual apps in bulk.
Widgets of Recents screen
Long press the app window in Recents screen, and you will find 4 widgets come out. From top to bottom, I’ll walk you through the four options.
The first option can be used to lock important apps so that they remain open even when you tap the “Clear all apps” button.
The second is for splitting screen, serving your multitasking needs.
With the third option, you can enable the floating window of the current app, a more flexible way to multitask.
The last option can be used to open App info, which is useful when you wish to change app permissions, app notifications, and app data usage directly here.

FAQ
Why I cannot uninstall Sidebar Launcher?
The "Lock screen" feature requires activating device administrator, you have to deactivate it in security settings before installing.
There are two ways to uninstall it:

2. First, go to "System settings" -> "Security settings" -> "Device administrators" deactivate "Sidebar Launcher", then uninstall Sidebar Launcher in a normal way.

Don't you hate the navbar?
Isn't it way to big and destroys look of the beautiful big screen?
And what about burn-ins?
There's a simple solution.
Completely hide the navbar and use PIE instead.
And it even makes one hand usage easier. Especially for S8+.
You no longer have to try to reach the statusbar or the back or recents button - doesn't matter on which hand you hold the phone.

Info:
This is a no-root solution. This won't trip knox nor will you loose your phones guarantee.
Anyway, all these steps are described as is and everything you do is on your own risk.
Don't blame me if anything goes wrong. But there isn't anything risky at all, so you should be safe.
Step-by-step guide:
Go to PlayStore and download Shortcutter Quick Settings and Pie Control
Go into Android settings and select developer settings at the very bottom (if you don't have it, do the steps described here)
Activate USB-Debugging
Make sure ADB and the needed drivers are installed on your computer. If not, do the 15 seconds installation described here.
Connect your phone to your computer and approve/allow all dialogs coming up on your phone.
Open CMD on your computer and write in the following 'adb shell pm grant com.leedroid.shortcutter android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS' (without asterics)
Wait few seconds. Then you can disconnect your phone again from your computer.
Open the app "Pie Control" you installed before on your phone and select 'Side'.
Activate the option 'ENABLE SIDE AREA' on the top using the slider
Click on the 'Level 1' tab and remove all entries there using the recycle bin icon.
Click on the first entry on Button 1, 2 and 3 and add the navigation buttons ('Tools' > 'Home' / 'Back' / 'Recent apps')
You should now be able to slide from both edges of the screen and the PIE controls with the three important buttons ('Home' / 'Back' / 'Recent apps') should come up
(You might want to change the settings on the 'Level 2' tab as well. I set them to 'Volume control', 'Camera', and 'Notification', which brings up the notification bar)
Next we need to get rid of the navigation bar.
Open the app "Shortcutter Quick Settings" you installed before on your phone and activate the very first option 'Security settings'.
Swipe right and activate "Immersive" (you might deactivate all the others if you don't need them).
Swipe down the status/notification bar with two fingers so that the quick setting tiles come up.
Tap on the three dots on the top right and select the first option.
Drag&drop the 'Immersive' tile from the bottom to the top setting tiles.
Tap on Done on the top right.
Now click on the 'Immersive' tile and then select the last option 'NO NAV'.
We're done!
Here some pictures how some apps look like after these steps and how PIE looks like.
Enjoy!
there's another way more simple and no root required ,download GMD immersive from playstore
Greetings and Hello everyone
I was using Buttons & Gesture > Navigation Gestures (left & right) without a bottom bar to avoid Burn-in and I often had noticed that I can't access Task Switcher with a simple swipe up like in other apps
So recently I activated the bottom bar with the same settings and I am starting to like it down there but it disappears on Home Screen and am sure many would want a cleaner home screen but is there a way to keep it there on home screen too? For easier swipe up to task switcher instead of swipe and hold

How can you say that it doesn't work after disappeared from home screen. it works for me even after disappearing from home screen....open some apps..like one,two or more than two then go to home screen then try to swipe right from the bottom centre &make sure your bottom bar is enabled in navigation..so you can use it..

Hello, I recently got a new Samsung Galaxy phone ( prior xiaomi user ).
On my previous phone, android 11 google pixel based rom, I used the android 11's gestures without a problem, my favourite one being the number 10 on this list. ( Android ALT TAB) https://www.computerworld.com/article/3439060/android-gestures.html
I want to know how I can achieve the same on my samsung galaxy phone (also android 11)
Goodlock family of apps including One Handed Operation plus (can setup custom navigation from L/R sides) give you more options.
Personally I loathe swipe navigation as the primary input.

I did try one handed operation app but it didn't give me the option to swipe the bottom of the screen left or right to snap (quickly transfer) between apps

It's only from the sides. It actually works very well and uses little battery. There's an option for a floating nav button cluster too. When the primary swipe or button navigation fail in a app, the One Handed Operation plus ones almost always works, saving a reboot.
My one N10+ is running on Android 10 and swipe gestures are default. They drove me crazy for 5 minutes until I set up the nav buttons.
Meh, it's not a Pixel; take advantage of the huge array of stock customization options available on the Galaxy Store. Free icon packs, themes and more. Try Sound Assistant to set up to 100 volume levels. There may be other apps in the Galaxy Store to modify swipe gestures from the bottom or in the phone's settings. I never explored this as I like my dinosaur navigation.
Check in settings>accessibility for possible options too. Use Setting search function as well.
This is a totally different animal than a Pixel.

}
Description:
There are 5 widgets in the application, there is no application interface itself.
2 widgets - transparent widgets, for locking the screen by double-clicking and single-clicking, respectively. (arbitrary size).
3 widgets - widgets in the form of a lock of different colors, for locking the screen by pressing. (1x1).
Tap on the application icon also blocks the screen, this was done for the general style under "Thematic icons", android 13 (Pixel)
Instruction:
1. Install the application.
2. Open system settings /Accessibility/DoubleTapWidget
warning will be issued,
press "OK".
3. Open system settings / applications / find in the list DoubleTapWidget / Click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner - "Allow settings changes", will ask for a password.
4. Again we go to point 2, but now you can activate the toggle switch
5. Go to the home screen, open the list of widgets, and select the desired widget.
Advantages:
1. The application does not consume battery as it uses a simple widget.
2. Without Root
3. Without any advertising.

Version: 1.2:
It skips the screen off animation. Is it possible to add it back? Maybe power off with root to achieve this?
I use this widget "Screen off - Widget & tile".

What's the reason for this app if we already have Double to Sleep on stock?

We don't have double tap to sleep on stock.
I always use double tap to sleep features that come with Nova Launcher. Great works, regardless

As mentioned yes unfortunately there is no double tap to sleep on stock unless you use a custom launcher.

You mean on Nova?
Is granting accessibility access to an app a safety concern?
