Does Android need navigation buttons?

After watching a demo of the new BlackBerry 10 today, it occured to me that Android doesn't need the navigation bar taking up screen real estate. The back button can be replaced by swipe from left edge into center (similar to pulling down the notification bar on top). Swiping from bottom up brings up the menus. And swiping from right to left can either go home or with a second up or down flick go to recent apps (or switch these two).
Once this is implemented, manufacturers can get rid of the bottom capacitive buttons, increasing screen size while keeping phone physical size constant. Android can finally get rid of the navigation bar that wastes so much space.
Make it happen I'll test but I like my soft keys

Well, that's a thought. Personally, I'd just put the softkeys into the statusbar and get rid of the navigation bar altogether.

Apparently the Ubuntu smartphone OS has all these edge swipe gestures in the plans:

[Q] Navigation bar on stock rom?

Is it possible to enable the navigation bar to replace the hardware keys? The location of the capacitive buttons are hard to find in the dark and feel awkward to use.
+1..... Xsposed just gives me a menu button when in portrait mode. I need the whole set not just one button.
I'm using Pie Control and love it. I've set trigger points on the left and right edges that fall above where the on-screen keyboard ends so that there's no conflict. I also have a trigger on the bottom right. I like the fact that I don't have to lose any screen space in order to get the navigation keys and that regardless of what orientation I'm in I can hit pie controls with either thumb without moving my grip of the tablet.

Good point. I found out about that after feeling the need to better navigate. The pie is super cool.

Good Lock's One-hand operation mode should be default!

After the last update I am confident to that the One-hand operation gestures that relies on the edge is mature enough to be the default way of navigation on coming Samsung phones and updates...
Horizontal Swipe - Back
Diagonal Down - Recents
Diagonal Up - Previous App
Long Diagonal Down - Screen Move Down
Long Diagonal Up - Screenshot
And the Home button is pressure sensitive anyway
I have found this to be the easiest and most intuitive..
Long horizontal swipe can accidentaly triggered very often...
I think this is the perfect setup... Any one else has any suggestions?

Gesture navigation problem

Hey guys, my gesture navigation is broken. It’s taking my swipes from whole 1/3 of the bottom screen. So swiping web etc is pain in the ass and playing games is actually impossible, because when I try to control anything on that sidetof display, it just goesrto home screen or back...
Is there anyone with same issue, or do I need to contact support?
I actually solved it! I had to switch back to buttons, restart phone (without restart it didn't work) and then I could switch back to gesture navigation. Now everything works as it should be.

I suggest always restarting after switching to navigation gestures. On the 6T, when I would switch from buttons to gestures, swiping from the bottom would register input on the keyboard (if it was open). It would go away after a restart.
I hate that there's no haptic feedback

Navigation Bar Questions for a big screen

So I've gotten used to the swipe up gestures for the navigation bar over my past few phones but going to the fold 2, on the big screen, the swipe gestures are too far apart for convenience. I see that there is an option for the traditional nav buttons to be offset to the right or left but i don't see an option for swipe gestures to be offset to the right or left. Is this even possible? Either within the Samsung settings or even a third party app?
The swipe gestures are new to me... never used them on my last phone (Note 8). I'm getting used to it on the small and large screens. I thought about switching back to include the buttons, but then it takes some of the video away which I think defeats the purpose of spending all this money on a phone with a large screen.
It's quite a bit easier if you go into the navigation options and switch to the gestures where you swipe from the side for back and bottom for home. When you do that anywhere up on the bottom will take you home so you can make both gestures in the lower right or left corner of the screen.

Thanks. I've been using this method. Although not my preference is the best option so far. I appreciate the recommendation.
It would be nice if they'd let us fiddle with the placement and type of nav gestures, it's true about any phone but I think more so with this one due to the form factor.
