Is there a gesture or the other way to activate split screen when using navigation gestures? Can't find anything...
I don't think there is gesture to do it directly, but you can activate it when you go to recent apps (swipe from bottom up), long press on app, split screen.

One thing that I am finding annoying in Kitkat is that the left most screen (other than Google Now) is the default screen after pressing the home button. I'd prefer that I could choose which screen the home button takes me to. Is there a setting for this that I am misssing?
Thanks
Yes you're missing everything about android, this isn't ios of course you can change whichever home screen you want. When you're on your home screen press the 'Home screen button' again and then press the small + sign the upper right corner, there you can add or delete and rearrange your screens and the one with the green check mark is your default main home screen.

That worked on 4.3, but it doesn't seem to work on 4.4. The default home screen (i.e. where the home button takes you) is always the "left-most" screen (other than google now) and you have to scroll right to get to the other screens.

Ahh..I'm using nova launcher. I can't not have the customizations it enables.

Not being able to choose the default screen bugged me for a total of 1 day and now I don't care anymore.

you can drag and rearrange the screens to pick a new home
While it looks like there is no way to set which screen is the home screen - probably because of google now being the leftmost screen - you CAN change the order of the screens by long-pressing and then dragging them to rearrange. Whichever one is left-most becomes the default "home screen". when you hit the home icon.
To access recent apps while using my s-Pen, is there an alternate way to access them perhaps complete a gesture on the screen with the pen instead of long pressing home button?
This is a free app that comes in really handy, since it's hard to reach and double tap the status bar to quickly lock our G3's.
It's called swipe lock.

Simply swipe from a selected edge of the screen and it turns off the display.

Thanks, nice find.

Another option is in G3 TweaksBox, you can set it to turn off when you double tap the Nav bar. I'm loving it, but you have to tap on the edges.
Double tapping the notification bar is also possible using GravityBox :good:
Is there a way to make the system think you're using on screen nav buttons without actually using on screen nav buttons. The outcome i I'm looking for is in apps like Google chrome where if you have on screen nav buttons, the app gives you a drop down menu button. When using the hardware nav buttons this option isn't available. It would be nice to be able to use either method.
The feature you seem to be describing is pie controls. It's embedded in certain roms and is available in a app. Do a Google search and you can read more about pie controls.

Enabling a 3 dot menu on apps sounds like what you're asking for.
I was wondering if it would be possible to disable on-screen buttons and have the fingerprint sensor used (and remapped) for home and multitask (double tap/long hold gesture), whether it be by kernel or custom rom.
On-screen buttons is probably the only thing that kept me from upgrading to m8/m9 and other phones like nexus 5 from my m7 and I would like to know if it would be possible.
The fingerprint sensor can double as home in settings without any modification.
But if you'll need back and multitask, I doubt this single button can do so much.
Would you like to try LMT launcher? You may be able to disable on screen button by simple tweak and use LMT swipe PIE and gesture instead.
I have on screen buttons to hide and I use LMT
I figured that since most apps have a back button (within the app itself) that the fingerprint sensor could be mapped for both short and long pressed, a short press for home and a long press/hold for multitasking/appswitch (or even double tap for multitasking/appswitch like I have on my m7 home button).
I have tried LMT/PIE gestures on the nexus 5 and it felt too bothersome in my opinion, though I also think that on the a9 it will be a little bit more tolerable if I have to use it for back/multitasking

Does LMT interfere wirh the original and intended functions of the fingerprint sensor at all?
Not at all
