I've used EXKernel for the past many Nexus/Pixel devices and I always enabled the S2S gesture. I upgraded from the P4XL recently and was surprised @flar2 wasn't developing for the P6/P7 variants. EXKM still works and I use the battery monitor constantly but really miss that one gesture. I don't use the Pixel Launcher (Nova) and prefer the old 3-button navigation. Is there currently any method other than a custom kernel to get the S2S gesture? Thanks.
If @tbalden's CleanSlate kernel comes here, or when @Freak07's Kirisakura comes here - @Freak07 hinted they were working on the kernel for the P7P, if still based on CleanSlate, you can use @tbalden's optional Play store apps to enable and refine configuration of S2S.
Right now I'm using the double tap in status bar feature of AOSP Mods, and many other features.

If you want to use the fingerprint sensor as capacitive button and remove the on screen buttons, here are how to do it. TESTED ON XT 1640 (BRAZIL VERSION)
First you need to root and install TWRP recovery. take a look on the other threads for it.
Install the EX Kernel from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/development/kernel-elementalx-g4-0-01-t3424836) [ READ THIS THREAD FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT COMPATIBILITY]
If everything works fine, this kernel makes you fingerprint work as home button, but to have others functions, intall this app ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-button-mapper-customize-hardware-t3361340)
Now you can remapp as your wish.
TO REMOVE THE ON SCREEN BUTTONS:
Use any build.prop editor and just add this line ( qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 )
post your screenshots if you enjoy it.
thanks to flar2 for the kernel and app.

Good to see some customizations coming along. I'm not a dev at all but I don't understand with android being custom sourced why everything is so hard to do. Its like something like this to happen requires a kernel app and than a download of another app to work with that app. Than only some things can be changed and unlock functions can't. It just reminds from 2009 and up having Activator app in the jailbreak world 7 years ago I could change my home button to do whatever along with gestures or anything. I know Apple isn't open sourced out of the box but when those restrictions are opened up they are 100% in function. Sadly Apple has more than doubled their prices since I was owning 2009-2011 phones so I've been in the android world for 4 years now. It just hurts me that the technology these days in 2016 we can't have a operating system as simple to tweak as a user but considered open sourced.

Removing the on screen buttons method is not working for me. Nav buttons are still there after adding "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 " in buildprop and rebooting. I am on Android N. Any ideas?

For this device, the mod is at the hardware level. The fingerprint sensor is just a fingerprint sensor. I modified the kernel to make it behave like a button and send home key events by default. The additional app, Button Mapper, allows you to assign actions to single press, double tap and long press.
You can actually do all this without root, which is pretty cool. But you still need a custom kernel.
Use Xposed and gravity box fingerprint launcher
There's an Xposed module called gravity box that will let you use the fingerprint scanner as the button. No custom kernel needed!
I can't hide the navbar.. help me please

But there is no Xposed for Android 7.0 yet.
How can I do it without changing the kernel but got root?
Is there any way of achieving this without changing the kernel? Because I want other features of my existing kernel. Isn't there an easier way? Like just adding a script or something?
Thanks in advance!
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 doesn't do the required stuff (hide the navigation bar).
Tried it on STOCK Nougat ROM with ElementalX kernel.
Well.. There is a much easier way. I have xt1643 running Lineage OS with Vegito kernel. Hats off to the kernel dev. My phone is so much smoother with less heating issues. Just there is a drop in battery backup. And coming back, in linage OS u have an Option to use expanded desktop with takes away the Navbar and Status bar. Use can swipe n bring it anytime you want. Also you can use the fingerprint as the home button..
Hey, I'm also an user of Lineage OS and there's an option in settings to set FP sensor as home button (an also double tap works as multitask), and the option to use expanded desktop mode (but I don't use this because apps still leave space as if the navbar existed - as it does -, showing up every time you type something etc), but I prefer to hide it completely editing build.prop as suggested.
So, with this setup, I don't really need the app cited on 1st post (also, when I tried it kept bugging).
BUT my problem is, there's no option as to set some gesture to work as back button. In a lot of apps there's a back arrow in the left top so it works nice, but there's also a lot more apps that doesn't have this, so it's kind of annoying.
Is there some way to solve this?? Or some mod to bring one button nav (as in the G5) to G4+??
Thanks in advance.
Can you tell me how to add these gestures to a custom rom which currently have none active?
Im using Lenovo P2A42. Its stock Android N has all three gestures for navigation in the fingerprint gesture natively. But none of its custom rom has this fuction. I want to add this function to the custom rom without using any third party app.
I Just updated to android 10 Q and have tried a few mods which have either crashed or required me to restore to base. What are some working Mods you are using on Android 10? i have oos call recorder only at the moment.
Currently the only thing I'm waiting for is QuickSwitch since I strongly dislike the OnePlus Launcher due to its lack of Google Feed, landscape mode, and integrated Search bar. I've been using Lawnchair on Pie and I intend to stay there until an updated version of QuickSwitch is available. But yeah, I'd like to think that modules that have been updated recently would have Q support but I can't exactly say since I don't really use many of them.
I'm only using a certain youtube module currently and it works perfect. Don't have any op specific module installed
xXx No limits works as well
All these work. Taichi Xposed works also
One of the major talking point is the lack of Android 10 gesture support for various custom launchers. Some launchers might have incorporated these gestures on their own (but they are quite few in numbers). Here, i would be giving you an ADB command through which you could make these gestures compatible with any custom launcher on any Android 10 device (including our very own Moto One Action).
Code:
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural
After executing the above code, the Gesture navigation will still be grayed out as before, but will have been selected and enabled. Moreover, hack by no means is perfect, and occasional gesture issues might happen every now and then (as far as my opinion goes, I am ready to forego these small hiccups in return of something great, but the choice is ultimately yours).

A10s gestures already support 3rd party launchers since 11.2019. I was also shocked to find out they're still getting disabled after I updated to 10. I guess Moto software team haven't updated their base yet, Wich is absurd. Or they're doing this intentionally in order to make users use their own gestures... ?

It's on Google, not on Motorola. Remember Moto One Action is an Android one device

Currently, Android 10 Gesture Navigation is incompatible with 3rd party launchers on non Pixel devices. I read that it checks to see if the launcher is your default system launcher before allowing Gesture Navigation. Would the following process be an effective workaround and make Gesture Navigation compatible with a launcher of my choosing?
- Root phone
- Install 3rd party launcher
- Set 3rd party launcher as system app and change permissions accordingly
- Remove stock launcher and it's backup APKs
- Restart device
I have an ROG phone 2 with Android 10, but I really don't like the stock launcher and I also don't like having the navbar on screen.

Currently and exactly from November 2019 this isn't true. Google have updated their repos even the one for aosp to support 3rd party launchers.
It's a matter of choice by the manufacturer company to update their base in order to support it.
Are there any roms for this that have the PA pie feature or crt screen off from back in the day
Nope. it's 2022 bro. Who needs pie?
You can use LMT launcher, og app that is pretty much the same as pie but really configurable and still being updated, just download latest version (3.2) and enjoy!
[APP][ROOT] LMT Launcher v3.2
LMT is a tool for Android (tested already on multiple devices but should run on nearly all) that launches a command when perform single touch or multitouch gestures on the screen (In any app/screen/etc.). You can connect basic and advanced...

Hello,
I love my pixel 6A but it misses some nice stuff I use to have with magisk and gravitybox in my previous phones
- long press back to quit
- easy way to start flashlight (long press power ? shake the phone? I can have it double taping back of phone but it's not rerally good and not working anymore since I have case)
- also maybe could have shortcut to start flashlight as a button on lockscreen? better than nothing
- circle battery
- and so on...
also, double sim phone is desastrous, I'm so disapointed for a google phone, no custom ringtone on each sim, my motorola edge 20 which is not very famous was doing much better!
I know there are some custom roms but each seems to have some problem and stability is very important to me.
I have magisk and exposed
Do you guys know any good solutions ?
thanks cheers

I haven't used gravity box in years.
AOSP Mods is easily the best magisk module for stock roms.
