So i was trying the xda gestures app and it was meh, but the app in the OP is pretty smooth and simple, straight to the point.

hate the idea that i have to install a 3rd party app to do what my OP6 was doing out of box :\
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] masri1987:
So here's a interesting situation , using the app in the OP and hiding the navbar from the app, still produces a blindingly white navbar during phone calls. if i edit the build.prop as you suggest would it remove that completely?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] lollyjay:
Absolutely
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] krabman:
I cant figure out how the stock gestures/recents/drawer passed muster. You know they were comparing their work to what everyone else did, Android, Apple, even the mod community where they get a lot of their "inspiration". I don't see any way I'm the executive making the go decision on the mess we were delivered. I do see myself having the person who put the idea on my desk escorted from the building by a couple big goons who were instructed to hit his head on every object between his or her office and the curb on the way out.

OnePlus Gestures app is the best
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] harperrr2k:
This is gold. I really enjoy the nav options and being able to hide the bar.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sn0warmy:
Coming from a OnePlus 6, I actually really like the solution in the OP of this thread better. It's more fluid than the stock gesture navigation on the OnePlus 6 and I love the little bubble that pops up when you perform swipe actions.

Great find OP! Thanks for sharing.

Also, for those having issues hiding the nav bar, make sure you have ADB properly setup on your PC and phone. Then plug your phone in your computer and use your preferred command prompt app to run the following command exactly as it is below:

adb shell pm grant com.fb.fluid android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

Or, if you're rooted, follow lollyjay's instructions in post #11:

NOTE: If you don't have ADB setup or don't know how, don't flood this thread with requests on how to do it. There are already plenty of instructions for you to reference to get this done. Here's a good one to follow:

[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] superchilpil:
Pretty great find, I like that it not obtrusive so doesn't take away from the full screen experience
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] masri1987:
by the way, i had to change the value back to 0 on that line that i added because my google board and any other app was extended beyond the bottom of the screen. Weird.

Anyone else?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] lollyjay:
Nope not here.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] masri1987:
weird, i'll keep monitoring it, it's set at 0, navbar isn't there. I don't have it disabled with the oneplus gestures app either.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] lollyjay:
If you have it set to 0 then after reboot the navigation bar should be back. I just tested it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] masri1987:
Not here...

Something weird going on.

Is it possible that because i used the app in the OP and gave it root permissions at first to hide the navigation bar, (uninstalled it) made the build.prop addition, installed oneplus gestures.

Something like that :?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] lollyjay:
Yes probably. But I don't know what you could do now :confused:
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] masri1987:
I could redownload original app from op enable it and then go back into build prop and set it to 1?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] lollyjay:
I am uncertain about what the app modifies so I cannot make any suggestions
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Chronzy:
Totally agree. And love the root/screen off options. Just got to make sure to keep the height low enough not to interfere with other apps (keyboard) which is no prob.

And agree with another poster that said it's the first app that feels rock solid enough to feel stock.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] ellisftw:
I've recommitted to once again try and stick with a gesture app and I have been enjoying NG. The same frustrations show up thanks to my muscle memory following the same steps since essentially Cupcake.

Gesture navigation may be the one and only iPhone feature (or the way they implement it) that I wish they would copy and add to Android along with the original Nav as another option.

What continues to be the really aggravation for me is the battle to maintain some appearance of uniformity. Sometimes the status bar is there, sometimes it's tinted for no reason and makes my Pixel 2 XL look like a knock off.

The second I drop into immersive mode it all switches again. Sorry, I only popped in to say I am loving the app OP mentioned and now I need to find the fix to life the dock up in immersive. :silly:

---------- Post added at 04:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

Well ****. Perhaps I need to give the one plus gestures another go. I probably should just root my 2 XL with the Magisk method and be done fiddling with half measures like immersive modes.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] masri1987:
curious question to you guys... do you think the oneplus gestures app causes battery drain?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] lollyjay:
I've been using it for a week and my standby battery is 0.78% and active is 10.4% per hour
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] finsmaniac02:
Using the stock battery app (maybe there is one that is better - but I don't really need it) - the gesture app in OP does not show up at all on battery usage. I assume that means it has used less than 1%
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Chronzy:
Neither does OPG... Thinking it's just recording battery being used while you're actually in the app configuring. Gonna try some different battery apps to see if I can get a more realistic usage stat.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sn0warmy:
I just switched from the gesture app posted in the OP to OnePlus Gestures, to give it a try. Only been a few minutes but it does already feel a bit more fluid and easier to trigger than the one in the OP. It feels exactly like my OnePlus 6 now. Going to stick with it a bit but if these early usage signs tell me anything, I'll probably be sticking with OnePlus Gestures.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] lollyjay:
I agree. I set the left swipe for screen lock and right swipe up and hold to activate Franco's simple reboot
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] sn0warmy:
Great call! I'll try that setup.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] krabman:
I use...

Right=Back, Right hold=Kill App

Center= Home, Center hold=Files

Left=Previous App, Left hold=Recents

I always preferred back on the right and that didn't change with gestures. I use action launcher so I seldom use recents since most every app I use with much frequency is one touch away anyways making it more work to get to the same place. I do go back and forth between two apps frequently which is why previous app gets the left up rather than recent apps. Center up and hold has been something I've been playing with; right now I'm on files but that may change. Some of this is because Action Launcher already had a number of actions for tap, swipe, multiple finger swipes, making it so I don't need more gestures than I already have. All the nav gestures really need to do is nav.

Question for everyone on "Oneplus Gestures"

Does it have any animations with it yet? Does it ever fail to register or seemingly get "turned off" by the system (even with battery management not on)?

I used it a while back and had that problem, and I prefer to have some kind of animation with it

Both of those are handled by the "N.G. Fluid" app (that I posted in OP)

But with everyone saying that Oneplus Gestures is working better, I might try again
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] airmaxx23:
I used OnePlus Gestures for a couple days and didn't like how often it repeatedly wouldn't register my swipes. N.G. Fluid has been basically flawless for me for a couple days now and there is still no animation in OnePlus Gestures.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] lollyjay:
Absolutely no problems with oneplus gestures
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] JeromeLeung:
How do y'all rotate the screen with these apps?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] airmaxx23:
The screen rotates as normal and the swipe areas are at the bottom of the screen. or you can have them in a fixed position.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] lollyjay:
I keep the gestures in a fixed location
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] JeromeLeung:
Do you mean you use the nav bar alongside gestures?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] airmaxx23:
No, you can set the gesture area to auto-rotate with the screen or stay in one spot. The point of using the gesture navigation is to remove the stock buttons to free up screen space.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] lollyjay:
Tru dat ^
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] JeromeLeung:
Oh, I meant Android P's rotation button that shows up when you rotate the screen without auto rotate on
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Chronzy:
0.5% from OPG and 0.4% from Nav hide= 0.9% over an entire day. Using gsam...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] tyea:
I've been using the xda gesture app for a week now on the pixel 3xl with the pill in sections, and 100% transparency. This is working well, and I appreciate the extra screen space.

Thanks for the good work.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] PuffDaddy_d:
Is there a free version somewhere that I can try before I buy?

The Fluid NG is super smooth and works great so far, and it's FREE.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] lollyjay:
If you like what you have, then no reason to get oneplus gestures app
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] airmaxx23:
Just for comparison the Fluid N.G. app is using .1% of battery over the course of a day.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] PuffDaddy_d:
Yeah but I'm always willing to try new things. I was happy with the three buttons until I tried Fluid NG.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] lollyjay:
Lol I'm same. I've tried all of them.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
If anyone wants a black statusbar your welcome to try this ADB Installer. It's only good for people that use an alternate third party gesture or pie navbar since it turns the navbar black as well and it needs to be removed. Give you a notch less look. Unzip on a Windows PC, run install.bat, give ADB root permission.

has anyone noticed if you use the app in OP or the OP gestures app, and hide the navbar,

If you summon google now via active edge accidentally you can't back out unless you turn off screen first...

can anyone confirm?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Xandlinger:
I am using the app from the OP with the Nav Bar hidden and I can back out of the Google Assistant summoned with Active Edge.

How are you doing Kill App?

I just paid for premium hoping it would show up in actions... but no luck.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] krabman:
I returned mine and moved over to the 6T so I don't have the app installed now. It's there though, just look through the full list of options when you select the hold and you'll see it by whatever name. Could be "close current app" for example, you'll likely now it when you see it.

Is there any other Gestures app that we can use without this issues even if we are on root... ??
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] 93ae8074:
The only one I know of is LMT, it was working for me without Accessibility services on. Since Pie if you do not turn on Accessibility services it dies and stops responding. :(
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] airmaxx23:
I have not noticed any changes to scrolling when using the Fluid NG app.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] DocteurN:
No problem with scroll smoothness with accessibility services on, on my PIXEL 3 XL...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] finsmaniac02:
Yeah I second this, I have not seen any scrolling smoothness change with Fluid NG, or any other accessibility services app....
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] PuffDaddy_d:
I've tried all the gesture based apps listed in this thread and none of them have affected my scrolling smoothness.

Using the Fluid gestures app to hide the navbar but the navbar appears again after locking the phone or using YouTube in fullscreen.

Is there a solution for this?

Figured it out. I had another app installed to hide the navbar that interfered.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] 93ae8074:
Interesting as in Chrome is pretty evident to me. I know that this is a personal issue. Some of us are easily bother by it and some cannot see the difference. Unlocky me...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] stones0:
Anybody else notice that when you use OP gestures and navbar hide if you are in a phone call (in the Phone app) the gestures don't seem to work? Don't think I saw this mentioned.

Also seems to be the case if you are in the camera app activated with the double press on the power button while the phone is locked.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] PuffDaddy_d:
Yes, there are certain situations when overlays aren't accessible.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] 93ae8074:
Hi again. Just testing LMT again and now it is working perfectly. As I said, LMT does not need accessibility on for most of the options. It is awesome.

Update: I completely forgot about GMD GestureControl * root. It does not need Accessibility services and works like a charm.

I have uninstalled the app ie: fluid navigation gestures.

I have uninstalled the app bore but I cannot see my default navigation bar anywhere, i have tried rebooting my phone, doesn't help. Is this because of the ADB command that has to be fired from the ADB command line, please give me a solution to bring my original navbar back.

Thanks so much! After switching from the OP6... This is one thing I was missing from OOS!!!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Seamonkey79:
There's an option in advanced for quick unlock detection, I checked that and it seemed to have helped a lot. Still a little lag on unlocking, but noticeably quicker than it was before checking that option.

I'm wondering if it's because I went with the root method instead of adb, did you also choose root?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] walle4893:
This app works great! However is it any way I can bring back the swipe and hold - drag action to scroll between recent apps horizontally? (I used Lawnchair before with navbar displayed and the equivalence of this is swipe and hold from home button, same gesture as the original pixel launcher I believe).

There's only 1 recent apps action in this app it seems like, and it only brings up the menu, you have to manually scroll.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] masri1987:
hiding the navbar by editing the build.prop does some really weird stuff when things like google assistant is up

Fluid gesture is without doubt the best gesture app for Android, have been using it since 4 months now and works very well and have bought the Pro version as well.

I have disabled the side gestures, below is my setup
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] smartymcfly:
Xposed edge can do swipe and hold. But it can not do fast swipe left right for recents.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] stivy73:
I think Edge Gesture is better: has a lot more customisazions (i LOVE the swipes on the edges and the pull and slide feature to manage the volume/brightness). https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.edgegestures

To hide the systemnavbar i use another small app called Hidenavbar https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivianuu.hidenavbar
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] AznImport:
Anyway for the phone to ignore the status bar to utilize the full screen of the phone? Current immersive mode options does hide the status bar, but it creates a black bar.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Face_Plant:
1. Install the Magisk module below and reboot

2. Go to developer options

3. In the "Drawing" section open "Display cutout"

4. Select "Notch Killer" from the list

5. Enable immersive mode

The image displayed by the screen will now go all the way to the top of the device and not leave the black in the corners next to the notch. I've been using it on my 3 XL running the March security update for about a week in place of "Notch Bar Killer." It works great. In fact, I like it more.

What version of Magisk are you using?

This is a long shot, but maybe try changing your device language to English and checking again? I'm suggesting this because I suspect if the overlay installed by the module doesn't provide a translation for "notch killer" in German, Spanish, French, or whatever the device language is set to, then maybe the Settings app won't show it in the list?

This is my current setup which oddly enough looks like what android Q will be bringing for gestures.

Edge gestures:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.edgegestures

This is what I use to setup my swipe on either side of the screen to go back. Makes it much easier to do with either hand. Just make sure to mess with the padding size and length until you get it where you want. I'm currently using back and volume/brightness adjustments with my sides

Gesture control: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.conena.navigation.gesture.control

This is what I'm using to create my own 'pill' which you can create with whatever size you like! There is a sensor pad you can make larger or smaller as well so you'll need to mess around with it until it works for you. Im only using it to go home and recent apps but there's a ton more you can do with it.

If you have any questions or want some more info on my setup lmk!
