[Q] Add/Customize Gestures - Windows 8 General

Is there any software out there to add or customize gestures for Win 8? Love the current gestures, just wish there was a little more customization available.

[Q] Ununtu Style Desktop?

I really like the look and feel of Ubuntu tablet. Specifically the large desktop. I hate the limited space on my nexus 10. It makes sense on a phone but I wish I could scroll like on a PC or Ubuntu when using a larger screen.
Anyone know if there's anything out there that resembles the Ubuntu desktop. I like stock jelly bean. This is just one of a couple of things that bugs me.

I haven't heard of any projects like this, which is I think why Ubuntu started developing Ubuntu Mobile.

I also like a full desktop and use the following products to acheive that and also keep quick access to notifications and menu bar functionality.
full!screen - Hides both the notification and menu bars. You set a button (can be invisible), in one of the four screen corners, which has the ability to pop-up the notifications and other functions with a long press such as a last apps list. I liked this app so much that purchased fullscreen+ eventhough I do not use any of the enhanced features.
LMT - The PIE feature adds an autohide user definable menu where I have the menu bar navigation actions and a number of quick launch apps plus other functionality. This is a free app on XDA. Make sure to read the post's "Commands" documentation as it will help you understand how to get the most out of PIE . You access PIE on one side pf the screen or the other.
You need to be rooted but those apps work very well on Stock 4.2.2.

Sidebar pro, lmt launcher, and a ROM that can hide the status bar or an app like the one the user above told you. You can find all those apks on the googleplay or on the forum of xda.
Greetings.
Glovebox is an app that adds a shortcut bar that pops out from the side of your screen like Ubuntu Touch has.
If you have rooted device you can now hide soft keys (and keep notification bar) without modifications and reboots. Just try my new app:
GMD Hide Soft Keys
It also adds Quick NavBar - soft keys that can be opened with simple swipe from bottom and then autohide when not needed.

[Q] Apex Launcher Pro

I've used Apex Pro on my N2 and N3 and was planning on using it on the N4 but have been reading about improvements in Touch Wiz. I like Apex Pro because I can customize the number of icons and can resize widgets resulting in a more functional home page. What if anything will I be missing by not using Touch Wiz?

Gestures and third party launchers

I'm thinking of getting the 6T but have a few queries.
I like the gestures but do they only work on the stock launcher or do they work ok in nova launcher for example? I tried the mate 20 pro and the gestures didn't work well unless the stock launcher was used.
How much customisation is in the stock launcher? Can app names be edited or flow into 2 lines? Can you make folders, what size grids are available etc?
And finally can you change the shelf to be the Google feed instead?
I'm using the gestures with Nova. No issues. T-Mobile 6t
The gestures are OS level, not launcher level. I'm also using Nova with my own custom launcher gestures and I've had no issues with inputting either sets of gestures.
Gestures are working with nova, but not as good as stock:
-on stock, when you go home, animation shrinks into an app icon
-on nova application shrinks to the center of the screen. Also homescreen icons are present on this animation, while nova appears when it is over. I hope, they will fix it.

Any way close apps as on Mate 20 pro, Iphone Xs?

Just ask is there a possibility to set on S8 to end the application by pulling your finger from the bottom of the screen as Iphone X, XS, Mate 20 Pro? I was tryingit on Mate and it's just a habit. For example over some launcher? Thanks
There is some app in playstore called Fluid Navigation Gestures https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid&hl=en_IN
This gives all the navigation gestures as Mate 20 pro and iphone X
Do you mean swipe up to go home or to end the app?
You could try the XDA navigation gestures
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xda.nobar
Makes your phone have a similar navigation bar as the iPhone x
