Lock Screen Camera Shortcut - OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does it work for you?
For me it ask for fingerprint and then shows the launcher.
Sent from my ONE A2005

Works for me no problem. Make sure you are swiping from the right, not the corner of the screen. The icon can be somewhat missleading

Yes, I'm doing it right ... maybe Xposed is causing the issue.

Just to be sure, do you have more than one camera-app installed? That tends to break things with shortcuts for me. (Although, swipe usually works, it's the off-screen gesture that's not working with more than one camera installed...)

Good point!
Now that I removed the Google camera app, all is good.

App shortcuts with fingerprint?

Saw the google live cases (not great imho, think your corner drugstore might be able to create something similar.) BUT I did notice it adds a cool function that launches your favorite, or most used app, with your fingerprint. Looking around but havent found any apps/ mods that do this. Is there currently a way to launch apps with the fingerprint scanner? Thinking this would be good for the camera...
Is this what you want to do - fingerprint as take photo button - http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/selfie-camera-how-press-shutter-button-t3239304

Fingerprint reader to unlock & display notifications

I'm on the latest RR, 5.3.8. Finger print function works, but there's no addition settings available to do other things once the phone is unlocked (gravitybox added some additional functionality, but no xposed in 7).
I've tried several apps that let you configure additional functions to the finger print once unlocked. The entry i'm using is 'toggle notifications'. This works, but seems to add significant lag when unlocking the phone, requiring at least 2 taps to unlock.
Any thoughts or suggestions for achieving this? Ideally it'd be nice to do a slow double tap - first to unlock, second to toggle the notification without having to move my finger from the back to the front.
hello try to download the NExt lockscreen in Play store..work wonders for me...
Is this app similar to widget locker from years past?
I don't know if I want a full blown lock screen replacement. When I did have widgetlocker instsalled, i used the same apps as were on the home screen. Layout was very similar. Really all I want to do is use the fingerprint reader as another button. It's far more convenient to tap it once unlocked than to move fingers to the front of the phone to swipe the status bar down.

J Touch app for navigation rocks

Hey friends
I really don't like the navbar which is reducing the screen to much, so I decided to install J Touch app from playstore.
Loaded a nice looking home button jpeg picture from the web. Give the button a one hit back function, a long press home function and a swipe up for recents.
Please see attached pictures navigating is nice and I whish I could even eliminate the navbar on the homescreen

Keeping one icon appear on the screen all the time may cause burn in I'd be worried about that

No I don't think so. There is transparency setted, the button is popping if hitted and it is shifting up on home screen. You could be as scared or even more about a status bar burn in...
and look how much time is needed:
"Test Results
The iPhone X displayed burn-ins before the Galaxy Note 8 at 17 hours. However, it took 510 hours for the images to become permanently etched on its display which also marked the end of the test.
Compared to that, the Note 8 took 62 hours to show first signs of display burn-in, which is impressive. However, it had permanent marks way before the end of the test. The Galaxy S7 Edge showed signs of burn-in sooner than the iPhone X, however, it showed permanent burn-ins much later than the Note 8 and almost at iPhone X’s 510 hour mark."

Ok so would you recommend the app over navigation gesture? The gesture is not polished at the moment I'll give the app a go

I think so, you can also activate temporary move, which is helpful is s.th. is hided by the button. So you can move the button away for two seconds. You can hide button always in landscape, it is hiding when you are keyboard typing... it is perfect for 18:9 displays.
If navbar would have a one button control too, I wouldn't use J Touch.
You can also give it an iPhone look but ok I guess everybody is hating apple .
Edit: Ah ok you mean gesture. Sorry I didn't have this option until now.... don't know what is better
Looks like a nice app. I prefer LMT Launcher though as you can set it to do almost any task and only comes on the screen when you activate it so creates a really clean look with extra functionality.
Or you could try Gesture Control from Conena.. I'm very happy with the way the gestures work

Have you been able to use lmt with stock os? If so, I'd like to know the secret for getting rid of the nav bar
Not sure. Not really a fan of stock. From other forum members, it's possible to disable it with the joneplustool app. Both that and LMT require root.
I've been using Swipe Navigation. It even has long press functionality. Loving it so far.
That looks bat **** ugly, why don't you just download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.suphi.swipenavigation&hl=en ?
In my kg g6 its eating battery like elephant ??
Xposed Edge anyone?

swipe up from corners to go back

I use lots of apps that swiping right or left brings up side menus ,so swipeing right or left to back is pain and interferes with these apps ,is there any way of using the corners again ?
I hate this, too. So I use the best third party gesture app that retains OnePlus' original gestures, plus adds additional functionality:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivianuu.oneplusgestures
Switch to navigation bar, then use a PC with ADB to hide the bar. Or use root..

Thanks for this recommendation. I too am used to the original gestures and find myself constantly invoking the Google Assistant without wanting to!
I was so disappointed with the new gestures and immediately started to miss my OnePlus 6, this app saves the whole Android 10 experience on OP8. Thank you!!
I don't mind the right side swipe but I don't need the left swipe in for back, any way to deactivate that!?
XDA app uses swipe in from left and the phone just thinks I want to go back

I personally use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid since it has a bit more features. Same setup though. I just couldn't stand the normal implementation...
Try swiping on a diagonal when trying to open a menu.
Edit: diagonal trick doesn't work so well, but I've found that using 2 fingers works very well to slide a menu out and not trigger the back function.
Thought I would revive this ,surely Google and apps developers.realisenthisnis an issue and something has to give ,I use at least half a dozen aps that have swipe from the side gestures ,all that's happening the moment is it takes me back .
Surely either app developers have to make it swipe from middle for it to work or Google has to allow swipe up to go back as an option

Hiding The Big Stupid Navbar Android 11

Long story short, Q gestures is absolutely terrible. I use a third party app for navigation. however, EVERY single app I've ever tried seems to be unable to hide the nav bar due Google's screwery. in fact, even Fullscreen Qgestures magisk module does nothing on Ob1.
Does anyone know a definitive way to hide the stupid annoying navbar?
Google have removed the ability to over-scan the display in Android 11 (which is the trick all 3rd party apps used to hide the nav bar); so at the moment there's simply NO WAY to remove it,
I wouldn't mind the built-in gestures so much if there was the ability to turn off the "mini nav bar" which just shows a hide icon every time you use a keyboard. That's the biggest UI issue in my book, it just looks stupid!
Google needs to reverse it back to the way it was...
no updates on this? too bad google removed wm overscan

With magisk you can use module called Fullscreen/Immersive Gestures (Q-R).
Works great, no problems with missing toast notifications etc.
can confirm, that magisk module works perfectly. use your volume keys during install to set the settings. https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/HideNavBar
Has anyone done this to get fng working on an OP8 Pro with latest Android 11?
EDIT: Just read the github. Doesn't work with Oxygen OS.

I absolutely loathe that extra button.
But the slider at the bottom of the screen for gestures I've grown to love.
Knocking it left or right switches apps really quickly and I couldn't be without that now.

The latest version works.
Nice one for this.
Have to keep the OnePlus launcher installed to retain gestures though
Sliding at the bottom still works

I don't understand what you mean: you can define swipes to hide or to reveal the top and/or bottom bars.
No keyboard necessary.

So on nova yes you can but the keyboard will still have the additional bar underneath it.
Nova can't fix that

Absolutely yes with you mate, what are you talking about lol.
@dliadz: I see what you mean. The space (and not specific the bottom bar) is there. I didn't even notice it because it doesn't bother me.

Hi,
You can either use fullscreen Gesture magisk module or you can follow this guide below-
How to remove Nav Bar in Android 11
Works perfectly on OP8 Pro with latest Android 11 update. Thanks a lot.
forum.xda-developers.com
In oxygenOS 11 you can hide the bottom space between the keyboard and gesture .... you have that option in your settings under the language and input section.... you can simply search keyboard height adjustment in setting and you'll find it
thank you
Is there a way to auto-hide the nav bar? Ex. On my old phone you could swipe up to show it or tap a dot on the left to stop it from disappearing.
Looks like the only way is to use a different launcher? I tried adding the fullscreen / immersive module but I believe that's just for the keyboard.
