I was just wondering if the screen off gestures on the Oneplus One were based on hardware or software? In other words, is there any chance of them coming to this phone with a custom rom? I miss drawing sideways triangles without having to look at my phone while driving to change the music. About the only thing I miss from that phone in upgrading to this really.
Also, anyone else by chance have the Google play store crashing every once in a while?
Many of the third party launchers support gestures. I am using Apex and Screen Lock Pro (which supports Marshmallow/Imprint) to lock my screen when I double-tap the home screen and go to Google Now when I swipe up.

He's talking about using gestures while the screen is off, like on the OnePlus One.

Ah. I never had an OPO. I thought he meant gestures to turn the screen off, not gestures used while the screen is off.
I won't try to be helpful next time!

You should always try to be helpful, at least you tried.
ElementalX kernel allows single swipes in four directions and double tap off screen gestures. It's pretty cool. No customizable gestures though (such as drawing arrows or an 'S', etc).

Hoping to get feedback on user experience with the Mediapad M3. I have not seen a post for this and just purchased US m3 64GB - waiting on delivery.
It would be great to hear from you on the following:
- Are you pleased with the purchase?
- Country
- 32 or 64GB, LTE
- Stock or custom ROM
- Expanded storage size
- What you like most about the device.
- In reading through threads here, seems most everyone loves the hardware and build quality.
- Firmware updates have corrected issues seen early. Settings adjustments and launchers help too.
- 5ghz works if device is rooted and file tweaked
- Unlocking and rooting are possible but not as clean as we've seen with other devices. Untrusted screen popup on boot is annoying.
I will likely use stock and be hawkish for updates and would appreciate your insight.
Thanks in advance.
John
Just recently bought this and had it for an hour.
Compared to a couple of other tablets I own, I'm blown away by the sound quality so far (Its really loud..)
Located in USA 64GB on Stock rom latest update.
The main feature I look for in tablets is the expanded storage so it's a plus.
I like the size, weight wise it's not so bad, screen is bright indoors (Some people say it's not enough)
I'm saddened that this device isn't really popular, it doesn't have custom roms or kernels but I can make do with it with what ever it has. Besides that I have a OP3 power horse for anything else.
As the name suggest for this tablet it'll literally be only for media like books, manga, videos, and music(?).
You won't be disappointed and will be more eager to use it when it hits EMUI 5.0 and it's Nougat update :]

Thanks for the response! Great insight.
Did you get the firmware update when booted up or did you have to check for updates? I agree on Nougat and EM5. Come quick. ?
I have had Nexus devices since GNexus. Nexus 5, 7, 10, 6, 9 and 6p. Of these, the Nexus 9 had been the most disappointing by far performance wise. The sound is decent for movies and videos. However, been waiting for the right replacement and do hope this is it.
Thanks again.

It already had the update when I got it. Bought it used (like new) on Amazon. It's really snappy and kinda big for my small hands but a better keyboard fixed that right up. Using thumb keyboard and the layout fits very nicely when typing in either horizontal or vertically.
Performance wise you just need to switch it over to performance mode and you can forget about it being sluggish.
Have been looking at this as a replacement for my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 whose battery is slowly failing. The specs look great but the lack of development is kind of concerning, I love trying new roms on my android devices.
I've looked at the root and twrp threads and it looks like things have progressed to the point I can be confident of having a rooted device I can take nandroid backups of. As long as I can have root and put Action Launcher 3, TB, and the other basics on it I should be happy.
Now I just have to debate whether an extra $50 for the 64gb version is worth it considering I'm coming from a device with 16gb.

1. Yes. Very little traction on development. Would love to see this pick up.
2. Good progress on rooting. Wonder what the unlocked warning page looks like...but only want to see it once.
3. Action Launcher 3 is great & I will install even before rooting. I run Action 3 on my 6P.
4. Spend the $50 - you get a headset and twice the storage.
Mine arrives today. I will post feedback once I give it a spin. If the IMUI 5/Nougat beta program is open, I will register.
Too loud

It is loud indeed, unfortunately too loud for me. The lowest volume is the same as 50% on my Galaxy S6.
I've tried Fine Volume Control V2, which works great on my phone. But on the M3 you have to open the app itself to adjust the volume. Using the volume rockers resets the volume level.
Is there any other apps I can try? Thinking about returning it and wait for WMC.
Hi,
I'm also interested in buying this tablet, but I have some concerns:
1. I will be using the tablet 100% in landscape mode. Can I lock the rotation to landscape (*without* third party apps)?
2. In landscape mode, is the navbar to the right instead of bottom? Can it be changed to bottom in the settings?
3. I saw that it supports gestures on the fingerprint reader. Can the navbar be disabled in the settings, so only the gestures can be used? Can *both* be disabled (since the fingerprint reader is right where you hold it in landscape and it will get accidentally pressed) so I can use a third party pie control?
4. Is the lowest brightness low enough so you can use it at night without any problems (and *without* software filters)?
5. At the lowest brightness, does it flicker? Using a white background / picture, when you wave your hand / finger, is it continuous or "framed"? See https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ru474L8N15w
6. Can all versions be rooted & TWRP installed, or only the US version? I will buy it in Europe. Can Xposed be installed?
Thanks.

This might not be the tablet for you if not rooted with ROM. Others may know differently but this is what I have found.
1. Landscape locking: if you use a launcher like Action 3, you can lock in landscape. However, this does not lock stock settings menu.
2. Landscape horizontal nav bar: no but you could turn them off. This is a phone OS with little thought of limiting phone centric features.
3. Disabling nav bar and finger print gestures: you can turn each off independently but not at the same time.
4. Brightness or dimming are fine. Low setting is low.
5. No flicker at lowest setting.
6. See the post of rooting devices. I think all can be rooted. Unsure about Xposed.
There's also a built in pie type control.
I pulled the trigger on the 64gb version today. It's $20 off at newegg this weekend and my son had given me a newegg gift card for xmas. Bought what looks like an ok case on amazon - will be looking to see if seidio/trident/otterbox come out with one in the future.
Now just have to wait for my new toy to arrive .

You are probably talking about the home screen orientation, which for most launchers is by default locked to portrait.
But are you saying that, if you hold it in landscape, the Android settings is still in portrait?

Correction: Actually, system settings display in landscape. I had the portrait screen orientation setting locked.
If you don't have security enabled, does touching the fingerprint sensor when the screen is off turn it on?

But can you lock the orientation to landscape? Or it behaves like a (giant) phone: either auto-rotate, or just portrait?

I could not find a way to lock it with stock launcher. It can be locked in landscape with Action launcher and ADW launcher.

You can turn off the fingerprint ID so that it does not unlock and wake. However, the fingerprint touch pad continues to allow gestures once unlocked. I have not found a way to turn off security. I think I read you need to root before you can do this.

I'm not talking about the home screen (which is launcher dependent), but the "global" orientation.
For example, you're holding it in landscape with auto rotate on. Open Chrome. Swipe the notification shade, go to toggles, then toggle auto rotate off. Does Chrome remain in landscape, or it switches to portrait?

The button in the only has two options, auto rotate or portrait. So it locks both the homescreen and apps to portrait like lots of phones do.
Had the same problem with my old Galaxy Tab 7.7 and had to use an app to fix it.

@finduz answered this as I understand it.
Maybe it's just me and getting used to the larger screen - this is my first device with a screen larger than 5".
I find that when swiping away notifications, when swiping up to unlock the lockscreen, and when swiping down to expand the statusbar/quick settings, I often have to swipe multiple times because my initial swipe(s) are not quite long enough. I have found this to be true on OOS, and all custom ROMs that I've tried, so it's not ROM related - maybe hardware related, or it's just me?
Anyway, does anyone else share this struggle?
Any idea where the code/values can be found that control the distance required for a swipe gesture to be recognized? I would like to experiment with it.
Also, I wonder if it is DPI related? I run at 400 dpi (smallest width set to 432).
Definitely having the same "issue", just coming off a nexus 5 that never needed multiple swipes to get off the lockscreen or notifications
Give yourself a few weeks to see if you get used to it, that way you'll know for sure if it's just you or a hardware/software issue

I use DPI350 and everything its looks good
Is there a global variable that controls the minimum distance needed for a swipe gesture?
After a few months I'm still having occasional issues swiping away notifications and pulling down the quick settings.
Notification pull down is 2 pulls for full quick settings in OOS.. I've set it as shortcut to double tap back button or you can use nova gestures .. I use fingerprint sensor so never swiped up from lock screen..

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

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.

Can't, as far as I can tell. Apparently that's how people read time in other countries. Drives me nuts, but it is what it is.

It's weirder than that. The way my phone is set up, I rarely see my lock screen, so I assumed my lock screen was the same as my ambient screen. However, it's not. My lock screen has no leading 0, but my ambient screen does.
Edit: Thinking about it, it's not weird, I'm using lean launcher, and apparently the launcher doesn't control the ambient screen

Yep, the lockscreen has nothing to do with the launcher. I'm using Nova, but it's like that on the OP launcher as well.

Hi all,
I like the back store in gestures, butt I don't need it on the left only the right.
Anyway to disable it?
Cheers in advance
PS: would prefer a mod rather than an app or a file change.
Not sure how simple this is but there are a tonne of apps which have a swipe in gesture for side menus, the XDA app is one of them.
