Split-screen Gesture in Nougat Beta
The beta Nougat update has a new gesture added for split screen. When this setting is activated, you can drag your knuckle across the screen and it will go into split-screen mode. Obviously split-screen is a feature exclusive to nougat so that's why you wont find this in your marshmallow firmware. Here are some screenshots of what it looks like.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The split in the apps is determined by where you drag your finger across. Not a huge deal but kind of a cool feature.
Thats a good feature
@DrGreenway could u kindly create one single topic for this instead of xx Multiple ones?
I found out that there are actually 4 ways to launch the split-screen mode :
The knuckle gesture, as explained in the first post,
or Open an App then long press the "recent apps" button :

or Use 2 fingers to slide up from the bottom :

or finally, in the "recent apps" screen, simply long press one of the app and drag it to the top :

split screen has been on honor phones for ages, the gesture is pretty useless ad long pressing the multitasking is easier
It is, but it's still a nice way to activate multo-window.
Plus it's integrated in Android now.

I find the virtual buttons a bit of a nuisance, I would much rather use gestures. I originally wanted to hide them only on my home screen, but it seems it's all or nothing with qemu.hw.mainkeys in build.prop.
I'm fine getting rid of them, however I'm wondering if there is a gesture system I can have instead, for example a swipe from bottom takes me to the home screen?
Edit: I'm on rooted stock 4.3.
I'm using cataclysm ROM which has a unique feature which fades out the buttons after ten seconds in any app. Other wise I think there's an xposed module that can have swipes to navigate.

Thanks man, turns out I was Googling for the wrong thing - once I figured out that they were called navigation bars I came across an app called " GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys" for rooted devices. (For future people)
I'd rather keep with rooted stock for now but I will be sure to keep an eye on it for when I decide to dabble in roms.
I'm sick of modern UI styles. The worst thing about 'em is "Hamburger menu".
1) It's button is in FAR LEFT corner of the screen. Of my 4.8" screen! And there are 6"+ screens already.
2) Oh, you think "there is a gesture to open the menu if you don't like the button". But it's conflicting with PIVOTS!
So... I made an example app with a usable interface. And I release it as a source so YOU, developers, can use it. No license, you're free to use it as you want (without warranty of any kind of course). However I'll be happy if you mention me in about page of your app.
First of all screenshots:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What's done:
1) Menu button moved to the bottom.
2) First (and most used menu item) is lowest. ListBox is upside down.
3) No gestures.
4) No pages with crazy navigation history. Most used features are on main page, others are on external pages.
5) Each PivotItem can easily have its own AppBar (it's not system AppBar).
I have more ideas and this project will evolve for some time.
Now, the source: https://github.com/LONELY-WOLF/InterfaceSample
Added "..." button with menu. Style is ugly for now.
Hamburger now closes if you tap right from it.
One of the Core feature of Honor 7 is its great Fingerprint sensor and integrated it with different actions in EMUI.
Below are few amazing things which one can do with One Touch on Fingerprint sensor.
My Favorite : Take Phone/Video, (so convenient than touching the capture button onscreen). Whats yours?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Back to home + Show recent apps (+ Touchplus app) and good bye onscreen navigation bar
Most used was tap to go back once. Don't know why they removed it. It was so convenient especially for someone with small palms like me

The following are the off screen gestures available in Honor 5X
1. Double Touch to wake - Just double tap on the screen to wake up
2. Draw - This allows you to draw letters on the screen to open a specific app
Currently Draw supports 4 letters c,e,m and w. This may increase in the future with further updates. You can associate any apps to the above mentioned letters.
For example: If C is associated to dialer. You can draw ‘c’ on the screen of the Honor 5X with the display switched off to open the Dialer app.
How to Enable ?
Settings > Motion Control > Configure the Screen off gestures

In order to avoid the accidental gestures when we are not intended to do actually, EMUI has a feature called Touch Disable Mode. This allows us to prevent the device from being mistakenly turn ON when we have smart gestures turned ON. It would detect whether your phone is in your hand or not. i.e when the mobile is kept inside handbags, purse or pockets, the gestures won't work.
How to enable?
1. Go to the settings
2. Select More option in the smart assistance section.
3. Toggle the touch-disable mode to ON / OFF.
Hello!
I am planning to buy a new LG G6 however I am visually imparied so I need to use the Magnifier feature.
From 8.0 Oreo they implemented a new way to launch the magnifier. It is called Magnify with Button. When enabled a new icon should appear on the navigation bar's right side. When you tap on the new icon and then somewhere on the screen, the screen should be magnified. Tap again on the new Icon on the nav bar and the magnification is finished
I know the 3 tap magnification works on the G6, however I am not sure if this new accessibility button does. I really need this new option to launch the magnifier because pressing a button on the nav bar is way faster than triple tapping.
Can someone please test it for me? I am asking you because this feature only works on certain smartphones (works on samsung,sony but does not work on huawei or xiaomi)
Thank you very much for your help in advance!!!
ps: this feature is what I am talking about:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
LG calls this feature “Touch zoom“ and it works.
Hope it helps you.
I didn't find such a button on my lg g6 with oreo.
You can configure the home button : with a triple tap on it, it launches a magnified window. I'm not sure it would be very helpful...
