Recent Apps On Home Button?

Does anyone know how to set the home button so when you long press it, it will send you to your recent apps menu? Before I rooted the phone when I long pressed the home button it would open the recent apps menu? But ever since I rooted it only opens up Google now, or a single click opens up Magazine? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

I wonder how or why root affected this?

Did you install Xposed framework by any chance?

You can turn off hard keys. (sm-p600 mk1)

Sorry if this is old news but I seen a few people asking if you could disable these especially over at the clean Rom thread cause the developer included soft keys in the rom. Anyways again I'm sorry if this is old news but you go to accessibility/access control. It then walks you through a series of steps like if you want certain parts of the screen to not be affected by touch and so on. I thought this was pretty sweet. Not sure if it's for all models and firmware but worth a shot!

I'm on stock and I can't find Access Control in Accessibility. Is this a CleanRom only feature?

No... I'm stock right now. I don't remember seeing it before so not sure how I got it there. Maybe from exposed?

It's all the way at the very bottom of Accessibility. It is listed under Recognition. Turn it on. Then hold down the home button and and volume down to enter the wizard.
It should be helpful for when I do note taking at a meeting so I don't have to worry about touching the physical buttons. But for Button Savior Pro it disables the Home, Menu and Back so it's not something I can have on all the time. Plus the notification drawer cannot be interacted with anymore while this mode is on.

It can if you have nova launcher pro. With a gesture. The notification drawer that is...

I can open the drawer just fine. You just can't touch any of the notifications after you open the drawer.

Weird... Did you x out of the past that says disable parts of the screen with touch? Wonder why it does that.

Disable Navbar and Keep Active Edge [Root]

Now that we have root via Magisk on Pixel 2 XL, the Navbar can be removed while keeping Active Edge in tact.
1. Open a file manager (I use fx), and Grant root access
2. Mount system as rw
3. Edit build.prop
4. Add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" to the end of the build.prop file
5. Reboot and enjoy
This is confirmed working on 8.0 November update, but there's no reason why it wouldn't work on the old 8.0 or 8.1 DP1.
I use Unique Controls Pie to navigate.

And there aren't any random force closes?

I've had zero issues so far.
I was actually surprised that Active Edge still worked. Leads me to believe that disabling it in immersive mode was a conscious choice by Google. Not sure why they'd do that, but seems that the ability to activate it isn't tied solely to whether or not the Navbar is on screen.
Assistant, and everything else, is running just fine with Navbar hidden. No issues with Unique Gestures either across multiple reboots (I was installing some modules with Magisk so had to reboot a few times.)

You're right! Looks like the old method works again ! Thanks man. Great find

Thank you! Using this with Swipe Navigation gives the screen a much bigger look to it.

Man I want to go back to using immersive mode but there are too many times when the phone takes to long to come out of sleep or the screen doesn't come back on unless I double tap power to turn on the camera. Anyone figure out the reason for that?

If you want your NavBar gone, I can do it for the old fashion way, by editing your framework-res.apk and SystemUIGoogle.apk if you will upload those for me. I already have it for September but not November update.

I use the advance command and it works good enough. Just the freeze ups are an annoyance. What is your method? Gone completely?

Yes, gone completely.

The method described in my post disables the Navbar completely and has not caused any of the slow wake up issues seen with using the adb command to enter immersive mode.

Fantastic! Thanks!

Navigation Geatures question.

For those that are using the navigation gestures. Have you noticed that the back button on the right or left stops working. Only gesture that works is the swipe home.

Everything is fine on my phone. Stock ROM, blu.spark kernel, rooted, OOS 9.0.5.

Haven't had any problems here either, working as it should the whole time

I am on stock 9.0.5 and it happens every once in awhile.

I've been using gestures nav since I got the device 2 days ago and so far I haven't had any issues with it.

I just had the issue 5 minutes ago. The back just stops working. I get the haptic feedback but does nothing. Only swipe to go home works. After I go home it starts working again.

No running stock dark theme. I went into recovery and cleared the cache.

How can I backup everything and do a factory reset? Then restore everything back.

Can I use the OnePlus switch app. It has an option to backup and restore.

9.0.5 here and no issues with gestures.

Can you someone please confirm that the switch to the previous app gesture doesn't work in landscape mode?

That could be the app that you were running at the time. They can override the default behaviour of the back button. Can you remember what app you were using? I know for a fact I have a few apps that make you press back twice before they will exit.

The nice and quick "drag and throw" kind of gesture doesn't work in landscape, if that's what you're referring to. You just get the recent apps list and select the last app from there.

Actually the gestures stay in portrait mode when the screen rotates.

Yes, which is how you can bring up the recent apps list, but you can't do the quick throw gesture to toggle the last app, like you can in portrait.

I thought the same maybe it was one app causing the issue but it stopped working in different apps.

Too bad you can't do this with the Google gestures. With the Oneplus gestures I miss the toggle to turn screen off [emoji16]

I am wondering if Textra is the issue. Is anyone using Textra? Or is everyone using stock messaging app?

Mines doesn't turn on but itself but When I'm laying in bed sideways for some reason my phone thinks I should auto rotate my screen ? I usually get this little screen turn icon on the bottom right which I always accidentally press it with my hand since I'm right handed because of the edge screen... Drives me nuts! It might be the culprit to your problem
Edit: I'm using the xda app and the download button is blocking the icon. I'm sure you would be able to see it in desktop or something

Cheers for the help, but yeh i know how to do it, use it all the time to get to the settings part quicker. It just doesn't work, it'll just vibrate and do nothing unfortunately. Even tried searching in setting for it and it doesn't show up on my phone, sounds like maybe they removed it? Ended up downloading an app from the play store that pops up a floating rotate button if I rotate the phone, which gives me the option of turning it on or off from there. Only pops up when the phone is rotated, so it's not there all the time which I like.
