I was disappointed to find that in Pie there is no back gesture.
I have two questions regarding this
1. is there any way to add a left swipe action (back) to the pill? and
b. is there any way to customize gestures for the fingerprint reader? I can't get third-party fingerprint reader apps to work.
I am locked and not rooted

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.

no the Next lockscreen apps is quite customizable its overright the zte lockscreen straight away and not drain your phone battery whatsoever
There are several apps that are suppose to work with the fingerprint sensor to add gestures, but I think because the Note 4 has the older swipe fingerprint method, none of them work.
Is there a way to make use of the fingerprint sensor?
I can already create gestures other ways, but the fingerprint would be useful for gestures such as scrolling, volume control, media playback control etc.

I was looking for it, too.
I think it needs a new API, which comes only in Android 7...so, Note 4 hasn't received Nougat, the old API won't work for gestures or actions using the fingerprint sensor...only to unlock the phone.
Don't know if Nougat custom roms for Note 4 have the new API implemented, if so, then it will work...since these roms can offer fingerprint unlock like stock roms...
I remember when I first got the G4 Plus , running Android 6.0, a tap on the fingerprint scanner revealed the on screen navigation buttons, similar to a swipe gesture from the edge of the screen, while in immersive mode. Is there a way to enable it manually?
Will you be using the new features that eliminate the nav buttons? although you loose the long press options on nav bar
why not
I like the new feature, but I badly miss the menu function (long press} of old navbar, OnePlus should add this function as additional gesture
I liked it, but it's a bit bare now and needs a few preferences to suit everyone.
I admit I was skeptical at first about the swipe navigation posts earlier, but I now can see the benefits.
it's great except for Back not being responsive enough, Home is good
Yes I'd love to replace my Xposed Edge + GMD Gestures combo with a stock feature, but only if we are able to customise the duration of the animations / duration of long press, and if we can enable and disable individual gestures independently. Because the back gestures are wacky, the other ones are good except for the sluggish animations.
Very nice this gestures but have some little bugs:
1. Back gesture not work very good.
2. Can't start Google assistant (long press home button ???) - partial resolve by: "OK Google" or Nova Launcher
3. Same situation on Recent and back button (long press actions) bye bye
The back gesture is not fast enough.
However, gestures are interruptive and fun to use.
I still would love to have the disappearing nav-bar with a simple toggle to bring it up and take it down.
If there was an option to go back to last app with no waiting time it would have been great. For now I will switch to stable or different rom.
I would definitely prefer the back gestures as is on iPhone or Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 (Maybe more models too), just sliding from the left side of the screen or right side of the screen. It is a way easier and more reliable than now.
I like a lot the new gestures feature, like someone said in the previous responses, some customization for the gestures will be greatly appreciated.
No because I use a very similar just MUCH more cutomisable method with better results.
I disabled Nav bar using jOneplustools app via new quick settings option and use this app instead. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ation&hl=en_GB
called: Swipe Navigation
FULLY customisable long press actions and sensitivity. Compatible with most roms and quick and easy to set up.
I jumped on the bandwagon of the prime day PH-1 and picked one up. I ran through all of the updates and turned on the fingerprint sensor gestures but they aren't working. fingerprint for unlock works just fine though. I've rebooted several times and done a hard reset to no avail. Am I out of luck here?
Thanks
If you updated to Android Pie you have to enable gestures. Burried all the way in the system tab at the bottom of settings.
What do they do? I find the sensor is not in a good place for gestures.
I love the apps oneplus gestures and hide nav bar though. Gives same gestures as op6 and hides nav bar for full screen.
Shame they are not built in along with double tap to wake and skip lock screen after face unlock.
On the Essential its just to pull down the notification shade.

I was just about to start searching for this feature. Coming from the Pixel 2 XL I realized I didn't really need it but just wanted to have it lol. This phone is really nice too bad there won't be a second one
