Hey guys.
When the OP6 originally came out, it had Always-On Display enabled which was then ported back to 5&5T because Oxygen OS was so similar on the devices.
Just a shot in the dark here, could the same logic be applied to implement navigation gestures on the OnePlus 5 natively? (XDA's NAV Gestures is good and all, but still).
If not possible, feel free to explain why to me. I want to learn something from this.

Huawei's other flagship phone Honor 7 has some of the craziest features, i was wondering if most are software based, like the tap and swiping gestures in the similarly positioned fingerprint scanner behind for notif. bar pull down or page scrolling etc etc... is it possible to implement it on the nexus 6p? i reallyy hope someone says yes.
I've been wondering the same thing. The 6P's scanner is the same square sensor on Huawei's other devices, I would think the software features just need to be implemented somehow.
Wondering that too. Would love those gestures on nexus 6p
Is there any option to make iPhone X gestures on S8
Which gestures do you mean exactly?
There is no nav bars . Only gestures. When you close an app, only scroll up from bottom of screen. Or when you scroll up half, it shows recently used apps. Like these. By this way , nav bar doesn't fill a place at screen.
You could hide the navbar by pressing the dot in the left.
For the rest, I think it COULD be possible to do that kind of gestures in some custom rom.
That's my first rom without custom rom so I cannot speak for that but in my past phones, most times there was an option for that. You could hide the status bar, the navbar and could save some custom gestures like the one you want.
I highly doubt that anyone will do an iOS-like rom. That's just not a thing the wide community wants. You could also just sell your S8 and buy yourself the iPhone X. That would be the best option.
Why you need them?
You've problems with your nav bar?
We have nav bar and we don't need them
If this is not the case, I would suggest you to sell s8 and purchase a X
I don't like nav bar placing screen. That's all.
Just use navbar hider APK or 0pt navbar apk and download all in one gestures from the playstore or personally my favorite simple control and voila oh and enable all full screen apps to get rid of that stupid white tap her to fill screen bull****.
I'm sure that alternative navbar are coming with an iphoneX-like style
But if you don't want to wait, just use some gestures apps from the play store
When Blackberry 10 came out with these gestures in 2013, it wasn't as popular, but when Apple copies it, it becomes an interesting invention. When first iPhone came out, then others were trying to catch up, but for few years it is the opposite. So we need to look what is ahead and not at the past.
Hide navbar/status bar permanently

For gestures, download Nova Launcher Prime and assign gesture controls. In fact, get that set up before ditching the nav bar

There are many apps that offer 3rd party gesture based navigation. Among these are a slew of iPhone X gesture clones. Worth noting: iPhone X gestures are not ideal for the S8, as swiping up will cause the navbar to reappear. There is a way of permanently hiding the navbar, but it does not work on Oreo.

Just to preface, I'm not a developer but I'm trying to learn more about how developing ROMs works.
Back in the day, mostly on my other phones (e.g. LG G2 and older ones) with some of the crazier custom ROMs like Resurrection Remix and DirtyUnicorns, they'd be chock full of weird features that I imagine the majority of people never used but I loved them. Most notably Pie Controls and navigation bar tweaks where you could set 3 to 5 targets in a ring that you swipe up from the home button to jump to apps or actions, from any screen. Probably the single most useful tweak in any ROM I can remember.
I know Oreo roms are still in their infancy, but how does adding features to a ROM like Pie controls and expanded desktop etc work? Is there any way at all I could compile a flashable zip to add those myself, or or those things that have to be baked into the source of a custom ROM? Just haven't seen them in any new roms in the past couple years.

Well ok Nougat, but what about any Oreo ROMs?
I'm really wondering if there's a way to modularly add entire feature blobs like that to any given ROM. Kinda Xposed-style.

No
LMT launcher is great for pie controls. Doesn't display all icons correctly in Oreo, but still functions otherwise, and developer says an update is coming soon.
Don't get me wrong, I love the app and the idea. It's just the description in the Google play store seems stupid to me. Here is what I'm talking about;
Code:
KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
Unfortunately, XDA isn't God. As such, we are limited in what we can and cannot do. Please read this!
- There is no way to make a space for the pill
- We cannot detect the presence of a keyboard
- We cannot directly detect changes in full screen mode
- Screen off and screenshot actions are only possible with root
My problem is with the first two "restrictions" which I feel like there are ways around.
First off the space for the pill....
Instead of disabling the nav bar with this adb command:
Code:
adb she'll am overscan 0,0,0,-202
You could leave it there and disable each individual button on the nav bar. I know this can be done because this is a feature of Custom Navbar app (Screenshots for proof). Then you could display the pill Navbar overtop of the empty space. You can display stuff over the Navbar. Rounded screen corner apps do this. If you did this the keyboard would display above the Navbar, and then you wouldn't have that issue either. It just seems like they don't want to try it....
And what's up with "this app doesn't work on Android P Dev preview? The command I listed earlier works fine when you turn off the gesture Navbar. Have they changed the way overlays work in Android P? I don't think so because all in one gestures still works.
I am honestly thinking of using Tasker scene to create my own pill Navbar above the blank Navbar as a proof of concept.
I tried to use it and these are my openions
It also overlapsthe screen content
Having a pill is pointless, it exists now only as a step to the no pill nav gestures that are going to be in Android Q. Can't alienate casual users by changing too much too fast unless your Apple after all. However that may be there are a half dozen apps on the market that do what they say can't be done; OnePlus gestures for example that costs you a buck fifty. Color me unimpressed with the XDA gestures.
Also got it to ignore that I was on Android P and let me set up the app. Screen shots of it working on Android P
I've come from an AOSP rom and the only thing that really annoys me about this handset is that motorola took away the ability to activate the stock Pie two button navigation feature in Gestures and replaced it with Moto Actions.
Does anyone know of a way of getting this back? I have looked at other pill options, but can't find anything that is the same. I'm on a rooted device.
To be honest,.after about 3-4 hours after purchasing I got use to the Moto Launcher apk pill. Gestures are taking a little time getting use too...
The Pix3lify module in Magisk will add it. That's what I use and it works great with no issues.
