So I really like the Gesture Navigation. But the Swipe up to Go Home animation is slow and even slower for Nova launcher. Is there anyway to remove that animation?
I'm using Nova Prime (beta) and haven't seen any speed issues with the home nav gesture. Have you thought about adjusting your animation scales inside the Developer options?

Yes I do have that...are you using gestures? If yes, what's your animation when you swipe from center to go home? And where does the animation end? Middle of the screen or the app you had open?

See that janky animation where it takes you home on swipe up. Its better in OOS where it minimizes to your current app...

Is it janky? I guess the settings on the screen record may be showing it a bit janky but to my eyes it seems rather smooth.
To make it a bit smoother, I increased the animations to 1.5x Instead of 1.0x feels a lot better to my eyes. Try it out.

Cool tip on the dbl-menu, thanx!
NoLock would probably work to get rid of it, then you could install something like WidgetLocker.
I've found that pressing the menu button once flips up the lock screen, I have the Australian version of the S7.
I like the lock pattern better than the lock screen. Also it keeps unwanted visitors out !!!!

You realize the full screen includes the side home screens to the left and right of the main home screen? Did you swipe over to the sides to see the rest of the image?

Use a third party launcher like Apex or Nova. There is a setting that will allow the wallpaper to all be on screen and not move when scrolling.

First off the S8+ is gorgeous yada yada.....but here are some of my observations.
a) Notifications show at top as an icon but there is no preview, floating notification or anything of the sort to let me know if I care or not about the notification without pulling the tray.
b) Tray is white and hard to read. There doesn't seem to be clear breaks in between the notifications so everything runs together rather than a hard line separation.
c) The notifications on the lock screen are simply small icons with no detail, even though I have the "Notifications Icons only" unchecked in settings
d) Touchwiz doesn't rotate to landscape. Everything is customizable enough so Samsung doesn't have me running to replace with a launcher but I need it to rotate. May revert back to Nova......
I have the same issue with a). For c) double tap the home button and it takes you to lock screen with notifications. The icons are for AOD.

My complaints so far are Fingerprint scanner location, and the Bixby button. Why not just make an app for Bixby? If it's good, people will use it. If not, it's cause it sucks. To add a physical button locked to Bixby is just friggin lazy. Apple wouldn't even do that.
Update:
Thanks for the tip on the double tap of the home button on the lock screen.
Another issue is there is no way to programatically pull down the tray without dislocating my thumb. I installed a third party floating widget that fixes this.

Swipe down on the fingerpint sensor and it brings the notification shade down and you can swipe it back up. Very h andy

Nova and other third party launchers let you pull down the tray by swiping down anywhere on the screen.
Go to touchwiz settings, enable the apps button (this disables the pull down to apps). The pull down gesture will now open app the notification tray.
Where do you even find TouchWiz settings?

Right, but we are talking about swiping down on the screen to get the notification tray, not the fingerprint reader, which does not appear possible like one user said it would.

Hello World!
I'm using the stock OP6 launcher, and it's fantastic. But I have a quick question. Is there any way to modify the launcher to shrink the space between the dock and the navbar ? I'm rooted.
I attached a picture to be more conclusive.
Thank you for your time.
Not that I know of but would be nice
Changing the home screen folder display would be great too. You can change icon packs all day but are stuck with a grey circle folder.

Get Nova launcher and solve all your launcher issues.
How did you get that many apps in your dock? I'm stuck with 5 on stock and can't add any more

You need root. I found a post on the forums on how to edit the navbar. I'll reply if I'll found it.
+1 from me on this one.
I have Nova Prime, but I like the app closing animations of the OnePlus launcher - particularly if you use Navigation Gestures instead of nav buttons.

Doesn't fix the issue. The guestures, while good, are the portal between you and what your interacting with on the glass and need to be perfect, which the OnePlus one's aren't. The y miss animations, are buggy and then the keyboard is lower. I'm using buttons because while guestures are better they just need to be 100 per cent polished otherwise it ruins interacting with the phone.

I've been using OnePlus gestures for several weeks. Took a couple days to get used to it since I'm used to the buttons but I can say I have never once had them mess up. I still occasionally just tap the bottom right corner to try and go back though. Many years of buttons makes it a strange transition, but imo they are perfect.

I know gesture navigation in 3rd party launchers is suppose to work on oneui 2.5 on note 20 ultra. But it doesn't work very well at all.
1. Swiping up to get to recent apps is not a very smooth animation, but worse is that the current app gets positioned in the middle rather than to the right, so quick switching is cumbersome.
2. Trying to use the swipe right on the bottom for previous app is a buggy mess. It's unsmooth and pops in the recent view briefly. Often you get stuck and cannot use the app you switched to, needing to swipe back and switch back and forth to get normal operation again. After trying to use these swipe right/left gestures to quick switch apps, you cannot scroll through the recent apps view quicky anymore, one swipe always mean moving one app to the left or right no matter how strong the swipe. This stays until rebooting.
It's a buggy mess, is there any way to fix this? I'm using Nova, but the problems are the same on all 3rd party launchers.
it might be improved with Android 11
I'm using lawnchair and don't have any of your issues. Only issue swipe to home conflicts with swipe up for app draw.
Everything else works fine. I do think recents menu trigger too easily tho. I get into it when I'm trying to go home.

Oh. I'll have a look at lawn chair and compare the experience. Seems strange how there would be different results in different launchers. Trier Microsoft launcher and it worked the same. I'll make a video of the issues if they turn out being the same on lawn chair.
I just installed the Microsoft Launcher and yeah quite some few animations are missing, plus recent apps are showed blank until I swipe between them.

This is one of the bugs when using a 3rd party launcher and from my understanding, it doens't matter WHICH 3rd party launcher: they all exhibit this behavior when using gestures.

Oh so the good lock task changer is working better in this regard? That's interesting. Is the quick task changer working better too? (swiping right or left on the bottom, browsing previous apps without going through the recent screen)
Is the good lock task changer available for oneui 2.5?

I don't have any issues so you can give it a try and see how it goes. Yes, its all in the good lock app.
But animations are part of the launcher so its totally normal that you won't get the same effect from a third party launcher. My gestures work fine with Nova. No issues here. Animations are different but its a different launcher so that's to be expected too.

Looks interesting but there are missing features like a swiping left or right to move between previous apps, also there's usually issues specific to this kind of solution. Haven't tried it though. It may be a viable alternative.
This app compare with the other has an advantage, that you set up the app how you want to. if you want to have left or right to go back to last apps you can do it. Like for example I have it for mine
Bottom center click
Go home
Bottom center click and hold
Google Assistant
Bottom center swipe up
Recent apps
Bottom center swipe left
Go back to last app
Bottom left swipe up
Last app
Bottom right swipe up
Recent apps
Buttom Left and right side of screen
Go Back
Top Left and right side of screen
Lauch apps
All but the buttom center are transparent
I'm using a combination of Nova gestures and One Hand Operation+, set system navigation to buttons, double tap navigation bar to hide system buttons.
Swipe up from bottom and nav / home button appears.
Use side swipe in OHO+ for back and switcher.
Use nova on home screen, swipe down for app search, swipe up for switcher, double tap home screen for notification / quick settings.

Just tried swiping right in Nova and you are totally right it is glitchy. Unfortunately it summons the recents functionality and your left with a hybrid of recents and previous page so i can swipe up to close a page thats in full size. I had never noticed because i dont really use that functionality.

For those that cannot run Good Lock (such as myself, since it is not running in my country) you can give Nice Lock a try, helps you run Good lock services anywhere
One Hand Operation+ works very well and uses very little battery.
Try clearing the system cache on the boot menu, my favorite gremlin exterminator.
I'm running nova. Not getting any bugs or errors.
