OnePlus gestures in custom rom? - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

Hey guys, so I've had this 6t since launch, and haven't changed my rom yet for a couple reasons. First the finger print scanner is important to me, but also because I really like OnePlus' gestures in OOS! So my question is this:
Is it possible to get the OnePlus gestures working in a custom rom? Is it kernel based and if so, do any custom kernels here on XDA support it? Is it rom sided? Thanks guys!
The fingerprint issue will come in time I'm sure, but the OnePlus gestures are a must for me, I'm spoiled with them lol

Up the thread, I searched for something for the gestures but nothing works like stock, do you know any way to get them to work?
Thanks!

You need to have the OP launcher APK in the ROM (not necessarily as your main launcher) but it handles some of the gestures in the background.

Finger prints work on some recent roms. As of myself I check youtube reviews of roms before trying it. May be there is some rom which has what you're looking for.
I've been using ViperOS. It is pretty good. It has both working fp and navigation gestures (If that's what you're looking for). Not as impressive as OOS though. You can give it a try.

Most of the custom ROMs already include the OOS off-screen gestures. For example Havoc and OMNI-Rom. It works quite good, not that perfect as in original ROM but good to go.

For custom ROMs I recommend fluid navigation gestures. They are almost as snappy as stock and fully customizable. Root required.

what about support for oxygen cam in custom roms ?

If you use Magisk you can install Oxyfy.

Most tons for the last year have had fingerprint scanner working. And also include oos navigation and screen off gestures. Not 100% the same but my experience with them had been they worked just fine. Screen off gestures annually worked better for me in custom that oos.

Finding the right ROM for me

so what i really like in my stock 4.4.2 is the knock on /off and I tried CM 10.2 but sadly I noticed I dont have knock off...
I want a simple rom...I like how nexus clean version of android looks and feels..I want a minimalistic rom...
I really liked the option in the oneplus one to drow a pattern when the screen is of and activate a certian app if theres a rom wich include it ill like to hear(I guess maybe CM 11 but I havent tried it yet becuse its still in nightly version)
I have a VS980, and I have flashed most of the ROMs available in the dev section for it. I don't believe that any AOSP-based ROM is going to have knock-off, so you would have to use one of the stock based (such as Malladus or XDABBEB). These in general aren't going to have minimalist look of AOSP based ROMs though.
Your other choice is to run an AOSP ROM with Xposed. I know that the Xposed GEL Settings module has an option to set double-tap to an action, though that may be a premium feature you have to donate to receive (which I recommend anyway, as it is an amazing module).

Paranoid Android has knock on + knock off (you have to use the notification bar; doesn't work anywhere else as far as I know).

yeah but i dont want to reach every time...and it wont be comftrable while driving for example
Another option, if you're OK with using a launcher other than the GEL, is to install the Apex launcher. I believe it gives you desktop knock off in its free version.
Using this launcher, you can use any ROM you'd like, as long as it provides knock on. I think most ROMs for the G2 provide that.

I think you should search for voice controlled apps and such. I don't know if Google Voice can help you.

Soft navigation buttons "One button Nav" in custom ROMs

I like the Moto G5p feature "One button Nav". Is this still available on custom roms ? .
Clarification of what I am referring to - it replaces the Back:Home:Menu (triangle:circle:square)soft buttons with swipe gestures on the finger print sensor.
I would like to know that too. As far as I know, it's not available in any other custom roms.
It is available on every (or almost every) custom rom.

Thanks Washoq, How does one go about enabling it in the ones you have seen it in ?

Can confirm in nearly every ROM. Usually in the settings application under either gestures or buttons.

I have my Moto G5+ for around 3 days, today I'm getting stable with Ressurection Remix, Magisk working well, Android Pay also, and your features are there too. I just can't figure how to make 1080p 60fps recording, but everything else is flying. cheers

OOS or Pure Fusion, or another?

Hi, I've bought my OP5 a couple of weeks ago and I'm looking for a ROM with a little bit of more customizability but still being google stock like. One of my major peeves with OOS is the DND mode, it can't be scheduled and media isn't silenced, so I'd like a ROM where I can change that, also proximity wake.
I was thinking about Pure Fusion, what do you think? How's the battery? Bugs? Stability?
All comparing to OOS of course, I want something better. Not really looking to theme my phone or anything.
If you have another suggestions, they are most welcome!
Thanks!
I'm on Pure Fusion and it's my favourite ROM by far. It offers more customization than OOS and I haven't experienced any bugs (yet). My device did reboot randomly once but I don't know if it was ROM related or maybe an app.
As for the whole DND thing, I unfortunately do not know because I use the app Tasker to automate all my DND/Ringer/Vibrate mode settings. I think there is some DND configuration though, but don't quote me on that.
You will get a pretty stock feel with it as well, as it is an AOSP ROM and if you ever do decide to theme in the future, you will have full Substratum support!

Thank you for your answer! Could you check on the DND thing really quickly? Just put it on DND mode and check if the keyboard, for example, makes any sound when typing, or things like that. Or you can try locking/unlocking your device, see if you hear the locking/unlocking sound. Also, see if it can turn itself on by setting an hour for example.
It would really mean a lot to me!
Oh, one more thing I REALLY hate about OOS, when listening to music through bluetooth, I can BARELY hear notification sounds, does that happen with Pure Fusion?
Thanks again!

Miui : notifications problems. How to solve this ?

Hi,
Since i've bought this device, i'm happy with it regarding the price and the overall quality. But one thing is bothering me each day a little more : the notifications. One day i receive them all, no problem, next day i'm not informed for a new snap, next day with whatsapp, receiving Gmail notif 1h later after receiving the mail... Very annoying !!
I've tried stock Miui, EU china and EEA global... can't see any improvement, still not regular... I love Miui full gestures and still want it, custom roms have problem with gcam and whatsapp video call, i use both of them each day... i've seen custom miui rom but all in russian... not that much info... is it really safe to use them ? I'm a hard user of google products, from phone to youtube, maps, gmail, agenda, drive...
Is debloating with Saki tool a way to solve those problems ? any others ideas guys ?
I've heard about this issue so much. It seems to be a problem with MIUI and I've not seen a fix for it. I can recommend custom roms where the Gcam/Whatsapp video issue is reportedly fixed though. Pixel Experience (non-CAF version) and Lineage OS (by letsmakecakes) reported that they have fixed these issues. You can try them as I've read they have good battery life too (reportedly better than MIUI). I'm currently on Syberia and waiting for these fixes to be ported to other roms too, which i think will happen soon.
One advice if you switch to Custom roms; don't flash custom kernels. Stick with the one provided in the rom. I've had huge battery drains with evira 3.8 and 4.1.
Yes, i've just seen that the PE rom seems to have both working now !! i think i'm gonna try it or another solid rom (love AEX !!) as soon as it's confirmed it works. For the full nav gestures, any advice ? it's the thing which make me stick to Miui too : a REAL full screen with perfect getures within have to move my hand to the bottom of the phone each 15 sec

The edge gestures implemented in rom in my experience are a bit laggy but you can always use an app like ubikitouch or fluid navigation gesture to solve the problem

I've tried a few roms (AOSPX, Havoc, LOS, Bootleggers, Descendant, crDroid and now Syberia) and almost -if not- all of them had fullscreen navigation options built in. Personally, I am using "Navigation Gestures - Swipe Gesture Controls!" by XDA on play store. I paid for the app but it's cheap and works increadibly reliable. Even the free version should have more customizations than MIUI. (Don't use hide navbar option in the app, disable nav bar in the ROM settings)

Great !!! I will wait for the next PE stable build and gonna give a try to it ! I've seen Havoc and others have added in changelog "remove hal3/hal1 switch" : are they working on this fix too ?

I sure hope so. The fixes should be open and shared among the xda developers. I'm sure every maintainer would like to implement this fix on their next update.

Raise to wake - Custom ROM

I've noticed that the RN7 'raise to wake' option is absent on almost any custom rom I've tested yet.
Are there any that support it or is there a way to get it back (without external apps)?
Using PixelExperience at the moment

Even if it is present in some custom ROMs (I can't remember which ones exactly) it turns on the screen about 1.5 seconds after lifting the phone. So it's not instant like it is in MIUI. This feature is the sole reason I sometimes consider switching back to MIUI, but as soon as I remember what a mess MIUI notifications are, I decide to stay on AOSP.

I'm also running Pixel Experience on the Redmi Note 7, and at first I thought I'd miss the raise-to-wake feature from MIUI. However, when I saw how often my index finger would accidentally touch the fingerprint reader and unlock my phone as I picked it up, I realized that raise-to-wake is nice but unnecessary. Simply put, with a properly functioning rear-mounted fingerprint reader, you don't need raise-to-wake.
