Might be an obvious question....but nothing is obvious with Google considering that they removed this option from the Pixel 3 in Android 9 (stock version). But later was added (as far as I know) in Android 10.
Could anyone confirm if the Pixel 4 has 3-button navigation in Settings?
I tried Gesture Navigation (and I'm still swiping left to go back, so I got used to it pretty much). But I always go back to 3-button navigation, because I'm faster and happier with the old classic navbar. So this is a critical feature for me
Thanks!
Ok apparently it has
- Gesture navigation
- 3-Button navigation

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.

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 read several days ago about how the pixel 4/4xl already allows third party launchers to use the native gestures.
I also read that you need to have gestures enabled in order to utilize the new google assistant.
My question is has anyone that has received their new pixel used nova launcher (my all-time fave), enabled native gestures and was able to utilize the new google assistant?
My new 4xl is on a truck for delivery today and I'm pretty excited.
I'm coming from the 3xl so I know it's not a huge upgrade, but I think there's enough to make me happy with the decision.
TIA
I received my Pixel 4 on Tuesday and can confirm that Nova Launcher works wonderfully with Gesture Navigation / Control... as well as Nova's Google Now Companion & Sesame Shortcuts. I came from the Pixel 3 and absolutely LOVE the 4. It does still have dual stereo speakers, with one firing at the bottom / side but it's not noticeable when watching or listening to media.
Battery life is meh for now, so I turned off a few things to help. Motion Sense is wonky for me but Face Unlock is super nice. I just single tap my screen and vuala! Unlocked if I'm looking at it. Also noted is to find and set the active screen setting where it doesn't dim all the damn time if you're looking at it.

Thanks for the quick reply but does the new google assistant, that's exclusive to the pixel 4/4xl, work together with nova launcher?
TIA

That's great news.
Thanks so much for the quick reply.
No matter how hard I try, and I've tried many different launchers over the years, I can' stay away from Nova.
It just fits the way I use my phone perfectly.
Thanks again and enjoy your new toy. I should have mine by early this afternoon.

Thanks.
I know I did a duplicate post in the 4 and 4xl forums and appreciate the quick responses.
This is great news and I had not seen this particular question asked anywhere.
Good luck to all!

How were you able to get this working? My nova launcher says gestures aren't supported and I can't find a setting for my Home app. Pixel 4XL

Sorry for the slow reply, been working a LOT lately. I didn't do anything special to get it working. I'm using Nova Launcher, which said gestures aren't supported as well, but then I enabled it in the system settings, Gestures, System Navigation, Gesture Navigation. I also had to manually set Nova as my Home Screen in system settings, Apps & Notifications, Advanced, Default Apps, Home App. Once that was set in there, boom, done, working... and lemme tell you, after about 10 minutes of fiddling with it and adjusting... it's great! Swipe from left side of any screen = "back" button... swipe up is Home, swipe up and hold a brief moment is running apps, swipe left or right will switch between open apps quickly, swipe up from either corner from home screen and it opens Assistant... good stuff. Not sure if there's more, but that's what I know.
[SYSTEM NAVIGATION] Any way to enable the "Pill" 2 button navigation on Pixel 4?
So unlike the 3a which has all 3 navigation modes the Pixel 4 only supports the new gestures or the old 3 buttons navigation, but I actually really like the Pill navigation from Android Pie.
Are there any mods yet to enable it on the Pixel 4?
Thanks

Those of you who own a somewhat-new Pixel 4 Android smartphone might have noticed that Google forces you to use gesture navigation to interact with the newer iteration of Google Assistant. It’s not the end of the world, but it might be annoying if you hate swiping instead of tapping tiny virtual...
