Has anyone else used these and noticed issues in their pixel 4? Swiftkey doesn't always work with gestures when swiping left to delete a word. I use Swiftkey exclusively so this is rough, as not being able to swipe to delete is insanely slow.
For nova launcher, there's a 1 second delay when going home before being able to select anything on the screen. I've already tried changing animations in nova launcher.
In regards to the Nova Launcher: it works fine for me. However, if you go to settings you should see a message that there are some Android 10 restrictions for gestures when it comes to 3rd party apps.
Going into Recents send to be tricky with Nova. Pixel Launcher works perfectly.
Oh my god they finally fixed it (in SwiftKey beta for now), over a year after the Pixel 4 came out and the bug was filed. Better late than never, I guess.
[Reported] SwiftKey Keyboard and Pixel 4 swipe to erase issues
Hi, I love SwiftKey and I always disable Flow because I use the swipe right to left gesture to erase the last word, but on the Pixel 4 it's horribly broken and doesn't erase 90% of the time. Extrem...

Hello,
I always use a gesture "one finger pull down" to pull down the notification shade, but it is not working for me on the S8 has anyone noticed the same?
I am currently using action launcher 3, but none of the launchers seem to do it for me.
Update, action launcher has been updated and it works now.
Yes. I have the same issue.
Settings > Advanced Features > Enable "Finger Sensor Gestures"
it's working for me, clear your fingerpring and try.. .... mine is S8+
It's not the fingerprint sensor that's not working it's the gesture on the home screen of pulling down. Normally I can swipe down anywhere in the home screen and pull down notifications and quick actions. Right now I have to get my finger all the way to the top. I have tried making the gesture a double tap as well as a two finger pull and nothing works.
I have exactly the same issue! I submitted a bug request with action launcher, in case its a problem with that app. Perhaps you should do that too?
It's not the app. I'm fortunate enough to have Verizon which still allowed the Bixby button to be remapped. (the first time I'm actually happy they are slow at rolling out updates lol). That being said I remapped that button to open notifications and its fine. However using Nova launcher which uses what I assume is the same accessibility interception doesn't work. Hopefully a work around is found so this phone is more usable with one hand.
Definitely an issue with 3rd party launchers and the s8 fingerprint sensor

I have the same issue. Guess i have to get used to use the fingerprint swipe, until they fix it.
Working for me as well.
Did you activate launcher's service in settings>accessibility>services?
Its disabled by default, you have to enable it in the settings, but to be honest, that feature is useless unless you are missing fingers on your hand. and youll end up smudging your camera in the process.
Yeah sure did... Still mot working
I have the same issue using Action Launcher 3. I also have the app ticked in Accessibility.
Everyone who is saying it IS working is misunderstanding the issue. It's not a case of swiping the fingerprint sensor not working, it's a case of launchers that use shortcuts to access the notification shade. For years, I've used Action Launcher 3 where a single finger swipe down OF THE HOMESCREEN brings down the notification shade - that doesn't work anymore. And given the height of the S8 duo, this is the time we need it the most.
It does not work because swiping up/down now brings up app drawers. It is by design. Maybe try disabling app drawers a la iOS style?
You just need to enable Action Launcher in Settings->Accessibility scroll all the way down to services.
(I hope those is the right names, my phone is not set to english)
Looks like Nova Launcher Prime does work for me as long as Accessibility is activated so this problem is mostly just a Action Launcher problem. I remember at one point he moved away from needing accessibility to utilize this feature and maybe its default setting is to not utilize it any longer. I really want to stick with Action Launcher so hopefully the developer will come through with the old way through accessibility.

Ok found a solution but its annoying. If you have Action Launcher and Nova Launcher (Prime may or may not be needed) you can still use action launcher primarily but you'll need to utilize Nova Launcher's action short cuts. So here goes...
1. Open Action Launcher Settings
2. Go to shortcuts
3. Go to swipe down
4. Assign single finger to "Shortcut" > Nova Action > Select Expand Notifications in this menu.
??? profit

GENIUS.
I found another solution as well! works very good.
Install the app "drop down status bar"(WangQi) from play store and then use this app as a shortcut for that gesture you want.
While using Android Pie...Using Nova launcher I don't get the swipe up twice gesture to bring my app drawer up. There is also no recents bar on first swipe up. Switching back to stock launcher makes it work again. Does anyone know a workaround to get it working on custom launchers?
I got the recent with APEX launcher but not the app drawer.
Be aware not all apps are completely optimised yet for P
I use Nova works for me. I only use the single swipe up function for apps. How is it even possible without using 2 fingers to double swipe up?
I'm using Nova as well, 6.0 beta 1.
First swipe up on pill gives me overview apps.
Second swipe up or long swipe do nothing.
So, I just set the home pill to open the app drawer ?
So, two quick taps on the pill and I'm in the app drawer.
From what I've read this is because the new app drawer is contained in the launcher itself.
I would like to use the pixel launcher
On my phone with Nova 6.0 beta3, single swipe up from the dock, not the pill, will bring up the apps. Single swipe from the pill brings up recents. My phone is on Pie, locked and unrooted.
I'm thinking of getting the 6T but have a few queries.
I like the gestures but do they only work on the stock launcher or do they work ok in nova launcher for example? I tried the mate 20 pro and the gestures didn't work well unless the stock launcher was used.
How much customisation is in the stock launcher? Can app names be edited or flow into 2 lines? Can you make folders, what size grids are available etc?
And finally can you change the shelf to be the Google feed instead?
I'm using the gestures with Nova. No issues. T-Mobile 6t
The gestures are OS level, not launcher level. I'm also using Nova with my own custom launcher gestures and I've had no issues with inputting either sets of gestures.
Gestures are working with nova, but not as good as stock:
-on stock, when you go home, animation shrinks into an app icon
-on nova application shrinks to the center of the screen. Also homescreen icons are present on this animation, while nova appears when it is over. I hope, they will fix it.
Anyone noticed slow animations for app closures when you are using Nova launcher? Any fix or work around?

I notice it. I have been using nova launcher since day one on my 6T. The only slow animation I am facing is if I swype from the bottom centre to go to the home screen from within an app. If I am pressing back or swyping up from bottom right or bottom left, the animations are quick.
I mailed Nova Devs about it, and they said it is not to be fixed from their end but from Oneplus' end. As if you are in another app, Nova does not play any role then. According to them, all third party launchers should be having this. I have not tried any other cuz Nova is just too good otherwise.
Third party launchers do not support OnePlus's gesture animations. Only the stock OnePlus launcher will have the proper animations

I had the same problem with nova and decided to try another launcher (lawnchair) but this has the same issue.
I have noticed with this launcher that the 'ok Google' always shows up in the pill widget where on nova it would often be blank. Don't know why that is.
You can speed up animations in developer options. I set .5x for Window/Transition animation scale, as well as Animator duration scale. That's usually the first thing I do
on a new phone. I can't stand slow animations, and Nova feels so much better with those set

I will be getting my 6T next week...
On all my previous phones (there are many) I have always used Nova Launcher - I really like it particularly the TeslaUnread notification add-on as its great for showing unread message count and on other apps also.
Whats the unread notification like on the 6T ? (I have never had a OnePlus phone before so not sure how they handle this)
Also how is 6T in general with stock launcher - I just find Nova so customisable and it will be hard for me to not use it but I would like to try not to...
Cheers Frosty

No problems with nova
Working great ..animations are fast & smooth
Tesla unread working properly...
Same "problem" with Evie launcher, it's not laggy but compared to oos it's slower, using .5 animation speed fixed it.
Perhaps oos has a 1 in animation that is in reality 0.5 in equivalence to other launchers. Sort of small cheat from oneplus?
Hello,
I'm used to Nova Launcher and physical buttons for many years. Since I switched to the OP8P I use on-screen gestures and OP launcher.
Today I tried Nova and opening the recent apps screen takes more time than the stock launcher and it's not smooth.
Is it a known limitation?
Thank you.
Demo: https://drive.proton.me/urls/Q2J16AZKNG#EyyLTmEtkOYW
Works flawless on my device
Do you use 120hz display settings or 60hz?

120hz
It only happens when I open the recent apps from the homescreen. No problem from Firefox for example.
Did you tweak something in Nova to improve the gestures?
As a workaround, I now open the recent apps screen with a swipe up from the homescreen.
No I didn't change anything,
I normaly use the 3 buttons but I tested it with the gestures earlier and it works super fast.
Thats what it looks like

Same as Deavy already said, I also don't have that delay. I am still on OOS 11 though, so I can't speak for any newer versions.

OK so it seems you have the same problem.
With OP stock launcher, you can swipe up then hold to the left to directly switch to another app.
With Nova launcher, you cannot hold and directly switch to another app. You have to release your finger then press again to select another app.
Ok than it´s normal behavior in nova launcher i would say.
Im not familiar with gestures, but couldnt you switch between apps with a swipe from the left or right side directly?

Sure I can. Not a big deal to press again the screen to select an app but it's not as good as OP launcher.
