The navigation gestures on the 8 Pro are usable. However, I dislike the swiping to go back. It doesn’t allow for access to slide out menus from the side on different apps. On the 6T, you would swipe up on the right or left hand side to go back keeping the sides of the screen free. Is there anyone who would be able to somehow pull the navigation gestures that were on the 6T to be used on the 8 Pro?
I had asked this twice already and so far I've been told it's not possible just downloaded fluid navigation gestures and set them up and you're good to go.
There are alternatives when it comes to the swiping (All in one gestures/Vivd etc.) They do that job well in my opinion.
The thing they all have in common is that they need that area in the bottom to function, and for my case that messes with the lower end of my keyboard.
I enjoy having the swiftkey keyboard dragged down all the way to the bottom of the screen.
If someone is able to pull the OP gestures and somehow make it available as a module or whatever, I would surely donate some coffee..
This is almost a dealbreaker, and I miss my 7 Pro which also have them.

Were you able to set them up in a way that operates the same? Does it seem to work well and reliably/consistently?

the application itself one setup does perform like the regular OnePlus just the sensitivity area of where you're swiping up from kind of makes it like a dead zone for touching on other spots underneath the swipe area. But you can configure your sensitivity area I have mine set to a little bit of past half so this way I get the best of both I get my swipe gestures and I can still access the stuff that's underneath them. I also left the right side back gesture available so this way if it doesn't function properly on the bottom I still got the side.

Are you able to use root to hide the system navigation bar? It hides it for a second for me but it doesn't stay hidden which is frustrating. Unless that's a pro feature?

Yes you can here is a screen shot of mine all set up and nav bar hidden with root. Here is how mine is all set up I set my wife's the same way she likes it and is new to OnePlus this 8 Pro is her 1st she was looking forward to OnePlus system navigation gestures but you know no dice. Mine stayed hidden all the time after I set I rebooted and haven't had a issue yet.

Rather than using soft keys, a rather elegant and simple solution would be to use gestures to emulate the missing hardware buttons. You could have a program that runs in the background and attempts to detect a 3-finger swipe for "back" and perhaps a 4-finger tap for the "menu". This method would even work for full-screen apps. Does such an app exist?
Currently the software on the nook only recognizes two fingers, so those specific gestures are out for now.
However I saw someone mention that running your finger right to left across the status bar in 1.2 stock works as a "back" gesture

Well, I'm talking about a general Android app running on a rooted NC and not the preloaded software. It would have to be a low-level program that would intercept all touch-screen activity and detect if any of the selected gestures were performed. If not, then pass the touchscreen activity to the currently running app.

It was that way in the older versions too. Pretty cool trick.
After Murdock's mod, softkeys are pretty nice.
there is an app called zmooth on the market.
zmooth rocks! Been using it for a while. Just made is very slim, and I put it on the bottom of the screen. Works great!

Funny thing is, that's in the manual
And it works for any non-full screen app on stock. I use Zeam on stock (never touch the home launcher), but the B&N status bar is always there anyway. As long as it's not full screen, you can use the right-to-left swipe to go back.
Hello there, Im having a weird issue with PIE, whether it's SLIMpie, PA's PIE or even LMT Launcher's PIE controls - I usually set my PIE trigger area at the Bottom, when triggering it it doesn't really work perfectly unless I trigger it from the very left side of the bottom of my screen, it doesn't really work well at the center and right bottom of it - Unless I set the trigger area as MAXIMUM.
If I set the default settings but on the Right or Left area, it works perfectly, is it a problem with my screen ?
And NO, I dont like the area to be maximumly triggered since it conflicts a little bit with the Launcher's dock, where it becomes a little slacky

Just because bottom part screen has the GOOGLE SEARCH. I mean when you slide your finger upwards from bottom of the screen the GOOGLE SEARCH ring appears..
Also check this. I am on Slim ROM,
the trigger gravity should be 75%
trigger thickness should be 40%
This settings is what I use and all working fine here.

Works fine for me.
It could be an issue with the digitizer on your touch screen.
Test:
Load the app "dev tools" and click on pointer location
Note that if activating pie it doesn't show the pointer tail so start in the center of the screen.
Drag from the center down to the bottom and drag it across the bottom end of the screen to make sure that you are actually getting touch detection at the bottom.

I only tried to use this feature on my S5 a couple times, but my wife would like to use this feature on her new N4. I find that starting the One-handed operation function on both the S5 and N4 using the touchscreen gesture described in the enabling setting screen rarely works. It takes a bunch of swipes before the reduced One-handed screen appears.Very annoying and defeats the purpose of the feature as you actually have to try to enable it using two hands. I didn't even try to master using this feature given that it's so hard to get it started. I thought it was an issue with my S5, but after trying it on the N4... I had the same results. Is there a shortcut to enable this feature other than that the swiping gesture? Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Im sure you dont swipe correctly, for me it work all the time, just swipe your finger from screen edge to the middle then back to the screen edge with a horizontal way! Its not a V-like swipe, its like a hohorizontal "I" swipe just try it until you get it working!
Good luck!

Yes, I'm swiping correctly, but it's not very reliable it works only 1 out of 6 or 7 times. I have a wallpaper with a straight line down the middle and I swipe over that straight line to the middle of the screen from the edge of the screen and back. Of course in a horizontal I. It would be nice if this feature had a toggle in the top bar pull down to turn it on/off. I'm hoping a Xposed Module developer notices this deficiency and comes up with a module with shortcut solution.
You have to start at edge of screen then finish at edge of screen, which can be a problem if you have a case. Doesn't hurt to actually go past the center either.
I can do it pretty consistently, and the times I fail I know it's because I hit the rim on the case and didn't swipe all the way to edge.
I recently switched from a Droid Turbo to a 6P for the sole reason of I needed the unlocked radio abilities that the Nexus line offers and I was unable to obtain with other phones. (Droid Turbo/Moto Maxx I have plenty of threads on this around). Aside from the Verizon bloat and added software, I loved that phone.
The Nexus 6P is a very good phone on it's own, aside from the size, but I am having a few adjustment issues that some of you might be able to help me out with. I've read that most switchers from the Droid line of phones are unhappy with the Nexus Active Display compared to the Moto version. Just curious if anybody has found a worthy software that has been able to replicate or was able to port the Moto Display over to the 6P? I would be very interested and even willing to shell out $ to help that progress. The Nexus version just seems so unfinished. It very rarely wakes up upon movement and I really enjoyed how I could just wave my hand near my Turbo and I would get the time and notifications.
But my biggest issue with the software of the 6P is the fact that the bottom navigation buttons are software based and do not stay put or visible at all times. I hold the device mostly with my left hand in landscape mode and it doesn't matter which way I am holding it (the top is to the right or left) the navigation buttons are on the right side. If they would just stay put where they are supposed to be, on the bottom of the phone, I could easily use this phone one handed in landscape mode. But I cannot currently. The second part of this issue is the immersive full screen mode where they keep making my navigation buttons disappear! Ok, the screen is big enough, I do not need that extra 4 mm of screen real estate. Leave the buttons visible so I can use them please. I hate the extra screen tap and then delay to be able to back out. The video player is even worse, only allowing a small x to be pressed to back out. I've tried Immersive Full Screen Mode and a few others including Power Toggle but none lock the immersive full screen off. So does anybody know of or have a remedy to lock the navigation buttons and keep them visible? I'm also of the apparent minority that prefers the notification bar to always be visible as well.
Thanks for any help offered.
You may have to wait till some custom roms hit the scene. Sounds like a rom with pie controls would be what you seek.
Yea I was afraid of that. I was hoping there was another secret menu out there that allows control of these features.
I am annoyed with the stock messaging app...does a decent job, however it always crashes when attempting to access through the app switcher. I hate having to go back to the home screen to access my text messages.

acDisplay worked pretty well on my HTC One.
Looks pretty good, but it disables my fingerprint security. With it on I can press the power button and gain access or just swipe up. If I use the built in lock screen, after unlocking with the fingerprint, it still gives the acdisplay lock screen. Perhaps it just needs a marshmallow update to work specifically with this phone. I will continue to monitor it. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'd load Xposed with gravity box. Keeps you on AOSP and you'll have PIE, and many options for the nav bar alone.
How does one get this immersive display where the navigation buttons hide? I'm curious about this feature
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
It's built into the apps. The Google Photos app, any video playback, a lot of apps and games that I have automatically go into it. There's also plenty of apps, I mentioned one above, that you can install and get immersive all the time. Be aware though, I got myself into a bit of a jam as it removed the back and home buttons and I couldn't exit a certain app.

So far Oreo is a noticeable improvement in battery and lag. But... Something has changed when using Instagram. The home touch buttons are now too closely overlayed over the Instagram buttons. They're literally on top of each other down there at the very bottom of the phone, With each button ust slightly to the left of each other. The result is that you're constantly hitting the wrong button, no room at all for error.
As a remedy I installed the XDA gestures app but that has a new slide bar that sits right in the center of the screen when using Whatsapp so that you cant see what you're typing. I have to tilt the phone in landscape to get the bar out of the text input box. Any suggestions?
I experience the same issue in both vanilla instagram and GBinsta.
Another issue is that Google Assistant is also right in top of the LG home touch buttons so that it blocks me using the screen capture/screenshot button. I have to do the fingerprint button+volume button thing. Otherwise the related searches pull up results take up half the screen so I cant screen capture. Google must really want us to buy Pixel phone...
What models are yall using? I'm on H918 Oreo using the small display size and my instagram works just fine.
I don't use Instagram all that much but I just went to check out this issue.
The thing that I noticed right off the bat was that if you have the "Home Touch Buttons" set to hide then when you use Instagram they will almost completely overlap when dragged up.
Solution: Use the little square dot in the bottom left corner (tap to change the state) to keep the Home Touch Buttons from hiding. They will nicely reside under the Instagram app and not be overlapped. When done with Instagram just tap the square to go back to the hidden state.
Hopefully this will be of use to you.
