Gesture bar height? - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Is there anyway (via adb or another means) to increase the height of the gesture area? I always have issues with my home swipe up gesture and is seems as if the area was a little taller, it would be better off. Any suggestions or ideas on how to improve this?

I am using the app "Fluid Navigation Gestures" and it works great for me. I typically have problems swiping from the left. Increasing the "sensitivity" allows you to widen the active area. very cool app.

Do you have to disable stock gestures or anything with FNG?

it will replace them when it's running. However, you can make it do exactly what the default is doing with improved sensitivity. I keep forgetting that I have this installed.

Interesting. Any way you can share your settings as a starting point?

Not bad. Just having issues with the stock gestures overriding FNG sometimes, mostly not he left swipe in from screen (back).

Yeah it took me a second to find it lol. On 6.1.2 the option was in a diffrent location and on 7 RC2 I had to look for a good minute to find out where that settings new location was.
Moreover. I love the guesture lock and its on only thing I use. I hae guestures for everything. I am still getting use to the guesture feature for texting. I just cant ever remember to use it lol.

I had a similar post about this, this week and got no responses. Hopefully someone will actually respond to this one. Not that I have my phone anyway its somewhere between here and the black hole at the center of the milky way.

GMD gesture control in the Play Store
This app does it. I have it configured to hide the soft keys with a three finger scroll down from top of the screen right under the notification bar.
If you do this I also recommend setting something to close the app and another gesture to go back inside of the app.

[Q] Hide Screen Buttons

Hey, i just saw that the Huawei Ascend D2 has on-screen buttons that you can hide easy and pop it up again http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UH4Zt9lP23c(it's from 0:55) and just wondering if anybody could make something like that for the nexus 4?
There are a few ways to do it i believe. If you have a root a few apps will let you do it. Also AOKP has options to change it, as far as without root I'm not sure as I didn't try before i rooted my device. One of the things I have set is using Gesture Control I made swiping gestures from the area where the buttons would have been instead of having the buttons. I think it looks a lot better and for me works just as well.
download a custom rom such as cm10.1 to get this feature.
AOKP CM10.1 and PA all support this in the power menu.
Yes i know about the extended desktop, and i use it all the time. But i were thinking about a button on the soft-keys and a gesture to enable and disable it.

pa has per app expand. meaning you define app you like to jump into this and that mode and they will. if they have a quit button your bars will come back automatically.
there are apps out there can can do that with gestures. three finger gesture or whatever - not sure if they can hide the navigationbar because that would need framework changes afaik. we're working on something like that actually, its not yet 100% ready though.

Nav Button Swap? Extra menu button?

Has anyone seen a way to swap the soft Nav buttons around yet via Xposed or any other route? Also anyway to add a quick menu on the bottom right like the Euphoria Rom has for the Nexus 6?
Gravitybox
Thank you! Now I just have to get the steps to install Xposed!
Get rid of those nav buttons altogether, and get some pie. You can have all sorts of buttons.

Is there a way to force auto hide or hide on demand??? And how do you remove them alrogether???
Never liked the idea of pie it seemed cumbersome. And half the time i accidentally hit the area to launch the pie..

I just use GravityBox to resize them to zero.

I used to be indifferent about Pie, until I actually tried it. Now I can't live without it. It's so much easier to just place your finger along either side of the screen, or the top and bottom, and have your nav buttons come up. Especially on larger screens. I also like having a "clean" screen, so the more UI items I can hide, the better.
What's the recommended pie app?

Gravity box has it, or you can grab the standalone app in Play Store.
I use an app from play store called "back button" and have a semi transparent back and notification drop button on the right side. I can't quite hit the back button comfortably. (see pic)

Found this on the Themes section http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/themes-apps/reorder-navigation-buttons-sammy-style-t3205367
Hope it helps you, or if you want to use Xposed, I can confirm GravityBox works on changing the nav buttons order.

The link you provided is what I'm currently using. Works great. Read the thread though. Someone flashed this then tried xposed. Not sure what he/she did on xposed, but I believe it caused issues.

[HOW TO] Use old OnePlus Gestures on OnePlus 5T running OxygenOS 10

I found a pretty easy way to use old OnePlus Gestures on OnePlus 5T running OxygenOS 10
No root required
1. Download this Settings Editor app
2. Open it
3. Choose "System Table"
4. Search for "op_gesture_button_side_enabled"
5. Set its value to "0"
Done! I tested it on a OnePlus 5 and it worked fine. To revert you'll have to set "1" to that property
where download?
Does this app need to be edited? Can you be clearer?
The apk is SETEDIT. and works! Thanks!!!

This should be enabled by default instead of Android's weird gestures .
Funziona perfettamente. Mille grazie
The fact that this can be changed so easily makes me wonder why OnePlus just didn't add a switch to make this an option.
Anyway, thank you very much for saving my Android experience. I loved the classic op gesture because it works perfect even with a bulky protective case while on the other hand the new Google gesture is impossible because I can't touch the screen at the required position with my thumb.
Glad to see that you appreciate my discover
Did anyone realised that this setting is disabling rotation lock feature, too? The small rotation symbol appearing at the corner when you turn your phone is now gone. Hope someone find another hidden setting for this, too

Wow, this is such bs.
Makes me stay on the new gestures. This was one of the things that really made me want oos 10. They could have added that icon in android pie, but they were lazy, samsung had their own gestures in android 9 and they added the rotation button to theirs.
Working. THX.
Anyone else got problems with the activation of goggle assistant while swiping from bottom left or right?

You don't need to use this app if you use the stock gestures? I mean, with stock gestures and no additional tweaking the rotate icon shows up while using the regular gesture navigation right?

Sure, the problem begins when you try to hide navbar and pill. Otherwise it works.

This happen on AOSP rom too, when you try to hide the navigation bar indicator. Tested on crDroid latest version.
I guess this is an Android thing.
