Notification Gesture - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

I just upgraded to Oneplus 8 Pro from Oneplus 5T.
Oneplus 5T is still a great phone with fingerprint on the back which can swipe down the notification easily.
Now I am using oneplus 8 Pro, this phone is too big for my hand to reach the top and pull down the notification, i have to use 2 hands to do it.
I know Oneplus has removed this feature since OP6 came out. I would like to ask if anyone knows the solution for this? Anyway better than setting up the navigation bar ?(I already know this)

Fingerprint sensor gestures not working?

I jumped on the bandwagon of the prime day PH-1 and picked one up. I ran through all of the updates and turned on the fingerprint sensor gestures but they aren't working. fingerprint for unlock works just fine though. I've rebooted several times and done a hard reset to no avail. Am I out of luck here?
Thanks
If you updated to Android Pie you have to enable gestures. Burried all the way in the system tab at the bottom of settings.
What do they do? I find the sensor is not in a good place for gestures.
I love the apps oneplus gestures and hide nav bar though. Gives same gestures as op6 and hides nav bar for full screen.
Shame they are not built in along with double tap to wake and skip lock screen after face unlock.
On the Essential its just to pull down the notification shade.

I was just about to start searching for this feature. Coming from the Pixel 2 XL I realized I didn't really need it but just wanted to have it lol. This phone is really nice too bad there won't be a second one

Oxygen OS Navigation Gestures for OP5?

Hey guys.
When the OP6 originally came out, it had Always-On Display enabled which was then ported back to 5&5T because Oxygen OS was so similar on the devices.
Just a shot in the dark here, could the same logic be applied to implement navigation gestures on the OnePlus 5 natively? (XDA's NAV Gestures is good and all, but still).
If not possible, feel free to explain why to me. I want to learn something from this.

MIUI 10 Stable Released!!!

As We Know Redmi Note 5 Pro Got MIUI 10 Stable This Week
Can We Expect A Good Stable Rom Port For The Same(As The Specs Are Same)
I Just Want MIUI 10 For That Full Screen Mode
Yes I Know There's Already MIUI 10 BETA Port Out There But I Think That's All It Wont Get Updated
Our Legend Sagar Makhar Has Already Build So Many Rom's By Himself He Wont
Have That Much Of Time To Play Around With Particularly One Rom
He Already Has To Work On Lineage 16.0 , AEXv6.0,AEX v5.7 Pixel Exp Pie[9.0]
As We Are On Stock Android And Even On Android P We Will Have A Pill Swipe
We Won't Be Able To Use The Full 6 inch Display And MIUI Is The Closest Thing That We Can Have
If You Ask Me To Use XDA GESTURE CONTROL APP Than Please Don't Suggest
It Sometimes Misbehaves A Lot And Gets Triggered Randomly
We(On Be-Half Of Every X00TD User) Hope Someone's Will Give A ROM Soon ​
Definitely it will be awesome to get a MIUI 10 Stable version for the Max pro M1.
Here is an alternate perfect Full Screen Gesture fix for the Zenfone Max Pro M1.
Root your M1,
Install Edge Gesture app, give all required permissions.
Configure the app by configuring the Left edge, Right edge, Bottom edge. (In my case Left and Right edge swipe takes me one level Back and swipe from the bottom to go to home and swipe and hold from the Bottom for recent app menu. Change the hold threshold to '244' )
That is it, works exactly like the Note 5 Pro.
Install Navigation Bar remover app or use any other method to Remove the Soft keys.
Restart device.

Two button Pie Gesture navbar for G7??

I've come from an AOSP rom and the only thing that really annoys me about this handset is that motorola took away the ability to activate the stock Pie two button navigation feature in Gestures and replaced it with Moto Actions.
Does anyone know of a way of getting this back? I have looked at other pill options, but can't find anything that is the same. I'm on a rooted device.
To be honest,.after about 3-4 hours after purchasing I got use to the Moto Launcher apk pill. Gestures are taking a little time getting use too...
The Pix3lify module in Magisk will add it. That's what I use and it works great with no issues.

Third party launchers and pixel 4/4xl gestures

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.
