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.

Don't get me wrong, I love the app and the idea. It's just the description in the Google play store seems stupid to me. Here is what I'm talking about;
Code:
KNOWN LIMITATIONS:
Unfortunately, XDA isn't God. As such, we are limited in what we can and cannot do. Please read this!
- There is no way to make a space for the pill
- We cannot detect the presence of a keyboard
- We cannot directly detect changes in full screen mode
- Screen off and screenshot actions are only possible with root
My problem is with the first two "restrictions" which I feel like there are ways around.
First off the space for the pill....
Instead of disabling the nav bar with this adb command:
Code:
adb she'll am overscan 0,0,0,-202
You could leave it there and disable each individual button on the nav bar. I know this can be done because this is a feature of Custom Navbar app (Screenshots for proof). Then you could display the pill Navbar overtop of the empty space. You can display stuff over the Navbar. Rounded screen corner apps do this. If you did this the keyboard would display above the Navbar, and then you wouldn't have that issue either. It just seems like they don't want to try it....
And what's up with "this app doesn't work on Android P Dev preview? The command I listed earlier works fine when you turn off the gesture Navbar. Have they changed the way overlays work in Android P? I don't think so because all in one gestures still works.
I am honestly thinking of using Tasker scene to create my own pill Navbar above the blank Navbar as a proof of concept.
I tried to use it and these are my openions
It also overlapsthe screen content
Having a pill is pointless, it exists now only as a step to the no pill nav gestures that are going to be in Android Q. Can't alienate casual users by changing too much too fast unless your Apple after all. However that may be there are a half dozen apps on the market that do what they say can't be done; OnePlus gestures for example that costs you a buck fifty. Color me unimpressed with the XDA gestures.
Also got it to ignore that I was on Android P and let me set up the app. Screen shots of it working on Android P
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

Good stuff
[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

Hello,
I frequently use my phone for Google maps navigation in my car, but mounted landscape. In the Google Maps app, data around the notch cutout shows correctly in portrait mode, but in landscape mode, the whole status bar area around the notch just becomes a black bar.
This has caused severe screen burn-in on my phone in the status bar area. Since I spend thousands of hours using maps in landscape mode and therefore having that section on the screen dark, I need to find a way to make Maps take up the whole screen to prevent the burn-in/uneven-wear from worsening.
I flashed a Magisk module called NotchKiller, which works, but it affects ALL apps, including the status bar itself when in portrait mode, which is not what I want. Google Maps and Waze don't seem to have an in-app user setting for this either.
Then I found this useful documentation. https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/display-cutout
It appears the app is using the default "LAYOUT_IN_DISPLAY_CUTOUT_MODE_DEFAULT", but I want the behavior to follow "LAYOUT_IN_DISPLAY_CUTOUT_MODE_SHORT_EDGES".
So my question is, how can I change or override this setting? (And not have to spend an hour recompiling the app myself with this one line every time Google updates it?)
Edit: I am on OOS 10, but willing to try a custom ROM if I have to.
Anyone?
