People online says that the fingerprint scanner can be used for gestures, but what exactly?
Can I use the fingerprint scanner as a home button on tap with back on swipe left and recent apps on swipe right?
Thanks.

When using the gestures, tapping the scanner (not press) is back, holding is recents. When pressed it will go home and holding a press activates now on tap / assistant.

Hey guys, does the phone stock Android comes with any gesture? Like tap twice to wake or even just put a finger and it just unlocks without having to press the power button

Nextbit stock OS doesn't have any of the gestures you mentioned except the jump to camera option when pressing the power button twice. However, a lot of custom ROMs such as OMNI, RR, AICP, etc has many gestures such as double tap on status/nav bar to sleep, the same jump to camera gesture & three-finger swipe to screenshot.
OMNI had the feature to keep the fingerprint sensor active so that you don't have to press the power button, but that feature was removed. RR and some other custom ROMs have the FP unlock feature where you can unlock the device with the fingerprint sensor after reboot / first boot.

Thanks, the only thing that bothers me is the need to press the power button and then use the fingerprint sensor.

When the screen is off it works as a finger print scanner.. U just need to tap on the button ..no need to press it.. Have u set up the fingerprint scanner in setting??
When fingerprint gestures are on..Taping the home button acts as a back button whereas pressing the home button acts as a home button..
If these features are not working.. U may have a faulty unit

Hey guys, anyone know of an app that doesn't the stock gestures? Particularly the drop down notifications menu.
I've tried with Finger Scanner Gestures but it broke the drop-down.
I'm looking to being able to lock the phone when long-pressing the fingerprint.
Thank you!
Its easier to reach the power button instead of the FP for long press ...
Weird options of yours

Thing is I don't know how much it'll last. I've experienced deterioration in the past with the power button. Also idk, it seems more comfortable to do it with the fingerprint.
I'd also love to get other gestures to work tho .
Why not remap one of the on screen buttons to lock screen function? It's a built in OOS feature and that way, you don't have to use the physical lock key button.
instead of using the power button, preferably without root
any suggestion?
I use Fingerprint Action Pro and Double Tap to lock on my Pixel 3xl stock un-rooted and I really like this combo. In Fingerprint Action I have it set to Single Swipe and set the swipe to all four directions up, down, left and right it's kinda like tickle to lock the phone.
OK thx I'll try it out
I use the app Double Tap To Lock Screen. It works great, Pixel 3xl on beta 5
Edit:It got moved just as I replied.
Does anyone know how to get the 'hold home button for assistant' option back?
I really miss this handy feature that worked on my Google pixel 3XL. Holding power button is no where near as useful and now home button does nothing at all.. a wasted button.
I've been trying to find a a root module but not having any luck

Under "gestures" in settings, I have double tap back of phone to activate google assistant. Also with Nova Launcher Prime you can assign different gestures for different app shortcuts. IE. I have swipe up for camera, double tap screen to turn off screen. etc..
Gesture Plus (app)
I'm in the same boat... I have the phone set to double tap the back for assistant, but every so often (far too often), double tapping the back doesnt do anything and so i have to look up the assistant app. Its really annoying, gonna try nova launcher settings, if that dont work, i dunno... I'm considering going back to my OnePlus 8 Pro, this phone has been failing me badly with its lag spikes, features not working, and other issues. Camera's amazing though!
