I boot Android P semiGsi (PR1) in my Whyred Global 4/64, mostly for try the new Gestures, so i have some thoughts.
First, the objetive for introduce Gestures in UX is enjoy all screen interface, so, I think that the "common" of the people think that the nav bar it has to gone.
Second, the transition/animation for each gestures has to be in context of the finger movement, for reach a efficient interaction,
I notice that the animations from recent apps it change, and now the apps are into "cards" structure, but, the way it how the pill interact with the cards its interesant, in vertical way.
Now, for now, who want to use gestures in Aosp base roms (stock, no heavy pers), has to use apps that imitate the butons from nav bar, but if in Android P can imitate the interaction between the pill and the cards for recent apps gestures, i think it gonna work.
bro, my advice is to use a problem english. I do not understand you. most of them if not all...
screenshoot please
and whats the issue again ? and what is actually proposed ?
i kinda lost reading it.
Where can I activate the gestures ? Didnt find it in the newest rom ....

Edit: Forget it, s2d2 just made me realize that the newer versions of LMT have integrated exactly the stuff I'm talking about here
First of all, I’m no developer and I don’t even know if this stuff is possible, I just wanted to share my thoughts about an alternative way to navigate through the OS without wasting too much space with the navigation bar.
I use roman’s awesome AOKP ROM at the moment, which has an option included to hide navigation bar. To access home/back/menu/recent, you have to use an app like LMT for example.
Although LMT works quite ok, I think it is not the ideal solution to replace navigation bar. Drawing symbols is not as intuitive as I imagined it to be and it looks kind of weird how the homescreen and many apps react while drawing the symbols.
So I thought about alternatives and I had the following idea:
Would it be possible to create something like the quick controls from the browser for system-wide use? Let's say you swipe up from the bottom of the screen and a set of buttons appears in a half circle like it does in the browser. Of course it should work system-wide and across all apps, just like LMT.
To make it available across all apps, it would be necessary to still reserve a "swipe space" on the bottom to differ between app input and navigation bar access. It could be smaller though since you don't need to show any information on it. Theoretically, a line with a width of one pixel should be enough since the swipe gesture would start outside the screen (which makes me think, maybe this line can be a battery bar at the same time )
I see some advantages in this kind of navigation:
- maximum screen real estate
- a swipe from the bottom would be quicker and more intuitive than drawing symbols (where you have to remember the shape and the starting point for every action)
- smaller chance to trigger navigation buttons accidentally (for example while writing with onscreen keyboard) since the navigation bar is hidden.
- doesn’t get in the way of other swipe actions like scrolling/turning pages/homescreen transition. I can’t think of any situation where you swipe from the bottom of the screen that would interfere with the Quick Navigation.
So developers, do you think something like this is possible? It would be an awesome solution to get the most out of the screen size and still have quick access to the navigation buttons and maybe even custom apps/actions.
If it's not possible or just plain stupid, what are the problems realizing something like this?
Lmt has pie wheel=half circle stuff in your terminology, already implemented...
Nearly two weeks late

I am! Just installed new version and it's awesome! It's pretty much what i wished for ^^
I like to use the navbar area for swipe gestures.
A short, empty navbar prevents the gestures from affecting the current app.
GMD can see the gesture starting from edge of the screen. I believe I tried every single one on the market and it was the only one that would work for this. The others could only see gestures started above the navbar.
I've used this method on DirtyUnicorns, LiquidSmooth, SpiritRom, and others.
I'm using SpiritRom right now because it's navbar is highly configurable. It allows as many custom icons as you want, and you can set them to do nothing.
BTW GMD updated earlier this year, it seems to be more stable and less laggy than ever, and the new launch bars have more options, tho I have not found a way to make one launch bar open another one.
I'm going to reinstall a ROM soon, maybe SpiritRom again, maybe LiquidSmooth again, maybe try to make my own...
I want to know more about navbars, how would you replace it? Can you swap out different ones? Is there a list of them somewhere with the features and zip files, maybe I missed it somehow.
Android has had gesture navigation since 2015, possibly earlier, on custom ROMs by way of Fling.
Granted, both the iOS and Android P variants are likely more mature in some ways, but I'm curious to see some conversation about Fling versus Android P gestures versus iOS gestures
Fling gestures it's super personisable, I configured the look and feel of fling like Android's P gesture navbar.
I prefer to have the screen space, so I'm using OnePlus Gestures Navigation to achieve gesture navigation.
Before this, I used Xposed Edge.

Are the OnePlus Gestures something we can download? If so, where?

I read this article that popped up in my news feed a few weeks ago regarding this very topic. The author is, imho, biased towards iOS but it does cover the various differences between the two operating systems & their gesture-based navigation.
I did use gestures during the entire duration of my DP2 experience. It was, for the most part, fine & for a preview version of the OS and more than likely unfinished code it worked very well. The only reason I had to revert back to O was that bluetooth didn't work in my car & that is annoying to me having to hold my phone like an animal.
I'm very much in favor of gestures. Of any kind. But if Google wants to use gestures...they need to also save the screen space and hide the navigation bar when not being used. To me, that's the other big side of using gestures...more on screen space.
I trieyof Miui Roms
Is there Any Custom Rom With Full-Screen Gestures
Because I Loved Them Most..
I want to know too.
Hey there, I'm using Edge Gestures . It's definately worth it [1,59€] I'm on RR and really missed Xiaomis FS Gestures. So I found this app. It's not exactly the same experience, but 90% reliable. I think, since it's not ported from MIUI, edge gestures is fine enough. I've set up pretty the same functionality but its coming without that UI that you know from MIUI ("drops from the sides" or that "pushing actual screen into the middel" to get recent menu). I'm satisfied with that.
There are nevertheless some few bugs. F.ex. in youtube or netflix i cannot use sometimes the gestures, so i have to minimize it with the inside app actions.
Edge gestures is present in LOS extended and RR(I haven't tested all roms so I'm not sure if other roms support it too

yeah, but you cant customize it. With the official app you can set up things like exact position, like thickness, offset, seperate hold timeout, swipe treshold, other swipe actions... and the implemented one in RR seems to be a little bit buggy (for me)
AEX has full screen gestures too, and they work really well
Hi, since it got a bit quiet concerning security updates I tried some Q ROMs instead of OOS. All seem to have the new swipe from the side back gesture which imho is a catastrophy compared to the old. Especially when using a protective case. Will there be Q ROMs which will have the old gestures, maybe the option to choose between the two? Or is it technically impossible? I read in the 7t forums that there are some not so perfect workarounds. Was thinking about switching to a 7T this year but the new gestures are a deal breaker for me right now.
Depends on ur Custom ROM. Usually u can choose navigation gesture in Settings > System > Gestures > System navigation. Anyway i think there is no available OOS gestures port for Android 10 yet. Only classic AOSP gestures and normal navbar.
