New gesture appear in setting - Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers

I randomly go through the setting today and i found setting for gesture including double tap to check phone, swipe fingerprint for notification, lift to check phone beside the old double press power button to launch camera. This is the first time I see these gesture appear, but none of them working

This Option Doesn't Appear In My "MI Xiaomi A2 Lite" As It Is Already Updated On October Patch.

I dont see this in my settings too. I think it has to do with where your country is

Im still on September update with magisk installed, but i have no module related to this. I'm currently in the US

No new gestures in Germany with October patch.

Got swipe fingerprint in UK but not others. I have an imported device that has double tap to wake screen hardware which by default is switched on and can't be turned off (yet here). Not complaining, I like the feature.

Gesture with fingerprint reader appears after second November update (~50MB size). Lift to check and double tap to check - never seen them. BTW I have the device with double tap to wake which could not be switched off, the same situation as @p3108

By chance what's the build number you have? I have two Lites on different builds, both on the November patch, only one has the options for swipe and jump to camera. The other only jump to to camera

you need have OPM1.171019.019.V9.6.11.0.ODLMIFF which is 2nd november patch, with lower version there is no option for finger print gestures.

Dial this - *#*#6484#*#*
Select number 1
Under TP : there will be ur LCD panel model type .
Mind to share the screenshot ?
As far as I know only LCD panel with CSOT model type for Mi A2 Lite are having the tap to wake gesture .

Thanks... I never met anyone with EBBG model type with D2TW yet. Not sure why xiaomi didnt apply this gesture to all Mi A2 / Mi A2 Lite

Just to clarify all the questions, I install the stock Rom after install the android Pie gsi, and some how these appear in the setting. This happens twice, this is the first time, the second time ot actually work with raise to wake and some other (i don't remember) from Havoc os. Im not sure how it works or how to make it happens again

Seems the swipe fingerprint for notification is gone in pie.. hopefully thats temporary, I was getting quite use to it

This gesture settings was appeared in October 1, 2018 security patch update

Launcher that allows Knock On/Off

okay, so the G6 is pretty sweet. debloated it, installed Nova (LG's three launchers are pretty terrible, especially that cheesy "stretch" effect), everything is pretty much how i want it (not Rooted), except: Nova Launcher doesn't allow Knock On/Off.
i can dbl tap to wake, takes me to the lockscreen. fingerprint reader is whipsmart and FAST, so this isn't so much of an issue. but without Knock Off, i have to wait for the screen to time out OR press the power button. workarounds: tap the thin notification strip at the top twice -- which is hella awkward, when i have this giant screen; or install a 3rd party app -- which kind of nuts when the phone natively supports this functionality.
anyone know of an alternate launcher that won't inhibit LG Knock Off?
This works fine in Nova, but you have to be rooted. I don't think it is Nova fault, it is just like this in Android.
You can actually try to enable this action in Nova's settings, there is some workaround when you are not rooted, but it won't be same...
Nova has this feature if your rooted, if your not they have a similar one, you double knock to turn off but puts it in standby until your auto-lock kicks in.
I double tap the notification bar with nova not rooted and it works fine no matter what app I have up. Unlike all other nova gestures that only work from home screen.

sounds good ... i'm assuming this is something that can be done with gestures enabled, with Nova Prime?

it's what i'm doing right now -- and i like that, as you mentioned, the functionality is available on any screen. but it's awkward for single hand use. didn't know that Nova gestures only work from the home screen. hmmm ... that's also a consideration.

Yes Nova Prime, Gestures, Double tap.
just upgraded to Prime, tried this. doesn't quite work the way i thought it would: double tap turns the screen off but it also disables the fingerprint reader? (!!) so i then have to tap the screen -- which doesn't turn the screen back on, but instead shows the faint outline of nav icons at the bottom. if i hit the home button, then screen comes back.
that's some weird behaviour just to get something like Knock On/Off. no root for the h870DS, so it looks like i'm stuck for the time being ...
I went through the same thing, trying a bunch of different solutions. Not being rooted and on 7.0+, nothing works (hopefully something will work on 8.0+).
You'll get used to using the power button in the back, and tapping the status bar.

i'm resigned to this, hope so. can't live with that LG launcher, when Nova is so much more functional.
Nova works without root. Double tap(knock) on notification bar to sleep. Truly had nothing to do with nova it works with all launchers. Tried 3
I have the double tap gesture in Nova launcher that locks my screen so it keeps the Knock feature.
Can confirm, i have the lawnchair launcher and was missing the feature, double tap the status bar and it works no mather where or with which launcher.
So nothing works so far if you're not rooted?
I remember Nova asked me to choose between two option for double tap to lock when I set the gesture but I chose the one that just turn the screen black and wait for system lock. Really bad. Not sure what was the other option.

The other option Iocks the screen instantly but disables the fingerprint reader for the next unlock, making you enter your PIN.

Awful.. Thanks for the info. I guess I'll have to disable fingerprint and just unlock with swipe and lock with double tap on the status bar if i want to keep using nova.

Double tapping the status bar works perfectly though. Keeps the fingerprint active. It's just when you activate Nova's double click the home screen that it gets wonky.

There you go! ?
Have tried using fringer print to unlock? Ive forgotten knock on now
There is a quite good workaround for those who are using Tasker. Together with TouchTask plugin (free in Google Play) you can simulate double tap on notification bar to lock your phone. This way you can unlock the phone with fingerprint without need for entering PIN or pattern etc.
Short instruction:
1. Download and install TouchTask. Give it necessary rights in Settings.
2. Create task in Tasker > Plugin > TouchTask.
3. In TouchTask Configuration menu:
In Actions field select TAP
Leave Selection method set to Point (x,y)
Type 716 16 within Selection point field
Set Number of taps to 2
4. Assign an icon to your task in Tasker
Now you can assign your Tasker task to any available gesture in your 3rd party launcher (i.e. double tap in Nova Launcher). After executing assigned gesture your phone will be locked exactly in the same way as if you were to double tap on the notification bar. This way fingerprint works like in LG stock launcher - no need to enter PIN or Pattern after unlocking phone with fingerprint.

Gestures for fingerprint sensor

Hi all,
I moved from oneplus 5 to 5t and the lack of hardware buttons is really bothering me. I don't like the software buttons at all. So is there a way to make gestures for the fingerprint sensor ( like swipe down for notification bar). For example double tap to go to home screen and swipe left/right for back/forward.
It's already there, the swipe down for notifications, controlled by the finger print sensor.

Yes I know that but I am asking for double tap or hold or swipe left or right. And maybe change the swipe down to something else then notifications.

It requires FingerprintGestureController API which is only available in Android Oreo
https://developer.android.com/refer...lityservice/FingerprintGestureController.html
I would like to see 'long-touch to take a photo' gesture work in every app that takes photos, like 3rd party cameras, messenger, snapchat etc.
Anyone knows where can we suggest/request this? Is this even possible?
Hi, I'm asking here instead of opening a new thread. I'm not an expert but I managed to get what I wanted after hard reasearch, but I don't want to spend hours before knowing it can be done or not.
I see that OP5t can open notification with swipe down on the fingerprint scanner or take a photo when holding the finger on the scanner. And this works without me having to register my fingerprint. What I'd like to achieve is using swipe on fingerprint sensor for scrolling content (a chrome page or other apps, like ebook reader) without registering my fingerprint. This is because I really don't use fingerprint at all (I actually never lock my phone in any way) yet I'd like to use the fingerprint scanner as long it is there (it's completely useless for me, right now).
I couldn't find anyone who did this and I don't want to spend hours learning how to do all of this and then find out it can't be done as I want. I even got tasker but can't find a "fingerprint swipe" variable. I saw several apps for fingerprint scanner gestures but: 1. they don't let me "scroll" pages and 2.they all ask for registering my fingerprint.
Summing up: I want to know whether you can add gestures to the fingerprint scanner. Is it possible without registering my fingerprint? If so, is it possible to assign swiping "scroll" as gesture?

Hey absolute85!

I use this app for fingerprint gestures. It doesn't have a lot of support, probably abandoned, but gets the job done. The only bugs I have is the slight lag for single swipe actions when you enable double swipe gestures but that too is understandable because the app is waiting to see if there's a second swipe. I haven't really tried it without registering a fingerprint but it shouldn't have an issue. Might be worth shot!

Thank you for your answer. Yes, that's very close to what I'm looking for. However I should buy the pro version, but I'd like to know if you can give some feedback about that. Using "swipe on screen" commands performs a swipe starting from the edge. So, for instance, when it performs "swipe screen down" it opens notification panel. I see there's "scroll", but I'd like to be sure that it works properly before purchasing it. Moreover it would be nice if it is sensitive so that if I swipe halfway it scrolls less than if I swiped all the way down with my finger (I hope you understood). Anyway it's already useful, I can use it at least on my e-reader up with swipe left and right on the scanner, thanks.

I don't really use those PRO features so never found the need to upgrade. Although had the dev been more active I might have just done it to support him. You can always buy it and if not useful claim a refund no? I think that policy extends to this. I'm not sure though. Glad I could help!
Thanks. Anyway I noticed that after installing it I had a change on chrome. When I open new tabs I see them as a list instead of little windows (like the multitasking for apps). When I uninstall it, everything goes back as before. Is there any setting in chrome to restore?

Is double tap to turn off screen possible

As the title suggests is it possible to double tap on empty area of Home Screen to turn the phone off just like we use Double tap to wake the phone.
This was an inbuilt feature on Asus Zenfone 5z and seems counter intutive to have only one option to turn the screen on and not off here.
Regards
One option; with Nova launcher
Yes, likely via custom ROMs.
Also, probably via custom launchers. Nova Prime allows double-tap to "lock screen". Double tap to "screen off" very likely via a specific 'Nova activities' option but I haven't figured this out yet.
EdXposed ---> install GravityBox ---> it's then possible to turn screen off via double-tap on lock screen or via double-tap on status bar.

You can use edge screen. SoftKey Edge. There is a lock option. It is not double tap but it works.
you can add the screen off icon at navigation bar with a samsung app called Navstar, with that you can single tap to turn off the screen
Good Lock - Navstar adds a navigation button to turn the screen off

You must have the prime license, in gestures&inputs there are multiple options to choose from, for each gesture you can choose any action available, you can even have the same action assigned to multiple gestures, I use one finger down to lock, and also double tap to lock

As i already have Nova prime, this worked perfectly. Thanks.
Nice just learned something new. Used nova star and added screen off and notification bar button. Now I have 5 buttons readily available.
Wish you could open and app with a button. That way I can reserve the power double tap for another app.

Feeling seriously numb right now. I've used Nova (Prime) for years, and never knew that was there. Searched all over for a good program to sleep/ lock. Found a very simply one (Screen Lock Widget 1.0) which is no longer available, but I have. Works great. No resources used. But having the ability in Nova is great.
So.....thank you for sharing that. It's the simple things in life.
It makes no sense why Samsung would give us the means to tap awake our screen but not add that option to turn it off.
That was a weird decision for not including double tap to sleep. It's like making an automatic car with clutch where the clutch is only used for the reverse lol.
Anyhow, this is by far the best app on the playstore that can put the phone sleep and still use the default One UI.
The nice thing about it is that you can also tap on the status bar to put the phone to sleep while using an app for instance.
Tripe tap on the home screen is recommended though, you'll understand why after using it for a while

That is very interesting, I never use always on display and it seems like the Note 10 has a lot of issues. For instance Samsung voice recorder app doesn't play recorded audios while the screen off( stops playing after 2min or so).

I just tried Nav Star app from within Good Lock (From Samsung App store) and added 2 extra buttons.
Thanks to the user who recommended it earlier, now I can turn off phone as well pullbdown notification bar from the Navigation bar, if I can get used to these extra buttons I might as well keep them.
Yes software wise they do need to improve a lot of things here.
1. First Install Good Lock :

2. Then Install Nav Star : http://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.samsung.systemui.navillera
Well, very useful indeed, but I prefer hiding the nav bar, just to avoid screen burn in and to get some more screen area

OnePlus AOD DoubleTap Mod

Short description:
Double tap on AOD screen to open lock screen
Description:
This app adds the ability to double tap on AOD screen to open lock screen, where you can view notification text and remove them with a swipe without unlocking the screen.
This app was made exclusively for the OnePlus 7th model and was tested on it, but should work on OnePlus 6 / 6T, 7 / 7T, 7 Pro / 7T Pro models and possibly on other devices with Amoled screens. This app is not tied to this brand of device.
Installation:
1). Activate application "OnePlus AOD DoubleTap Mod"
Settings -> System -> Accessibility -> OnePlus AOD DoubleTap Mod
2). Enable option "Tap the screen to show"
Settings -> Display -> Ambient display -> Tap the screen to show
How it works:
On the off screen, one tap turns on AOD screen, on AOD screen using this app, double tap opens the lock screen.
Double tap of this app works only on AOD screen! This screen is not completely off, it is a screen with a black background on which the clock and notification icons.
Source code and apk: https://github.com/XJIOP/OnePlus-AOD-DoubleTap-Mod
PS: Sorry for my english.

I'm on android 10: 10.3.0, and doesnt show option.
So the doubletap on aod to open lockscreen is working without this mod. Doubletap work on aod default android 10 for me. One tap to show aod doesnt work default rom. This I want (one tap to show aod).
This mod is addition to one tap to show AOD and must work perfectly is your phone locked with fingerprint. How it works in other cases, I don’t know.
This mod only turn on screen when you double tap on AOD screen.
I don't see the setting in ambient displays, im on Android 10 oneplus open beta
The option "Tap the screen to show" didn't appear.
Running oos 10.3.0
Same to me.
Work on ob3
Pretty sure this only works on 6T...
not work on Oneplus 6 with 10.3.0 !!
Doesn't work for me. It doesn't show the option in the ambient display although i activated accessibility service for the app.

Working great..
Works for me on 10.3.0. Although if you are unlocked (e.g. kept unlocked by Smart Lock), the double tap will bypass the lock screen. Basically this is a way to enable "tap to show ambient display" and "double tap to wake" at the same time.
Hi,
Just install and it works fine.

Question Get old OnePlus gestures back?

Coming from a OP7Pro, I have to say that these new Google gestures suck. Can no longer swipe from the sides to call up a side menu in various apps because swiping in from the sides now takes me back. I miss the old gestures where everything was done from the bottom:
Swipe up, bottom left/right: back
Swipe up, center: home
Swipe up and hold, center: recent apps
Trying to find a way to get those back but can't. Thought I hit the jackpot with the process in the link below, but I have an issue afterwards where swiping up from left/right of bottom combines both back and home commands and always takes me home.
Anybody have any ideas?
Revert back to old swipe gestures on OnePlus in Android 10 (OxygenOS 10) update
Here is how to get th old swipe gestures from Android 9 Pie on OnePlus phones running Android 10 (OxygenOS 10). Revert back to old Oxygen OS swipe gesture navigation on OnePlus 5/6/7/8.
www.androidsage.com
I think this method just disables the "swipe from left/right = back" function.
It does not enable "swipe up from bottom left or bottom right = back" like in the good old days.
I'm coming from a one+ 6... So also an adjustment for me...
I think OnePlus is trying to default all the things, left and right swipe is Google's implementation.
Me too i'm coming from a OP6 and want those gestures back, i already made a suggestion on OP site but i don't think it will happen since there were people on op8 who also wanted them but didn't get it.
Also with gestures app, i couldn't hide the navigation button bar with adb command so it wont work too
I personally like swipe from side for back. What they could do is make it work only in bottom 2/3 of the screen while the top 1/3 would be for bringing up hamburger menus. That's how it was with my old honor (which I hated) but this one feature really made sense.

Actually I think that method do bring back corner swipe = back gesture, the problem is that swipe up from bottom = home takes the whole bottom, it will get triggered with the back gesture.
You can confirm that by swipe from corner slowly, if you careful enough, you can only trigger back without trigger home action, or at least see two gestures are being triggered at once. Another proof is that after getting back home by swipe up from corner, if you open the app from recent apps switch, you can see that the app indeed got a back action(return to last page)
So I think if we can find a way to narrow the range for bottom swipe = home action, we can get this to work almost perfectly.

I have no idea what you mean dude
With Fluid Gestures, I have 3 areas at the bottom.
Left is back.
Middle is Home and Recent apps with Swipe&Hold
Right area is Back
And then I also have the Right Side set up to switch between apps.
See screenshots.

Nice, thanks for the tip. I'll try this. I have previously tried gesture apps but since Google removed that overscan item starting with 10/11 that rendered 3rd party gesture apps useless, they didn't work and I gave up. But I did not try with substratum or run in to that thread you linked.

Got it working. It wasn't working initially, then I realized I had to change from Gestures to Nav Bar Navigation within the phone settings. Thanks so much! It's getting closer to feeling like my 7 Pro!

What I mean is by using "settings put system op_gesture_button_side_enabled" method you do get the swipe up from bottom left or bottom right = back gesture. The only problem is you will always trigger swipe up from bottom = home/recent gesture alone with it, so it seems swipe up from bottom corner is not working.
I think if we can find some way to change the swipe up from bottom = home/recent gesture area, just trigger it by swipe up from bottom center we might get the original OP7 gesture to work.
Tell me the system version number, maybe I can make changes

Sorry, misread.
I thought you were talking about the NoNavbar route.
That's true.
The "settings put..." method does not work.
I do not think you can alter the bottom area to consist of 3 different touch area's. Left, center, right. And change the width of them.
But the link I provided does work.
Substratum lite, NoNavbar, Fluid Gestures.
I am using it right now...

We don't have to split the bottom area to three parts, just limit the home/recent gesture to center so it wont be triggered by swipe up from bottom corner should do the trick.

I love you.
I like "Lift phone to ear to answer a call" gesture.
I posted on Oneplus. They answer to talk to Google...
O posted on Google.., no answer.
I upgraded from OxygenOS (android 10) to KOSP 2.3 (running android 12) on my OnePlus 7 Pro. Everything about KOSP is better than OEM OOS except the stock A12 gestures. I wanted to run "Vivid Navigation Gestures" but the damn navbar was baked into the ROM.
This was the first solution I found that worked to hide the navbar! Thanks for posting!
