Navigation gesture - only Android 10 version? - OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers

Does the 7T still have Oneplus' own gesture navigation or does this phone only come with the standard Android 10 gestures? (I know the navbar buttons are still there if preferred)

OP's nav. gestures have been replaced with Google's.

I am pretty sure you can choose whether to use Android 10 gestures, or Oneplus's as before (swipe from down L or R for back), I saw this screenshot somewhere.
On screenshot I saw it was option: Gestures (left right) or Gestures (bottom), so I am almost 100% positive, you can choose.

This is right. You get an option to select Gestures (left right) or Gestures (bottom)

No, OnePlus 7T does not have OnePlus' gestures. It only has Google gestures. And I've read on the forums that some other model, I think OnePlus 7/7 Pro, also had them removed in Android 10 update.

I hope they add them back...Oneplus 7 had kept them though in Android 10...

I have the device, it is really annoying that it only has the google one. If only they added it back. Anyone found any workaround?

Using vivid navigation gestures from app store and works well. No more assistant and can use lmt pie launcher again.

I'm late to owning the 7t so I have no experience with the OnePlus gestures.
I'm curious to know what advantages it has over Google's gestures?

The assistant gesture is really annoying...
Can not be disabled?

Android P Gestures vs Fling Navigation vs iOS Gestures

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.

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.

Gestures Vs Navigation Bar

I'm curious, for those running Android P. Who's using the gestures vs Navigation bar vs something else like OnePlus gestures/XDA navigation gestures.

Ive been using edge gestures with immersive mode since last year and love it. I tried the Android p gestures and couldn't stand it.
I don't have Android P yet but when I get it I will be turning the gestures off. I hate gesture based navigation. Not intuitive at all.
Been using gestures daily since DP3. It was really laggy and stuttered with DP2.

Yeah, they work fine now on the latest beta. No issues like before. The only big problem I have with them is they still take up the same amount of screen space. Wish they could figure that out. And ditch the back button arrow in favor of a left swipe of the pill.
Android P gestures and I like it, but I wish there would be a built-in "back" gesture
I use xposed edge pro. It can do just much more than the other options.
Inonow you are asking about android P, but this will likely be what I use when xposed is updated to P. And this is also the reason I will in all likely hood stay on oreo until xposed has been updated.

I'm using 'OnePlus gestures'* (along with 'hide nav bar') which has this. The app is working flawlessly for me, and is what the Android P gesture UI should have been.
I'm helped by the fact that I also use a OnePlus 5t, so I keep trying to use those gestures on my Pixel anyway!
*The app is not free, but it's one of the best apps I've bought.
I tried the navigation gestures app from xda and has many more ways to customize the gestures, but ultimately, navigating using just the bottom edge of the screen is not comfortable and much slower than on screen buttons. IMO, Gestures should be triggered from anywhere on the screen, but still won't be as fast

I'm using the ones introduced in OneUI v1 on the S9. "Full Screen Gestures", "Gesture Hints" is off.
I don't use the new Android 10 ones, because I use Nova Launcher, and there's an issue with the new gestures when using a 3rd party launcher (Every Android 10 device. This isn't a Samsung Issue.
Im using fluid navigation gestures, all but the bottom gestures work great. But i have setup FNG so that i really only need side gestures anyway.

I looove Android 10 gestures but the lack of support on 3rd party launcher is awful so I use Samsung's gestures with hint off. Hopefully Android 10 gestures will support 3rd party launcher soon
I'm still on Pie, using Samsung's gestures. The main reason I left the beta was the lack of support for Nova launcher. Any word from the folks who have the stable version? Have they fixed the launcher issue yet?
I am using nova with full screen gestures. To enable use adb - adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural

If i do that is it somehow possible yo use a gesture to open the notification bar from any app? Not only in Nova.

Full screen gestures(sides for back version) work fine with oneplus 7 pro on Android 10 w/ nova launcher, so far only Samsung disables them if using a third party launcher.

Android 10 nav gestures on 3rd party launchers?!? It that's correct, this is the best news of the days
The back gesture with swipe on either side of the screen is super annoying. In apps like discord or Amazon or any app with the option to swipe from left side to open menu bar is pointless now.
You have to press the menu bar icon in the top left corner now. They should give us an option for which side of the screen can be used for back gesture

Nova was straight up blaming Google. The December security patch notes state the full screen gestures now work with 3rd party launchers.
My guess is either One Plus fixed it themselves, or they included whatever fix Google did for the Pixels.

yes but I think you cannot access the recent apps

One UI 2.0 new navigation bar gesture

Previously, double tab recent tab will switch to previous app.
For Android 10, I need to press and drag from center to bring up recent apps. However, I can't find faster way to switch to previous app.
Any one know how?
If you do that motion (for recents) and flick it to the right in just one motion switches back to previous app.

I switched back to the original one. Double tap is so much easy. I use One Hand Operation+ which can go back the same way.
And I use Nova Launcher. New gesture is not compatible

I don't have the Android 10 update yet but from what I see in the new Oneui2 you can just swipe to the right at the bottom to go to your previous app. Doesn't get better than that. It's just about the same as iPhone gesture.

I tried this method https://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-...ova-launcher-and-other-third-party-launchers/ but it always seems to go back to the nav bar at the bottom after a while.
I don't know if anyone else is facing the sake issue in regard to the navigation gestures. But when I type faster on the screen keyboard I sometimes end up in the home screen or launching another application as if I hit a hidden home key or recent key.
I use gestures (no navigation bar)

I still haven't received the Android 10 update but I will definitely look for that when I get it. Thanks q
I recently found out that good lock does not work on android 10, and I rely on it very much, I use one handed operation because I hate the nav bar, I can not tolerate having all the space it takes being wasted, so I have it hidden and I use gestures, but I am seeing that gesture nav is a nightmare on android 10, I think I will stick on blocking the update, as I did since day one, precisely because of these things

I'm on Android 10 and have Good lock installed, One Hand Operation+ works fine. Not all apps are available in Good lock yet but should be within a couple of months, like when One UI originally came out.
One hand operations+ works also on Android 10, with that you have granular customizable gestures including switch to last app, recents and a comfy lateral quick switch for all app opened! OHO+ works also without good lock app installed, you can sideload it from apkmirror or here in the xda forums taking advantage of nicelock. Nicelock also integrates an information tab with all the modules working on Android 10
Hex installer is working
On andriod 10. Hex installer fixed the weird nav bar issue when set to swipe. I set the nav bar size to 5. Swipes work without the huge black bar under the keyboard.
One hand operation still works. I use nova but one hand operation is my preference anyway.
Also, I cannot hide the carrier logo or move the clock. I tried systemui turner. It doesnt work for clock or carrier. Some other functions work though.
For now I just set the weather consistent notification to get rid of the AT&T on statusbar.
Hopefully goodlock will fix this when updated.

Good Lock is updating to be more compatible with Android 10. It is not finished yet. When all capability issues are resolved and updated, that's when we will get our update.

[GUIDE] (Non-Root) How to get back the old OnePlus Gestures from OOS 9 - 10 (Kind of)

I am on the OnePlus 8 Pro with OOS 11. Two apps you need.
SetEdit and FNG (or any other gestures app you want)
Steps:
Go to settings and turn on "Navigation Gestures"
Open SetEdit and find "op_gesture_button_side_enabled" and set that to "0" instead of "1"
Open up FNG and set it up with all the permissions that are needed
Disable "bottom edge" in FNG and only use "left edge" and "right edge" since there is conflict when "bottom edge" is used
Set them up the way you want, and now you can use hamburger menus again!
This should work for any OnePlus, and any version since this tutorial is from the OnePlus 5 and 5t
You can disable the activation of Google assistant by going into Settings > apps and notifications > see all apps > Google > disable
Can't believe no one gave you a thumbs up for this.
Nice one.
Very nice guide.
Now I can use LMT Launcher with Stock OOS Android11.
Great guide! Kudos
Is there a way to get this to work on AOSP roms?

I never used the gestures from prior versions. What is the difference between the standard android 10-11 gestures and the one you describe?

The old OnePlus gestures were a simple two button operation, from the middle of the bottom, it was either home or multi task. And the side of the bottom was back. Now the new ones change position when you flip your screen, so when watching a YouTube video, you have to swipe up twice from the bottom. The old ones you just had to swipe towards the camera from the charging port. The new gestures also have a really ****ty back button, the entire edges of the screen are back buttons now, which means no hamburger menus will work anymore. I am very frustrated by this change, so i hacked up a little solution.
