Just got one l the one UI 2 beta update and looking for a pixel 4 style launcher to try the new Google gestures. I can't stand the Samsung home. Anyone know il of any yet.
Nova Launcher works great.
Lawnchair 2 is what you are looking for, exactly like my Pixel 3 XL
But none of these support the new android 10 gestures.
Action launcher is only one I know that supports the new gestures.

Is there anything additional that needs to be downloaded??
As far as I remember, no launcher works with full gestures...unless you are rooted...

I just came over from a Pixel 3 and third-party launchers worked fine with native Android 10 gestures (including Lawnchair). This is a Samsung limitation.

It's a limitation of how long it takes OEMs to update. The pixel update for older devices didn't drop until the beginning of December. It's still an issue caused by Google's source, we are just waiting for the update that fixes it now.
Anyone tried Nova and One hand operation (samsung store) together?
One hand operarion may work as a replacement for google gestures. Also is useful to lock screen using a gesture

One hand and any launcher has always worked. You don't get the animation like you would on the new gestures though.
Frankly one hand has always been better but I also think a lot of people:
1. Get on the Android hype train and think "no one can do anything better than Google's implementation"
2. Are over whelmed by configuring one hand op
3. Think it's a replacement for one hand mode that makes the screen small and never bothered
4. Simply don't know about it or have good lock apps in their country
A few honorable mentions, the people that used it early on and didn't know you could make the gesture area invisible so they stopped using it and the folks that think it's too slow or not smooth.

It's not really the same, specially coming from other brands that have Android gestures working how it's supposed to be.

How come the gestures work on non-rooted OnePlus and Xiaomi phones running Nova?

Because it's a completely different phone...
The fix hasn't been implemented yet on Samsung phones.
You ask that as if every oem holds hands and updates their software at the same time. Or as if it wasn't broken on the first phone to have Android 10 on it..
It was certainly broken and a fixed needed to be made for it, as far as why Samsung hasn't implemented it yet? I think that is a question for Sammy.
I have used one in the past called PixelizeD it's in the theme store I'm pretty sure it works just fine on both Android 9 and 10.
It's just a theme not a launcher but it gives you a pretty nice home screen.

You need to execute this adb command:
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural
OneUI2 is disabling this feature. Not the launcher.
Third party launchers like Lawnchair only "support" the full screen gestures, but they've not properly optimized it. You will get weird animations.

Gotcha.
Why not try it yourself? I do that every so often but always find my way back to Nova as well. Although I'm using the pixel launcher now until Nova fixes the back button always showing bug.
I've used it in the past. It's very nice, but it pushes their ecosystem pretty heavily so it doesn't make sense to use it unless you're a big Microsoft services user.
I have been using it for about a year now, very happy with it. Was using it on an S7 edge, and now on the 2XL. No complaints at all with it.
For me, total launcher only is serving purpose for so long. Never such huge customization possible launcher on play store till date.
MS launcher used a while back to try but it was not at all stable at that time and it suddenly used to restart and all my customization disappear forever.
yesterday i found the 'Fluid navigation gestures' app and it's awesome it has almost perfect gestures like xiaomi's ones and if you have root or give access via adb (it will not trip the knox)
I think is the best app right now until Samsung releases a new gesture system!
if you liked the app let other people know!
you can find it on playstore!

I also just found it around 2 days ago and guess what? Im currently running it now because who in the world would not love that all-screen estate? Navbars are hidden (with adb shell command) yet you can still navigate your phone. I've set mine like that of iPhone x's gestures and I'm really liking it.
In-app links and guides are pretty useful too because I'm a noob when it comes to adb shell, I know nothing yet I still manage to get it working. This app is still in its unreleased version but it is already so stable.
And ofcourse, to complement the iphone x gestures, I also have the ios 12 launcher together with samsung task changer.

why you don't just buy an iPhone?
using such a launcher uses a lot of battery and makes the phone laggy
i recommend you to try the hyperion launcher or Niagara ones

Sorry
I didn't specified ... I mean nova launcher and thoose ones are fine, i never had a problem but other launchers like fake samsung launchers and ios ones from the app store
I downloaded a few on my old phones and i had bad experience like ads from knowhere, ram optimizer (actually killing all the apps and then the phone started lagging etc
(Most of the time on thoose launchers there is a ton of bloatware that makes the phone suck)at least on my experience

Never conclude when you havent even tried them all, because there's always new launchers coming out. Never had those "bad experience" with my launcher.
Back to main topic now.
edit: it works now!
Thanks for that tip! Tried it, liked it, bought it. But even spending the money didn't make it the pro version it still shows the option to buy and doesn't allow me to use the pro features. Any suggestions? I wrote a mail to the developer but no reaction till now (I wrote the mail just a few hours ago so nothing to complain about that!).

i like OnePlus Gesture app. i think it's the best one so far
This seemed like a shill .. but daamn aren't that some nice gestures!
The app seem to come from / be endorsed by the MIUI team https://en.miui.com/thread-4147804-1-1.html
I was looking for an app like this, it's perfect.
If I remember correctly, Havoc Oreo has a kind of this built in ( although it's less customizable )

i agree. i've tried a lot of gestures apps and the problem with infinity display is that being curved sometimes makes you miss the back gesture (swipe from left or right) while with oneplus gesture u never miss one beacuse gestures come always from the bottom of the screen

That is my opinion because i had xiaomi device and i liked that future!
The app is great.
I had a Xiaomi Mi8 SE and I really missed the edge gestures it had. There are other edge gesture apps but this is the only one which adds those smexy animations like on MIUI.
I am probably missing something, but why don't you guys just use Samsung Good Lock?
There's "One Handed Mode" app enabling navigation gestures.
It has been featured on XDA, too.

Been using it for 2 days & it's working flawlessly. Loving it
I like it but do you know how to show navbar while playing the game I just what to use the navbar for screen recording.
Thank you.
thinking of buying the realme x but im not fond of the development history of realme devices they barely get any roms. maybe since this is snapdragon and not mediatek, things will be different. what do you all think?
I've had for about 2 weeks, and I am not regretting it.
My last phone was the 1+3 and I've had it since launch, the realme X is about the same performance with double the battery life and a good camera and great big screen for an affordable price.
it's worth a buy.
realme is something like OnePlus.
it's a subband of OPPO , not so independent like OnePlus.
In fact I'm not satisfied with the colorOS , too much change to Android pie .
I'm also 2w in and I love it. Coming from Samsung s8+ and it sure is much better in every way. In my opinion ofc ?

I miss skydragon OS on my 1+3, but nova launcher and google apps quench my thirst for now.

And regarding Development I hope this atleast gets Development as R3pro, which is quite decent.
Tho I talked with one of the Dev, and he be getting a Realme X, so ???.
I have used this for three month and no problems. So ye, worth i guess
Using it for well over a month now, changed the look of it (copied Dave2d's OnePlus 7 Pro setup) using Nova Launcher (Chinese rom so had to use adb to change default launcher) and third party icons, looks and feels way better than stock ColorOS, other than that ColorOS isn't too bad in terms of aesthetics, as far as the hardware goes got no complains whatsoever, Gcam works fine so camera is top notch, the screen is great, charging is great (also battery performance), it's totally bang for buck imo, no regrets.

Hi,
You have managed to change the standard launcher? You may provide some informaiton on how you have done it? I tried the standard methods but everything was grayed out or not even there. Also tried rooting the device but some security software safed me from this intention! Even my attempt from pc.
For other people: color OS is probably a good choice if you like a apple like OS. Except some restriction in customisation everything is fine. (It´s running now a week without any bug or problem) Play store is not preinstalled but with a quick search and apk installation you can download every app from play store except google now launcher it´s not supported on the device...
Actually I was planning to buy the redmi K20 pro, but after looking at the price of it changed my mind and ordered the Realme X.
As far now this is the best smartphone under 20k. There are no much difference between the Redmi K20 and Realme X.

I installed Nova launcher, then disabled the default launcher using adb commands, forcing the phone to use Nova as it's default (yes you don't have the option do it in settings, apparently Chinese ROMs don't allow changing launcher for safety(?) reasons) . But keep in mind that after using this method to change the launcher, the swipe gestures from both sides won't work, you won't be able to go to home using swipe up, so I had to move to swipe-up gestures, which is the swipe alternative of having virtual keys, you can use virtual keys as well. other than this everthing works perfectly.
I used this thread to disable the default launcher: Click here
** Make sure you have a launcher installed before disabling the default launcher, if you mess up you can always reset and start again, try not to disable things you aren't sure of as it can mess up the phone (learned from experience) **
I bought it for my sister in law before i sent it to nigeria. I can attest to the quality of the phone. the only thing that may piss u off if u are coming from stock android is that color os has so many animations (there are so many that there is a setting not in dev settings, where u can reduce animations. to me this reduction does nothing) that slow down how the phone seems to operate. Trust me its a fast phone but with all the animations it looks slow. Also if u buy the china version u would have to deal with some chinese text but u can uninstall a lot of everything that u dont want and install google play from apkpure and just move on with life. It was surprisingly a lot easier and palatable to deal with as a chinese rom than a Redmi Note 7 chinese version i had bought. The Redmi didnt play well with sideloading google services so i had to unlock the bootloader and load an Xiaomi.eu rom while the Realme is so accepting of a sideload that it looks native.

I've not experienced these issues on my P6P. I'm trying it now and Chrome and Pocket Casts seem to open up immediately. Same with the other listed issues: Clear All is there, and the animations look just a fluid.
Nova is working fine on my P6P, i can return to the home screen and open something else instantly.
Gestures have worked fine with Nova for some time, they worked from the off on my Pixel 5 and that was in October 2020.

Maybe I didn't search hard enough, but anyone know if it's possible to install the OnePlus launcher on the Pixel 6 Pro? I successfully installed, but it refused to load, even one install that was reported to work on any Android phone. I'm using ProtonAOSP with gapps.
I bought a Pixel 6 Pro out of love for its superior night camera which is fabulous for catching northern lights here in Alaska, but I absolutely love the OxygenOS launcher on my OnePlus 8 Pro. It's a weird request, I know.
All I have to say is,"why?"
Coming from One+ and Samsung..... All users flash roms to come to a Pixel UI and you want a OP launcher on a Pixel? I'm stumped
I'd recommend Nova7 as it's a better fit for phones than OP launcher.
If it's a tinkering matter I totally understand,but, OP on Pixel?
You can also try lawnchair launcher 12. I was missing a few things after moving from 1+ 8 pro to P6 but lawnchair did the trick for me. Basically a pixel launcher with some more customization.

Which features exactly are you looking for?
There are several available launchers on a Pixel, I can't think of any feature set that OP has that is not available, since you can customize about anything, including icons and how animations/gestures work.
As others have said. What's the point?
Anyway, installing the APK will not be sufficient as the OnePlus launcher also relies on a number of native libraries.
You will need figure out exactly which libraries and make them available in /system/lib(64) via a Magisk module.
Too much hassle for what ...
Specifically, I really like this one touch close all apps button. It's a good visual decluttering for me versus memory issue. If I feel overwhelmed by everything I have open, tap the one button and it all feels clean again.

Closing the apps in that way is not recommended and actually worsens battery use. Doesn't do anything for memory use either really as the phone has plenty and manages it well enough. This is why it has been gotten rid of in later versions of Android.

I remember using this on my pixel 2xl. Hasn't been updated in a minute though but it will do the job
One thing i like most about One plus launcher is to hide apps with fingerprint.
Left swipe to reveal but with fingerprint.
Is there any launcher which has this feature?
Check out Ruthless Launcher
Google Play Link
It has a clear all button on the left most page of the app switcher.
Also has app locker function with fingerprint unlock.
Dev is really responsive on Telegram and the app receives frequent updates.
It's customisable - app icons support, grid options etc, loads of features including At-A-Glance and Google Feed etc. Been using it for a few years now.
