full screen gestures

I've enabled full screen gestures and I'm using Google keyboard with swipe.
Afkomst every time I start with the letter p, I'm using the back feature. Quite annoying.
Anyone experiencing the same and has a possible solution?

Xposed + Gravity Box + Enable Pie Control, then just configure the trigger edges the way you like.
Works so much better than the gesture control.

What version of miui

I recommend Edge gestures from the play store.

I've had some bad experiences with Xposed lately, phone froze for over a minute after receiving a call. I think Xposed and GB are a bit overkill for this. But thanks anyway for your suggestion.

Look into LMT launcher then.
Unlike it's name it actually isn't a launcher but a very minimalistic open implementation of Pie controls.
It requires root to function properly but at least no Xposed is involved.

I might try that. But the choice is between either on screen buttons or gestures in Miui. How do I disable gestures in Miui without having the buttons?

Thing is that I don't want the on screen buttons and I do want MIUI full screen gestures. I guess that's not possible, in MIUI it's one or the other. I'll have to live with that or use another launcher. Minor issue, since the phone is working excellent!

Yeah for that your only options at the moment are either to run the unofficial RR build with Arasthel's gestures baked in or Xposed plus Xposed Edge module.
The next best thing you could go for other than that would be XDA's gestures application, but that one simulates the gestures as found on the iPhone / OnePlus devices, so they work a bit differently (the back gesture works differently).

You can edit your buildprop to tell your phone you have hardware keys. It will then remove the navbar for you. You can then use edge gestures, Swipe navigation etc.

Easy if your are using magisk.
1.- Disable gestures.
2.- Install "Hide navigation bar" magisk module.
Best regards.

Or disable them via a adb setprop command without requiring root, etc.

Where i can find the RR rom with miui gestures

Andy Yan's thread. It's a collection of roms he compiles.

Make gboard smaller by entering one hand mode, then relocate keyboard in the middle. I use this with Huawei Mate 10 Pro and it's the only way I can still use the full screen gestures and enjoy the experience.

Huawei Launcher

Hey friends,
& Especially for you who are rocking the China version. You brave souls.
I'm curious to hear what you think of Huawei's default launcher? Opinions? Thoughts?

I'm using Mate 10 pro right now and I've bought Nova a couple of years ago. Nova is the best launcher for me, but huawei luncher is not bad either. I've used it for a year now heavy modified and westernised. I'll publish my review after I get the Mate 20 x next week.

Neato. I used Nova since I got my Mate 9, but it sounds like only the Default will work on the new Chinese versions.
Are you getting the China version?

It's very functional, but relatively slow and laggy - that's my experience on both the P20 Pro and Honor Note 8.
The HN8 is my main phone. I'm using Trebuchet at the moment, which is immensely smoother and faster.
There shouldn't be a problem using 3rd party launchers after 9.12x.xxx updates, but currently you'll have to go the adb method of removing Huawei Home to force the OS to choose your already installed preference, as Huawei had removed the option to select another launcher as default after complaints about malware etc - after an outcry it's now going to be reverted.

Yes, but I haven't plan to use any other launcher than stock anyway. It has its advantages and it is more customizable than one might think.

Oh. :fingers-crossed:

The Huawei Mate 20x launcher is A-OK. It is not laggy or problematic. If you want to use a third party launcher prior to the Huawei home manager fix, use Twisted Home Manager and gestures only for navigation in both the launcher and phone.

The Twisted Home Manager works.

Dosn't work for me. Or I don't know how to use it.
The instant I touch over Nova Launcher it opens de app, but doesn't change the default launcher.
Can you tel me how did you changed the default launcher?
Thanks a lot!

They all say use wicked launcher and stuff but what they really mean is just go click nova launcher and it will launch but don't hit the home button or anything. You can only use gestures.. Which honestly to me isn't replacing the launcher when only doing setting the default launcher to me is "replacing the launcher"

Doesn't work for me either. Have gestures only setup but any swipe to get the multi tasking view always reverts it back to the stock launcher.

What did work for me was deleting the Huawei Home using adb:
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.android.launcher
After that, the system used the other launcher available (Nova in my case).
The only downside is that the swipe up for home using gesture navigation doesn't work anymore. The nav bar though, works perfectly. It bothers me because on the Honor note 10, with previous EMUI, you could change the launcher and the gesture still worked.
Thanks to mudnightoil who pointed this out before in this same thread.

Got it. From typical computer window. While phone is up and running and after saying allow for the ADB connection on the phone. My hold up was changing USB from Charging to MTP and resetting/checking that USB is really set on.
Now I wish I could kill the repeated "remove the malicious (all non-China) apps prompt.

I like the standard launcher. Just wish the would fix it so the home screen would landscape like my M10 Pro does

I saw someone reported the default launcher could be staggerring, though I would like to share my input.
I have been using Samsung phone from Galaxy S5 and I have been turned the animations off in the Developers mode. I didn't see the difference turning them off nor the need of keeping them up. If you were willing to try without the animations for a few days, you probably will like it that way.

where is developers mode I can't enable it

Same as in many, go to about phone and tap on the build 5 times. It shows up under abnout phone, but under ther bottom advanced drop down menu. (I don't know why it seems the most useful items are under the last entry on menus with a "v" indicator). It is often easier to just search from the top of settings.

Android Q Gestures + 3rd party launchers

Been struggling with this lawnchair, nova, and pretty much every launcher i tried disables the gestures and reverts me back to 3 button navigation bar..
Any suggestions?
Funny thing is, it works fine as long as i don't set nova\lawnchair as a default - i can continue using those launchers + gestures.
Why would this funky behavior be?

It's just the way Google programmed it. Ask Google.

My guess is it has to do with the way the new gestures and their animations integrate with the launcher (the app minimizing to the icon on the home screen when swiping up, etc.) and they're working on 3rd party support for that. They said it'd be in a post-launch update, but there's no ETA on that yet.

Pull down the notification bar from anywhere on the screen?

Hi, have a rooted phone!
And i haven't yet found solution to enable pull down notification panel option from anywhere on screen.
I am able to enable this option by installing Nova launcher and similar apps.
But i am looking for other ways, like modules, guide or something else.
Thanks. Whish you all the best

Shouldn't the notification panel already can pull down from any screen already?
Or I misunderstood notification panel?

yeah this seems like a way to go for you

Tried the gestures with 2 and 3 fingers and on Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite they don't work.
Checked Google and Pixel launcher is the only stock launcher that can do it stock... at least from the first page of Google results.
I have this function on Resurrection Remix rom on another phone, but I mostly find it annoying. It's a better option to use the fingerprint to open notifications.

It looks like OP solved the issue just for the record also Lawnchair and Poco launchers can do it fine.

Nova launcher does the job too

Question Nova launcher Problems and floating windows and other bugs

Hi I have a new poco F3 8/256gb and it comes with Miui 12.0.2 but I have problems with nova launcher, the buttons recent app doesn´t work and only shows a blanck screen without any of the app. I tried with Apex launcher with the same resul. Then the icon for floating windows only apears on the control center icon and not on recent app, so the usability is very poor. Another problem I have is the bar of gesture on the botton of the screen sometime disapears and sometimes not. I search on the net and a tried, developer option miui optimitation with no positive results, hope Xiaomi release a new update soon.

It's a problem with poco launcher that broke recent apps if you install another launcher.
See here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...12-2-2-4-eu-version-android-11.4215795/page-2
I have installed the new version and it's ok now for me with Microsoft launcher

It's not miui, it's android 11. when i was using mi9t with PE, no third party launchers work really well. lawnchair and shady launcher do release their alpha versions and it's usable, not perfect, but, yeah, usable.

Lawnchair Alpha doesn't work, it's the same problem. The moment you enable Lawnchair gestures are disabled.

I had the same issue on my F3 with Nova Launcher
Thanks to @stevejc, I just installed Poco Launcher v2.20.1.26 and got back the recent apps in Nova !

But I have also lost floating windows !

thanks to @stevejc for his answer I update the poco launcher and my nova works perfect but I still have no floating window options in a recent panel. anyone can help me with this?

The only working tip is to use the quick settings button for each app.
I don't have also the icon in recent panel too.

Full gestures don't seem to work for me if I use custom launcher only traditional Dock navigation bar works. Even if you still insist using full gestures restart brings back old navigation. However I tried this app it seems to make full gestures work? Restart old navigation does still return but we can continue use full gestures. Can anyone confirm? If it works more than just me I might buy it.

Pls ignore the app I recommended. When it works it works but it can suddenly stop working. I am going back to poco launcher until there is a fix or someone recommend a working gesture app.

sorry I can´t confirm because a I use the poco launcher now

I got a reply frm an xda developer. He develop gesture app for earlier androids. He said he can't help us. So I am guessing other gestures might not fully work either?

Guys more of you need to submit feedback / bugs complain I get the feeling xiaomi will not fix the full gesture with custom launcher issue. This their respond despite telling them oneplus has no issue with nova on android 11. I got a oneplus 7t pro.

Hi I'm using microsoft launcher and the app my gesture and it'working.
You can turn off or not the nav bar with setup gesture on miui setup page.

You have any issue of it suddenly stop working? I did. Its same with all others I tried they can suddenly stop working if I don't have 3 dot at bottom it be an issue. Mygesture suddenly stop working according to app accessibility stop responding I need to restart. Turning accessibility on off for it didn't work only restart did.

You need to avoid stop the app in recent apps screen (first icon).
Also I give the app the Start automatically authorization and no battery optimisation.
I have the same problem if I kill the app but with the previous settings it's OK.
I can hide the nav bar, only after reboot they come again.
To hide them add gesture in Miui settings
