Not sure who knows, but if you do a vertical "pinch out" gesture on the default OnePlus launcher, it brings you straight to the Hidden Space. I've linked a video explaining what I mean.

I did not know this.
Thanks!
I was playing around and just decided to try it. Who knew? It's like OnePlus his their hidden space gesture, waiting for someone to discover it.
Long press on an empty space on the home screen and enter the home settings. There is a selection at the bottom "Hidden Space". It explains this.

That is when you are in the app drawer, this gesture is done on the home screen.
Good find, I like it. Didn't know.

I recently installed ADWLauncher EX 1.3.3.56 and it was working fine and then suddenly a duplicate menu button is showing in the buttom bar. I tried reinstalling and chaning the General Behaviour > System Preferences > Customize menu but the freaking thing just wont go away!
I tried searching everywhere for a solution but it seems I am the only one facing it.
Screenshot attached
Mine has always had this button. But I find ADW is not quite compatible with the 7.7, especially in landscape mode.
Same here but it was always there. It doesn't really matter to me. Works much smoother than TW. Although it is correct that it's a bit off when it comes to landscape mode.
Sorry about that, i guess i did not notice it before
We will just need to wait for an update then...
Yeah I just noticed this too. Didn't used to be there. Not sure what happened!
Guys, just remove top bar, give more space for homescreens http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21833740&postcount=22

I think you misunderstand the issue here. Have a look at the picture in the OP.

I understood everything very clear. There's no way to remove bottom menu button since ADW designed to work on 2.x androids, but you can remove TOP bar with "duplicate" menu button so you'll have only one then and also additional screen space which will be freed by topbar.

Ahh I see what you mean now. My bad!
Just found out a little tip which many of you might already know. If you are missing the menu button, especially for outdated apps like the xda app, you can still access it. The note 4 replaced the menu button with recent apps button, but if you long press the recent apps button you will get to the menu function.
That is all. Have a good day.

Thanks for that. I was using a friends S5 last night and that was driving me mad. My note 4 is at home waiting for me to open the package
If they completely removed it, then yes but holding task switcher for a couple of more seconds then it doesn't bother me. What bothers me is that I have to hold the back button every time to access Multi window bar as app switcher only has opened apps.

App switcher has on every app window a icon on top right that does what you need.

You are welcome. It would have been a nightmare had it gone forever. Not all applications have that on screen menu button.
Brilliant, I missed that button... nice to know it's still there
Need a way to reverse the functionality from long and short press
Nope don't miss it. I don't even use the long press.

Its not about missing it just because you prefer to press the physical button. There are many apps which don't have the soft menu button. For example, go to Google Now and try to change the settings, but don't long press. Good luck with that.

I just did. Took less than 2 seconds. Then again, 6 of my past 7 phones all had on screen nav buttons, which I prefer

There is. There is no way Google didn't implement soft menu button when they themselves are pushing on screen nav bar and soft menu buttons. Open Google now and it's bottom right corner. Might need to scroll all the way down. That might be the only annoying thing about it but it's there and very easy to access.

Oh I see, thanks. I assumed it would be on the top right corner. However, there does remain other apps that don't have it at all. For example the XDA app.

I agree with what your saying. But you've picked 2 really bad examples. You can get to menu without menu button in xda!
I am used to Android tablets which don't have the menu button anyway, so I don't miss it on the phone.

Open up the left panel and whilst its open. The far right button changes to a settings cog.
People should have read the manual by now...
When you have the main settings up (wifi/bluetooth/data usage etc) you can swipe from the left to reveal...a second list of exactly the same settings (minus the current value). Clicking on the corresponding option there seems identical. Is there any reason this second menu needs to exist? Seems like a bug, unless I'm missing something.
It's a nougat feature. See here.

I'm still not really getting it though. "...using the slide-out menu eliminates the need to tap the back button, scroll, then select another setting category." Yeah, but not instead of tapping the back button you have to drag in the menu from the left. I don't really see that as being any easier. Still, I guess someone must like it.

Well if you are deep inside settings and then wanted to quickly switch to another section, then instead of pressing back multiple times to reach the main page, you can swipe in (or tap the 3 line icon) and jump to the desired settings. It's not very useful though, maybe that's why it was not included in Oreo.

Ok, got it. Actually, I just went a little too deep into the menu (wallpaper) and the option wasn't available from there. But generally it is. And I still prefer just tapping back. I'm still puzzled as to why options (left drag, hamburger etc) are on the left when most people are right handed and so putting them on the right makes more sense.

Maybe it's on the left to maintain the Left-to-right UI consistency across Android (Like swipe gestures from left to right, or the brightness slider).

Hi folks,
While locked, one can find the Barcode-scanner with a swipe from the bottom. That is, in fact, quite handy.
But, maybe I'm blind, I can't find that app/feature while the phone is unlocked. I know that the camera -app should recognize QR-codes automatically, but it doesn't react to barcodes.
If someone here could tell me, how to start that Barcode-scanner, that would be great.
Kindly, Marcel
Just scroll the home page to the left until you see a search bar
Or in home screen, swipe down from the screen ( not the notification bar) until you see a search bar
The left part of the search bar is the barcode scanner
Thanks, found it next to the searchbar...
But, can't one can start it directly somehow?
From the Lockscreen, swipe up from the botton. The most right icon.

I guess I will just use the way mentioned earlier, with the searchbar...

There's another way, a bit complicated, but it works:
Make a photo of the QR code and open the photo with the gallery app. Now tap the 3 dots for "more" on the bottom right and the last menu entry should be " Scan QR code in the picture" or something else (free translated from German EMUI).
I don't know why Huawei removed the EMUI 4 feature that the stock camera can read QR codes directly without any option. There was just a small button with "scan QR code" inside the camera app, when it recognized such a code.
swipe all the way to left. then you come to the search bar. the icon on the left of the search bar gets to the scanner. I have no idea why i cannot find the app anywhere elese.
Open camera app, in top left corner you have icon for HiVison(circle with 2 "wings"), click on that and then you have more posibilites, QR scanner, translate, shop, or recognizing.
Has anyone had any luck customizing 'Swipe left/right and Hold' on their Mi 9t Pro/K20 Pro so it can bring the app slide-out menu instead of going to the previous app? I know it can be accessed via sliding on the top part of the phone but not everyone has extra-long thumbs
I have root access and have tried almost all apps from playstore/xda but none of them seem to work even with MiUi gestures disabled
Never mind figured it out. I don't know why Xiaomi didn't mention that little trick on the gesture menu but If you double tap then hold and swipe left/right it brings out the apps slide-out menu :victory:
Did you mean recent screen by "the app slide-out menu"?
And double tap on where?

No he means any app menu where it slides in from the left.
If you double tap and hold on the left side of the screen it'll start to bring out the menu so you can slide right to access it

The same goes for the right-hand side swipe, provided that the app has a slide-out menu there, like most Reddit apps etc.
