Gesture support with third-party launchers - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

How do I enable the one bar navigation with third-party launcher? I thought the April update would bring the support of gesture for third-party but it really didn't. Any way to force enable them?

you need a launcher that supports the manager, an example is the lawnchair

I was in Android 10 some weeks before returning to Pie (via MiFlash) and i remember trying too many lawnchers for gesture control... and any of them worked. If Lawnchair is working now... great.

if you install an application FNG it will give you same gestures of android on any launcher on any OS ...

No new Google gestures after Android 10 Update

Hi guys, I freshly updated to android 10 and wanted to active the new Google gesture controls. But I only can tick the Samsung gestures and the "more options" button is greyed out. Anyone an idea what's up?
Thanks guys in advance!
Same here for me. Just installed the update and don't see the new gestures + disabled more options. Also if you choose the old Samsung gestures they don't work.
Update: Btw I'm using Nova launcher. Could it be that they only work with stock launcher?
That did the trick, I also had nova launcher. With the stock launcher, it does work...mmh but I would like to keep nova launcher

No new gestures after update

Just installed One UI 2.0 but I can't enable the new gestures. The "More Options" in the navigation settings is grayed out
Are u using 3rd party launcher?
Noticed that just now in the Nova settings, that you can't use the new gestures with another launcher. Neither do the new animations work with another launcher. Guess I'll be working with the old ones until maybe it does

Does this phone only work well with stock launcher?

Hey guy's I've purchased this phone today and I was curious if this phone only plays ball with its own stock pixel launcher, I ask because I'm using nova launcher and when I lock the phone and unlock it again there seems to be a black screen for about a second before it goes to the home screen and also double tap to sleep gestures don't work smoothly
Can anyone shed some light on this for me please and sorry if it is a noob question ?
I've used Lawnchair on my Pixel 4 XL and it ran smoothly for me, none of the issues you mentioned.
I've been using Nova from the get-go and no issues like you've described. Have you looked thru all of Nova's settings? Nothing to do with Transitions? What about trying to change the phone's animations all to 0.5x?

I love the animations on 1.0 lol I'm just gonna try a different launcher and hope the problem disappears
I too have been using Nova since October and never had any lag issues.
It's not lag per se it's more clunky animations plus I hate that you can't use gestures with another launcher hopefully this gets fixed in Android 11 I love the swipe right from the bottom to switch between recent apps

Google made it possible for 3rd party launchers to work correctly with Android 10's gestures. I am using Action Launcher atm and the bottom right swipe works correctly along the test of the gestures.
Guys, only the pixel launcher fully works with gestures nav on the pixel 4... yes 3rd party launchers kind of work but they are not fully working and glitchy. That's why there even is a magisk module called quickswitch that make lawnchair fully working with the gestures and animations.
Hope that helps...
I think if I've learned anything from these threads... it is that there is no consensus for this topic. My opinion is that Nova is working fine. This opinion conflicts with what feels like half of other opinions.
I think anyone making/reading these threads will need to try it for themselves and form their own opinion.

The only thing in Action Launcher that doesn't work is the apps at the bottom of recents. Everything else works just like pixel launcher. Gestures, animations, copy/share any text on the recents/overview screen. It does everything that the quickstep/quickswitch module can do without it.

I use Nova with all the gestures and animations with no problems, either.

Question Gesture and custom launcher

Hello, I have a problem with the navigation gestures and the custom launcher, Nova launcher in this case, but all the tested launchers had this problem. When I return to the home page and I tap on an application quickly after, the screen flashes and the application does not launch. But while waiting half a second after having returned to the home page, I do not have this problem.
The navigation bar doesn't trigger the problem and the One Ui launcher works fine.
Does anyone have this problem?
Watch my video to see the problem more precisely.
Eyah
Yeah. Nova devs said it's a Google limitation that they put on 3rd party launchers. So we have to wait til Google let's 3rd party launchers have some sort of access to something.
If you noticed, the lower corner have the white marking to activate google assistant that pops up.
This problem is also on Android 10 on most devices... Its a shame google doesnt dort this out...
You can have third party gestures 100 percent working on any Samsung phone if you install Hexed from the Play Store, create a custom theme and in the theme preferences check Navbar height and set it to 0DP. After you build the theme the navbar will be gone and you can use something like Vivid Navigation gestures for your navigation. You can even hide the battery icon and keep the percentage. I highly recommend the app.
I thought it was fixed with Android 11
I could be satisfied with the One Ui launcher but we can't at all install icon packs that come from the play store... Damn I begin to regret my OnePlus 7 Pro

I've thought the same... Its strange... Yes in terms of launcher oneplus is nice but thery Update policy ****ed me up... Had the 7t pro mclaren that im using as second phone and they said Android 11 on December 2020, now its february and nothing... Also security patch is November 2020. Samsung is way better innterms of update/camera/battery abd build quality...

Redmi note 9 how can I use a third-party launcher with android gestures

I would like to know if you can help me solve this problem that when I install a new launcher the navigation bar is activated automatically and if I want to change to gestures manually these do not work
You need to configure new gestures on new launcher.
