Is there a way / app that will let me make an shortcut to the previous app ?
This feature is available in gmd gestures but its not compatible with lollipop yet.
thanks

how about this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abhi.lastappswitcher&hl=en
If you long press the recents button or switches between your 2 most recent apps. At least it does for me on LS. I haven't used the stock room in a long time so I don't recall if it worked there.

Great suggestion but
Only switched between the last 2 apps.
Wish we could move around a few more

I wasn't sure if it would still work using GMD because I haven't used it in a while.

I'm really liking the new ROM, but I am curious what Halo does? Is it just a faster way to launch certain apps? The app says is optimized for Paranoid Android, but I assume you tweaked it to work well with AOIP. Help? Thanks.

Its reads notifications with you whitelist them and can open them in a floating window also you can add up to 6 apps and use them as a shortcut and they will open in a floating window. For example if you was on tube and you got a text you can text that person back without it interfering with your youtube activity.

Nice. I see how to add the apps running in the background, which can send notifications, but how do i get the icon on the homescreen?

Go to aoip settings and go to halo setting turn it on ypu can also customize it and when your done slide down in the notificarion tray you shoyld see a circle press it and it should be on your home screen. Now you need to double tap to drag it where you please.

Yeah it takes getting use to but its good for multi tasking if you have the need to and it doesnt kill you last activity which is nice about floating windows because it just overlays over your current activity
I know some people are looking for this. I have been searching through a lot of posts and found some Apk's that didn't work or worked through the Samsung theme blaba. I found one that works without too much trouble, install and reboot! Sometimes it will ask to be Uninstalled when you delete a app. Just click cancel, sorry for original maker but I cannot find the post where I found the Apk.
Make sure to have an alternate way of navigating before installing!

I love the concept but long home press stops working, and alternatives to the nav bar dont work in secure mode.
Does any one know of a working navbar height reducer?
I have tried a few apk's that were working on S8+ but they have no effect on Note 8.
Thanks in advance
**Edit**
Found one
What I'd prefer is the ability to see my nav icons only across the entire system, across all apps, but make the background of the nav bar transparent. Using no themes. Stock. Does that make sense? Things are transparent whilst I'm on the home screen, naturally. So that's not an issue. But across all apps? That's what I'd LOVE to have.

I believe both of those are the same because I am having the same issue. I think the problem is my fingers are too fat to properly hit those smaller icons. :silly:
Probably.
Have you tried reducing the DPI in developer options?
This also has the effect of reducing nav bar size.

That was a long time ago. I currently have it set up as follows.
You can see the height of the nav bar in one of the screen shots.

If you on Pie and using navbar you cannot hide it anymore.
Samsung has taken that option away.
You have to basically use the swipe gestures.
However if you use, certain apps like
eg
Shortcutter Quick Settings (Play Store)
I just tested it now, yes then you can hide navbar.
or maybe some Bixby remapper can do it.?
I however use the swipe actions .
Takes a bit, to get use to it,
but i now prefer swipe to navbar, as it seems pretty obvious
Samsung is "forcing" you to opt for
swipe.?
I've got a feeling that Samsung will drop navbar all together for swipe. (at some stage. or later ?)
Good luck.

I discovered that too recently. But the swipe gesture navigation is actually not that bad.
Not sure if this is the right place for this but does anyone know if this adb command still works to restore 2 button nav now that the 4XL has been released?
adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.twobutton
I've been trying to use full gesture nav since I got my 4XL a few days ago and I hate it. Looking for any way possible to get the pill back.

If you go into settings on your Pixel and search for Navigation - you will see there is an option to turn off Gestures and use the old Navigation - I prefer that way much better too - can't get used to Gestures - at least you have the option to use it when you want and go back to the old way when you want.
Hope that helps.

That's the first place I went but the 4 XL only gives you the 3 button option and I don't want to go back to that either. Feels like a rock and a hard place.
I believe that Artem from Android Police stated that the adb command no longer works, I'll see if I can dig it up.

Thank you for this. I was so lost the first day with my Pixel 4 with those dang gestures, but started getting used to them. Lets see if I like now the old way back. :good:
Ok found issue with old navigation. Anybody know how to clear all apps? I have to swipe each one and don't see the clear all button.

Ah man, thanks for this! I've really been trying to get used to using the gestures, but I need a break! I have found for the most part the gestures work for most things, but for others it seems a bit buggy, so it's nice to have options and totally missed this setting to switch back and forth so thanks:good:

Man, same here, and I never have used gestures on any device. Worst of all, especially, was getting Recents to come up, but I've gotten used to it now so I'm sticking with it

Hi!
I just upgraded to android 11. On Android 10 I used Vivid NG for gestures but because overscan has been disabled on Android 11 it's not working.
Has anyone found a way to get around it? I want to keep using gestures but I don't care for goggles side swipe too go back - it interferes too much with the apps I use

If I change to 3 button the navbar is still visible both in immersive and fullscreen. Also chrome keeps closing a few seconds after opening. I guess I'll just have to do with google's gestures for now ?

In my thread I have a mod available via substratum to remove/hide 3 button navigation bar. You just need to have a 3rd party gestures app already setup before enabling the overlay. If you don't care to mod the pixel launcher (the purpose of my mod), then just install the apk in the second post and just build the top overlay. The last post on the thread has a picture showing what it is.

I've always had issues with the regular substratum in Android 10 and have since been using Substratum Lite. That's what I recommend my users to use. Give substratum lite a try.
