you will get gestures with android P , in the meantime you can download the XDA Gestures navigation app

Yeah, unfortunately it's not there...

Its kernel feature and i think in future when sources releases we will be able to have it in custom kernels

Mi A2 gesture
Hi, I'm using MiA2 lite. I finally found the fingerprint gesture settings to scroll down notification.
Long hold on home screen - home settings - notification dots - swipe fingerprint for notification.

Fingerprint gesture is available on pie.

Swipe down on Fingerprint for notifications

Interesting, when should we get swipe down on fingerprint for notifications in Gestures, as it very helpful option for a 6inch screen?
From what I've heard, in Android 9.
The option is present in Mi A1. I wonder why they removed for Mi A2.
Definitely miss it. Use the Feedback app on the phone to add it a suggestion - I did.

swipe down & up in homescreen

How to change swipe down to pull down notification,
and swipe up to open app drawer in stock launcher?

Were you able to disable the built in gestures in the phone? I'm a fan of Oneplus gestures and I don't like the navigation buttons showing so I turned on the built in gestures to hide the buttons. The Oneplus gestures works as I like it to work, but the built in ones are also active so sometimes I'm touching those. Annoying..

Swipe Notifications Down From Anywhere on Screen?

Hi there,
Is there anyway to use the OnePlus feature of swiping anywhere on Screen and bringing the notification tray down?
I have a gesture app installed but it's not working well and you have to swipe to the right.
What about the xda gesture app?
Thanks
If you install Nova launcher you'll have that feature on your home screen
I have it. Do I need the pro version?
Thankd

I have been able to swipe down anywhere on the screen to bring down the panel from start. I use the standard launcher, the Space walk theme and full screen gestures and no buttons.

Hey! Same phone,stock theme..don't work double tap to sleep for me neither
I think it's not meant to lock the screen, it's meant to wake the off-screen to Lock screen and opposite.
Or don't you write about the option in the ,AOD' menu of preferences?

I think it's not meant to lock the screen, it's meant to wake up the off-screen to lockscreen (or if the '10 second AOD' is on) and opposite, to turn off the screen from lockscreen with double tab. That's what working for me.

Yes it's under the AOD menu. Maybe you are right, the double tap works on the lock screen both ways. Coming from an LG phone and so used to double tap to lock I do it automatically and missing it.
Thank You
Not for the homescreen, just the lockscreen. Maybe xiaomi devs will implement in the future who knows.
if you use another launcher it work perfect both wake and sleep (olauncher, lawnchair,... etc). double tap to turn off screen only work on lockscren and it is happen on all xiami device i think. alternately you can set shortcut on navigation bar by long press on home/menu/back button to turn off screen.
Go to setting-Home screen-system navigation-Button shortcuts

Thanks, my search bar couldn't find it, cause I looked for something with "double" but the term is "2x tab..."
If you want t2s on your homescreen. Just install poco launcher
It works only on lockscreen not on homescreen. You can add lockscreen widget on your homescreen.
this was a major issue for me with miui......
so I made a cool trick.
download one tap lock software from play store, then from gestures option of your launcher ( i am using smart Launcher, you may use nova or whatever you want) , select double tap > open app > one tap lock ( the one we downloaded earlier).........
now you will not feel this issue anymore and this is a bypass for this bug.......
double tap to lock doesnt work on stock launcher well it works from lockscreen , thats the reason i switched to different launcher but lost the gestures which were pretty cool full screen
When I use a launcher, the double-tap to lock works, but the navigation gesture doesn't.
Does anybody else have this problem too?
I have a redmi note 10.
MIUI 12
Android 11.

Open app drawer, there click on the 3 uneven lines on the top right corner to open the settings. Scroll through and there's an option to enable double tap to sleep.

Question Double Tap to screen off on launcher?

Seems like that the functionality in the settings menu is only working from lockcreen and not on launcher...
Is there a way (preferably with the stock launcher) to do it? many apps break the lock screen/fingerprint...
I'am on miui 12 global, all stock: got the phone yesterday from offiial MI store Italy...
I assigned a long press on the Home button to turn off the screen.
Search settings for assignable button functions.
Vai in Impostazioni Aggiuntive - Collegamento tasti.

Here on the Mi Note 10 (I'm waiting for my Mi 11 Ultra to arrive) it doesn't work either (for after the last update). And gestures also don’t work on other launchers (only in stock).
I simply have a widget on the home that locks the screen when pressed. Look in the widgets, you'll find it. Not the best solution but it works.
When you get to 12.5.4/5/6 the double tap to lock screen works flawlessly
Not working for me in 12.5.6

Xiaomi decided to implement full gestures only in stock launcher not in system UI and not in poco launcher within Android 11
Workarounds:
Install from GooglePlayStore:
Infinity Gestures
Fluid Navigation Gestures
Use CustoMIUIzer
Laucher -> Gestures -> there you have a lot of options

I heard about that, but for once I wanted to stay with stock launcher, annoyed too much in the past with nova launcher on NOT rooted phones ( on root phone was great )

I managed to "solve" for the moment this way, will wait and hope to fix this in the next release...

My Fluid Navigation gestures app dies after a while.
As in the gestures stop working (After a few minutes, or after a reboot), so had to switch to Edge Gestures.
Had Autostart enabled, Battery features disabled etc..
But didnt help. Is there anything additional that you did ?
Double tap works fine for Mi 11 Pro on 12.5.7 (same firmware) did not know it was available until I went through the settings again.

Weird I couldn't get it to work, I was double tapping on an empty space in home screen and it never worked except the lock screen.

It had stopped here once, then I put it in the control center (status bar), left it without the battery saving restriction and activated the automatic start. After that it hasn't stopped yet.
