Change gestures on finger id / 'external button' - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
I prefer deactivating the navigation bar on the bottom of the screen and using gestures on the fingerprint reader, now j was wondering if it is possible to change the gestures.
What it is:
Click for back
Long press for home
Swipe left or right for last applications
What I want:
Click for home
Swipe to left for back
Swipe to right for last apps
Is there a root free possibility to get that?
Thanks in advance

Is it possible to customize fingerprint scanner gestures?

Hi,
I have a short question - is it possible to customize fingerprint scanner gestures in the P10? Is there a mod or something to do that? I can't stand current selection, single tap should always be 'home'. My perfect set of gestures would look like this:
single tap - 'home'
swipe left - 'back'
swipe right (or up) - 'multitasking/recent apps'
swipe down - pull down the shortcut panel
tap and hold for 0,5 sec - screen off
double tap - toggle between recently used apps (P8 had this! Even bare bones Android has such function)
Give Tasker a try. I don't know, if it's working and if it won't make problems with the EMUI settings, but you can give it a try.
I have to say, that a swipe for everytime I want to go back would be very annoying. I was 9 years on iPhone before I got my P10 and had to get use to it, but know it's like an automatism.
Not going 'home' after tapping the "home" button is much more annoying. Besides the 'back' button is usually on the left side so swiping left is the closest thing.
I asked on the Tasker forums and one of the users said that it requires TouchTask plugin (for Tasker). We'll see.
Were you able to customize the gestures? Did tasker work? I don't use Google app (disabled it) and think there should be a remap feature... Should not be that hard to do...

Swipe left/right and hold gesture (MiUi 10)

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.

Android 10 gesture to open all Apps in Drawer mode

Hi There,
I got a little Problem. I updated to Android 10 and so far everything works really well.
There is one thing that bothers me. When you swipe on the screen from bottom up the App Drawer appears. Thats fine so far, but this happens everywhere on the Screen, not only when I swipe from the bottom, but when I swipe from the middle of the screen up it also appears.
Since I got a calendar Widget on my screen this is annoying for I can't slide through my events anymore without opening the App drawer. On Android 9 there were those little dots in the middle of the bottom line favourite apps. Is there any way to get them back and disabling this gesture for the app drawer?`
Thanks in advance.

have you tried Fluid N.G app? it has option to override default emui 10 gestures
The gesture is to wipe up to open the Appdrawer.... if I disable this, I can't open it anymore. I want my button back to open the appdrawer or that only the bottom of the screen responds to the wipe up and not my Widget

you can set gesture trigger area in this app

UI 2 new navigation gesture not working properly

I tried the new navigation gesture with "Swipe from sides and bottom" but both the left an right swipes act as "back button", I cannot bring the recent apps screen on with the side gesture.
How to fix this ?
You get recent apps when you swipe from bottom like for the Home but do not release the finger for one more second.

Notification bar icons

Is there a way to make the NB "icons" smaller?
Is there a way to add Screenshot to either the NB or as a quick touch button, besides the vol down/power method?
I don't know how to make the icons smaller but regarding your second question,
Quick Settings - Apps on Google Play
Fully exploit the potential of quick settings
play.google.com
this app can add any settings to quick tile. Just search for 'screenshot' and tap 'Enable tile'.
You can also take a screenshot from the 'Recents' menu. Swipe up slowly from the bottom and there will be an option for screenshot.
thanks. I'll try the app. The slow swipe doesn't work. Perhaps because I have 3 buttons engaged instead of gestures?
If you use the 3 button navigation, tap on the square one (right button) which will bring up the 'Recents' menu. The slow swipe was for if you use gesture navigation so it's the same thing.
got it
