I can manage to use the phone with one hand but I am getting Carpal Nexsix syndrome. Need good app to facilitate one handed use.
Maybe rather than an app, look into a Fly Grip or something similar?

Yes - I am hoping someone ports (or creates something akin to) the Samsung Galaxy Note One Handed Mode app. There was/is an Xposed module that accomplished this.

Its possible with a custom ROM. Hopefully Xposed will come before the end of Q1 next year but I doubt it.
I have found that using Nova with gestures works well in combination with Pie Control. I've turned off the softkeys as they require quite a stretch to use one handed. The extra screen real estate is nice.
I have my most common apps arranged in an arc a comfortable distance from the bottom right corner on my primary home screen and use upper left for a weather widget that I don't need to touch. The keyboard is a bit of a stretch but I'm able to use it one handed.
I had the Note 2 and never used the one handed mode. I hated it. I have big hands and prefer bigger phones anyway.

Check out GMD Gesture Control.
Been using it for a long time and couldn't do without it.

It does not work for me...unsupported multi touch device... Tried manual settings and it just doesn't work. Not spending $5 on full version if lite version won't work...
How were you able to get it working? Never mind...
Pie Control Pro + root + disable soft keys = :thumbup:

My bad. Hadn't even tested it on my N6 yet.
Used the crap out of it on my Note 3 and oneplus.
Since the back button is on the bottom left of the N6 I don't need GMD as badly though.
Hi guys,
I'm asking if there is a feed or something other for edge screen features to unlock my phone swiping along the edge screen...I already use this feature to see notifications and news, but I want to know if I can use this swipe just to unlock my phone...
Anyone can help me? Thank you
Doesn't look like there's a way to do it. Besides, it takes a few seconds for the information stream to come up on the edge screen after you swipe anyway - it's much faster to just press the home key and be done with it.
Certainly the use of physical keys is faster, but I miss the double tap that I had on my old lg... I would like something like this without using physical buttons on my Edge+ without root or lose warranty
@nemero16 there is a way to do that with an app called "shortcusts for s6 edge" in the play store

You could use @trailblazer101 's Quick Launch feed to unlock your device and launch directly into any app you choose. Does not require root.

Hi every ones (sorry for my English i'm french). I'm happy to have an S6 edge + since 2 month then i go an idea. Like i saw that the edge is not fully use i was looking for some apps witch could navigate in multi tasking by swipe on the edge.
Ex : Swipe from left to right to open previous apps launched
I tried to some app like Gmd GestureControle but i can just open de multitasker
If youknow some issue ...

Not to my knowledge, no. Right now, I think that the best you can do is configure long press and double tap. I also remember there being an xposed module that lets you swipe an edge of the screen to go back iOS style.
Hi there!
I want to know if you prefer to use gestures or buttons on your daily use and why.
Personally I found buttons more easy to use, but now I'm using gestures and, with a bit of familiarity I can say they are better (and system is more beauty without the 3 buttons)
I agree : what the point of having a large full screen... if you still have a range of buttons at the bottom that "cut" the screen ? I'm now used to navigate with Miui gestures and do not want to come back to the older way by any means !
gestures for ever ! ;o))
I've tried both and I can't really pick one. I keep going back and forth.. I agree I feel like the buttons are really old in Android and gestures a much better for big full screen smartphones like the RN7 but I guess time will tell which I'll end up using daily.
From the moment I tried the MIUI gesture system, I don't want to go back to anything else, it's just too good. Thankfully, I can emulate them in like 95% on other ROMs thanks to Fluid N.G.
I still prefer buttons.
I'm a bit faster with them and i use the press and hold functions (torch etc.)
A clean fullscreen is more pretty, no doubt.
But on a 19.5:9 screen, i don't care if i lose that 1cm at the bottom.
I got used to the one button nav from my previous Moto g5 plus. So I enabled full screen gestures day one after getting the note 7. It's better than the soft buttons and easier to navigate around on this tall screen.
Gestures all the way, it really makes you feel better with 6.x screens, fluid and easy to learn
gestures exclusively. When I received a blackberry Z30 for my job in 2014, I really loved the gestures they implemented. It allowed for a smaller chin and more screen real estate. Ever since then I had to go "back" to regular buttons when they upgraded me to an android phone and when I switched to android privately, and it felt like a step back.
Now that we have those full body phones, using gestures feels great again.
I'm old and I don't like change anymore. Buttons for me.
I tried gestures, but it's hard to use gestures with a decent case. Not only that, some apps have native gesture stuff in them and somehow those override the MIUI gestures. I went back to the buttons after few hours.

+1. For example, telegram. I prefer buttons for now

haha, same here.
However, I also have gestures, loads of them, using Gesture Control. I still like the phone buttons to be present, and Gesture Control over MIUI's own gestures which are just too elementary, too limited.
Tried gestures. Didn't like. Went back to buttons. Maybe Android 10 or MIUI will improve things, but I'm staying with buttons for now.
Gestures. More real estate and actually I find it easier to navigate with gestures.
I am using gestures for 3 months now,only thing buttons are better for me is double tap to go to previous app is faster and I find it easier to start multitasking by just holding one button and picking 2nd app, then swipe and hold,then press and hold and click again then choose 2nd app.
