Home Screen Blue Dot - Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers

If you're on any other screen you can do a quick swipe up from the bottom to take you to your home screen.
Do that swipe 3 times and a blue Dot rises with your recent apps.
What's the point of that?
Just an Easter egg?

Vegan Ginger RC1 home screen question

Is there a way to remove the black bars on the sides and bottom of the screen that fade toward the middle of the screen? I would rather they not be there if its possible to get rid of them.
Here is a link to a picture of the home screen on vegan ginger rc1

Hit 'Menu' -> 'More' - >'VTL Settings' and find the settings for dock backgrounds. Turn off the backgrounds.

[Q] Blinkfeed pet peeve / feature request

Hey All -
Sprint HTC One bought on launch day. Love it so far. If anyone has any suggestions on this pet peeve, post it up:
-Battery life is critical to me, so I opted to make my a clear panel (screen) my "Home" screen. With the Blinkfeed as the home screen, it refreshes the feeds each time you unlock the screen. When it's not the default, it only refreshes when you go to that screen or do the 'pull down'
-When Blinkfeed is your home screen, you can scroll down several screens, then if you hit the Home button, it'll scroll you all the way to the top
-IF Blinkfeed is NOT the default Home screen, the only way to get back to the top is scroll and scroll...which becomes annoying if you get >5 screens down your feed.
So, for any devs up to the challenge, can you tweak/add something like the following:
a. an invisible "fast scroll" bar on the right for scrolling back up
b. When Blinkfeed is NOT the Default home, still make the home button jump all the way back to the top
c. (my favorite) A two finger down swipe (gesture) takes the feed to the very top
Discuss. Thanks -
Blinkfeed top tip: you can tap the notifications bar to scroll back to the top. I think this also works for other scenarios (apps drawer is one I know).

Freakin' awesome....thank you. Guess they borrowed that feature from apple....
Additionally, there is this mod which enables the back button to scroll to top.
Also if you tap Home button it will scroll back to the top.

This doesn't work if BlinkFeed is not your home screen. The home button will scroll to your home screen in this case

3 dots for menu won't go away after lollipop

The three menu dots are showing up in apps that don't have it built in even though I have my home button set to open the menu on a long press. It's especially annoying now because it's an overlay that covers screen elements. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Split screen???

With one button navigation..how can we use split acreen. In legacy mode pressing square enables split screen so please can someone advise me
Swipe the home button to see the running apps. Press and hold the app you want to see in the split screen and drag it to the upper part of your screen.
Also knuckle gesture across the screen, or slide 2 fingers up from the bottom.
Thanks a lot..loving this phone after spending 7 months with iPhone 7

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
