Hello guys,
Does anyone know of application which improve single hand operation of the device's large screen?
I have install Lazy Swipe and looking for more. I'm thinking of install Dolphin browser as well because it has activation from the corner which can help with the single hand operation.
Planning to get more gesture control operation on the device too.
One of the thing which is bothering me is the notification bar. I'm surprised Sony didn't include any brightness control on the notification drop down bar nor there is a control for volume.
I don't like using the hardware key as they can get ruined + the casing aint great.

Not really sure how to help you but you can try using Nova launcher coupled with gestures to launch all the application you need.
I have a small hand but I think one hand use is not that tough though.

Is there any way to replace the menu button with a statusbar drop down button? Something like the LG one.
I can lock the screen using shortcuts with the home button, but pulling down the status bar is really hard for my small hands.

You can use launchers which support gesture to do it. But note, it's not global, only occurs when using the launcher.

Can someone make a module that replace the navigation and with gestures like on iPhone X? I really like the idea and I want to see it on Android .
Thanks!

What would be the gesture for the back button? Swiping to the sides switches apps in the iPhone. The android ui relies on the back button.
Check all xposed modules

I don't know what exactly you are looking for, but have you tried Xposed Edge Pro? It is fantastic... and powerful. Probably will fit your needs.

Besides it Xposed Gesture Navigation also deserves a try.

Click on the edge of the screen? Or maybe hold?

I use swipe down on right edge center.
Up is menu.
Press and hold top is fast upwards.
Press and hold bottom is fast downwards.
Press and hold center is a pie app switching related.
Press and hold left edge center is general pie.
Press and hold bottom edge center is a pie clipboard related.
And lots of other stuff..... All with Xposed Edge Pro.
Needs Refinement
I love UI changes, so over the years I've tried things like Android Pie, Gesture control, exposed modules, and even multi window stuff all the way back in the tablet days of Android Honeycomb.
The problem is the lack of response breaks them.
When I swipe from the bottom I need instant feedback (visual/audio/haptic or all three) as to whether or not the phone thinks I'm scrolling down or going home.
When I realize I am scrolling down/going home and I want to be doing the opposite action, I need to be able to stop the gesture mid-way and reverse my action.
I need to easily be able to distinguish between the two gestures so that if I do mess up, I know what to do to get the desired result.
I need all other apps to accommodate/not request this gesture.
The iPhone does this well by having a bottom bar, you pull the bar up to go home, you swipe somewhere else to scroll. There is instant visual feedback, and the action can be stopped midway.
For Android here is a non-clone example.
1. Have a bubble/circle (looks like a chat-head) right where the home button is.
2. Swiping up behaves similar to pulling down (refreshing) on chrome/many apps. You start pulling and there is an animation but the action does execute till a certain threshold.
3. Swiping right-to-left has similar animation but for back button
4. Swiping left-to-right does the same but for multitasking
5. Long press for something else
This is not radically different from other gestures or Android Pie, but I believe the small changes and refinements would take it from being impractical to smooth and enjoyable.
I like the new iPhone X's "swipe bar" and I would love to find it on my android phone.
In my opinion a dedicated visible bar is better than "swipe on the edges".
Why? Because even "swipe on the edges" works obviously with a small area of the screen (otherwise is impossible to detect swipe gestures), but this area is transparent, which is cool but also bad: sometimes when you just tap on that area (when you're typing on the keyboard for example) an involuntary swipe is detected.
So in my opinion a visible bar like the current navigation bar is necessary.
But is definitely unneccessary such a big area!
So I imagine the perfect "swipe bar" a small, minimal and animated (when touched) area.
User should be able to map up to 4 different swipe gestures (up, right, down and left) and tap gestures (one tap, double tap, long press, ...)
I drew some concepts of the "swipe bar", what you guys think?

You mean something like this
So, i have a annoying problem with my Mi9, well, is not with the phone but with me...quick story short:
I have used a G6 for a year, the LG Keyboard is awesome and quick, and i like the way it work, now with Mi9 i cant have LG keyboard cause none of the port's work on my Mi9, at least the 2 i try. So, i use Google Keyboard and notice something stupid as f*ck:
- when i have the navigation bar in the bottom like back, home, menu/recents i can type well with rare to none error typing, when i have gestures enabled (of course without navbar buttons on) and even if i resize the google keyboard height to their highest i miss the keys i want to press, like i want to write an "o" or a "p" or a "m" all in the right side of keyboard but instead they press the "L" key a lot of times and thats is some idiotic problem.
my workaround is: use navigation keys and put a little height on keyboard...BUT, i dont want to use navigation bar in the home launcher or even in the other apps i dont use the keyboard.
So, i want to use gestures but in whatsapp and messages app i need to have the navbar to dont miss the letters i want to press, it is possible?!
Install Swift Key and You can move the keyboard.

That's not what he's asking.
He wants to be able to disable and enable the navigator bar based on the application he is using.
This isn't difficult to do, he just has to find someone who'll do it.

Yes, you explain it well, thats what i'm search for.
Hi,
I'm using the full screen gestures on Miui 11 beta Android 10, and they're great but swipe from left stops us being able to open navigation menus with a swipe. I would like to disable swipe from left, and only use swipe from right as the back gesture.
It looks like the gestures are in /system/priv-app/MiuiSystemUi/MiuiSystemUi.apk I managed to decompile it (you also need framework-ext-res.apk using apktool) and I can see the gestures code is there. It looks simple to remove the right lines of code referring to mGestureEdgeLeft but I don't know smali. I wonder if someone can help? I tried just removing every line mentioning mGestureEdgeLeft from GesturesBackController but systemUI wouldn't load on reboot (Just a sec.. message). Is there anyone that knows smali that could help out with this?
Thanks!
Hey everybody,
I've run into a recent annoyance since upgrading to Android 10 on my Samsung S10. I'm using gboard (same as prior to the update) with the google launcher. My issue arrives with swipe gestures, when I swipe to go home or recent apps the swipe interacts with the keyboard. Recents inputs "my" before sending me to recents and home is typically a "space" before going back to my homescreen. It's a minor nuisance that can be avoided by swiping the back key minimizing the keyboard before interacting with either of the other gestures.
I'm curious if anybody else has this issue because it definitely wasn't a problem in the previous version of android. I don't know if it comes down to increased sensitivity or swipe gestures just not playing well with keyboards in general now?
Any help is much appreciated!
I 've also made a topic about this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s10/help/space-bar-problem-using-gesture-t4018985
The strange thing is that only a few users here have mentioned it, although all my friends who also have the S10, have the same problem after the update to android 10.
I can reproduce the same issue with a space being inserted on my S10+. Having said that, as an early adopter of gestures going back to BlackBerry 10 days, the more natural movement for your finger (assuming you are right handed) is not a straight swipe up to go home, rather a sweep from bottom to the right. It's hard to describe the exact movement but in effect you're "tossing away the currently running app". It's the same gesture you would in principle use to open the app carousel, but the difference is that when you're using a carousel, you would do the sweep, then pause briefly, where as just a sweep will take you to home. Doing an arc sweep from one end to the other will actually allow you to move from app to app without ever using the carousel.
So yes, I short I can reproduce the same behaviour you are seeing with the spacebar and inserting a space, but only if I go back home by swiping straight up. Otherwise, I don't see the issue. Since I never swipe straight up, I don't see this issue during my day to day.
Still having this issue
Using a Note 10+ with Android 10 and an up-to-date Gboard.
So few people are mentioning this issue. It's nuts! I just tried the arch swiping and still have keyboard interaction, worse than with just swiping up. I have disabled the black bar at the bottom, like everyone else. I'm starting to think that it was put there to prevent keyboard interaction, which is BS. I got rid of my notification bar to prevent the burn in there. Putting a new box there will just highlight that area with burn in again.

Giving this thread a bump. This is a very annoying issue. Swiping my multitask (left) gesture and my keyboard types "zzz" (must have saved that) prior to initiating the gesture action. Swiping for home presses the spacebar before the gesture action. Only swiping the back gesture works without causing any keyboard input. This was definitely not a problem pre- Android10/OneUI2 update.
I'm having the same issue and it's driving me crazy! using Gboard here. In every message thread, when I'm done responding, swiping up to go home will insert a space, or some random chacacters because of this bug.
I don't seem to have the same problem on my Galaxy Tab S4.
2 years late and same issue persists, I just got an s22 ultra and experience the same, if was not fixed in 2yrs I guess will never be fixed
Yep, same issue here with my S22U and it drives me crazy. I'm ready to sell this thing. I would never switch, but now I know why people switch to iPhones.
