[Q] Navigation Drawer on the right side? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've never posted here before so I have no idea if this is right or in the right place, but here it is.
I'm wondering if there is any way for me to get the navigation drawer that is used on so many apps to come from the right side instead of the left, I would like to have it on the right so I can use the left side of my screen without restricting the nav drawer. I'm left handed so it's easier to use the left side for things than the right.

After installing stock ics (i downloaded and installed the German stock ics) I have the same issue.
I have the note set to left handed, in s-pen settings, but after reboot it is back in right handed mode.
It still says left handed in the settings, but I have to select left handed again to actually activate left handed mode.
Does anybody know of a fix or workaround? is it possible to run a script or maybe there is an app that will set a specific settings at startup?
I'm new to Android and I've only had the note a few weeks, so I would appreciate any help thanks!

[Q] Touch screen sensitivity question

I posted this on a different forum but should have checked over here first. Hopefully one of you guys with a Gear S can verify this for me.
When swiping down from the clock screen to get to the quick menu it seems I have to be in the top center when I swipe down. If I try to swipe down from the top near the edges it does not work. This also applies when swiping down from a widget to get back to the home screen. If I am in app or scrolling through the apps the top edges seem to work as normal.
Just trying to figure out if it is supposed to be this way or my Gear S is defective?
Thanks
Just tried the swipe down on my Gear S. Won't respond if I'm swiping near the corners. Only responds when I swipe near the middle.
On my Galaxy Note 4, I can swipe straight down from the middle to pull up the notification panel. I can also swipe diagonally down from the corners to activate multi-window pop-up mode.
So, maybe the Gear S will eventually incorporate some type of diagonal swipe down from the corners to activate or open an app or setting.
Thanks for the checking. I figured it was designed like that but I had nothing to compare it to.
Thanks again

Tab S3 split screen multi window problem

Lucky though I am to suffer such trivial problems on my journey through life, I'd be very grateful if anyone has a solution to this particular Rich World problem.
On my Tab S3 I am in landscape and Split Screen Multi window mode. I want to change the app in the Left Hand pane. If I press the Recents button I am only ever given the option to change the apps in the Right Hand pane. It does not matter which pane, left or right, is in focus I can only change the app in the right hand pane.
The only way I can figure to change the app in the left hand pane is to 1. Swop the panes about so Left pane becomes Right pane. 2. Hit the Recents button and select the new app. 3. Swop the panes back. That's rubbish! Does anyone know if there is an easier way to change the Left hand app?
Why do I want this? I am right handed. I like to use the stylus with Samsung Notes in the right hand pane. I keep whatever app I am referring to or watching in the left hand pane and I like to change to different apps there fairly regularly. All this daft swopping is dementing me. I could just do my writing in the left hand pane but that is also rubbish as it feels awkward.
Really like the Tab but wondering if I should have got an iPad Pro for my notetaking.
Ok this is pretty trivial i know, hence plenty views but no replies! I'll leave it up in case someone else is puzzling about what multi window does and doesn't do.

It's not trivial. But it is how the multi-window is implemented by Google in Android Nougat. So there isn't a solution unless Google change their mind on the implementation.

Customize navigation gesture area

Hey guys, is there any way to customize the navigation swipe gesture areas in One UI? I love the new recent apps gesture with the smooth animation, but I would like that the entire bottom area was used to do the recent apps gesture, killing the back and home gestures. As I use the FNG app for side gestures, using the bottom gesture only for recent apps would be great!
I know, without root, this may be impossible, but maybe substratum could do some tricks...?!
I use FNG for everything. Bottom left half does recent apps, bottom right half does home.

I see that, and it's amazing. But, unfortunately, it has no transition animation like the native navigation gesture. =/
I'm a little confused on what you mean...

I mean that, on One UI, when you enable the native navigation gestures, you can swipe to open the recent apps screen, and as you swipe up, the app follows your finger, giving us a sweet animation, just like the Xiaomi, iOS and others. But the area to swipe to recent apps doesn't fill the entire bottom area of the Galaxy S10, so there's other gestures to the back button and home button. What I would like to know is, if there's any trick to remove the back and home swipe gestures, and fill the whole bottom area to the recent apps gesture only, like iOS and Xiaomi.
FNG act as a "click", so as soon as you do the gesture, it opens the recent apps screen, without that animation that follows your finger as you swipe.
Sorry if I'm not being clear, I'm working on my English yet. =/

Ah, I think I know what you're saying. Unfortunately I am unsure of how to have the animation follow similar to stock navigation gestures using anything other than the baked in version Samsung gave.
And it's not your English, I'm just a little slow at times, haha.

Question Multi window behaviour

I have some questions about multi app.
1. Can go back to home only left or right side? I think normal android works like that.
2. Can I display home (colorOS) at left side? I want to display app om right side and home at left.
3. Can I switch an app on a side of divided screen from recent app? it may also possible on normal android phones.
Thank you in advance.
I noticed 2 can by smart side bar. App switch can also by dropping in from it.
But I'd like to do that quicker.
Can you know the way to reproduce same behaviour as drop in from smart side bar via tasker or something?
I want to create shortcut of that.
Also I'd like to know the app to be able to make shortcut of back home only one side to achieve 1.
I tried some display split apps and they can do that, but I have not found the app that can make shortcut.
