Eliminate launcher lag. Zoom zoom. - Google Pixel 2 XL Themes, Apps, and Mods

I was annoyed by nova (and other) launchers delaying the launch of an app. There was a noticeable delay whenever I'd launch from the home screen.
For those that want their phone lightning fast, but also want a better launcher than the pixel launcher, here is an xposed mod that fixes it. The thread explains the how and why, but I assure you my phone has never been so fast.
Enjoy.

It's subtle. I use a swipe launcher and when I'd use the pixel launcher with it, the apps from the pixel launcher ran immediately and the apps from the swipe launcher delayed, or vice versa. I started messing with it and found it somehow related to the home screen. It also exhibits when running shortcuts.
So I ran into this - (pretty sweet nav bar replacement) https://www.xda-developers.com/navigation-gestures-update-app-launch-android-p/
and the author says if you run into delays use thatx xposed module. I did and all the delays were eliminated.
I'm not on something - you might not notice it until it's gone. Unless you don't run xposed, then maybe it's more work. Give it a try... or don't. Made a difference for me.

This is amazing how useful this Exposed module is with gestures navigation. Unfortunately Exposed affects Safety Net and I'm unable to use my banking apps even with Magisk hide on. Can someone make an apk file instead of Exposed module???

Everywhere launcher is a gesture based navigator that uses the accessibility service to bypass the 5 sec delay. Navigation gestures (sweet navbar replacement) also bypasses the delay.
Beyond that have no idea.

Does this happen on rootless pixel Launcher by amir?

I didn't know Navigation Gestures bypasses it. Thanks. Currently I'm using Edge Gestures app. Works flawlessly. I wrote to it's developer to implement this solution. If not probably NG will be my choice.

Edge gestures is pretty nice. Way simpler than everywhere launcher. I set left to home, right to back, and up to recents.
I launch from the launcher, so no delays regardless. I went to a completely launcher only solution when I went to pie, as no xposed.

Looks like you find a sweet spot. After I contacted Edge Gestures Dev I downloaded Navigation Geatures app and after setting it I can find it is convenient and works great with no delay as you mention before. Now my Galaxy S8 with Renovate Ice ROM, Substratum overlays and a few additional mods it's a flagship killer ?

Sweet . I'm hiding my nav bar completely using navigation gestures (pill is hidden too) and using Edge gestures as my nav. Swipe right for home, swipe left for back (hold for previous app), up for home (hold for recents).
So nice to have 0 real estate for nav.
Cheers :good:

Since available I'm on permanent immersive mode. In RICE I have 0px for navigation bar height too. Also for about 3 years I'd prefer only gestures navigation method. Since I switched back from iOS (almost 5 years) and BB10 OS (dead) I can't imagine using my phone without gestures. Of course as a die hard Blackberry user I had a never ending ROTFL when Apple "reinvented" gestures navigation for iPhone X. My phone needs to be MINE!

Any fix for the screen sharpening on text?

I just got the phone today and so far that's the thing I hate most about it. Text on certain web pages looks awful unless you zoom in because it's so sharpened.
Also, I couldn't stand the default launcher so I installed Google Now Launcher. Double-tap to turn off the screen no longer works with the Google Launcher. Any way to rectify that?

I'm not sure about that launcher but if you're rooted and have xposed + G3Tweakbox module you can enable Knock Off on the Nav Bar.
There's also an app called Screen off you can use with Nova gestures or you can use Greenify to have it set up so you Knock off the screen and it Hibernates your apps plus locks it.
Both those options require you to have Nova though. Just an idea. I'd imagine there is a way to do it with your launcher possibly with the xposed module that's been made for it. Maybe if your not rooted look into doing so using Stump Root ( very easy ) and then check out xposed.

Thanks. I'm not rooted and won't be for a bit. I have two weeks to test the phone out before I can return it to Verizon for a refund if I decide I don't like it. It's hit and miss so far.
Does Greenify require root for it to work with knock off?
I guess I'll have to look into to some other launchers that support the knock off feature. It's annoying pressing that back power button when you have your phone laying on a desk.
I really don't want a bloated launcher though. That's one of the things I love about the Google Now Launcher. It's nice and simple. The only improvements I would like to see be made to it is the ability to have 5 rows of icons instead of 4 and the option to hide apps in the app drawer.
Just a note: I discovered with the help of a user on another site that you can still use knock-off to turn the screen off if you double tap the very top of the screen on the notifications bar regardless of the launcher you are using.
One problem solved.
Now to figure out the terrible sharpening issue that occurs on some web pages.

I'm using Fluid GN with Nova right now and am having some issues. First, if I close the Fluid GN app from task list, the gestures stop working. For some reason, the service doesn't seem to persist. I used Tasker to fix this, but it sporadically keeps stopping anyways. I have all the power saving etc features turned off for Fluid GN. Any idea how to get it working 100% on the M10P?

Open settings and search for Battery Optimisations. Then find Fluid NG and make sure its "Not Allowed". Generally you need to do this for any app you need in the background.

I also found you need to activate "home action compatibility" under "advanced"
Is this an issue only Huawei can fix or is it possible for Nova Launcher to eventually work around it? Fluid is a nice stopgap but it just isn't as good as the phones native gestures.
I find fluid a lot better, actually. Much more customisable and more actions to be set.
Agreed, I actually like the functionality fluid a lot more than the stock one. It's just a shame the animations aren't as good though. It's fine for now though.
maybe disable the huawei gestures and use the xda navigation gestures app or an other not native app
Did you guys use ADB with Fluid N.G. or did you just install it as is?
I had problems with fluid and action launcher... since 9.0.0.146... Working perfectly.
All options set off in advanced and both emui and android power management disabled
Still have the emui gestures on as I don't want the bar showing and it then allows back at the top of your screen too

No ADB needed. You can just switch on gesture navigation in phone settings and then run fluid ng

Can you enlighten that step by step of disabling powermanagement features, cause my accessibility keeps turning off automatically.

one plus 5T/6 gestures on v30?

Is there any mod or anyone who can develop oneplus gestures available for 5t or 6 for lg v30 instead of navbar?
Before anyone suggest xda gestures app i don't want that...! Purely gestures on lg stock firmware?
there is a small program - navigation gestures.
available at playstore. it simulates the gesture control with swipes, but has some drawbacks i couldn't fix, so decided to uninstall it. but you may try if it fits to you.

Question Modify Assistant Gesture in gesture nav?

Is it possible to change the diagonal gesture from Google assistant to something else?
I really like gesture navigation, especially because of screen space, and there's no minimize function in the 3 button navigation which isn't great.
Anyway, would be great to modify the gesture or somehow add the minimize functionality to the 3 button navigation.

I have been using a Magisk module to hide the swipe gesture bar entirely on mine, and had previously used 3 buttons as well (using the gesture because then floating Gboard has more room and no forced space on the side for 3-buttons even when hidden) via "Fullscreen/Immersive Gestures (Q-S), have it set to fully hide the gesture bar, and have been relying on "Xposed Edge Pro" for my actual gesture navigation and customizing of it, since I've changed my Moto G Power 2021 into a Watch (modified build prop to force landscape even by system apps and more ). So have Riru and Lsposed naturally via Magisk as well. Just some ways to pull that off.

Awesome!
Which version of riru works with edxposed?
I've tried a few and can't get edxposed to find any of them when installing.
EDIT:
I just noticed you said you installed Lsposed, got it installed successfully and i'm going to be checking out xposed edge pro, thanks a lot!
EDIT 2:
For those wanting a step by step to accomplish this. Not sure exactly how you got yours setup @Onoitsu2, but this way works for me.
First enable 3 button navigation (search navigation in settings)
Install "Xposed Edge" from here, enable it in Lsposed, reboot.
Xposed edge | Xposed Module Repository
repo.xposed.info
Enable the gestures in Xposed Edge, definitely at least a home gesture, a back gesture, and maybe a recent apps gesture. If you do not do this before the next step, you may have to restore a backup.
Note that gestures from the bottom of the screen will not work when the keyboard is open, so I created a back gesture from the side of the screen like the stock one. Then you can tap back to close the keyboard, other things could be used too, like a toggle soft keyboard among others I'm sure.
Then follow this guide.

I would recommend enabling the gesture nav actually, as with the 3 buttons enabled, you actually lose screen real estate from invisible sections it keeps there in gboard and other keyboards as well, if you use the Android gesture nav it opens up that space as it seems to read that state in the gboard app and honors it, even if hidden or not it still gives the room. But then that "Fullscreen/Immersive Gestures (Q-S)" Magisk module, run through the console it has you answer questions. Once you have Xposed Edge set up right, you can use that to fully hide the Android gesture nav, and get full screen space overall.
As for your crashing system UI, it sounds like you may have the double tap gesture enabled still for your power button. When I rooted, I think that is the only thing that I lost access to, just stopped working, but reader itself worked fine. I did have some issues when I left that option on in Settings, with System UI being dumb at times as I think it tried to trigger it but would not work properly. Just a thought, since I've come to use Xposed Edge and the shortcut panel instead, much more feature rich than the stock panel.

Awesome thanks for the tips.
I tried installing the full screen gestures module but I couldn't figure out how to disable the assistant gesture. I don't remember exactly, but I thought it only asked to disable the back button gestures, however I wouldn't doubt that I'm wrong ther on that. I'll have to reinstall it and try it the way your describing here.

I used that module to not only alter the gestures, but turn that gesture nav fully off, hiding it entirely relying only on Xposed Edge Pro for navigations on my device actually. No System UI crashes here, nor other quirks that way like keyboard going dumb and not permitting swiping from bottom (be sure you look at Xposed Edge's settings and tweak them, it's worth it messing versus defaults)

I just reinstalled it a bunch of times and you do get a lot more options if you choose immersive instead of Fullscreen.
It seems that no matter which options I choose and regardless of whether or not you use the 3 button or gesture system navigation, there's still a tiny black bar on the bottom of the screen.
The black bar is in exactly the same place as it is during boot. When compared to the top of the screen which goes all the way to the top, the bottom bar still has a little part of unused space.
Did you manage to extend the screen all the way to the bottom, as it does with the top of the screen?
It's definitely extended more, but it would be awesome to get the entire screen space.
On a side note, do you know if there's a way to force all apps to be completely fullscreen and go all the way to the very top with the status bar hidden?
When I hide the status bar and turn it into landscape mode with the status bar hidden, I do get to use the full space in the app readera for example, but when using it in portrait mode, the space just goes unused despite checking off all apps to go around the camera whole in settings. For example, Firefox doesn't use the full space at the top of the screen, even with the status bar hidden.

Have you tried in multitasking list, tap on app's icon, it has a pullout of options that show like Full screen and if enabled split screen as another. That is the only thing I've used to make it fill up that upper notch area the camera is housed in. Mine is set to (Developer Options > Display Cutout) Device default. You want yours set to Hide to use the full space as often as possible I believe.
If you're on A11, When you go to Settings > Display and tap Advanced to expand the menu, do you have an option labeled "Full Screen" ? From there you can choose the apps you'd like to run full screen, of course this assumes the app is compatible and capable to do so.

Question Gesture Navigation Bar/Pill/line whatever its called

Hi,
is there a way to get rid of the Navigation Line at the bottom of the Screen when using gesture mode? Asus unfortunatly doesnt give the option like Samsung for example to hide it.

thank you very much!

unfortunately it is not possible to remove the pill by making Asus native gestures work. What is possible is to remove the pill (using the entire screen) and use gestures from third-party applications. For me it is the best option. root is required
