Just installed this app yesterday, works great. You can customize swipes on your screen to do different things. I've attached a screenshot of all the current possible actions.
I'm still using stock gestures, but have added a few additional swipes.
this is old and we don't need a thread for this.

I disagree...I never heard of this before.
I really like this app. Just found it yesterday. Wanted to turn off my screen with a swipe or app(now I do with a swipe). It works perfect. This should be BUILT IN to SETTINGS\Advanced\Motions and gestures! However, it is readily available on Play and Galaxy stores, sooo, NP.
Have hidden the bottom native nav buttons. They still work, but are hard to reach one handed. Don't have to reach down for back/recent/home anymore.
Can go directly to app drawer from another program. Very usefull. A plethora of actions.
This app works well if you want to use gestures with a 3rd party launcher but do not like the stock OneUI gestures. I had the stock gestures enabled but only used swipe up for home and then used OHO+ for the back and task switcher, not as good as proper android 10 gestures but works pretty well.
Finally I can use Android 10 gestures-like with Nova! Thanks!

No it is old , it is a part of Samsung goodlock package since i think galaxy s8 back in 2018
I am absolutely loving this app. I came back to Android after 1.5years of iOS and I am not disappointed with the level of customization we can do, and Samsung has definitely up its game as far as the software goes.

I'm not asking which people like best, because I know that is highly subjective. What I want to know are which ROMs have all original S-Pen functions intact and if they have Samsung's apps too, that a bonus. I want a ROM that has more settings in the notification pull down and more theme options, but I don't want to give up the S-Pen functions that were one of the big reasons I got a Note. Any ideas?
did you know you can get gmt spen control from the market and use it with any rom? Then get an app like papyrus or memo, and you can set up custom gestures, or the original gestures if you like.
It works extremely well, and let's you try out cm based roms while still getting to use your s pen

You, my friend, are my hero for the day! I absolutely did not know that. I've only had the phone like 2 days and have only been back on Android like 2 days. I was on Windows Phone for the past two years after about as long on Android and really got out of touch with Android during that time.
Also, what is the name of the app that gives you S-Pen control? I got a lot of results but quite a few of them seemed fairly shady.

Actually, I do want to know which ROMs have the SPen apps installed. Any ideas? I like the Samsung version of the SPen better.

Anyone know why the spen gestures are now different on this new jb release? It was so much easier before with the simple Swype of the pen. Also no home gesture now.. ?

Big Nova prime fan here. Updated to lollipop and find that it broke expanded notifications gesture. This is a deal breaker for me. Way to far to reach with one hand. Swiping down for notifications should be a standard feature for big phones nowadays. I'm sure it'll be fixed but need to try something different for the time being.
Can you all help me with a new launcher?
Must have: expanded notification gesture.
Wants: similar features to Nova but I'm willing to try something new and expand my horizons, as long as notifications come along for the ride.
Thanks!

Have you tried apex launcher or I think it's called lucid both have gestures, I use nova as well and have used the other two when nova is having issues apex more than lucid, hope that helps some
I rarely use 3rd Party Launchers, but I know Solo isn't horrible and supports gestures and has a free notification add on.
That's one of the main reasons why I downgraded back to KitKat. There was no app being able to expand the notification bar anymore. A little, but absolutely horrible thing. Samsung, what were you thinking?! As long as this doesn't get fixed, I don't even think about upgrading to Lolliflop anytime soon.
Looks like Action Launcher is our only option for expanding notifications. There are others, like those listed above, that support gestures but just not notifications. At least we know it can be done and may be a sign that it won't take too long to fix.
Don't really hate Action Launcher but not sure I am ready to pay $5 to test. Will settle for a few days and see if it grows on me.
Works perfectly for me in latest Nova Launcher Material Beta. It prompts you the first time to enable Accessibility Service when using the gesture.

Is that under nova settings out accessibility settings under system settings of the phone? I'm using apex and I don't see anything under system accessibility.
It works perfectly for me, I have Nova on in accessibility. I'm pretty sure it worked before I turned Nova accessibility on too
keep nova, try my gesture control
MyHomeButton is the only app I know of that works at the moment. But as a stand alone app? Nada. It's unbelievable!
Try the beta version it's fixed and working fine now!
Hello,
I bought this tablet recently and i have a bit difficulty on navigation with default bar on big screen.
Anyone has installed other navigation bars type of XDA gestures or Fluid navigation gestures?
Thanks.
Hi, yes I have installed navigation gestures by XDA on my Galaxy Tab S4 WiFi and it works perfect
I use Edge gesture . You can find it on play store.

GMD Gesture is much more powerful than this one. You can do more things, you can draw your own gesture, and you can use gesture to pop-up a floating dock (which is fully cutomizable)
I mean you can do literally whatever you want with gestures (and it's not a battery drainer.)
And most important: you can do "real" gestures, I mean gesture anywhere on screen. Other apps are edge gestures only..

if my years of experience using android has taught me anything, it is that the first thing to look at when contemplating installing an app (let alone purchasing it) is to look at the date last updated.
in the case of GMD Gesture, it has been well over a year since the last update.
and then if you sort feedback by newest, you'll see people complaining about lack of updates and not working on phones released since the last update

I just said it was the best gesture app with root. And it is.. faaaar away from the others! But I don't kow if it works on Tab S4 because mine is not rooted, I'd rather wait until it is no longer under warranty to do so. I'm using Fluid Navigation Gesture. Not as good because you can't do real gestures but it's enough for me.
Else, if my own years of experience using android has taught me anything, is that people complain about everything, even if they don't know how to use the app!
- They can complain about the lack of updates even if the app doesn't need some,
- I'm pretty sure that those complain about the app just don't know how it works( or don't even have a rooted phone!). This app is like Nova Launcher, packed with so many options and features that you need some time to fully get it.
- About updates, there is no need for new functionnalities because there is already EVERYTHING in the app. You can't litterally add more options !
Anyway, it's a paid app and you can spend a few time with the app and be refund if you're not happy with it! FYI, it worked perfectly with Tab S3! It's OREO compatible so it should work (you can set options for your device manually in case it's not supported)
I'd love to have the gesture pinch with 4 finger to go on home (like iPad), any of the app that you are using do this?
Ps I'm not rooted

Root does not void you warranty. Trying to repair/opening your tablet doesn't void warranty by itself.
I'm using Fluid Navigation Gestures and recommend!

I didn't know that. I checked and figured out that you are right.
But at the end, I think Samsung doesn't care and do whatever they want. Few months ago, they refused to repair my Tab S3 which was under the EU 2 years warranty because it has already been repaired before!
That I am perfectly fine using. Every Android I have ever had got Nova FIRST. This S10 has all the options and features I need to not have to do that. Anyone else skipping 3rd party?
No. I don't mind Samsung's software now days, but that is after replacing the home screen. I'm using Action Launcher on my S9+ with OneUI and probably will with the S10 as well.
My primary motivations are: Swipe left for Google, I don't like side scrolling app drawers, and replacable icons... That's really mostly it. Their launcher isn't awful, it just isn't very customizable.
I feel pretty much the same as AJerman. I never ran TouchWiz any longer than I had to and One UI is almost usable but I'll probably still stick with Nova. The #1 reason for that is no vertical scrolling in the app drawer. That was a major gripe in the One UI beta program and many of us suggested that to Samsung. It's a shame Samsung left out that one minor tweak.
I always switch to Nova to hide apps, for the 5 x 6 home and to lock down the home screen. This has all 3, so I'm gonna stick it out to see how it goes. But miss the swipe to Google Now though.

Nova prime a must have for me...
Trying to give the Bixby screen a fair shake, but I think I am very likely to load up Nova for the Google feed on the left. I don't hate Flipboard but it's clunky compared to Google or old-style Blinkfeed. I do wish Nova supported motion backgrounds.

Get/use a custom launcher like Nova launcher -So much easier to customize and so many more features.

This is really bothering me. I dont want a 3rd party launcher, the launcher is fine except for that stupid search bar. Also I had many problems with 3rd party launchers in the past, and I'd rather keep the stock one which is tailored to the Pixel 6 series.

surprised someone finds 3rd party launchers like nova buggy
nova hits 10years old in december and its been pretty solid since forever
Likewise, I want to get rid of that screen wasting 'At a Glance' widget at the top of the screen!!
Don't fancy an alternative launcher - but may have to bite the bullet...

I've been using it for the last 6 years. It is feature-rich and less buggy and annoying than the four previous pixel launchers.

The beauty of Nova is, you can run both launchers, customize each as you like and switch between the two on-the-fly.
Infinite scrolling, custom bottom bar, multiple grid layouts...
When I get my P6P (today in theory) I will load all my apps from the Play store and restore my Nova backup. BOOM! my new phone will look and function exactly like my old phone... only bigger and cooler.

Added the Nova Companion and now got the Google Left swipe and no wasted screen space on the main page.

I had never heard of the MS launcher, or maybe never really given it any mind. I looked at it yesterday after you mentioned it and it looked awful. I really hate the tiles and the forced news that I could care less about... too much work to make it what I wanted.

Then you're missing out IMHO.
There is nothing "wrong" with the Pixel launcher per se, as long as you don't care that Google, like Apple, dictates how you interact with your phone; but, if you want to customize your phone to your liking, a custom launcher is the only way to go.
Nova has been rock-stable for a long time and has a myriad of great features, most of which are free.

+1 for Nova.
Nova is my launcher of choice.
It has been for a decade or so now.
I've tried many others but always come back to it.
Sometimes I use Action Launcher or will try something new but again always come back to Nova, which I am actively using on my new Pixel 6 (received it yesterday) as I find the stock launcher extremely lacking in features - haven't suffered a single launcher related performance or stability issue for a very long time, including on my P6.
I don't like having an app drawer or icons / widgets cluttering up my home screen so I assign gestures to launch specific frequently used apps such as Chrome and YouTube and for Nova's integrated "app search", which also displays other recently used, newly installed or frequent apps in tabs separate from the search bar.
I have a single Google "At A Glance" widget
and use the Maxelus Galaxy Pack Live Wallpaper app for additional personalisation and because I'm a nerdy space cadet.
+2 Nova. Double tap to lock gesture is something I have implemented for years and the customization is endless.

Wait, what's Nova Companion? I just put the Google icon on my home screen so I could tap it to get to the Google interface, but a left-swipe would be way cleaner...
If you root your phone, you can get rid of the search bar in the Pixel Launcher, add rows/columns, and more.

A little late to the party. Always used Lawnchair launcher on my Pixel3. Just got my P6 a few days ago and upgraded to Lawnchair again. Seems pretty stable on Android 12. I add Lawnfeed to enable Google feed left-swipe. Lawnchair is pretty similar to Pixel launcher except you can customize much more than stock (ie, disabling the bottom search bar).
