Question recent app gesture? - OnePlus Nord N20 5G

I'm just getting started with my new N20 and I'm noticing that it doesn't seem to have an option for the "switch to recent app" gesture that I'm accustomed to on my last two phones.
Does anyone know of a way to enable it? The swipe up and then left or right in the drawer isn't really a good substitute for it.

I made a quick video demonstrating what I'm talking about in case it wasn't clear.

Swipe up from the bottom of screen and hold for a second. Once you see the recent apps, let go and swipe left to right to pick your app.

Screen moves the opposite direction

Weird. I think this is on most android tablets not just prime.
EDIT: Thanks for point it out guys! So this is a feature. If you tap on the sides it will scroll towards that direction. So its like a quick tap and scroll without really scrolling. Like what ready2mosh said, paddle shifters lol. Sweet I like this feature.

thats because your tapping the edge of the screen . its not picking up the slide motion
Hi, Whats the Agenda and Calendar widget you are using?
Thanks
There is nothing wrong with this, if you look at the left and right side when you tap or swipe over the screen, there are 2 light blue lines. If you tap in those areas the screen is told to move to that side, and since you are barely swiping across the screen, it cannot register that you are swiping, but only tapping.
Swiping motion is for the middle of the screen, edges are for flip control. Think of it as paddle shifter on F1 cars, much easier to shift (change page) with paddle than a stick(swiping).

Not true. I can replicate this in the app drawer too.
EDIT: NM you guys are right. If I tap on the corner it goes back and forth. Even i the app drawer. Thanks. I love this new quick paddle shifters hidden trick.

Gestures?

Is there a guide to basic gestures on TS2?
I have a lot of troble going BACK - Is it right to left or some type of diagonal gesture? I figured out the bottom left to top right brings up the menu mostly. Anything else?
Also, how the heck do you change the VOLUME of the external speaker?

Thanks. So can anyone tell me how to "officially" gesture to go the the previous screen?
Swipe left from the bezel on the right straight across the display.

Thanks. That's what I have been doing but it works like 20% of the time. It seems like going from the right upper corner down to the lower left corner works better, not sure why.
So hw do I get quickly get back to the "Home" screen in the stock Launcher from other pages in the launcher?
Press the Home button, down under the camera ?
If you long press that button it brings up the task list.

I've figured out a swipe to the right from the left bezel activates the menu button if available.

Daniel made a manual which I wish I'd read before trying to figure everything out. You may have to log in to google to load the pdf

Hey now, that's handy to have!
I'd also recommend getting a third party gesture application. I use the paid version of gmd gesture control and have diagonal swipes configured for volume and a few other shortcuts. There is also a recommended free module for xposed framework called all in one gestures.

How to remove camera shutter sound?

How I can remove Camera shutter sound? Couldn't find a way that works.
this is forbidden in some countries
If you slide your finger from left to right whilst camera is active you will see a cog symbol in the bottom right corner of the display. Click the cog for more settings.
Unthick HDR, beauty or sharp auto mode to see the settings
Thanks, found it.
Just go to settings and deactivete it
Was the camera settings removed in the latest OTA? I recall seeing it before updating to 2.1.3-x but now I can't seem to find it in the camera app. Can someone please confirm? I want to disable the shutter sound without changing the notification slider. Thanks

It is there. Just swipe while the camera is active from left to right. You see the cog on the right side. It will open the settings and let you disable the camera sound.

I don't see the cog icon when swiping left to right. I do remember seeing it in the past, but I don't see it anymore. Here's a screenshot after swiping left to right, and another after clicking the menu icon:

It seems that the settings icon only appears if you open the camera app from the application icon either through the app drawer or from the desktop. Previously I was opening it with a capacitive button shortcut (long pressing my recent apps button, which I set up in the system settings) or by using the camera shortcut on the lock screen. Odd but at least now I know I can still access the camera settings. Not sure if this is intentional or if it's a software bug. Hopefully this post helps others who can't seem to find the camera settings as well.

Navigation Bar Shortcut Slot Missing

On the last several LG phones that I can remember, there have been 5 positions for navigation shortcuts. On this phone there are only 4. Does anyone know how to add that back in?
I noticed that too on the V30 it only has 4 home touch button slots. WTF?
Do you want the 5th item being the app drawer? If so go to settings, display, home screen, select home then select home & app drawer
My guess is that they had to cut one of the slots out so it wouldn't be crowded with the nav bar hide/app scaling icon now being to the far left.

I've got the full four down there and I've already accidentally ham fingered my nav bar out of existence a few times. First two times I did it I freaked out because I thought I had broken the UI somehow and made my nav bar stop functioning.

No, I haven't seen any option for that. I hide it on the home screen but I've realized if I am going to get burn in for anything, it'll be the Google search bar at the top of the home screen.

That works on the LG G5, but not the V30. And the V30 has a larger screen, so it makes no sense to take out the ability for a 5th button.

Question Ugh - Nav Bar buttons

Any way to remove or hide or skin or otherwise change the look and color of the Nav Bar buttons? Im using Nova and don't see an option and don't see an option in the OS settings.
Appreciate any help.

Settings>Accessibility>System Controls>System Navigation gives you the choice of Gesture Navigation or 3-Button Navigation. I'm using Nova also

Google, no one wants the back button on the left! after 6 years, let's go ahead and add the option to switch it already!

I guess my name is "no one" then ... I'm perfectly happy with the button layout the way it is
But I do get it if someone wants it reversed ... I for one would love the option to assign my navbar buttons with different actions, for example longpress Home for screenshot like on my other devices

It makes no sense. Most people are right-handed, so why put the button that gets used more often (Back) in a less accessible position than the one that hardly ever gets used (Recent apps)? Maybe take a hint from Samsung (the most popular Android phone maker) and keep the Back button on the right.

Personal preference. I'm totally with you on giving users the option, but I personally use the recents button more often and always hated the placement on Samsung phones.
I wish I could use FNG with A12 gestures, but I'm still stuck having the useless bottom bar...

"the one that hardly gets used" - huh? I use the Recents button all the time before turning off the screen. I don't believe in having apps linger there that I only use once a week or even less often, so my Recents get cleared all the time. Plus while I am righthanded I hold my phone with the left hand and navigate/tap with my right ... I've never been someone to use a phone with only 1 hand.
And like Velcorn said - personal preference. Users should have the option to set it up the way they like it best, not have Google (or other OEMs) dictate what they have to like.

I completely agree that it should be an option. But if they're not going to provide an option, putting it on the right makes more sense.
Also, you know clearing your recents gives you no performance improvement, right? Android could have completely killed an app weeks ago and its most recent snapshot could still show up there.

I don't care, I don't want the clutter in my recents. It's not so much about performance but about tidyness
I am right handed and use my P6 with my left hand. I use a wallet case on my devices with my index finger wedged behind the internal case. The thumb wins.
I always clear my recent, I don't care if you call it OCD or not.

I use FNG and have for a while now. Of course it takes root to get rid of the navbar.
