Yes, just press the back button and think you've used swipe to go back and it will work just like iOS.
Take this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures&hl=en
Enable the left edge and assign "back" action.
If you want to hide the edge, swipe the hamburger menu go to personnalization and turn down edge opacity

I am using a Galaxy Nexus. Most of the time, keys on the navigation bar are not touched by accident. But when playing a game I often touch the soft key accidentally. Because many games require to touch controls on the edge of the screen, which is very close to the navigation bar. iOS, on the other hand, does not have this problem, because apps use the full screen, and there is one hardware button. Also, I often accidentally swipe up from the bottom to launch Google Now, when actually I wanted to scroll up. There is no menu to disable that swipe up action, except disabling the Google Now. I want to use Google Now but not by swiping up. I would prefer just a icon on my home screen to launch Now.
I already saw some custom ROMs have a feature to toggle the navigation bar, but I think there must be some official solution to this. The solutions I can think of;
1. The custom ROM way. Add toggle menu to the power menu.
2. Make the buttons as physical buttons not capacitive buttons.
3. Add another physical key on the side to enable/disable navigation bar.
4. Swipe from left to right on the navigation bar to lock it. Swipe again to unlock it.
5. Long pressing Home toggles the navigation bar. On first long press, the home button is changed to a lock icon. To unlock the bar, long press the lock icon.
6. Or Google Now is launched by long pressing of the multitasking button.
What do you think? Do you have the same troubles?

You can kinds of disable it using SwipeLaunch Disabler.

Honestly probably all nexus owners experience this problem although I personally give it up for awesome stock launcher and features and being able to easily hack it.

Hi guys
just checking if anyone knows whether there exists a stand alone app that can be used to simulate the soft back key or the home key in the Android navigation bar? I am not refer to those virtual back button apps.
I am asking because the LG V10 does not have hardware keys but it has a secondary screen, I can put such Back Button App on the second screen and disable the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen (LG V10 can hide the navigation bar).
I know there is an app for Samsung Edge phone to support the back/home button on the Edge's second screen. unfortunately, that app is only for Edge phone.
I know in the Play store, there are many virtual back button apps. All of them will put a virtual button some where on the screen. that is not ideal for my purpose.
Please let me know if anyone knows or can develop one.
Thanks
Try LMT launcher. You can set up your own configuration and it doesn't block your screen at all - swipe from any portion you set up.

Thanks for the suggestion, I installed the Pie Control from Google Play store as the LTM launcher is not there.
The Pie Control serves the purpose well. awesome!
Thanks!
I hide mine, enabled when using the launcher, when you swipe up from the bottom of the screen it shows and you can use the virtual buttons. I prefer that over the other options.

I'm looking for this too. I installed MyHomeButton from the play store and was able to put a home and recent softkey on my second screen, but now I still need a back button.

All in one gestures on the playstore allows you to create a back soft key that you can add to the second screen.
really need a back button and home button.
I think they should have put a home button right where the big LG symbol is on the bottom of the phone.
@Amd4life Exactly! Why not use that extra hardware space to put in extra buttons? Home, back, recent apps, shortcut key...
I use Resurrection Remix on my RN3P and Mi5s+, but also like to use MIUI occasionally. Is there a way have a long press of the home key to turn off the display? It's a very useful option in Resurrection Remix.
I use the app Buttons Remapper to switch the back and recent apps keys, but there's no option to turn off the display using the home key.

On RR you can assign long press to turn off display in Hardware keys but that's not possible with MIUI , only option is to use screen lock icon on home screen n hit it to off display

Thanks. I can see the screen lock button in quick settings. How can I add the icon to the home screen?

I use Nova launcher but discovered that it has its own screen off widget, which works. Thanks for that.

If you're on Nova launcher you can enable gestures & assign something like Double tap , long tap on home screen to Lock screen that'll be easier [emoji6]

Hi, I bought a new Mi A3 two days ago for my father.
For him display nav buttons are more user friendly than gestures but I can't find how turn on them.
In my Mi A2 I can find them on System > Gestures > Swipe up on home button > OFF (nav buttons) / ON (gestures), but in Mi A3 "Swipe up on home button" doesn't exist.
Please, any suggestions?
Not possible at moment
Is there a way to swap the buttons or put the back button on the right side?

Yeah, follow this guide, but you need to have installed adb on your computer

Are you talking about 3 button nav bar? You can turn it on from Settings>System>Gestures>System Navigation>3-button Navigation (For Android 10)

Sadly not possible on Android 10, Google removed the interface which allowed swap of buttons on stock Android.
Thank you.
