Hey, I just found this on XDA and I thought why not share it with you: https://www.xda-developers.com/iphone-x-gestures-android-guide/
I use this app: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BaUybE_oqcneYGWHC3XSD1l33RReeSmO/view?usp=drivesdk
For me it has no impact on battery life or performance. I'm on NOS 8.1, but it should work fine on any ROM. I disabled the buttons from the personalizations settings, so they don't interfere with the gestures.
I'm using a swipe up for going home, swipe left-to-right and right-to-left for back, swipe up and down for recents, swipe left and right for split screen and long press for Google Assistant (you need the "More shortcuts" app for that), but you can customize the gestures pretty much any way you want.

Right ??.
Is it possible to
1. make notification light to turn into phone's breathing light? which will blink always. (notification blinking will be 2x or 3x faster than breathing blinking)
2. turn fingerprint sensor into scrolling function? like internet browsing scrolling, facebook scrolling and in homepage bringing down notification panel?
I don't understand what you mean by "breathing light", but there are a few apps that do useful things with the fingerprint sensor, in reply to your second query, though this unfortunately isn't baked into the firmware (my previous phone was a Moto, so had pretty handy Moto gestures natively - v cool).
I've been experimenting with an app called Fingerprint Gestures, which I quite like. I only use it to pull up the home screen, which is tricky sometimes, eg when you're using Google Maps.
Fingerprint Gestures lets you select any of a number of commands, by single, long or double tapping. Unfortunately to get it to scroll you'd need root.
Miui (being a royal pain in the hole) seems to mess with the permissions a bit such that you tend to get pestered about the same permissions repeatedly.
There are a few other similar apps I'm gonna try also.
Edit
I just tried 4 other apps, Fingerprint Action Pro, Fingerprint Gesture, Fingerprint Swipes & Hometouch. Couldn't get any of them to work as well as Fingerprint Gestures

I'm using 'finger scanner gestures', tried a lot of apps but unfortunately none of them seem to be able to handle swiping over scanner... Maybe hardware limitation?
Also, i can confirm, permissions that are already given seem to disappear after a while (happens for other apps too)

Hello there,
I recently purchased a Xioami Pocophone F1 after using LG for the past 4 years.
I am so used to double tap to unlock and lock my screen that I find myself constantly doing the same on the Poco.
Is there a way to enable that feature on the Phcophone?
How come LG is the only company that has that feature enabled by default? Is it something on their hardware or is it a part of Android in general?
I find it to be a great feature and personally, I don't like phones with buttons, especially on the right side of the screen.
Thank you,
It´s standard in MIUI 10. You can find this option under Settings -- Display.
If you are on MIUI 9, wait a few days. Xiaomi is rolling out the MIUI 10 stable in waves.

I prefer installing nova launcher and use double tap to lock screen.
to turn off the screen I use the following apps:
for dt2s on home screen - DTS Widget
for using the fingerprint scanner - fingerprint quick action
for status bar - all in one gestures (no longer available in play store, google apk)
Hi Guys,
I had been using Samsung Note series since Note 2. Recently switching to Huawei Mare 20 Pro as Note 9 (Samsung) doesn't impress me with innovation anymore.
But i kind of miss the "Swipe Down Notification" gesture on Samsung phone, since i am new to EMUI, beside using 3rd party launcher, is there anyway to enable it. If not, i think Huawei should look into this as this is really useful for me and may be to others user too. The current swipe down gesture on home screen of Mate 20 Pro, it open up something like search function which not useful at all.
#Huawei #Mate 20 Pro #EMUI
In settings you can add a button to the navigation bar that is dedicated to opening the notifications.
I personally find this button much more comfortable and quick than a swipe.
I've gotten used to the gestures too. Really wish there was an gesture to swipe down the notification bar
Just found your thread.
I got my device yesterday and I'm using the gestures (although there is a learning curve), with my old phone (Mate 10 Pro) I used to use Nova and could swipe down anywhere on the home screen or use the fingerprint sensor to bring the notification bar down. Now with the issues with Nova not working with Huawei's gestures, I'm sticking with EMUI launcher, I just wish there were a few more tweaks we could change.
I am able to use Nova launcher and gestures fine, what issues do you mean?

When u swipe up to go home it brings up the recent tabs, or it'll bring up recent tabs for a second and then go to home screen, very glitchy but i can deal with it.

Hmm interesting, I've not tried Nova because I read there were issues! Will install and see if I get issues.
I read about the issues too, but decided to try it. I'm using Nova gestures and not system gestures (so still using 3 button system nav) and I think that's why I'm not having issues.

Yeah, that makes sense now, I'm still trying to get used to the system gestures, it's going to take some time.
Where's that option located in settings?

Hey, you can use that feature by fingerprint scanner. Follow the below steps to enable the feature.
Go to Device Settings>Security & Privacy>Fingerprint ID>Now Enable the "Show Notification Panel" option.
Hope it would help.

That doesn't work on the mate 20 pro because it has an inscreen fingerprint scanner! I love my mate over my note 9 so much but literally this is the only thing I miss from my note, the ability to swipe down on the home screen in order to bring the notification panel down. And no I don't wanna use any third party launcher cause I like everything stock.
Any ideas anyone?
Im using Evie Lancher. In settings you have swipe down for notifications and it works very very good.
Evie Lancher is very fast and good. For now best for Mate 20 Pro. Try it

No. For now I didn't faind any bug for now.
I solved it using fluid gestures, set the quick gesture down to the right to open notifications, in addition to the infinite options of gestures on the sides, configure it to your liking, use another launcher unfortunately is not the solution, as there is always details that do not let you use multitasking well, even using fluid gestures ...
Using Nova, if you enable Swipe Down = Expand Notification then it works? It certainly does for me with Huawei Gestures enable or not.
Hi
After update MIUI to 12.5, I normally use an application (screen off and lock) to lock the screen, since double tap doesn't work.
Turns out that after the update when I lock the screen through the app, I can't unlock with fingerprint saying that "device locked by admin" and I have to use the pin to unlock.
Anyone knows how to overcome this?
Thanks in advance.

Okay,updated our phone today and got exactly same problem as you..
This was not funny at all i have to say,my wife is absolutely crazy because of this issue and think´s the whole phone is ruined because of this,okay..
Isn´t it anyone out there who has a solution for this or do we really have to wait for another update to come before we can have the fingerprint to work again because i really hope they going to fix this for us or?

Same here on mi 10T
I have learned not to update MiUI, as the updates rarely fix old bugs and ALWAYS introduce new bugs. Best just sticking with what it came with until a custom ROM comes along and then leave the MiUI crap in the past.
Problem is 3rd app lock method.
Here is solution:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/oauv33
I use NOVA LAUNCHER and I have same problem after 12.5 update. So I changed LOCK method in NOVA and it works.

So easy but still so difficult to figure out...
This was really good to learn about i have to say,thank you very much for your help!
I solved this issue after updating my Mi Note 10 to MIUI 12.5.1 by switching from 3rd party screen lock / turn off app to an official built-in widget simply called "Lock" (go look for it, it should be near the top in Widgets section when you press and hold empty home screen area).
To remove unofficial screen lock app you must first revoke admin rights, of course, otherwise its ghost will keep reappearing after each uninstall attempt.
I simply like stock MIUI Launcher, so using 3rd party ones to solve this was unacceptable for me.
if u guys are just talking about turn off screen without using side button, then there are some options present in miui...
1) [if u r using button navigation] setting> additional setting> button shortcut> turn off screen> choose as ur choice
2) You can also use the quick ball, 'setting> additional setting> quick ball' with quick ball u can use 5 shortcuts like home, menu, lock, clear cache, ss etc
3) the widget option... Just like d789 said
And 'double tap to wake or turn off screen' option is present in the "setting> always on display & lock screen"...
Thanks, I overlooked that buttons shortcuts in Settings can be configured to lock the screen as well (e.g. long hold Back or Home on-screen button).
Yeah, double-tap to wake or turn off screen is also very useful feature I use since day 1.

For me this doesn't work.
I use Nova and always have.
In Nova I go to "Gesture and Inputs" change the "double tap" to "screen lock".
I then choose "Accessibility" and add Nova.
After that if I double click nothing happens. If I remove Nova from accessibility and then double tap it asks me to use device admin or accessibility. I use this way on every single mobile I use but on 12.5.3 I can't pick accessibility as it refuses to do anything when Nova is added.

Thanks, I didn't know about that.
Now the only thing for me that is still broken is the fact that I can't use gestures with Nova launcher.
To everyone who's still facing this issue. This fix helped me and a lot of others as well. Try it out.
It's a rare but annoying glitch in MIUI, you can easily solve it:
1. Go to TWRP -> File Manager
2. Browse to: /data/system
3. Delete file "locksettings.db"
4. Reboot.
You will need to set the lock screen password/pattern again, if you had any before.

Dear friend, my phone is Redmi Note 7 Pro. I had no issues after doing this. It worked perfectly for me. So, as I saw this forum thread before fixing my phone, I just shared the information I knew. Not everyone will get the same result from this, because not everyone has the same phone. So, whether or not you didn't get the expected outcome, you shouldn't tell others to not follow this. It's their choice, not yours. Maybe atleast some of them will find it useful than you did.

Thank you very much.
This works for my RN10Pro using MIUI13.0.6, change the lockscreen setting in Nova, from admin to accessibility.
I can't double tap to close home screen anymore, but there's still home button in the lowest middle to do that.
The most important thing is, I can directly go to home screen just by touch the fingerprint button.
Thanks for your advice.
If you guys are talking about the fingerprint button then i suggest you just use the gestures that are provided by default of the settings since there nust be a spatial consisting of failure of recognizing the algorithm of identifying user by fingerprint method or they just didn't implement the algorithm that is stored inside the operating system of the phone.
So gestures is the only way to go you can apply gestures by using monetary apps that may give access to other gestures like slide down to view user statistics or usage and slide up to reveal system settings but i couldn't blame the operating system though for having not enough gestures but I'm also. Thankful that they have custom gestures so i wouldn't imply to an app that can be placebo or popular in playstore who knows it can be money cashgrab(just stating the fact that i had to cancel so many subscription on a gesture app)
