I miss the gesture navigation in my OnePlus 6T. Samsung's gestures are jank. Always activating the back gesture when I don't want it to, and not activating it when I want it to. It likes to get in the way of things that are on the sides of my screen. I can't even scroll through my photos to upload one in Google Messages without the damn thing trying to go back instead. Have to do it carefully and slowly.
Still better than touchscreen button navigation, though. (Bring back physical buttons!)
Try one hand operation + in good lock. Currently my favorite gesture system, since I don't even have to reach down and can activate multiple actions from the side.
Will do. I don't utilize Good Lock as much as I should. Thanks for the suggestion.
Tip I have is to adjust the angles to one that makes it feel most consistent to you for the up and down gestures. You can also set up long swipes too for where if you swipe a little further until you feel a haptics you can have it do stuff like make it show a mini quick tools so you don't have to reach up and pull the status bar down to access them.
It's pretty useful and you can have it behave differently for the left and right side so have lot of different actions available.
