On my motorola: quick shake side to side to enable flashlight. So easy to use, it's become second nature. I'll have to find a way to replicate that on the next phone I get.

MacroDroid! I love my Pixel6a but losing the flashlight motion was rough. Pretty easy to set up with MacroDroid.

Holy crap, I forgot about that feature from my dark-ages G4. That thing was a piece of crap, but I do miss that (and the twist to open camera.)

Gosh remember how that phone didn't have a compass

Don't forget the twisting motion to turn on the camera!

I switched to a Samsung because I got annoyed with Moto mid-range phones not having fairly standard features like NFC as well as getting tired of the ever increasing screen sizes. Those things aside I LOVED my Moto phones and the gestures were one of the best features.
