[App Request] iPhone X Virtual Home Button!

[rotkiv3451]

Guys I'm absolutely in love with the functionality of the iPhone X's home button. If there's a developer out here with a kind soul can you please make an app/mod that gives the S8 that exact functionality? A thin bar that you grab and pull up to go home, slide up and hold for a second for multitasking, and swipe back on it to go back. It's genius and a much better implementation when compared to Android's virtual buttons.

Swipe up from bottom gesture was awesome on my Blackberry Z10. But apparently it was confusing to the average moron consumer bcuz they weren't used to not having a home button of some sort.

That's the beauty of Apple's implementation tho. There's a super thin bar that you have to slide up, which I think is more intuitive. You could use All In One Gestures to get the slide up gesture but it accidentally enables all the time.

Might want to look for Meizu mods, that's where the nice gestures come from

I use Edge Gestures app (with immersive mode of the nav bar). It knows this features, but only on the side edges. I have tried to persuade the developer to the bottom edge, without success up to now. This app has little battery drain and memory usage, and ask only necessary permissions. I love it, prefer to All In One Gestures.

My settings:
Left Edge

Swipe up- Home button
Swipe Down - Google app
Tap - Recent apps
Hold - Scroll to the top
Double tap - VLC
Left - Settings

Right Edge
Swipe up- FB LIte
Swipe Down - Browser
Tap - back
Hold - Gmail
Right - File manager
Double tap - Drive

Very fast and usable.

Since I got rid of the Nav Bar - it was annoying - I use both edges for back (swipe up), home (swipe down), and recents (double tap) with Edge Gestures, and Wave Launcher (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wavelauncher&hl=en) from the bottom to access apps and such. It's very responsive and amazingly customizable. You can change the icons and make it look like Mac OS toolbar (Please don't).

If i can remember, Palm pre OS had this feature first.

Just use this app called GMD gesture control lite offered by good mood droid developers from play store, here's the link:

Work flawless for me on my s7edge powered by bat-man rom with low battery consumption , you can make swipe gesture started from any edge of your screen, even from the top or bottom of the screen, you also can create your own gesture. If the app didn't detect the edge part of your screen, just calibrate your display from the setting inside that apps, before it didn't work also for me, after calibrate it will works. But, unfortunately you have to buy the full version if you want to get full features, there is also the free version of this app if you wanna to try first. Only this app I got the gesture function near to the iphone x gesture features
use at your own risk.
Press thank's if it helps.
