Disable left back gesture

[brandontowey]

I use the left swipe for menus a lot and was really hating the back gesture messing that up. Found https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/disable-androids-back-gesture-left-side-make-hamburger-menus-easier-open-0338679/ and worked perfectly. The below ADB code is what I used and assumes you have the Android SDK and ADB set up.

adb shell settings put secure back_gesture_inset_scale_left 0

You can adjust the sensitivity for each side in settings. This just turns it completely off?

Yes and it works perfectly on Pixel 5 too.
Setting lower sensitivity won't disable back gesture.

I don't think it turns out all the way, I've had it trigger in apps with no left menu. It's much less sensitive though and the menu will pop out first. I'm thinking of doing it in the right too because it's way too sensitive for the browser I use, which has a ton of gesture controls.

The sensitivity in settings did nothing for me so found this.
