Themes / Apps / Mods How-To Enable Two-Button Navigation on Android 12 (Root Required)!

[rwilco12]

I am a huge fan of the old Two-Button Navigation that Google gave us with Android 9. I always try the latest and greatest with nav gestures and always come away feeling like they are lacking. Unfortunately, Google officially removed Two-Button Navigation with Android 10. Fortunately, there's a way to bring it back! And it's even easier now than it was before! Just install the Magisk Module and enable it in Settings.

Yep! I originally put the files together for Oxygen OS 11 but they work for Android 12 as well. In fact, they work better for Android 12! I'm using it right now on my Pixel 6 and you can see it all in action in my video.

Hello, this does not work on OOS 12 on my OnePlus 9 Pro... When I activate it, I have the 2 buttons but I can't open the recent app drawer...

Dang! I haven't had a chance to try it on OOS 12 yet. I'll have to give it a try and see what I can figure out.

The link won't take you directly to the files like in the video. IDK if they were moved or what, but you can find them pretty easily if you navigate through the folders and find one named "Magisk modules". Confirmed that this does work on the Pixel 6 (oriole).

Sorry, I'm not sure what link you're looking at but the link in the OP is the same one I used in the video. Can you show me what link you're looking at so that I can fix it? Thanks!

Actually, that's on me. I copied the link into Chat from my browser so I could click on it from my phone rather than trying to find the post from the app, because I'm lazy. Chat inexplicably only hyperlinked up to the "Misc" folder, so I essentially clicked on https://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.php?dir=Files/Misc Disregard then.

Lol that's actually not you at all! That's 100% on me and the noob I was when I built the site 10+ years ago. I put a space in "Misc Files" instead of an underscore or something and most browsers don't like spaces. I've wanted to fix that for years but it would require some massive overhauls and updating hundreds of links all over the Internet. Sorry for the pain!
