MIUI horzontal swipe bad optimization

[zdravke]

I thought I was imagining this at first, but Xiaomi phones do have pretty bad swipe gesture optimization. That is, when you try to swipe notifications horizontally, phone very often takes this as vertical swipe, which collapses the notification/quick setting panel instead. Compared to any other phone, it's much more difficult to swipe horizontally, and this is pretty annoying considering this is something I do very often during the day. You have to be very precise and make a very horizontal gesture at the beginning of swipe, otherwise it goes vertical almost all the time. I had this with all 4 Xiaomi phones I had in the last month.

Not sure if there is some parameter I can set or not.

I experience the same issue. It can be frustrating at times unless you're very particular how you swipe.

I wonder if there is variable in build.prop that can be modified to make this better?

I had the same problem. I changed to unofficial CM and the problem was gone.

Is there any mod or xposed module which could fix this? I find the horizontal swiping quite frustrating at times.

For the 5S? I didn't realize there was a cm ROM available. Got a link to it?
