Navigation Bar. Full Screen Gestures or Buttons

[bembol]

How do I turn this into a poll?

I want something different so I went with Gestures. One of the reasons why I use launchers like Nova Prime and Evie.

I'm all in on full gestures and using them without even gestures hints. Granted I'm used to them on the iPhone, One UI beta on the S9+ etc. Personally prefer the gestures.

using gesture navigation with no gesture hints. my old S8 had terrible nav bar burn in so I'm all in on gesture nav

Personally I don't get why anyone would want gestures. I like to see what I'm pressing or at least where on the screen the actual button is.

100% agree. I tried the gestures for 2 days and ultimately went back to the on screen buttons.

There are certain apps that I like to completely back out of. Swiping up 2, 3 or even 4 times depending on the app is super cumbersome. Pressing the back button that many times is much easier.

Just my opinion.

I used gesture from day one. Swipe up from the right to go back. Middle to go home and swipe from the right edge for multitask.( Good lock app installed).

At first I didnt like gestures either. But now after using it for a little over a week it doesn't bother me.

100% gestures. I wish the stupid Google assistant wasn't locked to the home button though. Swipe up and hold from the middle should be the recent apps / multitasking. Only a neaderthal can easily reach the left swipe!

Just FYI if you leave the gesture hints on you can quickly switch apps by sliding horizontally from the middle to the right, like on pixels. For some reason with the gesture hints off it's disabled

Yeah I found that out after switching off the gesture hints and then switched back to the gesture hints since I use that gesture all the time to switch between apps on the iPhone and on pixel when I had.

Buttons, I really do not like Samsung's gestures at all. Why do everything with one swipe when you can complicate it with three??

I would have installed Fluid NG but I hear it does not play nicely with the FPS so buttons for me.

Tried both methods. Ambivalent about onscreen gestures. Buttons don't bother me as they don't bother me in terms of screen real estate on a 6.4 inch screen.

I must be doing something wrong because I just can't make that work.

 

[lindajm22]

Nevermind. I was using Good Lock's Task Changer and you can't have them both.

Very cool! They need to let us do that without the Gesture Hints, though.

tried it for a while but moved back to on screen buttons

I was ambivalent about the onscreen gestures but, after using the gestures all day, I could be a permanent convert.

 

[jlangner]

100% gestures

I tried gestures and didn't care for it on my 9 plus when I got pie. I couldn't get used to it but didn't give it enough time I guess.
