Nova Prime functionality with the P3?

[hal1]

Would someone who receives their phone on Wed, the 17th, report on the functionality of the Nova Prime launcher on the P3? Does it eliminate, or work with, gestures? Does it re-instate navigation buttons?

Thanks

Sure. I'll check it out. I plan on continuing using Nova Prime

I'll continue to use Nova Prime on my new Pixel 3 XL 128 and I'll report back here too.

I also plan on using it on my pixel 3

Working fine so far. I'm not a Prime power user, but my setup carried over.

Did it eliminate gestures? Or is that still optional?

Gestures are still optional.

It doesn't reinstall buttons on 2 with Pie and it still uses the native gestures so I'm pretty sure it will do so on the 2 but will confirm on the 3. I don't use Nova these days so I didn't set any of Nova's gestures to see if they all work or conflict.

I thought they were going to kill the option.

By the way I hate you because you have your phone already.

I know man. They need to hurry up! When is yours arriving?

Tomorrow but I might not be home in time.
Friday I'm off but medical at 1pm.
If I miss it tomorrow I'll see if I can have it held at a FedEx location

Just to reconfirm - are you saying you have a P3 or P3XL and it has the option to disable gestures and enable the old 3-button navigation? TIA

I think he is referring to Nova's gestures. There is no option to disable gestures and enable the old 3-button navigation.

 

[Law2138]

Exactly. Gestures on the P3 aren't bad at all. There's the oval and back button. Swipe right from the oval to bring up recent apps.

Maybe I'm missing a setting but you can no longer long swipe/double swipe to bring up the app drawer. Other than that, it works well.
