Wanted to see how everyone in the community felt about the using the android navigation bar buttons vs using gesture control.

I’ve used the navigation buttons since they released on android and just recently started trying to use the gesture based navigation. It’s been a little difficult for me to adapt to it so far, but curious what others experience has been.

    Gestures but swipe to right to go back disabled through adb so I can still swipe for drawers

      I noticed that I can open drawers pretty reliably if I first swipe up or down right on the edge and then start pulling out the drawer, worked pretty good especially for Boost as it had drawers on both screen edges

        I’m pretty sure the intended gesture is just to hold the edge of the screen where the drawer is for a second, then drag. Works alright for me, anyway…
