NothingAlone I have found out, if youâre using a 3rd party launcher and happen to have a ROOTED CMF phone as well you can simply install the app âEdge Gesturesâ and then set up Home and Recents for the bottom area, I used a DPI of 20 I think so not very big for the bottom edge. Then I disabled the left and right edgeâs completely. While keeping Navigation gestures enabled, you need to firstly âHide the Navigation Barâ so that the Pill is not visible anymore, should be in Lockscreen settings. After that youâll need Iconify + LSPosed module installed (Jinx github fork). Now you must go into Iconify after enabling both LSposed module as well as Magisk module which should be installed I think automatically by the app from my memory, but maybe not. Just google Iconify and youâll find the installation guide as well.
Lastly, the only thing left is to completely disable your System Gestures, so that it doesnât conflict with âEdge Gesturesâ app. Only way I found in Android 15 EVEN with root, to disable the Navigation bar completely only, was to use Iconify go to the âTweaksâ tab on the bottom then Navigation Bar, then scroll all the way to the bottom and set the âBottom Spaceâ option to 2 DP. This seems to pretty much disable them from even working at all. THANKFULLY I CAN USE NOVA LAUNCHER NOW FINALLY. i REGRETY UPDATING TO 3.0 BECAUSE AS SOON AS I SET UP MY NOVA LAUNCHER ON MY NEW PHONE I RECEIVED THE OS 3.0 UPDATED AND IT BROKE MY NOVA LAUNCHER. Frustrating to say the least, so I didnât give up, anyways hope this helps somebody.
This is widely known issue, the flickering and weird animation when trying to go back to the homescreen happens on other phones as well, I think it may have even been around since android 14 but itâs weird because it was working just fine for me with 14. I think this is an issue Google may need to fix themselves, no idea though Iâm just bored and typing for no reason now. đ Although, another simple fix is just using the 3 button Navigation classic bar, but I really wanted to give these gestureâs a try and it worked out! You can also set up a quick switch between apps like ALT-Tabbing in windows, you simply set up swipe right or left in âEdge Gestureâ and it brings up this Alt-tab menu you can cycle through by swiping left or right to switch to apps super quick in a flash. Better than system gestures, for sure.
I think my rant is over for today though, hope I could have helped someone who happens to also have root and specifically happen to have this ANNOYING issue. I would imagine a decent amount of people that buy this phone does root it anyways.
This was the only absolutely only method I found to be able to use 3rd party launchers with this new Nothing OS 3 / Android 15 update. I found out that 3rd party launcher + System NAvigation Gestures are bugged for some reason, so by doing this itâs a work-around to be able to use your favorite launchers!!!
