Give fresh look to your phone with Fluid N.G, the navigation gestures app inspired by Breccia’s concept.
Usage:
There are two main gestures: ‘Quick swipe’ and ‘Swipe & Hold’ which can trigged from the bottom or side edges of the screen. The side triggers are only available on the bottom half of the screen, allowing you to still access other app side menus.
Actions:
• Back
• Home
• Recent apps
• Toggle split screen
• Open notifications
• Open power dialog
• Open quick settings
• Launch Google search overlay
• Open keyboard selector
• Voice Search
• Launch assistant
• Launch app
• Launch shortcut
More action soon. Requests are welcome 🙂
Installation
The app has a built-in option to hide the software navigation keys (if necessary) but it requires either root access or a pc to grant the app a permission.
PC/Mac instructions:
1 – Enable Developer Mode in the Android settings.
2 – Enable USB Debugging
3 – Install Adb (links bellow)
4 – Run the following adb command to grant the permission
Windows:
adb shell pm grant com.fb.fluid android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
macOS:
./adb shell pm grant com.fb.fluid android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
You can restore the navigation keys using the app or by run this adb command:
Windows:
adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0
macOS:
./adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,0

User Reviews/Opinion:
- Recommended for huge screensize, save time and effort in navigating. A little tricky to setup for first timer like me. Recent update was great, always wanted it to pause during specific apps as Samsung Game tools is built into nav bar. Its still buggy(both gesture and navigation bars were working instead of disabled), but its a great approach.
- 1) “Fingerprint sensor gesture” isnt working at all. 2) on Nokia 7 plus running Android one (pie) “show bar in recent apps screen” isnt working 3) please add system vibration just like you added in pixel. 4) please increase more height in left/right gesture for better accessibility on some big phones. 5) in about> open source license > rebound. its showing color picker site instead of rebound by facebook
- Brilliant! Better then Xiaomi native gestures. Noticed one thing: when I unlock device(redmi 5 plus + Pixel Experience OREO ROM) by fingerprint, I see for a second nav bar on the home screen. I’ve already hide it). Please, Fix it. 3 stars just for your attention 🙂
