Swipe Gestures Hiding Nav Bar is back!

[Robin621k]

They heard you, Samsung has brought back the ability to hide your Navigation Bar and Swipe Gestures.

You will have to download Goodlock and specially NavStar once installed toggled on NavStar, Enable extra gesture settings.

Go to settings. Display, navigation, show more, have fun again. 

Ps. If you already have both apps and you are not seeing those options, Open Goodlick again scroll to NavStar, tap on the more, go to store, there will be an update waiting. For some reason it isn't showing up in updates

Hello guys, i can't see the option "enable extra gesture settings" in navstar on goodlock. I would like to get the old gestures, and i tried everything. I dont like the thing that you have to hold for a moment on the screen to get the tab "opened tabs" it is very slow to do it that way... please samsung get us the option to have the old gestures enabled...

Try updating GoodLock.

Ok this how I got it to work...
• Download GoodLock or make sure GoodLock is up to date if you already have the app.

• On GoodLock, scroll down to NavStar and Enable Extra Gesture Settings.

• Once you enable gestures on NavStar, it will add the swipe gestures on your phones settings.

** Summary**
Download or Update GoodLock.

Download NavStar - Enable Extra Gestures Settings.

Phone Settings / Display / Navigation - Enable Swipe Gestures.

Hope that helps.

This is genuinely awful. Am considering returning the S24 ultra. Samsung, fix this now please

This is annoying yes and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to change it. But I'm here to tell you that you can change this to have the original swipe features and choose which side is for the recent apps and for minimizing!

What you need to do is go to the Galaxy Store and download Good Lock and then download NavStar.

Once you do that you can go into Good Lock and and go down to NavStar and then you're going to go and select enable extra gesture settings.

When you do that you'll be able to go back into more options under navigation bar in your system settings.

You will now see that you can remove just your hints so it will get rid of that middle rectangle white bar at the bottom.

Also now you have the old gesture settings from the previous Samsung models where you can swipe up on all three sides and even choose which side you're able to uses the recent apps and what side you're able to close out of apps!

i pre-ordered S24 ultra and was so excited to receive it today, did all the setup and converted my old phone to the new one, though i noticed two big Massive things that are missing

(1) "Always On Display clock style": i am stuck at an orange clock on display for some reason that i cant change and its so annoying since they seemed to remove the AOD clock color settings. i cant stand looking at my phone when its locked and i don't know what to do about it

(2) "navigation bar swipe up": they removed it entirely from setting which was what i've been using since i remember, i can't even figure out the new pattern and i literally hate it already, very baaad experience on the first day of my 1TB 24+ ultra which costed me alot. 

i am so disappointed and i hate the phone already

both things can make them with a different way.

1)Clockface
2)Navstar
both from Goodlock. i tried both.
its not the best way but at least for now until they fix it (if they fix it).

They changed the behavior of swipe gestures. You now have to swipe up and hold to show running apps.

That's not new, it's been there for years. In fact those are the default Android swipe gestures. Samsung used to offer 2 choices, stock Android, or their own legacy gestures. Now the default gestures are the only ones available I guess

The old settings can be restored via the goodlock app, which is a first party samsung developed customization app. Download it in the galaxy store, the install the navstar module. You will see an option to "enable extra gesture settings", select this. Your old navigation options will now return under settings>display>navigation bar>more options
