I've now had my OP6T for 2 days and I'm starting to form some opinions around it. My first OP phone, came from the last couple Pixels & Nexus phones before that (also have a PH-1). I love lots of things, but hate a few things.
The things I'd like without rooting my unlocked phone:
1. Always-on Display (even if it eats 10% of the battery life!)
2. OnePlus navbar gestures in a way that doesn't suck for Google Assistant and doesn't break some apps by hiding the "Menu" buttons (TiBu is my only example off-hand). The long-press power button assistant shortcut is terrible, imo.
3. Google Feed/Discover instead of OnePlus Shelf
4. Figure out how to enable the "shrink the app to the icon on the home screen" animation I've seen online when you go from inside an app back to the home screen. I've not seen this work once on my phone (stock launcher)
5. Wallpaper on my home screen and lock screen to align properly (it's centered on my home screen but left-justified on my lock screen).
6. Clock to not blind me when I use the fingerprint scanner at night.
7. Dimmed fingerprint scanner animations (they also need to not blind me)
8. Hacked GCam app to use the telephoto lense when zooming
9. Let me use a gesture for lockdown mode, even if the screen is off
10. Remove leading zeros in clock hours (seriously, why is this a thing?)
Is any of this possible right now? I suspect a few things are my ignorance and there rest are just legitimate wishlist items.
Edit - SOLUTIONS!!
1. not yet fixed
2. None but I'm looking into a menu/overlay that pops up when you long-press the fingerprint sensor when unlocking your phone (keep it there for a few seconds after it unlocks). If I can find a way to activate this somehow while logged in, then we may have a solution!
3. not yet fixed
4. This works with OnePlus's custom navbar gestures enabled. This does not work with Pie gestures enabled.
5. not yet fixed
6. not yet fixed
7. not yet fixed
8. not yet fixed
9. not yet fixed
10. not yet fixed
---
Wishlist that I'll never get on this phone:
1. Fast charging with normal USB-C chargers (whether it's USB-PD or just 15W charging, I don't care)
2. Stop screwing around with non-standard USB-C stuff (dongle & charger)
3. Smaller curve radiuses (for both the corners and the notch)
4. Volume/power button arrangement identical to the Pixels, mute switch on the left side
Things that I very much appreciate:
1. Tap to wake
2. Gestures, even with the screen off
3. Fingerprint sensor *always* works in the dark, even if it blinds me
4. Status bar icon customization
5. The Settings cog is available after a single swipe down of my notifications (for some reason Pie hides this by default until you do the double swipe)
6. Silence switch
7. Perfectly-installed screen protector
8. GCam port, complete with Night Sight, working!
Regarding item 2, I leave the standard nav keys on, and use the OnePlus Gestures app at the same time. So I have programmable gestures and the stock nav keys.

Ahh, I was hoping to gain the screen real estate by using gestures and no nav bar. That would certainly solve the problem but at that point, I'd rather use the non-ideal Pie gestures.

If you use OnePlus Gestures to disable the nav bar completely, you can set one of the gestures to summon the Assistant.

OnePlus Gestures app is same as built-in except that you can program your own purpose for a specific swipe gesture. Since I am right handed I programmed the left swipe to either lock the screen or summon the Assistant. All other swipe gestures are same as built-in

Just set it up and the animations still have the huge latency and things don't drag around with my finger. Am I doing something wrong?
1. Classic nav bar enabled
2. Installed OnePlus Gestures + the Hide Navbar app
3. Granted WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
4. Disable navbar from the Hide Navbar app
5. Enabled third-party gestures: (swipe up on sides to Back, swipe up in middle to Home, long swipe in middle to Recents)
When doing this, if I do the long swipe up in the middle, the front app doesn't move around with my finger like it does with the stock OP-style gestures (there's a ~2 second lag in some animations).
If I change step #1 to use OP-style gestures and otherwise follow the same steps, then that problem goes away but the third-party guestures don't really seem to work (long swipe on sides won't open Assistant, for example, so I believe it's just using first-party gestures still).

I like immersive mode and find it much easier to type when in it but the problem is swiping up to make the navbar appear often inputs text that persists when I reopen whichever app I'm in.
Just wondering if there's a way to have a button on the keyboard that either functions as a navbar within the keyboard, toggles the appearance of the status bar/navbar akin to a swipe down or up from the screen edge or simply minimises the keyboard.
Not very interested in using 3rd party keyboards. I like the look and feel of stock/AOSP keyboard so would prefer to keep it for the moment.
Thanks.
When does the keyboard go into full screen mode? I've never seen this happen and always retain nav button functionality. Couldn't you just slide from the top as usual?

You need to download Secure Settings. The toggle you need is 'Expand Desktop'. It's easy to just list a load of apps that will toggle this.
Lastly you need to add an exit task to disable immersive mode.
Has anybody been able to get the fingerprint scanner to bypass a secondary security feature to open the phone after doing double tap to sleep while using a different launcher? I like Action Launcher 3 but so far every double tap to sleep app that can be controlled by AL3's gestures requires knock code to open the phone even if the fingerprint scanner is used to wake the phone. I found one that worked with my previous phone (GS7E) but it's not compatible with this phone. So far every app I've tried hasn't worked (including ones that say they are MM fingerprint compatible).
Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk
Ohh... So that's what happens. I thought my phone was randomly turning off the fingerprint feature. Using Nova and that's happening to me as well
It's something that's been happening since MM
you can double tap the status bar and it will work but limits you to double tap only on that area (even the Nova beta has the issue too)
In MM there was a workaround using Screen Lock Pro app form the playstore, but it no longer works in Nougat
Hoping the developer fixes it soon(if possible).

Use the app DTSO from the Google Play Store:

Place an invisible widget on your homescreen & you have DTTS.
Yes,you do need to make room for a widget on your homescreen,but,unless you cram pack your desktop with apps/floders/etc...,this shouldn't be hindrance.
Will this work with secure locking,IDK,I just use swipe to open,but,if you're looking to regain DTTS,it's worth a shot.

DTTS is not the problem, we can get it to do that.
The issue is the secure lock and wanting to use fingerprint sensor on the subsequent wake.

I've got double-tap on my home screen set to open Google Now. I didn't even think you could turn off the screen double tapping anywhere but the status bar?
First off the S8+ is gorgeous yada yada.....but here are some of my observations.
a) Notifications show at top as an icon but there is no preview, floating notification or anything of the sort to let me know if I care or not about the notification without pulling the tray.
b) Tray is white and hard to read. There doesn't seem to be clear breaks in between the notifications so everything runs together rather than a hard line separation.
c) The notifications on the lock screen are simply small icons with no detail, even though I have the "Notifications Icons only" unchecked in settings
d) Touchwiz doesn't rotate to landscape. Everything is customizable enough so Samsung doesn't have me running to replace with a launcher but I need it to rotate. May revert back to Nova......
I have the same issue with a). For c) double tap the home button and it takes you to lock screen with notifications. The icons are for AOD.

My complaints so far are Fingerprint scanner location, and the Bixby button. Why not just make an app for Bixby? If it's good, people will use it. If not, it's cause it sucks. To add a physical button locked to Bixby is just friggin lazy. Apple wouldn't even do that.
Update:
Thanks for the tip on the double tap of the home button on the lock screen.
Another issue is there is no way to programatically pull down the tray without dislocating my thumb. I installed a third party floating widget that fixes this.

Nova and other third party launchers let you pull down the tray by swiping down anywhere on the screen.
Go to touchwiz settings, enable the apps button (this disables the pull down to apps). The pull down gesture will now open app the notification tray.

The options on the "full screen gestures" nav are blocked when you use Nova Launcher unfortunately.
Temporary solution for me. Good Lock and one handed operation. At least I can get back swipe to go back.
I use edge gestures and have it setup so that swipe from left to right is back, swipe down is home, and swipe up is recents apps
Then use immersive manager to hide navigation bar. That's been my setup for a while and is the first thing I do when seeing up a new phone
Just a heads up to those looking for another possible solution

works like a charm bro. thanks for the help. it was really helpful.
earlier i was using a Oneplus 6T, so with it even after warning message from nova on gestures, full screen gestures worked smoothly. once i moved to S20+ 2 weeks back i was looking for the option on how to enable this option as default launcher sucks once u used Nova.
I know gesture navigation in 3rd party launchers is suppose to work on oneui 2.5 on note 20 ultra. But it doesn't work very well at all.
1. Swiping up to get to recent apps is not a very smooth animation, but worse is that the current app gets positioned in the middle rather than to the right, so quick switching is cumbersome.
2. Trying to use the swipe right on the bottom for previous app is a buggy mess. It's unsmooth and pops in the recent view briefly. Often you get stuck and cannot use the app you switched to, needing to swipe back and switch back and forth to get normal operation again. After trying to use these swipe right/left gestures to quick switch apps, you cannot scroll through the recent apps view quicky anymore, one swipe always mean moving one app to the left or right no matter how strong the swipe. This stays until rebooting.
It's a buggy mess, is there any way to fix this? I'm using Nova, but the problems are the same on all 3rd party launchers.
it might be improved with Android 11

Oh. I'll have a look at lawn chair and compare the experience. Seems strange how there would be different results in different launchers. Trier Microsoft launcher and it worked the same. I'll make a video of the issues if they turn out being the same on lawn chair.
I just installed the Microsoft Launcher and yeah quite some few animations are missing, plus recent apps are showed blank until I swipe between them.

I don't have any issues so you can give it a try and see how it goes. Yes, its all in the good lock app.
But animations are part of the launcher so its totally normal that you won't get the same effect from a third party launcher. My gestures work fine with Nova. No issues here. Animations are different but its a different launcher so that's to be expected too.

Looks interesting but there are missing features like a swiping left or right to move between previous apps, also there's usually issues specific to this kind of solution. Haven't tried it though. It may be a viable alternative.
This app compare with the other has an advantage, that you set up the app how you want to. if you want to have left or right to go back to last apps you can do it. Like for example I have it for mine
Bottom center click
Go home
Bottom center click and hold
Google Assistant
Bottom center swipe up
Recent apps
Bottom center swipe left
Go back to last app
Bottom left swipe up
Last app
Bottom right swipe up
Recent apps
Buttom Left and right side of screen
Go Back
Top Left and right side of screen
Lauch apps
All but the buttom center are transparent
I'm using a combination of Nova gestures and One Hand Operation+, set system navigation to buttons, double tap navigation bar to hide system buttons.
Swipe up from bottom and nav / home button appears.
Use side swipe in OHO+ for back and switcher.
Use nova on home screen, swipe down for app search, swipe up for switcher, double tap home screen for notification / quick settings.

I'll certainly give it a try. Thanks!
Do you use good lock as well? Animations are OK as is i guess, it's the bugs that bother me. Stuck screens, glitches etc.

Just tried swiping right in Nova and you are totally right it is glitchy. Unfortunately it summons the recents functionality and your left with a hybrid of recents and previous page so i can swipe up to close a page thats in full size. I had never noticed because i dont really use that functionality.

Just tried good lock app switcher. Seems to fix the glitch

For those that cannot run Good Lock (such as myself, since it is not running in my country) you can give Nice Lock a try, helps you run Good lock services anywhere
One Hand Operation+ works very well and uses very little battery.
Try clearing the system cache on the boot menu, my favorite gremlin exterminator.
I'm running nova. Not getting any bugs or errors.
