New Gestures at MIUI 12


In the last beta of MIUI 12 the home gesture is not working in some apps, it works more on system apps only.
I can confirm it on YouTube. Used it for a while and the home gesture didn't work. Turned off screen and opened it and works again.
Also happens in some other apps but not all the time.

Device Mi 9.
 
Issue on Mi Mix 2s:
in some Apps (for example "Kaspersky Password Manager") fullscreen gestures don't work

Can confirm this on Mi Mix 3. Seems to be happening on fullscreen apps. Also on Facebook Messenger chat head window. Locking and unlocking the screen seems to work to curb the problem.
 
Same on my Mi 9 Lite. It happens on a lot of apps, but especially on YouTube when watching a video in fullscreen.
 
Same here, sometimes "swipe up to go home" doesn't work in certain apps like facebook, youtube and even in system apps like settings or messages. This bug was present in all MIUI 12 releases. Mi9SE.

I think that is a launcher related problem. Today i have installed the latest release of the launcer from apkmirror and the gesture bug is gone. But, the latest release is missing the unlock animation.

Version launcher?

The home gesture bug was present also in this week release. But, with this version the bug is gone.
 
Thanks, but how do you update it?
- With root =>
1) Download "SAI" app (available on Google Play Store)
2) Open it and configure it to use "Rooted" for 'apk installation'
3) Install new MIUI Launcher APK in SAI
4) Reboot your phone (recommended)

- Without root =>
1) Rename the new MIUI Launcher APK to "MiuiHome.apk"
2) Boot your phone in TWRP
3) Go to "Mount" menu and tick "System"
4) Go back to main TWRP menu and go to "Advanced" > "File Manager"
5) Select and copy/cut the new MiuiHome.apk (in '/sdcard/...' directory) to '/system_root/system/priv-app/MiuiHome/'
6) Go in "Advanced" > "Terminal"
7) Type:
Code:
rm /data/system/package_cache -rf
8) Reboot your phone

;)

Any link to the legit apk?;-)
 
Yes, the launcher from apkmirror gestures work, but the launcher has much less options/customizations to be configured comparing to the in-built one
