I’m a long time Samsung Note user and was super happy to see the possibility to install degoogled os on the phone. I have just finished installing e/os and am trying to adjust to all the changes. Before going through the struggle, I wondered if there were some customizations that others have done, which help the phone function in the original way.
For example, I’m used to the navigation bar at the bottom, with 3 choices. The 3 bars, the box and the arrow. The arrow I use the most, which lets you go back one step or page from where you are now. Is there a 3rd party launcher with that feature? Or how is everyone achieving that function?
Is there a launcher that allows easy customization? I used to have 3 home pages, that I could move between.
Do they have that “back” option? On a stock Samsung galaxy, it is the bottom right on the navigation bar.
Maybe I’m not describing it well, but I use it all the time. If this isn’t available, what are people doing instead?
For example, when I’m in a search browser and I click on a couple links, but I want to go back to my original page, or just one page back, I would tap the icon in the right lower corner. Now I either have to start the search over, or navigate to the history tab in the browser.
Or if I’m in another app and want to back up a couple steps and search another directions, again that was the method I used. Navigation on the phone is very inefficient for me now. There must be another way.
This is the winner here. I did activate the 3 buttons, thanks to the comment below, but this gesture option is better. The 3 buttons are in the inverse order, so it wasn’t intuitive.
But with the gestures, I realized the “back button” is just a side swipe. It’s amazing how helpful that function is. Thanks for the help.
There you go. That’s what I was looking for. But it turns out the buttons are in the inverse order of what I’m used to. Now that I learned the correct gesture swipe, that works even better. Thanks.
