Hello

For those unfamiliar with Moto gestures (moto actions) the ones i mention are gyroscope based double chop for flash light and and double twist to launch camera, it’s very handy to be able to launch both those actions irrespective of app you’re in and if the phone is locked or not. For example i could be in game, watch youtube or just take the phone from my pocket twist my wrist two times and have camera app launched

Now on OnePlus there are screen off gestures like V for flashlight and O for camera, but those are inconsistent and don’t always work (40-60%?), also those require screen to be off, same with double press power/volume, also double press for power collides with 5 x power for emergency menu.

Are any of you using any apps that enable gyro gestures similar to Motorola ones? all i can find online are old guides, or links to old apps that don’t always work or aren’t necessary trustworthy privacy wise etc. tried it with automate but it doesn’t always work. I prefer apps that are FOSS, gentle on battery and don’t spy on me

      Yeah, starting to regret choosing Nord 3 instead of Edge 40, besides being Motorola it’s waterproof, has wireless charging and eSIM capability

        Tbh I like a phone with basic functionality , but moto adds some simple features to their phones those come in handy ! I have tried number of apps to emulate the moto flashlights but of no use ! Plus a cleaner rom, that i can clean more with adb and root , one plus does not even root i guess !

    I use Gravity Gesture, but it looks like that’s no longer available. I’ll do some digging and see if I can find an apk.

    Edit: yeah, seems to have disappeared from Play Store and FDroid. There are sketchy apk hosting sites if you’re into that, but there’s gotta be a better way.
