Wanted to see how everyone in the community felt about the using the android navigation bar buttons vs using gesture control.

I've used the navigation buttons since they released on android and just recently started trying to use the gesture based navigation. It's been a little difficult for me to adapt to it so far, but curious what others experience has been.

I started using Pie controls with Paranoid Android back in 2015 and never gave them up. It's great for muscle memory

    Me too! I actually miss Pie controls sometimes. I know 3rd party apps can replicate it but it just not the same. Maybe it was because of the time period.

    Here's the app I use FWIW: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivianuu.pie

    I went through a lot of different apps before settling on this one. It's a perfect recreation (+ way more customization) and works flawlessly. The app is 100% worth the pricetag if you want Pie controls on stock.
