2 years ago I did the following:
- Installed the module on Lenovo Tab P11 (android 11)
- During installation, chose fullscreen + disabled all back gestures
After a reboot, a pill disappeared & back gestures stopped working (as expected), but 'Switch between apps' and 'Find all open apps' gestures stopped working, while 'Go to Home screen' gesture continued working (names of gestures are taken from here: https://support.google.com/android/answer/9079644).
After module's uninstallation + reboot, the pill & back gestures were restored, but 'Switch between apps' and 'Find all open apps' gestures weren't (they worked as expected before installation). Just to make sure, I checked directory /data/adb/modules, and it was empty. Moreover, even after I completely uninstalled Magisk (+reboot), those two gestures were not restored.
From the scenario above, the following seem to be the issues (from most severe to less severe):
- Module's uninstallation doesn't restore the original functionality (gestures 'Switch between apps' and 'Find all open apps') P.S.: if there is a workaround for this, please write it in this task - having no 'Find all open apps' is very inconvenient, and having to do a factory reset (or a complete reflash) is only the very last resort.
- If module disables some gestures on the bottom edge when it is installed & the pill is hidden ('Switch between apps' and 'Find all open apps'), it should disable the other ones as well ('Go to Home screen'). The rationale for it - fullscreen mode with disabled back gestures is most useful when one wants to replace built-in gestures with a dedicated gesture app, and disabling only some gestures while leaving the others prevents this replacement (since built-in gestures will interfere with gestures managed by app)
Note: I rarely used 'Switch between apps', and therefore there is some possibility that the claim that the gesture disappeared after installing the module may be false since I don't use the gesture correctly (I tried this gesture recently only after installing the module). 'Find all open apps' gesture is most definitely missing, though.
1-That sounds like a bug on your ROM as my module doesn't leave any remnants when uninstalled, you can try toggling gestures off and on again, if that doesn't help try clearing the /data/resource-cache folder and reboot
2-My module's intentions are not to fully disable gestures as that's beyond what's designed to do and it'd further complicate the installation process
