Their own charts/graphs on that page show that the new approach is WORSE (by their own metrics) than the 3 soft buttons.
I hope there remain ways to hack the buttons back (in 9.x there was):
#install a 3rd party launcher (nova)
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.google.android.apps.nexuslauncher
settings put secure gesture_swipe_up 0
settings put secure system_navigation_keys_enabled 1
reboot
- ehsankia 7y agoYou don't need any "hack", right in System > Gestures > Navigation, all three options are openly available (100% gesture, 2-button + gesture, old 3-button style). I believe they intent on keeping it all available for sometime, if only for accessibility reasons. Also, the charts show that it's either equal and better, and there's also the implicit fact that not showing buttons also means more screen space, so even if usability metric is the same, visually it's a win.
