Gestures conflict with Android system navigation

Smart Launcher gestures conflict with Android system gestures. How can I fix it?

Conflicts can happen because navigation gestures are handled by the system, while Smart Launcher gestures are handled by the launcher and (for some actions) by the Accessibility service.

Try this sequence:

  1. Update your device firmware to the latest available version.

  2. Re-enable the Smart Launcher Accessibility service from Android settings.

  3. Turn off battery optimization for Smart Launcher (to avoid Accessibility service shutdowns).

  4. Reduce overlaps: avoid assigning launcher gestures that are too similar to system edge/back gestures.

  5. If issues persist, temporarily switch to 3-button navigation and test again.
