Some firmware versions limit gesture navigation for **any** custom launcher, including Smart Launcher. If you have problem setting navigation gestures, please check you are using the latest software available for your device. If yes, we suggest continuing using the three-button navigation until a new software update will be available from your device. Today, some manufacturers like Xiaomi still haven't addressed the issue. You can check the relevant page for details. {% content-ref url="/pages/-LmFGY8i3Zu\_U1rvCRW7" %} [Xiaomi / Redmi / Poco](/products/faq/common-issues/device-specific-issues/xiaomi.md) {% endcontent-ref %} ### Smart Launcher doesn't work well with gesture navigation. I experience lags, blinks and/or the recent apps screen has changed. Although Smart Launcher 6 actually is fully optimized to work with gesture navigation, some devices still do not perfectly support gesture navigation for third-party launchers like Smart Launcher. If this is your case, there are only two viable solutions. You can stay with gesture navigation and wait for a future firmware update to fix your problem, or you can switch to three-button navigation. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to fix the problem on our side. We are aware of the problem and we are as frustrated as you for the inconveniences it causes. However, manufacturers are constantly working to fix this kind of problem so we hope the situation will improve soon. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.smartlauncher.net/products/faq/personalization/gestures.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
