How to Enable Android 10 Gestures on Asus Zenfone Lite L1/Live L1 (AOSP 10)

How to Enable Android 10 Gestures on Asus Zenfone Lite L1/Live L1 (AOSP 10) | Fix: Missing Full Screen Gestures on Android 10 Custom ROM (Asus Zenfone L1/L2) | ADB Guide: Enable Android 10 Gestures on Zenfone Lite L1 & Live L1

Hey everyone, this is Kali from TechFanciers!

If you have recently flashed the latest AOSP Android 10 Custom ROM on your Asus Zenfone Lite L1, Live L1, or Live L2, you might have noticed a frustrating issue: the native Android 10 Gesture Navigation is missing or disabled.

By default, you might be stuck with the old 3-button navigation bar. In this guide, I will show you exactly how to force-enable full-screen gestures using ADB commands. It’s a simple process, and I’ll walk you through it step-by-step.

Prerequisites Before we start, make sure you have:

1. A PC or Laptop.
2. Your Asus device connected via USB.
3. ADB & Fastboot Drivers installed on your PC. (Link in description)

Step 1: Enable USB Debugging First, we need to prepare your phone:

1. Go to Settings > About Phone.
2. Tap on Build Number 7-8 times until you see “You are now a developer!”
3. Go back to System > Developer Options.
4. Enable USB Debugging.

Step 2: Connect to PC & Verify ADB

1. Connect your phone to your PC using a USB cable.
2. Open the folder where your ADB tools are installed.
3. Right-click and select “Open PowerShell window here” or “Open Command Prompt here”.
4. Type the following command to check the connection: adb devices
5. If you see a prompt on your phone screen, tap Allow. Your device should now appear in the list on your PC.

Step 3: The Magic Commands Now, let’s enable the gestures. Copy and paste the following command into your ADB window and hit Enter:

To Enable Full Gestures (Hide 3-Button Nav):

Useful ADB Commands : 
To Check Whether a device is connected to PC: adb devices
Enable fully gestural navigation: adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural
Enable 2-button navigation: adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.twobutton
Enable 3-button navigation: adb shell cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.threebutton

(Note: This command forces the overlay that enables the gesture navigation bar.)

Once you hit enter, check your phone. The 3-button navigation should disappear, and you will see the Android 10 gesture pill (or full screen if hidden).

How to Revert (Enable 3-Button Nav) If you don’t like the gestures and want your buttons back, simply run this command:

To Check Whether a device is connected to PC: adb devices
Disable fully gestural navigation: adb shell cmd overlay disable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural
Disable 2-button navigation: adb shell cmd overlay disable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.twobutton
Disable 3-button navigation: adb shell cmd overlay disable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.threebutton

This will disable the gesture overlay and bring back the standard navigation bar.

Conclusion That’s it! You should now have fully functional Android 10 gestures on your Asus Zenfone Lite L1 or Live L1 running AOSP 10. We expect future builds to have this fixed natively, but for now, this ADB workaround is the best solution.
