Concept Monday – Blink navigation
Blink navigation is a new way to navigate based on gesture navigation and
some of the fundamental ideas that made PIE navigation so popular: Accessibility, ease of use and more screen real estate.
It will open where you swipe, and can be configured to be triggered on either one or all of the screen edges, great for both left handed and right handed people alike.
This also indicates we can expect to get more paranoid with a better stable version based on Android Oreo in coming days. We have provided you with the active download link for the custom ROM later in the download section. There is also a guide to installation for you to follow.
