Add toggle to disable "lock in recents" feature #547

Description

@NeptunePy

First off, thank you for the incredible work on crDroid! The ROM has been fantastic. I'm reporting these minor issues to help make it even better. Really appreciate everything you do for the community!

Issue

The recently added ability to lock applications in recents interferes with gesture navigation. When attempting to swipe down to bring an app in recents to the foreground, the gesture is instead triggering the lock-in-recents action, preventing normal app navigation.

Current Behavior

  • Swiping down on an app in recents locks/pins the app instead of bringing it to the foreground
  • This breaks the expected gesture navigation workflow
  • There is no way to disable this behavior currently (or i didn't find it)

Expected Behavior

Users should have a toggle option to disable the "lock in recents" feature, allowing gesture-based navigation to work as intended without "conflicts", without locking.

Requested Solution

Add a preference/toggle in Settings that allows users to:

  • Enable the lock-in-recents feature (for users who want it)
  • Disable the lock-in-recents feature (for users who prefer gesture navigation)

Also, I'm not sure if this is the right place to report this, but when taking a screenshot, the Google Lens logo appears on bottom left, even on non-GApps ROM / Vanilla, which is kinda weird.
