That's not the problem. The two-finger swipe works on the 6" Aura, it just doesn't work consistently in any version after 3.12.1.

To clarify, I would say it works as expected about 75% of the time, but the other 25% it does something odd, like fail to respond requiring a second swipe, or it will suddenly jump to maximum or minimum brightness, or it will respond but the brightness will change very slowly or simply stop changing even though I'm still moving my fingers, or it will start highlighting text instead of changing the brightness, and so on. It's one of those features that should "just work", and I have no idea how they took it from working 100% perfectly in 3.12.1 to the mess that it is now.
