You can make any gesture do anything with GMD and Tasker.

Also, any tap to wake option is a battery killer. I tried touch control for a day. Loved it! But my battery took a sh*t kicking. Lol

I'm going to guess its no different than tap as a battery killer, but that's a guess. Tho in both cases the phone is waiting anxiously for a tap or slide....and either way battery is plummeting as it wait. LOL
Haven't actually tried swipe tho. Didn't like the sounds of it. Double tap yeah....but slide doesn't sound as appealing.

what sound of slide there is no sound,for wake up the phone im using touch control short slide from left to the right,and screen of and lock app with the same name

The two apps i use
All these types of apps consume battery as they need to run in the background so it works to when you want them to

Ah, yes, you're right about that, and, moreover, Tasker's (Secure Settings) "Wake Device" function could be activated with the screen off only by an accelerometer gexture, not a tap on the screen (I'm not even sure about that, though).
Well, at any rate, you should try Touch Control for yourself. I have not noticed any immoderate battery use over the past three months during which I have had it installed, and it's very handy.

kj2112's used the phrase,
"Haven't actually tried swipe tho. Didn't like the sounds [sic] of it. Double tap yeah....but slide doesn't sound as appealing."
In this case, the verb "to sound" is being used in an idiomatic expression which means "to give the impression that", "to seem", or "to appear". kj2112 was saying, in essence, "I did not try Touch Control's slide-to-wake feature because it did not seem to be something which I would like".

Gravity screen (Pro) unlocks the screen or with motion or by hovering your hand over the proximity sensor, link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenofffree and Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenoffpro.

[APP]Button Backlight Disabler

Finally, good russian developer beshkenadze created widget that disables keypad backlight..
1) Requires root
2) Keypad backlight is enabled back when you suspend and resume Galaxy Tab
3) Works for about 30 sec first time, don't worry.. It will ask for root permissions at that time. After that it works immediately..
Take it from
Android Market Web
Awesome, works great!
Turns off backlight okay.

Now if.someone could just find a way to link it to a button, and make it turn on and off. We would be in buisness. I know it doesnt turn the lights back on yet.
Or, after it is able to turn lights on and off, link it somehow to the touchscreen.

It can turn on lights, and will after some work..But dev is not going to make it react on touchscreen and work with timeout..
Update, now widget contains two buttons - turn on and turn off
It saddens me that the light wont STAY off after locking and unlocking the screen.
Otherwise, it works!

I agree. The widget needs some work, it is rather unattractive as it is right now. I didn't even understand there were 2 sides to the widget until reading this thread.
IMO, it should be more like the Power Control widget. A toggle style button.

Delete widget and add again.. That's bug in launcher, widget shows as 1x1 after update, but it is 2x1 now.. And shows two normal icons..
Ah, I see. I would still prefer a 1x1 toggle style widget. Eating up 2 home screen icon spaces for something like this is a bit much.
Ugh, new widgets are ugly. Takes up.way too much space.

[Q] LG G2's Feature: Knock off

Hey anybody,
Is there a way to port the 'Knock-off' feature from the LG G2 to our N5?
I know, there is a 'Knock on'/DT2W feature, but no 'Knock-off'.
I tried the LG G2 for a few minutes and I love this feature! It would be great, if its possible on the N5!
Maybe a good developer can add this feature to a Kernel? Mostly liked on the Franco-Kernel!
Thanks in advance & Sorry for my bad English!
Please give the link to the Knock On apk.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I don't know if there is a apk for Knock-On feature?
I use Knock-On/DT2W (is the same, for me ) with the franco-kernel (there is a build, with dt2w, not from franco).
But I'm interested in the Knock-Off or DT2S (DoubleTap2Sleep ).
Apk or flashable zip or Xposed mod is wayne!

It's not an APK. You need to install a kernel that supports it like Franco or Faux123.

+1. I use dt2w a lot but having a dt2s (d tap to sleep) would be even better. For now though, I just use the sweep to sleep and wake so I don't really need to use the power button a lot.
The problem with how the G2 does the knock off is that it only works on the home screen. If you're in an app, then you cant turn it off.
EDIT: I'm wrong...you just double tap the notification bar.
I don't like sweep2sleep, i prefer the tap!
Also it uses a lot of battery! :'(
DT2W/DT2S would be great, in my opinion! But I won't change to the LG2 only for this feature :/
That you can turn off your device only on home screen makes sense.
Zoom in the Chrome App would be impossible, if the double tap shut off.
Only on home screen is good.
I tried the G2 (for a few minutes in a shop) and you can turn off the device with a double tap everywhere on the home screen.
If you are in an app, I don't know how it will react on a double tap - not tested

Nobody interested in this feature I asked for or is there an solution in another thread?
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
Using chaoskernel.
Edit... im wrong
ChaosKernel has the feature integrated?
Can't find any information about D2TS/DoubleTap2Sleep.
I can only find some information about DT2W and Sweep2Wake & Sweep2Sleep but I'm not interested in the 'Sweep' Function!
I want to tap! Like on a G2.
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5 mit Tapatalk
Sorry! No dt2s by chaos yet.
Knock on feature requires a modified kernel, not just an app.
Edit: You talk about knock off, not nock on.
Hi,
Anyone know if there are any news about duble tap to wake up/sleep for nexus5?
Exposed GravityBox for AOSP has it... probably other exposed modules have it to.
I like how this old thread's title is "knock off" (double tap homescreen to sleep) and everyone talks about double tap to wake. Lol.
Tapping twice is easier than pressing the power button?

Yeah could be if its in a cradle of wireless charger. The device needs force applying to the power button and a counter force applying to the left side of the phone, which can be awkward.
That said , I removed double tap status bar to sleep from my slim room m because I kept accidentally triggering it.

I have this issue as well - Even though I've turned off Peek and Pocket Mode, my proximity sensor still turns on when screen is off.
Also, I definitely remember not having this issue before I'd turned Peek and Pocket Mode both on. I mean, proximity sensor was working fine when both the options were off i.e., it would turn off even after screen off; then I turned both of them on and so it started staying on after screen off, and now a few days later when I turned both options off, sensor still turns on after screen off.
Any clues to solve this?
Otherwise great ROM, gonna probably use it as daily driver

We look forward to the new update 4.6 AOSP Parandroid
Really enjoying this ROM but I have encountered two small, but not unnoticeable issues-
1) After switching from notifications to quick toggles or vice versa, the switch button is pushed off the edge of the screen as shown below-

2) Quite often, video playback is warped in black and white, again shown below-
Any suggestions on how to fix these would be much appreciated!
Is the Development stopped??? 3 months without update!!!
Well is this the ROM this Q&A thread is for? If so then the dev posted a comment 5 days ago and he's definitely still working on it.

If you root and get G3 tweaksbox you can set volume up as torch with screen off
I don't know if its the best out there but Super-Bright LED Flashlight works fine for me.
I simply use long press home button to turn the torch on/off. Works only if you have root and gravity box of course...

Is there a way to change screenshot button combo?

so on my older Android phone to take a screenshot I had to press volume down+ power. easy one handed operation. now I have to press power and home button. wtf!! can this be changed because is freaking annoying to have to use two hands every time. I'm on 930t.
Umm. It's only power and home. No volume button

You could use the palm swipe gesture. It's been like this on Samsung phones since at least the S2, so outside of a possible party utility, you aren't going to be able to change it

Like mentiond above, easiest way is to press home button and power button simultaneously. You have to press and hold them at the same to to make it work. If you first press the home button and half a second later the power button, then it won't work. The swipe-to-screenshot gesture is more difficult to use for me as I sometimes need a second attempt to make the screenshot.
How to take a screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy S7
If you're rooted it would be readily available when you long press the power button. A window will pop up giving you one of many options and one of them is a screenshot command. Which will exit out the window and take a screen shot of your current screen. Pretty damn useful.

there are apps like "all in one gesture", where you can define a hotkey and add an action like screenshot..

e.g. I use longpress home for screenshot

Depending which ROM you decided to install you'll get the options built in. If you decided to go with a plain root yes xposed will help.

You are welcome! I also love it.
Even nicer is double tap status bar for screen off! This won't cripple smart lock also...

yea man it has some great features for sure. I like your wu reference btw.
3 finger swipe for Nougat screen shot is idiotic
The 3 finger down swipe, in addition to needing two hands and 3 fingers, usually scrolls down whatever screen you're on before the image is captured. Was very annoyed until I found that screen shot could still be added to the power button options. I stand corrected.
