Hello All!
I was wondering, if there is a way to turn on the screen on any android device {I have an i9100(CM10.2) and an i9505 (stock with root)} by drawing a gesture on the locked and turned off screen?(a gesture like the ones in GMD, or Nova) I know it would consume a bit more battery, and that there are apps, like Gravity box, that aim to do this, via the proximity sensor, or gyro/accelerometer, but I'd like to do it with the gesture(a little like the LG G pro 2 or the LG G2...
Anybody have any idea, suggestion? I've heard or read of something like this before, but I cannot find it anywhere...

Is there any way in Windows Phone to prevent the screen from rotating when you turn the phone sideways?
It's really annoying when I want to use my phone in bed, as the screen turns sideways when I don't want it to.
I have an LG Optimus 7, if that is significant. (Though I doubt it)
Is there even as much as a registry hack to do this, even if there's no GUI-based way to do it?
Very annoying indeed. I've been wondering about this too for the same reasons as OP.
yes i agree, it would be a good feature to allow the user to change
some apps have the ability to lock orientation, like Metro browser, so that means it can be changed but i don't know if only within the app or system-wide
one of my favorite things about the optimus 2x had been the text gesture control.
does anyone know if it is possible to get this to work on our g2x with the swype keyboard? or would i need to use the LG keyboard to make it work.

Good thread I'd like to have these myself.
Me too!! I believe it was in the LG software overlay. However I hear its coming to CM7 and will also allow U to set up swipe gestures from the lock screen. Anyone else here this?
CM7 already has Lockscreen Gestures for custom unlock swipes and launching applications. This has been out for a while. I usually disable my Lockscreen sliders so you can't see them and ONLY use the gestures. People who try to get in my phone are totally clueless. Plus they are easy to change to whatever.
The video doesn't really use Gestures at all but rather the GSensor. Seemed gimmicky at best. It is a feature that I would probably enable, play with, and forget about the next time I flashed the next Nightly.
I can imagine the battery this thing would eat having the GSensor active all the time waiting for your input. No offense but I'll pass.
Yesterday i bought a tablet. Im not rich so i bought a cheap one: Tomtec excellent 8. After playing for some time with it i saw that my g sensor isnt working the right way with some games. Move left is go right which is annoying with racegames. I also saw that you can change g sensor in settings. It says its needed for some games. But this is still not the change i need. with this change the axes change 90 degrees. Think it has to do with the fact that a lot tablets have landscape screen as default and not portrait.
But what i want to know is if theres a fix for my problem. Maybe some of you know a tool that can change the gsensor? I cant find a solution for this, but some other tablets seem to have the same problem (flytouch 3). My tablet is not yet rooted, and im not sure if i change the g sensor the hard way, will it then always be changed? I only want it changed with a couple of games.
any help ????
No one???? So there is not such an app?
So one of the main things I hated when switching to the LG G3 is the fact that I'm someone who likes to use third party launchers like Nova Launcher. Because of that, I lost one of the main selling points of the LG G3, double-tap to turn off the screen from the Home Screen. Well, this morning I had some random epiphany and realized there's gotta be an app to turn off the screen without using the button on your phone, and remembered Nova has a gestures and clicks shortcut feature to perform tasks. So whether you have an LG G3 and are in my situation OR someone who has ANY other Android device and wants to do this too, be sure to check out my latest video!
I got rather used to double-tapping the screen on my prior phones to either wake up or turn off the screen. I cannot find that feature within the Moto G7 Power Android 9 Pie configuration / setup. Looking around, this feature seems to be available in Android Pie generally.
What am I missing?
It's not a native feature. We're you using an LG phone? You can get it back if you use Nova launcher. At least for screen off, won't work for screen on.
As stated above, knock on is a feature of LG phones.
As an alternative, look for WaveUp on the play store. Open source app that turns in the wave feature not included in the G7.
Not as nice as the knock on, but one you get used to basically touching the proximity sensor, it works the same.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I know! A little frustrating to move BACKWARD in an operating system feature set!

It should become a moto gesture, that'd be EPIC.
LG even make a fridge with a knock-on light so you can see what drinks you've got in the door.
Sorry, nothing useful to add! It's not a native feature of pie, however.
Tap your screen to semi-wake so lockscreen clock (if set) will appear then scroll up from bottom of screen and pin input appears. Proximity sensor seems poor so many taps may be needed.
Wouldn't the Face Unlock be much easier and prevent the need for a double tap? Of course it wouldn't work in dark areas. Things like these I think they implement because it might be better or easier
If someone makes a custom kernel and adds DTTW then your in like flin.
