KnockOn substitute - Verizon HTC One (M8)

I came from the G2, and loved knock on. The M8 has motion launch, but with that its all or nothing, you enable all the gestures or you get none at all. Is there a way to get a more knock on like feature?

Not quite. It works only when it thinks it's in portrait, and all the gestures have to be enabled. I need only tap to wake.

Go into settings , display and gestures , g sensor calibration and calibrate it poorly intentionally slanted against a book or whatnot. It'll think you're in portrait when you're not. To unable separate ones you'll need to be rooted but the xposed module sense 6 toolbox has the option to disable select ones. Hope this helps.

[Q] Screen not turning on during calls!

Hello everyone,
So i bought a one X a couple months ago and it already came with a custom rom, i removed that and installed the Team Viper rom and currently have the latest version installed (April 10). The phone screen will not turn on during a call if you move the phone away from your ear like it should, the only way to get it to turn on is by pressing the power button and even then it only stays on for a few seconds and then turns right back off. Im not sure if this worked before i installed Viper. Any suggestions guys?

Do you have a case? Try placing a call and use your finger to left of the AT&T logo. I don't know much about viper but could be a setting (usually accessibility) that does that.

You can also try calibrating g sensor.

I tried both of the suggestions from you guys and none of them work. I tried doing a full wipe and re installing the viper rom but no success...anything else?
Have you set a security lock for the home screen?

also is there a screen timeout? and im sure android has a feature where you can hang up using power button...again i am not sure about viper, but if you go to settings > accessbility > and make sure certain things are not checked, that can help...if that doest work, then your proximity sensor could not be working...does your auto brightness adjust accordingly?

There is no security lock for the homescreen, the auto brightness also works perfectly. I cant find anything in accessibility the only thing checked off is auto rotate screen. I think it may be the proximity sensor then because the digitizer on the phone looks like it was replaced.
The only other thing that I can think of is a screen protector that is blocking it or it has smudges that need to be cleaned. They have apps that calibrate proximity sensors but I have never used them.

I seen those up here. Search the forums or play store. Is the auto brightness using the same sensor or is it two? Tried looking, but can't tell.
Sent from my Carbon-ize Evita using xda-developers app
I believe it is two. If both auto brightness and proximity were running off the same sensor, they would both act up. I think. Just a theory. But if it is one sensor then the calibration app should work.

It would make sense to be two. But who knows?

Tap to wake - aka PGM - KnockOn

Lets Get this Note 3 party started!
The LG G2 has the knock on feature by stock default, called "KnockOn" since it has its only buttons on the back.
I currently run an app called PGM along with Fancy Kernel on my Galaxy Nexus this provides the same functionality.
Phone on desk in sleep mode, screen off. TAP TAP! on the screen and she wakes up.
Hoping we see this implemented on the Note 3 as its a feature that everyone loves and uses all day long.
Does your Galaxy Nexus suffer battery loss because of using that feature?
Sounds cool, I wouldn't mind that feature does it require root?

It will very likely drains the battery a bit

I have installed it in my brothers nexus 4...app is called touch control
Battery drain is very minimal
Needs root and custom kernel

The Note 2 and 3 has a home button that will wake the screen, so I see no need for me to use a knock-on feature..
I have it right now on the Note 2 using a different kernel and trickster mod app. Only issue is that if your pants have a thin inner liner your leg will turn on the phone. Same thing happened when I first did it on the Verizon Nexus. So it's not phone specific.
I'm sure that issue can be rectified with some enhancmenets for example :
- While Offscreen, reduce screen sensitivity
- If Offscreen AND touchwake event occurs, check light and proximity sensor, if both are dark and proximity==1 DO_NOT_WAKE_SCEEN
- Etc.
As for the dude who said the home button wakes the screen, that might be true,
but When you handle the Note with one hand, it is very uncomfortable to click the home button, skipping it would be awesome.
There was no appreciable drain on the galaxy nexus.
sounds interesting going to give this a try. As so for why we need it when we have a physical button? Because of its size. You don't have to reach all the way to the bottom to press the home button.

thx
I would like to have it in my Note 3 that has sview cover. I like to knock the s window to open. I don't like to touch the hard keys all the time.

I really hope Samsung implements this natively.
was hoping someone on XDA would come up with an app or something
(do I really need to flash a new Kernel for this? :/)
This would be cool, it would also extend the life of the hard keys.

I really don't understand why aren't the companies making more use of gestures on the phone...
double tap at the top of the screen to scroll to the top
double tap at the bottom to scroll to the bottom
etc
Yeah if its in a custom rom or kernel then it must be good
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
But isn't clicking the home button (1 click) more efficient than knock on (two clicks)? From what I've read about knock on on the LG g2, it's not awfully reliable as well.

double tap to wake is not equal to double tap to "move"
Well if I just give it two taps the display comes on and I can see my active display. When lg marketed the feature I thought it was neat so I double tapped my phone and viola, it works.

It's hardware dependent. Some devices have kernels that implement a wakelock for a brief amount of time that then respond to tapping. This seems useless as it's keeping your phone from sleeping and only works for a brief time after screen off.
Sent from my XT1080 using xda app-developers app
there's an app for that. I can't remember if it was the gravity app or another one. Chances are though, it would kill Active Display's precision
i prefer doube tap to lock~

Is there a way to keep other gestures on but turn off double tap to wake?

I am quickly finding that double tap to wake may be too sensitive for me. I am constantly finding my phone awake without intentionally trying to turn it on. Is there a way to either just turn off that one gesture or drop the sensitivity?
Thanks

I don't know but i need it also.
I found that the other gestures were the ones waking my phone and double tap was the only good one. Just swiping across the screen when it's off shouldn't unlock the phone. I can't stand those gestures.

Ditto for me, but it seems like an all or nothing deal. I could be wrong though, and I hope someone will eventually figure out how to disable the others, but until then I enabled a pattern lock so it'll stop getting unlocked accidentally.

I like the gestures, but I'm the same, double tap to wake is great. And the Swype gestures are good too, but I have a problem with Them. I can't even clean my screen without the phone coming on. And installing the screen protector, I had to turn it off completely.

you can Disable other Gestures in Motion and Gestures settings. . ?
other then Double Tap i always found every other gesture kind of "useless"

Does it have the "knock-on" feature from LG phones?

Hello,
Does the pixel have this feature or is it possible to obtain it?
For those that are curious what this is, you can double tap on your phone's screen and it will immediately turn on. Sames goes for turning it off. This is one of the few things I don't think I am ready to give up.
Thanks!
You can add it with a custom kernel. Honestly though, I don't miss it (still have my g4 actually), as I always use the fingerprint reader to turn on and unlock.
Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
It will be helpful sometimes. For instance when the phone is laying flat on your desk, table, whatever. You have to pick it up to hit the fingerprint scanner. Knock to wake has been promised by google in a future update.
Yes Elemental X kernel supports this. It works perfectly!

Interesting. This may become my sole reason for rooting...
You can use the Ambi-Turner app for wave to wake. Works 100% for me actually.
Elemental X kernel without root gives you swipe up to wake, and swipe on nav bar for sleep

Does it work 100% of the time or do you ever find it not responding properly? I'm especially curious to hear how well it works after the phone has been untouched for a while and Dose has kicked in.
EDIT: Just flashed EX kernel and enabled sweep to wake/sleep and have to say it's working perfectly with absolutely no lag. Very happy to have this feature on my Pixel.
