Just a request for slide2wake/sweep2sleep capabilities in a kernel?
Personally I liked that more than dt2w. I understand that LG introduced double tap 2 wake, and then everyone jumped on that ship, but what's wrong with the old slide2wake/sweep2sleep gestures? Just fumbling with your phone, its very easy to touch the screen twice by accident and wake the phone up.

It's very plausible for this device, I think. The space between the three off-screen buttons is all touch sensitive. To test it out, enable double tap to wake, and tap in-between the buttons, not on them. The phone will still turn on.

Yes, I would love to see this. Coming from a HTC One X, the feature was great. I really missed this feature.
I'm coming from a Nexus 5 with Elemental X's kernel and I'm surprised the Oneplus One doesn't have simple swipe gestures and the sweep to sleep across the onscreen nav bar gesture

The new m8 just got root, and I'd like to see if anyone could fix the issue i have with the hardware key placement. Specifically, the position of the power button annoys me quite a bit. On the old One it was at least accessible through your index finger, but the m8 must have been designed by lefties!
I'm looking for a module that would swap the function of the power key with the vol+ key to see if that will fix my little hangup with this phone. No pun intended.
Thanks!

I'm surprised this isn't a bigger complaint amongst m8 users. Well, if anyone finds anything, please let me know! Thanks!

I'm also not a fan of the power button being switched. At least we can double tap the screen to unlock. Cuts down the usage a bit.

Agreed, but it doesn't help when wanting to lock it quickly with one hand after the phone has already been unlocked. I'm more interested in that function than waking it. But glad to see I'm not alone in this.

I use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock in tandem with Nova Launcher and just assign a gesture to it which in turn will turn the screen off and lock. Works great.
I just use gmd gesture control to do a three finger downward swipe to shut the device off.

For my purposes, I'm trying to find a one-handed solution. So 3 fingers is no help when the phone is in-hand. But thanks for sharing your idea!

What I did was use gravitybox > navigation key actions and then set back key long press to go to sleep. Works perfect but I am left handed so you might want a different key.

This is how I do it. Just a single finger swipe upwards shuts my screen off, then a double tap turns it back on. Works great for me!
Now if only someone could figure out how to get double tap (to wake) working in landscape mode.
Hey guys -- I just posted a fresh thread for this, but since I assume you all have weaksauce+xposed working...
After my soft-reboot to install xposed, wifi would not turn on. Did anyone else have anything similar happen?
I did weaksauce, phone off/on, install xposed, full reboot (accidentally), enable xposed, soft reboot, then no wifi when the phone came back up.
Any ideas?
According to a tweet from HTC (https://twitter.com/htc/status/461511570959663104), you're supposed to be able to double tap the screen while it is sleeping in order to wake the device.
This doesn't work for me unless I do it really hard or have it in my hand. Anyone have the same experience? Any setting I need to change? Maybe it's my ROM? (Skyfall)
Are you using enough of your finger to tap it?
On mine I have to almost tap it with the full pad of the end of my finger. I can't just double-tap with the tip of my finger.
Yeah, that's never worked for me either. It seems like the sensor only gets activated once I pick it up.
Yeah someone in marketing was misinformed. Unless you're using a custom kernel, you need to move the device first to get it to wake from a tap or swipe
Thanks for the feedback. I ask because someone tweeted @ me: "Bring your unit back to the carrier you purchased it from. It's worked fine for us with no issue at all."
For me, I tap the screen once and then double tap it right after. Seems to do the job.

Settings, display and gestures, g sensor calibration. Calibrate it poorly intentionally slanted against a book or whatnot. It thinks your device is tilted when it is laying down.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
well really its like this ==> Settings/Display & gestures/Motion Launch Gestures/HELP =(look (close its really there =] ) and then under Double tap it reads "Pick up the phone in portrait orientation and double tap to wake " but if I really double tap mine while its laying flatly screen up with some force it wakes just make sure you really give it good tapping.
Other than that test to see if picking it first portrait orientation and give it a few taps and see if it wakes.
I just saw the post above mine that is a great answer/work around. I like that kind of thinking.

I was going to reply with this exact method until I saw that you did so.
This works, and resolves the issue completely. now a light double tap even turns on the screen while it is laying flat.
It's a pretty simple concept. Unlike the LG G2, this phone came with some more smarts to save battery. The G2 device is ALWAYS active to receive phone taps, thus using more battery. The M8 device only once the phone is in motion it turns on the sensor to recieve any kind of double tap, thus saving battery! Pretty nice IMO and smart. Motion control window says itself you need to pick up device then double tap to activate.
For people who want to bypass this you can:
A. Tap the phone hard while on a desk thus causing the phone to move around waking up the motion sensor to activate double tap.
B. Give the G Sensor setting a bad setting so when device is laid flat on a surface the phone thinks it's not flat thus activating the double tap feature all the time thus using more battery.
So either love the feature for what it is or don't and us more battery.
The M8 double-tap to wake requires you to pick up the phone. The double-tap motion is not enough. If you double tap it while flat on a table it may work but usually it does not or very inconsistent.. Lift it and it will always work.
What's happening is when you move or pick up the phone the proximity sensor is activated, allowing the double-tap function to work, but after a few seconds of leaving it on the table, the sensor will shut off until it is disturbed again.

Not quite. Pick it up upside down and tap - nothing will happen. Double tap to wake works only right side up in portrait - which makes a lot of Sense.
You don't want anything to wake it when it's upside down in your pocket, right?

Interesting!
Actually I notice what's also keeping the double-tap function to work is the light senor, regardless the phone's position.
The sensor is located left of the front camera; try covering it up and see if you can double-tap to wake your phone

Just tried it: Yes I can
No.. You definitely can't. Either you're not covering the sensor or you're not using a Verizon m8.
Confirmed.. Cover sensor, DT2W doesn't work.

Hey how are things ?
No idea if supported on this device but wouldn't Swipe to Wake (Up) be better solution to Double Tap?
PS Need you over on Nexus 6P.

Hey there. Long time no see. Wish i could afford the 6P... And i love the M8. Should be good for another year.
I am running the GPE Rom, and love that I can double tap the screen to turn it on. However, I never use the slide to turn screen on feature, and it always turns it on in my hand randomly on in my pocket. Anyone know of any miss or apps to keep the double tap, but remove the slide motion launch feature? Thanks
I don't have a direct answer but are you sure it's waking up in you pocket via slide to wake? It would think it far more likely to pocket double tap then to pocket slide if that makes sense. I've avoided dt2w for that reason alone.

Try putting it in your pocket TOP DOWN. The slide to turn on goes from the bottom up, so if you're dropping it in your pocket bottom down the screen "may" read the friction as a slide up and open the screen before it hits the bottom of your pocket!
here's a small thing I have seen on many phones that have come out in the past year or so that I was taking for granted would exist on the s7, double tapping on the screen to wake it and view your notifications.
its one of the smallest, yet most useful (I feel), little tricks that will save tons of time.
I was hoping it'd be in the "experimental" features the galaxy labs have to offer but nada.
any ideas about getting it on there and/or a way to feed this back to samsung while they still have time to implement this?
re:
"double tapping on the screen to wake it and view your notifications."
Hi
since 7.0 : you can directly go to any of the lock screen, - shown by : AOD - notifications, by clicking on any.
but if AOD is disabled, than there is no way to see them, SO a Xperia z3 like double tap to wake would be appricated

Its on other devices as well. Samsung doesn't really have it because they have physical button where others don't. But yeah, they all should have it
having physical button solves screen turn on comfortability so, why we need double tap? it's additional drain for battery

Seriously:laugh: I said less than 1% to not say 0% and for me, Double Tap is way more convenient than having to press a home button. And u could always turn double tap feature off if u don't like it, i.e, if there was ever a double tap feature!
A 'touch fingerprint button' to wake up & unlock the screen like other Androids would also be great.

being s7's button physical, it's not able to unlock device from deep sleep, at least samsung won't include it if it's even possible and having 2tap2wake will be nonsense at this point... well i dont say it's bad feature, but i just try to explain that Sammy won't include it until we got rear mounted half-physical sensor
The KnockOn feature that LG has would never be nonsense on any phone. It is more convenient than waking with the home button. With the button you have to push a button in a specific place on the phone. With KnockOn you quickly double tap anywhere on the screen.

I love LG's double tap unlock, it is most useful especially during one hand operation with these humongous 5.5in phones. It eliminates fear of dropping phone trying to reach home or power button with 1hand.
Hey guys, I recently took the update to the latest (and last) Android O beta and I've noticed that now I have to unlock my phone twice everytime to get into it. I use double tap to unlock my phone. On 7.1.2, I could double tap, then immediately swipe to be in the phone. Now when I double tap it just displays the time. I have to double tap again, then swipe to unlock it.
I feel like this is something simple that I'm missing in the settings to disable. I've played with the Display settings and haven't been able to figure it out.
Anybody know what I'm missing?

I use the finger print reader to unlock but mine worked as expected. Double-tap turned on the screen and my finger unlocked it. Now, it took three double-taps to wake the phone but that's a different conversation. [emoji52]

The 2 double taps being required is normal behavior sadly. I've seen no option to change this either. It's most likely to prevent accidental wakeups and so you don't fully wake your screen unintentionally when just looking at a notification to save power. :silly:

Normal for Android O? I didn't have to do that with M.
The power button only requires a single swipe and the finger scanner unlocks directly to the home screen. I lock and unlock my phone all day (at work). Usually it's on my desk, propped up with a kickstand case so double tapping is easiest for me. This is driving me crazy.

It drives me a bit nuts too but I'm pretty sure it's part of the new ambient display which is less useful than before, it hides the notifications as little dots after it initially goes away..
Sent from my Pixel using XDA Labs
I believe that since google will be copying other guy having always on display,. This is the reason why the are doing this.
Always on display will be one of the pixel 2 main feature. They are probably testing to see how it works has a ambient notification. I like nougat notification better.
Yea, I'm not that impressed with O so far. Even if I turn off ambient, I still have to double tap twice. Good thing my bootloader is unlocked. I'll flash the patch for this the day someone releases it.
