Does Knock still work with nova? The reason why I'm asking is with my girlfriend lg which is stock the knock work to turn the screen on and when at the main stock launcher screen will turn it off. I'm on Nova and knock works when turning the screen on but to turn it off it wont work i have to use the back button or enable a hold button.
I have kind of found a work though with this problem I'm having. So what i did is in Nova settings when to the Gestures and Buttons option and selected double tap. From there go to the shortcuts tab and selected the greenify option "Hibernate + Lock" and this works like a charm.
I am using nova launcher. and I am doing the same thing I go into settings buttons and gestures and then I select double tap and use secure settings plugin to lock the screen, it's just as smooth and quick as using the stock launcher.

I've noticed that the knock off feature (by double-tapping any empty space on your homescreens) is only a LG launcher feature only. I'd recommend doing what others are doing. You can still turn off the screen by double-tapping the status bar which is what I personally do!
I use Nova but you guys need to install a app called screen off and lock in the play store. Then go to Nova settings, gusters and set Double tap to that app hide it also cheers.
You don't need an app for this. Should just be able to double tap in the status bar. You can tap anywhere to wake the phone. I'm not using Nova any longer but it worked. I'm using Next Launcher.

You need Nova Prime for the knock on/off feature.
I hate to disagree but if you double tap on the task bar (which is very easy) it works just fine. Prime or the free version. I just put it on the phone to test it and it works just like before.

Yeah I just noticed that. My bad.
No biggie. I love my Next Launcher but if I couldn't knock it off I dunno if I'd still use it. First day I just happened to try it and YES!

Hey guys. I wanted to share this. I use Nova launcher so I don't have the ability to Knock Off from my home screen. I have been trying to use the knock off on the status bar and it's just never right. I always ended up clicking and opening settings, or it just didn't work. When your phone is laying on its back with the rear buttons we have sometimes you may want to turn it off without using the hardware buttons.

I have disabled the quick settings with Xposed and use power toggles instead. It's great for adding a screen lock to the status bar and also torch. I just wanted to share that set up. Screen lock works EVERY time.

If you're using nova wouldn't it be easier to install a screen off app and set double tap gesture to that app, that's what I do and it works perfectly.

Well, I already use Power Toggles. I hate the stock Quick Settings. I tried that idea but then Nova Launcher just opens another app and I still have to click something in that app. So, having a quick setting in Power Toggles is easier for me.

Just like James as stated. I use Nova Launcher Prime and didn't want to lose the Knock On/Off feature.
So I installed Screen Off And Lock:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock
Under Gestures, assign the Double Tap to this Application. You can still hide the App within the App Drawer so no one would be the wiser.
you can also set a long press action to a nav-bar icon to lock screen with G2 exposed. thats what i use rather than knockoff.
Using this one with Nova Prime gesture. I see absolutely no need to have an app bigger than 50KB for such a simple task and this one is like 20KB and does the job perfectly. Keep it tiny and simple is my moto :laugh:

Kudos to you, works perfectly and no additional battery drain
I second the "Screen Off and Lock" app from the Play Store. Assign that to the Double Tap gesture in Nova Prime. Boom. Just like stock. Quick and painless. I hide the App from the Drawer and forget all about it.
This allows you to double tap anywhere in the launcher or Status Bar to turn off the screen. Best way to do it.

I would think it would work with any launcher that supports gestures. You just set the gesture to trigger knock off.

Alright.Unfortunately i think GNow Launcher doesn't support gestures
Yea it will work with any launcher that supports double tap. I've always used Nova Prime so it was a no brainer. I used to use Double Tap for the app drawer and delete the drawer icon from the dock. I like screen off better though.

no root required Install screen off and lock then swipe up from Home button in the option list select always for screen off .double tap wakeup swipe up sleep mode perfect for me now .
Are there alternatives? I use swipe up from home/nav bar heavily for searches/Google Now.

If you used the elemental x kernel you can choose to swipe acroos the nav bar. There is also a mod in the sense toolbox (xposed module) to use hold the back button when on the homescreen to go to sleep.

If you have something like nova launcher you can use the above program to sleep your phone using knock or swipe gestures. There is also an exposed module with swipe gesture shortcuts to turn off your phone. It's sense 6 or gravitybox I can't remember. I use insertcoins tap time to sleep since I like BlinkFeed launcher and xposed seems to marginally slow down the UI

I don't notice Nova launcher has this function Before known this trick I'm using nova now migrate To it .Tqvm
Thanks for the tip! I already had this app, but did not know you can swipe up from the homescreen to lock. I relied on the widget, but its much easier to swipe up on any screen
I was just talking to my friend about this the other day since we both had galaxy s3s and the power buttons broke around the same time. Thanks for the heads up

Thank you for this! I never use Google Now myself so this is the perfect solution for me as I wanted a way to swipe to lock the phone.
Hi guys you all are welcome. We are here sharing and learning. ?
Great thnx for sharing. Been using the HTC gesture listener but the three finger thing was quite cumbersome to use. this one seems far better
Nice app! I've noticed that you can now double tap to unlock even if you didn't pick up the phone first and it's already in your hand. Also if the phone is sitting on your desk you don't have to pick it up to unlock anymore......just double tap. Very nice indeed.
I'm really tired of swiping down from the top edge of my huge phone every time I have to check notifications.
Is there a way (most probably via an app) to swipe down from anywhere on the screen (in my case near the bottom- where my hands and fingers rest by default, Google) to pull down the notification pane?
TIA

That's exactly what I do. You can assign all sorts of gestures, in fact. I swipe up, it goes to Settings, 2 fingers down to go to apps, etc. Nova Prime is awesome.
Yes!

You need GMD Gesture Control(Root) for it

Just moved over from Mate 10 to View 10 and I can't locate the lock screen icon that was on the Mate 10. As the fingerprint sensor on both doesn't lock the screen, I used the icon on Mate 10 but it doesn't appear on View 10 that I can locate. Anyone found it or using it? Thanks.
Why don't you simply tap the power button on the side to lock the screen?
I'd prefer to do it from screen like before, personal preference.

I don't think that the Honor View 10 has that feature. Maybe there is an App for that.
I've found it. Am using Nova so going back to EMUI and see it in the widget shortcuts (beneath TORCH), enabled in the EMUI and switched back to Nova then chose it but it doesn't work, saying "App isn't installed". Any thoughts?

This icon? I guess it only works in stock launcher
That's it. It definitely worked on the Mate 10 with Nova.
A workaround is to use the Gestures and Inputs of Nova and change the home button function to Screen lock. It seems to be working well so far. Touch once takes back to home screen, then when there, touch again from there locks screen, and it reopens with swiping fingerprint as normal.

Screen off with Nova works fine on Android 11. (without biometrics)
Just make right selection via Nova.

I'm using Nova Prime.( Android 11)
As Samsung, double tap to sleep, is not working
in Nova Prime...?
But in Samsung launcher Ui, Samsung double tap to sleep, works fine.
I then otherwise, have in Nova Prime settings, set Nova, double tap to sleep and and selected the Nova option Accessibility setting and not Admin one.
See screenshot.
Nova double tap.... screen off works fine, for me.
With screen off, i use Samsung double tap to wake,
i either get options that phone is already unlocked
with Smart unlock or otherwise when my Bluetooth is off( re Smart lock connection) a option to unlock with biometrics( fingerprints) or otherwise, my face unlock option works automatically and unlocks phone.
Good luck
