I read that CM7 will supposedly let you turn off the button lights (back, menu, search, and home), but is there a way to turn them off without it? Thanks.
Are you using a custom kernel with backlight notifications? Or do you just want the lights off all the time? If you are using a custom kernel with BLN you can use BLN Control from the market to disable backlight notifications.
I'm using it stock and want the 4 cap. button lights to turn off after a few seconds so I can watch videos in the dark (or have an app that I start that turns off the lights before I watch a movie).
Does BLN also disable capacitivte button lights (not just backlight notifications)? Are there other non custom rom solutions?
Backlight dimmer (BLD), one of Ezekeel's mods does this. It disables the capacitive buttons after x amount of time (variable you can set freely). But you need a custom kernel for this to work, not a custom rom. Check the developer section, most new kernel versions support BLD. Then, you can download NSTools from the market to set and configure the functionality.
BLN is only for notifications and blinking normally so it's not what you're looking for.

Awesome, that's actually even better. One question though, once the buttons/lights are disabled how are they re-enabled? Simply touching the screen? Thanks.
nope they'll stay off if you touch the screen. you have to touch the buttons themselves to get them to relight

Oh ok, perfect. thanks
Can someone point me to the correct file to download here for installing BLD:

As a clarification, the feature is not available on 7.1.0.1 but only in the nightly later nightly builds. However, if you're running the stable mod, a workaround is to use Spark Mod Manager.
I wanted to have a similar experience to LG g2, and now thank's to bricked kernel we have the kernel based feature of double tap to wake. But I can't understand how to enable double tap to sleep. Since it's not kernel related (I suppose) it would be easy to enable?:silly:

I've looked everywhere for an answer to this, but so far to no avail. Is there a way to manually disable this Knock On feature included in the stock software? I'm running CyanogenMod 11 nightlies and it causes my phone to crash 50% of the time and gets annoying after a while. I looked through all the system files on the phone and can't even find a pointer. Be as complicated as you want with your answer. Thanks.
P.S. This is not a new problem with CM11. Did this with 10.2 as well.
On the stock software its easy !! Go to configurations > general > gesture > on/off screen (its the first option) !!
Hope i could help:good:

If your still trying to figure it out i found it after about 3 hours of searching its located in settings under display and lights just uncheck "double tap to wake"
Disable Knock on / Knock Off
Go to settings, device, display and lights, and uncheck double tap to wake. Then settings , personalization, Interface, Status bar, and uncheck double tap to sleep..
Worked for me.. Hope this helps
Thank you!
Is there a way to disable knock on during calls only? My face keeps unlocking my phone and apps are opened or settings changed. It's annoying.
Found a FIX disable Tap 2 Wake/ Knock code
Hi all, I have a LG F220K (LG Optimus GK). :silly:
And I'm running a modified version of LG G2 CM11 (currently on M6) on my mobile.
After flashing CM11 ROM I figured that the option to deactivate the Tap to wake/ Knock code feature is not available in the Settings menu itself.
The Tap wake function is something I hate as it turns on display and press buttons during calls, so somehow I was lost with all the forums having only questions yet no answers...
This is How I sorted it!!! (Sorry, I am not allowed to post images or links as a newbie)
1. Please install Kernel Tweaker from the play market (It's free).
2. Open the Kernel Tweaker, access the main menu of the app by tapping the top left hand corner.
3. Browse through to Kernel (Under Kernel Params) tap open.
4. You will see that it has two options Under Kernel Tweaks "Double Tap 2 wake" and "Sweep 2 Wake", there will be two ticked boxes.
5. Untick both boxes and exit!!!
Now you can tap on screen like no tomorrow but Tap to Wake/ Knock code is no more... :highfive:
A THANK wouldn't hurt!!!

I 'm looking for that answer too..
Me as well! I hate Knock-On as it always turns on the screen in my pocket.
I tried Kernel Tweaker but there arent any options under Kernel Tweaks for me to choose from. Im running C-Rom 7.1 which is CM based I believe.
Is there an .apk or sys file I can disable? What kind of file and what is the name of the file/code that is responsible for Knock-On?

You can probably try with "G2 Tweaksbox", it uses the xposed framework and has many tweaks available... hope this helps

I hate every vibration. Some apps use the vibration as haptic feedback or they give me notification with vibration even if it's disabled from settings. Is there a simple way to disable EVERY vibration? For example an app (obviously with root permissions) or an Xposed Module. An 'extreme' solution would be to operate at kernel level or to physically disconnect the vibration motor!
Thank you in advance, I've got a rooted Nexus 5 running stock Android 4.4.3 and Franco kernel.

Franco kernel has a feature to adjust the vibration level. Use 0 and vibrations will disappear I think.

Download FKU app from Google Play. There's a built in option.
Root your phone (if not done yet) -> flash franco kernel-> install francokernel updater from the playstore -> set vibrations amp to 0 (in Kernel Settings). Done!

Thank you guys! I'm new with this kernel and I didn't know the premium version of franco.kernel updater is full of features! I happily bought this app to thank Franco for his work and now... nothing vibrates!

Why not just disable vibration through settings. Much simpler. Nothing against FKU, as I have it, but it seems like overkill.

I've always kept vibration disabled in the Android settings, but some apps keep sending me notification with vibration and these apps don't let me customize their notification type (sound and vibrate). Other apps use vibration as their own haptic feedback. All these vibrations don't depend by Android system (and so by Android settings).
For example, Hangouts vibrates, but it has an option to deactivate that behaviour. Clash of Clans keeps vibrating on notifications. A lot of launchers vibrate when moving some elements. I just don't want that feature at all!

Well in that case I completely understand! That sounds insanely annoying.
Hi guys.
I'm one of those who do not have lockscreens in my phones.
Also, I love the double tap to unlock feature. Been using it on my G2, G3, OnePlus3T.
This feature on the Pixel only works if you have a lockscreen. This is more like a "double tap to lockscreen" rather than "double tap to wake".
Is there a way around this?
Now I know there are apps that do this, but they are not managed by the kernel, are unstable and drain more batt than they should. I'm hoping a dev can look into this
Cheers!

I agree with every single thing you wrote. I don't like to lock my phones either, but like to have the raise-to-wake feature. I happen to like Gravity Screen, but as you found, it does eat battery to set it up the exact way I want (use motion instead of proximity). So this is what I do. Establish a lock method so tap-to-wake or raise-to-wake works. Then turn around and create smart lock situations to bypass that lock. For example, I establish smart lock by locations, and by Bluetooth connections. Since I always wear a smart watch of some kind, it leaves my phones unlocked, but tap-to-wake still works.
I tried to get the double tap only to work as well but I failed. I don’t need to lock my phone either. Coming from BB10 where all I had to do was swipe up to unlock my phone man that was great. A slight swipe would show the lock screen a full swipe gesture would unlock the phone. None of this involves touching the power button I am simply talking about picking the phone up and swiping without hitting the power. BB10 was awesome it really was great but I think the lack of apps didn’t allow it to shine.
The finger print to unlock is pretty quick and easy but if your phone is position in a way that your not going to unlock it with your finger you have to use a pin or pattern to unlock.

Thanks for you replies, guys.
I didn't find the trusted devices method that reliable for some reason. I do have a smartwatch I use for work, but not for leisure, so I will not have a consistent experience unlocking the device. Also, this only work if it's secure (other than swipe).
So in order to use the T2W feature, you might as well have at least a simple swipe lockscreen.
Also, I tried something else last night. Elemental X kernel. It has T2W built in and works pretty alright. It is more sensitive (original implementations require you to tap with a little force) and 2 gentle touches is all that's required to unlock. Does not consume a lot of battery.
I may check out Gravity screen as well, to prevent accidental unlocks when it is upside-down (in my pocket) and that should do it.
And yea, I was also trying out Tasker, automating "swipe up" when I wake up the device. Didn't go too well. In case you guys wanna tinker with it, lemme know if you get it to work

The really nice thing about Gravity Screen is that it puts you back where you left it, not the lock screen.

I would be interested in implementing a Tasker profile to do this. I'll let you know if I get anything good.
I finally turned it off. Fingerprint scanner doesn't work even though the scroll up and down still does so I'll live.
Not sure if it would work, but what if you disabled double tap in the rom, disable lock screen in the rom and flash Elemental kernel and enable double tap with it?

Instead of flashing that kernel, flar2 also created a stand-alone app called Wake Gestures to accomplish just that. The app can be downloaded from his signature line.

I'm not familiar with the app. Does it drain battery like some of the others that people have mentioned in this thread. I really like Elemental in that I can also enable sweep2sleep. I've actually been using the stock DT2W and Elemental just for the sleep function.
I keep my phone propped on my desk at work and can quickly lock and unlock it as needed.

The app is created by flar2, the creator of ElementalX, so I don't believe it would be any different than his kernel. I use it and I do not experience drain. One additional feature the app has is the extra protection of accidental pocket turn-ons.
