I saw other people saying that they can double tap on a lockscreen notification to jump into that app in Marshmallow, but my lockscreen behaves the same after getting the Marshmallow update. Is this the case for everyone else?
Doesn't work for me. No double tap on the S7 Edge

Thanks for testing it out. I've asked about double tapping on lockscreen notifications on Marshmallow Note 5 and I swear someone said it'll take you into the app. It's really dumb Samsung disabled this function, I loved it on the Nexus 6P.
Np, I was a little disappointed as well. I guess it does save battery life since it only displays and doesn't have to "feel" for your fingers.
Plus it is always on and doesn't pulse like the Moto feature.

Try just tapping on a notification once, it'll become non-transparent, then doing the normal swipe unlock....that should do what you are looking for. I hope I didn't misunderstand what you were looking for.

Yes, the end result of getting into the app from a lockscreen notification is what I want, but on the Nexus phones running vanilla Marshmallow, you can just double tap on the notification (no need to tap, swipe, just double tap) and it'll take you straight into the app. It's more intuitive and user friendly. I wonder why Samsung decided to keep the weird system from Android 5.
It works with Good Lock installed...just double tap. Good Lock is getting better and better too, worth a look!

FYI, this works on the international version of the Note 5 (and S7/S7 edge).

I had the same experience with PIE. I never use it because I can't see my notifications when I turn my screen on quickly and turn it off, but Halo might solve that problem. However, I do have issues with PIE because it gives me issues with things at the very bottom of my screen like the space key. Sometimes I hit the key and it activates PIE instead of space (or whatever else I have down there are the moment).

Yes, but it creates the same issue for me. If I want to swipe the screen from right to left in an app it pulls out pie.
It's a minor issue and one I would surely get used to if I used it more, but it has still kept me from using it.
been impatiently waiting for this feature. hopefully it gets ported over to our build with the quickness. it looks great.

Me either, it makes a lot of sense on phones with on-screen softkeys, like the Nexus, but on a phone with dedicated hardware buttons like the GS3, it's totally unnecessary.

Ive always used pie or the navigation bar.
I hate using the buttons.
Pie is useful for shortcuts to activities or apps you use often.
Example: I may want to look at the weather or messaging app, or maybe even battery stats. But I'm in the middle of a different app. No need to close it and find the app on my home screen. I can just use pie.

I like the idea of HALO, but I haven't found a ROM yet where the blacklist function works as advertised. I'd like to have HALO not show me Tasker or Clipper (my clipboard manger), and blacklisting and whitelisting never work.
On the PIE tangent, it's nice to be able to do things like sticking in a shortcut to a Tasker task to the app drawer, so you can get to your app drawer without having to go to the home screen first. Having 2 rows available as in some ROMs gives lots of quick options.
waitting for the apk
I love the lmt launcher I hope they make halo a apk file so I can install it like lmt on my moar ROM

just personal preference. I just dont like using the buttons. once you get teh gestures down its quick and responsive. it also adds some real estate to the screen over the nav bar. that with halo allows for full screen use which i like.
you can turn it off in every rom ive ever used.

It doesn't get rid of it off the lock screen. Just doesn't tell me who it is, which is even more annoying

yea, i dont like the new ls either... i prefer the aosp one...
Use the message center lock screen widget. Its a single communication screen for all messages. Does that help?
Guys the problem is this - when you enable ""Preview Message" it enables it on the lockscreen, which is nice I guess, whatever. But, this also enables you to see who sent the message in the notification shade.
Now, when you turn it OFF it still shows it in the lockscreen AND the notification shade but doesn't tell you who it is.
The big issue with this is, if you have a lock-pattern or other security turned on WITH "Preview Message" turned on, then anyone can see the contents of the SMS on the lockscreen - BAD SECURITY. On AOSP, this did not behave in this manner. On AOSP you would receive the notification, but that's all I need to see "Hey I have an sms!" - I don't need to preview this if I have enabled security on my phone for the very reason of keeping prying eyes off my phone.

im running apex launcher pro and rooted but even when i enable all the options , i get no notifications on my lockscreen , does it work with apex or only tw ?
I hate this lock screen too! It's so frustrating because I have long fingers, and I very often hit the clock when trying to swipe which just "grabs" the clock instead of unlocking the phone..
I am completely missing the point of widgets on your lock screen. I don't want them at all and I want to turn them off, but that's not an option. Why?? I want the screen to unlock whether I swipe the clock or a blank part of the screen!
Opening messages directly from the lock screen now is also a chore. Who thought to themselves that sliding a puzzle piece across the screen (or dragging your finger across an icon) to look at a message was too hard, and then came up with the current implementation? Click the message, then swipe your finger in a very specific part of the screen. Because that's intuitive.
We can have many home pages that have all of the widgets and icons we want on them. Why do we need an extra layer of them on our lock screens? If the lock screen weren't cumbersome to use, then shortcuts on the lock screen wouldn't be necessary because they wouldn't be saving any time.
The way the lock screen works really irritates me, and I honestly thought about just keeping my GS III because of it (and a couple of other things that are OT).
As cheesy as the slider lock screen on the iPhone is, one thing I really like about it is the ability to open the camera app directly without having to input my (corporate IT mandated) PIN to use it. That extra second or two wasted putting in my PIN on the S4 could mean I might miss a neat shot. It needs some tweaking, for sure.

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?

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.

I'm not quite sure I understand. When I try to bypass my lockscreen with any other fingers then I have setup in the fingerprint settings it will not unlock and prompts me to enter a backup password. So I'm not sure if they have fixed thas issue but lockscreen fingerprint login and last pass fingerprint login seem to be working fine for me.
