Using Nova Launcher gesture feature. For'Swipe Down' to expand notifications accessibility permission has to be enabled in S7. But if enabled Nova takes up almost 200 MB of RAM that led to device freezing(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1UChZaaw58). If not enabled just 50MB(75MB max) is the RAM usage. In the case of AOSP ROMs there is no need of even enabling accessibility permission for Nova. Is there any work around in TouchWiz to achieve 'Swipe Down' to expand notifications without enabling accessibility permissions?

Just turn it off and pull down from the top still works.
All that accessibility is for is so you can swipe down/up any where on the screen.

That I know. I needed the gesture feature to work so that to avoid reaching all the way to top. So there is no work around?

Nope wish there were.
Also i wish the double tap to sleep worked better too. If you use it along with fingerprint, everytime you double tap to sleep the phone, on the subsequent log in into the phone, it requires you to enter you pin which defeats the purpose of using fingerprint

Setting any screen off app to double tap gesture is all you need. Fingerprint works fine for me.

What app are you using for that? When I use the built in Nova Gesture it will lock the phone but next unlock requires a pin. Are you using a different app to control it?
I emailed Nova support and they confirmed it is an issue with Android M and they are hoping there will be an update for it.

I've tried with both the nova launcher functionality (built into Nova) and with the app you mentioned https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock
I reached out to nova regarding theirs and like I mentioned - they said it's an issue in Android. Looked at the reviews for Screen off and Lock and there are others that are on Android M(Nexus 6P) that are having the same issue as well

just had a person who has international S7 here in the US try and it works for them.
only conclusion is that it is something having to to with the OS for the US variant or having to do with Samsung Pay. Seriously doubt it's an issue between the 2 chipsets

My swipe down works fine, but the double tap to turn off doesnt... you win some you lose some i guess.
I have Nova's double tap gesture set to "Screen Lock" and it works fine. I DO NOT have to enter my pin on the next wake, using fingerprint.
Edit: G930V
I had the same problem with nova double tap to lock. Screen off also didn't work for me. The only workaround for me is Screen lock pro, also in the settings you have to enable Smart lock and nexus imprint and works flawless.

That really shouldn't work, when you double tap you get a prompt for device admin privileges and it states "this is a full secure lock that requires pin/patten to unlock even if using fingerprint scanner". Not sure how its working on some phones, unless you're rooted?

Installing Nine email for Exchange and removing the Exchange account from the phone makes Smart Lock start working again.
I do have exchange but do not have a pin lock requirement. When home, I often set lock screen to none, and use a pattern lock when I go out as a matter of habit. With pin lock requirement turned on, I would not be able to use pattern lock or set lock screen to none.

Yep. You're right. That wouldn't cause an issue.
I have also heard of folks who had to set 3 or 4 trusted places around their home for it to work. Say, your house, neighbor on the left, neighbor on the right...etc.
Hmmm... today at work, it actually worked. Once. it took me a while to figure out why and perhaps why it doesn't work most of the time.
If I let my phone time out, or use the power button to turn off the screen, it appears to work..
But if I use the button (app called screen off) that turns off the screen immediately and locks the phone it doesn't then work when I turn the phone back on.
I use the screen off button all the time as it is much easier than reaching around for the power button and I like to turn off the screen before I put it in my pocket or even put it down since it is less difficult to mess something or activate something when handling the device.
Now that I know what is going on... I can possibly talk to the developer about it to see if there is a "fix". Or just hitting the power button instead.
Note I typically hold the phone in my left hand and my fingers are lower on the device to balance it better.
Damn. I forgot Greenify does the same thing. Glad you finally figured it out.
When it worked the first time I wasn't sure what was happening as I had never seen it work before. It wasn't until I got a desk phone call and it timed out on it own and did it again, that I made the connection. I actually forgot it was still setup.

Ah! So that's why it's not working most of the time! Did you ever get a fix or workaround for the screen off app? I have the screen off button on the bottom left of all my home screens because it's so much more convenient than the power button, but I'm tired of doing the damn fingerprint all the time at trusted locations.
Easy Lock
Double tap status bar/nav bar/lockscreen/notification shade to quickly put your device to sleep!
Double-tapping status bar does NOT work in Android 8 and above. Only double tap anywhere or double tap homescreen will work due to changes in system APIs.

Reduce the wear and tear of power button
Also has the option of double tapping anywhere/double tapping homescreen to lock.

Downloads
Version 1.3: http://bit.ly/2oDv77H (Please uninstall the previous version first)
All features of the app are available for free, without any ads. (The in-app purchase inside the app will not work as the app has been removed from play store)
Please do not mirror without permission. Link to this thread or play store page if you want to share this app elsewhere. So that users will know where to check for updates and get support from.
Please note: Hopefully it won't come to this, but just in case, to uninstall the app, you'll have to deactivate device admin permission first (Settings -> Security -> Device Admin -> Easy Lock).[/SIZE]

Permissions explained
Admin permission is required to turn of the screen and put the phone to sleep
Lollipop smart lock is not supported by Device Admin. It's an Android system limitation. However, smart lock is supported by Easy Lock if you have root access. If you see a prompt for root access, this is what that's for.
Draw over other apps permission is required to detect double taps.
App Usage Statistics (in Lollipop and above) is required if you enable the option 'Try to avoid soft key presses'. This permission will be requested only if you enable this option.

Update v1.1
Added option to avoid lock screen touches
Minor bug fixes
Update is currently rolling out in Google Play.
Update to Easy Lock
v1.3
- Fixed a bug which causes the app to request admin permissions even when it was already granted.
Update is available in Google Play Store.
I had added an option to enable double-tap anywhere to lock the screen. I'm sure it'll be a nuisance for most people, since it'll get activated while typing, double tap to zoom photos etc, but there were some requests for it. However, that update was rejected by Play Store. Hence I've disabled that feature in the play store version of the app. If anyone is interested in the above mentioned feature, I can upload an apk having double tap anywhere to lock functionality.
Not available in Google play, can u please give me the download link, i love this app

Amazing work!
I've traditionally always rooted my android devices, but with marshmallow I'm trying to keep them stock for the security/stability benefits. My new Huawei Honor 8 didn't have a double tap to sleep feature built in, and with no root I couldn't use gravitybox to get it. I also couldn't find anything satisfactory in the app store, as I just wanted something that would make the device sleep, but not wake up (my phone wakes up by itself as soon as you touch the fingerprint scanner). The V1.2 of this app works perfectly! I lowered the double tap to 150ms, which seems to be about as fast as I can comfortably double tap the status bar/nav bar, but is faster than I would normally mash the back button, removing the need for ignoring the nav buttons. Plus it seems to take no more than 40mb of ram, with it averaging more about 25mb, which is great. Luckily for me, Huawei's EMUI implementation of android prevents your app from interfering with the fingerprint scanner, even without root. I tested your app on my galaxy tab s2 (also running android 6.0.1) and as expected, using it to sleep the device interfered with the fingerprint scanner, but not so on this great little Huawei device (I just had it on my tablet for testing, it already turns itself on/off with its flip cover). I can understand why Google removed it from the play store (at anything over 250ms it's easily to accidentally trigger with the back button) but I'm glad I found it. I've never actually had a button wear out or break on me because I upgrade phones too often, but it still feels nice to be able to turn my phone on and off without any buttons. Great work!
Edit: it's really too bad that the donate button doesn't work. Do you have any other apps in the play store that I could buy/donate to support you?
Wow, thanks for the app! Working great on my S7 edge (unrooted).
Just tried it on my pixel xl works great but the only gripe I have is that when it locks the phone I can't use my fingerprint reader to open it after which is making me not use it anymore because it's so much faster to use the fingerprint scanner. If that's fixed I'll definitely be using it.
Thanks

@aravindsagar Hi, I have the same problem on my Z5 Compact. When I double tap the status bar, the phone locks.
But when I wake it up, if I use my fingerprint to unlock, I also have my patern (or pin, or password, whatever security is set) → Double security instead of one.
I only encounter this issue while using your app. If Easy Lock is disabled, I can unlock my phone just with my fingerprint.
Is their a way to fix this issue? (or an alternative to double tap status bar to lock?)
Thanks

Bump on this. Love it but need to be able to unlock with fingerprint sensor.
Other apps get around this by simply turning the screen off. Works great with amoled. Not sure how easy that is to implement.
I would donate for this if it would implement the method to lock the screen with root instead of using Admin (so, as mentioned in previous posts above, I could use the fingerprint reader to unlock afterwards). The shell command "input keyevent 26" does this as long as it's done with superuser access. I have a QuickTile through the Automate script app do exactly that currently, but I'd prefer to be able to double-tap the status bar instead of using a prime Quick Tile space.
This is horrible and will never replace the custom ROM feature. I can't use my fingerprint and I can't even enter my password without it locking again. It also locks when I double tap a softkey (even with the option to prevent against it).
If use device administrator, open lock cant using fingerprint, btw good app.. i search tap to sleep app that can using fingerprint to wake/unlock..
Arrow launcher has this. Always work.
Trying the Lawnchair (Pixel) launcher which lacks this feature. Only works on status bar. Users of this launcher want this!
(All permissions set up. MIUI device.)
Just a note, Arrow launcher has double tap anywhere to sleep, not double tap status bar, and it also has to be set to be a device Admin, so again the fingerprint reader is rendered useless. Not knocking Arrow Launcher, just wanted to specify in case others with fingerprint readers are tempted to try it for this purpose.
Is any option double tap to wake the device ?
When I use the Nova double tap gesture to lock the screen (using Greenify, Screen Off and Lock or Screen Off), I have to type in my pin to open the phone (it won't let me only use the fingerprint scanner). When I shut off the screen via the power button the fingerprint scanner is all that's needed . Do you guys know of a work around to use DT2S while being able to still use the fingerprint scanner to reawaken the phone?

So I had the same thing. Its actually greenify. Took me a while to figure it out because i was in the same boat. Uninstall that and try the built in app control. I'll still throw down between 5-6 hours screen time without greenify
I use the same exact setup and my fingerprint scanner works perfect.

It says when you use this why it does it, you'll need root to get around this issue and enable root mode in Nova Settings.
that doesn't make any sense. mine works completely fine by doing this. I never turn it off using the power button and I always unlock it with the scanner.

I tried it again with Greenify and the other double tap to lock apps uninstalled and set Nova to use its own lock device setting yet I still have to enter my pin when turning on the screen using the fingerprint scanner. It's bizarre.

I have the same problem. Galaxy S7 + Greenify or Screen OFF, every time I have to enter the PIN too. It is very annoying. I hate to use the side button to shut off the screen, I need one of these apps to work properly with the fingerprint scanner.
same here, have to use the pattern after Nova's double tap lock.
I think the issue shows up if you are also using Smart Lock. I installed Screen Lock Pro and use it in the Nova gestures for double tap and it works great.

Correct. There is an option you need to select that I should have mentioned. Smart lock and Nexus imprint must be selected and then it will work. You do need the pro version.

Thanks for your time and bye for now.
I tried it and had even more battery drain than I already do with Android System. Android System was #1, System UI was #2. I usually have 3-5 hours of screen time (with a charge half way through the day), so there's no reason anything should be above Screen in the battery usage list.

I also didn't notice any slow down. Only thing that bothers me a lot is that eveytime I reboot or I try to make some changes the App uninstall himself. Everything else looks really nice.

I believe the uninstall bug was addressed and fixed in the newest update. I just glanced over the patch notes so not 100% sure.

I tried it and had even more battery drain than I already do with Android System. Android System was #1, System UI was #2. I usually have 3-5 hours of screen time (with a charge half way through the day), so there's no reason anything should be above Screen in the battery usage list.

Not to mentioned the very strange multitasking menu that makes the experience intolerable. I'm hoping they just give people the stock Android notification shade independent of the app.

Oh yes, there is plenty of UI slowdown and almost a 1% per minute battery drain, in addition to the side-effect of turning my phone into a fine pocket warmer.
The app itself is a good alternative. But there are some serious issues that may be addressed by fixing memory leaks and clearing some cache data. But I am un-rooted and plan on staying that way for a bit

Something's wrong with your phone. I have nothing like that. Neither do the many other users of this app. SystemUI has used 2% of my battery over the last 3 days.

Why with this enabled, when I press power button off then back on, screen doesn't lock. Does it only engage after x amount of time? I just have default set.

Please WRITE them about the performance and battery issues. I already did. They listen to our feedback. Without those issues I'd use Good Lock as default.

If you have it set to lock immediately through your lockscreen settings, not through GoodLock (GL does not have any options for this that I have seen) it should lock as soon as the screen is turned off. By default, mine was set up for 5 minutes (I think) but I keep mine set to 1 minute of inactivity.
Awesome that was the settings I was looking for.
How do u ADD apps to the apptray in recent screen? I see edit and I can remove but how do u ADD your favorites?

Go into settings and select wallpaper. In the upper left corner you should be able to choose home screen or lock screen.

Quick Update for folks that are having the massive Battery Drain issue:
I took some advice from another thread that suggested actually creating a routine for Everywhere vs just using the Default profile. Apparently there is something wonky in the Default Routine that causes it to attempt to pinpoint your location repeatedly. (wakelock) This in turn make the GPS and location service run constantly. After creating a Routine and basically setting it up with EVERYWHERE as the location, I have had some different results.
1. The phone is still running warm, definitely not hot as before. I could heat my coffee with it.
2. The battery drain is definitely still there, but not as severe.
I have been sending feedback over the past few days. We will see if Sammy will make any changes in the future.
I am also curious to see other finding from other users.

No. But if you are, I would blame your problems on something you've done with your rooted phone, not Goodlock. The app works fine for almost everyone. It's your experience that's abnormal, not mine.
What is SideSqueeze?
SideSqueeze is an innovative and unique app that uses the barometric pressure sensor in your device to detect squeezes and screen presses. It is compatible only with Samsung Galaxy devices from 2017 onwards, although some people have reported varying degrees of success with Pixel devices.
What It Does
SideSqueeze gives your S8/S9/S10 series Galaxy the ability to respond to squeezes, double squeezes, triple squeezes, quadruple squeezes, long squeezes, and/or inertial squeezes, as well as force presses on the screen. For example, you can double squeeze your phone to activate Google Assistant...or maybe you'd like to quadruple squeeze to toggle auto-rotation. And now with Tasker integration, you can even create elaborate tasks to do just about anything and trigger them with any type of squeeze! SideSqueeze's new modular GUI allows you to pick and choose what you want to do with ease.
Features (not all available in trial version)
7 detectable squeeze types (single, double, triple, quadruple, long, long double-squeeze, and inertial)
3 detectable press types (single, long, and 2-finger)
Independently selectable criteria allow you to assign multiple actions to any trigger type (if lockscreen open, if homescreen open, if camera open, if S-Pen detached, if within 5-seconds of power on, if the phone is ringing, if in-call, or if screen is off)
New app picker to launch any app of your choosing
Tasker integration to launch any task of your choosing
Quick Settings tile to toggle detection engine
Wide selection of common actions, such as flashlight toggling, status bar toggling, etc
Adjustable pressure thresholds
Calibration assistant to customize SideSqueeze to your device's unique characteristics
Efficient detection algorithm that is designed to be as lightweight and low-power as possible with no significant impact on battery life
Questions?
See the in-app Help section for answers to commonly asked questions.
Where do I get it?
SideSqueeze 2 is now available on the Play store!

I like the concept of the app but I tried it and it is very difficult to use coming from a pixel device. I set up custom squeeze pressures but it won't work properly. A squeeze will usually engage what I want but if I move phone around or sit it down it will also do the squeeze action. Good idea but going to be tough to do properly i feel!

Thank you for your feedback. Have you calibrated it? What are your gain and release threshold set to? What sensitivity level are you using?

I did it kept saying try again and changed values, said like 50 try again then 100 then -10 and kept saying try again. It was really odd
Same here.... S10+..... Seems difficult to get out of the calibration stage. Then, sometimes the squeeze works and sometimes it does not. I also see calibration messages after exiting the app.
Interestingly, the squeeze command seems to always work when in the app.
When I retried to calibrate with a squeeze command already set, the command activated and the assigned app launched.
Will try to play with it again later.

Now I am getting a notification that side squeeze is running. However, I have had it disabled in the app!

This is really weird, and no one has ever reported behavior like this. I can't seem to reproduce it. Was there any step that stood out in your mind? Did you do anything unusual? Do you remember roughly what the message said? There are only a few it could have been, any words or phrases you remember from it? Thanks!
The time you tried to calibrate with a command set, did you remember if you tapped the "Start" button at the bottom first?

Is it possible you have the press detection module on? The engine stays running unless both are disabled. Open the left fly-out menu and go to Screen Presses and make sure that is off, too.

Unfortunately, I don't recall the text of the toast message. Yes, I clicked on the start button to calibrate. As far as I know, I did nothing unusual. Press screen was turned off.
I just now opened the app, made sure that both screen pressure and squeeze were not enabled. After exiting the app, there is a notification that sidesqueeze is running.
Also, there is an issue with the discord server. I have to open the sidesqueeze app and click on the discord link to open it. I accept the invite. 5 minutes later, the server disappears from the discord app. When I tried to join again thru the discord app, it states that the invite has expired. This is repeatable.

I got working a little bit, took literally 5 mins to setup though. It's hit or miss now though works maybe 50% of the time and still sometimes randomly
I deleted cache and data. I installed the new test version you sent. It seems to be much more stable and working as it should. I will give it more time to see if all remains well.

This is new and useful for S10+! Nice app my man! Thanks!
After using the new build a bit more, a couple of observations. First, the action set for one squeeze, sometimes activates without me squeezing the phone. Secondly, with sidesqueeze activated and the press actions definitely switched off, I can no longer double tap to wake my s10+. As soon as I deactivate sideswitch, double tap to wake is restored.

I have no idea about the double tap thing, I'll have to look into it. As for the notification, when does it come back?
The double tap may have had something to do with the aod..... The notification returned after I rebooted the phone.

Oh ok, that's actually fixed in the last minute update I pushed out moments after 2.01. It should be rolling out to you any minute now.
I have been noticing that if I set the squeeze strength to custom rather than to soft or medium for example, sidesqueeze resets itself to medium.

Thanks for the feedback, as always. Can you reproduce this? When does it happen? Like, does it only reset when the app opens? What were you doing before it reset? Is 'Firm' affected, too?

Can't pinpoint any specific event or time. Haven't used firm at all. Also noticing that sometimes it seems overly sensitive and other times it won't respond at all. I will try to notice when these things occur.
