Double tap to wake

have this feature for honor 8?
How?
maybe root needed?

Not truly possible. There are apps (that don't need root) but you end up A) killing your battery life and B) losing or at least decreasing the functionality of unlocking other ways like with the fingerprint scanner.

You can try this and see if it works lol
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/enable-double-tap-to-wake-t3312676

Just a bit off topic: What do you think causes the 10 buck flip-case that Honor sells to cause the phone to wake and sleep? Is it magnetic, or just using some sensor it uncovers? I got one with the phone and it works great, and there appears to not be anything magnetic inside it, or even a piece of ferric metal.
Anyway: Whatever it is that allows that must be very low power because there is next to no drain (especially on the b360 OS I installed today) when it's closed. Nothing appears to be setting around sucking up power awaiting the incredible event of the cheapo case opening or closing. There is a setting for it in the settings, but I've no idea what the settings changes. Actually I suspect that link in @Saythis post could work.

you can try some xposed modules but the battery will drain faster

Not possible for now, the honor 8 kernel doesn't support it

You can try to follow instructions from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...ide-how-to-enable-double-tap-to-wake-t3426809 . This is for Huawei P9 Lite, but the script of Kernel, i think is the same. The only inconvenience is you must root your phone.

As always on XDA and with any modification, ROM, Kernel, etc. the risk is up to the user. I tried it and couldn't get it to work so I suppose the Honor 8 has a missing module/driver for it in its kernel.

EMUI supports it regardless of the kernel. The kernel doesn't need to be identical on both devices, it simply needs to have the module/driver to keep the screen capacitive when the pixels are off for DT2W. The display also has to be able to remain capacitive while the pixels are off. So no, the kernels don't need to be identical. There's a hardware requirement as much as there's a software (kernel support and OS support) requirement.

The Honor 8 doesn't support the use of double tap to wake, you could just use the fingerprint scanner on the back to wake it. Which is super fast!

Depends on your perspective. I'd like the tap to wake function if I had my handset on the desk while I was working rather than have to pick it up to check for messages, emails or miss calls.

Do you guys not have the "wake on notifications" setting ? That wakes it for any notification (or it does as I've got it set on b360 right now, but it worked on b320 as well).
Also, I mentioned before that the 10 buck flip case turns on the screen and I can't even find a piece of magnetic metal in that cheap case, so it might be using some sensor and there is a setting for it also in the settings. (case-on == on). Gotta be a way between these things.
I was wrong about the magnet: I found it using a paper clip and it is the lower half of the screen-facing area on the honor8. It's a "slight" magnetism and apparently the settings switch enables it's detection. I was hoping it was using a different type of sensor that we could spoof.

Try "Glance Plus" from Google Play. I use it on my H8 and it works just the way I want.
Wave hand over proximity sensor to check for messages, missed calls, date, time and battery status, it's configurable. To wake up your phone, double tap on screen.
Can't give you a link, I'm a new user, but find it at Google Play!

The glance is a better Idea for me

I will definately look into that! Sounds like a great way to check the notifications without having to use the fingerprint scanner.

Double tap to wake screen

Can anyone help.
I can't find the option to enable the double tap to wake the screen on my Xz Premium.
It's on my wife's Xz.
Thanks

Yeah, seems like Sony has removed that feature on XZs and XZ Premium

I hope they add it back. I wonder if it's something to do with the 4k screen? Does anyone know if it's on the z5 premium?

Hello dvdman2k,
Yes the double tap to wake is on the Z5P; however I found it something of a mixed blessing as was inclined to wake from unintentional screen touches while in a pocket (in the Style Cover SCR46 with the active window). Having just migrated to the XZP I'd noticed the feature's absence, but almost with some relief !
Regards,
Kevin
PS. Having now used the device for a week or so, I've changed my opinion. There are some occasions when the Double Tap function would be very good to have. Others when I'd prefer it turned off (eg. to prevent inadvertent activation while in a jacket pocket). So my conclusion is that I'd like to see the functionality re-instated in the ROM , but with a user-controlled toggle in Settings so that it is flexible to suit requirements.

Hi kevinpwhite
Coming from Moto Z I liked the feature where you could wave hand over the display and it would wake up & the finger. Print reader is on the front of the phone.
Sometimes I want to wake the screen without pressing the power Button.
Thanks

I have double tap to lock using Nova Prime as my launcher. I don't use double tap to wake even when available because too often the screen starts up when the phone is in your pocket. However, I do wish that the fingerprint reader would unlock the phone WITHOUT having to actually press the button in just like most fingerprint readers work. Maybe they could make it work this way? In fact I am sure they could because when you are setting up your various fingers for access you do not have to push the button in. In fact if you accidentally do push it in while registering your prints it will close the screen and you have to start all over. SO I believe they could make it live/active just like any other fingerprint reader. How do we actually get these requests to Sony directly? I also wish they would unlink the ringtone volume from the notification volume.

Things might change in the next update.

This is a mandatory feature for me. I won't buy a phone without it. In fact, I pretty much need to have lift-to-wake and/or some kind of always-on-display. Pushing a power button to turn on your phone is so 2015.

Per my earlier comments, I was initially slightly relieved after the Z5P's tendency to turn on when not wanted; however, have now revised my opinion and think it would be very useful - but needs a user-selectable toggle to suit circumstances. This approach has been mooted to the Developers on the Sony Forum (they've acknowledged) and there is quite a strong voice of similar views from other users. The more strength of feeling, the more likely the feature will be re-instated in a F/W update.... :fingers-crossed:
Best regards,
Kevin

if it really bothers you, you can just buy a roxfit urban slim case for it like i have. After using a xiaomi mi5 with tap to wake , its hard going back to the old ways lol, plus less pressing on physical buttons, the longer the hardware lasts!

please bring back

Try this to wake: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jarsilio.android.waveup&hl=en
Install Nova Prime for double tap to lock.
Works great. There are other apps that do similar things in the play store. YMMV

You can always buy the official case that has a screen unlock feature. Because of it I no longer see the need of double tap to wake but it would be handy to have. I am annoyed this feature is excluded though.

Any suggestion for a simple app to do the double tap wake/lock?

Ive been using https://kernel.andro.plus/yoshino.html for DTW
Of course you need a Unlocked Bootloader

Now I'm using WaveUp, it's not like the double tap but works well for both locking and unlocking. And it has a "pocket mode" for unlock the display when you take it out from your pocket, very useful.

Request - Double Tap to wake up on AOSP

Hello guys.
With the new wave of Android Oreo AOSP roms unfortunately we loose some cool sony stuffes. Currently i missing alot the native double tap to wake up. I need to press the pwer button to wake up the device.
Searching in the web I found some apps that make this effect, but seeing in the scream in a dark place i have noticed that the backlight is always on. This don't occurs at sony stock firmware.
Someone knows an app to bring back this feature like stock does?
Kind Regards,

It's impossible hence it breaks lots of service rn, so when stock Oreo will be out, all of that will be fixed

you mean official aosp stock rom or official sony stock rom? The currently Oreo roms seams to use the beta code. I think that official Oreo version bring the cracker instead the octopus in easter egg. I don't wanna use the Sony rom. One day sony will stop support the XZ and the only alternative is use the custom roms. Thx for answer me.

[sGSI][Testing]Android 10.0 AOSP[24/10/2019]

Hi Guys,
Some of you may remember me if you had a Galaxy S9 or Note 10... I rooted my Note 10+ 5G (N976B) Last night and decided to try and have a stab at getting stock android on there by means of project treble. This is a Semi Generic System Image - meaning it's been/being enhanced specifically for our note devices and less focused towards being cross compatible with other devices.
If you have already tested the existing treble roms you'll know that the back lighting doesn't work and you can't adjust brightness. I've had a play around and I've got a working Android 10 AOSP build with fully working backlighting. I thought I'd share as I'd seen a few people who said they can't get GSI's working.
Download System Image
Gapps are included, the image is not rooted. You can flash Magisk yourself.
How to flash:
Make sure you're on a stock based rom (and rooted/twrped) Dr Ketan posted a good guide for this.
Download the System Image above
Reboot to TWRP
Select Wipe
Slide the bar across the bottom of the screen
Go back to the main TWRP menu and select install
Press "Install Image" at the bottom right.
Select the system image you downloaded and swipe to flash.
Once the GSI boots perform another reboot - for some reason the navbar doesn't start up on first boot.
What's working and not working:
Obviously you lose S-Pen functionality, but can still use it as a stylus. You also lose the ability to use your telephoto and telescopic lenses.
UltraSonic Fingerprint isn't working at the moment, but I'm looking into fixing that.
How can you help me?
Let me know how it's working for the different device models. People on other versions please can you let me know your device vendor fingerprint. (to do this On your device, in adb or Termux app use this command: getprop ro.vendor.build.fingerprint)

phhusson - for all the project treble work, this is all thanks to him.

Nice ... you stared to work whit the N10+ , still remember havoc in my N9 was a great time , keep goin Fox

@CodeFox. Thank you so much for your work with this! I booted successfully into Android 10 which is awesome. Installing Magisk was successful as well. Do you have any plans to add mods to this?

No mods to this really, but right now I'm compiling a AEX pie based sGSI which I'm hoping should have some more improved functionality and potentially the fingerprint sensor working. There's no reason to mod bog standard Android 10, may aswell just use custom roms.

I managed to get fingerprint working
I seem to have gotten it working by doing a fresh reset, flashing this version of gapps (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/arm64-bitgapps-q-10-0-0-t3968500), wiped cache/dalvik then rebooted. i dont know if it made a difference or not but i also held my thumb on the sensor for extra long during the initial set up. Did it on N975F

Hmm, Interesting. I will look into it. Thank you.

Thanks (and a quick question)
Thanks for the rom! This works for me on an N975F, including the fingerprint sensor. The only slight nit I have with it is that I can't figure out how to get rid of the cursor showing up on the screen when I use the stylus. Is there any chance there's a way to hide the cursor, or if it can be added? I don't use any other external input devices ever, so I'd be fully satisfied with a way to just disable the cursor globally on my device.

Was there any trick to getting the fingerprint to work?? I've had no joy with it. As soon as I try to register my fingerprint it says there was an enrolment error.

Would this gsi theoretically also fix the s10's brightness issue too?

It did this to me too when I was first setting up the phone, but after it was all set up, I went into the settings to try again, and it worked that time. It didn't show the fingerprint logo during this setup (and it still doesn't on the lock screen), but after a couple tries I was able to estimate correctly where the sensor was. Interestingly, the fingerprint logo does come up in the password manager app I use when I go to unlock it.
Not sure if there are logs that would help or if recording my screen while adding a new fingerprint would be informative, but I'd be happy to do either if that helps you debug in some way.

For what it's worth, all the other GSI's I've tried for the Note 10+ weren't able to adjust the backlight; this is the first one where it just worked. I don't have an S10 to try this out on though, so I have no idea how this ROM would run on it.

LTE working despite phone claiming 3G
One thing I've noticed with this ROM is that the phone claims that it's always only getting 3G rather than LTE and has no bars; however, from doing a speed test on data (with wifi turned off, of course), I got around 8.5 Mbps down, which from a quick Google seems to be will beyond 3G range and into the range that LTE would give. If anyone else thinks they are having issues with getting LTE, I suggest doing a speed test, since you might actually be getting it despite what the phone reports.

Go into your network settings and change the default connection from 3g to LTE/4G/3G.
For some reason it seems to default to 3g preferred.

[No root] Finally, an app to enable native Lift To Wake (lockscreen)

TL, DR. Where is the download?
github.com/xubowenhaoren/OPLiftToWake/releases
What does it do?
This is a simple app to enable Lift To Wake for OnePlus 7 series.
It is not the Lift To "Ambient Display" in the stock Settings App; it enables the true Lift To "Lock Screen" like other phones.
Why do I want this feature?
You've probably already known that OnePlus, in Android 10, reveals the notification content on the lock screen after Face Unlock.
But to see those notifications, you either need to:
1. Pick up the phone and unlock with your finger at the Ambient Display. A two-step process.
2. Pick up the phone and press the power button. Again, a two-step process.
Now with the app, you can pick up the phone and the lock screen immediately shows up.
How does it do this?
It listens to the native system sensor (`oneplus.sensor.pickup`). In my testing, it is very power efficient.
What phones does it support?
I have tested this on a OnePlus 7T with Android 10. It should also work with other OnePlus 7 series.
Note that for earlier OnePlus phones, there is also a [pickup sensor] but with a different name.
If you want this app to work with earlier OnePlus phones, you should try replacing this line in `Utils.java` with the correct sensor name:
```
mSensor = Utils.getSensor(context, mSensorManager, "oneplus.sensor.pickup");
```
How do I use it?
You probably want to turn off the Ambient Display first.
After installing the app, turn on the "Lift To Wake" toggle.
You should also consider turning off the battery optimization of the app for a more consistent background performance.
Do I need Magisk for this?
No, it is root-free.
Credits
Much of the code is from the Lineage OS team.
Other code references can be found in the code comments.

Love this feature thank you!

Works like a charm ? thanks.

Awesome! will give it try, hope there is no battery drain.

Great to see! Cheers

It is still a 2 step procedure when i use face unlock along with fingerprint.
It should be a command that when I pick up the phone -> auto open lockscreen -> auto trigger face unlock.
When i want to use fingerprint, just tap to wake ambient display and unlock with fingerprint.
I really dont want to sacrifice FOD to use only face unlock.

You dont get my point, bro. When you use both FOD and face unlock, this app just show the lockscreen when pick up. Then u have to choose putting your finger on FOD or pressing the face icon button on top of the clock to unlock.
My desire is that the app will trigger the face unlock automatically in that situation.
