Just a request for slide2wake/sweep2sleep capabilities in a kernel?
Personally I liked that more than dt2w. I understand that LG introduced double tap 2 wake, and then everyone jumped on that ship, but what's wrong with the old slide2wake/sweep2sleep gestures? Just fumbling with your phone, its very easy to touch the screen twice by accident and wake the phone up.

It's very plausible for this device, I think. The space between the three off-screen buttons is all touch sensitive. To test it out, enable double tap to wake, and tap in-between the buttons, not on them. The phone will still turn on.

Yes, I would love to see this. Coming from a HTC One X, the feature was great. I really missed this feature.
I'm coming from a Nexus 5 with Elemental X's kernel and I'm surprised the Oneplus One doesn't have simple swipe gestures and the sweep to sleep across the onscreen nav bar gesture
Hi I got a new redmi3s and this is my switch from lumia 1020. I am already loving android but some features from windows I miss a lot. Is there a double tap to wake up and glance screen equivalent in Google play store? I tried one, it usually lasts about 3 uses then stops working. I have to restart the glance app again. I have allowed permissions which the app needs but doesn't work. I haven't looked for double tap to wake.
One more question, is there a way to get ok Google to work when screen is off. Currently it works after i press the lock button and screen goes on.
Hey guys, I recently took the update to the latest (and last) Android O beta and I've noticed that now I have to unlock my phone twice everytime to get into it. I use double tap to unlock my phone. On 7.1.2, I could double tap, then immediately swipe to be in the phone. Now when I double tap it just displays the time. I have to double tap again, then swipe to unlock it.
I feel like this is something simple that I'm missing in the settings to disable. I've played with the Display settings and haven't been able to figure it out.
Anybody know what I'm missing?

I use the finger print reader to unlock but mine worked as expected. Double-tap turned on the screen and my finger unlocked it. Now, it took three double-taps to wake the phone but that's a different conversation. [emoji52]

The 2 double taps being required is normal behavior sadly. I've seen no option to change this either. It's most likely to prevent accidental wakeups and so you don't fully wake your screen unintentionally when just looking at a notification to save power. :silly:

Normal for Android O? I didn't have to do that with M.
The power button only requires a single swipe and the finger scanner unlocks directly to the home screen. I lock and unlock my phone all day (at work). Usually it's on my desk, propped up with a kickstand case so double tapping is easiest for me. This is driving me crazy.

It drives me a bit nuts too but I'm pretty sure it's part of the new ambient display which is less useful than before, it hides the notifications as little dots after it initially goes away..

I believe that since google will be copying other guy having always on display,. This is the reason why the are doing this.
Always on display will be one of the pixel 2 main feature. They are probably testing to see how it works has a ambient notification. I like nougat notification better.
Yea, I'm not that impressed with O so far. Even if I turn off ambient, I still have to double tap twice. Good thing my bootloader is unlocked. I'll flash the patch for this the day someone releases it.

I miss my Note 8 so much; this Note 10 plus seems to be an annoyance. On my Note 8 non rooted, I used to be able to:
Double tap to wake directly into Home screen, the double tap made it hard to accidentally wake the phone inside my pockets.
I used to be able to avoid fingerprint features, and awful password management by Samsung, which forces me to use fingerprints reading that are very dodgy, and annoying. I loved that my Note 8 used Google to manage my passwords super easy.
Is there any way to bring these features back into my Note 10 Plus? SM-N975U
Thanks for any help in advance.
I hear you and it doesn't seem to make sense. The best recommendation I can give you is trying gravity screen, which may or may not relieve some of your frustration. I agree that removing this ability was stupid af.
