Hi,
I updated my Honor 8 to OREO and as soon as i installed nova launcher, i tried to set the double tap gesture for lock the screen but i found a problem (maybe a bug).
Usually I used the Screen Lock built in the Honor 8, but in this upgrade the phone said that, even if there is the shortcut on the widget page and on the Nova gesture shortcut page , it isn't installed.
So now I can't double tap to lock the screen like I used to do. The only way is to use the Nova gesture built in, but it has problems. Or I can lock but I can't unlock with my fingerprint or when i double tap it lock simply turning the screen to black and then, after few seconds locking the phone.
Is there any way to use the Honor8 Screen Lock without having this problems?
My phone is not rooted.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.
Afaik 3rd party launchers doesn't support system widgets in Oreo. Had the same issue with Evie launcher.
I'm still using nougat, that's really bad. I love to double tap to lock.

I just discovered, after setting smart lock with both trusted face and place, that if I lock the screen using an app (LockScreen for example, which I have set as a Nova shortcut), when I turn my screen back on smart lock will not work...
The same happens if I use the Greenify hibernate + lock screen shortcut. Has anyone had the same problem and found a workaround? I'm really used to lock the screen with a shortcut but I'd also like to use smart lock
Thanks in advance!

You're manually locking the phone which over rides the smart lock functionality. No work around at this time, that I know of.
Hello guys,
is there a another way to lock our S8's instead of using the power button with gestures or apps?
I'll tried several apps like double tap to lock, but these kind of apps blocked the face unlock an fingerprint scanner.
It would be cool, if we could lock it with a hard press on the homebutton or long hold on the finger scanner!
Have a good one
Nova launcher, and Apex both have tap to lock and they don't mess with the fingerprint. Theres also an app I used a lot but idk if it will mess with the fingerprint. Invisible lock wigget

All in One Gestures lets you lock the screen with taps to the status bar or navigation bar. I have mine set so that a double-tap to the left end of the navigation bar locks the phone.
The only downside is that third-party locking solutions make the phone lock fully, so your PIN/password is required to unlock it. You can't use your fingerprint or the iris scanner to unlock it again until your PIN/password has been entered.
Yep when enabled in nova you get 2 options.

Just moved over from Mate 10 to View 10 and I can't locate the lock screen icon that was on the Mate 10. As the fingerprint sensor on both doesn't lock the screen, I used the icon on Mate 10 but it doesn't appear on View 10 that I can locate. Anyone found it or using it? Thanks.
Why don't you simply tap the power button on the side to lock the screen?
I'd prefer to do it from screen like before, personal preference.

I don't think that the Honor View 10 has that feature. Maybe there is an App for that.
I've found it. Am using Nova so going back to EMUI and see it in the widget shortcuts (beneath TORCH), enabled in the EMUI and switched back to Nova then chose it but it doesn't work, saying "App isn't installed". Any thoughts?

This icon? I guess it only works in stock launcher
That's it. It definitely worked on the Mate 10 with Nova.
A workaround is to use the Gestures and Inputs of Nova and change the home button function to Screen lock. It seems to be working well so far. Touch once takes back to home screen, then when there, touch again from there locks screen, and it reopens with swiping fingerprint as normal.

Hey, I've just updated my honor 8 L09 to Oreo B562 and factory reset.
Before updating to Oreo, I have been using Nova Launcher with the double tap to lock (It launched the lock screen widget, not their false lock method that turns the screen to black or locks the screen with admin access).
Though, after updating to Oreo, Nova Launcher says that the "Screen Lock" widget is not installed, even though it appears to my screen and only works on with Huawei launcher. If I go to activities > system UI > Screen lock, it says "Permission denied". I have checked all the Nova's permission and everything is good here, but I still can't screen lock.
I've tried many apps but they still use admin access to lock ( can't use the fingerprint to unlock).
Any help? I haven't rooted my honor 8, though.
Thanks in advance.
After updating to android 11, double tap to turn off screen need pin to unlocked phone. Biometric cannot be used. Anyone can make it works with biometrics?

Screen off with Nova works fine on Android 11. (without biometrics)
Just make right selection via Nova.
See screenshot below

I'm using Nova Prime.( Android 11)
As Samsung, double tap to sleep, is not working
in Nova Prime...?
But in Samsung launcher Ui, Samsung double tap to sleep, works fine.
I then otherwise, have in Nova Prime settings, set Nova, double tap to sleep and and selected the Nova option Accessibility setting and not Admin one.
See screenshot.
Nova double tap.... screen off works fine, for me.
With screen off, i use Samsung double tap to wake,
i either get options that phone is already unlocked
with Smart unlock or otherwise when my Bluetooth is off( re Smart lock connection) a option to unlock with biometrics( fingerprints) or otherwise, my face unlock option works automatically and unlocks phone.
Good luck
