Hey guys!
As many of you might also know, Nokia has recently unveiled its new flagship - the N9 with MeeGo.
I thought there are two interesting things maybe also to have for Android:
1st the tiny clock when the phone is locked
2nd the gesture to wake the phone by tapping the screen twice
Luckily I already found a solution for my first question, an app called Off Clock. But still I am not 100% satisfied with it, as it merely is an app running rather than even running after the lock screen switched off. And also the clock is a little too big for me, but not such a big point... Maybe someone has a solution for that or can refer to another application?
For the 2 tap functionality I haven't found anything yet but i also think it is quite interesting. It should just work like this: In sleep mode double tap the screen and it wakes up and unveiles the lockscreen.
In an recent article from Engadget named "Nokia N9 first hands-on! (update: video)" in the hands on video you should find both things described above. (cannot yet post links...)
Thanks is advance!

Does really nobody have an idea for the doubletap wakeup thing?
It would be highly appreciated!
some what like it
its called tap tap app. u tap your proximity sensor but its close. its an attempt lol
I installed MIUI.us 1.11.18 by Twin_Dragons just the other day. Loving it overall, but having two small issues:
"Vibrate on keypress" does not work in both stock keyboard and Swype. I have haptic feedback enabled in SOUND setting, VIBRATE ON KEYPRESS enabled in both keyboards under LANGUAGE & INPUT, and even enabled HAPTIC FEEDBACK TWEAKS (which I found by search function in settings, this one doesn't appear anywhere else and seems to do nothing). Pressing hardware buttons makes the phone vibrate, pressing menu items doesn't (meaning 'haptic feedback on screen selections' also appear broken).
Cannot find/reach MUIU camera app. I flashed the ROM twice (went back to my Sense back-up after the first time). First time around, I opened the camera app and saw the MUIU version. Second time around I keep getting the AOSP version.
As relevant clues to why things might be broken: I installed Launcher Pro, changed themes and restored a couple of apps with Titanium Backup (I think it was just maps and browser).

Haptic feedback doesn't work because Miui changed their keyboard to ICS keyboard. It will probably be fixed soon.
Thumb Keyboard haptic feedback works , if you're willing to buy.
MIUI camera isn't implemented yet, they are working on it.
Hi,
I will like to buy P6210, the not 3G version and I want to know if this version has vibration motor inside that can be used for haptic feedback, as I have now on I9000. This is useful for notifications, keyboards...
I hope someone with P6210 experience could answer that.
Thanks
Yes.

Haptic feedback
Vibrate when soft keys are pressed and on certain UI interactions
Thank you very much!
I didn't find this in the tablet specifications and I was afraid this function is no available on non 3G version.
I've noticed the touchscreen is a little bit slow/lazy when I activate navigation gestures.
The lazy response area is only on the bottom-left of the display, and it concerns only the "A" letter of my qwerty keyboard (a very small area).
This lazy response of the touchscreen is on all other apps, not only in the keyboard, and it concerns only that small area.
If I use navigation buttons, the problem disappear.
I don't know if this issue was present also in previous OS version because I've tried using navigation gestures today
I've the Nex S 8/256GB, PD1805_A_1.17.10
Anyone noticed this?
Exactly the same here...
Sorry for this (maybe too) late answer: Have exactly the same issue. I'm used to write really fast on my phone, but since having the Vivo Nex, I'm slowed down extreamly because of this. Also for me just the "A" letter is the problem. Doesn't matter which keyboard or size (tried several), it's always laggy...
I really hoped this would be a thing of the past after the newest "Funtouch-update" from some days ago, as they've been writing about "better touchscreen accuracy" in the changelog... But nobchanges at all concerning this point...
Did anyone already found a solution against this, without having to turn on those ugly navigation buttons on the bottom of the screen? I really like the three swiping gestures.
Same on my side
Seems as my previous post has been deleted / went lost...
I've exactly the same problem here with the "A" key of the keyboard being really slow on my Vivo Nex S (256GB, global version). Hoped this problem would fade away after the newest "Funtouch" update 3 days ago, because they wanted to have solved exactly this problem, what Vivo told us in the changelog...
But all kept the same. Tried already three different keyboards with different settings, no success. Does someone has a solution for this?
But I really DON'T like having the navigation buttons visible, so this is no option for me. I definitely want to use the original slide actions for the three buttons below the screen...
To be honest: I'm using the Nova Launcher over the Funtouch System (the Funtouch launcher is absolutely useless). Could this have an influence?
This happends to me too.It seems there s area down to the bottom of screen is not sensitive enough.
I have vivo 1805 which is Taiwan version, not sure if this model same as the global version. And I also try to flash the chinese version ROM but failed cause of the signature difference. The update progress in Taiwan is not as fast as chinese. Hope VIVO in Taiwan could release the fix soon.

Well, not sure if this is the same issue on my device, as the sensitivity seems to be ok on mine, but I have to push the "a" button much longer (not stronger) than all others. So just a laggy key... And REALLY annoying!
But "good" to hear that others seem to have comparable problems. If there just finally would be a fix for this on the Vivo phones...?
Hey guys. I have been facing the same issue and started experimenting with navigation replacements. So as you guys realize, sensitivity is just fine when using the nav buttons but there are a lot of keyboard mistypes when using Vivo's own navigation gestures.
Therefore, after expermintation, I can confirm that the app called "Fluid Navigation" is an awesome replacement for the navigtion gestures. XDA Navigation gestures is slightly incompatible with the Nex. But Fluid Navigation works perfect.
So all you need to do is follow these steps
1, Switch to Nav buttons
2, Install the app
3, Grant accessibility permission
4, Grant Write Secure Settings through ADB. The app gives instructions for this
5, Hide the nav bar through the app
6, Customize the gestures in the app. It even allows quick settings swipe up.
Hope this helps. Enjoy guys. You will definitely feel the difference

Tap, Tap is a port of the double tap on back of device gesture from Pixels running Android 12 to any Android 7.0+ device*.
Tap, Tap provides over 50 actions that can be run from double or triple taps on the back of your device, including:
Launching an app
Launching a shortcut
Toggling the flashlight
Simulating button presses, such as home or back
Running a Tasker task
Quick Tap to Snap**
... and many more!
The gesture can also be fully controlled, to only run under certain conditions, or run different actions in different scenarios; such as only when an app is running, the screen is off, or when listening to music (many more options are available).
The sensitivity and response of the gesture can be controlled, picking from 8 "models", trained for devices ranging in size from 5.7" to 6.3" in height, as well as finer control of the sensitivity of gesture detection, meaning there is a configuration that will work well for most devices.
Tap, Tap also tries to be easy on the battery, only running the gesture detection when required, and integrates with the "low power mode" available on select Pixel devices, otherwise using the lower-power machine learning capabilities of devices, where available.
* Your device must have an accelerometer and gyroscope.
** Requires a compatible Pixel device or root, see this page for more info.

Changelog said:
Version 1.6.1
- Fixed crash on Android 14 Beta 3
- Updated dependencies
Version 1.6
- Added support for Android 14 DP1
- Fixed Low Power Mode on some Android 13/14 builds
- The "Apps" requirement now displays the selected app on the requirement list
- Removed checks from switches since it broke the animation
Version 1.5:
- Added new Samsung model from RegiStar
- Added new action to simulate rotating the device
- Added support for LG DualScreen devices for foldable gate
- Fixed a number of crashes
- UI tweaks
Version 1.4:
- Fixed Native Mode on Android 13, and as a result it now requires Shizuku or Sui. This is because of restrictions to the READ_LOGS permission on Android 13
- Added Notification Permission prompt for Android 13
- Updated Material switches to newer Material You style
- Updated dependencies
- Added touch on screen action, thanks mauri870
- Updated Traditional Chinese translation, thanks cracky5322
- Fixed incorrect button action during setup
- Fixed crash on Android 10
- Fixed incorrect notification for gesture actions
Version 1.3:
Introducing Native Mode, a new low-battery usage mode for Pixels with official Quick Tap support. This mode, similar to the existing low-power mode, uses the system component, but does so without needing root (on Android 13) or a constantly running Shizuku service (on Android 12). To set it up, you will need to use ADB or root once to grant a permission, after that it will run without further actions being required.
Please note that Native Mode does not work while the screen is off, and you may find triple tap is harder to use with it enabled. Both of these are system restrictions and cannot be worked around.
In addition, 1.3 fixes some crashes, updates translations, and fixes Quick Tap to Snap from the lockscreen.
Version 1.2:
Tap, Tap v1.2 disables the Tensor Low Power Mode by default as it was causing issues with some devices not working with the gesture.
If it was previously working for you on 1.x, and you experienced battery improvements, you can re-enable it in the advanced settings.
Low Power Mode on supported Pixels with Shizuku or Sui is not affected by this change.
- Added missing alarm permission
- Fixed more app shortcut crashes
- Improve foldable gates
- Added monochrome icon for Android 13
- Translation updates
Version 1.1:
- Fixes for Android 13
- Fixed app shortcut related crashes
- Fixed service starting on boot even if it's disabled
- Fixed crash on start on Android 7.0
- Added Do not Disturb enabling action, thanks Kylian Meulin
- Updated translations
Important: If you are on Android 13, you MUST now use Sui to use Low Power Mode (Sui requires root). This is due to platform restrictions, there is no workaround.
Version 1.0.1:
- Fixes for various crashes including Snapchat, App Shortcuts and network issues.
- Improvements to device specs lookup for model recommendation
- Improvements to notification & quick settings expand/collapse actions
- Actions & Gates that are unsupported will now give a reason why they are
- Added Battery Saver gate
Version 1.0 is a full rewrite of the app, from scratch. It contains a brand new UI, a number of new actions and gates, and implementation of the Android 12 'Columbus' gesture code and models, including a new Low Power Mode for Pixels.

Reporting Issues & Feature Requests
If you have encountered a crash or error, please make an issue on the GitHub Issues page. For crashes, include a crash report, which Tap, Tap should create for you and show a notification after a hard crash (enable the option on the "More" page first if you have disabled it). Before making an issue, make sure it has not been reported before, and does not fall under the "service killed" pinned issue, as those will be closed and ignored.
To request a feature, either make an issue stating "Feature Request", or post a reply in the XDA thread. Note that only relatively simple features will be considered, anything more complex including toggling specific system features should be done using the Tasker capabilities of Tap, Tap, as the app is not meant to be a Tasker replacement.
I just installed it on my Pixel 4 XL and I'm really impressed by its accuracy. Also the UI looks very nice, good job!
I tried it on a Xiaomi mi8, works great
Wow, this works surprisingly well on OnePlus 7Pro, even with a case on. Although sometimes I'll go on a run of it working 10x times in a row, and then it won't work for the next few, and then go back to working again.
Currently using the Pixel 4XL model as I think it's the closest out of the three. It definitely needs more of a deliberate tap - tap instead of a super quick double tap to be more accurate, but that's not a problem at all.
Super excited to see what (if any) improvements can be made to the model, or sensitivity in the future.

Worked like a charm on the Mate 20 Pro using a Spigen case. This is awesome.
Tasker Integration
Can't wait to see the Tasker Integration to open up the whole new level of potential.
Thanks for the app!

Works well on my xperia 1! Thanks
Id love for this to work when the phone is locked. Perhaps with root or magisk? Definitely willing to pay
Working Perfectly on Mi A2 Lite Major thanks to such an awesome Developer
Nice work, installed on my Galaxy Z FLip and it works great, can you add the ability to double tap and choose a shortcut too
THank you for the greatwork!
Trying it with my s10 exynos and it works great, little weird at times with a case but it still works 90% of the time

Disable the screen off gate lol
And turn on the wake device up feedback if it's an app launching and not something that will work with the screen off

Double tapping might not be possible, the tensorflow model appears to be for a single tap only, but I might be able to figure something out eventually.
Shortcuts as in like launcher shortcuts to call someone or open Maps directions? Probably will add that.
Tried on my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Havoc. The default command seemed to work but I changed it to back button simulation, and it doesn't work. My phone vibrates, telling me that Tap, Tap recognized my tapping but the command wasn't executed.
EDIT: lock screen works

Do any of the other actions other than the default setup work? That would help rule out whether it's an issue with back or an issue with actions in general on that device

Sorry I was unclear. It is disabled. But from my experience in the past with apps such as button remapper I have been unable to get screen off commands to work properly. In that instance using volume buttons, it was possible. But not for dedicated camera keys etc.
Now, with the gate disabled, flashlight, Assistant do nothing when the screen is off. When it is on but in the lockscreen it still doesn't work. The phone is unlocked work trustedagent,too.
Works really nice on a Pixel 3. The app is really well made and I love the design.
