I have updated to android 10 Beta, with nolimits.xxx rom modul. It works like a charm, but for the first time I tried gestures for navigation.. I love it, but I have a problem.. Before when I had buttons enabled, I had back button for turning off the screen after use (double tap). How do you guys solve this problem with gestures? Is it possible to make double tap on home screen to screen off, or maybe swipe some gesture... Please let me know your solutions
On home screen, long tap and go to settings (Launcher settings), there should be an option to lock if double tap (at least it's there on Android 10)
Thanks

Good morning everyone,
I am looking for a widget or tweak that makes it easy to put the phone to sleep other than having to tap the status bar twice. Something I can put down below to avoid having to mess with the status bar every time I want to shut off the screen. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions! Thanks guys.
Depending on whether your launcher has gestures, you can download Screen Off & Lock.

I'm using Nova Launcher with a double tap on home screen gesture to both Sleep the phone & Hibernate apps with Greenify.

If you are talking about the knock feature, you can just leave an empty shortcut spot anywhere on your screen and double tap that spot.
Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I just discovered over the weekend that if I hold down the Home button, it not only shuts off my screen, but also locks the phone so that it requires my swipe pattern to access it again.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks. I did it and was given several options to choose as default (Google Search, nothing, Greenify+Lock, etc). I opted for the long press to Greenify option. This is great.
Hey guys,
I'm really needs to know if there is an option within the phone for "double tap" the screen to "unlock it"?
How to get this function working smoothly without any additional functions?
Thanks for reading.
Unfortunately not an option. Otherwise u can use ur finger print to unlock the phone
Isn't there at least an app functioning the same thing? If so which is the best one
No recommendations since your battery will drain .
You can at least add double tap to sleep on the Status bar functionality through the double tap to sleep xposed module. For me i use the fingerprint scanner to wake up the device and double tap the status bar to make the phone sleep as i don't like pressing the power button too much.
I like to have double-tab on home button to turn screen off, is that available on stock?
I know you can configure double-tab on screen to turn screen off, but I use Nova launcher, and the double tab action is probably controlled by Nova. If I use Nova double tab gesture, then I can't unlock with fingerprint...
Or any suggestion to turn screen off without pressing the power button?
U would need a custom rom
in LeeDrOiD ROM there is a option: Always Allow Fingerprint Unlock
Double tap in Nova launcher is configurable in the way it does not conflict with fingerprint unlock. I know it is possible cause I use it but I do not know how to configure it anymore
I ended up loading ViperU and it's working great!
I find this phone great, the only thing that is bugging me is the position of the power button. It's so far up the right hand side I find it a pain to reach to (I always hold phone in my left hand). I would lock my old phone by using a gesture through Nova Launcher, but (I think because of a newer Android version) it is no longer possible to do that properly. It can only be done so that the phone is "Admin locked" and requires the pin to unlock (not face/fingerprint), or to turn the display black until it times out (which is supposed to be for 5 seconds but for some reason it takes the full normal timeout of 1 min).
Does anyone know of a way to lock the phone properly using anything other than the power button? (without root)
I know LG seem against remapping the assistant button, but one great option they could have would be to be able to swap round the power and assistant buttons
Not the right thread to ask in but you can turn on KnockON in General settings and thereafter double tapping on the notification bar will lock your phone.
Thanks for the tip.
Apologies for posting in the wrong place, I meant to do it in Q&A, somehow I messed up :/
Mods please feel free to delete/move this topic
You can also double tap any open space on the home screen to lock the phone. Same with the lock screen. Double tapping anywhere while display is off wakes it.
Double tap screen lock not working. Phone wakes up after double tapping but does not lock when the screen is on
try reset phone?
You need to also set the double tap to sleep/wake in the POCO launcher as well.
For unknown reason Xiaomi had 2 separate settings for double tap to wake/sleep. You need both turned on.
For double tap to sleep, you need to minimize to launcher and then double tap a blank space in launcher.
You should use Poco Launcher. Any other may not work, like lawnchair launcher. Anyway, with Nova launcher double tap to on/off screen works, but you should give administrator and aceessibility permissions.
