If you used the elemental x kernel you can choose to swipe acroos the nav bar. There is also a mod in the sense toolbox (xposed module) to use hold the back button when on the homescreen to go to sleep.

If you have something like nova launcher you can use the above program to sleep your phone using knock or swipe gestures. There is also an exposed module with swipe gesture shortcuts to turn off your phone. It's sense 6 or gravitybox I can't remember. I use insertcoins tap time to sleep since I like BlinkFeed launcher and xposed seems to marginally slow down the UI

I don't notice Nova launcher has this function Before known this trick I'm using nova now migrate To it .Tqvm

Thanks for the tip! I already had this app, but did not know you can swipe up from the homescreen to lock. I relied on the widget, but its much easier to swipe up on any screen

I was just talking to my friend about this the other day since we both had galaxy s3s and the power buttons broke around the same time. Thanks for the heads up

Thank you for this! I never use Google Now myself so this is the perfect solution for me as I wanted a way to swipe to lock the phone.

Hi guys you all are welcome. We are here sharing and learning. ?

Great thnx for sharing. Been using the HTC gesture listener but the three finger thing was quite cumbersome to use. this one seems far better

Nice app! I've noticed that you can now double tap to unlock even if you didn't pick up the phone first and it's already in your hand. Also if the phone is sitting on your desk you don't have to pick it up to unlock anymore......just double tap. Very nice indeed.

Nice work! But double tap registers as fast tap like 9 of 10 times (whichever delay value i use).

Swipe (fast tap) does not work on a Honor 5x with CM13

Try to tap it a bit slower. It takes experience...

Do not tap too quickly.

Does smart lock and fingerprint to unlock functions works without root?

Swipe function do not work, no matter how quick or slow tapping. There is no reaction.
Is root necessary for it to work, or is it just not supported?
In stock rom swipe is working with fingerprint.

Root is not needed for swipe fast tap. I cannot test Huawei over here, closest thing is a Nexus 6P (Huawei made) which works. Maybe some other members can reply.
Do you get a "finger moved too fast" on your lockscreen when you do a fast tap/swipe? This is to determine whether the app works.

No, there is no message showing up.
All other functions work in your app. I tried also the functions where root is necessary, I rooted it to try out - everything works except swipe.

Why does this app require a persistent notification while Fingerprint Quick Action does not?

Great job on this vary helpful app. Works great on my stock rooted Nexus 6p 6.0.1

FQA has the option to prevent from being killed by system and it requires persistent notification. So, it's the same way.
Inviato dal mio Kate

why did it have limited number of tap ???

Nice app! Could you add an option to open the camera with single/double tapping? That world be great

Awesome!

Works and then stops working as soon as you leave the app

Feature Requests

Hopefully Essential takes some user feedback as far as features we would like to see going forward. If you post please try to keep it to reasonable features that mostly stock devices have or non os software tweaks.
The two big ones for me are
1. Night mode
2. Fingerprint shortcuts, primarily for notifications

+1

Damn just checked and realized no night mode since got the phone just today.
+1 on night mode, that thing is must have at system level. Don't want to go back to using apps like twilight etc

My needs are simple. Would like the option to rearrange navigation buttons, battery percentage, and finger print gestures.

Has anyone tried enabling night mode by enabling the UI tuner?. night mode is built into nougat but on some phones still has to be turned on. I don't have the phone yet to do it. Pull down the notification shade twice and then long press the settings cog icon. A wrench will show up next to the icon indicating that UI tuner has been enabled. Next install "night mode enabler" from the play store.

Unlocked bootloader, TWRP and root. Hopefully. ? - Not sure any devs are on board with this device.
I haven't received the phone yet, but does it support gestures while the screen is off? Such as double tap to wake, swipe up to unlock, etc.

Night mode is nice. I also like to separate ring volume from notification volume. I know that's not native to Android, but a simple mod makes all the difference for me.

Night mode for sure. Second would be system level to force apps to use the full screen, like what Samsung has for the s8+

Yep.
I'm waiting for TWRP.
For root, I plan to use Magisk to root and hide BL status. Since it's mostly ASOP, it should work like the Nexus 6P I have.

First off +1 to both, I really don't want to use the app that allows finger gestures, was a little sad to see it not available in stock Android since I got used to using it on the Pixel XL.

Just tried it and it isn't there sadly. Just like the fingerprint gestures I don't want to have to add it through an app.
On the flip side I got exactly what I deserved/wanted. Nothing but pure Android (minus the Essential Cam app and the Essential option in the settings) so that was good but in a way I want to kick myself because I forgot that these two features were add ons to the skin for the Pixel devices. Whatever the case maybe, I'll get over it lol.

ability to change navigation buttons

Hopefully those features, switching navigation buttons and more will come to the table once we get the bootloader unlocked and the possibility of custom ROM's/mods. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Use this to change nav bar.
For battery percentage just enable the UI tuner

1. Changing audio track with volume buttons when screen is off.
2. Resizing nav bar height
3. Double tap to wake

I second the fingerprint gestures and double tap to wake wholeheartedly.
Would also love to see these:
1. Ability to use Light Flow or another LED manager to customize notification LEDs. This is my favorite thing about Android phones and Essential's stock LED patterns aren't cutting it for me. Somehow they managed to make it impossible for the LED to flash more than once every 5 seconds.
2. Ability to use 360 camera attachment as a fisheye lens. Currently the camera stitches two 210 images together to form a 360 photo. I want to be able to choose just one lens to capture an image.

The battery percentage option is in the system ui tuner I believe. Pull down the notification shade and long press on the settings icon then go into settings and look for it.

ability to change navbar height. it's too big uses unnecessary screen estate

There are several Improvements I would like to see in the phones software. More so just general optimization. However I think that most of these answers of what features are coming will be answered in Thursday's Q&A session with Andy Rubin on Reddit. So I guess we should wait until then to see where Essential and the ph1 is headed.

anyone get pull down on FP to bring down quick settings to work with cleanslate ?

hey guys, i loved this feature on my 6p.
swipe fingerprint for notification <<< this is even in the rom I'm using on my op6 (Liquid Remix).
but the thing is it doesn't work, and i seen a video of cleanslate kernel with its app the tapping of the fp brings down the qs tiles.
but I've tried it before and no luck, no matter how I've tried it, it just wouldn't work.
also am i the only one here who splashed 700+$ on this phone? (i bought the 128gb version, it cost me 700+$.. in my region, middle east).

On samsung note 10+ one ui 2, on lockscreen still activated even though it's turned off in the settings.
Need it to be off because I'm using Samsung pay shortcut in the bottom of the screen lock.

Thanks for the update! Just tested on a Mate 20 Pro, and managed to get it 'working', however swiping up to go home usually results in the Single press action getting triggered as well.
