Hello All!
I was wondering, if there is a way to turn on the screen on any android device {I have an i9100(CM10.2) and an i9505 (stock with root)} by drawing a gesture on the locked and turned off screen?(a gesture like the ones in GMD, or Nova) I know it would consume a bit more battery, and that there are apps, like Gravity box, that aim to do this, via the proximity sensor, or gyro/accelerometer, but I'd like to do it with the gesture(a little like the LG G pro 2 or the LG G2...
Anybody have any idea, suggestion? I've heard or read of something like this before, but I cannot find it anywhere...
Can anyone with an S7 tell me if it has "ok google" voice detection while screen off? Early reports seem to indicate that it doesn't - which will be a deal breaker for me.

Thanks guys.
EDIT: Update here. Not looking that good so far:

I've searched a couple hours now and there is a demand for the "Ok google" detection while the screen is off and the phone is not charging. There ar multiple topics about this on different places:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s7/661999-ok-google-screen-off.html
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS7/comments/48uv2q/no_ok_google_while_screen_off/
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/force-ok-google-t3396305
Most of these topics are created/commented by users, not devs. While there is the "fake charging" method described here (http://www.droidviews.com/force-ok-google-detection-screen-off/) it has many drawbacks and is a very ugly solution, mostly for older phones.
The S7 should have some hardware allowing it to "hear" in low power state while the screen is off, we can see that on the S Voice application, that works well but isn't nearly as good as Google Voice. Some google phones, like the Nexus and the Pixel, support this functionality.
I know this forum is full of phone devs, I'm a programmer myself. How could we make 'ok google' detection when the screen is off and the phone is not charging?
If you got the Google Assistant then you will be able to do that.

I tried and no dice: screen off, no detection. (unless charging)
changing build.prop to pixel so the system thinks that we're using a pixel device which has that option ?
I have Google Assistant installed and it responds to "Ok Google" from lock screen being off and not charging??
I flashed the Google Assistant enabler onto my Galaxy S7 flat, running Nougat.
The one that doesn't require changing device ID to Pixel device or altering your language, or installing all the Beta Google apps. Works beautifully.

This is the post. Just flash it using twrp and you get Full Google Assistant without any issues or having to change your device name or language etc
I tried flashing this but it does not work. Screen off = no detection unless charging.

I can confirm this. Still looking for a way to use it as I use my phone to do work while driving my bike a lot. Not very user friendly to wake my phone with a button press..
On nougat, why can't I use "ok google" with screen off to bring up google assistant?
In the settings I have it to answer to me even with the screen off, but it's not working. It only works when I say "ok google" if I already have the screen on.
Same problem​ here as well.

It works on my mate 8 if i disable fingerprint and unlock password
Hi guys
Is there any way how to make "OK google" command work even while screen is off ?
I was used to it on MI8 and now on mi note 10 I can't set it up properly.
As far as I know and have read, it has something to do with the kernel and if it supports it... And it seems this device does not support it. I am really hoping the change this with MIUI 12
