Hi guys.
Recently bought the phone and have been enjoying it so far.
Couple of nags appeared while using it. The lack of doubletap to sleep and the lack of NFC tile (because I don't want to be blasting my google wallet all day).
So after some investigation and some GitHub fishing I was able to develop an app that does both. The goal was to be as clean as possible and avoiding having background services, especially continuous Acessibility services.
THE APP HAS NO INTERFACE!!!
So what the app does is give you an app icon that you can put on your homescreen. When pressed, that activates an acessibility service that locks the screen and allows use of fingerprint or face unlock. The lock is instant with no fake black screens.
The main advantage here is that the app kills itself and the acessibility service also kills itself so the service only runs for 0,03 seconds while turning the screen off.
You also get a "Lock" quicksettings tile that does the same and a "NFC" tile that activates and deactivates the NFC directly through the tile, updating the status dinamically.
Advantages versus other apps like Tasker:
- Zero background services
- Zero battery usage
- No continuous acessibility services that change how apps behave and introduce lag (see: https://www.xda-developers.com/working-as-intended-an-exploration-into-androids-accessibility-lag/ )
To achieve this the app uses the android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS.
Install instructions:
Install the APK, than go to acessibility and try to activate the service, it will be greyed out. Go back to apps, find the app and press the 3 dot sign on the top right, press allow blocked authorizations or something like that.
Then go to ADB (search on XDA or the web if you dont know how to do that) and give the SECURE_SETTINGS authorization with:
Code:
adb shell pm grant com.buildingromspt.lockandnfc android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
After that the app is ready, use the launcher icon or the quicksettings tile to lock the screen or use the NFC to turn it on or off.
Enjoy!

Pretty cool! Nice work! This was one of my main gripes as well. I just picked up the s23 Ultra which does have the NFC quick setting, but I'll have to give this a try when I flip back to the Pixel for a change of pace.
I'd be interested in a similar solution for a WiFi quick setting - a few less clicks than drilling into Internet first.
Thanks for sharing!
I'm planning on adding a wifi and a Android Auto tile when I have time
Fantastic !! Something i was waiting for a long time on a Pixel ! Thanks for your great job ! I agree for a wifi tile and a transparent widget for lock the screen if it's possible ?
Thanks again.

Unless the power button is broken or something, I think the hardware buttons are good enough to last a really long time. Other components are likely to fail before the buttons do.

It's easy/fast to lock your smartphone with double tap on the home screen, than try to find the power button at night, specially when you come from an Xiaomi MI 10 with reversed volume and power buttons.
And by the way...
Are the hardware buttons on Google Pixel 7 good enough to last a really long time?

Getting used to the buttons is just a matter of time. I would rather get used to the different layout than have an app that runs with Accessibility 24x7.

Due to Android security restrictions an app has no access to user input if it's not running in foreground. So overlay etc to run the drawer or action without switching activities. I hope this clarifies, thanks.
Just bought a Pro version. Thanks!
Anyway, is there any easy way to restart the app if I have changed some settings?

Most of the settings should refresh without app restart. To fully make all settings effective you can close the Gesture drawer with back button on device and reopen it.

Get HomeTouch from Playstore
HomeTouch is a tool that help fingerprint sensor to work for you beyond its original authentication function. It transforms the little used fingerprint sensor into a powerful controlling touch point.
HomeTouch enables touching fingerprint sensor to control your phone. It can replace your Home button, or Back button, Screen Off button, Recent Apps button. It can also pull down notification bar and quick setting drawer from the top of the screen. For light version, you can pick one of the above functions. Sound and vibration feed back upon touching is selectable.
For Pro version : It provides you with PRO short touch and long touch actions - thus give you more comfort and increase your efficiency using your phone. Besides performing one of the above functions, it allows turning on the camera, taking a screen shot, and especially toggle HomeTouch's control desk from any screen to perform most of your daily activities: adjust ring and media volume, screen brightness, display time-out, open calendar, calculator, telephone, sms, mail, browser, set alarms, open previous applications, screen rotation locks, toggle flash light, launch any custom application or open any custom document. It can even control media player.
Moreover, long touch can also be used to switch applications just as using Alt+Tab in Windows. Switching back and forth between recent applications has never been so easy with this one-touch concept implemented in HomeTouch.
With HomeTouch, your fingerprint sensor becomes much more valuable and useful !
Note:
- Please read HomeTouch description in Playstore for more information before installing/using HomeTouch
- Latest new release version 2.1 is just launched recently
- Initially HomeTouch is made for Samsung phone, but now it can also work on a number of other phones besides Samsung.
Great working good on Note 4,and yes its selectable.
Rated 5 stars
Thank Sibinn
It's great to hear that HomeTouch also works on Note 4. Let me know if any issues.

hi. how will this affect battery? it's working on galaxy s6 btw
Hi n3loki
It consumes little battery, less than 1% daily provided that you don't open it settings inteface too often.

Working great on my s7 edge. The fact that the turn off screen works without the need for root access and also does not mess with my screen timeout is all I need. Just bought the pro key so I can hide the notification. Great job on this wonderful app for samsung galaxy devices! :good:
Nice apps. Need more features.

HomeTouch has some interesting features in the PRO version. I especially recomment the quick control desk feature, which I will extend more functionalities. My preference is: short touch to navigate to home, long touch to toggle control desk.

Hi All
V1.4 of HomeTouch has been up with lots of new features and a dark theme for control desk, hope you like it.
Link are here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codelavie.tryspass
NOTE: V1.4 also support NON Samsung mobile phones, provided that they run Android 6 and above.
All the very best,
HomeTouchDev
Just updated mine to the latest version. I Like that we can now choose which color theme we can use ( yey dark theme! ) and navigate to home screen responds faster upon tapping the fingerprint scanner. Great job! :good:
Must be back button support.
Hi,
I appreciate your comments very much.
Short touch action takes shortest delay if there is no long touch action set.
Back action will be included in next update. I have been wondering if anyone requests it, now there is.
HomeTouchDev
I bought this app with back button support expectation.
Great!
Great job! Far better than EasyHome that stops working all the time.
But unfortunately, I did not find at exceptions a process/app that could add to keep
fingerprint working on samsung pass over Internet Browser for example. Add Samsung Pass App
did not work. In Easy Home app, I used sucessfully the "Android" process for this task.
Any sugestion to deal with this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Hi rogeriofosky,
In Exceptions, we can tick several apps, and when one of them become the foreground app, HomeTouch should stop accessing the finger print sensor. For example, if you tick Browser, then when you open Browser, HomeTouch should let that Browser to use the fingerprint sensor.
The other way to do this is the 3' exception Button: first you open the Browser, then make a long touch to show the Control Desk, and tap the 3' button on that Control Desk, it will ask for your confirmation to except the Browser for 3 minutes. In that 3 minutes, if you open Browser again, it will leave the finger print sensor for the Browser to use. Have you tried this ? it is working ? Please let me know also your mobile phone model and the particular app that you want to exclude if HomeTouch is not working like described above.
Thanks,
HomeTouchDev

That is auto rotate off.. you can turn on auto rotate and it will be gone... If you don't want to turn on auto rotate, you can use System UI Tuner app to remove that icon...

You could install tap, tap and set the double tap on back to turn the screen off. Can't think of another way that would avoid the button on the side.

The only one launcher that I've found for this feature was Lawnchair v2 (from Playstore), also, does not mess up with Android 11 gestures.
I use the Double Tap but not sure if it will run on Q or higher.
On Playstore, no ads, no internet connection, very small, uses almost no battery and runs flawlessly.
2X tap on/off; I rarely use the power button.

No ads, and doesn't connect to internet.

Double Tap - Apps on Google Play
Easy to turn on/off screen without power. Not affected to unlock by fingerprint

I optimized things a little more and went for Single Tap (haha). I'm using "Turn Off Screen" from the Play Store. Basically a nice little "Lock" icon on the home screen. Click... screen is off.

I blew that one off because it connects with the internet. Has Administrator permissions, right?
Not a good idea if so.
Double Tap never connects and has no ads.
Currently "Turn Off Screen (Lock Screen)" is running great and has "No Permissions Granted".

Power menu controls
Android 11 has a power menu which is mostly used for home controls. But if you are not using any smart home appliance, the space is basically wasted.
This app adds handy device toggles to the space.
Examples:
Rotation lock
Wake lock
Screen timeout
Brightness toggles
Media volume toggles

All these are NOT available in the Quick Tiles on a standard Google ROM. For example, Wake Lock & Volume. Also, the dev is asking for suggestions, so YOU could ask for something that is not available as a quick tile.

Nice app!
I would like to launch apps, like GCAM and standard Camera in selfie mode (using a shortcut or an intent).
(It may be possible to use Tasker for this.)
One use case is to do actions without unlocking the phone (gloves, sweaty fingers etc).
The behavior on My Sony Xperia 5 ii if the phone is locked is that I need to enable flashlight, then the lockscreen opens and I have to press the Power once to turn off the screen before the flash turns on.

I love the features added. But since you ask
The wake-Lock is commonly labeled as "Caffeine" in the custom ROMs I have used before (its normally featured as a QuickTile)
The Caffeine feature normally allows some default break-points in time for when it will automatically turn off. eg 5min, 10min, 30min or never.

Hello, great app I have only two notes.
Please add possibility to keep default brightness in WAKE LOCK mode (I use Mi A3 based on Android ONE and with button active it keeps screen awake, but after some time screen dimms)
Another point is to add button which would turn on MAX BRIGHTNESS (very helpful in some cases) and.. if possible such button would switch off/on AUTOMATIC BRIGHTNESS button simultaneously, or simply restore default system AUTOMATIC BRIGHTNESS settings after switching off the button.
Have been a great fan of Vivid Navigation Gestures for years, until I switched over to Xiaomi 12S Ultra and realized I couldn't make it work despite disabling all battery optimizations & enabling all permissions. Which gestures app can work properly without it closing by itself after long lock periods, and allow me to disable the navbar?

all of them can do it you just need to know what to change in miui settings.
I use FNG.
* disable miui battery optimization
* enable autostart
* go to apps -> system app settings -> security -> boost speed -> lock apps (enable fng)
* pull down notification shade and switch to toggles, click on the edit icon. drag the fng toggle to your "added toggles"
in the rare case where FNG is shut down you can just pull down the toggles shade disable enable it and you're back in business.

Try FNG instead. I got max 3 restarts a day
3 a day is still a lot. Is there any gestures app that has a no-kill notification service?
In addition, that app was not maintained since 2019

3 is better than 10, I don't know why it happens. If you are rooted you can try making this an admin app. Maybe that will prevent it from restarting
is there any easy way to root the phone without bricking it? Thank you.
This is the solution. Need to stop Miui from closing app.
Swipe up and hold to enter app tabs. Press and hold on FNG, then press the lock icon.
This stops the system from closing.
as shown in screenshots above, locking it doesn't prevent auto-close by system.

Oh I forgot to mention I'm on Xiaomi.eu rom.
can I port to eu ROM while maintaining all my apps, configs, settings?
No. It may be a different ROM branch and may have different partition differences as well as system apps being non Chinese versions. You might find it just boot loops if you do.
Just make sure you back everything in Google back up and have it set for auto restore and most settings and apps will get put back on with settings via the Google back up after you configure the Google account once flashed and formatted.

Finally I think I found a way to make FluidNG working without any breaks. Just use tasker and create a task that FluidNG (or your favourite gesture app) starts when you unlock your screen. Second: launch app "go to home screen". That's it. Working for a few days perfectly.
