Is it possible to modify the behavior of the screen tap in such a way:
If
tap when screen is dim then don't do anything but brighten the display
else if
tap when screen is already bright then interact with screen as usual
Basically trying to avoid the device from opening an app when I only want to tap the screen to brighten the display.
that's actually a really good idea!
Thanks, i hope there is a reg mod that can be included in Advanced Config and/or Keiser Tweak tool(s)..........that thing always bothered me, I have to carefully tap on the task bar area since rest of the screen is almost full of things
lol.. that's pretty funny.. i was just thinking about it today.
Good idea, hope someone comes up with something!
What I used to do so far is press UP on the D-pad. Usually does no harm when the device is just standing by.

My X1 won't wake up to the panels, it wakes up to TF3D i have installed... is there a way to have it wake up to the 9 panel page? Like a cab, reg edit or something?
I've searched and haven't found anything...
Thanks in advance!
create a shortcut of panelmanager.exe in Program Files\PanelManager and put it in windows\startup
edit: noticed you said wake up...the solution i've posted should work when you turn the phone on. Not for wake up though.
yeah, thanks for the insight tho bro... id really like to see wake up in panels view...
If you want your phone to wake up to the panel you used the last:
When you are using S2U2 then switch off the option for "unlock to home".
Also uncheck Start --> Properties --> Today --> Elements --> show today screen after xxx hours.
If you want the phone to wake up into the "Panel selection screen" -this won't be possible, I fear.
found a partial work around... under backlight settings, i uncheck turn odd device after X minutes... that way, if i turn my backlight off when in 9 panel mode, it will always wake up to it... basically it will wake up where u left it! this will work for now til a real fix/tweak comes along

I don't think that there will be a "fix" because there is no "issue".
The phone is not meant to wake up to the panel selection screen. This would be as if my home computer would boot to the taskmanager or I would enter a house through the elevator and not through the front door
I don't really want to know why you want your phone to wake up the the panel selection because I'm sure you have your reasons but you seem to be one in a million to like such a behaviour.
If I would have to choose a panel first everytime I wake up the phone to see the clock or the calender or the messages I would bring it back to the store the same day and buy another one.

well, i wear a wrist watch and tapping a panel to check messages isn't that big of a deal to me... and altho its not a "fix", it will be more of a "Tweak"...
But, i plan on taking a crack at creating my own panels (not sure how difficult it would be) and that way i can put specific programs to launch from panels, for example Opera or a specific media player...
All i can say is "to each his own" mah man....
maybe i feel this way because i've had a Touch Pro for a while now and am kind of tired of TF3D (altho it is nice to have on the X1), but i recieved this x1 as a generous bday gift from a friend today and am infatuated with these panels!
this is a guide for Samsung mobile phones who'd like the function of LG tap to wake\lock the screen
using only apps and nova launcher prime.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Su2WwTfH-y0
Tap to Wake/Lock screen Guide is for Samsung Amoled device Only\for all any device with amoled screen/
things you need to know before we start -
you'll have to use Nova Launcher Prime (can be purchased trough the free version) as your primary launcher.
set up your nova launcher prime as your default launcher and continue to the next step
The next step we will have to use two applications-
The first is
Screen Off And Lock
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...e/apps/details?id=tecnology.angs.knockr&hl=en...
Once you've installed it open up the application there are things set up and its easy to get confused,
set up the settings like i did one by one.
When you first open the app it will take you trough a small tutorial that will require you to create a simple Knock Code (Were going to remove this one later on)
When you're done you'll be taken to settings under the "Gestures Settings" menu -
all options are marked to do "Nothing" except
Double Tap - set it to Screen On
swipe right in the app to Knocks Settings - Do not bother to remove the code that is there by default - do not remove the code - instead set it to do nothing and swipe left again to the last and most important menu -Settings -
Fill \ Mark V according to the to my settings as the following -
Screen type - Black Screen
Power Management - V
Capacitive Buttons - V
Screen Locked - V
Action Type - Gestures (this is most important) !!!
Everything else is unmarked except the settings that are unchangeable by default.
were Almost done -
Returning to the settings menu in the Nova Launcher
Enter the Gestures & Inputs
scroll down and click on Double Tap
Now we have entered the list the top three sub menus -
NOVA - APPS - SHORTCUTS ׁׁ
Go to APPS and scroll down until you see
"Screen off" (not the "off and Lock Screen Configuration")
After we set off the Screen You can tap the screen two times and the configuration screen opens here - also follow closely after my settings (prove to work best) to preserve battery life and cause all this process to work like in the video
Screen off and Lock Configuration settings - everything should be umarked and all il sound options are Disabled (to my taste) - the only thing I marked was
Use relock workaround 1.
Everything else should not be marked (as recommended for better battery life)
This is it, you can start and enjoy your Samsung with LG's tap to wake
its not perfect but its very convinent
this is my first guide on xda!
edit: right now night clock is not co-operating with this tweak, if you want your night clock to work set the information stream timeout to 30 seconds or more.
while night clock screen is on tap to wake does not work untill it sleeps again or pressing the physical lock button.
works brilliantly - thank you
It's worth noting that these kind of mods will keep your screen digitizer on all the time and probably will cause a battery drain. just FYI

i assume that the black pixels on amoled screen does not trigger battery drain...
anyway on Lg's the digitizer has to work as well to acknowledge the double tap,
i am only a novice would be happy to learn, i really enjoy this function but will surely remove it if it hurts my battery life...
so is there any other solution?

He's talking about the digitizer which must constantly wait for touch input, not the display. He's quite probably correct.
it sleeps again or pressing the physical lock button.
Got me excited untill I read it was only for Nova Launcher.
Having one for Touchwiz......now that's a neat trick.
I miss it.....I still double tap my screen all the time.
Couldn't it be set to use the acceleromator (sp)? It wouldn't turn the digitizer on unless it detected a quick jolt? It would then need to be a 3 tap to wake so it could first wake up and then detect the 2 taps, but that's just a guess...

I'm afraid there isn't. All mods that make the screen work when the phone is in deep sleep will deplete battery life in some way. The information stream is one of them. My battery life improved substantially as soon as I turned this off. Anyway, we have a home button on this device so no need to reach for the power button in awkward places like other devices. Enjoy the home button and forget about these mods. Just my opinion.
i tried this on my s6 without nova and it work fine...the knock on work just fine...now need to monitor battery for a day or two to see if it drains abnormally. thanks @mosesbd for solving my only grudge with samsung phone...
I'm used this for long times ago, but it drain phone's battery. Because it just turns off the screen but not deep-sleep.
Update the links, the links don't work, but search for the apps in the app store and you should be fine
Not sure if the drain would be too much. My old BB Z10 I used for work had a similar function. Swipe up and it would wake and unlock. Battery was great.
The Lumia 1020 I use as my personal line has double tap to wake and battery life is great. Having the feature along with Glance didn't make much of a difference in battery life for me.
May or may not make a big difference on a phone that didn't have this functionality built in.
Thx thats great
Waiting for battery life reply
N i have issue
The back key n multitasking lights up when locking the screen. ..
Why ??

thanks, it should be fine now.
hello, compared to the gesture wake up which one drains more battery?
If screen is set for 15s, battery drainage isn't a huge problem. It's fine in my opinion on the latest firmware.
Do use this n enjoy tap-to-screen off
If you guys are worried about battery drain, then try this app out........360 Hibernation Master. I've had it for months now and it WORKS LIKE A CHARM! It basically shuts down all your apps when screen is off (including data and Wi-Fi), but you can STILL get texts (SMS & MMS), IMs, e-mails, calls, etc. I go to bed with 100% power, and wake up 7 hours later........ it's STILL at 100% (or else 99%)!!!!!!! The problem with Samsung's and other phones' "Power Saver Mode" is that they cause issues with incoming group and/or photo (aka, MMS) text messages, but this one DOESN'T! Costs $1.95 for full version (you upgrade WITHIN the app), but WELL worth it!!
Note: If you game a lot though, you MAY notice a slight decrease in speed. But if you're like me and NOT a gamer, then I think it will work just fine for what we're doing here. I haven't tested it though, so if someone wants and report back here, go ahead! I have the Sony Xperia Z3, but I just pre-ordered the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, so when I get it, I'll post back here to let you know if it works or not. But if you have a Samsung phone now, go for it! And let us know!
Got it a couple of hours ago and I''m wondering if there's any way round having to press the home button to unlock the phone, like being able to just rest my finger on the pad to wake it and unlock.
Any idea how to enable double tap to wake up the S7 edge? Just a new user coming from the xperia Z2.

I'd also love to know hopefully it's possible.
Nearest thing I've found so far is to enable edges then when screen is off, swipe up and down to show the edge content at which point you can unlock via fingerprint reader.

Not really, only the other way round, press the home button and leave the finger on it and it will unlock straight away.

Not possible unfortunately. The method Tectas explained above, is the quickest way.

Found this way to, but would prefer an easier one.
Well I have tried a few tap to wake apps and they all fail. This is making me think that the always on display is actually an app in its own right meaning the tap to wake apps don't activate. Any thoughts my learned colleagues?
Gotta push the button. I understand you want to just rest your finger and let it unlock (like nexus 6P) but is it really that hard to put little bit of pressure to actually push the button and just leave your finger there like you would have with a 6P? Only step you're doing is moving your finger 1/40 of an inch to actuate the button lol.
Partial success! Following this guide for the S6 edge I can have tap to wake working http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/tap-to-wake-samsung-device-t3141850
The snag is, and here's the new challenge, to have either AOD or edge clock working whilst it's asleep.
@razorseal : it's not a biggie, I am just trying to recreate the functionality of Windows phones as it was a beautiful workflow that I'd like to keep of glance screen and DT2W/DT2S.
So I'm thinking it's an app like Knockr I need but one which somehow allows AOD to work. Any suggestions welcome - I'm not averse to rooting to achieve this.
Getting closer still. So I uninstalled all that stuff from the link above and put this app on: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.orthur.always_on_display&hl=en
It has an AOD display which if you put your finger on the pad it reads the print and unlocks. It does have a double tap to wake as well which can be used to open the lock screen and then do the fingerprint.
So now I just need a double tap to sleep app then if the battery drain isn't too crazy, the mission is complete.
Anyone know a good double tap to sleep app that isn't a floating widget? Something like on CM13 whereby you double tap the status bar and it goes to sleep would be good.
You could always enable the 'Easy screen turn on' feature, which can be found by going to 'Accessibility' and then 'Dexterity and Interaction'....
I believe this was previously known as 'Air View'.
I hope this helps.

This will probably drain your battery too much. Many of these (root-less) apps keep the AMOLED screen on but with a black rectangle displayed so it looks like it's off. But don't fall into the "AMOLED black does not consume power" lie. There is an entire system powering the screen that consumes power.

Yep this is the easiest solution folks. It's what I use. Just a simple wave or swipe finger over the proximity sensor, device wakes up. There is also a setting elsewhere that stops the phone from waking up if its in your pocket or so, so good idea to use that too.

Quite a nice solution. I wonder if it has any impact on battery, since the proximity sensor is probably always-on ?
I still hate Samsung for not implementing double tap to wake. I mean, they copy everything from Apple, but they can't copy a really useful feature like this from LG (or whoever had it first without battery drain) ?

Answer to your question is Nova Launcher Pro. You can use the double tap gesture to lock the screen, no widgets required. Let me know if you have any confusion with that. The only downside with that is when I wake the phone back up, it says and I quote "Enter PIN instead of using fingerprint recognition because of security policy". It's quite a big deal for me, having to type in the PIN instead of just resting my finger on the home button. Still searching an answer for that. If anyone has found a workaround/solution, please let me know.
PS: Sorry, I had to cut the playstore link from your original message, XDA forums won't let me post with a link in it.
---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 PM ----------
So, I researched a bit and found a workaround. I am not allowed to post links here, so, find an app called 'Screen Lock Pro' from the Play Store. Its by a developer called Prahallad and costs $2.37. Then activate it as a device administrator, go to setting and enable 'Smart Lock and Nexus Imprint'. Then go back to your Nova Launcher settings, into 'Gestures & Inputs'. Select 'Double Tap' under gestures and select the shortcuts tab on the top. From there, select the 'Screen Lock Pro (Shortcut)' and you're done. There are a ton of other features in the app and I am still trying them all out one by one.
I hate lock screens so I disable them. If the fingerprint reader were better I'd seriously consider using it to unlock the phone, but it isn't.
My problem now is the "second" lock screen on this phone. Not sure if this is an andorid thing or an EUI thing, since I haven't used android 6.0+ before.
Essentially, I need my home screen to appears when I click the power button. Is that possible? If so, what setting am I missing to disable this screen with the time and camera icon on it?
What is this SECOND LOCK SCREEN?
What issues are you having with Fingerprint? Mine has worked flawlessly.
You have already disabled the block screen on the phone?

So it turns out its just the regular lock screen. The best I can seem to do is set the auto-lock to 30 minutes - this is the maximum time out. This is better, but I want NO lock screen. Does anyone know if this is possible? Some setting I am missing?
I dunno about the fingerprint reader. I'm no apple fan boy but I have to use one for work, and the fingerprint reader on apple devices is far superior, so I'm spoiled with my expectations. The better solution for me is to just get rid of the lock screen.

Ahem the FP of Le Pro 3 or any Android phone out there is far superior because you can unlock the phone even if the screen is off.
Can't find a setting either; if set to none you still have to slide up the lock screen. Other phones I've had remove it all together if set to none.
Finger print sensor on mine seems fine, so i just use that.
Freezing 'System Interface 6.0.1' in Titanium gets rid of lock screen, but has some serious side effects.

This worked for me:
After pressing Power or scanning Finger Print the ``Second Lock Screen´´ pops up, don´t slide to unlock or press any of the icons or ads, instead look for three little pale white dots on upper left corner of display, (they are hard to notice with some wallpapers, specially the included on the phone wallpapers) almost like the ones in some browsers to deploy a menu, press that, and the Locker app should pop up asking you if you want to disable it, press Disable and that should do it!
If you can´t see them try setting a lock screen wallpaper that has solid dark colors on the upper part of the screen.
I don't understand the problem but I've been using this for 1 year
