Theirs a app called touch control that will let you slide at the bottom to sleep and has other
things such as double tap to wake or slide to wake pretty cool app to have its on the play store
Install Screen off and Lock from Play and set a double tap to launch 'Screen Off' under Nova>Gestures...>Double tap>Apps.
Thanks

The new LG G2 has "knock knock" double tap to turn screen on and off, but installing a launcher like Nova disables the ability to turn the screen off with double tap, as that is one of Nova's native gestures. Using "Screen of and Lock" was a great solution to getting this back as a means to turn off the screen. It is useful on the LG G2 because the power button is now located on the back of the phone.
Thanks

Thank you so much. That works great.
I have an s3 running slimkat 4.4 but I also have nova launcher, for me the double tap is over the camera/brightness sensor and that makes it sleep.
Cheers,
Nick
Great fix

Oh my god this is amazing for my G3. I didn't even think of this. Thanks!
Some ROMs like C-ROM and LiquidSmooth have the "Screen Off" shortcut, so you don't have to download a 3rd party app. Gestures > Double Tap > Actions > Screen Off
I'm on Purity 4.4.4 and the double tap to sleep on the statusbar has been one of the most handy features so far. You can save your power button on any screen, not just the desktop.
Mahdi ROM also has this feature, as well as different custom kernels
Sadly on the N4 to have slide2wake you will need some compromises like touchscreen remaining active during call when s2w enabled.
To enable it flash hellscore kernel latest and trickster mod or swipe2wake from play store.
Be aware of the active touch durng calls

Double tap to unlock works with Nova Launcher if the device is locked via the back button. What I am looking to do is double tap to turn off.
Any ideas or help in configuring the Nova double tap function to execute this action?

Double tap the notification bar. You can probably set it up to shut off home screen taps too with gestures - i'd assume.

I guess this is what I'm looking for. Which setting it is to assign to the gesture of double tap in NL settings.
For now, the double tap of the notification bar works great.

What you could do is get screen off and on from the playstore and then assign that to the double-tap gesture. Hope that helps.
Thanks wargreymon89 - installing now. seems like a perfect fix.
In Nova launcher you can assign an activity for a double tap...anyone know what activity "knock knock" is? Ive went through the list a few times and couldn't figure it out.

Tried a few things, ended up using Screen Off and Lock from play store. Works like a champ. Just set double tap to shortcut, activity, then screen off and Lock.

Truck,
I assume you have Nova Launcher Prime then? I just have the regular version. Please confirm. I would love to have double tap capability again on my HTC One M8 like I did with my previous phone, the LG G2.
My M8 has double tap to WAKE already installed. Will doing this disrupt that, or just add to it? Please confirm.
Thanks,

No, you should be fine. The double tap to sleep works on the homescreen of Nova Prime, and then you already have double tap to wake on the M8. There won't be any disruptions.
Is it still not native within Nova Launcher like KKLauncher or Smart Launcher?
Do we still need third party app?
Quick question, are you guys just turning off your screen, or turning off AND locking? I'm looking to JUST turn off.
Hello,
For those wanting to use Nova Launcher and still retain the double tap 'KnockOff' feature, I finally got it working via the procedure below. Note that this requires the paid version of Nova.. Hope this helps someone!
1. Download "Turn off the Screen" from the play store (it is free)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=turn.off.the.lights&hl=en
2. Open the installed app and click "Enable Now"
3. Open up Nova Settings -> Gestures and buttons -> Double tap -> Shortcuts -> Activities
4. Scroll to "Turn off the Screen" and expand the options. Choose "Turn Off The Screen : LockerActivity"
That's it. You should now be able to click anywhere on the nova desktop without an app / widget and it will turn off the screen as the stock LG KnockOff does. Note that I began with the "Screen Off and Lock" app, but this ignored the LG setting to not lock the screen for 10min and forces immediate PIIN entry upon unlock.
Cheers
If you knock on the status bar, the screen turns off with nova....no special software needed
Can the knock knock be turned off completely?

This can also be done pretty easily with Nova and Tasker. Love this feature. I almost never have to use the hard buttons on this phone.
Excellent..

You can try Screen Off and Lock from playstore, in Nova Double Tap Gesture activies take MainHelper from Screen Off and Lock.
Beautiful
It really works.
Are there any codes or shortcuts or custom apps I can create to turn off the screen (emulate knock off or power button being pressed)
Not rooted stock AT&T G2.

It's also an action in Tasker.
What I do, is use Nova Prime launcher. You need the paid prime to enable double tap options. Point the double tap option to the screen off app.
Then whenever you double tap in the launcher, the device turns off, just like Stock.
Thanks a bunch, most apps for this had bad reviews related to spamming ads. That's why I wanted to check what you guys would suggest.
I thought it would be as easy as just creating a small app myself with a single line of code.
Player911 I actually wanted to get a button so when there is no room on home screen to tap I would use the button instead. I wish we could replace the quick shortcuts in LG G2 that show up with swipe from bottom, add sleep option or turn off screen option.

But won't turn on, right?
Maybe I'm just overlooking something obvious - but is there a way (other than the button on the back) to turn off the primary display??
I have figured out that i can double tap to wake. But haven't figured out bow to turn off.
Disregard. Found out that i can double tap status bar for knock on feature to turn off.
You should be able to double tap home screen as well to turn off

I think this has to be an empty spot on home screen. I use 5x5 and keep it pretty packed - so that doesn't work for me. But you are correct

Keep in mind you can also double tap the notification bar if space is at a premium... I'm using Nova Launcher so only the notification bar works, which is good enough for me...

Yes - this is what i use now. Will take some getting used to, but seems easy enough to adjust to.
I'm using Nova Prime and double tap on and off work fine. No need to use notification bar to tap off here. I can double tap any empty spot on any screen and it will turn off.
If it doesn't work like that for you - must be something else.
1. Do you have Nova Prime, or Free?
2. Do you use live wallpaper?

This does work. I use the stock launcher. There's just not a lot of open real estate on my home screen. Also doesnt work outside of home screen (that I've noticed). So status bar has been OK.
When XPOSED eventually comes to Nougat there was an option in some of the old G3/G4 Tweakboxes (which ran on the G5, V10, etc) to double tap the navigation bar as well as the status bar.
I got very accustom to that so hopefully that will become an option in the future as well.
For now, I am using Nova Prime Double tap to run a tasker task that executes a shell command (as root) to emulate the power button press. This will turn off the display and still allow you to wake it back up with the fingerprint sensor since other methods make use of the device administrator and require a pin/password/knock-code to unlock.

Hi, is any way for double tap the screen and wake up the phone or show the screen notifications?

I didn't notice any increased usage of battery.
Any other options? because i want tap the phone an wake up.
I have Nova Launcher, maybe this app can help?
When we will have sources and custom kernels or roms, this feature will be possible.
Right now, no way Jose
No, Nova Launcher don't have any options for that.
I hope that the kernel will be released soon... The double tap wakeup is on my wishlist as well!
" Gravity screen " is another app that you can use.
