haha.
well to each his own right?
i like the ui cause of the tap-tap. i know cm11 has it but only in the status bar which is annoying for me. well it was worth a try.

What's "tap tap" ? Knock On? It works fine on various ROMs. And Knock-Off only works in the launcher or status bar on the stock ROM anyway.
My solution? Knock On and use AOKP and put a power button on my navbar. So I can turn on and turn off from the screen (in any app).

i know it only works with the launcher... i do own the phone...you know what i meant by tap tap. thats what im actually looking for is the launcher.

Why don't you just download a screen off app like this, Nova or Apex and set double tap gesture to launch screen off. It will be pretty much the same as the stock knock off feature.

Trying this right now

I have knock on and off using cm11. For knock off I am using apex laucher's double tap behavior setting linking to a "turn off screen" app. Yeah it's not built in but it's a solution.

When you are on the apex (or nova) launcher, yes. You might have to set the double tap gesture as a shortcut rather than the app itself for it to properly function.

Did you download a "screen off" app from the play store and activate it? There are a couple of them. What I am saying is that you might have to shortcut one of the apps actions in order to get it to work. If you just set the app to the gesture you'll end up opening the settings.

Confirmed working. Thank you

There are SEVERAL SOLUTIONS for this:
1. On AOSP/CM11 Roms, Knock ON will always work. It is a kernel feature and is not new. Custom Kernels have been doing this for a long time. So KnockOn is taken care of.
KnockOff Talk:
2. Purchase a Launcher that supports Double Tap such as Nova Prime. Download a Free app that locks the screen. Set Nova Double Tab to launch the ScreenLocker. Boom.
OR
3. Install LG Home Launcher that has this built in. Boom.
4. Find the AOSP KnockOff StatusBar mod in the forums. This gives the ability to DoubleTap the status bar in any app, just like LG does.
The Launcher is a different issue for KnockOff. I've never looked into it, but you'd need a lockscreen that supports double tap and launching of apps while locked. Another solution would be to try to find the LG Lockscreen app or have your favorite Dev try to port it over. IMO I really love the LG Lockscreen since you can swipe anywhere on the screen to unlock and assign quick shortcuts. Also the ability to assign a custom lockscreen wallpaper. LG Lockscreen > AOSP Lockscreen IMO.
But even with Nova Double Tap > Launch Screen Locker... that gets you 90% of the way there. Lockscreen and Status bar are just extras.

Is it possible to make knock off and knock on work on other launchers and lockers

It'll be awesome if knock on and off works with other launchers and lock screens !! Is it even possible to make it work !? Just asking for opinions coz it's the only thing that stops me from using any other launchers and lock screens !! I wish if it was possible

if your running the stock lg software then you should be able to double tap the notification bar at the top to use the knock knock feature!

It is awesome, and I know you can do it with nova launcher. That's what I'm using and I've got knock on and off.

So you can't turn on the screen with double tap if you have Nova or Apex as the main launcher?
Didn't know that!

yea that's a sad fact because some of us like different launcher, it also applies with some widgets too

Knock on works regardless, some ROMs have knock off through nova settings gestures and buttons - double tap - shortcuts - custom shortcuts - go to sleep

okay let me specify the knock on double tap to wake the device should work regardless of launcher but the knock off double tap for screen off only works with the stock launcher

Knock on works fine with Nova launcher. Knock off only works if you double tap the status bar.
However, as previously mentioned by @Art Vanderlay, using Nova gestures it is possible to have a fully working knock off.
Personally I use Nova > gestures > double tap > shortcuts > gravity box > go to sleep.
*I am using a custom stock ROM

A good solution!
A good solution would be asigning "double click" gesture to screen lock. What I found very useful and fully working is to install "Lock" shortcut which "elias.grande" has created and can be downloaded from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799265
Although he made this APK for rooted device to modify "Quick Launch", it can be installed on non-rooted devices as a shortcut to lock screen. So I suggest you to download "QuickLaunchLock.apk"!

I've been using this app: Screen off and lock by Katecca
in conjunction with Nova launcher.
Knock on as previously mentioned will continue to work with Nova regardless, no no need to do anything.
After you install the above app, go into Nova settings "Gestures and Buttons" -> pick the "Double Tap" gesture -> select "Screen Off" from the app list and voila you are good to go.
Now the double tap to lock your device works from anywhere on your screen again and not just from the notification bar area.
Cheers!

Gestures support on SGY ?

Just a simple question, is this gesture support could be integrated on our phone ? For exemple, when the phone is locked, double tap the screen which makes the phone to wake etc...
I heard it's a kernel feature, i wish we could add it to CM kernel or else as SGY have a proximity sensor so i thought it could be nice, Maybe we'll be able to create our custom gesture to perform custom actions and stuff... ^^
I'm just curious

Double tap to wake is a kernel feature - I don't have knowledge of kernels so don't know if it can be implemented but it will most likely drain the battery
Any other gesture eg Swipe up to launch phone will be down to your launcher
Nova launcher is a good launcher with gesture support (requires 4.0+)
Gingerbread launchers look at holo launcher or adw launcher for examples

ASUS Launcher and battery life

I noticed that when I switched to Nova my battery life increased 20-25%... something in the stock launcher is chewing up battery life

Really? Gosh. I must try. So u installed nova and freezed the default asus launcher? May i know what are the apps you freezed?

Woah nice. I would like to know more about your setup, please. I couldn't care less what launcher I use. I thought using the default one is the more battery friendly, but I'm open to other option if that's not the case.

It seems also better working if you shut down the phone during night. Maybe the battery can rest a bit
Edit : I feel also improvement Nova launchers.
Sad that the gestures are not working with the default Nova Launcher.
I am nearly a 5 hours SOT and i never succeeded so far. I have 20% battery remaining.
I have installed Tap screen ON/Off to at least be able to unlock the phone with double tap.
The issue is that Tap screen is always awake and so taking lot of battery when the screen if off. No choice, going back to stock launcher, at least there the gestures are not consuming the battery when the screen if off.
If anyone has a better software gesture to lock and unlock with double tap, feel free to update.

I read that the paid version of Nova launcher has the double tap to wake up. You'll still need the doble tap the notification bar to make it sleep though. Give it a try.

And zenui interface consuming almost 150mb from background

Could you confirm this that the gestures are working ? If it is the case, i will then buy the paid version.
I only saw on internet double tap to sleep the phone, not to make him awake.
I am testing Hola launcher which is quiet good, i see just that the System UI is taking a bit more CPU but when the phone is off, nothing is awake.
Hole launcher is really light but i don't think i will have battery improvement with this launcher.

double tap to wake: built in with the stock ROM
double to sleep: just configure the double tap gesture inside NOVA settings > gestures and inputs.
you may download screen on off and assign it in double tap or just use greenify's shortcut to hybernate and lock screen.

Thanks, it works wonderfull, i will see how long my battery does now remain.

What's wrong with Google now launcher I think it's a better alternative to the stock launcher.

I'm using Action Launcher, it has doubletap2sleep in all the screen, but I don't know wether it enhances battery life or not.

Indeed, Nova is nearly stopping battery drain, i feel the difference. I can now browse on the internet and notice the number of the battery is not getting so fast lower.
There is clearly an issue in the stock launcher.

double tap to sleep works from the lockscreen but once in Nova, double tapping the screen does nothing and there is no sleep setting in the gesture settings...
THIS SEEMS TO BE A FIX FOUND ON REDDIT
Grab this app
Open Nova settings
Gestures and Buttons
Double tap
Apps -> Screen Off

Okay I have tried Nova Launcher for a week or so now, and I think I might be staying.
I initially just wanted to test it for the claim of extra battery life, but now that I'm using it, it's just way better than the stock launcher.
As for the claim to better battery life, I havent noticed any difference. Yet, i hope.

Furthermore, I love the new "normalise icon" feature. It works beautifully.

+1 for Nova. If you got the $50 credit, get Nova Prime (paid), although test out the free one first to see if you like it.

I like Action Launcher 3 better than Nova but the latter is as good as it gets if you want to set up the phone old school. Realistically everyone should have a second launcher installed off the market just to get the backup for a corrupt stock launcher. You don't have to use it but if the stock launcher is hosed Android will start the phone up with the second which will allow you to get through your day and deal with the fix later.
Perhaps someone else will flesh this out for you but the reason people are saying install another launcher may be because you didn't used to be able to rid yourself of the search bar without root on Nexus devices. Not sure if this has changed since I only screwed around with it when it first came out for about the 5 minutes it took to figure out I hated it and haven't looked back since. Maybe that has changed though...

the gesture capabilities are nice on Nova too. i do a double tap to launch the Play Store for App updates.

You should download the screen off app and bind the double tap to turn off the screen. That for off and the fingerprint for on, you'll never have to touch the power button (but double tapping the power button for quick camera is still pretty awesome, so you probably will - lol).

You can use nova/screen on to turn it off and it doesn't require root. To turn on, you can use the fingerprint sensor.

Twice. Once when switching themes and once with an app conflict that hosed ADW. I normally have multiple launchers installed as I like to switch things up but it also comes in handy when the chips are down.

OK, so third party launchers? I always keep stock launcher active. I'm going to give the stock launcher a decent chance but that bar might drive me to Nova or action.

That doesn't make any sense. I've been using it for a few days and I've had no problems with Imprint at all.
Update: I take that back. So, I just played with it a little bit and you're right. If I power off via the button, imprint allows me to power on and unlock immediately. If I double-tap to power off, when I touch the sensor, it still asks for the pin code.

I personally like the Google Now launcher. I don't see what's wrong with the search bar at the top, personally. I'm not a fan of the newest skin they put on it, though. The launcher, as a whole, though us functional and minimal, which is what I prefer. Having google now with a swipe to the right is a bonus.
