Hello everyone. I have flashed the stable CM 10.2 rom that was just released today on my LG G2 [D802].
One of the main feature of G2 that i loved was the "Knock On" for locking and unlocking the screen.
In this Cyanogenmod double tap to unlock works but double tap on homescreen/status bar does not lock the phone.
Anyone out there know how to fix this?
Another thing is how do i get to use the IR Blaster as my TV Remote? Where can i find a compatible software like the one that was provided by LG.
Thank You

Unfortunately, for the time being, only knock-on works in AOSP roms. This is a result of the difference in implementation between the knock-on and knock-off features; namely, knock-on is a kernel-level feature while knock-off is an OS-level feature. As a workaround, people have been either using custom gestures available in Nova Launcher or adding a toggle to the quick settings menu.
For the IR Blaster, you should be able to find everything you need here.
Thanks! Appreciate the help.
Screen off and lock app will turn the screen off with a swipe up. That's what I've been using on the PA KiTKat Rom.

Hi,
Does CM10 or CM9 support lockscreen gestures? I can't find anything about it in the FAQ or the description of the ROMs.
I'm wondering why this question has not been asked more often... In my opinion this is one of the best features- I can turn on the flashlight drawing an "L" while my mobile is still in my pocket!
Another thing is the permission management. Is it possible to block some permissions for an app in CM9 or CM10 ???
I'm still on CM7 but would like to switch to JB as soon as I know whether those features are available in CM9 or CM10.
Thank you,
Greetings
Haven't seen this so far, but i will also keep on searching. If i find any helpful stuff i will post it immediately in this thread.

I'm really hoping that the lockscreen gestures come back...
Am I the only one who is thinking that this feature is so important?
Nope u arn't alone I also think so

i too think that lockscreen gestures is one of the best features of cm7, but i wouldnt get my hopes up regarding it being ported to cm10 as one half of the screen is taken by the unlocker 'slide', and the other is by music control. remember in cm7 the music control was 3 little buttons at the bottom and there was plenty of room for drawing the gestures. i have no idea how it could be solved now :/
Man I was hoping this was already available!
I never used cm7 by myself cause i have an st15i and when i found out about cm the newest version was cm9 so i used that one. I was surely cool to have gestures on the lockscreen and i cant wait for it to be ported (somehow). Google gesture search is like the cm gestures just not on the lock screen but works exactly like cm version.
Please ask all questions in Q&A. Thread moved there.
I really miss this feature. Hopefully lockscreen gestures will be implemented in CM10 eventually, but in the meanwhile, the "Gesture Lock" app seems to be a close approximation: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.whacked.gesturelock&hl=en

I'm using this right now, but it has some faults.
1) no sensitivity control like CM7. So, a curved line pretty much runs the same gesture as a straight line. Without sensitivity control, you are very limited to the gestures you can use unless they are uniquely intricate.
2) The giant clock. I hate this clock on the bottom of the screen. I have a lock screen image I use that displays owner info and some other important info. The clock takes up a large portion of the screen and makes it hard to fit. Besides, the status bar has a clock, so it's pretty much just double displaying info I don't need. I would be willing to pay the developer to add a hide clock option, but next item rules out that option.
3) The developer isn't working on it any more. I've emailed him to ask some questions and he said he's pretty much too busy to do anything with it, so don't expect any updates or improvements.
4) No shortcut ability, other than launching apps. CM7's gestures would let you set a gesture to run things like direct dial a number, toggle sound, turn on flashlight. Gesture lock can only launch apps. While this is a let down, I have found a solution to the problem by using Tasker. Takser now has the App Factory which lets you create an app for anything Tasker can do, which is pretty much anything. So, I've created a few apps like toggle flashlight, which unlocks pattern lock, toggles Tesla LED, then locks the device again. Essentially, it toggles the flashlight pretty much the same as CM7 did. I've also made a couple direct dial apps that work similarly to dial a phone number and relock the screen.
5) No way to choose the color of the gesture trail or disable trails. I loved that I could hide the gesture trails because I made my lock screen look like a regular lock screen with a slide to unlock graphic. If you didn't know the gesture to unlock the phone, you would think the screen is frozen because the slide was just an image that didn't move! With Gesture Lock, you can see the yellow trails and it gives away everything.
Overall, it's a decent app, but nothing close to the CM7 gesture settings. I will forever miss it if it never comes to CM10. I'll probably also never use CM10 if this feature doesn't get added because I am perfectly happy with stock JB as it is now. I've got a ridiculous battery life on my Razr Maxx HD, so I don't really need to save battery, which was my man reason for switching to CM7 in the first place. I wonder if enough of us request it with a donation if it might happen. Anyone else interested enough to donate for it?

I just found another alternative: an app called Gestos, available free on the Google Play.
It's a really nice gesture app with lots of options, including a gesture lockscreen that works well. Unfortunately, the custom lockscreen includes an ugly clock that I don't like, but the gestures work well.
The app also has a thread on XDA.
Hello!
I currently have a Nexus 4 on the three network. I am running Android 4.2.2, rooted and with a custom rom of 3.50 Paranoid Android.
I use a pattern for my lockscreen at the moment, but was wondering something? Is there an app with lets the phone have a lockring with the apps on it and then when you swipe to unlock it, you still have to do some type of security.
Basically I want the functionality of the lock ring (open apps quickly) while sustaining the security aspect of passwords.
Thanks,
Adam

I was wondering about this too. On my old HD2 one of the CM10 (i.e. JB 4.1) ROMs had this functionality so maybe CM 10.1 has it as well. I'd wait for someone else to respond before doing anything but if you desperately need this but want to retain all the features of PA then try out the PAC ROM which may well solve your issues.
Cheers. I'll check it out now
CM 10.1 doesn't seem to have it. I'll check pacman in a few moments.
did you figure out how to do it?
Nope. I couldn't find it at all. The best I could do is have a widget locker lock screen then a pattern lock. I'm not too bothered anymore
Hi there,
Seeking some advice on a ROM. Hate the look of stock LG G2, just installed stock-like kitkat on my old GNex and saw the google experience launcher with transparent everything, DO WANT. However I'm afraid of losing some features of stock LG software. Maybe you guys can recommend some ROMs, or if it's best to stay stock to get all the features I want, recommend some mods that will give me all the ROM features I want?
Things I NEED
Knock On/ Knock Off (LG feature)
4.4 Stock "Look and Feel" (fonts, transparent bars all around, appearance of time and battery and notifications bar, black instead of white setting menu, etc, you get the picture)
Always listening on the home screen, possibly the lock-screen, pretty much anywhere I can have it all over the UI (as per 4.4, not LG)
Recent Apps button instead of a menu button (as per 4.4, not LG)
Open apps from the lockscreen with apps icons already visible when looking at lockscreen (not the style where you hold finger over lock icon to see a choice of apps in a circle, and then have to swipe a specific direction. I used to have that and didnt like it as much as I like LG stock way of actually showing icons without you touching anything, and you swipe the icons, not a lock towards the icons)
Circle battery type thing on status bar that shows percentage
Things I haven't tried/am not sure about but might want from stock LG software, and might not want to lose flashing to custom ROM
Better stock camera?
SmartShare from the gallery app? (says it uses wifi/bluetooth to stream content to other devices)
Beam/DNLA/I don't even remember what it's called or what app I found it in?
Quickremote
You tell me please? I'm sure there's a bunch of stuff I've yet to discover that I might want (are any of LG's apps e.g. notebook useful?)
Things that are cool but not really necessary
Themes and a ton of extra features -- used to use AOKP and they had a decent amount of extra feature, not too few like CM, not too many like other ROMs where my head just starts spinning from all the features
Other
I'd really prefer not to have to wipe all the time, CM's OTA update feature was awesssooome when I had CM on my GNex, but CM is a little feature-lite for me, I mean it was good though, that's just a minor complaint. But if there's something better fitting my criteria above I'll put up with having to wipe to flash updates of the same ROM in the future if its necessary. I just never understood why OEMs can push OTAs to people and never make them wipe, but for custom ROMs (updating new versions of same ROM) I have to re-set-up everything every time
A lot of this stuff has been addressed already. Most ROMs have knock on built in, but not knock off. The work around is downloading an app that turns the screen off, and using a gesture control in another app (such as Nova Launcher) to double tap the home screen to turn the screen off. Though personally, I just have screen off set to my nav ring so I can access it from any page I'm on.
There's a flashable install here on the forums some where for Quick Remote. Works fine on AOSP ROMs.
As for 4.4 stuff, I have no idea.

How did you do that? I nowhere find a setting to change anything in the navigation ring.

Hi everyone,
i am hoping you can help me i been trying to see how to get my lockscreen to have the same features as this s5 lockscreen. see atached
i have installed xposed framework to get the camera, but for the life of me i can not get it have similar features.
I like the idea of the camera to swipe up from an app style like my iphone 5. instead of having to swipe from the left.
Also i have another issue is that my locks screen instally brings up the the screen to unlock rather than look like this s5 lockscreen.
mine is the darth vader lockscreen btw.
you ideas would be really good. to solve this.

Install a rom that have ported S5 lockscreen on it:laugh:
hi kenji thanks for that i will look into it. i am looking into the cyanogen 11 nightly atm. i hope there will no issues.
Hi. I recently switched to the Axon 7 from an Xperia Z3. On my old phone, I used the ACDisplay LockScreen with a custom widget I developed myself that displayed custom unique information.
However, with the Axon 7, I am unable to use ACDisplay, as it does not function correctly when a passcode is enabled. Microsoft's Next Lockscreen, on the other hand, fully supports my fingerprint, but doesn't allow for a custom Widget.
Is there any way I can get both of these? If the Axon 7 had the stock lockscreen, I could use an Xposed Module. But unfortunately I'm left to use one of the many custom lockscreens, none of which seem to support both fingerprint security and custom widgets.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
Out of the handful I tested, Next Lockscreen was the only one that worked properly with the fingerprint reader. Someone else may find one out there, though.
