kernel tap twice to unlock - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys
I'm looking for a kernel which will allow me to double tap the screen to unlock it
I'm currently running PA latest version
thanks in advanced
Ariel

double tap to unlock wouldn't be a kernel function but an OS/ROM function, no? Double tap to wake is a kernel function, that's common amongst all kernels, I believe. It just needs to be activated.

Activated by app/rom (which typically loads a module), but kernel needs to support it as well. I recommend Touchcontrol.

should i allow him?
no other way?

You don't have to use stock (modded) kernel. A bunch of custom ones have module support too-franco, hells, faux...

[Q] Take screenshot without using hardware button

Been using galaxy nexus before.
Now I am looking for nexus 4 ROMS that can take screenshot without using hardware button (vol down+power), for example long press navigation bar or shake or on-screen shortcuts.
Thanks a lot!

Any ROM that includes PIE controls can be used to take a screenshot without using hardware buttons, just enable the second row of buttons and screenshot is included by default. PIE is available on ParanoidAndroid, SlimBean, and many ROMs based on these ROMs (including Odyssey).

Would it be possible to install that on google stock ROM?
And would that work if I unroot the phone?

No... PIE controls are integrated into certain custom ROMs such as ParanoidAndroid and Slim Bean and are not available as an app. If you want to take screenshots on the stock ROM without pressing and holding volume down and power buttons for two seconds, you will need to install a separate screenshot app which may require root privileges to access the screen image.

yes, it's possible, but it wouldn't be as simple as installing something, you would have to take the source and build it yourself, big headache i'm sure. You'd be better off using one of the near stock roms in the dev section and just going with one that has pie incorporated already.

Actually I have learned of LMT, an XDA app, that can simulate PIE controls on any ROM including stock Android although it still requires root privileges to capture screen images. You can find detailed information and download links for LMT at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330150.

There is an app that could do this, well by just tapping the proximity sensor twice or trice, download the "Tap Tap App" on Playstore
I tried it and it waste to much battery, almost in my s4.

Tap tap app not working good in sgs4. Maybe the proximity sensor is the problem

Moved Double tap, sweep, etc... to its own screen in "Main Settings" called "Wake/Sleep Settings"

New nexus user questions about rom and kernel

I tried searching for these questions but remained uninformed.
1) ROM: I installed paranoidandroid 4.1 beta and it looks pretty much similar to the stock rom. I see some youtube video with a lot more customization options and just wondering where they are since i cant find any in the settings menu. For example, how can i edit the lockscreen unlock shortcuts? I would like to add sms, camera, and mail to the circle shortcuts which only includes the unlock as of now.
2) Kernel I installed franco kernel latest r203 and im just wondering how can i edit these settings or am i not allowed to? by settings i mean changing cpu options (disabling 2 cores to save battery) and what other settings i can tweak for better overall performance to battery ratio.
I have rooted / installed custom roms and kernels on htc and samsung and they let me change these settings so im just wondering how it works with the nexus.
Thanks for the help!

1) PA stated that they were going for a stock look so if you want a rom with customizations I suggest you check out Carbon, Vanir, Slimkat, etc...
2) Some kernels have the option to do that like Faux, Franco himself doesn't feel the need to jam a bunch of options into his kernel so if you really want multiple kernel options check out other kernels.

Double tap to wake up on stock kernel?

Not possible, best thing you can do if you don't want to install a custom kernel is use a app. There used to be one called TouchControl; though it's not on the Play store anymore. There's others that uses the proximity sensor to wake your phone up without using the power button.
FMD
Sometimes, some devs make stock kernel with DT2W, but there isn't one for 5.1.
Anyway, if you also think that as custom kernel, too, then I'm sorry to say you have absoutely no luck.
DT2W enabled with third party apps always have problems. They consume battery too much or they work only 1~2 out of 10 times.

double tap to wake

I have a TWRP custom recovery. I would like to install the "double tap to wake" feature. What's to be downloaded? I have the latest RR ROM.

Well our phone doesn't have the really "double tap to wake" my friend. Sorry you won't have that like lumia :angel:
That feature requires hardware support and the S4's hardware does not support it.
