Anyone know how to apply icons from Nox Icons to the G2 without using a non-stock launcher? I prefer using the stock G2 launcher to keep "knock knock" but don't like the icons. I already tried changing the icons by long pressing the icon I want to change and selecting the Nox icon I want but it keeps saying "Failed to load image".

You can keep knock on/off with 3rd party launchers, you just need to double tap the status bar up top.
Yeah I know, but that's too hard to do one handed (or I'm just too lazy). I was hoping there's a way to find the icons using a file browser or maybe someone has the icons in a zip.

You can also download a program called Turn off screen, using nova, after you set up "turn off screen" go to activities under gestures in Nova, and set double tap as turn off screen. Also, if you have root, in the app section, someone has developed the regular launcher with pretty much all options you can think of.
Have fun.

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.

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.

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

Some people say knock on works with other launchers and others say it only works with LG launcher.

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!

Let me know if this option is there Or no.
I think that feature only works when your using the stock touchwiz launcher.
you need to set touchwiz as your default launcher.
if you have no default, or a different launcher as default the option disappears.

How to remove the app drawer like s7 http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/galaxy-s7-remove-app-drawer/
on Lolipop S6 ports
just pretend, if your launcher has an option to automatically put icons on the home screen choose that (or do it in playstore settings). then if it let's you, remove the app draw icon from your launcher dock or switch to a launcher that will let you. although it's fugly as all hell so I don't know why anyone would want to.

It isn't possible without a third party launcher.
This no launcher trend was introduced only recently with the release of the S7 and G5, and both run Marshmallow. So I don't think it's available for lollipop unless someone ports the feature.

You do realize that it is possible to create app shortcuts on the home screen, right? Every launcher has this.
And he may have removed the app drawer icon somehow. I'm sure exposed has some options for customizing the touchwiz launcher.

I highly doubt touchwiz lollipop has the option to disable the app drawer and make it iOS-like, because I never heard anything about it until the S7 and G5 came out. But both are running marshmallow.
If there really was such a feature on touchwiz lollipop, people would have discovered it sooner.
What you saw in the video is probably some modifications done by the youtuber (Xposed or something).
