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

This is confusing.
Some people say knock on works with other launchers and others say it only works with LG launcher.
Someone please clarify.

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!

Lg and Nova launcher questions

What would I be losing if I changed my default launcher to Nova? One thing I noticed immediately is the double tap to sleep function (anyone know how I enable it as a Nova gesture?). Am I losing any if the other Lg functionality like quick window or slideaside?
Also which launcher is more battery and ram friendly.

There is a wonderful app called "Screen Off and Lock" by Katecca that will let you use your double tap to turn the screen off anywhere like before.
Been using it with Nova Launcher on my G2 for a long time, works flawlessly.

double tap with novq

Hey guys ... I dont know if anyone else already posted about this, but u can use lgs double to switch off screen in nova launcher by just tapping the notification area twice.
Have fun

Yes sir, tap twice on notification bar.

I use GMD gesture swipe up on corner top work well

Download the free app "Screen off" from the Playstore and assign it as gesture in Nova settings.

If you have paid nova launcher version you can assign double tap on screen gesture to hibernate+screen lock (greenify). Works perfect for me.

Also, the double tap on status bar to lock works within every app.

I created a task and assign it on double tap

[Q] G2 and custom launchers. Are there any that support double tap to sleep?

I've tried loads of launchers right now and none of them seem to make the phone go to sleep if I double tap the screen.
I know that you can double tap the notification bar to make it go to sleep but that's terrible. It's uncomfortable to try and do so since my hands are not that big.

Nova Prime, add Screen Off app on Gestures in Nova Settings.

Most do not by default.
Action Launcher does have an option to turn screen off in settings. I use it on my Nexus 7.
Nova has options for Double Tap, but requires a "Screen Off" app from the Play Store. Pretty simple and works great.
I have found other launchers that have "Screen Off" as options too. They just aren't enabled by default.

Action launcher 3, gestures setting (double/triple tap on screen or on home button, swipes, etc.).

Just use Lock Screen App and problem solved. It works flawlessly.

Greenify

If you are on AOSP, there should be SlimActions (and screenoff there) included, which might be used in f.e Nova's launcher double tap gesture

Nova. It just works, no additional app needed. Double tap on notification bar.

That was not the question. Double tab on notification bar is different from tapping somewhere on the screen.

Smart launcher + secure settings dose the job for me

Notification Swipe Down Option? (No, not with the fingerprint sensor)

Is there an option or an app that allows you to swipe down from anywhere on the screen to bring down the notification bar? I know launchers like Nova allow you to do that, but I'm really enjoying TouchWiz this time around, and with my small hands, I'd really like to swipe down anywhere on the screen to get the notification tray. If I'm adjusting my hands and fingers to stretch up to swipe down from the rear fingerprint sensor, I might as well just swipe down from the notification bar.

I've noticed Samsung is blocking this only when it comes to the notifications. In action launcher 3 I can map swipe down to anything other than the notification panel.

I use the "All In One Gestures" app and remapped my back soft key to the notification pulldown on a long press.

Odd. I have this working with Nova on my S8

If you enable the app drawer button instead of just swiping, then you can swipe down from anywhere for notifications.

Are you sure this is true? Did you have to enable that somewhere? Not the fingerprint reader, and on the touchwiz launcher.

Well, I was wrong. I read that adding the app button would allow swiping down from anywhere. Just tested out and it still doesn't work. Sorry.

Finally they've implemented that feature. :good: :good:
Go to:Settings -> Display -> Home screen -> and enable Quick-open notification panel checkbox

Why do Verizon customers not get this version through official channels like the Google Play Store or Samsung Galaxy App Store?
