[Q] As above peeps. Im currently running a Samsung based rom and the open close of the cover kills the screen....but not on the AOSP based roms....is there an app for this or is there some functionality in the aosp rom that I can use to switch this on - if I can then id rather go the aosp route.
Cheers to anyone that chips in.
I'm using cm11 snapshot m11, device turn on/off works fine with s-view cover. You can also install hal monitor if you want more features..

I have stock, up-to-date Android 4.2.2.
I am trying to figure out why use CM10.1 or any other custom ROM over up-to-date stock Android Rom.
Well, for me I use stock and faux kernel @1.9ghz and I'm fine with it
Custom Roms add more features thou, I used to run aokp on my n7 but I prefer stock
Sent from my Nexus 4 @1.944 GHz on Stock 4.2.2
Mainly for the customization, and certain features not found in stock roms.
It's an user preference really.

thank you for the responses.
Like the idea of faux kernel with Stock rom.
Also for some more optimization, and little fixes of things that Google f**ked up in their stock Android
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Here are the main features that are interesting to me:
- Built-in notification light control
- SMS bonus features (quick reply, original timestamps, etc)
- Volume rocker wake
- Navring (2 other shortcuts besides google now)
- Their cLock widget is nice
- Editable toggles / quick settings + quick pulldown (pulldown from right goes directly into toggles) LOVE IT
- Torch built in..
Downsides:
- The slide up animation of google now is not as smooth and sexy
- Old calendar app (WHY U NO REMOVE IT, it's on the play store!!) though it's practically the same

The source for the Play version isn't open though, so they build from the source that is available (i.e. the current CM calendar) and I their ultimate goal is to include what you need to operate a smart phone without absolutely requiring the addition of Gapps; although 99.999% of people ultimately do.

Yea probably the same reason why there is the "stock/modded" ICS browser (I know some people prefer it). They don't want preinstalled store apps in the rom, and such things as browser and calendar are basic features expected cooked in a ROM. PA does that though and it works well I think with no legal issue.
After trying several roms,I can say the top feature of nexus is the stock android and being uptodate instantaneous ,
So why you install a custom rom ? Sure it will not be stable as stock.
Customization can be dne through apk,I use
Exdialer.
Nova launcher
Sliding messages.
Tasker
Active screen lock , sometimes
Proximity screen off
Power toggle
Hey gang, I was considering purchasing spigen's new slim armor with the sview cover on it. The problem is, I no longer use the touchwiz based roms anymore. Will the sview functionality (the little preview window) work on an AOSP-based rom? Or is that a samsung specific functionality?
Oh and if it doesn't work out of the box in AOSP does anyone know of an xposed mod or anything else like that that would enable it?
Thanks,
Nico

S-View still works with AOSP but it is limited to just calling. The clock works but text messages & timers & such to not display because it only works with samsung apps.
so what i really like in my stock 4.4.2 is the knock on /off and I tried CM 10.2 but sadly I noticed I dont have knock off...
I want a simple rom...I like how nexus clean version of android looks and feels..I want a minimalistic rom...
I really liked the option in the oneplus one to drow a pattern when the screen is of and activate a certian app if theres a rom wich include it ill like to hear(I guess maybe CM 11 but I havent tried it yet becuse its still in nightly version)
I have a VS980, and I have flashed most of the ROMs available in the dev section for it. I don't believe that any AOSP-based ROM is going to have knock-off, so you would have to use one of the stock based (such as Malladus or XDABBEB). These in general aren't going to have minimalist look of AOSP based ROMs though.
Your other choice is to run an AOSP ROM with Xposed. I know that the Xposed GEL Settings module has an option to set double-tap to an action, though that may be a premium feature you have to donate to receive (which I recommend anyway, as it is an amazing module).

Paranoid Android has knock on + knock off (you have to use the notification bar; doesn't work anywhere else as far as I know).
The list of features is here: [Change Log] Paranoid Android [AOSPA]

yeah but i dont want to reach every time...and it wont be comftrable while driving for example
Another option, if you're OK with using a launcher other than the GEL, is to install the Apex launcher. I believe it gives you desktop knock off in its free version.
Using this launcher, you can use any ROM you'd like, as long as it provides knock on. I think most ROMs for the G2 provide that.

I think you should search for voice controlled apps and such. I don't know if Google Voice can help you.

I meant I dont want to reach the notification bar...becuse the way the phone is set at my car I can reach the bottom half of the screen without streching....
anyway...Ive seen several mods that gives me full KNOCK OFF and I am currently looking for a clean AOSP style ROM to use...if someone have a link for a guide that teachs how to use 2 roms so I can test a new one without having to back up and stuff i'd love to get it
I keep looking for a way to disable the knock on feature with KitKat based ROMs, but haven't found a way yet. I'm running SlimKat on a LS980 right now, but none of the other ROMs have had the option to disable the knock on feature.
It is great to have until I try running with the phone or using it to do manual work while listening to music. It keeps changing songs, opening websites from Google now, rearranging my home screen apps, and sometimes managing to call people.
Does any one know a easy way (or stable ROM) to have the ability to deactivate knock on? I'd love to be able to turn it on and off easily like WiFi or Bluetooth so when I need the feature I can have it, but when I don't it isn't a pain.

you should specify you want a solution for aosp based kitkat because on stock(the lg themed one that came with the phone) you can go to settings>gestures and turn it off/if the proximity sensor is covered it doesn't allow knock on to work to prevent it from unlocking while in pockets and stuff
BUMP!
I'd like to know as well! The screen keeps coming on while in my pocket. What file/code/apk/ect is responsible for Knock-On?
I'm running AOSP C-ROM 7.1.

It is mainly kernel which is in charge of knock on so unless you know how to create kernel there isn't much you can do

Access the hidden menu on your phone and disable knock on
EDIT: that would be for stock lg rom, but you could still try with your aosp kk rom

Hello,
is there any mod for the magnetic sensor in the S4, that i can install in any custom rom? The S4 Google Edition rom is the only one, where its working.
There is an app in the playstor (sview lite) but it only uses the light sensor to determine if the cover is closed.
Greetings

In the actual PAC-Black Edition nightly it works very well (the phone goes off if I close the cover, it shows the content in the view and it turns on if I open it)

Hiho,
thanks fou your answer, but this is not exactly, what I'm looking for. Currently I'm using the Slimcat rom, because its really fast (faster than the S4 Google Edition) and has a nice dark theme.
All I need es the magnetsensor support.
Greetings
