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

Hi Guys,
I installed Nova Launcher and the knock knock feature to turn off the screen is not working
Any work around?

Hi,
Double tap on the notification bar area...
Below is a little app you can add to assist Nova. Install this from the link below at the Play Store, then set Nova up that a Double Tap will execute the app. You can double tap any where on the screen, you are not limited to just the Notification bar.

Double-tapping the notification bar will work. You can also install the Screen Off app from the Play Store, here. Make sure to open the Screen Off Settings and activate it. Then in Nova Settings, go to Gestures and Buttons-->Double tap, select the Apps tab, scroll down and select the Screen Off app. Knock off should work just as it used to.
So I'm setting up my new phone, and noticed something frustrating. Using Xposed I shortened the nav bar size, and had to install a launcher to mitigate that unsightly gap that resulted. Having had and loved Apex Launcher on my old Rezound, I installed it here. Problem solved.
Until I discovered that I can't set the double tap back to shutting off the screen. Which is a bummer because it was so handy to double tap and shut the screen off.
Anyone run into this and what's your fix?
I found a workaround if anyone is interested. Lock Screen App by Kenneth Cheng. Use it as a app shortcut for a double tap to lock the screen. Double tap to unlock/wake up still works fine.

Thanks! Apex launcher is the best!
Knock on still works on status bar regardless of launcher.

Just thought I'd share with you all a little something I found. You can double tap the notification bar to lock or unlock your phone, without needing to use the power button
Or if you use Nova to set gestures double tap with screen off app. Same as LG launcher.

Yep and you can even double tap an empty part of the homescreen to lock and unlock as well!
Its one of the features of the G3
Double tap on/off with the G2, Flex and now G3 is one of the cool features LG has been doing.

Download Screen Off from the play store and set it to open this app when you double tap in Nova.

sweet , thanks
Tweaksbox also has a double tap home setting. I use that to turn off the screen.
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.

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

Immersive mode is cool, I have Navbar disappearing after a few seconds which is cool, its just that the swiping up from the bottom of the screen is quite imprecise, sometimes opening up one of the dock apps, so I was wondering if any launcher (in the gesture settings) has the option to bring up the navbar with a double tap? Nova has many options for double tap but showing the navbar is not one (I have written to them to add it to the gestures as it would be a great addition) but in the interim I was wondering if any launcher had the double tap to show navbar as an option, or if anyone has any other solution. I love the screen without the navbar but bringing up the navbar with the normal swipe up from bottom is not the most convenient or precise imho.
