Hello!
I recently bought the Moto 360, and I came from the Galaxy Gear.
The Galaxy gear had an option to open the mediacontroller(Or whatever app you wanted) by double tapping the power button. Is there something to make this possible on Android wear too? Since I cycle alot its annoying to swipe through notifications(Especially when I can't really rely on the wears notifications), and then open the app. Its simple to just double tap and open whatever you want(Stellio in my case).
So any app or modification which can make this possible?
Thanks!

without losing other home button functionality such as double tap to launch camera and the triple tap ability?
Currently it does Now On Tap and you have to say the launch phrase to do a voice search but I'd like if it just went straight to voice search. I'm able to do that but I haven't found an app that can do that and still keep the camera quick launch ability.
Triple tap?

You can set triple tap to make it so that the screen shrinks down for easier 1 handed use, I didn't specify though since I couldn't remember what it's called.
@ohmimpotence , did you find a way to set long press to Voice Search? On my old S4 double tap launched voice search, with help of app called Home2Shortcut, I was able to switch it from s-voice to google. I assumed they made it long press on S7 since double press is camera, and there is button for app switcher. I would really like to get to Google voice search by long home press, straight from sleep mode. It is very handy while driving.
May this helps -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/voicesearch-tap-t3556995
Is there a way to change the double tap of the home button to something other then the camera. I'd like to put a different app on this if possible?

I've been using a combination of Home2 Shortcut and Recent Task 2 to have my home button launch recent apps when I double tap it. You must disable the double tap camera function on your S7 to get it to work.
Home2 Shortcut is a really old app but it still works. It acts as a home launcher replacement that listen to how many times the home button is tapped. The app's settings lets you choose what app to open when it's double tapped and what home launcher to open when it's single tapped.
Thanks, shoremunkey, I'll try them out.
Yes, download "Home2 Shortcut" app.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for.
Also "all in one gestures". It doesn't have the double tap feature, but it allows you to reassign the home back and recent buttons to whatever you like. It provides different functions for holding, and also gives the option to use edge swiping.
For example I changed the "back" function to the recent button because I'm left handed, when I that button it kills the foreground app. The back button has the recents function and when it's held it takes a screen shot. Then I used a swiping gesture from the bottom of the screen to drop the notification drawer. It works great especially using finger print unlock because as soon as it unlocks I swipe my thumb up the screen and it shows my notifications.
Hey do you mind telling me how you got home2 shortcut to work. I disabled the camera double tap shortcut and assigned an application in step one however for the last step "close" closing the dialog, I am not presented with an option to choose a launcher like the app says. Thanks
Does anyone have any good recommendations for apps that can limit the number of notification sounds that your phone can create within a certain time-frame? There was a great Xposed module [less frequent notifications] that could do this on a rooted device and I find myself missing that feature a lot on my un-rootable S7 .
Also looking for an app that will let me customize what the home, back, and recent buttons can do.

Thanks for the suggestion. It has quite a few options, but it looks like it is missing the ability to customize a 'double tap' press on any of the buttons. I wasn't able to find a 'last app' action either. My ideal set-up would be:
Home
single press - home
double press - camera
long press - google Now on tap
Recents
single press - recents
double press - do nothing
long press - google search
Back
single press - back
double press - last app
long press - kill app
edit: realize I can do without the double press and could move the 'last app' action, if available, to the recent apps long press.

I keep trying to do a print screen by pressing the rear power button and volume down but its very difficult as most times the volume just goes down. never had such an issue with the g4 I had
another thing is double tapping and going in through the draw password.
when double tap the screen it doesnt give you the option to draw the password. I have to swipe first then I can draw the password which is a pita. any way to enable a double tap to go straight to draw password option? why dont this people test these things?
how the hell do I disable google assistant crap "ok google" ?
1. easiest to do the screenshot with the VOL- button just before power.
2. No.
3. not sure as i like assisstant.
@rocketman1 I keep trying to do a print screen by pressing the rear power button and volume down but its very difficult as most times the volume just goes down. never had such an issue with the g4 I had
This one can be easier, you can use the quick memo ( Aka Capture + Plus )options and it will take screenshots for you, as i believe holding Vol down will do the quick memo screen shot if its on in the settings under ( Shortcut Keys)

This is to keep your code from accidentally being put in during pocked use if it turns on. I dont believe it can be shut off without some bigger edits to systemui

disable the google app from your app settings.

Or just disable the Google Assistant, if you prefer:
Here's how to disable Google Assistant:
1. Open Google app
2. Tap on Menu (three lines) on top left
3. Tap Settings
4. Under Google Assistant, tap Settings
5. Scroll halfway down the menu, and voila! A toggle to turn the Assistant off.
2. Funny, coming from the G3 I had similar questions. Not sure I need to swipe before entering knock code. Worked fine without on the G3. At least you can knock directly with the screen off, bypassing this, but sometimes I turn on my screen to see the notifications and the extra swipe is an annoyance.
3. Unfortunately if you disable it in the settings, then you lose the "Ok Google" from Google Now. Instead it just prompts you to turn Google Assistant back on. Similarly, if you turn on Google Assistant but don't give it Web & App Activity + Device Information data (which is every app switch you do, every movement of your phone or touch of the screen), then it takes your question but then just *****es at you.
Only workaround I've found for now (probably won't last forever) is to set your keyboard language to English US Virgin Islands, a region where Google Assistant is not yet supported. You might need the root app Language Enabler or some other method to enable that language. Hopefully someone finds a better resolution.
Is there a native way to lock the phone using a double tap, widget, etc? Just looking for anything OTHER THAN a physical button to save wear and tear on the button. I prefer a soft button / widget, but if something is built-in, I could get used to it without having to add-on software.

Negative. No tap wake and no app. Said they were thinking about adding tap maybe in a future update
You can double home button or status bar to lock with Lineage. This function is configurable in settings, no need extra app.
If you choose to install Xposed, GravityBox has the option to dbl-tap status bar for.sleep
I use Screen Off and Lock from the playstore. If using the stock launcher, click on the icon to turn off/lock. If using Nova Launcher, set up the double tap to run the Screen off and lock program (in the Gestures & inputs). Been using it for years with no problems.
