Just a simple question, is this gesture support could be integrated on our phone ? For exemple, when the phone is locked, double tap the screen which makes the phone to wake etc...
I heard it's a kernel feature, i wish we could add it to CM kernel or else as SGY have a proximity sensor so i thought it could be nice, Maybe we'll be able to create our custom gesture to perform custom actions and stuff... ^^
I'm just curious

Double tap to wake is a kernel feature - I don't have knowledge of kernels so don't know if it can be implemented but it will most likely drain the battery
Any other gesture eg Swipe up to launch phone will be down to your launcher
Nova launcher is a good launcher with gesture support (requires 4.0+)
Gingerbread launchers look at holo launcher or adw launcher for examples

Thanks to elginsk8r, we have a very good CM10 rom that is quite stable for a daily driver.
Question on the feature (please note that this is not ETA). Among the nice ones for CM 7, i like volume rocker wake and trackball wake. Esp. since i have a temperamental powerbutton.. Will these be in the end product in CM10? Also, i like ADW Launcher better than Trebuchet, this one has swipe up/down actions
Thanks again for the ROM, it is truly a good one..

Synthetic.Nightmare has a 3.0 kernel built directly off of the kernel already in CM10 that includes Sweep to wake, which allows you to swipe across the lower part of the screen to wake the phone. You might try that in lieu of trackpad/volume wake.
Also, trebuchet is the official launcher of CM10. If you want ADW install it from the Play Store.
Hi everyone, I would buy this device and i would know if modding it with CM, PA or AOSP i will lost the double tap to awake the display, the back button for wake up the screen it's very bad choice >.<

Knock on works on the CM build I know and here is a cheat to make the Knock Off work. Install the Rom use either Nova and or Apex, set the gesture of a double tap to execute the app in the link below and Knock off will now work anywhere on the home screen.

the double tap to wake is working in CM 10.2, but the knock off not working. if you planning on using CM, you can just install the screen off and lock widget, you can even single touch your G2 to lock it off, with that widget
I've been looking for a solution for the knock off and am trying gravity screen now. Using gestures in Nova or Apex is an option I've seen mentioned but I really don't want to install another launcher. Knock on & off may not be that big of a deal if gravity screen continues to work well.
Knock on works on all custom ROMs because it is build into the device kernel. However knock off is not and you have to use nova launcher prime for it which I don't.

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!
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.

Hello,
I always use a gesture "one finger pull down" to pull down the notification shade, but it is not working for me on the S8 has anyone noticed the same?
I am currently using action launcher 3, but none of the launchers seem to do it for me.
Update, action launcher has been updated and it works now.
Yes. I have the same issue.
Settings > Advanced Features > Enable "Finger Sensor Gestures"
it's working for me, clear your fingerpring and try.. .... mine is S8+
It's not the fingerprint sensor that's not working it's the gesture on the home screen of pulling down. Normally I can swipe down anywhere in the home screen and pull down notifications and quick actions. Right now I have to get my finger all the way to the top. I have tried making the gesture a double tap as well as a two finger pull and nothing works.
I have exactly the same issue! I submitted a bug request with action launcher, in case its a problem with that app. Perhaps you should do that too?
It's not the app. I'm fortunate enough to have Verizon which still allowed the Bixby button to be remapped. (the first time I'm actually happy they are slow at rolling out updates lol). That being said I remapped that button to open notifications and its fine. However using Nova launcher which uses what I assume is the same accessibility interception doesn't work. Hopefully a work around is found so this phone is more usable with one hand.
Definitely an issue with 3rd party launchers and the s8 fingerprint sensor

I have the same issue. Guess i have to get used to use the fingerprint swipe, until they fix it.
Working for me as well.
Did you activate launcher's service in settings>accessibility>services?
Its disabled by default, you have to enable it in the settings, but to be honest, that feature is useless unless you are missing fingers on your hand. and youll end up smudging your camera in the process.
Yeah sure did... Still mot working
I have the same issue using Action Launcher 3. I also have the app ticked in Accessibility.
Everyone who is saying it IS working is misunderstanding the issue. It's not a case of swiping the fingerprint sensor not working, it's a case of launchers that use shortcuts to access the notification shade. For years, I've used Action Launcher 3 where a single finger swipe down OF THE HOMESCREEN brings down the notification shade - that doesn't work anymore. And given the height of the S8 duo, this is the time we need it the most.
It does not work because swiping up/down now brings up app drawers. It is by design. Maybe try disabling app drawers a la iOS style?
You just need to enable Action Launcher in Settings->Accessibility scroll all the way down to services.
(I hope those is the right names, my phone is not set to english)
Looks like Nova Launcher Prime does work for me as long as Accessibility is activated so this problem is mostly just a Action Launcher problem. I remember at one point he moved away from needing accessibility to utilize this feature and maybe its default setting is to not utilize it any longer. I really want to stick with Action Launcher so hopefully the developer will come through with the old way through accessibility.

Ok found a solution but its annoying. If you have Action Launcher and Nova Launcher (Prime may or may not be needed) you can still use action launcher primarily but you'll need to utilize Nova Launcher's action short cuts. So here goes...
1. Open Action Launcher Settings
2. Go to shortcuts
3. Go to swipe down
4. Assign single finger to "Shortcut" > Nova Action > Select Expand Notifications in this menu.
??? profit

GENIUS.
I found another solution as well! works very good.
Install the app "drop down status bar"(WangQi) from play store and then use this app as a shortcut for that gesture you want.
