Any good options for a quick flashlight, like holding down power when the phone is off? I'm used to this from the ROM of my last HTC phone.

I'm using the ElementalX custom kernel with flair's Wake Gestures app. I have it set so a swipe up on the lockscreen toggles the torch. Works pretty well.

Why won't the LED work when the screen is on? Is there an option I'm missing?

Because there is no need for, you see the notification in the status bar anyway and maybe in a widget. Notification lights only work with screen off afaik.

There is a need for led on with screen on.
1 If your using expanded desktop
2 If you use daydream you'll be able to see if you got a message
Some custom ROMs have that feature for led on with screen on

#1. Get a ROM with Halo such as Paranoid Android or Carbon (with the proper unofficial nightly build)

Google should not. Its pointless for the everyday user to have a LED going while screen is on. Everyday user means, everyday user.... not someone who hacks their phone.

Theres other ROMs out there with Halo that isn't Paranoid Android. Carbon Rom being one of them doesn't have all the DPI change and all that.
Maybe people should stop daydreaming about LED while screen is on lol sorry, was a minor joke.
Try out Carbon though, it has Halo [you have to flash the right build] and appears the same as CM/AOKP/etc.
Hey guys, I need your help. I'm going berserk, because I've been searching a good kernel for my galaxy s3 (WITH CYANOGENMOD 10.2) that have the knock on function (double tap to wake the display) like the LG G2. Can you help with a list of kernel that have this function also COMPATIBLES with my CYANOGENMOD 10.2??
Thx

This double tap feature does not exist for our phone. Touch2wake is also only available for a few seconds after the screen goes off. Everything else would just drain the battery. According to boeffla our hardware wouldnt support the double tap to wake feature without sucking battery

Ok... I will put boeffla for the battery and others personalitations cause now I've already cyano kernel. Thanks

boeffla just has a single tap wake not a double tap
it can be only used to wake for a few seconds after the screen is turned off
does anyone know how to "control" this function ?? i mean , without tweaking it manually. An app for example... Nexus has touch control but this kernel is not suported in touchcontrol..
cheers !

Use Boeffla Config from the Playstore. You can change the delay of the Touchwake with that.
Check boeffla-kernel.de for the documentation.
ok installed Boeffla... Allllll right

But there is a function to wake up with proximity sensor. It doesn't suck battery much. So, it would be good if someone could write a code to combine proximity wake up to implement knock2wake. 1) after pick up phone from pocket, proximity sensor could power on the touch layer,
and stay active for a defined period - 10-20 seconds. Then double tap should unlock the device.
What do you think about it?
Is there a way or app to turn on screen without using home or power button?

If your rooted and depending what version of the phone you have custom kernels allow this if it has feature. For example KT Kernel has swipe to wake.

Nope.
Now that we have root is there a way to edit the time the from when you wake your device at the lockscreen to when it turns off? I like using power saving mode and it forces this to 3 seconds annoyingly this is a setting that can't be changed through the stock ui.
Thanks in advance

Sorry I don't have an answer to this but I am with you! This is SO annoying!
Maybe 6-7 seconds would be best.

Whenever I can I try to use software to lock my Nexus 6P (running Marshmallow 6.0 with Nexus Imprint Fingerprint Scanner) (to save the power button) - all of the non-root apps that I've tried including "Screen Off and Lock" lock the device, but then I cannot unlock it again using the fingerprint sensor. I have to manually input my pattern/password after touching the sensor, which kind of defeats the purpose. For some reason Android will require a password and not let you unlock with fingerprint if you turn off and lock the screen with such apps. Any thoughts? Any fix ideas? I've already emailed Katecca the Developer of "Screen Off and Lock" asking for help.
Waking/Unlocking is so effortless on the N6P with the fingerprint scanner i'm looking for an effortless way to lock it without having to press the power button. And i like my 2 minute screen lock timeout so i don't want to shorten it. A "Double Tap" or other gesture to lock and off the screen would be great. Especially for the N6P which is a HUGE phone the power button is not always easy to navigate to - especially with the volume buttons so close.

On nova launcher it only works on the prime paid for version

Question: I installed Greenify on my Nexus 6P looking to use the "Hibernate + Lock" shortcut on double tap. It works fine, except I can't unlock it by using the fingerprint scanner! It forces me to enter my PIN no matter what. Any ideas?

That's a known issue since Lollipop, due to lacking an API to lock the device without breaking the Smart Lock. I think the finger-print unlock works the same way as Smart Lock. See
