I like the ambient display. It's nice to see the time when I move my phone. But I don't like the fact that if I touch the screen anywhere while the ambient display is on, my screen will then turn fully on. I don't want to interact with my phone - i just want the clock to show, and that's it. I'd rather push the power or use the fingerprint reader if I want to actually do something.
So does anyone know if it's possible to disable the touchscreen when the ambient display comes on?
I'm unlocked/rooted on stock ROM. I'd rather not have an app for this - I'd rather manually change a setting myself....
Thanks!
any ideas guys?
Nothing built into the phone for this. So I'm guessing it will require something external (app or change build prop or something)
Perhaps an xposed module?
If there's a way to do that, I'm really interested.
Exact thing I would appreciate Just simple way to disable touch during ambient screen
I also was thinking about this, didn't find anything in build. Prop.
Someone with better knowledge?
Would be great.
Thanks
I was looking for it aswell.... you should pm some rom developer maybe
still nothing on this??? the galaxy s7 edge nails this but i dont wanna give up my nexus for it.
This is a feature that is built into the kernel and can only be disabled by removing the code from the kernel that allows it in the first place.
This is possible via Tasker.
State - Daydreaming (On)
Code: setOnTouchListener(null)
I'm on mobile right now so I can't give you a full code breakdown, but it should be relatively easy.

Are there any tweaks/apps that allow you to tailor the backlight's behaviour depending on what app you are using and set it up to suit each one?
I can't find anything like that but the reason I'm asking is as follows.
I want the backlight to stay on indefinitely when I have adobe reader open, but I don't want it to stay on indefinitely for anything else.
I read ebooks in adobe reader and it has no setting for this, so you either have to change the overall backlight settings to stay on then change them afterwards or just put up with constantly having to touch the screen to get the backlight on again.
What I'd like ideally is something almost like the Changescreen app (for rotation) where you can choose the apps you want and set how the backlight behaves when each app is in use.
Is there anything that does this? Or have I overlooked some really basic way of doing it?
Cheers
You can try Lumos: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450318
Thanks mate - that could be just the ticket.
Bah - tried to install it and as soon as I click it I get a "Installation Unsuccessful" error.
I'm on a custom rom but I forget which...
Bugger - looks like it could have been perfect.
Hmmm, I've installed Glight now to try that out but I can't get it to work for some reason.
It's enabled.
The phone's own auto backlight control is disabled.
I've added adobereaderle.exe as an exception and set it so it keeps the backlight on permanently.
I've done soft reset.
But it still switches off after a minute or two. I am talking about the backlight also, not the phone's standby. Ie with an acrobat doc open the light turns off after a minute or two then the phone goes into standby shortly afterwards. I guess ideally an app that deals with this would also be able to prevent standby for specific apps too.
Have I got the correct filename for Adobe reader or is there something else I've messed up? That's what I saw it as on the phone somewhere (I forget where but that's definitely what was written).
It will be nice obviously if I can make this work but I have to be honest and say that using Glight is a horrible user experience. It's a case of tapping the screen and waiting a few seconds for every single response. When you're trying to position the cursor in the exact right spot (ie to edit text or a typo etc) on the capacitive touchscreen with your finger this can take many screen taps, and it's pretty frustrating! But better that than nothing obviously!
I'm interested in this too. I tried Lumos and it works as for setting the backlight for certain apps (like max. brightness for Adobe Reader etc.), however it still doesn't prevent the phone going into standby, which is the main problem when trying to read something.

especially when connected to Power cable i would prefer when screen would be rotated by 180°.
Yes i know there is auto rotation but this does not concern the lock screen an also some apps are ignoring this feature. Also the home screen is set to 0° after unlocking.
I'seen in different threads, that it is possible in CM7 to flip the screen my default but it is allways mentioned to consult the rom developer and never sayed ho to do this.
can anyone help ?
are you talking about cm7 or stock rom ?
in stock you can lock the screen by tapping the status bar and select unlocked
this will not affect the lock screen but my launcher (go launcher)
i'm about cm7.
maybe ther might be settings for one or the other launcher but i want to flip the screen globally so that it affects every app including the lock screen.
edit: i assume this must be done by configuring the graphics driver
I agree. It would be nice to keep power button on top.

i think to remember that there is a setting for this in /system/build.prop
found:
ro.sf.hwrotation=270
where you change the 270 into either 180, 90, or 0....
!!! but use at your own risk !!!
yes thats it man.
but now i habe to find a way to rotate the touchscreen as well
you will have to rotate the touchscreen and the accelerometer as well
i think that will not be so easy because it's compiled or linked in the souce code
sorry ...
yes this seems to be hard coded and needs a patch. I've never built android from source so i will no gonna put my hands on.
could anybody please place this as a feature request to the developpers. I've no permission to post in the devs forum.
well, i've 9 posts. including this one it will be 10
I'm setting up a tradeshow display for my company, we're using 3 Nexus 10s in a bent 36"x36" panel. They'll just be looping video, though interactivity may be added to one of them later on. Before I got the Nexus 10s I tested some apps on my Note II that disable the touchscreen because I wanted to prevent anyone from interfering with the looping video.
Unfortunately, I've come to find that while those apps will disable interacting with the main content, it doesn't prevent the Home/Back/etc buttons from working on the bottom bar on the Nexus 10. Additionally, it seems to prevent the video from going completely full screen, leaving the Home/Back/etc icon bar up.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I might truly disable the touchscreen once I have video going? Even if it meant requiring a full reboot to restore touch, that would be fine with me, for the most part we'd just set it and forget it. Some way to just crash or disable the touch screen driver? I'm not rooted right now, but I can be if that's what it takes.
Otherwise we'll end up going with clear acrylic overlays with magnets in them for quick access to the screen,that approach is just generally uglier though, and I'd love to avoid it.
Thanks for any suggestions.
what about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266402
then use your existing disable touch program from there?

Perfect, this is exactly what I was looking for. I ended up using a similar app called full!screen that allowed me to specify two touch areas but then make the icons for those tiny/transparent. BSPlayer has a lock so that casual interaction with the device won't do much. From there I can probably fully lock the touchscreen and have it only unlock with a triple tape or messing with a hardware button (only the operator will have access to the buttons, it's mounted inside an enclosure).
You're a hero, chaos. Many thanks to you.
Hello there,
Today I went with a friend of mine and bought him a brand new LG G3, I played with the phone a bit, and I really liked the "double tap" feature where you can lock or wake the phone up without having to press the power button every time you wish to unlock the phone.
My question is, is it possible to implement this setting in the Note 4? (N910C)
and if it is developed or under development, can anyone suggest a kernel/mod/rom that has that feature...
Thanks guys.
it's just a simple question and I'm new here :/
can't anyone suggest something?
I would be appreciate it.
Nope and nope for both of your questions.

hi,
just a quick point. /and question ?
Why do i want to double tap to wake etc...? If i have some other good options?
i flip open my S view case, to wake my device (without touching my screen etc) To put my phone to sleep i can either also double tap screen (Screen off app on Play market) or slide my finger (along top right side)(GMD app.. need root) on screen.. same effect?
To me its just as cool !
(Just some other cool methods!)
Good luck

Well, yeah I know these options and about those apps, all of these apps have one thing, they can lock the screen and not wake it up.
Its not that I will need this feature in anyway.. was just asking if it's possible to implement it through the kernel or a rom, or if its a hardware sensor thing..
because I was wondering, how would a phone wake up from an "OFF" screen with tapping on it, if there wan't any sensor to detect it..
and I wanted to see how would that work on a phone that never had that feature before such as samsung.
Thanks for your answer.
PM: I don't have a samsung phone, my question was for educational purpose as I'm doing electrical engineering.
Yes, it's totally possible, and has been added to many custom ROMs for many different devices.
Actually, to be more accurate, it's added to the kernel. So basically just look at all the custom kernels that are available for you, and see if any have that feature. If not, you could always ask a kernel developer nicely, or offer to donate a little if they'd add it for you..
Good:
I apologize first since I am using the Google translator with what I hope you can understand my question, and if the question is already formulated in another thread, but I have not seen it.
I put you in situation:
The blocked phone, I receive a notification (Telegram, GMail, WhatsApp, etc), and the screen turns on thanks to the Ambient Display, but once it's on, and even if I give it a tap, or two, I can not access the notification.
I must unlock the phone (with the fingerprint or the power button), to access them.
In other terminals (Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, Mate 9, and even in the Galaxy Note 2), you could interact from the screen of the lockscreen, where, and clicking on the received notification, you accessed the application.
Is it a bug? Is this typical of Nougat ?. Is there any way to solve this?
I have tried having the terminal without pattern, without fingerprint, just with sliding, etc, but it does not let me access them from that screen.
Is that if you have the terminal on the table, to say something, and you get an email, being able to access it without having to pick up the phone, or put the fingerprint, or give the power button to access it, was very comfortable. Two touches on the notification in the lockscreen meant that you could access it.
Thanks for the answers and possible solutions.
Not sure if bug or feature but there is no way to change this as far as i know.
I guess it's a bug, it used to work as OP expects on Nexus 5X 7.1.2. Ambient display on Mi A1 is quite buggy (screen freezing), I don't really recommend using it until fixed.
Thanks to both for responding.

I thought that this problem only happened to me.
The truth is that I do not understand why they can not enable this factory option. The only way I have been able to interact with the arrival of notifications and the lockscreen so far, has been using external programs, such as the Heads Up Notification.
That's right. Without being able to put any kind of security, since if you put it, when you tap the screen, it asks for the pin, since the smartphone understands that you want to unlock it.
o see if in future updates, or with the supposed arrival of Oreo, implement this comfortable action.
Or at least let the end user choose it as being able to open / interact with notifications from the lockscreen.
