On the Galaxy Nexus there is a kernel module that detects finger slides to wake the device. Has anyone come up with something like that for the Nexus 7. If the tablet is on the table it's hard to tap the power button and having some type of slide wake would be pretty cool.
Exactly what i'm looking for. Even breaking my lurker status to bump this.
Pressing the power button all the time is annoying since it's in an awkward position.
Isn't that why we have smart cases.?

Somewhat, yes. Since this is my second post it won't let me post a URL but go to the Play store and search for PGM Nexus, it has a demo video of it.
Does PGM Nexus definitely not work? I haven't gotten around to rooting my device but Google Play claims that it's compatible.
I would love to see an update for it that adds support if it doesn't have it already....
I tried PGM, no joy. Smart Screen ON proximity wake isn't compatible either.
It gave error message about the kernel.
We need another solution to wake without physical buttons.
I have not tried it personally, but does this app work?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827448
Wave Control listed as not compatible in Play store.
Does n7 even have a proximity sensor? If not (and I don't think so) no point in even considering the last two.

Well, the official Google tech spec sheet doesn't list it, but some others do list it.
There is definitely something next to the camera. As to wether it is used as a light sensor for the camera or backlight adjustment, I don't know.
Elixer shows me that my N7 has a Lite-On aI3010 Ambient Light Sensor with a relosution of 1 lux up to 72945 Lux.
I don't know if that is good enough to wave it awake.
Either way one of our kernel gods should be able to make the slide to wake work, because I'm pretty sure it has a touch screen.
Don't suppose anyone knows the PGM guy?
Bump. Any current kernel mod include this option?

This is one I really like... long press Home button brings up a menu with a nice task manager, no widget required.
i like the way we can take screenchot...by swiping the palm over the screen from left to right and right to left....but it needs to be enabled in settings--> motion

You can quickly check the time msg etc by rolling your palm over the light sensor quickly then back. There will be a slight delay for the display to turn on. Of-course you'd have to switch the option on in motion settings. Don't be scared if you notice a red light peeking at you next to the ffc after that move. It's "quick glance" option at work. Doesn't really seem to drain battery either.
ps - Make sure you turn on smart stay and smart rotate, they are freakin awesome and they really work. - only downside, it makes auto rotation a tad bit slower but not by much. This is due to smart rotate needing a short time to recognize the angles.

I'm a big fan of the magic wave. Likewise with smart stay and rotate. I also set the calibration for auto-rotation at a slight bias towards portrait, so the switch to landscape is only triggered when I'm actually holding it landscape.
Also, I noticed there's a separate forum for the T-Mobile T889 http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1877
In case the moderators want to move this thread.

I actually figured the same thing. I was rather upset and thought to myself "do I really have to take out the spen every time I want to take a screen shot?" thank goodness for that! Actually my friend had go show me that there was another option in the motion menu.

You can now take a "screen shot" with the spen of only parts you want.
Take out your pen and then press the side button and then draw a complete circle, square, or any shape you like around part of the screen and then let go of the button. You need to connect the two ends though. It's very useful if you don't want to have to take a screen shot and then edit it with the crop feature. It's also very useful to just send off as the share button is just right there.

This is very annoying.
When I wake up my phone, and the lock screen appears, the clock is not updated for 1-2 seconds.
It is very odd.
Very often, I just quickly unlock the phone to check the time and see the time of the the last time I woke it up, for 1-2 seconds, before the clock updates to the current time.
Is this happening to anyone else?
I can not believe an error like this got past the testers...
BTW: I already applied the OTA update.

So uh...delay in what kind of update?? Heh..
And I've had issues with widgets not updating properly. If I use a Extended Controls widget and tap the WiFi icon, the WiFi will turn off or on, but the widget will not update it's visual appearance to show that the WiFi is on or off. The clock has not changed time a couple times as well. The Flipbook widget freezes sometimes and some other widgets just don't even work at all. I don't know what to make of it. And I haven't updated yet.

Does anyone has any idea regarding how the double tap to lock and wake works?

I highly doubt it works on rom or device other than the g2 stock rom at this point.
Maybe scrosler knows.

Or download "Lock Screen" from the play store and make a double tap gesture with nova launcher that opens the activity of that app. That's what I did and I have the double tap to lock working. The unlock works regardless of launcher.

I attempted to write an app to do this a long time ago. If its app-based like that, it needs to keep at least a partial wakelock on the phone to "listen" for the knock knock.
My guess is, on a multi-core CPU like the G2 has, they are turning off all but one core and putting that one core in the lowest MHz it will run, just to "listen" for the knock knock. Not app-based, but kernel based (like PGM). Clearly this doesnt use very much battery at all, as judged by the stellar battery life people have been reporting and that Ive seen on my own G2.

hi
I thought it worked off a motion sensor.. unlike the HTC One kernels and franciscofranco's mako kernel, which use the touchscreen. I can't remember where I read it but I think it uses motion sensors for this, gyro or something
I don';t think it uses the main CPU cores, it uses another ultra low power one to work. This is why these features drain so much on the One, because it doesn't have the extra things that the G2 and MotoX have
no idea what I am doing in this forum but I thought I'd answer it
Edit:
The software platform is Android 4.2.2, and atop that is LG’s skin. LG has added a bunch of new features to its skinned Android experience, although its visual themeing remains essentially unchanged. Double tap to turn on and off uses the built in accelerometer to wake the phone up or turn it off – you just double tap quickly on the device when it’s in an off state to turn it on, and double tap quickly on a blank part of the display or status bar to turn it off. I don’t have a problem getting my index finger to the raised power button, but this is obviously an accommodation just in case that’s difficult.

I lose about 1% battery every 3-4 hours when idle the whole time so while it may consume more battery the amount lost doesn't matter to me since idle drain is still hardly anything.
With the screen off and in the right light I can see hundreds of small grid like squares. I always assumed that they had something to do with the knock on feature.

I'm pretty sure it's NOT the accelerometer.
I tried it, and it even works with the slightest touch I can do. I hardly touched it at all. Can't believe, that there was any motion.
Furthermore it doesn't work when knocking with my fingernail or any other thing.
So I think, it really works by touch-recognition by the display.

you are right. it's definitely the touch screen waiting for the touches.
just try it on the edges on the screen - still works. next to the edges - doesn't work.
There's this post that I read somewhere from HardwareZone:
Not too sure if this is a solution, my imagination or simply I have gotten perfect overnight on using the KnockON feature but the insensitivity issue, that many and myself, have been facing is now gone - since last night, after I performed the following tests on my G2. (Yes, thses are merely TESTS, so wasn't expecting much..)
I got my set on the 26/9/13 and until last night this function got rather spot-on accurate and is not behaving in that erratic manner any more - at least for me. Here are the steps :
First Test
- Key in 3845#*802# on your phone dial.
- HW Device Test > Touch Test > Multi Touch Test
At this point, drag your finger across the screen from corner-to-corner and when your done. Press Volume-Up key once to exit.
Second Test
- From the same menu select "Touch Sensing Test 7*12"
- Tap in every box as many times as you want and on the red text as well at the bottom of the screen.
- Press Volume-Up Once to see result
- Press Volume-up again to Exit
- Finally, to exit the whole menu just use "return" soft key.
Once again, I like to highlight as strange as it may sound the above method has worked for me. And if not, then something definitely has. Do take note, Rockwell screen protector is still on and lastly, please do share your findings.

I tried it and strangely this seems to work. I can't tell if it's placebo but now I'm a hell lot more confident that my phone will wake up at the first pair of knocks.
Also, this is definitely true for me:
The knock on is 100% effective the first try when my phone is lying flat on my desk OR vertical on a car mount. In fact, these are the only 2 instances where I actually use KnockON. When I hold my phone, I naturally use the power button. Yes, I still do have probs with knockON when I use my thumb to wake it up while holding the phone.
3845#*802# did nothing for me. No menu.
There are apk for the knock on feature. But I'm sure there are libs and services involved

Could be the motion sensor. Try doing the double tap while holding the phone in your hand... It become completely unreliable. BUT, it's 100% reliable for me while the phone is laying on a flat surface.
Well,
One of the lacks of our G6 is the notification led.
And I hate with allways display being allways on....
Anyone knows a way we can task to turn on always on display only when we have a new notification?

Me too, I would prefer also an implementation more like ambient display with gestures.
Also interested in that feature. It would be awesome if the screen just comes on when there is a new notification. It makes no sense to have it on all the time.
I don't know why lg does not implement this feature but packs all the "second screen" menus from the v10 as hidden menus into the g6.
The g6 is awesome (even with 32gb, no quad dac and ir... come on lg... but i bought it anyways), but now i just found out how much i miss the notification led from my gnex and i can't tolerate excessive battery drain by having an lcd on all day when there is no new information.
What “exzessive battery drain“?

Yes it switches off but for me it does not need to be on when there is no notification.
That would reduce the drain even more when >90% of the time there is nothing to be seen and if i want to see the time i can switch it on myself.
Just as an alternative to the missing notification led. Would be a very handy feature to minimize the backlight time and still see notifications and i am sure others would love that too.

Okay I agree with the LED. It is a fine feature.
I want AOD also for the time so it has to be shown.
Otherwise more customizations would be nice.
In your case "show only new notifications" for example.
LG has to consider that it should be not to complicated.
I was hoping we would get background images like samsungs on AOD.

Guess I'm on the other side of the coin, I think this complaint is ridiculous, I like the AOD notification or not, with the addition of an led notification it would better.. It doesn't drain enough battery for me to care, if you don't want to see it turn the phone over or keep in pocket. Unless you're creeping and don't your partner to see you have a text (lol) its a non complaint IMO.

I love the AOD. It was very annoying to doubt tap my Pixel every time just to see if there is a notification. Battery life is pretty good still. I can't see this using maybe 5-6% over a charge.
