Not sure if anyone using nova knows this or anyone interested or anyone wants to get nova or whatever reason just likes to have this feature.
First step is install nova and prime (I think it requires this because we need the gesture)
Go to app store and download Screen off and lock by katecca. (You might wanna activate the app first) .
Once downloaded go to nova setting. Go under gesture and buttons. Select double tap. On the top tab select app. Scroll down to screen off (under s). When you first select it. It will have to activate the app first and just hit yes/activate it. (Unless you activated it first)
Once done..
You can now double tap anywhere to get screen off instead of the status bar.
Awesome! Thanks for the tip!

Thanks! Good find till a dev can get the wake/sleep working without issues!
Now if only the back button was on the right hand side so when I use the phone in my right hand I can reach it.
If you have greenify you can link doubletap to that also.
That's what I've been doing for a while myself... Double tap will Hibernate + Lock phone aka Sleep.
Works very well
how about the other way?

G3 allows you to open and unlock phone? with tap patterns. Would love❤ to see that on this phone?.
Works but really does lock the phone so Smart Lock doesn't function when you're in a trusted location.. anyone know of a workaround or an app similar that will work with Lollipop?
Validus ROM has double table status bar to sleep. You can download it on their google + page.
I know this thread is a little old. Is this still the best double tap to sleep method through Nova?
Here is a work around to the popular double tap to lock when using Nova Launcher.
All you need to do is to download "screen off and lock" from the Google Play store, then go into Nova's "gestures and buttons" settings menu and tie double tap to the screen off and lock app.
Then it should work as it does with the standard launcher.
Thank for the tip
Or if you have greenify you can tie the double tap to hibernate and it does exactly he same. Actually I prefer since, I use greenify on my phone anyways.

Nice tip! Thanks!
What shortcut you use on Greenify? Hibernate or Hibernate+Lock Screen?
Or you can just double tap the top of the status bar works with any launcher
Thanks for that dude

Scrren Off app + Nova Launcher Pro with the gesture option (double tap executing the screen off)
Just works! :good:
With 3rd party lock apps I had issues with the keylock activating even though i had smartlock set to deactivate my pin when my phone is connected to my pebble watch. So i now use tasker to double tap off with nova from anywhere on the screen.
In tasker set up a new task to mimic a press of the power button:
New task>code > run shell> Command> input keyevent 26
Tick use root access.
Then point novas double tap gesture to the task. Because its mimicking the power button press it doesn't interfere with smartlock.

Can you please explain how to "point novas double tap gesture to the task"? Thank you very much!
Hi
In nova settings > gestures> double tap> shortcuts> task shortcuts> select the name you gave to the task you created.

Hi and thank you. I did that and it interacts with tasker on double tap, as i see the message from super su. I guess i didn't set up tasker as it should.. Any ideas?
Not sure but you might need to give the task in tasker an icon for it to work?

You can even use Greenify for this trick.
After unlocking my phone with my password, it goes immediately to my phone keypad. How do I change it to go immediately to my home screen instead? I've searched through my settings multiple times and in the user guide and have searched online and I can't find anything. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance!!
Are you using the stock launcher?

Sorry to sound dumb, but ... I have no clue. How can I find out?
When swiping the lockscreen do it in the center, if you swipe close to the left it will trigger the phone shortcut and it will launch the phone app

Why double tap or any number of taps??
If you tap on your screens, you may have a chance of mistakenly opening an app!
This following solution is more practical:
"Swipe home button" in Play store. An easy and practical way to get to home screen, works well.

How's battery usage? Is it significant?
Also, I'm using the version you posted but it's not working when the screen is off. I'm sure I deactivated all app-killing process. I don't think it's this.

Use
Gravity box exposed for mm for INTERNETspeed meater.
Enable show notifications option in setting. It shows that your app.is running
I noticed after selecting Google keyboard as default keyboard and disabling "Show app icon" in Advanced settings for Google keyboard, the "Select input method" notification icon is still visible.
I figured out that disabling the app "Swype for Honor" will make the icon disappear.
Of course. That icon let's you choose between keyboards. Disabling one will give you no choices at all.

Ya I'm aware of this. It just annoyed me so I fixed the issue.
Just might uninstall the unused keyboard and make system more snappy.

True. But Swype for Honor can't be disabled without root. I have root, but others may not. This is why I created this thread.

There is another issue: I use Swiftkey and I can not disable both huawei and google keyboard. If I do it after the first usage it will turn itself back on. The only way to turn the icon off if you use a 3rd party keyboard is when you start to type tap and hold on the notification in the notification bar. Than you can disable the notification for selecting keyboard. Unfortunatelly what this all does that you won't see the tiny icon at the top but you will have the notification in the notification center (which basicly you won't see unless you pull down the center.). Obviously these are the options withouth root with it you can do whatever you want

That's not my experience. I've uninstalled all keyboards and replaced them with a updated Swipe and it really feels quicker to launch keyboard.
Other way to do it is to clean data, stop app, then disable it. It might ask if we want to uninstall updates and that's a yes.
