Long time nova user here switched to tw launcher on s8 as fingerprint stops with nova. Is there a way to turn the screen off on tw without pressing power button?

So I discovered this purely by accident.
I've picked up my phone at night a few times and have blasted myself in the eyes with the light of my camera. It acts light using the widget to toggle it to act like a flashlight. Thinking my phone bugging out I thought nothing about it. But after the 5th time I decided it was a built in feature.
After much trial and error, I have these results:
With your phone on and screen timed out (turned off), press volume up and power at the same time. The screen should turn on, as well as the light on your camera.
To turn off let the screen time out, or press power to turn it off. Then press volume down.
Now I do not know how it works on mine but not my wife's note 3. I'm running stock Rom rooted with no mods.
I will try and figure out how I have this working, but any insight would work too.
Does anyone else have this feature?

I know Wanam Xposed has a feature for using volume up while the screen is off to turn on the flashlight, maybe that's it.

Well we're on this topic. I'm stock rooted on mje. What's the best way for me to add the flashlight function to my phone? I miss having that feature as I've had it on the last 3 phones I've owned.

The post above yours should do the trick. If you're talking about a toggle from the notification bar, I think it is built in most custom ROMs.

Hey guys I was wondering if there is a way to force on screen buttons for the GS4? I have tried the qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 in build.prop and it crashes the UI constantly.
I'm on Android 4.3 and I'm rooted. Using GT-I9500.
I really hate the soft buttons and my home button is starting to sound bad. I don't have time to send the phone in either. So any help would really be appreciated.

Has anyone else had a problem with the fingerprint security. When my phone is locked and on lock screen I have phone and camera app in the corners. If I open the phone app it doesn't ask for a fingerprint scan and I can make calls then if I back out of it the phone is unlocked never asking for a fingerprint or password. Why have the fingerprint for security if all you have to do is open the hone and then hit home button or back button.

I think your settings might be off.
On mines it askes for fingerprint. If not thena patten is needed.
If i swipe up the camera or double click home button. It loads camera and i can take pictures. When i back out it goes to lock screen asking for FP.
On the dailer tho.
It will not open until i do my FP or lock patten.
If i do 911 call it will, load the dailler then hitting the back button brings me back to the lock screen
Mine doesn't do this.

All the ways I know of require root. I'll spew out the ways I know of in case you have root: I am using a double tap Nova launcher gesture to turn off screen without locking. Greenify has an option. Pure Nexus has a double tap on navbar feature. Resurrection Remix I programmed long press of home button to turn off screen. I believe double tapping the statusbar might turn the screen off even stock? Not sure about that one.
I feel the power button soft, i allways had problems with nexus' power buttons. But i dont want to root the 6p...

Does double tapping the statusbar turn off the screen when stock? Maybe that's an option under settings>display? I wasn't on stock for long, so can't remember. That's my only non-root idea.
If no solution is found, why not just turn the turn off display to 30 seconds?

I'm looking at the Axon 7 as a replacement for my ZMAX 2 but I HATE the power button (way too flimsy and easy to press) and lockscreen (laggy and unlocks by accident). Are the ones on the Axon better?
I would look up the Axon 7 notification bell before you dive in any further but hopefully they will add an option to disable that at some point. Power button is fine IMO. It's below the volume keys so it's different from other phones I've had but its pretty solid feeling. I dont see any lag with the lockscreen but the double tap to wake sucks, if you like using that. As for the unlocking by accident, I would say the sensors don't always behave like you think you will, sort of weird. But overall it doesn't cause too many problems.
I don't even use the power button most of the time. Simply putting my finger on the fingerprint sensor as soon as I pick it up makes it power up the screen and unlock to the desktop immediately. Also I put "Screen Off" app on one of my Pie Control triggers so I can just slide in from the bezel with my thumb and lift from that quadrant to turn it off.

Youre not on 2017G right? Pie controls don't work on the US models (2017U), just like the on screen buttons.
I use a Nova Launcher gesture to turn the screen off. Double tap to turn off. Phone already has double tap to wake, but as mentioned earlier, most use the fingerprint sensor to unlock. Quick and effective.
Nova launcher gestures ftw. I've set double tap screen to sleep and the capacitive home key set up to turn off screen. Barely use the power key although it's pretty good and sturdy.
Thanks guys-I'm between this and the OnePlus 3 (had the OnePlus One and loved it)!
