Is there a way or app to turn on screen by swiping without using home or power button?

Tap Tap App ( Screen On-Off )
Tap Unlock (Screen unlock)
search play.store these apps working with tap but swiping on off screen is little bit meaningless !
:good:
I've been looking around for options to avoid using the physical power button to turn my N6 on or off. The double-tap-to-wake functionality has been documented elsewhere (here, for instance), though I've found it harder to implement a gesture to turn off the screen. I finally happened upon using the "input keyevent" shell command. This is different (in a better way) from using a Device Administrator app that locks your screen; the input keyevent command exactly duplicates the power button behavior and so will obey your settings for when to actually lock the phone (as opposed to just turning the screen off). If you have root and Tasker, it turns out that all of this is easy to do; both the double-tap-to-wake and gesture-to-sleep actions don't require stand-alone apps to implement.
Requirements:
Root access
Tasker
A custom launcher (like Nova) that allows you to implement gesture shortcuts
For double-tap-to-wake, create a Tasker task (I call it "DTTW") that has one step: Run Shell (under "Code"), where the Command is echo 'AUTO' > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/1-004a/tsp Check the "Use Root" option.
For gesture-to-sleep, create a Tasker task (I call it "Turn Off") that has one step: Run Shell (again, under "Code"), where the Command is input keyevent 26 Again, check the "Use Root" option. You may have to choose an icon to link the task to a launcher gesture.
Now, to implement double-tap-to-wake, run the DTTW task, and you're done. It will reset (i.e., double-tap-to-wake will no longer work) when you reboot, so you can set a profile to have Tasker run the DTTW task on Device Boot (this is an Event, under "System").
To implement gesture-to-sleep, use your launcher to choose a gesture that launches the Turn Off task. Using the Nova launcher, I started Nova Settings --> Gestures and Buttons --> Swipe up Two fingers (the gesture I chose) --> Shortcuts --> Task Shortcut --> choose the Turn Off task. Now, whenever I swipe up with two fingers on my home screen, the screen goes off.
Done! Easy! Free!

But I believe that locks your phone. I just want to turn off the screen, as if I'm pressing the power button.

no. it just turns your screen off, just like pressing the power button. if you have a password set, itll lock the device, just like using the power button.

Are you sure? If I have a PIN set, with my phone set to lock 10 minutes after screen off, you're saying that the lock screen widget will turn off my phone but not lock it (for 10 minutes)? I think it locks it immediately.

itll behave the same way as pressing the power button to turn off the screen.
yup, I use it and it is the same thing as turning your phone off with the power button.

Well, I have nothing against Lock Screen Widget, but when I installed it and used it, it immediately made me enter a PIN to unlock my phone, even though this wouldn't happen for 10 minutes after pressing the power button.
Just wanted to say thank you for this. I have a smart watch and use that smart lock feature where if my watch is connected my screen won't lock.
All the lock screen apps in the play store lock my screen regardless if my watch is connect. But your method with tasker works perfectly thank you so much.

what file do I need to modify to remap the home button .. i have tried
system/usr/keylayout/atmel_mxt_ts.kl
system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl
there are tons of other files, which one is the correct one??
I want to remap home button to turn on/off screen ... as I have the ridiculous issue with my s5 where the screen does not wake up (only the capacitive keys light up)
Home already wakes the phone up, NOVA Launcher can map it to any shortcut or app you like, find one that locks the screen and map it to that
Or are you saying that Home no longer wakes up the screen?
Settings > Device > Accessibility > Dexterity and interaction > Air Wake Up
You can wake the phone up by waving your hand over the sensors

I want the home button to behave exactly as the power button...i once remapped it but i forgot which file I edited
I always hate that swipe to enter your pin thingy, always disabled it on my other devices. So stupid to have to double unlock a device.
How can I get rid of it on the S8?
1) You can try going into settings>lock screen & security and set screen lock type to None.
2) Additionally you can enable Unlock with Home button in display>navigation bar settings and if you just press Home button, it will go to home screen(if you have no lock set)
3) Why not add a fingerprint(s) and just put your finger on it and it will take you directly to home screen.
When I unlock the phone with finger print ,it directly opens to the Home Screen.How it can be made to open the Lock Screen?
I think it is OK to FP open to Home Screen. I cannot imagine why one would open to Lock Screen and next once more unlock. This does not make sense.

you can also double tap your phone screen, which will show the lock screen...
Ok,thank you jeryl.But,if I activate double tap, will it affect the battery consumption?

Shure it will. Touch sensor of the screen will be constantly enabled this way consuming power
