I am currently using Xperia Home launcher, but it does not support double tap to sleep.
Is there any widget or app for quick screen off? I mean really screen off, not screen lock because I am also using Smart Lock feature while at home.
Greenify can do this. (rooted it will turn the screen off instantly, non-rooted it will have a delay to turn it off)
Screen of and lock
Thanks for all your suggestions but I found just perfect app myself.
It is Gravity Screen from Play Store. You must play with the settings for a while until you find a setup that suits your needs.

Hi,
If i enable auto-rotation from the home screen, the home screen also rotates automatically creating a lot of lag. Is ut possible that the home is never rotated (always in portrait) whereas applications can rotate the screen?
Please let me know. It would be of great help.

ok, so more info would have been helpul, you know. however, of course it is possible, this is android isn't it . You must have installed a different launcher since your home screen rotates. Look in the launcher settings, there should be a setting somewhere that will turn it off.
tl;dr launcher settings!
This is Froyo rooted on my G3. And the option is in the notification bar drawer. So it isnt becasue of the launcher.
did you even look!?!
Its the home screen! How can it not be launcher related!!
you are really frustrating, but I still explain it to you:
The same way that some other apps dont rotate, some launchers dont rotate, namely stock launcher. If you are using stock launcher the home screen wont rotate regardless of that option being checked or not!! Third party launchers provide the ability to rotate your homescreen! Most, if not all, will allow you to turn it off!!
Sooo go! Check your launcher settings!!
I'm using zeam and its under general. However, you are obviously not using zeam if you are complaining that it is slow.
Soooo go!! Check your launcher settings already!!
P.S. Depending on your launcher turning off rotation for the homescreen might include turning off rotation for the app drawer. I dont know if there are launchers that separate the two.

Make sure you have lagfix v2 installed on your phone. For more info, see general help in this forum!
I have 2 questions that despite a lot of searching has not yielded anything, and I just want to find out if I need to stop looking:
1. I like to open the camera app when double-tapping the home button. I can't find any setting in CM9 that would allow me the same thing - am I missing this?
2. Is there a setting somewhere that would change the screen rotation delay? I type texts horizontal screen and the wait for the screen to respond and rotate after I turned the phone sideways, is annoying. It would be much nicer if the screen rotated immediately when I rotate the phone, synchronously. I notice in the CM9 camera app, this rotation is much snappier, so it seems possible.
I can suggest this on your first question. I use Apex Launcher, and it's configurable right in behavior settings.

Thanks, I also found that item after I installed Apex last night. In other android OS's, this is a setting which is independent of the launcher.
I've discovered that if you use the xposed module "Xperia flip settings" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46703096#post46703096 that gives you the AOSP quick settings you can disable the screen rotation while keeping its actual orientation with the toggle.

I just install ultimate rotation control on play store. Turn off the widget in the notification area and set Global to Force Auto.
After that everything works fine with the standard Sony widget. Auto rotate does as it should and turning it off locks whatever orientation you currently have. Ie portrait or landscape.
Works well. Dont mind 4.2 so much now.
Cheers

I like the idea of the Second Screen being on at various times for various reasons. I also like how we can set it to stay off at night (based on hours selected). However, I would like it to stay off for different hours each day (like some days from 10-6, other days 10-8, etc).
Can we turn on and off the second screen using Tasker or something?
There's actually a really easy way to do that if you're not stuck on using the stock launcher. With Nova Launcher Prime, you can toggle the second screen on and off anytime you want.
I have Nova set so when I double tap the screen, it toggles my second screen on and off. This way you're always able to choose when you want the second screen on or off. I think it's extremely useful, and something LG should have allowed out of the box. Nova is just packed with options, that's why it's the default launcher on all of my devices.

I'm truly interested in that - when the screen is off - and doing it through Tasker.

I've never seen an option in Nova that would result in turning the second screen off at will. Details?
I found that adding a widget to the home screen, adding "activities" at the top, then choosing "second screen settings", you can add various settings such as daily timeout.

You set Nova to toggle the notification bar, but toggling the notification bar also toggles the second screen in the process

That can be accessed in Settings at any time

Just when the screen is on. Isn't needed when the screen is off, as that can be changed in Settings out of the box

I understand that we can turn on and off the second screen (for when the screen is off) in the settings. We can also set it to do so automatically for a certain timeframe. I would like to have a different timeframe for each day. For example, when the screen is off, I would like the 2nd screen to be off from 10pm-5am on Monday-Friday, and off from 11pm-7am on Saturday and Sunday. I was hoping to set that up in Tasker. Any thoughts?
Have searched, but don't see this exact solution:
I want to use Nova launcher, and be able to use the "knock off" to turn off the screen, but also use "always on display" -probably me that's confused -If I use Nova's own built in gesture to turn off the screen (double tap), AOD doesn't come on, as well as 3rd party "double tap to lock screen" apps -ultimately, would be able to use Nova as my launcher, double tap to lock screen, have always on display come on, wake with fingerprint scanner.
Thanks for any help
AOD has nothing to do with Nova Launcher. You can use double tap to sleep in Nova however if you're not rooted the screen will dim first before total screen off and if you touch you're screen it will turn on again. lol
Much better if you're rooted to be able to directly put the screen off when using double tap to sleep in Nova.

Thanks! I guess I wasn't giving it enough time/delay after double tapping the screen off with Nova for AOD to appear -didn't make sense that it would be incompatible, as it isn't

That's why I always root my phone to for the D2S to work properly in Nova.
But until now there's no root yet for H870DS variants. :crying:
