I would to buy this phone. There is a way (with root or mod) to wake it with the double tap or with "double tap on softkey" or similar?
I've a Nexus 5X, the rear fingerprint sensor is helfulp when I've the phone in hand, but useless when it's on the desk. I use elementalx with dt2w and smart lock (with my huawei watch) to unlock it.
Is there a similar feature on the Mi A1?
No, kernel doesn't support this.

And there isn't a custom kernel because Xiaomi didn't released the kernel sources, it is?
You can always turn on display with "wave over proximity sensor" gesture (several apps available). I find it more convenient than double tap, especially when I have my phone on a desk stand.

So far there's only one other kernel, ported from a different device but it's not fully working and especially not as daily driver.

Is it possible to double tap the device's screen when it's off for the ambient display?
The pick up gesture doesn't always work, and I would rather have it be a action I can do to make it ALWAYS work.
Thanks in advance.
My understanding is that double tap to wake is a hardware requirement (that the 6p doesn't meet). But if you use your first to 'tap it' hard enough you should trigger the gyroscope to wake it

Nexus 6p has double tap to wake feature build in but you have to have root go activate it. I use it all the time and always works so I think it's not a hardware feature, someone just has to port it over or something

I'm using it too, but I did think it would be great if it worked like double-tap-to-ambient-display. That is, doesn't wake it fully just do the same like when lifting it. But didn't have the time to look through the kernel source yet.

Yep that would be great, I hope someone figures it out if it's possible to do
You can get tap to wake with a custom kernel like the one I'm using on my stock rooted N6p. Try EX Kernel it's awesome!

But that wakes the phone fully, not in ambient mode.
I would like the ability to turn on screen saver on double tap or to have the ambient display on all the time. I like how my Wife's S7 shows the clock all the time.
Just slide it a little on the table it will turn on. Mine always does that... sometimes piss me off...lol
Hello,
Last week i got an update for Nougat version & updated it successfully. But i have come across an issue, with Marshmallow even though i didn't activate finger print scanner to wake my screen up when i touch on the finger print scanner it ll wake up my phones screen. but now with Nougat, that doesn't work (or) double tapping the screen also doesn't wake the screen.
Is there any way that i could wake my screen ? (i didn't root my phone so i would prefer non root method)
Thanks in Advance.

Open the "Moto" app -> Display -> Enable the feature.
I think that's the raise-to-wake feature you're looking for.

settings-> security-> fingerprint. set up the FP here to unlock the phone
"Gesture settings" are not part of stock N, they are in custom N ROMs like CM14.1
my wife has the same issue, it´s now raise to wake. in marshmallow, when you haven´t set any fingerprints to the phone, the fingerprint reader used to wake the screen, the exact same behavior of the power button, in nougat they got rid of this feature (im guessing).
I am facing same issue.

I just saw this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnU6xMP8wmg
in which it said that SONY XPERIA XZP don't have DT2W feature!
can anyone confirm that? may be he was using unfinished version of the xzp...
its usually under SETTINGS>> DISPLAY >> TAP TO WAKE
please confirm
dt2w will be deal breaker for me! i won't buy if this feature is missing!!
sorry but i can't see the option in my display settings...
I can also confirm that this beautifull phone doesn't have DT2W
I will try to include tap to wake in my kernel. (after I receive my XZP...)
In fact, there is config for tap to wake and I think this can re-enable it if there is no hardware limitation.

GG!!! This means we'll have root goodies under your Tmark hehe. Without diverting too much from the topic, any clues on TA backup? Using this beauty without root (and hopefully Xposed soon) is half the joy.
@YasuHamed P.S. Double tap to sleep is also gone - that's on home.apk, but they might make a comeback on the next update.
On second thoughts
I am gonna buy this fone
Unlock it flash the kernals do the dt2w thing. Exactly the way i did woth my c6602
Btw, no news on ta.img yet
There is no known exploit or xposed on 7.x.x
I wonder if the Double Tap To Wake function can be accessed via ADB or someting else without root...

if in next version of Xperia HOME, tap to sleep and tap to wake are there, then there is no need to play around
my guess is that because it wasn't working in XZ perfectly, where some time devices were not able to wakeup until you wait little longer for screen to sleep, they have removed it,
some one need to tell sony engineers! or who ever is the master mind of sony stock android for devices!
in 2017 the trend is
1. more ram
2. gestures features! ( camera, torch , tap to wake)
3. hide/ unhide navbar ( i.e physical touch navbar)
4. whatelse?
Is DT2W included in the latest rom?

No.
Currently only my custom kernel can enable it.
Myabe Sony will re-enable DT2W when their problem (I don't know exactly) is fixed.
I wonder how much that feature, making the tactile layer constantly waiting for a signal is battery consuming..
C'est en faisant qu'on apprend
Is there a way to get the ambient display to show when I pick up the phone or on double tap like some other devices do?
Thanks
try Ambi-Turner apk on google play store.
Thanks, but doesnt seem to do anything with this phone...
i'm using donate version, it unlock option for "wave to wake" and "pick-up to wake", works well and no excessive battery drain.
On the Mi A1?
The standard version has pick up to wake (and pull out of pocket) - neither did anything for me (i did get the notification to say it was running as Pushbullet sent to my computer)
yes on Mi A1, wave gesture work without problem but pickup to wake works only on paid version after enabling "tilt and lift to wake option", in any case it is not much reactive but work.
An alternative can be "always on amoled" apk, it have an option to replace ambient display function or wait until custom rom come out.
@fdc77 does the double tap to wake option work in Ambi-turner as well? Since you already have the donate version, would you mind to check?
@Localhorst86
HI, DT to wake does not work, it is a feature that must be implemented at kernel level, so only with a custom kernel it can be eventually enabled.
Is there a way to use fingerprint sensor to navigate (back, home and alternate apps), using a custom kernel or another mod, like in Moto G5?

This question was asked some time ago but I can't find the thread.
I suggest this app(similar available on play store) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ztc1997.fingerprint2sleep since there's not kernel or other mod.

I'd like to use a kernel because this app cancels fingerprint unlock after four failed attempts (system checks fingerprint authentication even if it's not necessary).
I'll try it for some days, maybe it's not a big problem.
You can use EX kernel according to your Android version. Or Frostbitten kernel if you are on Oreo based roms. These kernels will make u our fingerprint as home button.
Then you can use Button mapper app to use home button as navigation buttons with various gestures. I am using it and it works pretty well.
No, you can't. That's a hardware feature
With this Xposed module
