Reading the Elemental X thread, it seems like it won't happen without a big battery drain.
I have it working use Nova. Elemental. Double tap sleep and wake.
You an enable lift to wake as weel.
I found a generic double tap to sleep. Install this app, Pixel launcher mods. It allows one one to use system ui tuner, add a double tap to sleep widget zone, where the double tap puts it to sleep, and allows u to use the existing launcher with icon packs. The app is by quinns mighty apps and on xda labs
Oops, one failed, here it is.

I can get Nova to perform double tap to sleep. But there is nowhere I can find that Nova can be customized to do double tap to wake.
EX Kernel allows for sweep to sleep but again no sweep to wake or double tap to wake.
It's not as big of a deal on the Essential Phone given that the fingerprint sensor on the back effectively serves as a 'tap-to-wake' sensor. Just put your finger on it and it wakes up the screen and logs you in.
Double tap to wake requires power to the touch screen. This would require the screen to receive power which means it would be on. This makes sense on an LED screen since pure black on an LED screen means the pixels are off. On an LCD screen such as this phone has, you'd have a glowing, illuminated, black screen and battery drain since the display would have power going to all of the pixels.

Yeah good point, I had that thought too briefly, till I realized LG has been doing it for YEARS and still does it this day (I think) on MOSTLY its LCD flagships. I think my V30 was POLED, but outside of that all of the other ones were LCDs. Wondering how they did it...

that's not true only the digitizer needs power not the screen
the screen is actually 3 parts
the lcd/led
the digitizer
and the top glass

Hi all,
I'm wondering if there's any alternative ways to put the Nexus 7 (or any Android device I guess) to sleep/wake it up. I'm thinking something along the lines of an app that forces the touch screen to stay active but turns the display off so you can use touch input to activate wake/sleep.
Might be a bit of a stupid question. The reason I ask is because my N7 is mounted in my car and the power button isn't easily accessible.
Cheers for any tips..

Thanks for that but nah, it's mounted in my car dash so a case won't fit..
But that give me an idea.. does sliding a magnet across a specific point on the screen turn it on/off? That's the idea with the smart cases right?

Yes,
The magnet is somewhere to the bottom left of the device (i would say to about a quarter from bottom up and on the black contour) . If you can add an sliding magnet (make sure is weak) then you can lock/unlock screen.
Nfc tags dude i wonder if they would work

I know some kernels can enable touch wake. I imagine it can incorporated soon. On my Galaxy Nexus, there's an app I downloaded that allowed a specific screen swipe to wake the screen.

Hey man. I used to have an awesome app on my very first Android tab years ago. It would turn the screen completely black (via home screen or notification icon) without actually putting it to sleep. Because it wasn't really asleep, a double tab would turn the screen back on. I CANNOT FIND IT FOR THE LIFE OF ME! Anyway, after reading your question, I searched for an hour, because I could use something like this for my setup in my car.
So, I found something that turns the screen both on and off, and actually works on my N7. Search for Proximity Screen Off. I installed the free lite version, and it works. I found out the screen won't turn on though, unless you disable your lock screen. Play with the settings to your liking.
Oh, and since we don't have prox sensors, you can use your ambient light sensor. Good luck, lmk if it works for ya.

It's called PGM Nexus. I almost don't want to give up my Galaxy Nexus (but I sadly still plan to) just because of this one app alone...it is so godawful nice to be able to swipe, or simply double tap the screen to fire up the screen. Unfortunately this app apparently requires some deep voodoo to work as its kernel related, and applies strictly to the Galaxy Nexus. I know a bunch of people have already started bugging the developer to make a version for the Nexus 7, I'd suggest piling on. :fingers-crossed:
It's apps like these that make you realize how superior the Nexus devices are at getting really good customized software over other devices.
I do wish there were some other options for the Nexus 7, like using the front camera as a proximity sensor of sorts to detect a handwave, or simply shaking the tablet.

Hello. I'm not sure if it helps you, but for turning off screen I use Nova Launcer (alternatively you could use Apex Launcher - as far as I remember, it has gestures in its free version) with Screen Off app by Katecca. I've set Nova Launcher to react to swiping up screen by executing Screen Off app. So I have to turn on screen by pressing button, but to turn off I just swipe up screen.
Best regards,
Artur

I haven't seen this tip posted yet so I thought I'd put it up.
You don't need to have one of those fancy circle cases to see what the time is. You don't even have to press the power button or tap the screen. While the screen is off, swipe your finger from the top to the middle of the screen. It will show you a clock that disappears as soon as soon as you lift your finger. It will also show you your notification bar. So if you have your lock screen set to not show you any notifications, you can use this method to see if you have a text or email or whatever, with out having to unlock your phone.
EDIT: This doesn't appear to work on all phones. YMMV.
You can do it from the middle of the screen also. Just slide your finger downwards.
And of course... it doesn't work on the at&t model.
Doesn't seem to work for me...
Is it double tap then swipe? I'm trying all sorts of tapping combinations and nothing interesting is happening, other than the screen turning on as normal when you double tap
Place thumb on screen, slide down. The screen has to be off of course.

-Turn screen off
-Put finger anywhere on screen
-Without releasing, swipe down
-Release finger
Is that right? I've tried about 10 times and I'm getting nothing. Is there a setting to enable/disable this somewhere? I might have disabled it by mistake
You have to keep your thumb on the screen. As soon as you lift your finger, the screen goes back to sleep. You should notice the notification light come on if its working.

It's kind of annoying. I found this awhile ago.
If you can't get it to work ya the screen, one-one-thousand,then swipe down.
I am amazed how people don't find this out on their own within the first hour of handling the phone.

From what I've read, it does not work on AT&T models. And I don't think there is a way to disable the function, for models that have it.
And of course it's in the insanely small/thin font that you have no chance of reading if you're long sighted but aren't wearing your reading glasses (e.g. when you wake up during the night).

Correct. Your Lock Screen must be set to at least Swipe, and the screen must be locked at the time. It won't work on None, or if your phone hasn't locked yet due to setting a Lock timer after the screen timeout.
At risk of sounding dense, what is the main benefit of this? I rarely use this, but don't recall seeing notifications with it, at least not the sort that show you a text. I see a clock and the status bar at the top (signal strength, etc).
If I want to see the time, I could wake the screen up, including by double-tapping (so no need for access to the rear buttons). I see more notifications that way as well. One advantage of this would be if I'm in a dark room, and I'm trying to avoid disturbing people by lighting up the whole screen. But at least for me, that scenario is not common.
Am I just missing something about what makes this feature handy?
It's useless imo. And what annoys me more is the fact, that I can't turn it off.
I'm wondering if disabling swipe views and doubled tap to screen on actually increases battery life. My nexus 5 with custom kernel had that function but battery drain was significant.

Honestly it is just easier. Instead of Double Tapping to turn on, checking for notifications (if you have none or none you are concerned with), then double tapping off.
It is a quick peek. Shows you the time and notifications. You don't always have to wake your phone by double tapping. It is a 1 quick swipe gesture that turns the screen on, shows you relevant information, and turns off in 1 swoop.
I use it ALL the time. I have the Verizon model btw. Whether you use it or not, it is a super nice feature and just something that really adds to the convenience.
I'm hoping to get double tap to wake function working so that I don't have to pick up the phone when it's resting on a surface.
Anyone have double tap to wake feature working on their Pro 3?
Which Xposed module are you using?
Thanks.
Not Xposed module but this one works for me. Just a hiccup when combined with FP unlock.

Interesting, I always thought DT2W needed kernel support. Have you had any false wakes in your pocket? That was always what killed it for me on phones that didn't have it stock. They would randomly wake up in my pocket (not using light sensor clearly)

That's not a real double tap to wake. The app just runs an all black wall paper as 'off'. Since the Le pro 3 has an lcd rather than AMOLED screen, it would have a huge impact on battery life.

Well as far as my eyes can see, it does wake and shut of screen. Try it first before making any wild guess.

I stand corrected, yes it does turn the screen blank only as soon as you turn of the screen via power button or the nifty (hold back) button.
So if you are not gonna use it like overnight doze or in your pocket, turn off the screen twice to make sure it is really turned off.
I noticed if one enables Double Tap to Wake feature, the lock screen wakes in one's pocket without double-tapping it. It appears if the screen is too sensitive to touch and wakes up as if one were double tapping it.
I normally carry my phone in my shirt pocket with the screen facing inwards and have noticed this happens often when walking or standing up that the screen wakens with double tap feature on.
I have now disabled this useful feature to save battery.
Please check if this is happening to you as well and post your replies.

I also noticed that, but if I turn off the wake when you lift it feature the screen does not come on. Dbl tap works fine then.

The only time it does not do this is if I place phone in my pocket with screen facing outwards. Annoying as I prefer screen to face inward for better protection.

Weird tested mine 50 times and it works fine.
tap/lift to wake works very inconsistently (60% of the time) on my pixel 4. anyone else?
Nope
Been working fine for me since day one.
Yes, tap to wake is 50-60% but lift to wake is near 100% for me. What's not consistent at all is reach to wake--I imitate the exact gesture in the demo and nothing happens.
Mine works flawless

Are you using a screen protector? I've read that it will reduce the effectiveness, even if it doesn't cover the sensor.
