as the title says - how to enable double tap to sleep (screen off) using gestures in Nova Launcher prime?
i know it has something to do with assigning an activity via Nova Launcher gestures, but i can't find any activity that relates to screen off or sleep...
any help is appreciated...
note:
i know how to do this using an extra app "Screen Off and Lock", but i just wanted to know is there a posibility to avoid any extra apps to achieve the same thing...
Download Turn Off Screen from play store and assign it to Double Tap on Nova launcher in Gesture Settings.

i think you posted this in the same time i was writing the "note" part in my post
I think not. If i remember, it worked well without 3rd party app, but now it is "disabled". Anyway, here is another guide:
"The Nova Launcher option
Another app that functions very similarly to the way you’d use Apex Launcher is*Nova Launcher. The same as you did for the first method, you will only be able to use this one if you also installed Greenify on the device. Therefore, you should go to the Google Play store and look for these two tools and install them.
Whenever you’re ready, check the steps below:
Open Nova Launcher and go to its Settings.Click on Gestures and Buttons and scroll down to Gestures.Select Double Tap and wait for the Choose Action menu to load.Go to Shortcuts, and then click on Hibernate and Lock Screen.
You may have noticed before that selecting the right settings in the first application is going to automatically send you to the second app you need to use. In this case,*Greenify will open*a new discussion and ask you to authorize Nova to use your screen.
You should go under the Automator and click on Allow Greenfy, and then confirm this option by pressing Activate. You’re now good to go and can test if the display is working properly by double tapping to send it to sleep."

thanks, but i don't use greenify and this guide is more complicated than "nova + screen off&lock" option which i already use...
Easy, you don't need to use a 3rd party app. Just doubletap the status bar to sleep
You can do this in every app, whenever you want to sleep just double tap status bar

i know that but it's not confortable enough...
i even had double tap navbar to sleep (g3twb) which worked well until i started using 5 buttons navbar making it harder to hit the blank area...
It looks like you may need first of all nova launcher prime, after that , you may need greenify as well.Here is what i did and it works.
1 . Go to Nova settings>gestures and input>double tap
2 . swipe right to the shortcuts tab and then go down you may find "hibernate + lockscreen"
3 . Assign it and it works!
double tap to sleep is working for me.
hope this helps.

thanks, but please read all the posts again before posting what i (we) already know and wrote
1. i already have nova prime (else - i won't be asking because gestures don't work with free version anyway)
2. i've said that i got it working with "screen off & lock" app
cheers
Screen turns off if knocked on or close to status bar when I do it.
But what is the problem with having another app installed? Its size is ridiculous and it solves your problem, and always you can hide if u dont want to see it.

Greenify is the only solution for you if your using Stock ROM

people - please read the posts before you suggest something already solved or written...
From the apps that I have Tasker and GravityBox can do screen off/sleep. And if you are using them already that doesn't count as an extra app, right?
Just realized this myself, one less app in my phone. I think I will go with tasker since I already run a lot of stuff with it.

Oh man, you should try tasker. It's what puts SMART in smartphone. Was messing around today with it. I found an old buss ticket that can work as nfc tag and put it on my phone holder on bicycle. I have set it to trigger launching Strava app, turning on GPS, setting brightness to max and forcing landscape mode for that app. And when I exit app, BAM, it reverts everything back the way it was. It's like slide and click instead of multiple actions. Might be overly excited about it right now, and definitely off topic here, but had to mention it hehe. I hope you will find a way to use that gesture the way you want, everything is possible on android

if you knew how i use my device you'd be asking "why don't i use nokia 3310 instead?"
no gps, no bluetooth, no location of any kind, no gaming, half of google services blocked etc...
no vibers, no hangouts, no skypes, no syncs - some calls, few sms messages... (i mostly communicate through google chat and emails while on pc since most of my work depends on beeing on pc anyway)
i read articles, browse and listen to music 90% of the time...
call me old fashioned - but i still love to have some "human manual control" over things on my device
hi there,
1. i notice that since my S5 which had LP installed, on S7e i cant use the menu button for menu actions cause it is always forces the recent app screen, when i use xda app on my S7e i cant seem to reply or add a new message because isted of showing me the menu of the thread if i press menu button it goes to recent or if i try to press a little longer it give me a notice that xda app does not support multy window.
no matter what i try i cant seem to use the button as menu. and i cant seem to find in settings how to turn it off or at least turn of multy window which will probably will help to use menu button as menu.
/ found a solution for that problem....its called multy window toggle for samsung from play store. stops the annoying multy window.
for the google now that keeps popping on home button just need to uninstall google app and force it to factory app and it wont pop by pressing home button.
2. also on my older S5 with LP i had the option to share media with my ADB streamer via nearby devices in the settings menu. once i open the nearby devices i had few option on which file to share and to which device. but now in the S7e i have the nearby devices but i cant seem to share media with my streamer no more, plus i dont see any option to share media except the on off button and small explanation text about the nearby thing.
for this issue i still didnt find any solution.
both S5 and S7e are stock, my S5 is rooted tho.
can anyone enlighten me about this. maybe i just missed something about both issues ?
thanks for helpers

Hey guys. I recently updated to Nougat on my 6p, and was disappointed to find a lack of immersive mode. With our screen being OLED, and susceptible to burn in, I wanted to find a solution. After some digging, I discovered a fix that could be implemented using Tasker, and wanted to share the profile in case anyone else out there found themselves in my position. You will need Tasker, and you will need to be rooted. Load up the profile, and then click on the event trigger, and select the apps you want to use immersive mode with. As it's setup now, opening the designated apps will enable immersive mode, and exiting the app will disable it. Let me know if you need any help getting this up and running.

Just what I was missing in Nougat, except the volume - press to skip tracks.
Once the navbar is hidden, can just swipe up to get it back, or do I need pie controls to have this work?
any workaround for not exiting immersive mode when opening the keyboard inside a designated app?

Happy to help. You can just swipe up to get the navbar back. I've been trying to figure out a solution to the volume button media controls, but so far have been unable to figure anything out. There's an app called Button Mapper that is currently in beta that allows you to define button long presses. Two big caveats are the screen must be on, and the current build still seems a bit janky. It's entirely possible that it's my rom that isn't playing nice, but occasionally I'd get a situation where my volume just wouldn't change. Maybe give it a try, perhaps you'd have better luck.

I've downloaded the xml and installed tasker again. I've added a profile and selected chrome beta as trigger. How do I make it call the xml. Sorry for the dumb question, but since most roms provide what I need today, I haven't used tasker for a while. Thanks for the help.
OK, found it. Long press on profile tab and choose import option.
In Nougat 7.1.2 when using dual sims, the Green call button showed the two carriers you were using and you'd just press which one to start the call...
Now in Oreo the Green call button is the typical round circle, and when you tap it, now you get a popup window that says, 'Call with', showing both the carriers and you click on one.
Has anyone using dual sim cards noticed this? I really don't like this popup window and the extra step involved here, and would love to have the option the way it was in Nougat, if possible...

Request the APK of the Nougat version of the phone app from someone who has Nougat installed. Install it, and disable the Oreo version of the phone app.
Pls go to settings --> network and internet --> sim cards --> unders calls select preffered carrier.. that's all
What DoR3M3 wants is, the phone dialer should always show two "call" buttons for two sims,
So that he can easily choose irrespective of what's there selected in settings
Nougat dialer had that, which even i loved... In oreo its removed.
Me too want it back.

Yes someone understands! Why developers remove great UI options, I'll never understand! LOL
After all, doesn't anyone remember the day Popups came to town? Well, now some bone head developer makes this into a popup window choice, as if a popup anywhere is acceptable...
By the way, who removed this, Google or Xiaomi? We need to seriously round up the troops and get this bloody put back the way it was, because it was better!

I think it's Google.
A bad move...
If I figure out how to get it back/ or at least an alternative, I'll let you know
To clear some air. On Nougat, community and user criticised Google and Xiaomi for using AOSP code to build AOSP Ron when this phone was mentioned to be Google supported. Meaning, Nougat' dialer is directly from AOSP code and that supports dual call options.
On Oreo, Google and Xiaomi move comeletly to Google software and that is why now you see Google dialer(does not support dual call option like on AOSP) And messages app replaced. To name a few.
Hope this helps. In case you need the desired Dialer, try ZenUi dialer from playstore. It is great alternative from ASUS

Yeah, it's true. Earlier in N, I could delete call log of an individual in batch with an ease, but in O, I'm forced to delete it one by one, which is tiresome and irritating.
But did you noticed, even if you call from the other sim from ZenUi dialer. The call is made from the preferred sim.
@Eshwar123 thanks, I hope you or someone can figure out how to put it back...

This being AndroidOne, I thought ASOP would be correct, not Google...
I wonder if using the Feedback app is good, anyone use it? I'd rather not send something directly through the phone for security reasons... hmm Mi Community has a Feedback section on the forum, or maybe best just to email them... [email protected]
If the Bixby button is bothering you, I present an alternative method for remapping it to whatever you want using Button Mapper. On the Note 9 specifically, there are some differences in the way Button Mapper works compared to other Bixby remappers. I am the developer of this app and intentionally made it work differently so you have a choice. Button Mapper version 0.75 or later is required for the Note 9, check links at bottom of post.
Please note that if you have rooted your Note 9, Button Mapper allows single, double and long press native Bixby remapping that works perfectly with no limitations whatsoever.
Advantages:
-Bixby never appears, it can be completely disabled and remapping still works
-Single press and long press actions available
-native remapping, meaning it's faster. No polling involved, it reacts to the button press input event
-far more actions and features available than other remapping apps
Disadvantage:
-must run adb shell command after every boot
The disadvantage is not that bad, because you don't need to restart your device very often. I often let my phones run for weeks without reboot.
Please don't complain about having to do the adb command after every boot. I'm simply presenting this as an alternative method for interested users who would like to put in a little extra effort to get a better experience. If this is not for you, just move on and use something else.
Button Mapper is free on Google Play or XDA Labs (version 0.75 or later is required for Note 9 support)
XDA Labs (latest version always available)

Google Play (version with Note 9 support may not be available yet)

I almost never reboot my device unless I have something to flash. I am very familiar with debloating my devices via ADB. I will give it a try. Thank you for offering a way for non-root users to remap the Bixby button.
This is the best app for remapping the Bixby button to something useful. Works perfectly on my Note 9 even with Bixby 2.0. People shouldn't even bother with any other app.
It takes a 30-second ADB session and you're all set. No lag, no Bixby popups. The only niggle is it needs to be restarted every reboot but that's not a big deal.
I've used BXActions but I prefer this a whole lot more. Just a cleaner experience.
Whoa.. thanks man.
This is just like I remapped the button on my rooted S8. Cant wait to try it.
I have a question though. Is it possible to run the adb from within the phone itself? I know theres a terminal app, but I believe it needs root? I can't remember.
Thanks.
Not sure what I did wrong. I was able to remap both the single press and long press, but it does the customized action as well as launch Bixby voice at the same time.
I'm happy with just disabling Bixby voice really. My device is not rooted.
Edit: Just figured out what I missed. I forgot to add "-d" to the adb command to disable Bixby assistant. Now it works perfectly. Sorry for being a dumbass. lol

It's impossible to run the command from the phone, unfortunately.
Thanks flar2!! I really appreciate all of the work that you do. This is my 3rd app that I've purchased from you, and it won't be the last! I was using bxActions, but that app pales in comparison to this button mapper. I'm just glad I stumbled across this thread. Button Mapper Pro has made my Note 9 complete, thanks again for everything you do. I look forward to what ever is next.
Hi @flar2,
In note 9, there's a system default option to control media volume using the vol buttons. See attached pic.
But when I enable vol buttons on the mapper, it results to controlling the ringtone. And even if the toggle is on for the media control, the app still overrides the action.
I see there's a pro setting to gain back the media volume.

The app has no way of knowing about that setting, so it is ignored. You can use the default to media option in Button Mapper

Bixby works with the screen off by default
After using bxactions for a few days, I decided to try this app instead, and it works ALOT better! Thank you OP.
I almost never reboot my phones, so the adb thing is no big deal for me.
As much as I like bxActions, I even ended up buying the pro version, I can't help but say this just works better. I made the adb command into a batch file that I can just double click so that's not much of an issue, but I do have a couple questions/requests:
Is it normal for double tap to be greyed out? Can you add an immersive toggle to the list of available commands?
One thing I liked about bxActions is the ability to change what the button does while locked/lockscreen vs unlocked, is it possible to implement that here too?
Thanks!

I'm looking into double tap. Currently it's not available for Bixby on the N9.
Note 9 lock and home
Note nine lock and home
Hey there, using this app on my Note 9 instead of bxActions. I can say its working much better but Im missing a few features. Is it possible to have a Sound/Vibrate Toggle like bxActions without going though DND mode, like on IOS? A fullscreen mode toggle action would also be really useful.
Also having different actions for buttonpresses while locked vs. unlocked would be great. Thank you!

@flar2:
Whenever I use USB tethering, button mapper stops working until I run the adb command again, do you know what causes this? So apparently its not only a phone reboot that deletes the adb settings but also usb tethering
