I saw a nifty thing on a nokia the other day (i've not been a nokia owner for about 7 years so this may have been around for a while already)...
double tapping the screen, anywhere, shows the time...brilliant.
Got me thinking if it is possible to define an action for a double tap on the screen of the touch hd. A double tap anywhere on the screen and not linked to the location of the tap. Is there any way to recognise a double tap (and then ignore the location of the tap and run some other defined event instead)?
This would be great functionality if it existed.
Just a thought/request.
cheers, cojo
p.s. still waiting to find a way to turn the hd on without using the power button or stylus withdrawal..!
Anyone has programmed a "Double tap action" on the HOME button ?
Don't you notice some "lag" when touching only one time the HOME button?
I know it has to wait to seek if a second tap is coming but I think it waits too much time!
Disabling "Double tap action" on the HOME button makes HOME button very fast as expected!
I also facing this issue
Yeah, I noticed this issue, too.
I've disabled the double tap action because of that.
we decide didn't use it until this issue has been solved
It's because of the method double tap works. Everytime you press the home button, phone is waiting on second response. This same thing has happened on cyanogemod/lineage for as long as I can remember across all my devices...

I'm willing to bet it was there lol.
Can't do the test ... sold it
3t user here..
I can confirm exact the same behaviour if you set an action for double tap....home button is not so responsive on single tap .
That delay has to be there, it's by design.
If you assign a double tap action to any button, after the first tap, there's a delay that results from the system waiting for the second tap, if this second tap is recognized, it performs the assigned action, if not, it performs the regular single tap action.
It there wasn't that delay in there, every single double tap action would be immediately preceded by the single tap action, which would be very very much annoying.
For example, home button - single tap is return to home. If we assigned a double tap to, let's say, turn on the flashlight, without the delay, the process would go like this:
- You're inside an app and want to turn on the flashlight,
- Double tap the home button
- Because there's no delay, you would immediately be taken to the home screen (single tap action) and only then the flashlight would turn on (double tap action).
That's NOT how it should behave at all.
So, in conclusion, you either have to live with a short delay when assigning double tap actions to buttons or disable the double tap action and have no delay.
Note: this delay is present not only for double tap actions on the HOME button but also for the RECENTS and BACK button.
Note 2: this delay is present in EVERY single ROM that has this ability to assign double tap actions to physical buttons (not just OOS).
Personally, I just turn off the double tap action and use longpress instead, there's no delay that way.
Double Tap Options all off!
Case closed.
But but why there is no delay when you press the multitasking button? . That has also a default double tap for quick switch (alt tab) to previous app!
.. but as soon as you customize the double tap of this button you get a delay!
It must have something to do with the finger print scanner function on the home button too.
But the delay is present on all 3 capacitive buttons if you put a custom double tap action.. so i don't think it has anything to do with fingerprint sensor, more of a deliberately action of an increased timeout.
Well.. hope they will decrease the timeout or at least make it customizable
Do you notice it on the back button? I tested and it seems no different.
Yes i notice it on back button too. Just retested.
No double tap - instant. Custum double tap - delay
Yup! I also confirm know.
I was using double tap on home / back to turn off the screen.
Just changed to long press.
No lag now and same objective done!
isnt there a prob setting or so to adjust the delay ?
How to enable double tap to wake?
No Double tap to wake, but there is single tap to wake, kinda.
Go to Display > Navigation Bar > Enable "Unlock with home button" and while locked, press on Home button area to unlock
Also if you double tap the home button it will wake to Lock. Screen
Is there any custom kernel I can install to do so?
Or use kernel auditor to do so?
I'm really interested in DT2W, I know D2TW work on the home button but I would like to have in on the whole screen like my old OPO and Motorola have it...
No kernel mod support this ?

Here in this thread there's a couple apk's (NO ROOT) that will do what you asking
Double Tap To Wake Anywhere
For DT2W, you must enable the home button in your AOD settings. Another thing is that this disables the home button icon. It is a side effect of the tweak, so it's manually hidden entirely.
What are people's thoughts on double tap to wake or the ambient display option of single tap. You can't have both. Selecting one will disable the other.
What's the difference? I can't really tell.
I like the single tap.

Double tap goes to the lock screen (and immediately enabling Face Unlock for those who use it), and single tap enables the Ambient Display.
Double tap is like the power button, single tap is like picking up the phone.
Single tap cant light up the phone in a trusted place, you will still have to unlock it after you bring up the ambient. Not sure if that matters to most people but it's why I'm on double tap.
Hi
I'm on Android 10 gsi and It doesn't have the option to disable "double tap to wake"
Anybody knows any command via terminal or Tasker
Or any thing I can change to disable it
The reason is because when I put my phone in my pocket it touches and wakes and makes a total mess !!
Settings> display> tap to wake
