Guys, do you know any method to get Double tap to sleep when on lockscreen? It'd be very useful to fastly switch off the screen after using double tap to wake to check notifications.
Thanks
there is no way to do that i think, if you want normal double tab to sleep use poco launcher.
Xiaomi.eu rom has this option.
I think there is an option to double tap to sleep if you install Nova Launcher (prime) if you dont mind installing 3rd party launchers

The question was for double tap to sleep on the lockscreen, not the homescreen.

so is there any way to do that?
my girlfriend has that feature on her mi 9se, so there is quite a good chance mi 9T has it as well...
Install Poco Launcher 2.0 from play store, it has that feature.

How does a launcher affect the lockscreen?
I don't think it's available just yet. custom roms? yes, stock? not yet until a mod appears.
You can do this with Nova Launcher. Without root
I am using poco launcher, but there isn't that option. You can only lock screen from some page (tapping on blank spot) but in lock screen that doesn't work. Don't know about other launchers, I like poco and will stay on it for now.
Xiaomi.eu developer have that option for turn on screen and off on the lockscreen

I confirm
If you have root and exposed, the "custoMIUIzer" module can do this, and much more. I have it installed right now and it's great

Over wich rom you installed xposed?
Official one (miui global)
You need to:
-root device with magisk
-install the "riru core" and "riru EdXposed" magisk modules
-install EdXposed manager
-install "custoMIUIzer" module from EdXposed manager
I have set with buttons and gestured in the system settings the screen to turn off by long pressing the back button. This is more convenient than double tap to sleep
I'm using this app. Just a single tap to turn off the screen.

It'll be awesome if knock on and off works with other launchers and lock screens !! Is it even possible to make it work !? Just asking for opinions coz it's the only thing that stops me from using any other launchers and lock screens !! I wish if it was possible

if your running the stock lg software then you should be able to double tap the notification bar at the top to use the knock knock feature!

It is awesome, and I know you can do it with nova launcher. That's what I'm using and I've got knock on and off.
So you can't turn on the screen with double tap if you have Nova or Apex as the main launcher?
Didn't know that!

yea that's a sad fact because some of us like different launcher, it also applies with some widgets too
Knock on works regardless, some ROMs have knock off through nova settings gestures and buttons - double tap - shortcuts - custom shortcuts - go to sleep

This is confusing.
Some people say knock on works with other launchers and others say it only works with LG launcher.
Someone please clarify.

okay let me specify the knock on double tap to wake the device should work regardless of launcher but the knock off double tap for screen off only works with the stock launcher
Knock on works fine with Nova launcher. Knock off only works if you double tap the status bar.
However, as previously mentioned by @Art Vanderlay, using Nova gestures it is possible to have a fully working knock off.
Personally I use Nova > gestures > double tap > shortcuts > gravity box > go to sleep.
*I am using a custom stock ROM
A good solution!
A good solution would be asigning "double click" gesture to screen lock. What I found very useful and fully working is to install "Lock" shortcut which "elias.grande" has created and can be downloaded from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799265
Although he made this APK for rooted device to modify "Quick Launch", it can be installed on non-rooted devices as a shortcut to lock screen. So I suggest you to download "QuickLaunchLock.apk"!
I've been using this app: Screen off and lock by Katecca
in conjunction with Nova launcher.
Knock on as previously mentioned will continue to work with Nova regardless, no no need to do anything.
After you install the above app, go into Nova settings "Gestures and Buttons" -> pick the "Double Tap" gesture -> select "Screen Off" from the app list and voila you are good to go.
Now the double tap to lock your device works from anywhere on your screen again and not just from the notification bar area.
Cheers!
What would I be losing if I changed my default launcher to Nova? One thing I noticed immediately is the double tap to sleep function (anyone know how I enable it as a Nova gesture?). Am I losing any if the other Lg functionality like quick window or slideaside?
Also which launcher is more battery and ram friendly.

There is a wonderful app called "Screen Off and Lock" by Katecca that will let you use your double tap to turn the screen off anywhere like before.
Been using it with Nova Launcher on my G2 for a long time, works flawlessly.
Play link: Screen Off and Lock
I've seen a few people mention reluctance moving onto a 3rd party launcher because you lose the ability to turn off your screen by double tapping but there is a way you can do this with Nova and or other third party launchers with gesture controls.
1) Download a free app called Screen Off from Google Play and set it up
2) Set your Double Tap setting to launch Screen Off
Your screen will now turn off just as if you were using the LG launcher.
Alternatively, and with no need for a third party app, just double tap the status (notifications) bar

Nova launcher comes with gestures where you can set to double tap anywhere to screen off.

Actually it doesn't (unless you're rooted maybe?)
Gestures that you can setup in native Nova do not include screen off.

Correct.....
The only way to do this is with a third-party app which I explained to everyone (thank you by the way for your thanks) in a different topic here.
For me, I just have xposed>gravity box
and go to nova sett.>gestures(need prime)>double-tap>shortcuts>gravity box>screen off.
DONE.

Where is "actions"? I only see Nova, Apps, Shortcuts. And I have Prime.

I have not been able to get the double tap gesture in nova to work at all. I've tried setting it to multiple different actions or apps, and no matter how fast or slow I double tap nothing happens. All other gestures work fine. For the time being I've settled with double swiping down to activate Screen Off.
Has anyone else had this problem with their G3 and Nova?

Look at my post above (post 6 in this topic) and click on the link I give.
This will take you to the topic where I mention what app to install and what actions you need to carry out in order to make it work.
Works fine for me. So far I have never pressed the power button on my G3.
Action Launcher Pro supports Double Tap to lock screen feature.
The problem I am facing with nova, apex...etc that I have exchange security enabled by my employer, all the guesters and third party apps that i tried is locking the phone with the Pin not just shutting the screen, the double tab on the stock launcher shuts the screen but does not lock the phone.
Did anyone find a work around using third party launcher or app ?
Thanks

Sorry Shortcuts
KK Launcher is pretty comparable to Nova and Apex, and it has native support built into it to double-tap your screen to turn the screen off. I've been using this launcher with my Nexus 5 for a while now and have been quite happy with it (compared to Nova). (I'm supposed to get my G3 later today, so I can't speak as to how KK Launcher performs on it yet).

That's exactly why I use the Touchdown app for my exchange mail. Don't have to worry about the exchange security requirement taking over my darn phone...

I believe the latest beta version of G3 TweaksBox has a setting to get around the security features when using Exchange. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792242
Thanks a million, its working like charm, now i can use whatever launcher.
I have Nova as well and works fine just double tapping the status bar. Seemingly works better than LG'S...
Seams like there are a lot of different ways that everyone has to do this.
For me, I have been using Tasker to get double tap off with Nova Launcher gestures since the G2. Tasker is such a great app with about a million uses, I highly recommend everyone check it out. I have it setup to auto connect to different wifi's depending on my location, adjust screen brightness/ringer volumes depending on the time of day, and many others.
Action launcher is the best
Just thought I'd share with you all a little something I found. You can double tap the notification bar to lock or unlock your phone, without needing to use the power button
Or if you use Nova to set gestures double tap with screen off app. Same as LG launcher.

Yep and you can even double tap an empty part of the homescreen to lock and unlock as well!
Its one of the features of the G3
Double tap on/off with the G2, Flex and now G3 is one of the cool features LG has been doing.

Download Screen Off from the play store and set it to open this app when you double tap in Nova.

sweet , thanks
Tweaksbox also has a double tap home setting. I use that to turn off the screen.
I've tried loads of launchers right now and none of them seem to make the phone go to sleep if I double tap the screen.
I know that you can double tap the notification bar to make it go to sleep but that's terrible. It's uncomfortable to try and do so since my hands are not that big.
Nova Prime, add Screen Off app on Gestures in Nova Settings.
Most do not by default.
Action Launcher does have an option to turn screen off in settings. I use it on my Nexus 7.
Nova has options for Double Tap, but requires a "Screen Off" app from the Play Store. Pretty simple and works great.
I have found other launchers that have "Screen Off" as options too. They just aren't enabled by default.
Action launcher 3, gestures setting (double/triple tap on screen or on home button, swipes, etc.).
Just use Lock Screen App and problem solved. It works flawlessly.

If you are on AOSP, there should be SlimActions (and screenoff there) included, which might be used in f.e Nova's launcher double tap gesture
Nova. It just works, no additional app needed. Double tap on notification bar.
That was not the question. Double tab on notification bar is different from tapping somewhere on the screen.
Smart launcher + secure settings dose the job for me
