Double tap screen to wake up xz - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know this is feature is standard on the tablet z. Is the only way to get this feature in our Xperia z is root with a custom Rom?
There's no simple hack or app to install?
I think it's a great feature and wonder why Sony only included it their tablet z
Thanks

There is a paid app called experience pro which enables you to tap to wake phone.

Unless u not planning to put ur Z in ur pocket, otherwise its kinda troublesome for double tap to unlock accidentally.

ePerience Pro is not exactly the same with "Tap to awake" in XTZ.
Don't waste your money if you want this function @ your XZ.

Floating touch like on xperia sola?

Hey guys, its known that the sp has the same floating touch hardware as xperia sola. Sadly sony installed chrome as default browser wich doesnt support hovering. Can anyone of you install next browser or opera to test weather hovering over a link gives you a mouseover?
Also try weather hiverring on flipboard works like on sgs4. Please report here!

I can scroll pages by hovering in chrome, but I don't think pop-ups like the Note 2 are possible.

Firstly,it is not any floating touch its a normal display and it happens due to glove mode and it we disable glove mode in display setting then there will be no floating touch

NO NO NO!!
Dont use that! Thats for gingerbread it will mess up your phone! What we are talking about is using the phone without touching the screen. This is included in the xperia sp already, no need for any mod i will give you instructions how to do that:
-make sure glovemod is enabled
-go to the lockscreen and hover over the screen a little bit, not to close and not to far away from it
-if you see the screen recognizing any touch keep that distance and try to unlock your phone without touching it
-enjoy using your screen without touching it
I come from the sola thats why i know that, the sola was the first device to feature glovemode, it came with the ics update.

Ah, that explains why glove mode didn't work after unlocking without gloves. That confused me a bit.
And yeah, Chrome doesn't recognize it as a hover. I'll try some other browsers...

I tested this on a couple of browsers (Boat, Chrome, Dolphin, Firefox, Next, Opera) and as far as I see the glove mode "hover" is simply interpreted as a single touch (opening the link) or long press (selecting text, giving options for opening in new tab, etc.).
The only browser that gave me a mouseover text (well, part of it anyway) on an image was Firefox.

Wait a minute. You tested this after following my instructions above right? You didnt get me. The instructions where for how you can use your phone without touching the screen, everywhere in every app with floating touch interpreted as single touch.
But when it comes to the browser hovering dont do that. Test the browsers with unlocking your screen normal, then hovering should be interpreted as mouseover on browsers that support it.
I guess i am gonna write a F.A.Q about Floating touch.

Huh, okay. I misunderstood then. Still, after unlocking the screen normally it didn't work either.
Anyway, I've just had a look at the Sony support forums and the question if the SP has Floating Touch has been answered that it doesn't. It has glove mode instead.
So it's not the browsers' fault after all.

Xperia Tablet Z - Tap to Wake - Is it possible on our Z ?

Hi guys,
Just wanna ask if anyone is working on porting the "Tap to Wake" feature of the Xperia Tablet Z to our Z.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm9cjyvHuLg
It's a neat feature and I'm not sure if there's a hardware limitations involved here.
I just came in to look for this port exactly.
Unfortunately, my very limited dev skills aren't up to this.
Should be possible though I think.

Then our phone will be like Nokia N9 Double tap to wake up

If the kernel is supported its possible,like the app pgm (slide2unlock)

You can Try Using Play Store App. "Proximity Actions" It gives same type of function but using the Proximity sensors. Like you Wave your hand infront of the device and it will wake up. Same if the screen is on you can wave your hand and it will turn off the screen and lock.

Using this too, but not as good as the pgm when I had the nexus. We need a custom kernel for the pgm to work
You can use tap to wake with eXperience Pro
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2225790
There's a bug, though...
Sorry, but none of them work with stock xperia z kernels.
Neither eXperience nor pgm.
Tried both
Ya, tap to wake up feature in Xperia Tablet Z is working perfectly great.
Hope some expert can port it out for Xperia Z?

Nothing as such
There is no mod like that yet but there is an app in play store "screen notifications".. if your hate pressing the power button after every few mins to check for a message..
this app will wakeup the screen when a notification comes.

Here is some pictures, illustrate what I meant
And what you can see, the only difference is on Xz it's chrome-1.apk
And Xz1 it's chrome-2.apk

[Q] Intelligent backlight and Glove mode on Xperia Z1?

Has anyone succeeded to get them to work on Xperia Z1? From the thread about intelligent call handling, i installed all 4 apks, including intelligentbacklight, i implemented the smartbacklight in settings menu, but its not working. I noticed that when i change the setting from on to off, the logcat shows warning: datachanged but no participant pkg='com.android.providers.settings' uid=10352. Any ideia how can it be fixed? And about the glove mode, did somebody make a port from Xperia Z2?
We had glove mod on older android version. I don't know why we don't have it now.
And can you explain intelligent backlight.
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Free mobile app
Well...intelligent backlight is the feature of Xperia Z2, which keeps the screen light on while you looking at it.....similar to the Galaxy series...the devs here successfully ported the smart call features (the gestures whenever you receive a call) but the smart backlight still doesnt work...and about Glove mode....ive had the Z1 since the first release on jelly bean, and ive never had the glove mode
I had glove mod on this I can swear with my z1.
I guess there is no much interest in intelligent backlight from devs.
But I would like to have it in future.
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Free mobile app
At least can they give me a clue what this warning is about...because the only things left to port from the Z2 are these two, plus the double tap 2 wake, but obviously the last wants a different kernel...lol

Is the glove mode available for non rooted z1 like the background defocus? Could you provide the link if ever?

To get the glove mode setting just decompile framework-res apk and then modify one of the bools for the glove mode. It's there. If you don't know how then just go into my threads and find multiuser mod. I put 2 easter eggs into it with one being glove mod support. Unfortunately it's not working and it never was. The other easter egg works great though, it's just not that easy to find or realise.
