Double tap to wake on Moto x - Moto X Q&A

i am curious that exist some kernel like on Nexus 4 or 5 to ability double tap to wake for moto x?
thank u

The Moto X wakes up anytime you move it or pull it out of your pocket/holster etc - which is its best feature! Why would you need to double tap it?

I don't know the answer to your question but the Moto X wakes up with one tap now. You want to increase that to two taps?

I wouldn't mind it having double tap those situations it is already sitting on the desk or something. You could always just say Ok google now then hit home.

Double knock would be nice

Just touching it and rocking it a little turns it on. Don't need double tap or pgm.

Sorry but if you're working and hands are filthy.. It's easier to double knock.
I think skip track and volume should be a touchless control. Shower radio!

OP is talking about a feature like Knock On, which is on the LG G2.
Two taps, and your phone is unlocked.
One tap on my X does nothing. Moving brings up the active notification screen, which then requires a swipe to unlock it. None of these are like the Knock On feature.

I would love to see this feature as well. My phone sits on my desk at work. I'd love to be able to wake it, or unlock it just by tapping the screen twice. I know I can pick it up or move it around, but the double tap would be more convenient.

You're referring to Faux kernel.

its not just faux kernel, on the nexus 4 a lot of kernels supported slide to wake, double tap to wake etc.. including franco, matr1x, slimroms, etc.. it was a special app i think it might have worked on stock kernel as well.

I realize it's not a specific built in function but the Moto X will wake if you double, or single, tap it. What more are you looking for?

It came from faux kernel, read the thanks note in the kernel description, Faux is in the credit. Franco specifically do not and will not implement that feature to his kernel, he said so in the FAQ, it's available through third party modules. The app you refer to is Touch Control.

Mine does not wake if I single or double tap it. I've only used the VZW versions though.
Maybe you are moving it when you are tapping it!

oh ok, i didn't know that it was to his credit. Yes thats the app i'm referring to.
but as many have said, the slightest movement or vibration will wake up the moto x, so don't really need it.. Yes if its on a desk or something it will move slightly. I don't think it would wake up if it doesn't actually move.

If you want it to turn on active notifications while it is sitting face up on a desk all you have to do is push a little bit on the bottom.

You're correct. If I tap it without moving it, it does not wake.

It's called "knock on" on the LG G2. Tap the screen twice without moving the phone and it unlocks. I'm certain this is the feature being requested on the moto x.
On most screens you can also double tap to lock/turn off the screen. I would love to have this feature.

[Q] How is it to type with the accelerometer (tapping on the sides)?

When I was reading a review about LG Optimus 2X on GSMArena what I found REALLY cool is the feature in which you perform a little tap on the side of the phone to make the text cursor go precisely to the left or right.
What it feels like? I kept wondering what happens if you're typing on a bus though!
Used that feature dor the few days on stock... Works surprisingly good, the odd vibration is ignored, you really have to tap on a side to trigger the cursor movement. Waving the device around, sitting in a train on a rough ride etc won't do anything.
Loved that feature but, imho, since GB brought the blue "cursor-enlargement" it isn't really needed anymore.
I used it for Music. Previous and Next-Track on Tap. It was very useful in my Eyes.:good:

Theoretically of course. Already came across it during development of my hybrid ROM. LG gestures code definitely can be ported, but I never checked in detail on how to completely port and activate it. Also I fear I don't have time for it currently.
I hope you can find some time as this is great feature

I think the feature might be pretty handy.
It isn't that easy to reach the corners of the screen so when you want to put the cursor in the initial position of a line it'd be useful. Also my HTC EVO 3D used to refuse to put the cursor after the dot in a phrase in the end of the line (oddly when I went testing now I could do it flawlessly).
Anyway I'm looking to buy this phone to my sister that's why I got interested.

Why do you care, for what he needs this?
It's possible on some devices. Special kernel for this feature. Dont know if its true, but people was saying, its specially optimized for Snapdragon 800, on other devices there was some battery drain. Maybe something changes untill now.
I hope they're will be some progress about this feature, on our Xperia line phones
[My apologizes for my bad english]
that would be great, to save the HW buttons life
You can use Wake up touch (legacy), it works fine for me but it used to waste about the 20% of my battery charge. It's avaliable in the Google play store.

It would most likely cause serious battery drain, even if it would actually work.
Our CPU architecture does not have that one battery saving core that is responsible for this feature on other phones.
I doubt that implementing the feature would be impossible, but if a lower battery life is the price, I'm not willing to pay it. ^^

Yes this is true. The newer chipsets have the ability to listen to voice like "okay google" and human interaction like tap to wake or whatever, while the processor is sleeping. Our devices do not have that feature so it will result in no deep sleep at all. This is going to be a significant hit on battery life.
The double tap2wake is related to a kernel and I think the doomlord is working on this feature in his new kernel!!!

I tried porting DT2W to our phone (TX) once. It works...but really buggy. Touchscreen misbehaves after some time. So I no longer maintain this thing... If someone wants to try/help, look at my GitHub : https://github.com/updateing/android_kernel_sony_msm8960/tree/dt2w
The kernel source is for OmniROM, not stock 4.3. Keep that in mind if you try this on stock 4.3, something bad may happen...

[Requires Root][Open Source] Doubletap to Wake Enabler v1.2

Nexus 6 Doubletap To Wake
Description
Enables the "double tap to wake" feature that the Nexus 6 shipped with.. It requires root, so you must unlock your bootloader and root before using this. I am offering it for free to members of xda-developers; you can find the apk below. If you wish to donate, feel free to download it from the Google Play Store for $0.99 (USD):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.codechron.n6doubletapunlock
If you wish to view the code or build from source to verify that nothing mischievous is going on, you may find the code on Github. Note that the code may be slightly messy; most of my development experience lies elsewhere.
https://github.com/smskelley/Nexus-6-Tap-to-Wake/
Video
@techfanatic9 was kind enough to make a video demonstrating the installation and basic use of this app.
Caveats
Google's built in implementation of double tap to wake isn't perfect. It's likely why it wasn't enabled out of the box. Some users have indicated that if their device has been sleeping for a while, double tap to wake isn't always reliable. It is very unlikely to cause harm to your Nexus 6, but extensive longterm testing has not yet been done. Additionally, this is unlikely to work on anything but the Nexus 6. By downloading now, you are accepting the liability if something were to go wrong. Please let me know if you run into any issues or have any questions.
Changelog
Version 1.2 - Mostly bugfixes.
Enhanced error checking.
If a non rooted device opens this application, it should no longer crash.
Small formatting changes.
Version 1.1 - Persist through reboot.
Settings now persist through reboot.
Changed name from "Doubletap to Unlock" to "Doubletap to Wake".
Updated Icon. Doesn't look amazing, but it's better than it was.
Updated some text.
Version 1.0 - Initial Version
Implemented the ability to turn on or off Double Tap to Wake
Dope! Testing right meow

You, sir or miss, are an amazing person. Coming from having the g2 and then the g3 I'm pretty accustomed to the knock on/off. Thank you for getting this out there on the swift tip.
Thanks, I am coming from the G3 and I still double tap my nexus at times since I'm so used to it. This works perfectly, I wonder why google took the feature out?
Just tested and works. This feature is essential since the phone lacks infrared sensors like the X. Nice work!

I dunno, but there is a commit in aosp that specifically disabled double tap to wake in HAL, for shamu.
Possibly to avoid pocket double tap? Or random double taps on accident.
If you reboot your phone, it breaks. You have to re-enable it again. Just letting you know.
it would be cool if you could double tap and wake the screen in ambient display mode
It doesn't take the proximity sensor into effect, so if your pocket double taps your phone, it will wake up. Next to my buddies OnePlus. If you cover the proximity sensor it won't double tap to wake.
This will wake no matter what. Just an FYI.
Works great for me. Thank you very much @naxir now the Nexus behaves like my G3
Thanks for this! Any battery impact?

Q: Root and then unRoot

Hi
I just moved from LG-G3 to N6, and like it for the most part. There are a couple of things I liked, which I believe I can achieve by rooting my N6
- Notification light
- Knock Code.
The rub is, that my corporate requires me to use AirWatch agent which doesn't work on Rooted devices. Is it possible for me to Root, install the notification light/knock code changes and then unRoot again (and retain these modifications)?
I hope the answer is yes
BTW, my Android version: 6.0.1, Build MMB29K
Probably not. Almost definite not for the light as it requires writing to the kernel's virtual file system to turn the light on or off... But maybe someone can correct me with some other way.
no. once you unroot, your mods won't work anymore. anyways.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/attention-questions-t3228454
Well the tap thing is xposed right? Never tried but I have heard since xposed installs its own framework to run its programs that you can unroot and things may still work. Though I think a lot of things that look for root look for xposed too, so your still likely out of luck.
Thanks a lot for all your help. Next time I will post to the right (Q&A) sub-forum
Sad, that the notification light is in the HW, but not enabled in Nexus

I like that as well. I'm using PureNexus ROM that provides configurable LEDs(like I've it enabled only for battery charging) + double tap to wake and sleep out of box. It has many more customization options and very stable as its very very close to stock. Have been using it for a while now.
