I don't know about the Active, but on the regular S4 the LED light from the "hold volume up button" is noticeably dimmer than when you activate it with apps. I'm using the Notification Toggle app from the Play Store to put the LED toggle in the notification panel. It's nearly as convenient as using the volume button and it's brighter without any risk of accidental activation in your pocket.

Yea it does have that option, just not the volume up with the screen off. You have to hold the brightness slider icon in the notification panel to activate it.
Not to be a bother, but I notice it works on some peoples phones and not others. Is there a special thing that needs to be done to get the vol-up for torch working? I know how to get to the secret settings, and they're set for me. It doesn't light up for me . Any advice?
Edit:
I'm running stock rooted with Xposed and Nottach Xposed
Use power toggles from playstore. The best

NottachXposed has both of those options. The volume up function is in the Lockscreen settings. You actually don't need Nottach to access it. It's just a convenient shortcut.

I think you need a deodexed ROM. Didn't work for me until I flashed the Mint Jelly ROM (which I recommend :good.

Alright, i'll give that a try. Not opposed to flashing roms, especially if they remove all this Samsung + ATT bloatware Thanks for your help.
Just an update.
I'm not sure if it was having a deodex rom, or just simply being on Android 4.2.2 (Might be the case). But my light is working now with screen off!
EDIT:
One more thing. Enabling this setting will create a wakelock that'll keep your phone at the lowest mhz you set it to instead of letting it go into deep sleep. It's a nice setting, but at the battery cost... it's something that isn't good enough for me yet. I have a profile setup in tasker for TelsaLED on with a shake on the locked homescreen to try my best and mimic this functionality (I was looking for something that starts up at boot, and flips the LED on from lockscreen). I know there's another flashlight that does this as well, but I ran into the problem of it not booting on startup, where as I use Tasker for other functionality so it starts up 100% of the time. It's not 100% since the LED takes a little to flip on... but it's better than having to unlock.
JUST an FYI to save people the feeling of underwhelming when it starts sapping your battery mercilessly!

thats absolutly not true, i use the feature on nottachs xposed app and my phone goes into DEEP SLEEP using ktz kernel,and there is another mod that u can use called 3 minit but you need framework but that has torch when the lock screen is on by pressing the home button,but i found i would have the light on by accident ,idk how but it would jsut be on with that mod.
3 minit work pretty well you can set it to long press home
Try flashlight led genius from playstore , no root need , you shake it when your on the lockscreen,awesome app

I'm going to stick with what I think then. After I flip on the light.. it never goes back into deep sleep. Try it yourself. I'll take a look at 3 minit
FYI the wakelock it made was PhoneWindowManager.mTorchlightWakeLock
This is a feature in CM10.1. You can add it under lock screen options for long press home button. Absolutely love it.

I think your Android version needs to be 4.2.2 to do the torchlight thing through Nova. I could be wrong though.
Ok another update on this.
Since djmouse wasnt getting any sort of wakelock, I decided to try again getting it working. I enabled it through xposed instead of the nova shortcut.... and for some reason it's letting me go to deep sleep now! ... I also flashed crossbreeder... so that might be the savior. Not sure, but happy to report the wakelock seems to be lifted. I'll report back after a few days if it stays that way.
THanks djmouse for challenging me to try it again!
Using an app called Torchie, just press both 'volume buttons' together to turn on/off torch anytime. It runs as a background service and just works anytime, even when screen off (if enabled from Torchie Settings). It kinda make your phone feel like a conventional battery operated torch. No root required.

Hai guys nothing new here,i thought of sharing an app i found in the play store.. my mini's power button is almost dead, and i couldn't either turn on or turn off the screen using the power key. Then i found this incredible app called "Proximity Screen Off"
What it does?
-> It turn on/off screen with gestures :good:
How it works?
-> it make use of the proximity sensor. There are lot of gestures to select from,swipe once,swipe and hold and so on.
Both Lite and Pro versions are available in the market,give it a try :good:
Note:It drains battery very quickly but with right settings it doesn't drain you battery
Link to the lite version:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.itsme4ucz.screenoff
its better if u use an app like power toggle or screen-off..they use accessibility permissions and 100% better than sensor based apps since they dont drain battery by taking any sort of wakelock..
just saying

But is it possible to wake up the screen by using power toggle/screen off? My mini is 2 and half years old,and almost all the buttons are dead by now.so i cant wake up the device by pressing the home key. Thats one of the reason i am using this app. Can you suggest me any other app which can wake up the device without using any buttons?

Hello I just got the Nexus 6 tonight, rooted and installed TWRP now. Gonna install my first ROM now, just a stock tweaked ROM to start off with Franco kernel. Couple questions please;
- How do I enable Double Tap 2 Wake on the phone with the new ROM and Kernel ? For Franco does he have an app I need to download from the Play Store to active the D2TW ?
- And how do I enable the Notification LED ?

Most roms have double tap to wake enabled by default. For Franco, if you buy the paid app then there's a option to disable or enable double tap.
The paid app is called Franco kernel updater. The free version is for updating only.

I honestly have no idea, but having double tap to wake enabled doesn't cause any significant battery drain or at all.
Seeing that Google had the code already in the device but was disabled, I would have to say that it does? But I can't confirm. It would only make sense that the phone has the low power digitizer if Google was deciding to add double tap to wake but decided to have it disabled.

The code may just be there though. The code for ambient display is on the nexus 5 (hidden) but its an LCD. I wonder if this code is on the N5 too as that definitely doesn't have a low power digitiser mode.
Hmmm...
Could i make double TAP and led notifications without apps? I prefer to modify settings/files manually if possible.
There is a double tap mod. Led notifications, maybe ROM or kernel
Hi there,
If you're looking for enable double tap to wake after reboot (event secure boot is enabled), you can try this APP.
PS. I'm using stock kernel and systemless root.

I don't notice any significant drain on battery. You're right in that it is similar to tapping the fingerprint sensor, however if I have it laying flat on a table and just want to quickly check time or notifications, this is a convenient way to do it

Thanks, works great for me as well in those custom ROMs that don't have it enabled.
The app does indeed wake the screen up on my Nexus 6P but it wouldn't let me log in without entering the device password. Wouldn't let me go in with the fingerprint.
I'm on 6P running N with systemless root. Installed, opened app, enabled, and it immediately worked without a reboot or anything. Great work.
@blakey22 Two questions...
1) How come the screen doesn't turn on when you double tap the bottom or top portion of the screen?
2) Is the screen actually on when this app is enabled?

If you are using Xposed and Gravitybox, it has an option to double tap the Statusbar to sleep.
Double tap to wake after reboot is not working anymore on Oreo 8.0.0
Would be awesome if this could be fixed.

Yes, you either set the "Gestures" up during the initial setup in the Aroma installer (first time), or you can use flar2's kernel manager which is great. If you just blew through the initial setup and left the kernel defaults, I'm sure you can delete the Aroma settings file and then re-flash the kernel to get the options again. Better yet, try out EXKM.

With an app called Kernel Adiutor. On my rooted Nexus 6,
It worked first (and every) time for me, no tweaking required. Presumably all your other root apps are working ok?
may I ask how you enable double tap to wake on Nexus 6 on Nougat? thanks
No special action apart from pressing the "activate" button... It just works, normally 95% of the time, since I occasionally have to double-tap a couple of times.
got my Nexus 6 double tap to wake working with Kernel Adiutor (ROOT), is it a heavy app just for the double tap to wake?
any recommended app just for double tap to wake? that and notification led which I use lightflow (any better app for the job?)
they are the main reason I root my Nexus 6,
If you're rooted you shouldn't need Kernel Adiutor for Double Tap - mine works fine and I have no such kernel control apps. As I said, it's not 100%, and I read a long time ago that this is the reason that Google put the ability in the ROM but didn't activate it - they didn't want to frustrate users with what looked like a buggy app. Still, Sean's app works well enough for me, and it means that I'm relieving stress on the power button - Double Tap to wake, and Nova's swipe gesture to sleep, so I rarely need to touch the power button at all. Given the number of people complaining that their power button has stopped working, I reckon the less I use it the longer my N6 will last (touch wood... )
I use elemental kernel and it has an option for double tap to wake on install.
thanks for all comments.
looks like kernel adiutor consume much battery too,
any recommend alternative app for the job? hope there is an app for both double tap to wake and notification led (is lightflow the only choice? looks heavy too on batt)
tia
btw I use chainfire way to root, and has no plan to install custom recovery and custom kernel, prefer all stock, thanks
I bought Light Flow a year or so ago and it seemed to be a battery hog, so I uninstalled it. But given that I'd paid for it, just out of curiosity I tried it again a few months ago and it consumes very little. I put it down to advances in the programming, and I'm still using it happily today. As far as I know Light Flow on a rooted device is the only way to get the LED to activate as a notification.
