is there any chance to have the feature that new LG devices have (double tap on off screen to wake) on this device?
or it needs some hardware?

yes, please tell the name. I've got a module when I tap the notification bar two times, the device locks, but couldn't find one like on the LG

screen on is working but not usable. with this app running a black (blank) activity opens on turning the screen on in my phone.
maybe they fix in later releases. its beta version.

That is because there is no support in kernel to tap while screen is off.

knockr has no problem turning on the screen. it turns off screen by making every pixel black (On AMOLED) so it can respond to double tap.
but when i double tap the screen turns on for a moment and then a blank(black) activity comes up so i have to press home button to close it.
i think that's a bug because knockr is a new beta app.
but yes i think full support like LG's need kernel support. maybe maclaw can make us a compatible kernel

[Q] Sweep 2 wake issue

I have a small issue with S2W function. Im using my rooted IncS, s-unlock, Revolutionary, CWM, Sabsa Prime 8.5 with @Nonverbose kernel .7. I also have Trickster mod installed with S2W enables. When I swipe from home to search, voila, sure enough it wakes. But when I do the opposite to go into sleep mode, search to home, it will take a screen shot and not sleep. Has anybody else ran into this?
it's a known issue. s2w and screenshot feature conflicts. you need to disable screenshot to use that. need to add a parameter to build.prop, dont remember it though, search arnd on forum and you'll find it.

Appreciate the input. I like the screen shot feature so I will just use the s2w for just that, sweep to wake only.
add ro.htc.framework.screencapture=false to your build.prop
now, to take a screenshot, press power + vol-down at the same time for a second.
You could also not "sweep" all the war to the home button, or just above the actual keys.

I'm new to this game and editing scripts is a little advanced for me ... but always willing to learn. First, where to I find the build.prop and secondly how do I edit it?
Appreciate your input too as well

I tried the short sweep but still takes screen shot. However swiping just above the keys DOES work. Thanks again! :good:

Long press power button to toggle flashlight when screen off

Does anyone know if I can use that in the custom 4.3 gpe roms? It's one of the feature in vipers, but I just tried like 3 different xposed mods (gravity box, modaco, and tweak boxand) none of them has it, be a great help if anyone can point me the right direction thanks

There is an option in gravity box that toggles it by pressing on the lockring.

i already tested this option but it's not exactly what we want.
With gravity you have to push the power button to go to the lock screen and then push another button (e.g home or volume down) to switch on the Flashlight.
the wanted option is also on the Sense 5 Toolbox xposed modules but i don't think it will work on the GPE
Well i use a custom kernel with s2w and that makes it a lot easier. So you want to toggle it without turning on the phone?
Not sure about toggling without turning on the screen, but Cyanogenmod ROMs support this from the lock screen.
Under settings >Lock screen > Button actions > Long press Home button, set this to Flashlight.
Hopefully someone else can post more information regarding doing this while the screen is switched off.
Exactly

Got you PM and I have thrown the parts of Sense 5 Toolbox responsible for this mod into a new tiny mod. Can you guys test it please and if it doesn't work send me the Xposed log? Thanks
Thanks, I have just tested it but it's not working. When I press the power off button to switch off the screen, the screen is going off but push it again, the screen stay black. I had to long press the power button to reboot the device. In xposed I only have two lines :
Code:
2 janv. 2014 22:29:23 UTC
Loading Xposed v42 (for Zygote)...
Loading modules from /data/app/de.langerhans.xposed.powerflashge-1.apk
Loading class de.langerhans.xposed.powerflashge.XMod
For now, I have to de activate the module in xposed

Same here. Not working on GPE
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.

[Q] Ability to disable turning camera on sleep mode by holding volume keys

Welcome. I'd like to know if there's possibility to disable turning on camera in sleep mode by holding any volume key. It's almost the same option like in G2 (expect that vol+ activates Quick Memo). I found an information that G2 TweaksBox lets user to disable that shortcut. It appeared that this function needs to be paid. I don't want to pay for something that I'm not sure is going to work. Anybody knows working (the best would be free) method to disable this thing? It's annoying that I take phone out of my pocket or put it back and accidentally camera turns on. Please help.
Try this:

Sorry the app I posted was for the lockscreen, doesn't seem to work with the hardware button shortcut.
The only way I've found to do it is through Xposed..
So the only option is to pay?

I found a way - G3 TweaksBox is free and does the job perfectly. This thread can be marked as SOLVED and closed.

[REQUEST] Slide to Wake

Back in the days of the Galaxy Nexus, there was an app to wake the phone by simply sliding your finger from left to right. It required root and a kernel that supports some feature.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...pp-mod-touchcontrol-pgm-galaxy-nexus-t1721895
It saved my power button from wearing out. I hope there will be one available for the S6. :good:
No one interested?
i think a kernel with doubletap to wake feature will be better,
I don't like double tap as it can happen accidentally in the pocket and no custom kernels for the s6 for now.
I miss my doubleTaptoWake feature from my G2. I would be so excited if someone could make this happen

I have slide to wake using nova launcher and secure settings.
In nova settings go to gesture settings - slide up (or any gesture you prefer) - secure settings - lock device.
Yoy can even apply it to just one icon instead of full screen

That's slide to lock, not the same thing as slide to wake when the device is off. Also, there are some apps that can lock the screen with a single tap.
Bump.

Mysterious screen

Does someone know how one can get this screen (attachment). I don't like it, but it is often their when I take my phone out of my pocket. I then have first to press the back-button before I can unlock the phone. I seem not to be able to reproduce what is happening in my pocket.
Btw, I use Always on display, to show always.

Double tap on lockscreen clock. ?
P.S = I assume that 'double tap to wake display' option is enabled on your phone, this explain because the situation that you has described was occurred.

Ah, yes, thanks, now I can reproduce it! A single tap does it already. Any trick to turn this of?

Just read your P.S. I turned that option off. I assume is will be over now.
