Screen Off Task/App and Smart Lock - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been spoiled by LG's double tap to wake and sleep function. In order to replicate the double tap to sleep ability, I use Tasker (which is officially seeing Lollipop support now) to create a task for "system lock." However, I noticed that when I double tap (Nova gesture) to do this, it circumnavigates the smart lock, meaning I'll have to use my PIN/pattern when I next use my phone. Is there another solution around this or does Tasker need to be updated to support smart lock? Looking for any suggestions.
Resolved: Using Run Shell and input keyevent 26 with root emulates the power button and keeps Smart Lock in place.

swipe to sleep

is there an app or xposed module that would allow one to swipe to sleep the G4?
Or is this a function of some ROM that I need to unlock and root?
Currently stock.
Depends where you want to swipe. You could bind screen off to swipe up on home button just like how you launch Google Now. A custom launcher can have a gesture bound to screen off as well.

Are the followings available on the P10

First time using Huawei, using app draw, is it possible to hide apps, create folders and does this phone have double tap to sleep/wake.
Thanks
One tab on the fingerprint reader wakes the phone. A sleep gesture would be nice though.
I use Nova Launcher on my P10 - it does all that you desire with the exception of double tap to wake, which I personally feel is a redundant feature on the P10. You can double tap to sleep, but it will not lock until your screen on time has elapsed.
The strange thing is, that (on rooted devices) by editing build.prop and a few lines in other XML files, you can have the double tap (to wake and sleep) option under Smart assistance in settings. I guess it wasn't ready for EMUI 5.1, hopefully it comes later in a software update.

I now use floating dock to sleep.

Fingerprint Scanner: Lockscreen useless

With the fingerprint scanner's ultra fast response, entering the home screen is very quick. Thus, the lockscreen is rendered useless. Is there any way fingerprint scan opens the lock screen instead of the home screen just like how the iPhone implements it?
The fingerprint is for unlocking, so why showing the Lockscreen when you want to unlock. Just press the power button.
But I think it should be possible with Tasker, give it a try.
It should be useless, step back and one step more for unlocking -> loss of time.
I would like to have a option to double tap for waking the device. Just for checking notifications/time and not to press power button every damm time.
Is it possible?

Well in the lock screen, notifications are shown instantly, and looks cleaner; whereas in the home screen you have to swipe down from the status bar to access them. Apple have thought of it and so the iPhone 7 functions in this manner.
So what I'd like to see is: Fingerprint scan > double tap notification > app
Instead of: Fingerprint scan > swipe down from home screen> tap notification > app
An ability to switch to whichever sequence you want will be great.
Take a look at this.
As I already said, Tasker should be an option for your purpose.
My opinion is another than yours, I think it's very annoying what Apple did and my wife is always yelling at her iPhone because of this "feature".
I didn't have this on my previous i6s because I used to jailbreak and there was only iOS9.
The jailbreak issue was the reason for me why I leaves Apple for Huawei.
Now I have the original smart cover for my P10 and the most annoying thing of this cover is, that Huawei won't allow third party apps the access to the smart cover lockscreen, so they can display notification icons on it.
But when I want to turn on my screen I either lift the cover or, when it's already lifted, I push the power button. Even though I'm a leftie I think it's a good solution and works very well.

Few basic (newbie) tricks for unrooted stock MIUI

Hi,
The following are few tricks for unrooted stock miui 12. These are somewhat basics and possibly known methods. Please feel free to share your thoughts or share something that hasn't been included.
1. Double tap lock screen on third party launcher
- Install OneKeyLockScreen-signed from https://drive.google.com/file/d/15kfzoSnz6WOSh8KD2LTNT297nEfOPexd/view?usp=drivesdk This is not my work so credits to OP / dev.
- Grant necessary permission
- Set double tap gesture on launcher settings
- Screen will be locked instantly, no 10 seconds waiting time nonsense. Fingerprint unlock works.
You can also use "Button shortcuts" in Settings to turn off (and lock) screen using long press
2. Add media / volume control on quick ball
- Install Media Volume Control from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.krdevteam.mediavolumecontrol
- Open Quick Ball settings
- Replace one of current shortcuts with "App"
- Select (Media) Volume Control
3. If Quick Ball isn't your cup of tea, you can use "Shortcutter" or "Tiles" to add available shortcuts to quick settings tiles.
4. Add Accessibility Menu to nav bar, as an alternative to Quick Ball
- Go to "Accessibility"
- Turn on "Accessibility Menu"
- It will show up on bottom right corner, comprises of a handful shortcuts including volume panel, toggles etc
- The downside is, it's not one-hand operation friendly.
- On the other hand, if you use Control Center with third party launcher, selecting 'Toggles' will show Control Center.
This particularly useful since swipe down gesture on the right side of home screen will show notifications i/o CC
5. User friendly debloat tool with GUI (executable JAR), credits to dev

Thnaks man! I love the 3rd one! I was looking for it the first time i got pro!

Question Double Tap to screen On/Off

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to enable double tap to turn screen on and off on motorola edge 30 ultra?
Thanks so much !
Single tap only, double tap is omitted due to the in- screen fingerprint sensor, so as soon as u touch the screen, the screen comes alive (which is done in order to make fp-unlocking faster)

Where is this setting located? I cannot double-tap on blank space to power off.
Double Tap Screen On/Off will help you to minimize the usage of power button.

I have been looking for this setting for almost 10mins but I didn't find it anymore, but I'm sure it was there in the older OS version, my screen is still able to be turn on/off with double tap.

Here.
Go to Settings > Gesture shortcuts > Jump to lock screen
Toggle on and the phone will ask you whether you double tap to go directly to lockscreen (NOT peek display) or the usual peek display.
Go to Settings > Gesture shortcuts > Put display to sleep
Toggle on to enable.

It's been removed in the latest update. At least for EU devices.
I've the stock X30 Pro version. I can tell you some menu translation is all over the place. The "Jump To the Lock Screen" originally translated as "Double Tap" in the simplified Chinese language.
Under Display-> Peek Display, toggle the switch on and off, the phone will ask you to show fingerprint sensor or not. If you choose No, double tap WILL NOT WORK even if "Jump to lock screen" is on. It's surely a bug or something. Anyway a single tap always wakes up the screen and show "peek display" screen or "fingerprint sensor" icon, depends on what you chose before. Double tap when the screen is off will skip the "peek display" and goes into lock screen. AFAIK there's no true double tap to screen on so far......

Yeah, so the only way to turn on double tap to lockscreen is to enable Peek Display.
The behavior of the phone will be like this-
1. Single tap to peek display AND
2. Double tap to lock screen
It cannot be OR.
Also, once you turned on Jump to Lockscreen, you can NOT turn on "move phone to show peek display"
This is not a bug as the logic behind this is the phone's peek display will ALWAYS turn on once you moved the phone. Hence, impossible to double tap to lockscreen (you CANNOT double tap from peek display to go to the lockscreen).
