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 guys.
I just heard that the double tap feature will be added to stock z1 kernel on KK update but it didnt happened.
recently I saw somewhere that people was talking about doomkernel's feature that enables double tap to wake.so I'm now using Romaur v6.0 using the latest kitkat based doomkernel but there is no sign of double tap to wake.
any way to enable it or something?
OR what should I do to enable this feature?? my power button is dead and i really need this

It's a feature that is enabled on the Z2, I believe it's on a kernel level but was left out on the Z1, most likely to give the Z2 some exclusivity.
It'll more than likely be implemented by one of the kernel dev's if possible, the fact that it was left out means that there is still a fair bit of work to do to implement it, so it's a waiting game and also if the kernel dev decides it's worth adding or not.
Also the 4.4 update only just dropped so give them a bit of time too, they're clever chaps but they do need time.
I wanted to set my Nexus to double tap to wake so I installed the Franco kernel build R 34 and I cannot find the setting. What is the best way to get double tap to wake on the Nexus 6 ?

Install Kernel Adiutor & go to "wake controls", and u'll see "tap2wake"
Where do I get the Kernel Adiutor Google Play Store ?
I am curious about this as well. I downloaded the .99 cent app from the playstore for Tap to Wake for the Nexus 6. It seemed unreliable though. It would work 8 out of 10 attempts or so. I refunded it which uninstalled it so I could look into this further. I am wondering how the app enables the tap to wake though because even after refunding/uninstalling tap to wake still works. odd

Using like es file explorer or root explorer or whatever see if you have the file
Code:
/sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake
if so, this "file" is part of virtual file system created by the kernel and is how you or applications can interact with the kernel. If its 1 its on if its 0 its off.
If you open a terminal, and type
Code:
echo 1
The terminal will echo
Code:
1
You can then direct the output of that command to overwrite a particular file with the ">" command
So with root privileges
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake
Would change the value in that file to 1
However if you have a stock kernel, this file is probably not there? Not sure if there is a way to add this to the kernel after its booted up? Been a while since I was on the stock kernel.
Either way, if you reboot it probably won't be on.
Also, I think with all implementations it's doesn't work 100% of the time, I use it the majority of the time to turn on my screen... but it only works most the time, and you kinda have to get the rhythm down.
does this mean after activating double tap to wake via kernel aduitor, uninstalling the app will leave nexus 6 with double tap to wake still working?
==
tested it myself, for the record, double tap to wake still acive after uninstall kernel adiutor, but gone after reboot, installed the free app from google play, will observe if how it consume battery compare to kernel adiutor
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.
Feature:
Enable/Disable double tap to wake on your phone

Isn't this no different then long pressing finger scanner to wake which does the same thing when its set up

If its an app enabling the feature, i would assume it also takes a hit on battery life....
how are u guys noticing drain?

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

Works good for me. Especially when in the car when its in a car mount

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?

ElementalX kernel has several options for waking and putting the phone to sleep without an app. I use double tap to wake and sweep to sleep.

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.

Hey... Install a kernel manager app. Since you use EX Kernel, go ahead and install EX Kernel Manager from the playstore.
Or you can reinstall your kernel in TWRP and during the aroma install you can tweak the gesture options and disable it...
Cheers...
Ah, thanks! Already had the manager installed. I guess I wasn't seeing the setting. I found it now!
