No. There's no hardware for that.

U don't think it can be implemented on the touch screen?

Anybody wanting the double tap wake screen feature. It is cool! Not to use a button.
But will it make a big power lost with this function?
Hoping some dev to port it to AOSP
There's an app called touch control that unlocks with double tap but doesn't lock it. As for battery it doesn't really do much to battery m.

I would love this function as an app. Genius! Would make owning a giant phone easier.
Double tap to wake has been around since the galaxy nexus with touch control. LG probably stole the idea from that dev.

Yes i see this first on nokia n9
What the G2 has is a limited version of touch control by bponury, an app that is pure awesome.
Sent from my Nexus 4
I just started using the touch control app, good for waking up the phone, I would like to have the gesture, where you swipe up from the bottom of the screen, where it wakes up and unlocks like the BB Z10

Does anyone know if that would be a possible feature to port or imitate on our z1? Gotta say that is one feature that doesn't sound like a gimmick. Perhaps there is already an app that I couldn't find that already does this?

It's nothing new, an app called "Super Download" has been around since 2012 doing exactly the same. It can be found here.

This. People keep saying it's a hardware thing. No...nothing samsung does is a hardware thing. Heart rate monitor? Apps did the same thing for years. The fingerprint sensor and IR blaster is the only "hardware" thing that can't be replicated on other phones. (or have already been replicated)
Thanks!

Pedometer? what does a fingerprint sensor have to do with that?

I think what he meant by finger print is heart rate monitor.

Eh?
How does an app that pretends to scan your finger but just detects your touch come even remotely close to a real fingerprint scanner?

They don't, but some of them have a special way of touching them, kinda like a code, stupid but its as close as you get without the hardware

Ah. I thought you meant actually working. Yeah, I've seen those apps before.
Is there a way to make home key respond to touch instead of press? That would be awesome.
Sent from my SM-N920C using Tapatalk
No, that's not possible.
Too bad :/ I had it on iPhone 6 via jailbreak.

I assume this is just a ROM/kernel/libs issue and should be theoretically possible for the hardware if given full/open source from Samsung, right? Not that I'm expecting that, but just want to better understand the limitations. Cheers.

Look first at the price of a new N6.
You need to check if the user account is properly removed. If not you can not use the phone.
How would I know it's properly removed?

Get the seller to produce a time and dated photo of the phone at the second or third screen of setup.
