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.

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.
I'm a fan of not having to use any of the physical buttons, this is why i liked using custom roms, on my other devices, that allowed this and also taking advantage of the gesture features with the launcher i use, Nova Launcher.
So for rom version 5.1.1 i like it the way it is, but it's just lacking the option to lock the screen without having to use the physical button. i've installed the app "Reboot Menu" and it has all the features i need but the Lock Screen option lacks for me, because when you use the feature, and wake the phone up again, the Reboot menu is still open. If it closed after the selection that would be great. If Nova Launcher had this feature within the gesture options..that would be even better! anyways, anyone with me on this? is there another app better than the Reboot Menu app?
there is an app called screen off in play store once u use it, it put the screen off
what i do is im using nova too and in setting the gestures i designated the double tab gesture to use this app
result ... double tapping the screen puts it off

thanks, yes i found something similar..i went with a very basic app called Lock Screen and, i too am using Nova Launcher. The experience just keeps getting better!
I have a Rooted Note 4 (T-Mobile) N910T 6.0.1
I would like to add a Power Off Button (Actually just sleep - not actual power off)
I had TEKXodus N4 ROM on it for a bit - but I had issues with it and went back to Stock Firmware.
TEKXodus N4 has a great little Power Off Button at the top right corner of the status bar.
I am looking for a way to do that.
Does GravityBox do that? (It's been a long time since I used GravityBox)
Thanks!
Edit Note:
I did find that the launcher I use (Nova Launcher) has a setting I can use to make a Gesture - Screen Lock - that works well and does not affect Air Wake either)
Some of the Screen Off and Lock Apps seemed to kill AirWake when I tried them a while ago)
The only problem with using a gesture in NOVA Launcher is: It Locks the Screen vs just turn off the Screen (like hitting the power button does).
I use Smart Lock when at home and work - wifi - locations and all I have to do is use airwake to wake it up, then swipe the screen
If I use the NOVA setting it locks my Note 4 and I have to Swipe fingerprint or if using a pin enter it
I know it can be done as it is in TEKXodus N4 ROM I used - I just had too many random reboots (Even after completely wiping all but ext SD Card 4 x)

Yeah.. I had similar issues when watching YouTube videos on that ROM.. :/
Look into all in one gestures on the play store. You can set up single or double tap, and long press gestures to the status bar.
I used it on one rom to bring down the brightness slider in a floating little window when i held down the status bar as it was missing from the notification panel...
I found an app that does just this!
"Screen off via short timeout" DYNA Logix
I can tap the screen off icon and then later I can wake up with say Air Wake and my fingerprint
Every other app I found messed with SmartLock and Finger Print unlock
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.
Hi there,
Is there anyway to use the OnePlus feature of swiping anywhere on Screen and bringing the notification tray down?
I have a gesture app installed but it's not working well and you have to swipe to the right.
What about the xda gesture app?
Thanks
If you install Nova launcher you'll have that feature on your home screen
I have it. Do I need the pro version?
Thankd

I have been able to swipe down anywhere on the screen to bring down the panel from start. I use the standard launcher, the Space walk theme and full screen gestures and no buttons.
