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

i am searching for an app that make 100% the same when i push the hardware power button.
i have tried many apps/widgets, most switch to the look-screen and 15 sec later the screen goes off.
I want the phone goes immediately off (no 1,2 or more seconds later)
exact the same as the hardware power off.
Rom is original .906, rooted
And yes, under Settings/Security the "set up screen lock" is set to "none" !
please help!
Are you looking for a widget that will lock the screen without you pressing the power button, or an app that disables the stock lock screen altogether, so that if the screen's off and you hit Power it goes straight to your home screen? Both exist, I've used both and they work for me on the stock ROM.

Power ON without screenlock: have it
Power OFF without lockscreen: i search for it. All apps i tried shows the lock-screen and 15 sec. later the phone goes off. I want the phone off in 0 seconds with an app.
Not sure that's possible. You're basically looking for an app that will instantly sever the link to the battery. It would need to be a rooted app, and it would be very dangerous.

I think I understand what you are looking for.
Are you looking for a way to turn off your phone without unlocking the phone?
If so, you can install a lockscreen replacement app such as Widget Locker. Then, even if your phone is locked, you may hold the power button and it will bring up the option to turn off your phone.

on my moto pro i have this working with an app (works not on the d3) .. root are
no problem ... i need only an good app
On the moto pro the app called: lock and screen off widget (1.0.1)
but on the d3 this app shows the lock-screen ... not off (the screen goes off but the phone only 15 sec. later)
1 app that makes the same as the power button for switch off the phone! (The same !!!)
After a lot of searching the web for this kind of app I've finally this thread and was pretty disappointed that there is no solution to this problem! All the existing apps basically fall into one of the two following categories.
1. "Lock togglers" - apps/widgets that upon starting them enable/disable the lockscreen.
2. "Screen lockers" - apps/widgets that upon starting them turn screen off and lock it regardless if the lock screen is turned of by an app of the (1) category.
What we need here is a app which can turn screen off while respecting lock screen policy.
The quest continues....
I think what you're looking for may be in the aosp cm9. There's a toggle in the notification bar the turns off the screen. Try that out if you're wanting to try a different rom.

I just saw the app Elixir 2 mentioned on AndroidCentral.com today. It looks like this has a screen-off toggle widget.

Phone can be unrooted. You do need a widget add-on and an add-on that gives admin permissions for the screen off toggle.

Can anyone confirm that motion sensors and motion guided commands do not work when you do NOT use Touch Wiz? I am using Nova Launcher and the hand swipe to screenshot does not work.
Also, I tested out the IR Remote control app which worked great but now even after i close the app, on my lock screen, the remote functions are still there.

It hasn't gone away since last night. I closed out, closed process etc, still just hangs around the lock screen. When i press the channel/volume buttons from the lock screen, the blue light shines showing that it is currently activated and on. I believe this is a possible bug. I'm worried it's draining my battery as well. Please help.
Bonus help: how do you change the background on the lock screen?

On the S4 there's a setting within the app where you can disable the lock screen and notification panel settings. You'd think that they should still be there on the S5. Open the app, go to the menu and check the settings there.

Yeah, that drove me nuts too when I first used the feature on my S4.....Hopefully getting the S5 and Gear Neo this weekend.
Swipe to screenshot works fine for me with Next Launcher 3D.

i figure swipe to capture out, your hand had to actually glide ON the screen. This whole time I thought it was an air motion that the sensors on the front caught. it isn't that at all but based on the hand touching the actual glass. I guess this is what happens for first time Samsung users... mods feel free to delete this thread.
SOLVED! I had the same issue (swipe screen grab not working) and tried everything with my Galaxy S6 after I installed Marshmallow and also Nova launcher for first time. Not sure which one caused it... Anyway, after going through a million "fixes" that didn't work, this one finally did!
- Go to your phone dialer and dial: *#2663#
- That will bring up a developer menu. Once you're in the menu press the button titled "TSP FW Update (General)". Let it got through the update (just a few seconds) and viola!!! You're swipe screen grab or any other touch screen weirdness work perfectly again!
Thanks . Solved even S pen problem on screen capture
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
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock
this is the app

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!
Coming from a few gens of LGs and Nexus devices (with this feature hacked in) I am kinda missing it on my new Note 5. I am almost there.
Knock On is easily replaced by Home button tap. I'm cool with this.
Once Unlocked, I use Action Launcher with Double tap to sleep. That works great. Nova also works with a 3rd party app.
But the Lockscreen is another animal. I can wake the device by the home button, but no way to turn of screen off without gripping it and pressing the power button. I am thinking maybe an alternative lockscreen might have the features I need but any suggestions for a Lockscreen knock OFF?

hi ,
yes , i seen and used/tested a few Lockscreen apps ,
some has a feature ,like this (you mentioned /looking for in you above post .)
Currently ,i have C Locker .... sorry, ( paid ) version .
But there is a free "trail/limited version ? , for you test ( Play Store )
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ccs.lockscreen
I really ,like its"wide/many " features.
Well ,it has gestures function you can set .
I first set it to double knock off on lockscreen,but changed it to two fingers swipe down .
My setup is like this ...
To wake ..to only see ..lockscreen notices , time at night , etc
I wave my hand over proximity sensor once (Samsung stock function, enable in Settings /Dexterity and interaction /Easy turn on (screen )
Other method ,i used sometimes ,
I say Hi Galaxy ,( S voice is disable, so S voice does not activate,
only the Samsung process Voice wake up .I enabled S voice ,then enabled service Wake up .Then disabled S voice )
After checking my lock screen for messages,battery ,time .. etc ... etc,
/ or it can be set to a shortcut app, to check app , directly from lock screen .
It will return back to lock screen ( a C locker setting )
I double tap lock screen /swipe to sleep.!!
According to me C locker app on play store is one of the best lock screens out there
( i have about 3 other paid version ..eg Hi locker etc ,
but for me its the best functionable one !!. )
i also have Nova Prime launcher so i also use gestures to put device to sleep .
Good luck
I'm using Nova launcher on my X Performance, and I allowed the double-tap to wake up function. However, I am not able to wake my XP on with only 2 taps, I almost need to tap continuously to wake it up, for about 6 to 7 times. Even I use the original launcher Xperia Home, the tap to wake function is not working perfectly.
On the other hand, when I switch to the Xperia Home and use the double-tap to sleep function, it works every single time.
I didn't activate the Stamina mode so I believe the tap function is not restricted by the Stamina. I'm wondering this is due to the memory management of Android Marshmallow (The apps is more easily to restart on XP comparing with my old phone Z2 which is still using Android 5.X)?
Does anyone using X Performance also facing this problem? Any solution to this?

if you have a screen protector, it does not work well.

Hey Chrisy,
I didn't have any issues with it working, but I did notice the option for double-tap to sleep was ONLY available when Home Launcher was set as default. I too have used Nova FOR YEARS, but I like double-tap to sleep too much, so I am using Home Launcher as well. lol
I would maybe try a factory reset and if that doesn't work, I would return the phone and get a replacement. Unless you do use a screen protector (which I don't)? Then perhaps kms' statement does apply to you and you just need to remove it? If not, and factory reset doesn't fix it, I'd return it. Could be a sign of other issues to come.

Thanks for reply.
Yes, I'm using a glass screen protector. Maybe I will consider to remove it or change it in later time, since I don't want to waste it lol
I've bought and used Nova for a long time (I loves its backup function), but now I switch to the Home Launcher too lol At least the Home Launcher is customizable (though not as much as Nova does). Nova offers the tap-to-sleep function too, but it seems that on Marshmallow (or Sony device exclusively? I don't know), once the device is locked by third party apps, you cannot unlock it again with fingerprints (passcode/pin/pattern is needed to unlock in this situation). If I use Nova to tap-to-sleep, I need to use passcode to unlock it and the fingerprint sensor would do nothing. Sigh
chrisy,
YW.
Oh ok. Then that's most likely it then. Up to you when and/or if you want to remove it. lol
Yeah I used Nova's backup option too before. Yeah I'm glad Home lets you customize some things at least.
Yeah the lockscreen gets in the way and you have to enter PIN each time, which pretty much KILLS any enjoyment had with having the fingerprint scanner. lol I think the same issue happened on my S7, so I don't think it's just Sony (fortunately).
Nova is better but in this case it just makes more sense to stick with Home. I take screenshots of my apps that are on my desktop so on future phones I will know exactly which ones to put there w/o having to think about it. I recommend doing that too since Home doesn't have a backup feature like the one Nova does.
