do you guys know if theres an alternative launcher that can handle doubble tap to sleep ?
Nova Launcher (prime) does it. IMO it's the best launcher.
True, but as far as I know Sony's launcher is the only one that handles smart lock well with the double tap to sleep function. E.g. in Nova you must unlock with a code after double tap, even if connected with a trusted device.
Edit: I just discovered that the newest Nova Launcher Beta version supports double tap to sleep well in combination with Smart Lock / device on bluetooth.

If you're rooted and use Xposed, this module and Nova will sort you out:

Forgot to mention, if you have any trouble, additionaly install and set this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.liberty.android.ptplugin.screenoff in Nova's Gestures and Inputs/Gestures/Double tap.
It's the only app that doesn't invoke PIN or pattern after unlocking your phone with double tap. Also, don't set up smart lock in Sony's Settings, just use the Xposed module for that.
i was wondering if theres any "lightweight" launcher that can do the job. Nova launcher is much to extensive in my opinion.
Xperia home is ok but i miss "hide applicaton" feature and also dont like the suggestions tab ...

I just got the Flex yesterday and so far I love it. I rooted it changed the dpi to 240 and am now running Nova launcher. I really really like the double tap to wake and double tap to sleep function, but I am unable to figure out how to set double tap to sleep on Nova launcher. I have tasker installed, but I am unable to figure out how to have a task turn of the display.

I don't think you can with any 3rd party launcher. I was using apex for a while and switched back because I couldn't use that feature.

Download an app from the play store called lock now, it locks the phone when it is launched. Then set the double tap gesture in nova launcher to launch that app and it will work the same way as it does with the stock launcher

I have Nova launcher and can double tap on and off

With no extra program or gesture
Even with nova launcher you can still double tap the status bar and it will turn the phone off.

i know this is wrong topic but has anyone has the same status bar as mine when you change the dpi to 240. the signals icon is blue instead of white and the battery icon is blue instead of green?
Just tested the double tap status bar with Apex and the Google Launcher. Works on both without any add on or separate app.

y'know how we have Double Tap to Wake but not exactly to Sleep so here's a little workaround.
I personally set my launcher's Double Tap gesture to launch the Lock Screen app and it's been working around nicely.
other options would be widget/desktop shortcut/notification bar.
here it is, do check it out if you're as conscious about your buttons as mine hah.

I use Nova too. When I go into gestures and click under double tab... What action or app do I set it to to shut off the screen, I don't see a specific option to shut off the screen.

I found another great option on another forum. Install a free app from the play store called "Screen Off and Lock" and then set Nova Luncher "double tap" action to open this app which will shut your screen off and lock it.

yup you answered your own question haha. I use the same setup too, nova double tap.
alternatively you can set search to lock, since it's a more universal button (drag home upwards to the search icon)

Now that there's an easy way to root for LB I started using gravity box with double tap to sleep on the notification bar. It's weird though, to not have to use the power button anymore.

Physical buttons are so 2013
I use the exact same method just with Apex. Works like a charm. Although the doubletap on notification bar doesn't work, I think there is some conflict because it worked when I only had Gravity Box. When I press the notification bar it drops a couple of centimeters so I can't double tap it.

Yeah, between my last two phones I haven't had to use the power button to turn on/off screen. It's great!
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

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!
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.

Hey! Same phone,stock theme..don't work double tap to sleep for me neither
I think it's not meant to lock the screen, it's meant to wake the off-screen to Lock screen and opposite.
Or don't you write about the option in the ,AOD' menu of preferences?

Yes it's under the AOD menu. Maybe you are right, the double tap works on the lock screen both ways. Coming from an LG phone and so used to double tap to lock I do it automatically and missing it.
Thank You
Not for the homescreen, just the lockscreen. Maybe xiaomi devs will implement in the future who knows.
if you use another launcher it work perfect both wake and sleep (olauncher, lawnchair,... etc). double tap to turn off screen only work on lockscren and it is happen on all xiami device i think. alternately you can set shortcut on navigation bar by long press on home/menu/back button to turn off screen.
Go to setting-Home screen-system navigation-Button shortcuts

Thanks, my search bar couldn't find it, cause I looked for something with "double" but the term is "2x tab..."
If you want t2s on your homescreen. Just install poco launcher
It works only on lockscreen not on homescreen. You can add lockscreen widget on your homescreen.
this was a major issue for me with miui......
so I made a cool trick.
download one tap lock software from play store, then from gestures option of your launcher ( i am using smart Launcher, you may use nova or whatever you want) , select double tap > open app > one tap lock ( the one we downloaded earlier).........
now you will not feel this issue anymore and this is a bypass for this bug.......
double tap to lock doesnt work on stock launcher well it works from lockscreen , thats the reason i switched to different launcher but lost the gestures which were pretty cool full screen
When I use a launcher, the double-tap to lock works, but the navigation gesture doesn't.
Does anybody else have this problem too?
I have a redmi note 10.
MIUI 12
Android 11.

Open app drawer, there click on the 3 uneven lines on the top right corner to open the settings. Scroll through and there's an option to enable double tap to sleep.
