I don't know about the Active, but on the regular S4 the LED light from the "hold volume up button" is noticeably dimmer than when you activate it with apps. I'm using the Notification Toggle app from the Play Store to put the LED toggle in the notification panel. It's nearly as convenient as using the volume button and it's brighter without any risk of accidental activation in your pocket.

Yea it does have that option, just not the volume up with the screen off. You have to hold the brightness slider icon in the notification panel to activate it.

Not to be a bother, but I notice it works on some peoples phones and not others. Is there a special thing that needs to be done to get the vol-up for torch working? I know how to get to the secret settings, and they're set for me. It doesn't light up for me . Any advice?
Edit:
I'm running stock rooted with Xposed and Nottach Xposed

Use power toggles from playstore. The best

NottachXposed has both of those options. The volume up function is in the Lockscreen settings. You actually don't need Nottach to access it. It's just a convenient shortcut.

I think you need a deodexed ROM. Didn't work for me until I flashed the Mint Jelly ROM (which I recommend :good.

Alright, i'll give that a try. Not opposed to flashing roms, especially if they remove all this Samsung + ATT bloatware Thanks for your help.

Just an update.
I'm not sure if it was having a deodex rom, or just simply being on Android 4.2.2 (Might be the case). But my light is working now with screen off!
EDIT:
One more thing. Enabling this setting will create a wakelock that'll keep your phone at the lowest mhz you set it to instead of letting it go into deep sleep. It's a nice setting, but at the battery cost... it's something that isn't good enough for me yet. I have a profile setup in tasker for TelsaLED on with a shake on the locked homescreen to try my best and mimic this functionality (I was looking for something that starts up at boot, and flips the LED on from lockscreen). I know there's another flashlight that does this as well, but I ran into the problem of it not booting on startup, where as I use Tasker for other functionality so it starts up 100% of the time. It's not 100% since the LED takes a little to flip on... but it's better than having to unlock.
JUST an FYI to save people the feeling of underwhelming when it starts sapping your battery mercilessly!

thats absolutly not true, i use the feature on nottachs xposed app and my phone goes into DEEP SLEEP using ktz kernel,and there is another mod that u can use called 3 minit but you need framework but that has torch when the lock screen is on by pressing the home button,but i found i would have the light on by accident ,idk how but it would jsut be on with that mod.

3 minit work pretty well you can set it to long press home
Try flashlight led genius from playstore , no root need , you shake it when your on the lockscreen,awesome app

I'm going to stick with what I think then. After I flip on the light.. it never goes back into deep sleep. Try it yourself. I'll take a look at 3 minit
FYI the wakelock it made was PhoneWindowManager.mTorchlightWakeLock

This is a feature in CM10.1. You can add it under lock screen options for long press home button. Absolutely love it.

I think your Android version needs to be 4.2.2 to do the torchlight thing through Nova. I could be wrong though.

Ok another update on this.
Since djmouse wasnt getting any sort of wakelock, I decided to try again getting it working. I enabled it through xposed instead of the nova shortcut.... and for some reason it's letting me go to deep sleep now! ... I also flashed crossbreeder... so that might be the savior. Not sure, but happy to report the wakelock seems to be lifted. I'll report back after a few days if it stays that way.
THanks djmouse for challenging me to try it again!

Using an app called Torchie, just press both 'volume buttons' together to turn on/off torch anytime. It runs as a background service and just works anytime, even when screen off (if enabled from Torchie Settings). It kinda make your phone feel like a conventional battery operated torch. No root required.

Newb questions

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

Activate double Tap to wake

Is there a way to activate the double tab to wake function Motorola Moto G 2?

I could see the advantage for a tablet or something on a stand but it looks like a waste on something you have to pick up anyway. There are a number of apps to try like tap tap if you want to try those. Being able to double tap the screen would do one thing though, it would be a battery killer since the phone would have to be listening even in sleep state.

That´s a point of view, but not really a solution for the problem.

Like I said, you could try one of the apps that do this like Tap Tap. Most that I looked at only got so so reviews though.

DT2W is a kernel level feature, which is not supported by the Stock Kernel of Motorola Firmware.
You will have to unlock the bootloader(Void Warranty) and then flash a custom kernel to use the feature. There are custom kernels for Moto G2 (Still WIP) that will be incorporating DT2W feature in them.

Double tap to wake? How to

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

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

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?

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.
