[APP][SHARE]Screen Off Lock (Double Tap)

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!

Hello and thanks for your answer. No my Note 8 was not rooted but it got a shortcut in shortcut panel for screenshot. Impossible to find it on my new Note 9

It could have been some app you had installed that added it

Don’t know if this is what you had set up on your Note 8, but there is a screenshot option in the assistant menu that you can set up in the Accessibility section of settings. Go to Settings>Accessibility>Dexterity and Interaction>Assistant Menu - turn the menu on and click for options, one of which is Screenshots. It works great!
Hope that helps!

I think it has been mentioned, without root, go to advanced settings
Enable palm swipe to capture.
Then when you want a screenshot simply swipe from left to right across whole height of screen.

One hand operation

Try the "Quick Settings" app that allows you to add a bunch of items to your quick access panel

Hello good alternative thanks a lot. But it's not exactly the same result that the native one. When you make a screenshot you don't have the native option

You mean with the scroll capture and sharing options? Yeah this shortcut just saves it for you without any of that.

Open the one hand operation + application, tap either left or right settings. You can then edit the swipes to one of the predetermined options.

No fingerprint authentication after double tap screen off/lock

Hey guys
Why fingerprint unlock doesnt work after double tap to screen lock/off? Is there any way to achieve that. Everytime u double tap to make screen off , the next time u wake ur phone using fingerprint, it just ask for password. So u r stuck with only one option to press power button then apply fingerprint.
I hate pressing buttons:crying:

Nova-launcher explains this. Get the Nova settings page up, scroll to the bottom, unfold the advanced options, click on "screen lock method".

What model do you have? I wonder if it's restricted based on model/region.

If you have another launcher installed & have it set as default,perhaps you can't access the stock home screen settings.
If that's not the case,maybe try using Nova Launcher & use the shortcut/activities option & see if you can access the settings for that.

This is correct, I have Nova launcher and it didn't show until I reverted back to the stock launcher.
