Double Tap unlock G2

Anybody wanting the double tap wake screen feature. It is cool! Not to use a button.
But will it make a big power lost with this function?
Hoping some dev to port it to AOSP

There's an app called touch control that unlocks with double tap but doesn't lock it. As for battery it doesn't really do much to battery m.

I would love this function as an app. Genius! Would make owning a giant phone easier.

Double tap to wake has been around since the galaxy nexus with touch control. LG probably stole the idea from that dev.

Yes i see this first on nokia n9

What the G2 has is a limited version of touch control by bponury, an app that is pure awesome.

I just started using the touch control app, good for waking up the phone, I would like to have the gesture, where you swipe up from the bottom of the screen, where it wakes up and unlocks like the BB Z10

Reboot

Hey everyone. I never owned a phone where you can't pull the battery but I was wondering how do you a reboot or battery pull on the Moto X?

Holding down the power button on a phone like this usually works and if not power button and down volume is typically a true hard reset. It's not quite as powerful as a battery pull as there is still potential for it to not work but you have to really break it for that to be the case.

Hold the power button and down volume buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds does a simulated battery pull.

Enable home key touch?

Is there a way to make home key respond to touch instead of press? That would be awesome.

No, that's not possible.

Too bad :/ I had it on iPhone 6 via jailbreak.

I assume this is just a ROM/kernel/libs issue and should be theoretically possible for the hardware if given full/open source from Samsung, right? Not that I'm expecting that, but just want to better understand the limitations. Cheers.

It seems there is now a solution! http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/1...s-physical-home-button-into-a-capacitive-one/

Trying it as I type this . Hopefully it won't kill my battery!!

Was the same on the S7 Edge
On mine says just Torch and you just need to press on the text and brings down the menu.

Hard press or light tap home button

Hi guys,
I'd like to know whether you need to hard press the home/fingerprint button to go to home screen (while unlocked) or you can do it by a light tap.. coming from Xiaomi Mi5 and so used to this feature it would be a deal breaker for me if I had to hard press the button every time
Thanks

Light touch is fine. It's a touch button and not mechanical
Hope that helps

Thanks for the answer!
Btw by 'it's a touch button' it means that even when unlocking the phone it's light touched and not pressed?
That's nice!

Yes that's right. Just touch to unlock without PIN etc, once finger print has been set up. The first time after phone has been restarted it asks for PIN, but normally a simple touch is all you require

Yep I know the procedure and all, but on my Mi 5 you need to press the button to unlock and read the fingerprint. There is a sysfs trick to make it read with a light touch but the button is mechanical by default.
Thanks a lot mate, I'm not even bothered by the fact that the Nokia 8 is not (yet) unlockable so I'm probably getting it. I found a deal of around 300 EUR for a new device so it's a great price for a SD 835 phone.
