Hi,
I am sorry if this has been posted before or it's something obvious, this is my first post but I've searched through what is seemingly like the entire internet to find the answer but haven't come close.
I've recently upgraded to the ROG Phone 3, and noticed that I cannot find/set a function for a double tap of the power button. Every phone I've ever had, I've had the power button as a quick launch for my camera. Is this feature really missing, or am I a bit slow in the noggin?
Regards
It's under advanced settings -> gestures

Decided to look at the help on the gear manager app. Found two things I did not know about.
- Press and hold two fingers and you can see and go to recently used apps just like your android phone. Makes switching apps very easy!!
- Press and hold the side button to quickly get to outdoor mode or vibrate only.
Heck, maybe I'll even look at the user manual now...
Double tap the screen to get the volume and brightness control also.
Tap on the weather icon to get more weather details, too.
Thanks!
My apologies if this has already been addressed - searched but turned up nothing useful.
Call me old fashion - or just set in my ways - but I cannot get past this lack of a physical/capacitive menu button. I'm coming from the Note 2, where I'd used NOVA to set the long-hold Home key to be the recently used app list. I almost NEVER used it - yet I use the menu button in nearly every app. I cannot see how the recently used app has a higher draw than the menu, but I digress...
Has anyone figured out how to re-map the buttons?

I have an s5 and it took me a while to get used to this also. In most apps if you long hold the recents button it will bring up the app settings or options menu. I also just placed the phone settings icon in the drawer on the home screen for easy access to phone settings menu.

You need xposed, and install xposed additions! I hate the back button on the right side so I switched it around and now it's on the left side. Just turned off the hard keys lights also.
yes long press the recent apps button then the menu will pop up at the bottom

I downloaded, installed and rebooted, but the options are greyed out on mine. Any idea why this is?

Never mind, got it to take after a couple reboots. Thanks for the info on this.:good:
This new feature on 6.0.1 does not work on my phone, despite several restarts, safe mode activation, etc. Will not do software repair for now- too much hassle.
Am I the only user who has this problem? Seemed like a nice idea: after double tap to wake, now double tap to sleep!

Are you using the Home launcher?
This was a Concept feature, I'm not sure if it was in the full release. But, if it did, you need to double-tap on an empty area of the homescreen in Home.
I am sure it's a final release feature: the option to toggle it on or off appeared in my home screen settings menu after downloading 6.0.1.
And yes, I know how to activate it: double tap empty space on home screen.
Any Z3 Compact owner reading this whose double tap to sleep works?
Tap To Sleep in 6.0.1: Issue Solved
Just figured it out: while in "tap to wake" I can use many different intervals (i.e. time between the two taps) to activate the function, "tap to sleep" will only accept a precise interval to work: if I double tap just 50 milliseconds too fast or too slow, it will not work.

Well, I suppose that makes sense. Must be frustrating to get that timing right, though..
HI, you need to long press on your home screen and then you get it selected with everything what's there. When you see this that you an remove or add items to your home screen there will be either a setting icon or a plus icon on the bottom that you need to click on. This will show a menu where if you scroll down will give you the option to activate "double tap to sleep" feature. Sony could have put the double tap to wake up and sleep mode in one place ……
Hello,
after the sources for the Z2 Pro have been released and good Custom ROMs are possible, I would love to buy this beautiful device. I've read alot about this U-Touch thing, where you navigate only by using the Home Button... and I don't like it. So my question is: Does this phone also have the normal Back, Home and Recents hardware buttons?
Thanks!
Hi,
Yes, you can add on screen buttons in "Developer Options" menu. At least you can do it with z2 (non pro). I guess you will have this option too.
So there are no "real" hardware buttons to the left and the right of the home button?
On screen buttons are in developer options in both models, make sure you reboot to effect the changes.
Thanks for your answers. I know about the possiblity to show the On Screen Buttons, but that's not what I wanted to know.
I'm curious if the device also has dedicated hardware buttons (not on screen) for Back and Recents, or just the U-Touch button?
It only has 1 physical button on the front..
I'd love to see an app or even integration in a custom rom to be able to configure the behaviour of the front button. What are the chances this will become reality?
It already lets you configure what the button does. You can also preset actions to open specific apps.

But that is in the ZUI ROM right? I'd like to see this in a separate app or built into custom ROM so it can also be used outside ZUI.
Now that the sources are available someone who knows what he is doing should be able to pull this off.
Is there a way to make swipe left on the u-touch button act like a back button? Maybe there would be a way to have it open an scripted action that acts as back button?
Edit: Just figured out that short tap is back, so my problem is solved!
Thanks, this helped me out!
I'm looking for a phone with this same exact button. I'm always super stunned how retarded iphones are compared to my $200 phone.
Hi,
I have a short question - is it possible to customize fingerprint scanner gestures in the P10? Is there a mod or something to do that? I can't stand current selection, single tap should always be 'home'. My perfect set of gestures would look like this:
single tap - 'home'
swipe left - 'back'
swipe right (or up) - 'multitasking/recent apps'
swipe down - pull down the shortcut panel
tap and hold for 0,5 sec - screen off
double tap - toggle between recently used apps (P8 had this! Even bare bones Android has such function)
Give Tasker a try. I don't know, if it's working and if it won't make problems with the EMUI settings, but you can give it a try.
I have to say, that a swipe for everytime I want to go back would be very annoying. I was 9 years on iPhone before I got my P10 and had to get use to it, but know it's like an automatism.
Not going 'home' after tapping the "home" button is much more annoying. Besides the 'back' button is usually on the left side so swiping left is the closest thing.
I asked on the Tasker forums and one of the users said that it requires TouchTask plugin (for Tasker). We'll see.
Were you able to customize the gestures? Did tasker work? I don't use Google app (disabled it) and think there should be a remap feature... Should not be that hard to do...
