You can toggle Magnifying Gestures in Accessibility settings. It's available in JB+ only.

One finger's enough, you just need to tap thrice quickly after enabling Magnification Gestures. It'll be harder to move, though, but you can zoom in/out.
I'm not aware of any app that provides magnification.

Just some info for everyone that is wondering, not sure if this has been covered yet, I looked and it seems that it hasn't been mentioned.
This is a very easy way to get customized knock-off (double-tap to turn off screen) working on any non-stock ROM where knock-off might not be included.
1. Download GMD Gesture Control from the market. You should probably use the paid version since the free version doesn't support custom gestures. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodmooddroid.gesturecontrol&hl=en
2. Download the Screen Off app (free). https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=en
3. Open up GMD and turn off any gestures you don't want that are included with the app.
4. Click on User Gestures up top, and then click path.
5. Under "Gesture Path", type in "T-T"
6. Click under action, select "application" and select "Screen Off" (the one that you just downloaded).
7. Click "Save" at the bottom, and bam. Double-tap goes to screen off.
**NOTE** I changed the starting zone (in the Create Gesture window) to only recognize double-taps on my status bar region, because often I would shut my screen off without meaning to.
Sorry, if this is a repost, I just spent a long hour pulling my hair out trying to get this to work with Nova launcher (wanted my double-tap to work anywhere in my ROM), and was super stoked when I figured this out.
Great idea I wonder why I haven't thought about this before
Thank you. I tried to spread the word on this method when CM was first released for the G2. My only difference is I use Secure Settings
Edit: just realized you missed another obvious bit
If you use Nova or Apex you can set a double tap gesture to turn off the screen the same way. Suddenly you have the same functionality as LG included

Ah good idea. Then you can have an easier time turning the screen off when you're in your launcher. Good stuff.

How can you do the screen off? I stopped using Nova because I could no longer turn off the screen, there is no turn screen of under gesture settings.

Hi,
It works with Nova, you need to double-tap in the notification bar area (but only here), nothing to set in Nova it works just like that...
How about screen on?

You are correct, there isn't a screen off option. However, you can set the double tap gesture to open a SHORTCUT that will turn the screen off.
I'm assuming the app OP linked to allows you to set a shortcut for screen off. If not, Secure Settings for sure does (it's what I use).
Here's proof that it works
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvesNzvgKDQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player
That video uses OP's GMD Gesture control trick and Nova Launcher's double tap gesture. Only difference is I'm using secure settings instead of the screen off app
Ok, for those who want to use screen off with Nova or CM do this.
Download this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=en
in Nova Settings go to gesture and Buttons/ Double tap/ and select Screen off, Simple as that. GL
does anyone know if there is a way to remove the camera button from the lock screen?
i keep hitting it by accident when unlocking phone.
Maybe Settings/Security /uncheck 'enable widget' or change the widget or disable Screen lock.

If you got root, there is a module for "Xposed Installer" called "screen Tweaks". That works for me.
Camera app -> menu dots -> general settings icon -> quick launch: turn off.
Will remove icon from lock screen but also disable the dedicated camera button launching camera app.

My solution was to completely disable the "quick launch" in the Sony camera settings.
Afterwards, within "All in one gestures" application (ROOT required), I associated :
- "no action" with single tap on camera key
- "launch camera" shortcut on "long press" on camera key.

thanks for sharing
My device is S6 edge tmobile. There is a circle setting button always showed up when some app's open. It''s totally useless and sometime makes the screen not working. I know some Tom disable this feature but I just want to know how to do that. Screen shot is here. Anyone knows how ?

Tools toggle -swipe down, uncheck tools toggle.
S6 only has 3 buttons. Multi tasking, home and back.. Android has a 4th button for settings and the floating 3 dots is the 4th buttons and only appears when an app has it in its code for the 4 settings button.
Other android phones that have on screen buttons also has this as part of the navigation

Are you sure you don't mean the white circle with 3 dots on the right of the screen
Yeah I mean it.. Sorry. But I know some rom can disable it. like VN 3.0. This button really buzzy me.
It's part of Lollipop for apps that haven't updated to the fact phones don't have hard menu button. App needs to be updated by Dev.

Not possible
This button acts as a replacement for the hardware menu button on older devices.
thats the menu button

The guy talked about apps checking the multitouch functionality also if u were to use developer menu in phone it would display 3 fingers therefore this quick setting disables multitouch above 3 points (the debug menu option to show presses displays always all the presses)

I have no idea what you are talking. I confirm that the one plus 5 is supporting multi touches without any issues. If a certain app doesn't detect more than 3, then it is app specific issue.

Im saying that if u enable 3 finger to screenshot functionality some apps and even the debug menu of oneplus 5 has issues with recognizing more than 3 touches, you don't use the tester apps on google play store that check the multi touch capability in software what you see when you enable the dots on press in developer menu is a lower level implementation of displaying this thing maybe the screen driver handles it itself.
I like to hide my navigation buttons to take advantage of the entire screen. I've been using J Touch as my navigation, swipe up for recent apps, left to go back, down for notifications, and double tap for home.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bs.smarttouch.gp
I've also tried Foo view but didn't like that I couldn't map swipe up to something else besides the apps settings.
Anyone use anything similar, or some type of gesture app for navigation?

This is really good, thanks for mentioning it.
I'm using a fingerprint app that reads a registered finger as back and an unregistered finger as home. Haven't come up with a good way to do recents though....

Weirdly, it's actually a component of a larger app called "Gravity Screen", made to turn your screen on/off automatically when it goes into your pocket or a table. It has a separate part for fingerprint gestures and they seem to work really well, so that's what I've been using.

There is an app called Finger Scanner Gestures that adds similar functionality
