[Q] About VS985 Lollipop - Verizon LG G3

Instead of going to every development forum for these ROMs and asking each one this question, I decided to just put it here.
Simply:
Does any custom ROM for the VS985 running Android L have knock code (not just knock on and knock off, the actual lock screen method) built in yet? (I did look around, and no threads really state that. I asked about three, and two responded. Both have knock on and knock off, but not knock code to unlock.)
I know I can do this with XPosed and get it, but I just really want to know if any of these Android L custom ROMs have knock code unlock (built in) yet!
If any do, please do link it so I can install it.
Thanks!

You can tap twice on the screen to wake up to the lockscreen and tap twice on the status bar to lock once on. But you can't use Xposed on Lollipop because Closed doesn't support the ART runtime.

the "knock on, Knock Off" is kernal related, not rom related, or otherwise referred to as DT2W or DT2S (double tap to wake / double tap to sleep), LG baked this into they're kernal and call it Knock on/knock off, all you really need is a kernal that works with your rom that supports DT2W/DT2S.... I have been sticking to a modified stock setup, doing quick search I dont really see much kernal development for the G3

Knock on and knock off aren't the issue, those work fine with just about every Android L ROM I've seen. (Meaning they have the kernel that does it.)
My question is where knock code is?
Also, now I want to know if any have the stock clipboard tray or whatever like it?

I believe knock on is tied to the framework of stock lg firmware so I don't know if we will we knock code anytime soon although I do miss it.

Well, I cannot even used Xposed for the knock code; not like I would anyways.
I shall just wait for an update to have this.
Hopefully the clipboard tray as well, and that's all about I need to make Android L a daily driver.

How to lock screen on G2...

I'm currently wavering bettwen Nexus 5 and G2, I like the bigger screen and better battery life of G2. But the location of the G2 screen locking button is annoying, it makes me really uncomfortable.
Yesterday I tried and found that I can lock and wake up the screen by double clicking it, which is a relief. But I'm also wondering if I flash the CM or other customized ROM into G2, will I still be able to do this? I don't like the stock Rom at all. Have you guys got used to the location of the button?
Thank you.

The location of the lock button doesn't bother me, never noticed out actually, but whatever the case is, I think the lock screen effect is a LG thing. You probably won't have to deal with any of the LG ui stuff if you're using cm rom...

Yes, on CM you still have knock on by default, it's built into the kernel. Knock-off is coming soon, or there are mods that add the function back in.

So you tap the screen twice every time you want to lock the screen? But sometimes if you tap on the app icon, it will open the app instead of locking the screen. How did you solve this problem?
No, for off it needs to be a black spot when not in lock screen or the status bar. In lock screen, anywhere. Yes works on custom roms, but on custom rooms knock off only works from status bar unless third party app.
On CM, you can work around by using a launcher such as Nova Prime with double tap options and a free app from the at store that turns the screen off.
Set Nova to double tap = launch screen off app.
I just set my screen off time to 15s and never worry about it turning it off.
On stock LG Rom, the launcher has double tap off built in. You can also double tap the status bar from within any app.
I don't think I've ever used my hardware buttons. It's very intuitive.

[Q] Why do I get the stock android lockscreen randomly? Exploit maybe?

For some reason the stock android lockscreen comes on randomly for no given reason. Figured I'd post it here just for the fact maybe it could be some kind of exploit allowing stock android to run as opposed to the Samsung firmware without tripping knox. The phone is on MK2. It happens mostly after setting the phone down, a blue light will flash then about a second later the lockscreen pops up for about 2 or 3 seconds. Can't use it, but it displays correct info pertaining to my phone. Just something interesting I believe could be looked more in to unless it's already been covered.

Are you being serious or is this a joke?
Check out "Motions and Gestures" in your settings and do a little research about your phone. It can do some pretty cool things.

It has nothing to do with motions or gestures so yes I am being serious. Also why does it have a live wallpaper. I'm not new to this stuff I know what's normal and what isn't. If it's nothing just tell me so and I'll just ignore or tell me why it's doing it. That was my original question, not how do I enable motion and Gestures. It will also do it if the phone is just sitting there without being touched. It just comes on for no reason.

If you phone is an anything but the original MDK bootloader there is no way to downgrade back to MDK.
MDK is the only bootloader that can be used to flash this rom.
Safestrap is the only way you can flash custom roms if you are not on MDK, and any rom that supports Safestrap should say so in the OP.
How to tell if I am on MDK? And if i am not can i flash this rom with safestrap?

Hi How can I tell if I am on the MDK? I had this phone since 2013 and I am not really sure how to figure out where to look to see if I am on MDK. Plus does this rom support safestrap? It would help a lot.

The easiest way is to download Phone Info Samsung from the play store, that will tell you what bootloader you are on.
And no, this ROM is not Safestrap compatible,

Recent Apps No-Show
Recent apps are not showing with home button long-press. The OmniSwitch works, but it's not quite as handy.
The mic mute in the phone is also grayed out, which is odd.

Flashlight / Battery
I am coming from Carbon rom and I have to say this is a very decent rom. I am however experiencing some issues and have some requests.
Issue A) Battery life drain is pretty severe. 40% battery left with screen being at 1hr 25m of use. Can't find a reason for it. Phone idle and cell standby are only at 1%
Feature request A) Battery stat including total time off charger. As it stands now the graph gives a vauge layout rather than stating "8hrs 54min off charger"
Feature request B) On carbon rom, I had the ability to do a long press on the home button lockscreen to turn the flashlight on. I would settle for replacing the lockscreen camera function with this. Can't find it anywhere.
Other than that, this rom is fantastic! Thanks for all your work.

This.
Also -
Any way to get some Kernel tweaks? (Fast charge, over/under clock, etc...)
Would it be possible to have the location button on the Status Bar quick settings cycle through the options, rather than on/off?
Thanks
I've been running DU since March and the past 2 releases haven't worked well for me. It has fixed somethings but other things aren't working or still haven't changed in this build.
Issues I'm still having from a fresh install of the recent 9.4:
During phone calls the screen goes black and doesn't come back until call has ended.
Custom button for home doesn't do anything. If I set it to hold and go to recent apps then hit it again it will work but otherwise it doesn't do anything.
SMS seems to have issues sending or receiving photos. I've had it work for sending and work for receiving but never for both in Lollipop.
Lag of a few seconds from menu button to open the unlock screen
Pulldown menu doesn't contain app notifications anymore (I've tried all settings)
Adblock ceased to work anymore and resets adaway as well
Music volume toggle to switch tracks has stopped working
Because of all these issues and since it's my daily driver I might need to switch to another rom or go pure CM. I've had a good ride with DU especially since they were the first to give Lollipop access but these issues have been persistent through 5.02 - 5.1.1 and I need a phone that has basic functions like calling someone properly working.
Could I flash this, and use an att sim? Ty
No service after flashing 9.7
Never mind... flashed the exx version, not the vzn version... working great now!

Is there any way to double tap to wake it works?

As the topic. Is there any way to double tap to wake It works in redmi note 2. Other kernel, app or something else?
It will have to be another kernel, but we don't have the source code for the stock kernel. So until Xiaomi/MTK releases is or leaks it, we have no way of enabling hardware features like double tap to wake, quick charge, LTE bands, etc.

There's always a chance, you can even sign the petition that someone started here, but they have not done a good job so far... I do not think they will release it at least until the phone is obsolete, if at all.

The fps always goes straight into the homescreen and I often just want to see my notifications on the lockscreen. Having to press the power button on the side therefore can be quite inconvenient when the phone is lying on the desk.
PS: Oh, well, that was another downside of EMUI. I don't get why they don't show older notifications on the lockscreen. If the phone gets unlocked once, all the notifications for this moment don't show up on the lockscreen anymore (which stock Android and I guess most other OEM skins do).
