This is not my code and I apologize if this doesn't belong here, I think it does.
Simply enter this into a terminal emulator, it does not survive a reboot, so I'm posting this in hopes ROM makers will add it in.

Its also pretty useless for alot of scenarios with the finger print scanner - its fine when connected to a trusted BT device and then swipe to unlock or if you want to check the time with a double tap.
Its pointless otherwise, however a nice feature for the sake of a feature - the power button achieves the same thing or just finger print to unlock right out the pocket.
The only case I have found a use for the D2W is when in my car connected via BT streaming music and want to quick unlock in traffic to change a track without having to reach around my phone holder on the windscreen to unlock via the scanner.
I'd hazzard a guess its why google never enabled it out the box but left the function in.

I mean, come on man. the conceptual point of Android was the ability to have your choice of options than what a single company deems necessary. It becomes second nature once you have devices that have it like the m8 or Nexus 9. Also some cases or bumpers tend to mush the power button travel, making even that way more difficult.
Even that aside, sometimes you just want to check and manage notifications or whatever, fingerprint immediately unlocks the device.

I dont want to pick up my phone and movie it around to get to the fingerprint scanner. Even getting to the power button can cause me to focus to much attention. A double tap is quite easy todo to check what notifications you have.
You have never used double tap is my guess and I recommend it even if it seems kinda useless.

DT2W is an AWESOME feature - even if it was disabled by Google after careful thought. Yes, the fingerprint scanner is quick and very convenient. However, because it bypasses the lock screen it also bypasses lock screen notifications. Sometimes I just want to read a quick text/push notification without picking up my phone or locating the power button. A quick double tap on the screen is a lot better than picking up the phone, using my fingerprint to unlock, and then swiping down the notification shade to read my updates.

Used DT2W with N5 / 6 / 7 / G3 and G4 because it was useful as I never used pin entry or any other type of passworded lock, just swipe to unlock.
Now we have a finger print scanner the whole idea of D2TW is depricated alongside active display ( to a certain degree & AW )
D2TW works fine as a quick check for the time but coupled with finger prints its a dead end function beyond checking the time or expanding a notification, notifications are mostly acted on in day to day use.
Now go through the motions - You DT2W see a notification you want to attend to and your faced with one of two things 1. Finger print to get in or 2. Pin or pattern unlock.
In these two cases its slower than just doing FP or Unlock codes - Now factor in the accuracy of DT2W ( yes it can be adjusted ) but some cases it will just ignore it and require a more firm press on the screen.
Now we have two hurdles to factor in - now Imagen your at Google and your selling a device with a quick and efficient and secure way of getting into your device fast to compete with the growing trend of other OEMs.
Do you plump for a slow unaccurate system that does not even get you into the device and still requires PIN entry to do stuff or do you go the FP route.
looking at it this way makes it all very clear from Googles perspective as to why its not enabled by defult.
I like DT2W don't get me wrong but its just irrelevant for those who will use the FP in conjunction with the LED or active display or AW.
The fact that it only serves a good useful purpose when connected to a trusted device for quicker access, alone shows how its a Gimmick feature these days due to tech moving on.
Alot of people will still naturally use the power switch to check the screen for notifications as its been creature habit for many since androids inception, LG introduced it and it gained traction before the whole active display thing moto dropped on the scene.
Now with active display ( Frankly a stupid gimmick if you ask me - give me a blinky LED anyday ) and android wear ( if you can believe that is even worth the effort or cash trust me its not ! ) its even less relevant to DT2W to read the screen.
Point is its not there by defualt for a reason - a design reason - a technical reason - a marketing reason : yes android is open source and google knows nexus people like to tweek their devices so they will have left some gems for people to play with.
As a device they are selling DT2W is not a likely candidate to hit the specs sheet or the TV adverts or Ads is it now when its up against bigger better selling features : FP / Permium build quality / USB C / Slow mo video capture e.c.t
I like to look at things from both points of view but DT2W has little going for it these days with all the additional functionality

Agree to disagree. Double tapping for a quick check of the time or a notification is a handy feature. Not every notification requires you to act on it. A lot of times (Gmail Spam) I will DT2W and then swipe to dismiss the notification. That does not require using a pin and or fingerprint.

Your argument is pointless, just because google turned it off doesn't mean it doesn't serve a purpose. Example, google heavily pushed ambient display over LED notifications and we all know LED notifications work ten times better....
Yep, my phone sits most of the day next to me in a trusted space and it is mucho nice to be able to double tap in and check messsages, time, etc. without having to specifically hit the power button to light the phone up. Further I have owned a phone where the power button eventually died and DT2W removes the majority of cycles on the power button. It can be done when the phone is on either side. It can be done while the phone is in a dock and more without taking your eyes off the road if docked in the car. Just because someone in particular doesn't use it doesn't mean it isn't a useful feature.
I think the reason DT2W was disabled is because someone on the android team secretly is taking money on the sly from Apple in exchange for removing useful and nice features from android. Anyone who says anything else clearly needs more tequila in their life.
i couldn't get this to work. anyone else successful?
I'd like to have this enabled on mine when it gets here Monday. Why not? When it's on table I can just tap to check it. More is more

There is no need for this anymore, by installing a custom Kernel you can get this highly needed feature.

It is made difficult by the finger print scanner being on the back of the device. If it was on the front the functionality would be unnecessary. I like the scanner on the back for in the hand use but it is a limiting factor during use on a table/flat surface.

Finger Print App lock - Unlock the lock 100% safe thru your fingers.
App locks allow us to keep the system and user application safe, I would like to take App lock into next leave using camera we made the first finger print app lock for all the devices.
Here you can download the application - ad-free version for xda users
Donation Version - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fingerprint.applockpro
Free version GP - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fingerprint.applock
There are few phone in market has Finger print sensors - like One plus 2, Elephone p8000, UMI harmar, etc.. We wanted all the phone user should have a access to finger print sensor without the sensor, so we made the first app which can use the camera and act as a finger print sensor.
We made a simple application which can use the Camera Sensor and Un-lock the locked Apps.
If the Finger print is failed to detect, automatically the Pattern lock or Number lock will open and ask the password.
Unlock the app thru your fingers.
Finger prints are Encrypted by default.
Choose the option which way you want to unlock the apps ? Finger print ? Numbers or Pattern?
Requirement for Finger print - All you need a good Camera with Flash, I believe 8Pix Camera with Flash can do the real job.

The reason of this not being to work out in comparison to the other "Fingerprint Sensors" out there is because fingerprint sensors are meant to be stealth, and be done in stealth. If you are going to on the flash and have the phone scanning for your finger and takes 15 seconds to process the whole finger, by that time people will already know what you are doing and that defeats the point of it being a proper way to secure your phone, in all sorts of situations.
And also, the video is ridiculous. But nice try nonetheless. If you are able to get the phone to capture your fingerprint by just placing it in front (like literally 1cm away) and without the needs of a flash, you got my money.
Looks like a big joke to me. I unlock my phone just by a swipe, your system takes too long, use APN+flash and is not certified to work. At least you made me laugh.
Welp, this whole community just shot you down. Nice idea though. but not practical.
This is a classic case of "making an app for the sake of making it" but not care about why such functionality exists in the first place.
Finger scanners exist not because people want to scan their fingers, but because it's faster, more convenient and more secured than using a pin lock or a pattern lock.
Those are the tenet of finger scanning, if you can come up with a better method to unlock the device (i.e. even more faster and convenient) then whether or not that method uses a finger scanner doesn't matter.
experiment
I believe the finger print scanner is experiment, we have pin and pattern lock too..
The video has made my day. On the other hand I totally agree with others that it's not practical at all and scanning your muddle finger in public would raise quite a few eyebrows.

You must understand that there are many free apps out there that does the same features in regards to using a PIN or a pattern, so either you do a brand new feature to actually unlock the phone, or rework on your fingerprint scanning "feature".
Like I stated before, if you really wanted such a feature to work, it is be able to do the following with ease.
1) Scan your finger within 10-15 seconds so that it will not look awkward in situations.
2) Flash is a no go for such stuff.
3) The UI definitely needs to be fixed a LOT in terms of the scanning and recognition part, the main UI seems decent and nice actually, with the hexagon design to access different menus and such.
4) Includes other ways to unlock like Bluetooth app press a button to unlock or something that would make your app be different from others and make people want to use your app.
There you go.
thanks a lot
Really am happy with your review.. I will fix all the issues..

My last phone before this one is the Droid Mini. So far the Z5C is infinitely better in everything (but my expectations/standards are pretty low...) except that the Active Display feature from Motorola was awesome. From a bit of Googling, there are some other apps that copy this functionality to various degrees, but maybe some of you can give more specific insight than the articles?
1.) First of all, I'm confused. This article below states that Motorola released the app on Google Play Store for the general Android population... but it doesn't come up when I search it on my Z5C. What the hell?
http://gadgetstouse.com/featured/to...lay-notifications-alerts-android-device/19901
2.) If the Moto app is not available, any opinions on the alternatives? From reading a few articles, sounds like Dynamic Notifications is my best bet. Thoughts?
I tried xposed module, but it used proximity sensor, so it is not the same thing. I also miss that feature a lot from my nexus 5x, double tap to wake is kind of replacement when phone is laying on the table. When you take it out from a pocket, pressing the button isn't such a big deal. I couldn't find any reasonable replacement so I learnt to live without it
I really don't understand why other manufacturers don't copy-cat this feature. It was without question the greatest feature of my old phone.
I tried out Dynamic Notifications, but it's weird. First, it didn't play nice with the existing lock-screen and login structure. When I had a notification, pressing the power button no longer took me to the lock screen -- instead it just turned off and locked the screen. It's as if Dynamic Notifications became a second lock screen, and the power button toggled it on/off, and I had to tap the home key to get to the actual lock screen. On top of that, after getting to the actual lock screen it seemed to somehow screw up the fingerprint login because I kept getting prompted to use my other login method (PIN in my case). Most weird of all, it had some crazy bug when I used Uber. I was trying to check where the Uber car was on the map, and it threw me to the Dynamic Notifications screen, with the Uber notification showing. I logged in again, pulled up Uber again, checked the location of the Uber on the map, and it instantly did it again! And again... So screwed up.
TL;DR: Do not use this app, at least not on this phone. It's buggy and/or just makes you jump through extra hoops when logging in.
Yeah I also have double tap enabled. It's okay I guess.
Nexus 5x had a dedicated hardware sensors for that matter, I guess that may be the problem. Anyway I agree with you that every manufacturer should implement it.
I would try AcDisplay for the lock screen and if you want raise to wake, try Gravity Screen . Be warned though, Gravity Screen is kind of glitchy with the fingerprint sensor, so I would just use AcDisplay. ^_^

So I finally got around to trying out AcDisplay. That video that is on the app download page shows how you can wake up the phone using proximity sensors, when pulling it out of your pocket or even waving your hand over it... But none of this works at all. Not even a little bit. Does that mean that the Z5C does not have any proximity sensors built into it?
Does Mate 10 has the double tap to wake feature?
No and i haven't found a non-root solution for it either.
Wow that's such a shame... The mix and matching of features across these Huawei devices is becoming really frustrating. There's no reason why only the Chinese version of the Mate 9 had this feature.
I don't think you really need a double tap to wake. A simple touch of the fingerprint sensor wakes the phone quickly.
Exactly, that fingerprint scanner is ridiculously fast!

Copyright issues with LG. But there are 3rd party apps for Samsung that put an icon on Always on display and you just double tap on that icon to wake. I guess its not different to Samsung having a home key always turned on even when screen off. So Huawei should as well implement something similar to have icon on the Always on display and click or hold or whatever is best gesture on that to turn on the screen.
End of the day its still a two step process in the least over the single step process of front fingerprint sensor. The small bezels means no way a front fingerprint could fit there and so there needs to be a long term solution. LG type reliable face unlock feature would help in many scenarios as well and its comparatively easier to partially lift and look at the phone from a desk then double tap and scribble the password.
There is also Huawei's strong security measures to overcome. My current Huawei does not allow using anything other than a pin password for unlock when you have the fingerprint activated. So thats four extra screen taps compared to the Pattern type password (which cannot be used when fingerprint activated).

What app that works with fingerprint without pin
Enviado desde mi ALP-L09 mediante Tapatalk
my ex oneplus 3t has this feature. how only lg has it?
Surely it's obvious this would be useful when the phone is laying on a desk/table (on its back) when the fingerprint sensor is not accessible? Double-tap to wake would be awesome on this device. Just got it, and it's my only (at this stage) gripe.
Same here
I hope some update fix this
App switching screen on Android 12 is pretty bad. So easy to make mistakes, always unintentionally swiping down or up. I haven't used Android 11, not sure if they are same . Came from iOS.
I came from an lg v20 with android 8 on it and i prefer how it was done on there but with the new app switcher screen I have to say I love the easy screenshot, url sharing, and text selection on screens that are otherwise not text selectable so I guess that makes up for it.
What i dont like is the screen isnt very responsive to touch with my tempered glass screen protector unless I force 90hz in developer options. Speakers sound like crap compared to my v20 , and of course no easily removable battery, no microsd slot, no headphone jack and no ir remote sucks too but as far as I know there isnt a single good flagship phone out there that still has all those.
I only bought a new phone because the v20 became unbearably slow and good new batteries are hard to come by anymore, I also need it for developing AR apps.

By default, they use a bunch of hideous gestures.
Go into System Settings --> Accessibility --> System controls, and change "System navigation" to "3-button navigation". That will give you three nice buttons on the bottom edge of the screen... back, home, and task switcher.

Checked this out too, but you get the ancient Android 7-or-8 like buttons. Much rather see the Pixel 3's buttons placed on the bottom.
Although the gestures are a bit finicky, it took me a while to get used to, but now I've got it under control.
Its not about "ancient", its about EFFECTIVE. The 3-button menu bar is the only option that has ever existed that doesn't involve indecypherable/inconvenient gestures.

So here's a ROM that i would recommend even tho it's in beta Corvus OS it's android 12 and everything works even the Camera but sadly not the greatness of Sony's Camera app...i personally haven't tried it with the Custom Kernel Kirisakura just yet but i will and report back on here if they place nice together...Magisk also works great with this ROM you just have to be careful what you flash...
Hopefully our device will be fully supported soon.
Just putting down some thoughts here.
Double tap to wake is borked, the setting already hints that it is unlikely to work and I can confirm this.
Forcing native res works rather poorly. On reboot I need to reset the dpi to make the GUI play nice, but some things remain iffy. Such as:
Gesture navigation still thinks preview windows should be the lower res, not native (looks poor, see attached images)
Some random visual glitches that cause a silent crash + restore, it's not critical but you can see it happening
No built-in battery health (as in limiting it), have to use something external (AccA)
Camera quality is way worse compared to stock. I don't mind as much as I don't care a lot, but quality regression is very significant (if I have to quantify it, I would accept 20-30%, but this feels more like 60%)
The GCAM's I've found that don't immediately crash (not many) all have serious bugs
No camera app found that plays nice with front camera, hope you weren't planning on taking pictures with the front camera
Edit: For 6 you can actually use the native app. Performance is super bad though.
To not sound too much like a downer I'll also put in some "niceties" compared to stock.
Holding volume button to seek is now native
OTA work again
Good visual eyecandy for charging, locking and more
No bloatware galore
Much much finer control over lots of little things, especially status bar is very nice
Other things:
The default launcher is a bit lacking, so I installed Nova 7, but this still has some shenanigans with force reloading and short unresponsiveness with gesture navigation. Very annoying, but I'm quite sure this is not the fault of the ROM. Just hoped this was improved (suggestions welcome)
If someone found a good GCAM please share, the ones I've found are either broken or seriously lacking.
It seems that sometimes the phone does not respond to my finger until I press the button. This could be intentional to prevent accidental unlocks / phone being locked for X seconds because lots of "bad" fingerprints detected.

Yeah this is the only ROM that i found that legit decided to be custom and not just copy/pasta of Pixel Experience without the GCAM and a different name.....for what I use my phone for it's 100% functional...but it's far from being perfect for everyone rn...

Yeah, this is why I've been very hesitant to install to install GSI ROMs, all the issues I've mentioned are because the X1 III is not the same as most other devices.
Wake to tap? Device specific thing.
Native res issues? X1III specific.
No built in battery health? Not device specific, devs pls
Camera issues? Device specific.
I think I'll drop the higher res as that will remove the most jarring of issues. The camera is whatever as it will not improve by switching to PE and double tap to wake is meh. Annoying at worst.

Alright some more shenanigans and needing to do a clean install further I do know some more things now.
1. is still broken, I'll try flashing a different kernel perhaps.
2. It's actually not so bad. It will remember and auto apply on reboot after a couple seconds. Gesture and notification bar may be slightly borked, but that's fixed fast by reloading system UI and switching between gesture and button navigation. The thing about recents has been resolved by switching to a different launcher with it's own quickswitch (lawnchair).
3. Acca works fine.
4/5/6 Nothing.
Another update.
2 is fine. Just don't use the built in launcher while forcing 4k. Just use lawnchair or something (+ quickswitch).
On another note, automatic brightness does NOT appear to work. This is quite the massive issue. I'm honestly a bit baffled how I haven't noticed until today.
AOD is also quite broken, while the phone is on the wireless charging and being ratiod to 90% it will continously blink. That's super annoying as I normally use AOD to check if I got a message, if it blinks it takes my attention, effectively defeating the entire purpose of AOD. *Groan*
These issues are really starting to stack up by now, I'm seriously considering reverting to stock. I'm really worried something else won't be working once I need it in the future.

No autobrighness may be caused by not having an overlay. I've also been annoyed by that on Pixel Experience. Can you create a fresh overlay for this phone and do a pull request with phhuson's repo? (I assume that's what must done)

Issue is that the "official" info provided by Sony seems to explicitly disable double tap to wake.
This makes absolutely no sense as double tap to wake works fine in the vanilla ROM.
Maybe someone can confirm this? It's been some time.

It's available in stock but it has never worked correctly. The proximity sensor doesn't disable it! There's a "Prevent accidental operations with screen off" setting as the world's dumbest work-around. That puts a keyboard and alert on the screen while you're walking. It stops emergency butt-dialing but the battery still runs down.

A what now? I do recall the proximity sensor not working really well with dt2w but at least it worked and I didn't notice some significant battery drain.
I did see some things about dt2w being disabled because the touch interface is powered when the screen is powered and this can't be decoupled. I'm not sure if this applies to this phone though.
Regardless, it shouldn't really matter as the X1 III is an OLED screen anyways. So as long as it's full black it should be fine(?)
I'm not asking for the perfect solution and if battery drain slightly increases that's a worthwhile investment to me. At least provide the option. Don't decide what I want because it has potential side-effects (just warn or something lol).
Actually I'm going out on a limb and stating that dt2w should be enabled by default if the device's screen is an OLED screen. Overlay and device specific things be damned.
