Does the Redmi Note 2 allow gesture control apps? - Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I would like to have a gesture control app like I had on my Cubot X9. It would be enough for me to have a possibility to switch the screen off and on by double tab.
That app I had on my previous phone allowed me to switch the display off by doubletap the home button and wake the phone up by simply double tapping anywhere in the display.
This was cool and pre-installed. But I don't see any option like that in MIUI and I don't know which app I could download for doing it.
I am using the xiaomi.eu Rom 5.11.1
Please help
Thanks

This feature needs to be supported by the kernel. Currently there is no such option, and most likely there never will be.

Pie only for gesture double tap or long press, and do not raise up your finger.

Awesome work. Keep it up @jozein
still unable to figure out how to use this app @jozein
Awesome module! Please add the option to disable it for certain apps. For example I also ude chromepie, so I dont want your module to be active when chrome is opened.
Also add the option to Alphabetically sort the installed apps list.
Please insert an option for Settings Backup

Gesture to switch to previous app

After using native gestures on OnePlus 6 and Note 9 (One Hand Operation+) I'm 100% sure I will use gestures instead of navigation bar even if I have to give up Nova Launcher, but so far all the youtube videos I've seen there is no gesture to switch to last app which is something I use very often.
I was hoping I didn't have to install another gesture app on top of native gestures
Am I missing something is there a gesture to jump QUICKLY to last app? Or you have to swipe+hold/wait+swipe+tap everytime you want to go to previous app?
Could at least knuckle gestures do that or they're just for screenshots, split-scren and launch apps?
Up until now I haven't found a way to quickly switch between the last 2 apps. Hope they will include a new gesture with a future update
I ended up purchasing the app "edge gestures", previous app works really well on the Note 9 if I enable the "force previous app" option and it uses a faster animation as well, what's on the screenshot is all I wanted that is missing on native gestures, I'll see how it goes on Mate 20 pro I hope system doesn't kill the "edge gestures" app every few minutes
EDIT: I was forgetting about google assistant, I guess I'll set tap and hold for that as I will disable the option to launh google assistant with native gestures so it doesn't interfere with the edge gestures app
EDIT 2: okay I think "oneplus gestures" app will be better if ot doesn't interfere with native gestures from bottom center
TIP: Download NCleaner to get rid of constant notification "X app displaying over other apps" use the option "ongoing notification hider"
This is a great tip, thank you for it!
Whenever I have an app lock the screen (Edge gestures or Nova) it usually locks the screen and the phone immediately unlocks itself again. Do yo experience the same? Any fix that you know of?

Happens to me if you have faceunlock on and it detects your face. What I do is point it slightly away from my face when I double tap to turn off screen and its fine.

Turns out that disabling the Direct Unlock (as opposed having to swipe up again after face unlock unlocks the phone) also resolves this.
Annoying either way, not sure why it recognises face again after locking the screen.

DT2W/S on Pocophone

Hello there,
I recently purchased a Xioami Pocophone F1 after using LG for the past 4 years.
I am so used to double tap to unlock and lock my screen that I find myself constantly doing the same on the Poco.
Is there a way to enable that feature on the Phcophone?
How come LG is the only company that has that feature enabled by default? Is it something on their hardware or is it a part of Android in general?
I find it to be a great feature and personally, I don't like phones with buttons, especially on the right side of the screen.
Thank you,
It´s standard in MIUI 10. You can find this option under Settings -- Display.
If you are on MIUI 9, wait a few days. Xiaomi is rolling out the MIUI 10 stable in waves.

Finally! A contender to LG.
Thank you for letting me know.
I'm on MIUI 9.6.14, and you can enable double tap screen to wake under Settings > Display.

I prefer installing nova launcher and use double tap to lock screen.
to turn off the screen I use the following apps:
for dt2s on home screen - DTS Widget
for using the fingerprint scanner - fingerprint quick action
for status bar - all in one gestures (no longer available in play store, google apk)

Way to lock screen (unrooted)

So I have a LG G7 One which runs stock Pie. Sadly LG's knock knock features aren't included. Bootloader is locked, so no root options currently. This my first phone that doesn't have a root option. I feel a little limited.
I'm looking for a way to lock my phone without using the power button. Ideally double tap to lock. I've tried a few different options but they all seem to have the same limitation. They force me to use my pin after I lock my phone with them. Something about my phone being locked by admin. I would like to just use my finger print scanner. Is there any workaround for this?
I'd prefer double tap to lock, but I'd settle for a quick settings toggle. Are there any apps that allow this? And would I face the same issue, where it forces me to use my pin afterwards?
I have pixel launcher on my V35. The LG double tap to wake/sleep works but only when I double tap in the notification pull down. Near the top. This is still the LG feature so maybe not good for you. I thought stock Android had the double tap thing tho. Maybe not Android One?

Nova launcher can be used to double tap and lock

Double tap

I recently got this phone, one of it's features are gestures, I don't see an option to double tap to lock, Am i missing something or is just not there?
I don't see this option anywhere. I'm afraid it's unavailable...
EDIT: delete this post please.

You can simply use a third part launcher instead of the stock one (i.e. ruthless, pear, cpl or the best one, in my opinion: smart launcher)
I have this problem on my new Oppo Find 2X pro. Double tap to switch on, not available to switch off. Could a software update solve this. Seems the only way to lock the phone is to use the external button. My Realme X50 Pro 5G has this option. Any other ideas please.
it is sufficient to connect the double tap gesture to the "lock screen" built-in app.
fast and easy.
