Hi there! Just curious if anyone else is having issues with the double tap feature. I installed CM13 a few days ago and could not get the double tap to work, same thing with CM12.1. There is a off/on switch in Display&lights and it works to double tap anywhere to bring the screen on, but can only double tap the status bar to put it to sleep? Doesn't make sense to only have it there...is there a way to return it to the same functionality of the stockROM? I like customROM's, but the double tap feature is way nice in a phone and I'd like it back! Help! Thanks!!

Does anyone know if the quick Circle case works with Nova Launcher?! Or do you need to be on the stock launcher to use it effectively? I know Nova doesn't have double tap to wake / sleep so that seems like it could cause issues. It's not a big deal for me because the stock launcher doesn't seem so bad compared to what I've used in the past... I just wanna know because I love me some Nova launcher and if I can still use it with all the benefits LG threw in that'll be nice!
I'm using both.
Double tap to wake works fine, doesn't work to tap off. I was worried about it until I remembered that just shutting the case would kill the screen.. Otherwise I let the screen time out when it's laying on my desk at work.
There are workarounds to get double tap to sleep working though.
You won't get access to the LG only widgets however, unless that's been figured out..

Double tap to sleep also works on Nova if you Double tap on the notification bar...
You can also download tap to sleep off the play store, then on Nova under setting set the double tap gesture and set the tap to sleep app as the action. And it works just like stock now.

My tap to sleep works just fine with Nova. I believe a setting in G3 TweaksBox allowed it to work... That or it just works lol not sure I'm still playing with this thing and figuring it out

Nova also makes the rom have 2 settings. The one in the app drawer is in list view and the one in the pull down shade is tabbed view. If you look at the icons under recents the icons are different. Any ideas?
One of my favorite features on the stock G3 Launcher in the double tap to turn the screen off function. Unfortunately my daily launcher, Nova Launcher Prime, does not come with the double tap to put screen to sleep without a slight modification. I was in touch with the app developer and he recommended a way to get this function to work with Nova.
Download Screen Off and Lock from Google Play
After you installed the app go to Settings>Security>Phone Administrators and turn on Screen Off and Lock
Next go to Nova settings>Gestures and Buttons>Double Tap
In this setting scroll to "Apps" then Screen Off and Lock
Done!
I use Nova Prime as well. I've been able to double tap screen off by double tapping the status bar without having to use a 3rd party app.

Been trying to figure this out for a while...thanks!
Omg I love you so much. I got it working with TSF Launcher xD. Root just a few days ago and now this. My life is complete. I even got the g3 tweaksbox. Whoop whoop!
Thanks for this, I've been running Nova since day 1 of owning the G3 and never knew about the double tap to turn screen off for stock launcher.....should have played with it more prior.
This app works some times, some times it doesn't. Sort of random, yet not sure why it doesn't at times.
You can also double tap the top of the screen in nova. It will work
If you have tasker already you don't need to get a new app for this to work.
Greenify works better for this imo. I tried this app and found I already have greenify to keep certain apps asleep so no need for another app and I dont have to tap the status bar. I just set nova double tap as that greenify shortcut and profit.
Thanks alot for this. I sometimes hide the status bar so this is very useful.
You'll need Greenify to make this work.
Nova Settings > Gestures and Buttons > Double Tap > Hibernate + Lock Screen
Now you just double tap your screen while on to turn the screen off.
This also works in Apex, and Solo as well. If you are on AOSP, you can also download download Tap Switch for double tap to wake if the kernal supports it. I was playing around on my LGOG and I kept tapping on the screen and realized I wasn't using my G3 lol. I ended up installing Tap Switch and it works great.

So, I installed Candy5 last weekend and I liked that room, faster and pretty nice, but now is starting some problems. When I restart the device, I lose all my configs, icons on homescreen disappear and my keyboard config also lost. Other point is, double tap to sleep doesn't work.
Some one had those problems too? Or knows how cand I fix that?
sorry if something iswrong.
My mistake, double tap is only on lockscreen, I would like on homecreen, double tap to enter in sleep mode, but it's ok, and I reinstall that room and after restart, my apps is ok now.
I double tap my screen when it off and the phone wont responde... I tries to find something in the setting but didny find nothing .. Whats the problem ?
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.
