Gravity screen - use flip case and trouser-function in parallel

hi,
i use my redmi note 2 with a flip case but want to have the rouser function in use as well, that means:
- having the flip case closed and take it out of the trouser in front of my face: display turns on
- having the mobile on the table and open the case: display turns on
- having the mobile on the table and close the case: display turns off
- having the mobile on the table and case opened, take up phone and lay it back: display turns off
is that possible? i tried lots of combinations, but that is not working...
regards,
astrakid
There's an app called "Gravity Screen" on Google Play Store at the moment, which has everything you mentioned .You need to be rooted and maybe xposed has to be installed. If you are on an AOSP rom, then you can use it with ease. But I'm not sure with MIUI roms.
The flip case cover the proximity sensor?

yes, and it works in general as well, but in combination it doesn't as I desire.
edit: i am running an aosp rom (android 5.0.2) with xposed and gravity. but gravity doesn't offer features like gravity screen, does it?

Not really, if he just wanted to wake the screen.
Every phone must have DT2W. I came from Windows Phone and Nokia spoiled me.
Android sucks badly in three departments DT2W, Glance and screen light up on notifications.
Only high end Samsung has these features.

I'm using umbrella CM13 for now, just don't want FP to unlock at all (seems not reliable), xiaomi series can use fingerprint sensor to wake the phone, is CM13 support this?

I'd suggest to use the proximity sensor to wake your device if you don't want to use the fp. It's called ScreenWakeUp from Play Store. It works quite well with stock 21s.
Also missing this feature from a CM based rom on my old handset.

Tks valy_cta, seems that the proximity sensor app work perfectly on cm13... testing it to see how much it "drain"...!

is it battery friendly ?
I didn't notice any battery issues with it. I have consumption by the app 2% which I can neglect. It's convenient as well.
If you're on Cm13 why don't you use ambient display? I know it's just showing the notifications, but you can wake it by power button if you notice any notifications. I do miss the ambient display from CM13 as now I'm now on stock. This is mainly the reason I installed ScreenWakeUp, it's not like ambient display, but at least is working in the same way by proximity sensor.

I don't want to keep press power button all the time, that's why I need the DT2W; the app u introduce works great! No need to press any key to unlock the lock screen anymore!

The flagship LG devices for the past 2-3 years have dt2w/knock features as well. G-Pad (7 and 8) and G series phones (G2, G3, G4, G5). LG has spoiled me too, now when I pick up a device without dt2w it feels like it is lacking an important feature.
Does anyone know if LG has a dedicated sensor for this, or uses the built in accelerometer?

Double tap to wake

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!

For the 10 Pro, that functionality is useful. It's just weird some of the choices made for an otherwise great phone. It's unfortunate.

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

Mate 10 Pro Double tap to wake

Hi Everyone,
Why Huawei didn't activate this function to their high end phone. THIS IS VERY USEFUL.
Anyone, manage to activate this on their rooted mate 10 pro?
Think you posted in the wrong section, only way is to install nova launcher as it works with this

No, nova launcher has no double tap to wake. It has only double tap to sleep. I think you are wrong. If there is, pls guide me and appreciate it much.

Some weeks ago someone hinted at some code in the firmware which was supposed to handle double tap to wake. But there's no confirmation anywhere that Huawei will ever enable or further develop that code, just assumptions.
in Mate 8 forum there is a thread about enabling double tap to wake through some modifications on build prop.
That requires Root but I have no idea if that procedure could be implemented on mate 10

It's probably because of the screen technoligy that's being used.
I thought I'd miss the double tap to wake after coming from a oneplus one but the fingerprint sensor on this phone is so good I haven't looked back, one press and it's unlocked

Yes, the sensor is good, but kind of difficult to access while phone is mounted in a car - double tap to wake would be nice then, I miss it from my OnePlus X.
hello to all.... is possible that even in march update official, for huawei mate pro, is not present double tap to wake? other alternatives drain many battery... i hope a solution in last 4 monthes in this post
my solution
Hello,
As a former LG G2 user I've quickly begun to miss the double tap to wake/sleep | knockon/off function with my Huawei Mate 10 Pro. So after lots of investigations and app trials here's my solution which seems to perform pretty well in my opinion.
After trying many apps I've encountered the so called 'Always on AMOLED | Edge lighting'.
Here's my setup on the mate 10 pro (emui 8.0.0, android 8.0.0, build 8.0.0.157 C432) first:
1) Disable smart cover
2) Disable pick to wake
3) Disable pulse light (it won't work and we'll use app's notification handling which is great in my opinion)
4) Disable always on display information
5) After installing the app (VERY IMPORTANT!):
- Go to ignore battery optimisation in android's settings and add this app to the Allowed list
- Go to battery / launch - then Manage manually the amoled app:
* set to on - auto launch
* set to on - secondary launch
* set to on - run in background
To quickly find the upper settings use the search bar in the settings menu.
Then in the app (v. 2.1.7 tested):
1) I've made a fully black background instead of a clock - upto your flavor
2) Enable the POCKET MODE! This actually saves battery a lot since if proximity sensor is covered the screen is completely shut down. When you sleep/want to save battery place the phone with face down - sounds as no problem to me..
3) Brightness is set to 10 or so - again upto you, the less the better for the battery
For double tap to lock I use a widget placed all over the screens where there are no icons - sounds annoying but once settled it works flawlessly. Here's the widget I use - DTS widget Skynet Software.
To be honest I've found it from this forum.
Share your experience as I might have missed something.
P.S Somehow the power button won't lock the screen now but I don't use it at all anyway, so no problem to me..
P.S.2 I would have bought another LG phone if only they have kept the IR Blaster but that's another story..

Same, I only like double-tap to wake on my phones without fingerprint sensors. On my mate 10 and Xiaomis, whether front or back, I am prone to using the fingerprint sensors, and they bypass the lock screen too.
Of course, it's a nice feature to have that doesn't drain battery, all my phones, except Huawei, have dt2w.

How? Its a completely different chipset? Your asking in the wrong place this is xiaomi mi A3 forums so I'd say ask in your own devices threads or open a question in your devices forums
Don't know why, but it's not working for me. Updated my Google app, turned on/off Ambient display and screen scares.
Still no luck

It is probably a server side change as with majority of new Google features. I just got a prompt if I want to use ambient assistant one day. To be honest you're not missing much. Assistant is showing all status bar icons (even the hidden ones) so it isn't possible to quickly see if there is some missed notification. Also it doesn't show arrival of new notifications. And the "photo frame" feature stops showing photos after few minutes, turning the phone into a fugly always on display. I turned it off and continue using system AOD which is working as one would expect. Maybe ambient assistant will get useful in the future (if it's going to be customizable), but now it seems like a beta version.
Works perfectly on my Mi A3, but i think i'll not use it or at least not the photo gallery mode.
