[Problem] Candy5 LG G3 D855

I'm a new user and searched similar threads...
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.

Double tap gone in Cyanogen 12.1?

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!!

A problem with google assistant and lock screen.

So I'm getting inconsistent results from google assistant when the screen is off and locked (I use the dot pattern for locking). From what I can tell I have to reboot the phone and google assistant will unlock and answer my questions without any issue. THEN after a few hours or so, maybe half a day, when I say "Ok google", the device will perk up and register my request, but won't automatically unlock. so I have to draw the pattern for it to respond to my question.
What's the deal with this? Why does it sometimes work, but other times it doesn't? Has anyone else had this problem? It seems so random. I can't figure it out.
Thanks for any help.

EDIT: Just figured it out myself. When I lock with the double tap it won't unlock with "ok google". The reason, so far as I can tell is that Nova Launcher is responsible for the double tap screen lock/unlock feature, and so Google assistant won't unlock through it. When I disable double tap through Nova Launcher but enable it through system settings I can only double tap to unlock, and the double tap for locking doesn't work at all.
I can't find a solution where double tap works to turn the screen both on and off, AND assistant always works. But at least I'm one step closer to the solving the issue.
You can double tap on the notification bar and then disable the Nova double tap lock. Not what you want exactly but since Nova can't do what you need, it may be the only way to have your Nova and Assistant.
Honestly though, I have Nova but have been pretty OK with the way the LG launcher can be configured.

I use Nova with a pin on my lock screen. Google Assistant works as advertised every time... That said I very recently did a factory reset. Do you have AOD enabled?

Ok, this is kind of a BS workaround, but here's your solution:
Go to Settings > Lock Screen > Voice Recognition
Set an unlock phrase different from "OK Google." (I used "hello phone," but whatever...)
Now if you "OK Google" your phone and your knock code / PIN / pattern unlock screen comes up, you can use "hello phone" as an alternate, and it'll bypass the lock screen.

Double tap the notification bar? When I do that it just shuts off the screen. Is there some other way of getting to this setting? I mean, I can go into Nova settings and assign 'none' to double tap, but then I still can't double tap to turn the screen off. Apparently Nova interferes in some way. It won't cede control double tapping to the system settings even when there's no action assigned to it.

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.

Question Cannot Screenshot or double tap to wake.

Hi guys! I used some adb commands to remove some bloatware but seemed to remove something that means I can't screenshot anything on the phone nor double tap to wake the screen when it's on standby. Any idea what I might've uninstalled for this to have happened? I'd like to reinstall again without resetting the entire phone. Cheers!
