Hi
Im missing the double tap to turn of feature that was on my LG V30, how do i enable this on the nova launcher?
Thanks
You need to have Nova Launcher Prime - hold empty space > settings> gestures > double tap > lock screen (this is probably by default) > allow every permission system throws at you.

this requires pin to unlock.......
It's impossible without root. Nová have this function by timeout. Not true double tap. Huawei have this function only on low priced mobile. Not for our Mate users.
I've got fingerprint scanner. But there's an option: display a black overlay for 10 seconds, that won't need pin to unlock
Or
Lock the screen right away(pin to unlock) with administration privileges (no root) but can't use fingerprint scanner.
What android version do you have? Needs to be 5/6 or higher.

I've got a gTablet running the most recent Cyanogen (I haven't done anything else to it since I had to wipe it with nvflash). I'd like to set it up to have a slide to unlock it (so it doesn't get bumped on while in my bag) or that connect-the-dots thing.
I tried to set up the connect-the-dots in Settings > Location & Security > Set up screen lock > Pattern
It accepted a pattern, had me confirm it, then sent me back to Location & Security where it seemed the change had been implemented. I clicked the power button to turn off the screen then clicked it again to turn it back on... and it came right back to where it was without asking for the pattern. Same deal when I reboot.
How do I make it ask me for the pattern?
EDIT: Evidently there's a setting under Settings > Cyanogen Settings > Tablet tweaks where the lock screen is disabled by default. Unchecked that and things are good.
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.
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)
Hi all,
I recently purchased a Samsung A21s, running Android 10, for my wife and set it up so that when she pressed the power button to use it it went straight to the home screen. No Lock Screen at all.
She wanted to try the Fingerprint option so I set that up however she did not like it so I deleted her Fingerprint. Now I cannot find out how to bypass the Lock Screen, she how has to swipe to unlock. There is no "None" option either in the Lock Screen Settings, cannot remember if there was originally.
At the moment I press the power button, swipe on the lock screen, and it takes you to the home screen.
It used to:
Press the power button and it takes you to the home screen.
I just cannot figure out what I did initially to bypass the Lock Screen altogether. Can anyone stop me from going mad?
TIA
No ideas anyone?
I would really appreciate any input at all.
Try this go to Settings < General Management < Reset < Reset Accessibility Settings if that doesn’t work choose the first option Reset Settings.
Thanks for the suggestions, however neither solved the issue.
How to change the setting to get to the home screen, without swiping. Go to Settings > Lock screen > Lock screen type, and from the list select None.

Unfortunately there is no None option in the list.
Sorry if you tried that already, then I'd say the phone might need a software update.
If the software is up to date, lack of the "None" option, might have to do with a finance app, such as Google Pay, Samsung Pay, or banking apps. I think they have to have a lock screen, if you have a finance app installed and active, that might be why the option is hidden.
Related to this, I notice there's a toggle setting called Security policy updates. It's in Biometrics and security > Other security settings > Security policy updates. I'm not sure exactly what that does, but I'm assuming limiting options in settings, to comply with app security, might be part of it.

Thanks for your reply. I have no finance or banking apps on the phone so I guess this is not the cause of the missing "None" option. I still think it was related to me enabling fingerprints and then disabling it, though I'm not 100% sure. It is just do annoying. Have also contacted Samsung who "jumped" onto my phone to have a look around and they were unable to find the cause as well.
Settings lock screen then lock screen type and then none it should be there

Have To Tried Resetting Your Device ?
No I have not. Just don't want to go thru all the setup and installation of apps and settings.
My previous Sony had an option in the Display/Settings for running apps and games to run in full screen.
There is no such option on the Xperia 1 IV. I have several apps and games that are having black bars and not full screen.
What methods are there of forcing apps and games to run full screen???
Immersive mode is broken since Android 11. The only options require root.

It's a shame, I remember with my old Sony Xperia 1 Mark II, there was an option under "display" & then "display apps in full screen, apps that did not display full screen had the option to use full screen as normal.
Also there was an option" double tap to wake" which also appears to be missing in the Xperia IV.

Settings -> Display -> Lock screen preferences -> Tap to show lock screen. See the descriptive text under the option. Doesn't this do that?

You are correct, this option is for the "double tap to wake" option, it's just worded differently than the predecessor, thanks for correcting me.
