Does anybody know a way to enable double tape to wake/sleep?
Instead of double tap, long press on the bottom of the screen where the home button would be if the screen were on. There's no built-in double tap to sleep, but some third party launchers (like Nova) have implemented a work around. But it only works on the home screen.
The home button method is lmag, but still not great. It's nice to be able to just tap any part of the display and for it to wake up. That's one thing the iPhone definitely got right this time around compared to S9+

Will double tap to turn off the screen work from anywhere, no matter what app is on the screen?
IT would be a nice feature to have, I use it all the time on my LG

the rating speaks for itself :crying:
Implementing this feature will probably add battery drain as some sensors need to be active all the time also a custom kernel could implement it. Wait and see

It can be an option.
The S9's "always on" home button requires a sensor to be on all the time, too. But the SD 845 has a very low power mode to support these sorts of things. I don't think double tap to wake would use any more power than Samsung's approach. But I'm happy with Samsung's approach, but I wouldn't mind a double tap to sleep, like my old G3 had.
ElementalX has double-tap to wake.

If you have nova prime you can setup double tap to sleep.

Well, sort of. One, it doesn't really put the phone to sleep instantly. What it does is reset the screen timeout to a very short value, so the screen goes black. Then, after the phone really goes to sleep, it resets the screen timeout in the background. Two, you can only do it from a Nova home screen. In LG's implementation, you could tap on the status bar on any screen to put the phone to sleep. (Or maybe it was the Nav bar. It's been a long time since I had my G3.)

Yeah you are correct on both. LGs way is anywhere half way down the lock screen could be double tapped to go to sleep. That's what I'm looking for. Just grabbed the s9 and I miss the dttS on the ls. The double tap on home button isn't too bad I suppose but still also miss the full screen dttW from LG.
if you have the home button showing on always on display you can double tap it to wake(instead of pressing it hard) just double tap it
If you use Nova Launcher you can use the double tap to turn off gesture.

Thanks... sometimes a long press takes a little while to work; double-tap seems instant!
This douple tap feature was available but it stopped 2 days ago. I don't know why or how to set it again.

Hi, thanks for your reply! I tried this Tap Tap App and in my opinion it is not usable. Even you got the red eye monster (proximity sensor still shines).

Little bit better for use, but does not lock the screen as well.
Smart Screen ON
I found really nice app called Smart Screen ON: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.android.smartscreenon&hl=en
Paid app.
It works really nice in wave mod and in tap mod on proximity sensor as well. BUT: proximity sensor is shinig for example 5 minutes (minimum) and then app doesnt work!
I think it should be a kernel feature to work without proximity sensor...
No more choices?
lock screen app
I figured it out with app called Lock screen app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kennethcheng.com.lockscreen.free).
I have an icon in home screen for turn off the screen and the shortcut on lock screen of this app to turn off the screen after home button is pressed.

You will see when your power button will go wrong... Btw I have hard silicone case on mobile and it is little bit hard to push down power button...
Just some info for everyone that is wondering, not sure if this has been covered yet, I looked and it seems that it hasn't been mentioned.
This is a very easy way to get customized knock-off (double-tap to turn off screen) working on any non-stock ROM where knock-off might not be included.
1. Download GMD Gesture Control from the market. You should probably use the paid version since the free version doesn't support custom gestures. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodmooddroid.gesturecontrol&hl=en
2. Download the Screen Off app (free). https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=en
3. Open up GMD and turn off any gestures you don't want that are included with the app.
4. Click on User Gestures up top, and then click path.
5. Under "Gesture Path", type in "T-T"
6. Click under action, select "application" and select "Screen Off" (the one that you just downloaded).
7. Click "Save" at the bottom, and bam. Double-tap goes to screen off.
**NOTE** I changed the starting zone (in the Create Gesture window) to only recognize double-taps on my status bar region, because often I would shut my screen off without meaning to.
Sorry, if this is a repost, I just spent a long hour pulling my hair out trying to get this to work with Nova launcher (wanted my double-tap to work anywhere in my ROM), and was super stoked when I figured this out.
Great idea I wonder why I haven't thought about this before
Thank you. I tried to spread the word on this method when CM was first released for the G2. My only difference is I use Secure Settings
Edit: just realized you missed another obvious bit
If you use Nova or Apex you can set a double tap gesture to turn off the screen the same way. Suddenly you have the same functionality as LG included

Ah good idea. Then you can have an easier time turning the screen off when you're in your launcher. Good stuff.

How can you do the screen off? I stopped using Nova because I could no longer turn off the screen, there is no turn screen of under gesture settings.

Hi,
It works with Nova, you need to double-tap in the notification bar area (but only here), nothing to set in Nova it works just like that...
How about screen on?

You are correct, there isn't a screen off option. However, you can set the double tap gesture to open a SHORTCUT that will turn the screen off.
I'm assuming the app OP linked to allows you to set a shortcut for screen off. If not, Secure Settings for sure does (it's what I use).
Here's proof that it works
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvesNzvgKDQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player
That video uses OP's GMD Gesture control trick and Nova Launcher's double tap gesture. Only difference is I'm using secure settings instead of the screen off app
Ok, for those who want to use screen off with Nova or CM do this.
Download this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=en
in Nova Settings go to gesture and Buttons/ Double tap/ and select Screen off, Simple as that. GL
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?
I constantly open my phone to check the time, hit the home key one handed and look at time on lock screen. But now I'm holding my phone by the bottom right corner and have dropped the phone before while trying to reach up and press the side button to close... it's a pain.
Sure I can sit there and wait for timeout, or I can put it back in my pocket, in which case it might "swipe open" and be doing all kinds of things while in there.
Wouldn't it be cool to look at the time and just click something, like the home button again, or the 'back button' and have the phone close again??
Anyone know how?

Are you rooted? If so using the home or back button could be possible via smali edit. If your not rooted, I can write an app that will show a square (size determined by you) that will show on your lock screen. When you tap this square, it will shut off the screen, tapping and moving your finger on the square will move the square. Square is removed once unlocked.

You can reassign one of the capacitive keys (e.g. "back button") to turn the display off with an Xposed framework module. And there are legions of apps that do similar actions if you do a search.
Even better IMO is to use a lock screen app like Dynamic Notifications which can automatically show you the time when you pull it out of your pocket and automatically turn off the screen as you put it back in a pocket. Without pressing any keys at all. It does this by using the proximity sensor and it works very well indeed.

They may not be running xposed. Therefore an xposed module may not work. Secondly, all lock screen apps suck. Also, if it's using the proximity sensor to turn on the display from your pocket, it's draining additional battery.

All lock screens suck? Your objectivity is astounding. No subjective bias there whatever. The idea is to provide options to the OP, not cater to your idiosyncrasies.
The battery draw for the suggested app is tiny, much less than most apps that do not poll the proximity sensor and you have no idea if the OP may or may not wish to use an Xposed module.

No lockscreen app can provide the same amount of security as the default lockscreen. Therefore, it sucks. I can and have gotten around all popular lockscreen apps on the play store. Yes, the idea is to provide options to the OP, but make them good options and practical options.

Issue: Launchers when active disables the Double Tap feature to turn off the screen.
I like to use Nova Launcher for several reasons. However with the new LG V30, when Nova Launcher is active the Double Tap to turn off the screen fails to work. Double Tap to turn it back on works fine, as does the Double Tap from the Lock Screen works for both screen on and off.
Is this a known issue with launchers, or is it an LG V30 issue?
I've not had a phone with the feature for Double Tap screen off/on before, so I have no idea if it's to be expected and find nothing posted about this either.
Thank you for reading,

Nova has its own homescreen shortcut for switching off the screen: Widgets -> Nova Action -> activate lockscreen. Of course Nova needs the permission for that.

Since that shortcut switched off the screen on every Android phone I had so far as long as Nova has the required administrator permissions set. So I see no need to avoid it.

There are two modes, one of which locks the phone, after which the fingerprint unlock doesn't work, you have to enter your code to unlock the phone. The other one doesn't lock the phone at all, it just turns off the screen, and the AOD doesn't show up untill the phone actually times out and locks on its own (it says after 5 seconds, but it's actually 30 seconds for me).
I would agree. The present implementation of Nova Launcher doesn't really follow function or form with the V30's own lockup function. It doesn't really lock the phone up. It just darkens the screen... not secure it.
What I really would like for Nova Launcher to do is to enable the user to use the whole screen to implement the knock code to lock the screen up. I think the reason we can use the notification area alone, is that this is part of the V30's own infrastructure layout, and not a Nova Launcher area.

Yes but as other posters have said, it doesn't actually lock the phone - it just turns the display black and only locks after the display time out (60seconds in my case). It doesn't turn off the touchscreen, it just blanks it.
If you are rooted nova can lock the screen just as lg launcher does.
