I was just curious if there is a way to set the action for when I double tap the screen. Maybe I missed it in the settings somewhere. I have an LG phone and use double tap to wake and put my phone to sleep. With Themer it just opens the settings dialog.

I found the setting but cant seem to find a system default setting. Knock on and off is one of the LG G2's best features. It would be nice if it could be used with Themer. Could it be considered for a future release?
Other than that great app.

Try knocking the status bar if you have that enabled. It should work.

Root your opx install xposed then gravity box[lp] then you can add doble tap status bar to sleep
PS: in stock oxygen os double tap status bar to sleep works on lockscreen in gravity box you can add that tweak when phone is unlocked

Or you can just go to settings > buttons and enable double tap to sleep on one of the touch capacitive buttons.

Get a custom launcher.
I use Lightning Launcher Pro (but almost all custom launchers have this function). What I even do is to link the double-tap function of the custom launcher to the "sleep+hibernate" shortcut of Greenfy so now when double tapping on the screen (everywhere) it puts the display to sleep and greenifies - win win.

Nice. Action Launcher 3 can do this too in the Shortcuts menu. Hibernate+Lock Screen is a win win for sure.
Hi thanks for the input guys. Good advice I was wondering if can achieve this with nova launcher as I have been using it for years but never seen that option maybe I missed it. If it is their could someone explain how I can activate on nova otherwise I might use the launcher which has been suggested thanks.

It works in Nova too..
Go to nova settings > gestures > double tap > slide the list to right you'll find activities > go down the list and find greenify > click on hibernate + sleep
and you're done... B)

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.
David.
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.
So I have a LG G7 One which runs stock Pie. Sadly LG's knock knock features aren't included. Bootloader is locked, so no root options currently. This my first phone that doesn't have a root option. I feel a little limited.
I'm looking for a way to lock my phone without using the power button. Ideally double tap to lock. I've tried a few different options but they all seem to have the same limitation. They force me to use my pin after I lock my phone with them. Something about my phone being locked by admin. I would like to just use my finger print scanner. Is there any workaround for this?
I'd prefer double tap to lock, but I'd settle for a quick settings toggle. Are there any apps that allow this? And would I face the same issue, where it forces me to use my pin afterwards?
I have pixel launcher on my V35. The LG double tap to wake/sleep works but only when I double tap in the notification pull down. Near the top. This is still the LG feature so maybe not good for you. I thought stock Android had the double tap thing tho. Maybe not Android One?

Nova launcher can be used to double tap and lock
Hi
After update MIUI to 12.5, I normally use an application (screen off and lock) to lock the screen, since double tap doesn't work.
Turns out that after the update when I lock the screen through the app, I can't unlock with fingerprint saying that "device locked by admin" and I have to use the pin to unlock.
Anyone knows how to overcome this?
Thanks in advance.

Okay,updated our phone today and got exactly same problem as you..
This was not funny at all i have to say,my wife is absolutely crazy because of this issue and think´s the whole phone is ruined because of this,okay..
Isn´t it anyone out there who has a solution for this or do we really have to wait for another update to come before we can have the fingerprint to work again because i really hope they going to fix this for us or?

Same here on mi 10T
I have learned not to update MiUI, as the updates rarely fix old bugs and ALWAYS introduce new bugs. Best just sticking with what it came with until a custom ROM comes along and then leave the MiUI crap in the past.
Problem is 3rd app lock method.
Here is solution:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/oauv33
I use NOVA LAUNCHER and I have same problem after 12.5 update. So I changed LOCK method in NOVA and it works.

So easy but still so difficult to figure out...
This was really good to learn about i have to say,thank you very much for your help!
I solved this issue after updating my Mi Note 10 to MIUI 12.5.1 by switching from 3rd party screen lock / turn off app to an official built-in widget simply called "Lock" (go look for it, it should be near the top in Widgets section when you press and hold empty home screen area).
To remove unofficial screen lock app you must first revoke admin rights, of course, otherwise its ghost will keep reappearing after each uninstall attempt.
I simply like stock MIUI Launcher, so using 3rd party ones to solve this was unacceptable for me.
if u guys are just talking about turn off screen without using side button, then there are some options present in miui...
1) [if u r using button navigation] setting> additional setting> button shortcut> turn off screen> choose as ur choice
2) You can also use the quick ball, 'setting> additional setting> quick ball' with quick ball u can use 5 shortcuts like home, menu, lock, clear cache, ss etc
3) the widget option... Just like d789 said
And 'double tap to wake or turn off screen' option is present in the "setting> always on display & lock screen"...
Thanks, I overlooked that buttons shortcuts in Settings can be configured to lock the screen as well (e.g. long hold Back or Home on-screen button).
Yeah, double-tap to wake or turn off screen is also very useful feature I use since day 1.

For me this doesn't work.
I use Nova and always have.
In Nova I go to "Gesture and Inputs" change the "double tap" to "screen lock".
I then choose "Accessibility" and add Nova.
After that if I double click nothing happens. If I remove Nova from accessibility and then double tap it asks me to use device admin or accessibility. I use this way on every single mobile I use but on 12.5.3 I can't pick accessibility as it refuses to do anything when Nova is added.

Thanks, I didn't know about that.
Now the only thing for me that is still broken is the fact that I can't use gestures with Nova launcher.
To everyone who's still facing this issue. This fix helped me and a lot of others as well. Try it out.
It's a rare but annoying glitch in MIUI, you can easily solve it:
1. Go to TWRP -> File Manager
2. Browse to: /data/system
3. Delete file "locksettings.db"
4. Reboot.
You will need to set the lock screen password/pattern again, if you had any before.

That's a bit harsh. We have had Redmi 4 prime, 5 plus, note 7, 8, 10 and mi 11 lite and I have not had significant issues during upgrades.

Dear friend, my phone is Redmi Note 7 Pro. I had no issues after doing this. It worked perfectly for me. So, as I saw this forum thread before fixing my phone, I just shared the information I knew. Not everyone will get the same result from this, because not everyone has the same phone. So, whether or not you didn't get the expected outcome, you shouldn't tell others to not follow this. It's their choice, not yours. Maybe atleast some of them will find it useful than you did.

Thank you very much.
This works for my RN10Pro using MIUI13.0.6, change the lockscreen setting in Nova, from admin to accessibility.
I can't double tap to close home screen anymore, but there's still home button in the lowest middle to do that.
The most important thing is, I can directly go to home screen just by touch the fingerprint button.
Thanks for your advice.
If you guys are talking about the fingerprint button then i suggest you just use the gestures that are provided by default of the settings since there nust be a spatial consisting of failure of recognizing the algorithm of identifying user by fingerprint method or they just didn't implement the algorithm that is stored inside the operating system of the phone.
So gestures is the only way to go you can apply gestures by using monetary apps that may give access to other gestures like slide down to view user statistics or usage and slide up to reveal system settings but i couldn't blame the operating system though for having not enough gestures but I'm also. Thankful that they have custom gestures so i wouldn't imply to an app that can be placebo or popular in playstore who knows it can be money cashgrab(just stating the fact that i had to cancel so many subscription on a gesture app)
