[Q] Can I disable the lockscreen? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

When I press the home or power button to wake up my phone, I would like to go straight to the home screen without having to swipe across the lockscreen first. Any way to do this?

I think settings/lockscreen then top option you can choose none. Instead of swipe.

All this is done on your lockscreen:
Touch the clock and swipe down. An ^ arrow will appear at the bottom
Swipe right and you should see a box with a +
Tap the box.
Choose your widget (you can only choose certain widgets. Not all widgets available for your home screen are available on lockscreen)
To add another, do the same, but swipe past the existing widgets.
To rearrange your widgets, long tap the widget and move left/right.
NOTE: the widget to the farthest right will always show on your lockscreen by default when turning the screen on.
If the ^ is present on the lockscreen and you want to unlock it, tap the ^ and unlock like normal.
** All this is assuming you are just using the normal swipe to unlock. Not the unlock pin, or something like that. I don't use that stuff, and it's all similar to do, but may be slightly different.

[Q] Hiding soft keys quickly

First off, let me say that I love that the G3 comes with a setting to hide the soft keys. The only complaint I have is it takes too long to go away once you bring it up. If you don't know what I mean go into an application bring it up and go home and see how long it stays.
I used an application called UND Navbar and it works great, you can choose to hide the bar as soon as you press a button. The only downside is the fact that you can't use the split screen and other button combinations the g3 has, you're stuck with the traditional soft keys.
Is anyone aware of an app or an Xposed Module that would allow me to have the navigation bar hide once I click one of the buttons?

I have that and I've looked through. I don't see any settings for that.
Could you guide me to what you are talking about, because I can't find it.

Hey dude i was using UND aswell problem is its quite slow, and often it glitches or buttons dont work.
I tried many methods, by far the best one is "Auto hide soft keys" off the market - its VERY snappy and you can adjust the miliseconds for it to minimize OR just get it to minimize once you hit the key.

UND was lightning fast for me but the problem was it doesn't give you the split screen and drop down options that the lg soft keys have. It's the same problem with GMD.

Like what?
Split screen works for me with GMD enabled, but you may mean something else.

How do you get it to work? It disappears from the bar when I turn the app on.

Go to the recents window, select Dual Window - Slide first app UP - slide 2nd app DOWN, use as normal, touch the bottom when you want the nav bar to reappear.
Okay, that makes sense. I feel pretty stupid right now considering I see that option every single time I go to the recents window.

[Q] Lock G4 from the screen?

I frequently do things on my phone while it's lying on it's back on a table, rendering the lock button and volume buttons on the back useless. Is there a way to add a lock button to the home touch buttons or notification panel?
If you're using the default launcher, double tap on the screen to lock.
If you're using another launcher, such as Nova, double tap the notification bar at the top of the screen.
You can also use Tasker to create a lock shortcut action and icon.
And if you have Tasker AND Nova, you can assign a double tap gesture on the launcher to start the shortcut action.
If you're using a third party launcher that supports gestures, you can use this app:

This all is also really handy:

Double tap the notification panel without expanding it and it will lock or a blank spot on the home screens/lock screen.
I use greenify, if you swipe up it gives you the option for Google now or hibernate+lock screen, its nice because my fingers are usually right at the home buttom

+1 super simple. Works from any screen.

Power button far to Reach? Try Bixby Button Instead

If you are having difficulty reaching power button to put phone to sleep, you can remap the Bixby button to do so.
Its pretty easy.
You should be on at least XXXXASBA firmware.
Add a quick command in Bixby at Advanced Feature.
Command "Turn off Display".
In bixby remap optipn, select single press and assign the command.
The only drawback is it takes a sec to turn the screen off.
Still, sometimes it better than reaching that Monster's button on top. Enjoy!!
Ah thanks mate, you're a genius. If only they had double tap to lock on the stock launcher

You do have it in launchers like Nova. Couldn't find anything special about OneUi launcher so it took me 0.0001s to make wise decision
Also been using Nova double tap to lock...

You can create a shortcut to lock the screen instead using the same Quick command. Just go to quick command. Select the gear icon next to the command and create the shortcut by selecting Add shortcut to home screen. At least you now get an alternative to double tap on screen.
Double tap to lock screen might also be possible if you use Tasker (I am not sure but I can give it a try)
Thanks, I'm using this now ?
Thanks, this is actually pretty smart.
But I feel like its more for lefties. Still have to reach when holding it in my right hand, so basically makes no difference reaching bixby button or the power button.
If you have "difficulties" reaching the power button... Then you have serious anatomical issues and the phone sl button a is the least of your worries...
Just grab Good Lock, install NavStar and add the screen off button to your navigation bar.
Here's how I have mine set up...
you can use One Hand Gesture+ as well, and set one of the gesture handles to turn off the screen. Simply swipe from either side that you like (similar to how you open Apps Edge) to turn off the screen

GoodLock is not globally available. NiceLock is an alternative though.

Any setting or module that allows screen to be turned off by double tap?

How can I customize my phone to turn off screen by a double tap somewhere, like at the top on the notification bar? On my old phoneI could do this and I think it may have been an option in Gravity Box. I know there's the option to turn off the screen when double taping an empty area on home screen. But I would prefer something more accessible. Anyone know of any working Magisk modules that allow for this customization?
You can do this natively via motion & gesture settings if you are on One UI 3.0

Sorry if I wasn't clear but I mean from any screen, not just the home screen. I think it was an option in gravity box to double tap the status bar at the top to turn off the screen.

The closest setup I could find was One Hand Operation, by Samsung. You are not double tapping, but you can swipe from ANY screen.
