[Q] Double tap to unlock like the g2? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I think the double tap to unlock feature on the new g2 is kool... N I know there is an app called touch control for nexas 4.... Is there anything like that that works on our s4....
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app

Well, after searching for a while Iooks like there is no mod for this on our s4 yet... But we can use hand gesture to turn our fone on or off without using the power key... Or any key.... That's all I was looking for....

I used to love touch2wake and slide2wake on my Galaxy Nexus.
I do miss that feature. Glad you found an alternative, OP.

Optical Trackpad

Someone should make that button able to turn on the screen without rooting. It would be great

Don't see how that will ever happen. Just root and be done with it..

Impossible, sine you neet to change files in the root directory.
What app allows you to use the trackpad like that?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
You can find tutorials on how to do it yourself, or download a rom (like CM7) that already has it included.

None that I know of. What you have to do is map the trackpad button to the on button.
Get Widget Locker, it is a lock screen screen replacement. In the settings you can set it to easy wake mode. In this mode it completely replaces the original lock screen and let you wake up the device with any(!) hardware button (included the track pad)
The only downside is that you can't choose which buttons wake up the device. it's just all or nothing
I agree

I rooted, is there anything that does allow that. I feel like I saw an app on this forum not long ago that had that exact thing

Can you add shortcuts to the "swipe home key" gesture?

I like dragging it up to access Google Now, but it'd be really nice to drag it left or right to access other functions or apps. Is this possible?
Thanks

Would like to see that too. Would be very nice.

Does anyone know if this is a possible tweak?

disable capacitive buttons

Hi all, I was wondering: is there a ROM that will allow me to disable both capacitive buttons and remap the home button for Google now, svoice or anything else?
Or maybe an app that will give me the ability to do it.
I want to be able to use a navbar like the gnex and totally disable the back and menu capacitive buttons.
Thanks!
There's a how-to thread in Android Development for that, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823806

Note 2 problem

For some reason when I detach my s pen, the s pen icon and page buddy aren't showing up. It's making the sound and vibration but no icon or page buddy even though it's turned on. Secondly, does anyone have blocking mode icon in your scrollable settings in your notification bar? I thought mine was there but maybe I'm mistaken.. Anyone know why my s pen/page buddy isn't showing up? For $700 I should not be having this problem.

there's a setting for that option in the settings menu did you turn it off?
Interesting... I'm running nova launcher.. I switched back to touch wiz and it worked.. Now I'm back to nova and the icon is showing up when I pull it out. So I guess it's a nova launcher problem?

As far as I can tell those are TW home screen options. I use apex and don't have them either. Blocking mode is there on mine also
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
What the hell? You have blocking mode at your scrollable settings at the top? I thought I did last night, then I used it for the first time and now it just see it in my normal settings..

It should be between mobile data and power saving. What ROM are you on? Are you using the 15 toggle mod?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
I don't have the mobile data one either. No rom.. I'm stock with nova launcher prime. I only find mobile data and blocking mode in my full settings. I remember having mobile data on my scrollable settings on my s3 but not on here.. Wtf is going on?

I'm so pissed right now! I'm missing 2 toggle settings on my 3 day old phone. What the F!? Not only that but every time I restart my phone my keyboard goes off SwiftKey and back to Samsung keyboard

Did you flash anything to the phone that could have messed it up

I just talked to another guy who has the att version and he does not have the mobile data or blocking mode toggle either. What's going on here? I'm trying to find out if I have a defected device or not
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I do not have either of those in my pull down either. Mine totals 10.
Yeah man I have 10 too. Okay I feel better now.. I thought it was just me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
10 toggles here too. Don't need or want more.
The page buddy is touchwiz launcher specific. Your device isn't defective.

Err0xx is correct. I have Nova Prime and it is disabled as well. In addition a few widgets are removed as well. I like tue calendar app because it shows exchange tasks as well. It was removed when I used Nova. I tried to levrage Novas resize feature. Back to the drawing board.

I know that this is an old thread, but I got here searching for the same problem with the spen icon, also using Nova Launcher, and as there didn't seem to be a solution listed here, I thought I would post what ended up working for me. After a little troubleshooting with Samsung, they recommending hovering over the screen with the spen, and pressing the spen button 4 or 5 times rapidly, which I did, and now it all works perfectly. Can't comment on the toggles, but for at least the spen bit, maybe I can help someone out.
Same here...your phone is fine....I'm on ATT stock UCAMA4 build.....g
for custom launcher (apex, nova, go, and so forth) use an app from market called s-pen helper and it'll set you through for pen stuff and also for headset stuff. good luck...

Tap or knock to wake

Does anyone know of a way to get the double tap to wake feature to work on the 8.4? I had it on my G Pad and thought it was pretty handy.

Has anyone come across an xposed mod or any way to make this happen?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
That would require someone incorporating it into a custom kernel. There's really not any kernel devs working on these devices.
