[Q] Mahdi Rom: Dissable Double Tap to wake - G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
does someone know how I can disable the Double Tab to wake function in the latest Mahdi-Rom?
I only use the quick cover on / off function, so i dont need Double Tap to wake.
I want to dissable this function to save energy.
Sorry I have to ask here, but I dont have enough post to write in the dev area.
Maybe someone can ask in the dev thread.

On the current version of Mahdi, at least, it's about where you'd expect to find it, on Settings>Display at the bottom.

Disabling gestures & keeping DT2W

Hi,
I like the new gestures feature, but I dont need all of the swiping and it just turns on my screen by itself when it's my pocket. I'd really like to keep double tap to wake though as its very useful.
is there any way to disable the rest of the gestures while keeping double tap to wake? I'm rooted if that helps.
thanks.

Gestures do not work when its in your pocket unless there is light in your pocket. Proximity has to see light to enable gestures, not to mention needing motion to wake up gestures. Other than that, you can flash one of the high end roms as they give you full gesture selection and you can change and disable specific ones.

Well, no idea about that, but it's not uncommon for me to take it out of my pocket and find the screen on. Happens rarely yes, but it does happen.
Is there any particular ROM you can recommend? I value battery life above all else.
Thank you!
You could try ElementalX 0.11 or 0.12?

ViperOne M8 allows full control of all gestures.

Sorry that I am replying to an old thread, but I've noticed that my recently acquired One M8 is somewhat random responding to DT2W and the post by an0ther seems relevant.
The gestures do respond better in light conditions, however I've found that lightly pressing the top of the phone, in the proximity detector area, between thumb and forefinger and then immediately doing DT2W the phone wakes up even in the dark. Is this just my phone or possibly a general characteristic?
I have the ElementalX kernel installed. Also I have a One M7 with ElementalX and the gestures always work day or night.
Any ideas why the One M8 should respond in this way?

Always On Display MOD

Is there a MOD for the Always On Display stock software that if you double tap the clock it will automatically wake the screen?
Currently I can do a double tap on the Always On Display only if it has a notification icon present, but if no notification is currently present, I can't double tap it to wake the screen.
I am not interested with the Easy screen turn on function on the Dexterity and interaction section since I cannot make it work on a different angle. It only works when it's on top of the table.
I also don't want 3rd party apps as I don't trust the battery issues (We'll maybe if someone can justify and explain it here that they're just the same).
Thanks for the help guys.
Cheers

Double tap to wake

Hello,
Double tap to wake is enabled in motion gestures but it's not working for me.
I'm on Viper 10 3.2.0
with elementalx 0.22
and pnp and thermals tweaks
Can someone help me please ?
Thanks
Try changing the lock screen to HTC lockscreen. As I read in that rom thread that it only works for that lockscreen. I dont know if they meant for that lock screen on stock rom or viper. Report back and let us know!
It only works on the stock HTC lock screen. And only when the phone is landscape

Hello,
Thanks for your answers.
That's strange, I already use the HTC Lockscreen. When I wake up the phone using the power button and see the lockscreen, double tap let me put it in sleep mode.
Double tap to sleep is working but not Double tap to Wake...

Recalibrate gravity sensor. That might help. Also you need to be holding the phone in portrait mode for it to work. It also generally needs a bit more forceful tap to wake.
I agree that the tap has to be a little more forceful than what you would regularly do. My phone is completely stock and it works to wake or sleep while it is laying in the table ir I have it in my hands. I don't have to hold it any special way for it to work.

Don't you have to use the pull motion to activate the double tap to wake.
Eg: pick up phone, double tap, screen comes on.

Hi Mew,
I'm having the same issue with my brand new HTC 10 that just came in today. Or the opposite? I can Double Tap to Wake but not Sleep.
Why does DT to Sleep ONLY work on the lockscreen? Did you ever get this figured out??
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Any way to disable double tap screen lock/unlock?

Hi
Is there a way to disable the screen lock/unlock with double tap? (i guess it's called KnockOn)
Lock you can partially disable by changing launcher, but double tap on status bar will lock device. To disable double tap to wake and fully disable double tap to lock you'll need to use kernel source and command 'make menuconfig' and find and disable module for knock on, and than compile kernel.
Download the app from playstore called v10 hidden settings. It was made for lg v10 but also works (most of the features) on k10. Go to knock on settings and disable it. Btw why do u need to disable this its a good feature.

This app i mentioned does the trick no need to do anything with kernel and using a launcher will just remove knockon from the launcher only.

Is double tap to turn off screen possible

As the title suggests is it possible to double tap on empty area of Home Screen to turn the phone off just like we use Double tap to wake the phone.
This was an inbuilt feature on Asus Zenfone 5z and seems counter intutive to have only one option to turn the screen on and not off here.
Regards
One option; with Nova launcher
Yes, likely via custom ROMs.
Also, probably via custom launchers. Nova Prime allows double-tap to "lock screen". Double tap to "screen off" very likely via a specific 'Nova activities' option but I haven't figured this out yet.
EdXposed ---> install GravityBox ---> it's then possible to turn screen off via double-tap on lock screen or via double-tap on status bar.

Actually you can turn it off with one tap... if you use a hammer

You can use edge screen. SoftKey Edge. There is a lock option. It is not double tap but it works.
you can add the screen off icon at navigation bar with a samsung app called Navstar, with that you can single tap to turn off the screen
Good Lock - Navstar adds a navigation button to turn the screen off

I dont see any gestures for that in nova launcher?
You must have the prime license, in gestures&inputs there are multiple options to choose from, for each gesture you can choose any action available, you can even have the same action assigned to multiple gestures, I use one finger down to lock, and also double tap to lock

As i already have Nova prime, this worked perfectly. Thanks.
Nice just learned something new. Used nova star and added screen off and notification bar button. Now I have 5 buttons readily available.
Wish you could open and app with a button. That way I can reserve the power double tap for another app.

Feeling seriously numb right now. I've used Nova (Prime) for years, and never knew that was there. Searched all over for a good program to sleep/ lock. Found a very simply one (Screen Lock Widget 1.0) which is no longer available, but I have. Works great. No resources used. But having the ability in Nova is great.
So.....thank you for sharing that. It's the simple things in life.
It makes no sense why Samsung would give us the means to tap awake our screen but not add that option to turn it off.
That was a weird decision for not including double tap to sleep. It's like making an automatic car with clutch where the clutch is only used for the reverse lol.
Anyhow, this is by far the best app on the playstore that can put the phone sleep and still use the default One UI.
The nice thing about it is that you can also tap on the status bar to put the phone to sleep while using an app for instance.
Tripe tap on the home screen is recommended though, you'll understand why after using it for a while

The only review from a Note 10+ user of this app suggests not to install.

That is very interesting, I never use always on display and it seems like the Note 10 has a lot of issues. For instance Samsung voice recorder app doesn't play recorded audios while the screen off( stops playing after 2min or so).

I just tried Nav Star app from within Good Lock (From Samsung App store) and added 2 extra buttons.
Thanks to the user who recommended it earlier, now I can turn off phone as well pullbdown notification bar from the Navigation bar, if I can get used to these extra buttons I might as well keep them.
Yes software wise they do need to improve a lot of things here.
1. First Install Good Lock :

2. Then Install Nav Star : http://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.samsung.systemui.navillera
Well, very useful indeed, but I prefer hiding the nav bar, just to avoid screen burn in and to get some more screen area
