I have my Nexus 5X, with Android 6.0 and i need to know how to get Double Tap 2 wake
Regard
It'll require a custom kernel and ROM, afaik
I was waiting for this too, when someone made the excellent point that we already have "single touch to wake and unlock" via the fingerprint reader. Granted, not much help when the phone is lying on its back, as you must pick it up, but still pretty cool. I find I'm not really missing DT2W.

I miss it when sitting at my desk. Most LG phones have the feature.
I need it too
The active display / ambient display may help when it is on your desk. Just nudge the phone and it will show you your messages and give the ability to unlock. That combined with Smart Lock would give the most people a convient workaround.

So I've had my HTC One M8 for about a few weeks now and I absolutely love it. One thing I really love are the gestures to turn it on and what not. I have realized when double tapping the screen or swiping up to unlock, it doesn't work unless the phone is straight upwards. Sometimes while sleeping, I lay on my side and often times, I have to tap like 10-15 times just for it to recognize it or swipe but nothing happens. Then I have to go all the way to the top to turn it on by hand. Does this happen to anyone else? I use Nova Launcher Prime, if that may help.
Yes it the same for everyone

You need to apply motion to the phone before it will activate the gestures, and allowing you to unlock the phone. It's a design choice.

Ahhh, I always wondered about that. Good info.
Is there a way to achieve this without applying motion?
All you need do is simply tap the phone on one edge to rock the phone and alert the motion sensor then 2 delibrate double taps not quick taps on the bottom half of the screen.
Works almost every time for me.
Pretty much what the title says. I'm using resurrection remix rom right now. Is there somewhere an option to be able to wake the device with a press of the home button without using fingerprint lock? Or actually any lock at all.

With no security feature? Why?
Fingerprint unlock is super fast and does what you want.
What's the usage case here?

In some cases fingerprint just doesn't work. After doing heavy manual labor without cloves the fingerprints kind of lose they edge and one has to put his finger many times on the sensor. That's only one of the reasons that popped up to my mind from my personal experiences. I had a bug or something in OOS 3.2.6 that it unlocked the phone with any finger or skin contact. It was a foolproof and very simple way to open up the phone but I think it would be useless without a wallet case or something similar.

Try adding the same fingerprint multiple times. This should make it more accurate.
Does double tap the screen to wake work for you or does it have to be the home button?

Double tap to wake would probably be enough. I've already added my finger multiple times but still having issues with it sometimes. At the moment I'm using Xposed Additions to unlock the screen. First I double tap to wake the phone to lock screen and then open it by long pressing the recent button if fingerprint is not recognized.
I realized after reading your post that I can wake up and unlock the device with double tap by removing security all together. Thanks for pointing me to right direction.

Well, first of all, i dont really like locking my phone, as it's mostly a waste of time. No one gets my phone without me knowing it really, so there's no problem with "security" and having to unlock it is just one extra step especially when i hand my device to someone. Now fingerprints are fast indeed, but i'd have to add quite a few of my fingers as right thumb/pointer might sometimes just not be available for whatever reason and even then sometimes my hands may be dirty because im working, or something, and i'll use a knuckle or something like that.
Now to be honest double tap to wake has been growing on me, but still i'd like the single press home button unlock. It just seems easier and more elegant.
I've seen lots of people complaining that Mi A1 does not have "tap to wake" feature. I personally don't miss it since i'm using the fingerprint reader to wake and unlock in one go.
However, I've seen and tested that small free and open source app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jarsilio.android.waveup
With this, you can wake phone by "waving" your hand above the proximity sensor.
I've put it on my A1 for 1,5 day now, and have seen no battery drain Developer explains:
Unfortunately, some smartphones let the CPU on while listening to the proximity sensor. This is called a wake lock and causes considerable battery drain. This isn't my fault and I cannot do anything to change this. Other phones will "go to sleep" when the screen is turned off while still listening to the proximity sensor. In this case, the battery drain is practically zero.

But it seems on A1 we are good to go.
I know it's not exact same feature than "tap to wake", but you might still want to give it a try if you're looking for a way to wake phone without using hardware button. As well it can wake the phone when taken out of pocket!

I've just installed it, thanks for the tip !! if you have more...
Thank you very nice. Working nice so far and no high battery usage
Thx for sharing nice app

First of all, thank you for the recommendation. This app is working flawlessly for now but I'm just curious about a feature. I have enabled the feature that allows to cover the proximity sensor to lock the screen. It needed device admin permission for that. Now, when I wave to wake it up, it takes me to the enter pin screen instead of fully unlocking so I have to enter the pin to unlock the device because it says that the device is locked by admin. Is there a workaround to bypass this one extra step?

This looks like the Nova's "double tap to lock" feature. If you're not rooted you need to grant admin permission to lock the screen, which requires PIN everytime you log back in.
Exactly, if you're not root, the "lock" feature is no good if you use fingerprint, I have disabled it, anyway phone goes to sleep on its own.
You should also check out KinScreen (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teqtic.kinscreen), it does wave to wake and also has many options to control when the screen stays on. For example, you can set it to stay on when your phone is at more than a 45° angle (like most times you're on your phone, reading something).

Thanks bro
You can basically use double tap to wake with this, just enable it and tap your proximity sensor to wake.
Ready to upgrade my V30 to a G7. Trying to find out if it has lift to wake like my old Pixel. I miss being able to just pickup the phone and see the clock and notifications. Thanks for your help.
Yes it has, even better, lift to wake and face unlock without swipe up.
It doesn't have lift to wake up but it has Always on display wich shows you the clock and what nothifications you have.
Yes it has. Just enable face unlock... Also you can enable swipe up to unlock if you want to see the lock screen...
Here is the prof...

Not really the same. Lift to wake turns the screen on when lifting. This option unlocks your device.
This option turns my screen on. Period. I think the OP has the sollution.
Hi there
I just switched from a Asus Zenfone 5z which has a dedicated fingerprint sensor. So one touch and you ard on home screen.
Now the fingerprint sensor on Note 10 + is slow, also the fact that one has to first click the side key and then put the finger on the screen and seemingly wait for 2 sec.
It is nowhere near as fast as the zenfone 5z.
Have you guys got any better solution or idea to unlock it fast.
Thank you for your time.

You don't exactly have to turn on phone to use fingerprint reader.
If you know the position of fingerprint reader then putting your finger there would turn on and unlock phone. But that would be if you can get it on right position. If not it would tell you and then you can readjust as it will then show you.
Other option would be to have always on display and would show position of fingerprint reader.
You can also double tap to wake up phone as well. Then go through same process.
Hope some others could add more but these has been what I've found out with my usage.

Enable the gesture "lift to wake"
Enable "always on display" so that you always see the finger print location.
What ever finger you use most for the finger print, scan it for 2 spots out of the 4 available. So I have my left thumb for 1, right pointer for 2, and right Thumb for 3 and 4. My right thumb is now always solidly fast.

1. Please clarify : Do you mean to register the same right thumb twice to increase accuracy of the right thumb, as that is what I mostly use.
2. Currently always on display is set as tap to show.
Does making it always show have any significant reduction in battery.
And that you for your time, you are very helpfull.

Didn't even know that I had to just press the locked screen.
Also thank you for recommending the lift to wake up gesture, has increased the speed a lot.
Still wondering if I can use NFC to keep it unlocked as it is always kept on a phone stand.
Many thanks for your time.

You can use Smart lock Trusted places under settings-lock screen to keep phone unlocked. You just have to turn on phone then just swipe to go into phone without password but it will lock after a certain timeframe if not used.

I do know about Smart Lock but prefer not to use it as keeping the GPS on does feed the location data to other apps as well, not something I prefer to give away.
Thank you for the recommendation though.
You can register your face as well. It works really fast with lift to wake up gesture.
Smart lock can be used without GPS on, it uses a trusted wifi network to keep the phone unlocked or, if you have one a bluetooth speaker...
Don't need GPS at all...
Another vote for smart lock but with a wearable like a wear os watch. I pretty much never have to unlock my phone.
In case helpful to someone else, I enabled the increase touch sensitivity setting under Display settings and the fingerprint seems to work much quicker as I don't have to press down harder.

#1 YES
#2 It's a 4300mah battery, the AOD doesn't even dent it.
Happy to help!
I have AOD set to always on, and it is super easy to unlock.
I pick up the phone, hold my thumb on the sensor and it is unlocked instantly. I don't see how it could get any better than that!

Hi, I did turn it on after reading your post, enabled my location with GPS off and wifi connected but it doesn't work.
Is there anything special I need to do in this regard.
Thanks

Yes I turned ut on as well as the phone comes with a factory applied screen protector and that is what that setting seems to be for. Should have been on by default.
