Is there a way I could obtain double tap to wake feature for HTC Desire 820? It would make life much easier, especially when my phone is laying on a table and I just want to check a new notification.
HTC Dot View for HTC Desire 820
You'll need a custom kernel for that thing to work. There's a custom kernel but there are some bugs. Also, that kernel is for kitkat.

Hi all,
I saw some great stuff to wake phone swyping directly on the screen, like PGM on play store (for Evo 3D and Galaxy Nexus), and was wondering if would be possible to have it for my One X.
I was using Faux kernel including S2W, and really liked it, but I think it would be better/easier/more useful if we can wake touching the screen, not the 3 buttons.
Also, for exemple in Nova Launcher, there is the option to launch an app making other gestures than swype, like pinch or rotate. Do you think it would be possible to wake the phone just pinchin screen when off ? What about battery drain ? Lot of users had complaints about S2W draining the battery, but I didn't noticed a big difference with or without this feature.
Do you think a feature like this would be useful ? Technically, is it realistic ?
Sorry for poor english :silly:
nobody has any idea or interest in such feature? I think it would be great to have the possibility to pinch the screen to wake it, so easier than swiping over the buttons, and with less fails. And I don't think that kind of gesture could be easily done while phone is in the pocket.

Hello, great idea but not so "feasible" easilly ... imo
How do you swype on a screen which is not activated ?
You will let the screen always activated ? I don't think the battery will appreciate.
Maybe you can activate the touch screen without the display screen
but that should surely need a kernel modification if it's not "hardware" locked.
The only app i see that make something very similar is Tap Tap Tap
and it uses the proximity sensor ...
PS : I never achieved to make Tap Tap Tap work correctly each time i Tap Tap
Yes, kernel modification should be needed, the Evo 3D app PGM is a kernel module. I emailed the developer, who explained that he logically can't develop apps for devices that he hasn't got. But if it works in Evo 3D and Galaxy Nexus, it surely can be developed for One X.
His app does not seems to drain too much battery. Anyway, if it is possible to make it using 2-fingers gestures like pinch or rotate, maybe it should be possible too to only activate the screen when there is this double contact. I don't really understand about development, but had read something like S2W was not draining battery because of activation only when the 2nd button was touched.
Tap Tap is not compatible with ICS 4.0.4, can't try it...
But many comments say that it drains battery a lot, and can easily wake screen when in pocket, so it's more like an option you punctually use I think.
Well, only 10 votes, but 60% love the idea.
Would be a great feature included in future ViperX 2.0 rom

Hi,
I would like to know if there is an add or a mod who will allow to turn on and off the screen on the phone sliding a finger on the hardware button on Sense based rom (like it happen on cyanomod based rom for example).
I already tried the shake to turn screen and the proximity sensor but they aren't working well and personally I prefer the finger slider method.
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Massimiliano
There is no sense 5 rom on the hox !
Sweep to wake is supported by most kernels these days.
Ok sorry I meant Sense rom (in general) ... I wrote Sense 5 because I was trying to find something about it so I had it in my mind
I'm using Android Revolution HD 22.0 and I can't find a way to use/set the Sweep to turn on/off option ... will there probably be in other Sense rom?
Sweep to wake on/off is not a rom feature but a kernel feature.
Try another kernel, for example XM kernel. In combination with an app called trickster mod you can set different kernel options. Like sweep to wake.
Thanks, I'll try to install another Kernel
So with the new exploit for 4.4 by jcase (thanks for that by the way), I have root access and s-off. Being as my m7 is still relatively new and I'm not sick of Sense (yet), I installed the stock 4.4 m7 rom. I have no complaints except for the fact that my apps do not want to show up in the lock screen. I also can't seem to add any widgets to the home screen (not that I want to but just seems odd). Anyway, wondering if this is something that I'm just missing or if it is a flaw in the rom.
Thanks

Sense 5.5 lockscreen is different then previous versions of Sense.
You only have limited widgets that you can add to the lockscreen.
You have to swipe to the side from the top right edge of the lockscreen.
To add widgets to the homescreen, tap and hold on the homescreen, you should have a bunch of widgets that can be added.
Everything works in the rom, it's stock, as HTC made it.
Sounds like you just aren't familiar with Sense 5.5 yet.
There are guides online about the changes and differences between Sense 5 and Sense 5.5 that may help you see what has changed.
I understand that the lockscreen has changed in sense 5.5. I have been using the phone for about a month. The lockscreen just doesnt give me any option to swipe in any direction. I can add widgets to the home screen, its just the lock screen thats giving me the issue. And usually if I recall correctly, on the lock screen, there are usually some translucent arrows indicating that you can swipe to add widgets, and i dont seem to have that
Thanks
There's a setting somewhere to enable lockscreen widgets. Been a while since I flashed s new Rom so I can't remember where.

So I ended up flashing a new rom with sense 6 in it so this is not an issue anymore. Thanks anyway
Just curious as to what everyone has found to make it easier to turn off the M8 instead of reaching all the way to the top for the power button, which can be awkward. I know there is a knock at the top of the screen, but that is almost as bad as reaching for the button. Any other options/suggestions?
Screen off & lock app. Play store.

What exactly do you mean? Are you talking about turning off the screen as BigAl assumed, or are you talking about powering down the device?
use the nav bar on custom roms to change their attributes .
I use double tap on home to turn the screen off, also double tapping the notification bar works (viper rom)

Yes, just screen off/lock. I have a custom rom and they just have the swipe or tap at the top of the screen which is the same as reaching for the power button if not more difficult (tried Viper). I'm on Revolution 5 right now and really like it...just want a better way to lock the device...double tapping home sounds good. Is there a downloadable app or flashable addon compatible with Revolution?

swipe to turn off screen
I know there are many in the play store...was just wondering what other M8 owners used before I try them all
i use an app called knock lock. you set where you would double tap to turn off the screen. pretty nice add on for the gesture controls. plus no root needed. i set mine at the center

I use flar2's kernel. Includes sweep 2 sleep the bottom of the device to shut off the screen. No need to run an extra app. He also has a module you can use on stock kernel (need root though).

If you by turning off mean sleep, then:
Swipe2sleep isn't really needed in ARHD rom, as the Sense6 Toolbox allows you to customize the behaviour of the control bottons in the nav bar.
I've just setup long-press the home botton to sleep. Works fine and easier than swipe (IMO)
I use widgetsoid, create an invisible toggle button to turn the screen off which fills the bottom half of my screen so one click off without ruining my homescreen.
I use a Dot View case and close lid...does that count...

I remember as a kid, watching the Jetsons, and a "hard day at work" for George was when he had to "push teh button six times." I think we're surpassed that.

Worked on my One M8 converted to 'GPE'. But it says my phone is not compatible. I thought HTC allowed some stock Sense stuff to work on the GPE ? These stock Sense options work on GPE; Motion gestures, HTC Weather, Flip Cover, etc...
Would love this lock screen to work on my GPE too.
