android app for screen wakeup ?

hi there i am looking for a app through which we can wake the screen without pressing power or volume button ??
is there any app or mod for this

Do you want to light the screen when you get a message or a miss call because light flow has that option to do that.

i just want to avoid pressing power button everytime to open the screen

Would write to the blog author

You can try touch control or gravity screen app

There is also this which work with stock kernel https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=aperture.ezekeel.gladoscontrol
Edit: Nevermind, its for the galaxy nexus...
Tapalked with my iNexus 4S

Beware that touch control may freeze your touch screen. If that happens, you'll need to force reboot your phone.

Sorry for my bad English...

TouchControl works great for waking up the device by sliding your finger across the screen. It does occasionally FC for me, and I don't own the paid app, so you must start it manually with every reboot. I use a custom ROM and have it setup that I can use the volume keys to wake up phone. Also I use Power Toggles to turn off screen or you can use Screen Off and Lock app. I try avoiding pressing the power button as much as I can.

Try Auto Screen On App

instead of slide or touch just u have hover hands to sensor screen will wake up automatically with out touching the power button....
Even u can use LMT launcher to lock the screen with the slide...no need to press any hardware keys....

don't want to use power button to lock and unlock your device?

If you don't want to use power button to lock and unlock your device then you can use an app tap tap app which allows you to lock and unlock your device without touching any key just simply swipe in the air to lock and unlock your device.
It makes your device a real smartphone.
It doesn't demand high end device it just need proximity sensors to work so if you have proximity sensor then you can also enjoy this great app.
App is available in Google playstore and free
Don't forget to hit the thanks

Don't think you posted this in the right section bro. There's a themes and apps subforum for these kinda things
But thanks for sharing!

Does the app have a name?

Fingerprint-only unlock working if using lock widget with root (updated for Nougat)

--ORIGINAL POST AND TITLE--
Title: Fingerprint only unlock not working if using lock widget
I'm using the app called Power Toggles, and when I lock my phone with the toggle, it will ask for my password pattern when I try to unlock with my fingerprint. If I use the power button to lock, the fingerprint unlock works fine.
--UPDATE (Marshmallow)--
Since I rooted, I can unlock my phone using my fingerprint when locking it using the below methods. Interested to hear from others, and I can update this list. Looks like a few on Nexus 6P have had issues, but let me know if you've tested on 5x, 6P, or both.
To be added to the list, you have to be able to lock the screen using the method listed. It has to be a true lock, not a short dimming of the screen like a few widgets do.
Phone state when tested: Stock OS, systemless root, custom kernel (Franco).
- Nova launcher gestures (e.g. double-tap to turn screen off) - 5x
- Power Toggles app - 5x
--UPDATE (Nougat)--
Phone state is stock OS, systemless root, Franco kernel.
Working:
- Nova launcher gestures (e.g. double-tap to turn screen off)
- Tasker "keyevent 26" command. Using this with a custom Power Toggles tile works, but there is a noticeable delay between pushing the button and the screen turning off. The delay varies.
Not working:
- Power Toggles. The native screen-off function requires a pattern/PIN/etc. to unlock. There is a feature that allows you to create a custom tile that links to Nova's double-tap function, but there's a bug that causes the app to crash when you try adding that button.

Yup, just tested and getting the same result.

Yep noticed that within the first hour when using Screen Off app.. I used a double tap Nova gesture to trigger the app and turn the screen off but using the fingerprint reader to unlock, it asks for the PIN/Pattern anyway
very annoying

Evidently something in Android causes those apps to "force" it to the lock screen. On prior devices without the finger print scanner, using those apps would always trump any sort of screen lock timer (like if you have it set to go off, but not lock until 5 minutes later, so you would do a regular swipe to unlock).
I don't have mine yet but know that will annoy me as I use that all the time.

I've tried a variety of screen off apps and they all do the same thing you are experiencing. Looks like it will take an app update from someone who has access to one of these phones.

Is it interfering with the fingerprint auth for Android Pay? If not, it may be just what I'm looking for. I want to use Pay, but I don't want my finger to unlock the phone, and I can't seem to find any way to limit what Imprint controls.

Doesn't interfere with Android Pay.

If rooted... Setup a Tasker task that uses the Secure Settings plugin to run command 'input keyevent 26' as root. Create a widget pointing to the task. Fingerprint/Imprint then unlocks phone as expected.

I tried this but it doesn't lock the screen, it just turns it off (at least on my Nexus 6P).

Do you have "Power button instantly locks" enabled in your security settings? "Input keyevent 26" is functionally identical to pressing the power button.

You are probably correct, yes I do have that set but it appears that smart lock overrides that ?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

This has been my experience as well and it sucks because I was looking forward to never having to use the power button or put in a code with the n5x. I am hoping for this to be fixed somehow.

this one works (experimental) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iglint.android.screenlockpro&hl=en
it is paid one

MODs please delete. Posted in wrong forum.
Thank you

Works well - thanks for the spot.

An app called Gravity Screen works, can be set to screen off and lock when placed faced up on a table or a double Tap from home screen to activate short cut "persistent off"
Smart Lock Support in more settings in Gravity Lock needs to be enabled.

I suspected do not using unstock fingerprint app

Guys try this attached apk. This was made with the AutoInput Tasker plugin to emulate the power button press.

turn screen off widget?

On my m7 (I used ported m9 rom) there was a widget called screen lock that was simply turning (and locking) screen off so I did not have to inconvenience myself by pressing power button.
Now I have HTC 10 and cannot find anything like this. I even I tried few different apps from Google Play but none of them worked OK with finger print scanner.
Is this just me being blind and stupid or there is no such a widget for HTC 10?

might want to try the elemental X or elite kernels, they both have swipe2sleep. you swipe certain area of screen and it shuts down the screen
cleanslate kernel has double tap fingerprint to shut down screen

You can also remap capacitive keys to perform various functions flashing Xposed framework and GravityBox. I mapped my 'back' key to put my phone to sleep with a long press.

The 10 has double tap to sleep built in, is that not enough?
Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk

Double tap to sleep works only from locked screen? Tried double tap on free space on my home screen and nothing happens. At least on my phone. So it not enough. In fact I think it's completely useless as I would have to lock screen first then double tap to turn screen off. Or am I misunderstanding something?
I do not want to root or flash custom rom, not yet at least. I was hoping there is going to be less "invasive" way to do it.

Coming from the M9 here, they allowed you to configure the 4th button to lock the screen. The screen lock widget works for me, but the unlock was strange (don't recall how), so I stopped using it. Now I just set it for 15 second timeout and it locks itself.
One of the few things I don't like about the 10. The other is that I can't configure the "quick keys" that swipe down from the top of the screen.

I use both Nova launcher gesture, and greenify widget to turn screen off, but, you can't use fingerprint scanner to unlock, you need to unlock using pin/pattern

You can, if you are rooted and have Tasker or a similar app installed.
You just set up the Nova gesture to run the Tasker shell command (with root privileges):
Code:
input keyevent 26
I have double tap to sleep and a long press of the home button to sleep set up. I only have to use my fingerprint to wake and unlock the device.

Theres one app that can achieve this without root on stock rom. Its called Screen Lock Pro. Its the only app i found that supports smart lock on marshmallow.
What that means? On all other screen off and lock apps ive tried i had to enter my pin instead of being able to use my fingerprint to unlock. The reader was locked every time. With Screen Lock Pro and the option "Smart lock and Nexus imprint" in settings activated i can turn off my 10 with a tap on an icon (homescreen) OR by pressing and holding the home button (i replaced google now on tap with Screen Lock Pro).

Sadly its not for free, but you can try out the app and return it (refund) if you dont like it.

Sorry, forgot to mention this, you have to use the app "home launcher" and set it to launch screen lock pro. Home launcher can be set as the "help app" when you long press the home button. It replaces Google now then.

Sorry again, missed something in the name, the app is called "home button launcher". Search for it in the play store, youll find it. It has a rocket in its icon.
Once installed you have to navigate to the following menu:
Settins -> Apps -> the three dots top right -> configure apps -> standard apps -> Help and voice input -> help app
This should be set to the google app. Change it to home button launcher...when you long press the home button now it launches the app. Now just configure home button launcher with screen lock pro (remove all apps in the list except screen lock pro). Now go into settings from home button launcher and check the box "auto start mode if only one app selected". Youre good to go.
P.S. I had to translate the menus, since im on a german device, hopefully its not to far off from reality

When you read the reviews of screen lock pro it turns out it only darkens screen to maximum and then waits for time out to lock the screen, apparently it's easily visible when it's dark as backlight is still visible.
Good effort, kudos to devs but I read there is a problem when trying to unlock phone before the timeout locks the phone. Most of the times this will not be a problem but just wanted to highlight the side-effect of this solution.
I think I will live with default settings, and keep pressing power button, until I root phone / someone finds a way to do proper screen lock working with fingerprint.

How to Lock the Screen with the Fingerprint?

Hello everyone, I bought a Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite recently and I'm missing an option. I wish I could lock the screen using fingerprint. just like I use to block. Are there any ways to do that?
I thank everyone.

Nope, only for unlock and slidedown gesture

this or double tap to lock would be perfect functions

Maybe it is a lousy advice, but try Nova launcher. You can use an option to lock screen on long press of main screen button - I'm using it right now it's quite useful.
