Double tap on lockscreen to lock (switch off screen)

Hi Folks -
Does anyone know a way to double tap the "lockscreen" to have the phone lock (or switch off screen display).
This is a very popular/common option in Custom ROMs. But I haven't been able to locate this independently.
I've tried Nova launcher for double tap to screen off, but that doesn't work on lockscreen. None of the apps on the playstore seem to work on the lockscreen.
This is a useful feature where in one can check the notifications on the lockscreen and switch off the screen without unlocking the phone.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm using StatusbarSleep, a Xposed module for double tapping lockscreen to turn off.

Thanks so much for the reply.
Could you please provide instruction steps to install Xposed and status bar sleep module? I always get confused on whether Xposed needs to be installed through magdisk or not?
Thanks in advance.

"The Flash" has an awesome guide on how to get your phone set up. It's right here on XDA under our device. After you get magisk installed, look for the systemless Xposed module under downloads in the magisk app. Click on it and there will be a link for the Xposed apk that goes with the systemless version. Just make sure you have a backup, or factory image, or a way to recover your phone in case of a booboo. Hope this could help; there is some really nice tools & guides here on XDA under our phone's forum.

Thanks for responding.
I was thinking of setting up a dual partition with one slot rooted and the other non-rooted. So when I need to access android pay (or any other safety net app), I can just reboot and switch to the non-rooted slot. So after flashing factory img on both slots, flash magdisk+kernel of one slot and let the other not have magdisk.
Anyway, I think I would use the double tap lockscreen feature way more than I use Android pay. It also saves a lot of battery life. I'll search here for guide to install Xposed Modules? Is there anything specific for the Pixel 2 XL?

there is a magisk version of xposed that you can switch off with a reboot. just an FYI since using it is probably easier than trying to dual boot

Thank you. I already have Kernel, Magdisk etc installed. I was looking for instructions for the Xposed Module specifically and did not find a guide for that.
So basically after installing the Xposed Module from within magdisk, just installed Status bar to sleep? Is it as simple as that?
And for next month, while dirty flashing to the new factory images, can this module be uninstalled so that one is close to stock before flashing away? Thanks in advance.

the magisk module is in the mgisk manager repo. flash it, then install this xposed apk https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4337506&d=1511193653
info from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268

Or use the Nova Launcher which has an option for double tap to sleep.

I was able to uncheck the module in Xposed installer and did reboot. But this does not help with Safety net. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
I Installed XposedInstaller_3.1.4_Magisk.apk. From Magisk Manager modules installed Xposed Framework SDK 27.
Could not install StatusBarSleep from XposedInstalled since it force closed when I tried to install. So installed the module through the Xposed repository on the internet.
However if I uncheck the module in Xposed installer and uncheck Xposed framework in Magisk - and reboot. After doing this, still don't pass Safety net check.
Could you please tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thank you.

I use the Nova Launcher and double tap to sleep. But I really wanted double tap on lockscreen. This does NOT work in Nova Launcher. The double tap action only works in the launcher..

did u ever get this working or did you have to goto a custom rom?

Custom Power OFF/Reboot menu

Hi there, uh... I will directly to question
I downloaded Quick Reboot from XDA labs apps, and it has many useful options to every user who likes to flash stuffs and do anything with their phone, so, I'd like to know if is there any way to get rid of that stock power off menu and add some new options like reboot to recovery, fastboot and others WITHOUT USING THINGS THAT BREAKS SAFETYNET SUCH AS XPOSED... See attached pictures to understand better please.
Thanks in advance for any answer!

Not as far as I know. You'd need to modify the system app that's controlling that. So either you are able to get that app, decompile it, change it and recompile it without errors and get it to install... Or you use XPosed. I don't think there is a way with tools like Magisk

Like I said, if you can get that app and modify it successfully no problem. But to make sense as a Magisk module that would need to work at least on every close-to-AOSP ROM and I don't think that's possible. Maybe I'm wrong and there actually is an easier method but then I'd be surprised that I don't know if it since I would like to have that too

Android q beta 2

Anyone running Android Q beta 2 ? Can you make a comparison to Pie in terms of speed or apps that crash or hang? TIA

I have no apps crashing and no apps unable to start. Performance and battery are identical to Pie.
The Android Q is definitely a daily driver for me.
EDIT: The only single issue I have is that double-tap or lift to wake are not working.

How best to backout of the AndroidQ beta2?
Installed but Android Auto is playing up so want to go back to v8

Can't mount system partition R/W on Marlin using TWRP 3.2.3-1 once updated to AQB2 (although I did a dirty update by removing the -w erase flag from the bat file before executing.) Guess I'll try nuking everything and rebuilding from scratch to see if the partitions will mount R/W to install Magisk...

Is anyone able to set his own mp3 ringtone on this?

As you can see in this screenshot, it's working just fine. You have to install the latest Magisk canary build. TWRP won't work to do some backups, but you can flash it fine.

Been running Q2 for a few days and is a great daily driver. As soon as Nova paid was installed I have no complaints
and battery life has been excellent. Coming from the Essential phone rooted this has been a pleasant surprise. For 180.00 new
unlocked on Sprint this is a good deal. I also prefer the 16x9 screen and camera.

So, I have some weirdness going on…
I screwed up and tried to install the last P build after getting the ota beta Q update….i had issues (possibly of my own making).
Realized that trying to go back wasn’t going to work so I thought I would just reinstall the Q beta version 2, I downloaded it…all seemed well until I wanted to get to “settings”
I can pull the “curtain’ down and see a few quick access icons (wifi, Bluetooth, airplane mode…) but it won’t pull farther down (second swipe) to see other options and the “settings” gear at the top. I also don’t seem to be getting notifications, I hear them but don’t see an icon.
I also can’t get to the setting that allow me to transfer files.
Any ideas?
Edit: also can't get to my app drawer...
Edit 2: home button doesn't work either...
I got it, it must have been a bad "dirty flash", did a clean install, and all is working as expected...except,
I've got root but can't see my internal storage with ES file explorer (I can see it when using my PC) (or any other root explorer) and can't edit my build.prop (can't save it)

I did a clean flash, and had the same issue with the internal storage. It was weird though because chrome couldnt see it either, and kept failing to get permission to store files. Doing another Wipe now to try and resolve it...

Wasn't talking about hotspot specifically.... The issue with Chrome is still there, still not able to download anything, as it pops up that it needs permission, I hit continue...and nothing. It normally gives the permission request notification here, but it does not.

Right, I don't think I've tried to download anything with chrome, I want the permissions so I can edit the buildprop file.
Having just checked, I also cannot download anything using chrome, Opera doesn't seem to have a problem, though. I didn't check any other browsers

After clean flash, still having the same issue with the downloads. Going to Solidexplorer shows that the sdcard partition never created a Download folder. Chrome also is completely not working now, so definitely rolling back until it's resolved.

Enable quick wallet access Google Pay for Pixels running Android 10

Has anyone got this working? I've done everything and the new power menu appears and the Cards and Passes does show up in gestures for about 30 seconds and then disappears. When press the power button it only shows the new power menu and not the cards.
https://www.xda-developers.com/enable-quick-wallet-access-google-pay-pixel-android-10/#disqus_thread

Same issue here. I don't even get the option for cards and passes in gestures menu....

i had to reboot like three times and then the cards magically appeared. It's not something that works instantly.

Maybe do a reboot, put your code in if you have one, and then just let the phone sit for awhile.

Well the dev didn't specify in his installation instructions that you needed to be on a stock kernal. The only requirement was to be in Android 10. I've tried a few reboots and nothing.

Those are the correct modules and it should be up and running.
After reading things, they sound like scripts so that's why I suggest letting it sit for a little after you boot up. Try reinstalling the modules and try to get the option to come up for you once more.

Ok I'll try and reinstall all those modules. Yes as they are scripts it may take a few minutes to run but they don't. Not sure if the permissions should be changed or correct. The creater has another module like this for the live caption which I installed and again are scripts and run perfectly so not sure what's going on. After multiple reboots it appears in gestures and just disappears and nothing happens. See attached.

Tried reinstalling all the modules again and toggling the switch on and off and while doing it in gestures again it just disappeared. No idea what's going on. Not sure if one of my modules is conflicting with this module or not? Just strange it's kind of the same script as live caption but just does not want to play ball

Question No smses after flashing EU Miui 14 hybrid version

Grant the necessary permissions to the apps (no empty message returns).

What permissions do you mean? The ones the system asks on starting an app for the first time?

For Google messages, all permissions should be granted, 16 in green and the rest "to use the application".
At the opening of the app, define by default if necessary.
