Double tap to wake has never been on this phone, nougat or oreo, unless you run androplus kernel.

That's because it is a kernel feature rather than an OS one.
Screen video capture, not sure, never seen nor used it, but there's apps for that.

Sony used to have a built-in screen capture app but they got rid of it for some reason. Im super annoyed that theres no double tap to wake though. Thats like a step down from my Z2.

I thought id take a look through this app called privset and I noticed theres a set double tap to wake option. I wonder if it works because its current value is false. The app does require root but I know that some root apps can be used with write secure settings granted through adb on non root devices. I wonder if this could work.

Notification that

Hello everyone. Just want to ask if this possible. As you see in the photo, there is S Finder and quick connect. I can't find it on my at&t note 4. Is it possible to enable this feature?

S finder seems to just be a quick search feature and if you touch quick connect it asks to update.
I know. I need the feature to be in the notification side by side like showing in the photo. S finder and quick connect are in the notification for quick access.

Gotcha, looks like the att touch wiz version doesn't get that feature from what I dug up, so you'd want to get a tmobile version of touch wiz and use that
Well, I don't do root stuff and don't know if I need to root to do that. Thanks anyway

Why don't you just do it like this:
S Finder and Quick Connect do not appear in notification panel to be able to place them in the pull down. Both features are disabled on the AT&T version I believe.

No max, I missed it too if you look at the pictures he posted he has quick connect and s search right next to one another as buttons right above notifications not the other menu
Yeah. I saw that. But that is why I asked why he couldn't just do it in the pull downs. Still would take just 1 swipe down to get what he wants.

You are right! I stand corrected. Thanks for pointing that out.
Just click the 4 square button to expand the entire notification panel.
Then you can edit the order with the edit button looks like a pen.
Only the top ten button a will display with out expanding the panel.

To provide that permission. Just pull down your notification shade down to the quick tiles and hit the gear icon. Once in the settings menu; click the magnify glass and search for "permissions", then click the option "App Permissions". Under the "Advanced" header you will see the menu "Draw over other apps"; find the app in question under there and provide it the required permission.

Also, this app doesn't seem to fully support the N5X either. Seems like we can only really use this if you're on speaker phone and that doesn't seem like it would provide very good quality.

This works really well. Anyway to use it to imitate scrolling? It'd be great to be able to scroll up and down in apps using the sensor.
Do you know if this type of App is available for Android N?

Sayin my pixel is not compatible on playstote?
Not on O yet; can't test myself. Would this allow you to take a photo without having the Camera app open (say, stock on Pixel, or any other that might allow this)?
Might be nice to take quick snaps without actually opening the camera app or the display/viewfinder.

[Q] Screenshot to Text?

Hi!
So, on my jailbroken iPhone XS I have a genious tweak that I can click on when I take a screenshot, where it converts the text on the screenshot-text into actual text you can copy.
Anything that does this seamlessly on Android? (Running Galaxy S20 if it matters)

Plenty of 'Image to Text' apps to choose from on the Play Store

The issue with "regular" apps is that I need to do a screenshot, then open the app, find the SS and then convert to text.
Is there no way of implementing such a thing into the OneUI for example?
So another icon will pop up when I do the SS-shortcut?
Or even making a new shortcut that would "automate" this?
What about edge panel?View attachment 5047209View attachment 5047211

You'd have to ask Samsung about OneUI implementing
The way I do it is just hit the "Share" icon after taking a SS, and share it to the editing app I want to open, pretty much feels like it is part of the SS app that way

This is most likely the best way to do it by far!
Not used to Samsung, so the "share" button wasnt as obvious to me as it should be - but this works very well with Google Lens.
Thank you

No probs :good:
Yea the share feature is very handy for a lot of things, for example you can set up a shared folder on your PC, install Total Commander and the LAN plugin, connect it to the shared folder, then you can use the Share feature to copy files to the PC from the phone via WiFi, select the file > share > total commander > find the PC shared folder > done

Double Tap quickly turning off screen after tapping

When I double tap the screen it gets on but it also quickly gets off even before face unlocking the screen.
Specs :-
Android Q [10]
Rom MiUi 12 [IN-Stock]
Launcher Microsoft Launcher
Root - NO
Bootloader - NO
Try using the Double Tap app. You can adjust it's tap parameters. 2x tap on/off.
Runs flawlessly on Pie and Q.

Why? Double Tap needs no internet connection, freeware, uses almost zero battery... a perfect app. I use in in preference to my Samsung double tap option because it works better.

It's not the matter of resources, I generally prefer to use built-in options because they will be better optimised, trusted. The problem might be in proximity sensor because while making a call it automatically turns-off the screen. Intially I thought screen on sensor might be dirty but after cleaning the results are same.

I use whatever comes in handy.
You can firewall block this app if you want but it doesn't matter, in over a year it's never tried to access the internet. It doesn't even use enough battery to register usage. I don't have a screen lock so no permissions are needed, otherwise it needs to run as a System Administrator.
