Hi,
I like the new gestures feature, but I dont need all of the swiping and it just turns on my screen by itself when it's my pocket. I'd really like to keep double tap to wake though as its very useful.
is there any way to disable the rest of the gestures while keeping double tap to wake? I'm rooted if that helps.
thanks.

You could try this then set it up for none

Gestures do not work when its in your pocket unless there is light in your pocket. Proximity has to see light to enable gestures, not to mention needing motion to wake up gestures. Other than that, you can flash one of the high end roms as they give you full gesture selection and you can change and disable specific ones.

Well, no idea about that, but it's not uncommon for me to take it out of my pocket and find the screen on. Happens rarely yes, but it does happen.
Is there any particular ROM you can recommend? I value battery life above all else.
Thank you!
You could try ElementalX 0.11 or 0.12?

ViperOne M8 allows full control of all gestures.

Sorry that I am replying to an old thread, but I've noticed that my recently acquired One M8 is somewhat random responding to DT2W and the post by an0ther seems relevant.
The gestures do respond better in light conditions, however I've found that lightly pressing the top of the phone, in the proximity detector area, between thumb and forefinger and then immediately doing DT2W the phone wakes up even in the dark. Is this just my phone or possibly a general characteristic?
I have the ElementalX kernel installed. Also I have a One M7 with ElementalX and the gestures always work day or night.
Any ideas why the One M8 should respond in this way?
Hi,
Is there any way/app to use fingerprint sensor as a shortcut launcher?
For example, double press fingerprint to launch camera....etc
Thanks,

That would be interesting, but you do know double pressing the power button is the camera shortcut

I do know that but power button is a lot harder to press than fingerprint sensor....
Don't you feel that?
cool idea but would probably cause a lot of unintended triggering

This would be awesome. Huawei is doing something like this, I believe, a swipe down on the fingerprint reader will bring down notification. I like the idea of a double tap or swipe to launch camera. or any shortcut. You could even get advance with it and do tap patterns for multiple shortcuts.
I could see devs interested in this being a feature in their Roms. I do not believe false reads will be an issue for a scan of the finger should still be required. Randomly touching the sensor with your skin should not activate it.
Fingerprint has so much potential for many uses but so far I feel the big sensor is wasting a lot of space on our phone and only thing it does is unlock.
I have wear so if Google allows smart unlock to skip lock screen, I don't even use fingerprint sensor at all.
It'd be really cool if they let you use it as a mini-trackpad. Imagine scrolling up and down a page without touching the screen.

This is even more interesting.
The funny thing is those sensors allow that kind of feature, they call it navigation mode.
However it appears that this mode is not enabled.
Hello,
Double tap to wake is enabled in motion gestures but it's not working for me.
I'm on Viper 10 3.2.0
with elementalx 0.22
and pnp and thermals tweaks
Can someone help me please ?
Thanks
Try changing the lock screen to HTC lockscreen. As I read in that rom thread that it only works for that lockscreen. I dont know if they meant for that lock screen on stock rom or viper. Report back and let us know!
It only works on the stock HTC lock screen. And only when the phone is landscape

Hello,
Thanks for your answers.
That's strange, I already use the HTC Lockscreen. When I wake up the phone using the power button and see the lockscreen, double tap let me put it in sleep mode.
Double tap to sleep is working but not Double tap to Wake...

Recalibrate gravity sensor. That might help. Also you need to be holding the phone in portrait mode for it to work. It also generally needs a bit more forceful tap to wake.
I agree that the tap has to be a little more forceful than what you would regularly do. My phone is completely stock and it works to wake or sleep while it is laying in the table ir I have it in my hands. I don't have to hold it any special way for it to work.

Don't you have to use the pull motion to activate the double tap to wake.
Eg: pick up phone, double tap, screen comes on.

Hi Mew,
I'm having the same issue with my brand new HTC 10 that just came in today. Or the opposite? I can Double Tap to Wake but not Sleep.
Why does DT to Sleep ONLY work on the lockscreen? Did you ever get this figured out??
Please let me know.
Thanks.
If you are having difficulty reaching power button to put phone to sleep, you can remap the Bixby button to do so.
Its pretty easy.
You should be on at least XXXXASBA firmware.
Add a quick command in Bixby at Advanced Feature.
Command "Turn off Display".
In bixby remap optipn, select single press and assign the command.
The only drawback is it takes a sec to turn the screen off.
Still, sometimes it better than reaching that Monster's button on top. Enjoy!!
Ah thanks mate, you're a genius. If only they had double tap to lock on the stock launcher

You do have it in launchers like Nova. Couldn't find anything special about OneUi launcher so it took me 0.0001s to make wise decision
Also been using Nova double tap to lock...

You can create a shortcut to lock the screen instead using the same Quick command. Just go to quick command. Select the gear icon next to the command and create the shortcut by selecting Add shortcut to home screen. At least you now get an alternative to double tap on screen.
Double tap to lock screen might also be possible if you use Tasker (I am not sure but I can give it a try)
Thanks, I'm using this now ?
Thanks, this is actually pretty smart.
But I feel like its more for lefties. Still have to reach when holding it in my right hand, so basically makes no difference reaching bixby button or the power button.
If you have "difficulties" reaching the power button... Then you have serious anatomical issues and the phone sl button a is the least of your worries...
Just grab Good Lock, install NavStar and add the screen off button to your navigation bar.
Here's how I have mine set up...
you can use One Hand Gesture+ as well, and set one of the gesture handles to turn off the screen. Simply swipe from either side that you like (similar to how you open Apps Edge) to turn off the screen

GoodLock is not globally available. NiceLock is an alternative though.
I hate Tap to wake on Pixel and wanted to check if there is any Magisk Module or any other way to get Double Tap to Wake/unlock instead. Is there any way we can get that? I am rooted as well.
Try the app DTSO in the Google Play Store, no root required.

I am looking to double tap to wake/unlock when device is asleep. We can't add widgets there, correct. You might be talking about double tap to lock.
Custom kernel
Isn't there double tap to wake already? It's called "tap to check phone" in the lockscreen settings
Unless I'm confused by your question...
He doesn't want a single tap, he wants a double tap to wake. Sounds like a reasonable request to avoid accidental wakes

This app/widget works on other devices for screen on & off, but, on this phone, only the double tap to sleep function is working. (Tested this w/the phone's native single tap function turned off).
I'm going to try some other apps later this evening, see if I can get one to work w/the lockscreen.

Nova Launcher!
+1 Nova Prime...root needed for double tap.
How do you use Nova to do double tap to wake? I make it double tap to sleep.
Nova Launcher doesn't have a Double tap to wake and it also doesn't work with gestures.

Nova works perfectly fine with gestures now! It may not be as smooth as the Pixel launcher but it's good enough!
