[Q] KnockOn with Nova Launcher?

All,
I just installed Nova Launcher and noticed I can double knock to wake the screen to get in, but it seems like I have lost the ability to double knock to put the device to sleep. I have to double tap the top navigation bar to do so.
Anyone have this same issue?
Thanks!

I don't use the Nova launcher but I've got the double tap to wake from a kernel.
I can't double tap to sleep from anywhere, I need to be in lockscreen for that to work. Think of one playing flappy bird...

It's a different launcher, so its wont have the stuff LG put into their launcher by default. You can set the double tap action in nova launcher by going to the nova settings > gestures > double tap
I dont think there is a native way to link the action to locking the screen, but you might be able to bind it to an app that will lock the screen.

you can make nova double tap status bar to lock screen. thats what most people have done.
I myself havent moved off the stock launcher yet, it is nice.

There's a simple solution to this. Download 'Screen off' from the play store and then set double tap on Nova's gesture settings to open 'screen off'
Et voila

The G3 TweaksBox has the option to add knock to the lower navbar as well.

Similarly I use "Soft Lock Screen" app which does the trick smoothly in Nova; install it and assign to double tap nova action, that's it!

Knock to Lock

Hey guys, loving this phone so far. Was wondering if there was an alternative to the double tap to lock feature if not using the stock lg g3 launcher. I am too accustomed to using nova and that is the only thing i can't get it to do anymore. ( I also like how i can use the "ok google" hotword from any screen while using nova) I can still use knock code and the double tap to turn on the screen, but i cant do it to lock the phone. Any suggestions? I have seen apps were i can tap the icon to lock and what not, just wondering if there is anything like the official lg feature where you can tap any open area on the home screen to lock the device. thanks!

If you stick to the stock launcher, a double tap locks the screen. Don't know any other launchers with that feature yet...
Edit: I got it to work in apex. Changed the behavior of a gesture and tired it to shortcuts--> activities--> soft lock
(Soft Lock) is an app I downloaded from the play store to test this.
I set it to double finger swipe up but you can set it to double tap too.
Good luck!

[Q] Nova ui, how to double tap screen off?

I like the stock ui feature of turning the screen off by double tapping. Does anyone know how to enable this feature under99th the nova ui, or a similar ui that has this feature..

I'm using Nova, and the double tap works by tapping on the Status Bar.

Install the following app and configure the double tap in nova gesture to open it.

I made double tap activate my greenify+lock screen as an alternative

This works great thx

News:
Now Nova (prime of course) offers the knock off feature without any other app needed.
Look on gestures!

I'm trying this functionality.
I've smart lock with my smartwatch and I double tap to let the screen off when I double tap to turn it on it will ask me for pin.
Instead if I wait for time to screen off, when I double tap to let the screen on smart lock works.
Strange, I will write this to Nova...

[Q] Lock G4 from the screen?

I frequently do things on my phone while it's lying on it's back on a table, rendering the lock button and volume buttons on the back useless. Is there a way to add a lock button to the home touch buttons or notification panel?

If you're using the default launcher, double tap on the screen to lock.
If you're using another launcher, such as Nova, double tap the notification bar at the top of the screen.
You can also use Tasker to create a lock shortcut action and icon.
And if you have Tasker AND Nova, you can assign a double tap gesture on the launcher to start the shortcut action.

If you're using a third party launcher that supports gestures, you can use this app:

This all is also really handy:

Double tap the notification panel without expanding it and it will lock or a blank spot on the home screens/lock screen.

I use greenify, if you swipe up it gives you the option for Google now or hibernate+lock screen, its nice because my fingers are usually right at the home buttom
