Double tap?
Gcam needs RAW support by the camera driver.
My SODP based ROMs support it.
(And GCAM needs GAPPS)
be aware that the camera is work in progress there, if you rely on it, I would wait with unlocking the phone until it's okay.

Sry I mean double tap to wake.
Sad that GCAM don't work. I'll wait a bit before I unlock because it's a company phone and I don't want to say to my boss "sry I've bricked my new phone"

If I remember correctly only the XZ3 has it, because the battery drain is too high on a non OLED display. (Black color takes non power on OLED screens, while other colors taking more power than a LCD screen)
But maybe somewhere is a mod, which requires root (unlocking mandatory again hihi)
You're allowed to unlock a company phone and maybe kill the warranty? [emoji14]

It's a small company so it's not a problem, except if the phone is bricked

Very cool!
Make sure you updated to the newest PIE firmware before unlocking
Sony tends to remove the DRM more with each new OS version.
Maybe you want to wait for the Q update, before you unlock.

At the moment, there is not, but maybe in the future the P6 will support this action.

I just saw this yesterday on xda news. Requires kitkat tho.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/forget-about-notification-leds-with-acdisplay-app/
It might be what you're looking for. However, I have never tried it and I don't know if it will work for huawei p6. I'm not sure if it works with double tapping screen... but I assume that it should since it is imitating the moto x lockscreen.
EDIT: On google play now. No need for root I think.

The Active notification feature requires AMOLED screen for best performance, while Huawei devices don't use AMOLED screen. And its not the same as LG's tap to wake feature, which is compatible with our device.
Right

Always on display to ONEPLUS 5T

Hi devalopers any one is there to devalop always on display to ONEPLUS 5T in open beta program
Out of context, how to keep the AOD always on like Samsung phones?
Download Glance Plus, pay version allows always on. That what I use. Or Always on Amoled Beta... although last update stopped working and the developer warned about it.

Smart Lock menu

Hi guys,
is there a way to get into the Google smart lock settings manually?
Unfortunately you will only see this menu by pairing a new bluetooth device, then you will get a popup regarding the smart lock settings.
This has been discussed a lot in the xiaomi forum, xiaomi just removed the frontend from all of their roms.
I tried a few apps like Smart Lock Launcher and Quick Shortcut Maker, but they do not work.
The build in feature in the lockscreen settings is only working for xiaomi devices.
Any solution?
No idea?
You're talking about MIUI? For the relatively short period that I used it, it looked to me as if Xiaomi had completely replaced the Android code with their own version that only worked with Xiaomi devices. I never found a way around it. It's one of the many reasons why I only lasted a couple of weeks on MIUI.
same
Likewise, seems Xiaomi only allows their own devices to be able to smart unlock the phone.
Google smartlock seems to be disabled.
I also don't get google map notifications on my lock screen.
Will be my last xiaomi device unless they fix this soon

Just switch to a different rom. Mine works spectacularly well on PE.

Don't really know enough to do that - plus I hate having to tinker with things. Wish I went with the One Plus...only issue I had on my One Plus 5T was the issues with the sound recording on third party apps
On MIUI EU I found that if you pair a bluetooth device it gives you the option to enable smart lock for it then you can press back and setup smart lock for onbody / location however smart lock doesn't work.
Even when connected to the bluetooth device / at home etc it still wants a pin if you just try and swipe up.
Pretty disappointing

Yeah, if I'd bought this and was stuck on MIUI, I'd be pretty unhappy. Have you tried it with one of the supported Xiaomi headset devices?

That's what makes me leave miui every time, you can install smart unlock from play store, everything looks like it's going to work but it doesn't.

It's like night & day being back on stock Android. As soon as I started using the PE rom I was overcome with an immense sense of relief, I'd been starting to wonder if I'd made a very expensive mistake by buying the MM3.

[No root] Finally, an app to enable native Lift To Wake (lockscreen)

OnePlus Lift To Wake
TL, DR. Where is the download?
github.com/xubowenhaoren/OPLiftToWake/releases
What does it do?
This is a simple app to enable Lift To Wake for OnePlus 7 series.
It is not the Lift To "Ambient Display" in the stock Settings App; it enables the true Lift To "Lock Screen" like other phones.
Why do I want this feature?
You've probably already known that OnePlus, in Android 10, reveals the notification content on the lock screen after Face Unlock.
But to see those notifications, you either need to:
1. Pick up the phone and unlock with your finger at the Ambient Display. A two-step process.
2. Pick up the phone and press the power button. Again, a two-step process.
Now with the app, you can pick up the phone and the lock screen immediately shows up.
How does it do this?
It listens to the native system sensor (`oneplus.sensor.pickup`). In my testing, it is very power efficient.
What phones does it support?
I have tested this on a OnePlus 7T with Android 10. It should also work with other OnePlus 7 series.
Note that for earlier OnePlus phones, there is also a [pickup sensor] but with a different name.
If you want this app to work with earlier OnePlus phones, you should try replacing this line in `Utils.java` with the correct sensor name:
```
mSensor = Utils.getSensor(context, mSensorManager, "oneplus.sensor.pickup");
```
How do I use it?
You probably want to turn off the Ambient Display first.
After installing the app, turn on the "Lift To Wake" toggle.
You should also consider turning off the battery optimization of the app for a more consistent background performance.
Do I need Magisk for this?
No, it is root-free.
Credits
Much of the code is from the Lineage OS team.
Other code references can be found in the code comments.
This is brilliant!! Appears to be working great... Will provide an update on power efficiency in a while
How do I install
Works great on OP7 pro ?.

Works so well with face unlock auto unlock and PIXEL AOD mod.
is there any way to make the screen lit up time response a bit faster ?

I am afraid no. That's determined by the system sensor.

Ahh. Good work tho
This works great. Any way to get it to run automatically after a reboot? I have to enable after every reboot.
Thanks, again!

I've made efforts to enable this service after reboot. It wasn't successful, however. Oxygen OS has a strict whitelist of apps that may start automatically after a reboot. One way to work around this is to use Accessibility Service, but that could cause more battery drain. Lol, I think it's better to leave things this way.
Very useful app, this was my most demanding functionality after bought OP7T
Thank You For this
Can u add to the store please?
Nice app. Thnks
It works great for op7t, but doesn't work for Op7.
On op7, the screen lights up, but faceunlock is not available.
You need to click on faceicon first to work (screens in atach).
But, if you unlock op7 via the power button (second screen in atach) - faceunlcok works great!
Is there any solutions for op7?
Works as it should! But screen wakes a lot while inside the pocket.
Very useful mod, thx for that
Only issue that it doesn't work anymore after some hours,i need to start the app again to get it working again for a few hours. I already have disabled battery optimisation. Any ideas to fix this?
Regards ysco..
Hello, how can i make it work on Oneplus 8?
This app is great, something I've been looking for a while. But, it doesn't work consistently. It stops after a few hours after I enable it. Then I have to open the app and then it will 'realize' the switch is still on and start working again. Is there a solution for this?
Thanks bud!! It works like a charm!!
Looks really helpful.
Works good also.
Thanks.

Question Can you guys help me pick a stock android 12 rom to flash?

My Poco f3 is my daily driver and I can't test lots of rooms rn and I was wondering if you guys tested different roms and would be so kind as to recommend a rom. My most important feature is to be able to unlock just by fingerprint touch or press (as in without the need to double tap/wake up the screen first). Also a totally black (not gray) dark mode is important
Thank you in advance

What you search in it? Beside the features that you indicate. More raw aosp? More customization?

Yeah features and customization without diminishing stability or battery life
I use Evolution X but it's Android 13.
It has a Black Mode and lots of customization. It's a Pixel ROM so it also has Pixel-exclusive system apps and features. I can recommend it It also receives frequent updates and has a big community on Telegram.
The question is, do you want a simple AOSP ROM or a Pixel ROM with more features and customization.

Yeah more features and customization as long as its stable and has a good battery life. I kind of disregarded A13 bc I assumed it won't be perfected yet but I'll check it out now. Can you unlock from a black screen just by taping the fingerprint scanner?

Try crdroid. One of the most stable roms for our device. And it has plenty of customization

Yes, this is the default behaviour when having set-up a Fingerprint.
Doesn't every ROM do this by default? I think even MIUI. You can also configure to only scan for Fingerprint when Screen on, on Evolution-X too.

Probably yeah. its just that the last few roms I tested on my last device you had to turn screen on first. possibly bc they were early releases and scanner was under display but I gave up on stock android ever since mainly bc of that so I'm sure
