[DIY] Knock-Off on any Non-Stock ROM - G2 General

Just some info for everyone that is wondering, not sure if this has been covered yet, I looked and it seems that it hasn't been mentioned.
This is a very easy way to get customized knock-off (double-tap to turn off screen) working on any non-stock ROM where knock-off might not be included.
1. Download GMD Gesture Control from the market. You should probably use the paid version since the free version doesn't support custom gestures. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodmooddroid.gesturecontrol&hl=en
2. Download the Screen Off app (free). https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=en
3. Open up GMD and turn off any gestures you don't want that are included with the app.
4. Click on User Gestures up top, and then click path.
5. Under "Gesture Path", type in "T-T"
6. Click under action, select "application" and select "Screen Off" (the one that you just downloaded).
7. Click "Save" at the bottom, and bam. Double-tap goes to screen off.
**NOTE** I changed the starting zone (in the Create Gesture window) to only recognize double-taps on my status bar region, because often I would shut my screen off without meaning to.
Sorry, if this is a repost, I just spent a long hour pulling my hair out trying to get this to work with Nova launcher (wanted my double-tap to work anywhere in my ROM), and was super stoked when I figured this out.

Great idea I wonder why I haven't thought about this before

Thank you. I tried to spread the word on this method when CM was first released for the G2. My only difference is I use Secure Settings
Edit: just realized you missed another obvious bit
If you use Nova or Apex you can set a double tap gesture to turn off the screen the same way. Suddenly you have the same functionality as LG included

Ah good idea. Then you can have an easier time turning the screen off when you're in your launcher. Good stuff.

How can you do the screen off? I stopped using Nova because I could no longer turn off the screen, there is no turn screen of under gesture settings.

Hi,
It works with Nova, you need to double-tap in the notification bar area (but only here), nothing to set in Nova it works just like that...

How about screen on?

You are correct, there isn't a screen off option. However, you can set the double tap gesture to open a SHORTCUT that will turn the screen off.
I'm assuming the app OP linked to allows you to set a shortcut for screen off. If not, Secure Settings for sure does (it's what I use).
Here's proof that it works
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvesNzvgKDQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player
That video uses OP's GMD Gesture control trick and Nova Launcher's double tap gesture. Only difference is I'm using secure settings instead of the screen off app

Ok, for those who want to use screen off with Nova or CM do this.
Download this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=en
in Nova Settings go to gesture and Buttons/ Double tap/ and select Screen off, Simple as that. GL

[Apex] Vote for doubletap to turn screen off

Hey Guys,
I'm on the CM Nightly 10-23-2013 and i missed the feature to turn off Screen with double Tap. I am a big Fan of the Apexlauncher, so i googled and somebody already did a request to implement a feature to turn of screen with a double tap.
Would be nice if some of you who use Apex too, would chime in and vote for that Feature

http://apexlauncher.uservoice.com/f...estions/4396595-double-tap-to-turn-off-screen
I have used Apex for years and love it. Check under "Behavior settings". Under "Gestures" is Double tap desktop. Assign the app Screen off and lock to it. Now you have tap to sleep or knock off. It works flawlessly and may be even better than the stock LG implementation. Works with Nova also.
I'am currently using this solution, but i'am a fan of native solutions which doesn't require a third party app

Yup - its built into the Kernel that's why knock on still works.
While I think it would be a very good option to provide, I currently use double tap to open my app drawer. I also don't use Apex any more. I've converted to Action Launcher, Aviate, and Nova Prime.
Just providing some input though. Apex was my favorite launcher at one time. I moved away because there was a period when it started getting really laggy and buggy. Once I got comfortable with Nova I just never went back.

So then you know nova has the double tap off gesture as well
i want this implemented in apex too. been wanting it since day one. but for now i'm happy with using Lock Screen app and triggering the action with a double tap.

Yes as I said, I use that feature. Works like a champ.
you can already do that, install this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock
Then go into apex settings and set gestures, double tap, and set it to lunch the app.
Problem solved
Or if you have Greenify, which is one of my default apps. You can do double tap hibernate + lockscreen.
just install any "lock screen" app and assign it for doubletap gesture

Lock the screen using Knock-On without going to homescreen

Like most of you G2 users I went to the homescreen first to lock the screen (when I didn't want to use the back button).
Recently I discovered that it is possible to use the double-tap feature without going tot the homescreen, in order to do this you must double-tap on the notification bar (in other words, it doesn't work if the app runs full screen).
I tried this with different apps like Chrome, Quickremote, YouTube and Maps and it works with them all.
Let me know if this worked with your G2, I am very curious whether it works with all G2's or not. :good:

You can use knock off with any launcher that supports gestures. I use Nova Prime and downloaded a screen off app, then set it to activate upon double tapping the homescreen. And you can still double tap the statusbar from any screen.
You can force notification to show when the app is full screen
Just slide down. First slide down show notif bar, Second slide is show whole notif.
So you can knock off every time.

It sounds like the CM maintainers are working on it, but I set up one of my Quick Launch shortcuts to do "Screen Off", and it's really easy to use that way. I like it a lot better than having it in the notification drawer tiles or on the quick pulldown tiles. Pretty much no matter what screen you're on, you can swipe up from the bottom QUick Launch icon to instantly lock the phone. I do it one-handed all the time. Being right-handed, it's easiest to set it to the left-hand icon position so you can swipe away with just your thumb.
For CM 10.2 users, it's in: Settings > Interface > Quick Launch Shortcuts, then swipe to the desired location and choose to bind the "Screen Off" command. :good:

Oh, good to know. I've been using Nova Launcher Prime on top of whatever I've flashed on. Right now, I'm using Carbon + Nova. In Nova, you can still set up gestures with an app, so I use Screen Off and Lock from the Play Store. This way, I can flash between different ROMs and not worry about having knock off unavailable.

Knock off works on any rom now with an xposed module. Been using it on ose rom and it works great
the definition of open: “mkdir android ; cd android ; repo init -u git:// android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git ; repo sync ; make" gansta mic drop

Quick tip for rom users

If you cant stand that knock off is gone on your custom rom that you have happily flashed on your g2... ive noticed alot of people asking so here is a few solutions if you already dont have one! Got a better way? Suggest it! Will edit if necessary.
1. If you dont use google now from your home button swiping up... download the app in the link below!
{FOR CYANOGENMOD USERS} Your rom already comes with a toggle for this... accessible from SETTINGS>>INTERFACE>>QUICK LAUNCH SHORTCUTS... obviously slide up and set it as "Screen off" towards the bottom of the list.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=en <<
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you have that downloaded you can now swipe up like you would normally access google now... it will now give you the option to set a default for the screen off application, do it and now you can swipe up from anywhere on your device (Even the lockscreen) to turn off your screen without having to touch the buttons on the back! (Now i noticed when i was running an AOKP rom this didnt work every time as due to the fact every time it would shut off it would turn right back on... if thats the case for you try out option 2!
2. [YOU WILL NEED THE SAME APPLICATION AS IN OPTION 1] This is a simple bit, but your rom might not have this capability... if you go to your navbar settings you should be able to enable long press actions for buttons... select any button you'd like and set the long press for the application you have downloaded!
3. [YOU WILL NEED THE SAME APPLICATION AS IN OPTION 1] And lastly your third option... this should be if neither option 1 nor 2 work for your custom rom which they should... This one however is not easily accesible from any screen on your device only your home screen... first things first download that application above, now you download a launcher such as Apex launcher which i would reccomend because it allows this without paying for the full version and i tend to like apex alot better, from there go straight into your apex settings and go to behaviour... check out those gestures and set that application as your gesture! Nova launcher's is pretty self explanitory if you have prime. after that your good to go! Easy accesable screen off techniques you cant live without on the g2, hope this helps some of you!
I have another idea. Use GMD gesture control and use the edge of your screen to turn off the phone, or even double tap the nav bar (the app is ridiculously useful)
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
Another option for CM Roms is to use the app below which gives you the option to Knock Off from anywhere on the entire home screen when using Apex or Nova and then have a double tap set or any other gesture you like up to execute this app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cillinsoft.scrnoff
thanks alot. due to that reason so many people dont want to jump custom rom as like me
GMD Gesture Control - > define 3 finger swipe down gesture anywhere to turn screen off. There you go, most comfortable solution.

My main reason for loving Knockon (and not jumping to any rom) is the wake up feature though. This is the first time that I have an android device where I don't rape the power button just to look at how pretty my lockscreen or launcher is.

Pixel or google now launcher

Hello, has anyone tried any other launchers yet? I'd prefer one with the google now cards.
I assume the pixel or google launcher will work well??
Let me know whatyou have tried
I use the Google Now launcher. It's in the store. Been using it on my last few phones and love it.
Just installed it. Works great (so far). I copied my Nexus 5X over to set up the v30 and installing the launcher restored all my previous icons and screens that were hidden by the LG launcher.
i used the google now launcher but the icons are too big.
downloaded the Nova launcher with Google Companion - much better. smooth, fast, and looks great. plus it has the pixel style app drawer (scrolling up)

I am currently using Nova Launcher on my Moto X Pure, but I couldn't find "Google Companion" in the play store. Am I missing something?
I can't wait to buy my unlocked v30 on (hopefully) October 27!
http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...lly-gets-google-now-integration-apk-download/
or google "google companion nova"
I use Nova prime and it's amazing truly. But I've used it on all my last phones. The v30 clearly runs it the best but still truly liked go launcher years ago until they got way into money grabbing for features.
I'm using the modified compatible pixel launcher. I also have Nova prime but I'm liking this so far. Works great!! https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.xda-developers.com/pixel-launcher-2-android-oreo-download/amp/

Under Nova Settings. Gestures & Inputs, Double Tap - Choose Screen Lock. To set that gesture to work with the finger print scanner you have to set it as a preference. If you are not prompted when you set it up go Settings Advanced - Screen Lock Method, Choose 5 second option.
There is a slight delay if you double tap and want to turn the screen back on with the finger print scanner. (Pressing the power button twice will get the phone on and unlocked in this case if 5 seconds has not gone by.) But overall it's a workable compromise for me.
I am using the beta version of Nova in case this is a beta item...
Take Care!!

If the finger print scanner is not working on unlock from the AOD, then open Nova Settings. Go to Advanced, Screen Lock Method. Make sure you have Timeout selected. Then when you double tap the screen will go black for 5 seconds, then the AOD will come on and you should be able to unlock it with the scanner. If you ever want to unlock it quicker, press the power button once to turn off, then unlock with the scanner.. Usually for me the 5 seconds is not an issue.
If you can't live with the 5 second delay, then you will have to use another launcher. I don't know if Action Launcher or Lawnchair suffer the same issues.

On Nova, for some reason if you set it to actually lock the screen and not go blank for the 5 seconds, it will make you enter the actual password. I tried it and it wouldn't accept the fingerprint. Kinda weird.

That is odd, my 1 minute timeout works with no issues.
Action launcher did remove the double tap to turn the screen off unfortunately, they said google wanted it removed for some reason.

Issue: Launchers when active disables the Double Tap feature to turn off the screen.

Issue: Launchers when active disables the Double Tap feature to turn off the screen.
I like to use Nova Launcher for several reasons. However with the new LG V30, when Nova Launcher is active the Double Tap to turn off the screen fails to work. Double Tap to turn it back on works fine, as does the Double Tap from the Lock Screen works for both screen on and off.
Is this a known issue with launchers, or is it an LG V30 issue?
I've not had a phone with the feature for Double Tap screen off/on before, so I have no idea if it's to be expected and find nothing posted about this either.

Nova has its own homescreen shortcut for switching off the screen: Widgets -> Nova Action -> activate lockscreen. Of course Nova needs the permission for that.

A pretty substance free coment: What was your actual expectation?
Since that shortcut switched off the screen on every Android phone I had so far as long as Nova has the required administrator permissions set. So I see no need to avoid it.

There are two modes, one of which locks the phone, after which the fingerprint unlock doesn't work, you have to enter your code to unlock the phone. The other one doesn't lock the phone at all, it just turns off the screen, and the AOD doesn't show up untill the phone actually times out and locks on its own (it says after 5 seconds, but it's actually 30 seconds for me).
I would agree. The present implementation of Nova Launcher doesn't really follow function or form with the V30's own lockup function. It doesn't really lock the phone up. It just darkens the screen... not secure it.
What I really would like for Nova Launcher to do is to enable the user to use the whole screen to implement the knock code to lock the screen up. I think the reason we can use the notification area alone, is that this is part of the V30's own infrastructure layout, and not a Nova Launcher area.

Yes that always works with Nova.
And if you configure this option, it will also work anywhere on the screen.

Yes but as other posters have said, it doesn't actually lock the phone - it just turns the display black and only locks after the display time out (60seconds in my case). It doesn't turn off the touchscreen, it just blanks it.
If you are rooted nova can lock the screen just as lg launcher does.
