Knock On / Double Tap to Wake ? - Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to add in this device?
Rom/Kernel?
Coming from a LG, I really like the phone (and need the dual sim), but I drive a lot and I it's so useful de double tap to wake/sleep

Here is what I found out so far:
The cheap Touchscreen doesn't support it apparently.
Kernel isn't possible as long as Xiaomi don't release the Kernel Source.

You can use Gravity Screen in Google Playstore and use the proximity sensor to wake it up. Tap one or double tap if you want on proximity sensor to the right of the camera to wake it up.
My settings:
Turn SCREEN ON by Proximity ON
Headphone Support ON
Notification ON
Low Priority ON
Start at Boot ON
All other is OFF

how i can double tap to wake in xiaomi redmi note 2

how?????
you can't
This seemingly small embellishment is just so darn useful it would be great if Xioami got around to incorporating it. I was using my old LG phone the other day to keep track of time while working on a dirty project, and the ability to double-tap to wake the screen with whatever portion of my fingers/knuckles which were clean at the moment was a real lifesaver. I forgot how truly useful it is, and I definitely miss it on the RN2!
try this en.miui.com/thread-125331-1-1 worked for me

Thanks, socolino, for the suggestion about the Knockr app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tecnology.angs.knockr). I've taken a look, and, of course, while this app does its best to mimic DT2W, it is pretty much a kludge. It basically just turns the screen black to simulate it being shut off, but it actually keeps the phone awake. So this means a massive hit on battery life. And there is other collateral, too, because the phone doesn't actually go to sleep. For example, the notification LED does not get activated because the phone is not actually sleeping. And supposedly the power button doesn't turn the screen on as expected (i.e. get rid of the black mask).
Anyway, thanks again for the suggestion.
this feature is disabled in kernel, unless we will have source codes or xiaomi will anable this feature, there will be no dt2w

As a workaround, I use the WakeUp Touch L Free app. With the correct settings, it wakes the screen virtually every time by double tapping the proximity sensor. I haven't noticed any battery drain using it. Here are screenshots of the WakeUp Touch settings I use. Another couple of settings that are useful to modify: long press on WakeUp Touch in Notifications & assign it High Priority; lock WakeUp Touch in Recent Apps by dragging it down.
To turn the screen off via double tap, I use the Screen Off and Lock app in conjunction with Apex Launcher's double tap gesture [Nova & other launchers also have this gesture].

Am I the only one with wake gestures issues on custom kernels?

So I've tried several versions of Radon and Agni as well as several custom roms and I can't seem to get consistent double tap 2 wake or sweep gestures. I have tried using Kernel Adiutor, Ex Kernel Manager and flar2 wake gestures app. I've verified that the gestures are enabled on each boot. Sometimes it will work but most of the time it doesn't. I checked my hardware and my kenzo has a focaltech touchscreen with a tianma panel. Any tips, help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Update: so i read on the wake gestures app forum here on xda to not have any other apps control the wake gestures. After turning them off in kernel adiutor and just using the wake gestures app everything seems to be working as intended.
Are you setting dt2w or sweep to wake on full or half? It only worked on half for mine.

Use sweep up to wake, it works consistently, doesnt' interfere with phone calls and is much less likely to accidentally wake up the phone in your pocket.
Double tap is the worst gesture imaginable.
I have them both set and even sweep is inconsistent

Recommendations for reproducing Motorola's Active Display?

My last phone before this one is the Droid Mini. So far the Z5C is infinitely better in everything (but my expectations/standards are pretty low...) except that the Active Display feature from Motorola was awesome. From a bit of Googling, there are some other apps that copy this functionality to various degrees, but maybe some of you can give more specific insight than the articles?
1.) First of all, I'm confused. This article below states that Motorola released the app on Google Play Store for the general Android population... but it doesn't come up when I search it on my Z5C. What the hell?
http://gadgetstouse.com/featured/to...lay-notifications-alerts-android-device/19901
2.) If the Moto app is not available, any opinions on the alternatives? From reading a few articles, sounds like Dynamic Notifications is my best bet. Thoughts?
I tried xposed module, but it used proximity sensor, so it is not the same thing. I also miss that feature a lot from my nexus 5x, double tap to wake is kind of replacement when phone is laying on the table. When you take it out from a pocket, pressing the button isn't such a big deal. I couldn't find any reasonable replacement so I learnt to live without it
I really don't understand why other manufacturers don't copy-cat this feature. It was without question the greatest feature of my old phone.
I tried out Dynamic Notifications, but it's weird. First, it didn't play nice with the existing lock-screen and login structure. When I had a notification, pressing the power button no longer took me to the lock screen -- instead it just turned off and locked the screen. It's as if Dynamic Notifications became a second lock screen, and the power button toggled it on/off, and I had to tap the home key to get to the actual lock screen. On top of that, after getting to the actual lock screen it seemed to somehow screw up the fingerprint login because I kept getting prompted to use my other login method (PIN in my case). Most weird of all, it had some crazy bug when I used Uber. I was trying to check where the Uber car was on the map, and it threw me to the Dynamic Notifications screen, with the Uber notification showing. I logged in again, pulled up Uber again, checked the location of the Uber on the map, and it instantly did it again! And again... So screwed up.
TL;DR: Do not use this app, at least not on this phone. It's buggy and/or just makes you jump through extra hoops when logging in.
Yeah I also have double tap enabled. It's okay I guess.
Nexus 5x had a dedicated hardware sensors for that matter, I guess that may be the problem. Anyway I agree with you that every manufacturer should implement it.
I would try AcDisplay for the lock screen and if you want raise to wake, try Gravity Screen . Be warned though, Gravity Screen is kind of glitchy with the fingerprint sensor, so I would just use AcDisplay. ^_^

So I finally got around to trying out AcDisplay. That video that is on the app download page shows how you can wake up the phone using proximity sensors, when pulling it out of your pocket or even waving your hand over it... But none of this works at all. Not even a little bit. Does that mean that the Z5C does not have any proximity sensors built into it?

Double tap to wake

Does Mate 10 has the double tap to wake feature?
No and i haven't found a non-root solution for it either.
Wow that's such a shame... The mix and matching of features across these Huawei devices is becoming really frustrating. There's no reason why only the Chinese version of the Mate 9 had this feature.
I don't think you really need a double tap to wake. A simple touch of the fingerprint sensor wakes the phone quickly.
Exactly, that fingerprint scanner is ridiculously fast!
i need double tap to sleep

plenty of 3rd party apps on playstore. No root needed.

For the 10 Pro, that functionality is useful. It's just weird some of the choices made for an otherwise great phone. It's unfortunate.

Copyright issues with LG. But there are 3rd party apps for Samsung that put an icon on Always on display and you just double tap on that icon to wake. I guess its not different to Samsung having a home key always turned on even when screen off. So Huawei should as well implement something similar to have icon on the Always on display and click or hold or whatever is best gesture on that to turn on the screen.
End of the day its still a two step process in the least over the single step process of front fingerprint sensor. The small bezels means no way a front fingerprint could fit there and so there needs to be a long term solution. LG type reliable face unlock feature would help in many scenarios as well and its comparatively easier to partially lift and look at the phone from a desk then double tap and scribble the password.
There is also Huawei's strong security measures to overcome. My current Huawei does not allow using anything other than a pin password for unlock when you have the fingerprint activated. So thats four extra screen taps compared to the Pattern type password (which cannot be used when fingerprint activated).

What app that works with fingerprint without pin
Enviado desde mi ALP-L09 mediante Tapatalk
my ex oneplus 3t has this feature. how only lg has it?
Surely it's obvious this would be useful when the phone is laying on a desk/table (on its back) when the fingerprint sensor is not accessible? Double-tap to wake would be awesome on this device. Just got it, and it's my only (at this stage) gripe.
Same here
I hope some update fix this

[QUESTION(General ROMs)] How To Disable (or Edit) Fingerprint Gestures in Custom ROMs

So as all you may know, most of the new custom ROMs come with fingerprint navigation gestures, which sometimes don't make sense because the soft keys are already enabled.
Sometimes this is annoying because we touch the fingerprint sensor accidentally, or want to set up another gestures, like turning screen off by long-pressing the sensor.
I noticed this annoying thing on LineageOS, Pixel Experience, AOKP and RessurectionRemix.
So how can we set another gestures? If it's by generic.kl (which i tried unsuccesfully), what do we have to do?
Is there an app that can control it?
Thank you all
