Double tap to wake screen - Sony Xperia XA Ultra Questions & Answers

Hey guys. Is there anyway to enable this feature with or without root? I tried some apps from store to use sensors but the battery drains like hell.

Hi, it's a kernel feature and I don't know if we can enable the feature easily.

[MOD] Screen Tweaks

Requires Xposed Framework!
Hey guys,
this is the first project I'm sharing on here, so be gentle
After stumbling across the Xposed framework one or two ideas came to mind and I made a module out of them:
Hide the "Swipe to unlock" text from the lock screen on my Xperia Z1c
Enable the CRT off animation
Prevent the screen from turning on when unplugged from the charger
The first two things work nicely on my Xperia Z1c, the third however I could not get to work.
APK and source for the first version are attached.
I don't know if this is of much use for anyone else, but I would be glad if someone could help with the third option.
Update v2:
The third option works now, the new version 2 is attached.
If activated, the screen will not turn on when connected to (or disconnected from) either charger or dock.
Update v3:
I uploaded a new version (attached) which adds the following options:
Hide the camera icon on the lock screen
Hide the carrier label on the lock screen of some Xperia devices
Hide the sparkles effect on the lock screen of some Xperia devices
Update v4:
I uploaded a new version which adds an option for disabling the analog clock face above the list of alarms on some Xperia devices.
Update v5beta2:
The new version adds preliminary support for Lollipop (untested).
You're welcome to try it and give feedback.
The module can also be found on the Xposed repo: http://repo.xposed.info/module/net.feichti.screentweaks
You say the "disable screen on on unplug" doesn't work, I haven't had a chance to check yet, but I've looked at your code an found the following
Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as i can see on line 56 on ScreenTweaks.java, you are getting a value as a string from pref and checking if it equals "on" or "off". Why not just save a boolean?
secondly, line 39
mPrefs = new XSharedPreferences(MY_PACKAGE_NAME);
Don't you need the file name as well? Again, sorry if I am wrong about this
Otherwise, sounds like a great mod, will try it now
Hey hamzahrmalik, thanks for your reply.
The setting on line 56 is for the CRT animation, and it's that way so I can select to not do anything (don't change system default).
The other thing is correct, because I want the default shared preferences for the module package.
Well, looks like I was looking in the wrong place.
The setting for not turning on the screen works just fine if I connect a charger, but I was always testing it with the dock, which is something different.
Dock aware don't-turn-on coming soon...
thanks for work
any chance to disable the "stars effect" under the finger while unlocking?
maybe also remove the camera icon?
I have tried this on xperia z1 and it does not work

Dear Pezo,
Thank for the work, the crt-off works perfectly on my Xperia Z1c and it looks very nice!
The first option doesn't count for me because i dont use a lockscreen. The third i wil test later today and report the result.
:good:

I have also thought about removing the camera icon, I will look into it the next few days.
About the stars effect, I rather like it, but maybe I will look into that as well.

Another user said it's working on the Z1, do all of the features not work?
Just to make sure, you have enabled it in the Xposed installer?

Oh well, I was just looking for your ROM and it seems it doesn't exist any more...
Could you send your Xposed log, maybe I can fix some features for you.

hi!

i love my new lock screen
I think there is a bug on disable screen sparkles. After activate the sparkles gone forever, also after uncheck or deinstalling the mod - the Sparkles never come back! Anyone can confirm that?

I deactivated this option and I have the sparkles...
yes… restarted, deactivated the Mod and also completly deinstalled… no sparkles anymore…. using monx kitkat rom (sony stock based). Any Suggestion?

I have no idea, but it can't really be my module, since I don't change any persistent settings.
Just to make sure, you did restart your phone AFTER deactivating the module, right?

Okay...thanks anyway for your mod/help!
Tryed clean install on "PureStock" and here its working flawless! Returned to clean "Monx" and it happens again, maybe its rom releated! :fingers-crossed:
Does hiding the camera icon also disable the swipe camera shortcut from lockscreen?

if not you can just use M5 kernel with M5 settings app if it isnt there but im generaly sure its there
atleast in M12
Thanks a lot brother
Just one quick thing
If i download the CM11 from official site, where woulf i find my Double Tap To Wake option.
And hows the M5 kernel in terms of battery or stability.

I run Concept and I do not see Battery Care in my settings. Also, Stamina mode is not included in Concept, so maybe BC only works with Stamina? I haven't any indication it is doing anything after 5 days...
Nope. Stock Nougat on F5122.

IIRC, yes. I guess having the app installed and then update will give you that feature.

that makes sense
Today I connected my phone to a charger and I received a message that Battery Care starts to control the charging process! Not sure if this is because I rebooted or because it takes a week or so to recognize my typical charging patterns.

it depends on your usage. i've got something like 5h 30min(max) of sot, but at least 4h 30min using mobile data only, 3h30 of sot and 3h30min of calling. but i don't play games
I am pretty satisfied with the settings I made. As you can see on my screenshot, I am now running since 07:00 AM yesterday and got 36% left. I used it relatively normal, no gaming or continuously usage for about an hour or so.
What I did was install xposed, greenify and amplify. I activated stamina mode and changed the CPU governor settings to on-demand. Also I forced gpu rendering. No lags or slowdowns at all.

Hi, can you confirm the following? Before updating to nougat you installed the battery care apk (not as a system app) and after the update you found Battery Care App on Nougat? Thank you
I think that Battery Care can run only on devices with USB type C port..

Yes, i sideloaded the APK and then updated to Nougat.
And i don't think the app has any relevance to USB-C at all.

Apps to Adjust Brightness

I have noticed that apps like Tasker and other brightness adjustment apps cannot change my Poco F1's brightness to higher settings compared to the stock MIUI brightness slider.
Do you experience the same issue ? (for those who tried these type of apps)
Thanks

I thought it was a custom kernel issue as I use Franco Kernel, but it seems like the phone itself. Still looking for a solution.

I'm on stock rom and non-root, I think there is some security on controlling brightness by any 3rd party and it should be disabled

Then it really could be some security or restriction, argh. I agree it must be disabled, have to find out how. Maybe I'll check with the 3rd party folks, they probably need to know anyway.
Ok, the developer of my favored app to adjust brightness fixed the problem, BFC app.
Now, I hope Macrodroid and Tasker can fix it, it might be the same problem for new Xiaomi phones.
