Background
I am using HTC-E8. The power button is on the top of device which is difficult to turn screen off by using its power button. So I write this mod to let me turn of screen by just swipe up from home button
Function
This mod allow you swipe up from home button to turn off your screen.
Since swipe up from home button normally will trigger Google Now. This mod default will disable this gesture for trigger Google Now. However, you can have an option to enable Google Now by long press the home button.
Notes:
1. You must reboot your device to make your preference take effect.
2. I only test it on my HTC-E8 device with HTC Sense 6.0
Changes History:
2015-04-27 v0.83
1. Fix package name issues while download from Xposed repository
2. Add a function to completely disable "Google Now"
3. Add function on turning the threshold for triggering "Google Now"

Great work!!
Will test this module for sure~
If Dev can consider on including this swipe up gesture to run other actions or shortcuts will be even more fantastic!
Thanks for the great module!
It works but the threshold is too short, very easy to accidentally tutn off screen. Therrs no swiping up animation like woth google now but i just press on the home button a little longer than usual then the screen turns off. Please implement the now-like popup and ability to adjust threshold
"Package name is incorrect" on Xposed repository (aka can't download from xposed app)
I would also like to see the ability to change the threshold before screen turns off, and adding some kind of visual, whether it's Google's own one or a custom one, would be nice.
For me it works by swiping up on the home, menu, app drawer and back buttons on my LG G3. I like it that way since it's easier to toggle the screen off.
Nice module I believe the same thing can be achieved with greenify which lets you default "hibernate and lock" to the swipe up shortcut. You don't need xposed for that.

Well I dislike that greenify always locks the phone and I only want my screen turned off. With greenify it always prompts me to enter my unlock pattern and ignores Googles smart lock and for this is an annoyance.
But with this module it works like a charm.

Alright I did not know greenify disables smart unlock.
It disables only Googles smart lock but not the app smart unlock ^^
Can this be done by swiping up the 'Recents' button instead of Home button?? *Idea!

Are you sure? Just tested it and smart lock does still work.
Great! It's always good to have more options.

Yes, at least on paranoid android rom, I have an unlock pattern and trusted faces enabled and it always asks for the pattern when I use the greenify hibernate and screen lock function
Holy. Xposed installer tells me that the package sign is not correct. You should check iy.

Okay well, you can't really complain to the dev here if your using a custom ROM.

I don't complain about the module, which works perfectly, it was about greenify and it's similar function.
Is this possible using hardware navigation keys? I guess it's not, since it just replaces the Google now shortcut..

It does work in hardware navigation keys.
And your equipment
If you're trying this package post the type of device it worked on, OS, custom ROM etc... so others will know..

Good stuff! Although swipe [down] to sleep & swipe up to wake, just make more sense to me as swipe gestures.
I f*&#ing hate this stock rom! If anyone could tell me how, or if there is a way by disabling a service, to stop the google search popping up when you swipe past the home button or hold it for a second. Aargh!
Install Google Now Launcher or Nova.

I have the pro version of nova installed. This has no options to disable this feature
Install Tasker for example. Then if You swipe the home button the popup will show with apps to choose - then choose Tasker (use always) that could do just nothing.
Now if You swipe home button only white circle would appear - that would do nothing.
I should have pointed out that my intention is to stop this circle popping up, so i can use the slimpie controls and disable the navbar completely. I am afraid I am struggling to come to terms with just how limited a stock rom is. Sure I can get root via the sony dev website but at this point I think all the fancy algorithms for camera performance would be removed, as well as throttling for thermal control.
When you Google Search, you find https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hk.sld.SwipeLaunchDisabler
The Irony
I'm using this app to fast lock the screen when I swipe up the home button
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock
otherwise you can use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dynamicg.homebuttonlauncher
to have more options respect to open google search
Just FYI:
- This is called "Swype up for Google Now" in old Nexus manuals.
- Now in Android 6.0 is replaced for "Google Now on tap".
I don't really know how to disable it.... Maybe trying another Launcher.
Thanks for your input. however the home button launcher will not achieve my goal, and the swipelauncher disabler is comically pointless! It is less a disable function, more so it just doesn't launch my browser, choosing instead to flash the screen at me! It is clear that I will not be sated until custom roms come about with some CM or AOSP goodness. Please hurry devs, I want to love this phone...
I'm a bit late to the party and I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but I've just been disabling some apps on my z5c and one of them was the Google Now app (I think it was called). Because the bubble popping up was from the Google now app, it has stopped appearing ever since. Hope to have helped.
Disable the Google App
Yep remove Google Now or I just tried this and works well (you cannot prevent the animation that will still persists, but the action gets revoked the way you have requested.)

Do you guys think that will ever be possible to reprogram the only physical button available on the Z line to make it more useful?
Something like:
Tap = back
Long press = Home
Double tap = Multi-tasking
+1 on this. It would really be great to be able to interact more with it.
But it's not a button......

In that it is not a mechanical activation device, no - it's not a button. But it is a sensor that can detect the presence of a finger, which means we could perform different actions in response to such events... just like one would when "pressing" a button. Hell, assuming the APIs exist, we could even configure the sensor to execute different actions depending on the finger touching it. I'd love to have it do one thing when the thumb on my right hand touches it and another when the thumb on my left hand touches it - as different hands typically indicates different uses.
Those interested in giving the fingerprint sensor additional functionality should keep an eye on this project. It only has a few functions now but might evolve into something more useful.

Has two functions as I know.
1. Fingerprint scanner
2. Screen off button(any finger)

I'm not an expert, obviously, and this is why I opened this thread (thanks to the moderator that moved it in the right section) but I guess that a fingerprint reader can or could be used as a sort of button since it is definitely possible to do gestures on (many of) them.
I've found Gravitybox works well, with per finger actions and an automation app it can do quite a lot.

? Really? What version of GravityBox, and where exactly do you configure the per finger actions? I've looked all through the app and cannot find anywhere to do what you're describing...

In the latest on Xposed 3.1, Gravitybox 6.2.1. Just set it up on my Moto Z, makes the normal navigation home button temperamental but besides that works well.
(Configuration for per finger actions was in the Fingerprint Launcher section, definitely a new feature)

The home soft button isn't temperamental it's activation area is smaller when activating fingerprint actions.
If you test it out it's reacting to your touch from the middle on up not from the lower end already.

Aye, I did notice that but that makes it temperamental in use since it's not normal to have to carefully touch the top of the button or swipe from the sides to raise the nav bar. Gestures and full screen works grand anyway.
Is it possible to
1. make notification light to turn into phone's breathing light? which will blink always. (notification blinking will be 2x or 3x faster than breathing blinking)
2. turn fingerprint sensor into scrolling function? like internet browsing scrolling, facebook scrolling and in homepage bringing down notification panel?
I don't understand what you mean by "breathing light", but there are a few apps that do useful things with the fingerprint sensor, in reply to your second query, though this unfortunately isn't baked into the firmware (my previous phone was a Moto, so had pretty handy Moto gestures natively - v cool).
I've been experimenting with an app called Fingerprint Gestures, which I quite like. I only use it to pull up the home screen, which is tricky sometimes, eg when you're using Google Maps.
Fingerprint Gestures lets you select any of a number of commands, by single, long or double tapping. Unfortunately to get it to scroll you'd need root.
Miui (being a royal pain in the hole) seems to mess with the permissions a bit such that you tend to get pestered about the same permissions repeatedly.
There are a few other similar apps I'm gonna try also.
Edit
I just tried 4 other apps, Fingerprint Action Pro, Fingerprint Gesture, Fingerprint Swipes & Hometouch. Couldn't get any of them to work as well as Fingerprint Gestures

I'm using 'finger scanner gestures', tried a lot of apps but unfortunately none of them seem to be able to handle swiping over scanner... Maybe hardware limitation?
Also, i can confirm, permissions that are already given seem to disappear after a while (happens for other apps too)

I don't know about the breathing light notification..
But im sure tasker + fingerprint scanner app can do the scroll or other command..
I've read it somewhere in xda or reddit
I remember similar blinking light on my Ericsson gh688 phone to indicate gsm signal was there......would be nice to have that on poco f1

After using native gestures on OnePlus 6 and Note 9 (One Hand Operation+) I'm 100% sure I will use gestures instead of navigation bar even if I have to give up Nova Launcher, but so far all the youtube videos I've seen there is no gesture to switch to last app which is something I use very often.
I was hoping I didn't have to install another gesture app on top of native gestures
Am I missing something is there a gesture to jump QUICKLY to last app? Or you have to swipe+hold/wait+swipe+tap everytime you want to go to previous app?
Could at least knuckle gestures do that or they're just for screenshots, split-scren and launch apps?
Up until now I haven't found a way to quickly switch between the last 2 apps. Hope they will include a new gesture with a future update
I ended up purchasing the app "edge gestures", previous app works really well on the Note 9 if I enable the "force previous app" option and it uses a faster animation as well, what's on the screenshot is all I wanted that is missing on native gestures, I'll see how it goes on Mate 20 pro I hope system doesn't kill the "edge gestures" app every few minutes
EDIT: I was forgetting about google assistant, I guess I'll set tap and hold for that as I will disable the option to launh google assistant with native gestures so it doesn't interfere with the edge gestures app
EDIT 2: okay I think "oneplus gestures" app will be better if ot doesn't interfere with native gestures from bottom center
TIP: Download NCleaner to get rid of constant notification "X app displaying over other apps" use the option "ongoing notification hider"
This is a great tip, thank you for it!
Whenever I have an app lock the screen (Edge gestures or Nova) it usually locks the screen and the phone immediately unlocks itself again. Do yo experience the same? Any fix that you know of?

Happens to me if you have faceunlock on and it detects your face. What I do is point it slightly away from my face when I double tap to turn off screen and its fine.
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Turns out that disabling the Direct Unlock (as opposed having to swipe up again after face unlock unlocks the phone) also resolves this.
Annoying either way, not sure why it recognises face again after locking the screen.
