I'm not the creator of the app. Just thought this is useful. It's an app called KnockOn.

I used to be able to double tap my HOME button on my droid and it would automatically launch the VoiceTalk app while I was driving. Then I updated the firmware to allow for WI-FI calling and now it no longer launches the app. I can't figure out how to set it back up. So here I am posting to you great and all knowing people....looking for an answer. It is not a setting that I manually did, that I am aware of, as I have 2 of these phones and both of them have the same issue.
Thanks in advance!
Post Edit: I contacted T-Mobile and apparently, they removed it from the double tap feature and if you now hold down the search glass in the lower right hand corner, it will bring up 4 apps you can use. I still like the double tap feature, but might have to live with this change....
OK... I have got Tasker, I`m trying to make a shortcut to talkback, or accessibility that can be accessed from double pressing the home button.
I have tried xshortcut to try and use the capture feature on it, but I get a permissions error.
I could enter it in the intent field manually I suppose, but what would I have to type as an intent to get to talkback to either toggle on or off, or to get just the the talkback screen?
I have looked and looked. The closest I am getting is com.android.settings.Subsettings.
Yes I am a noob and yes I am out of my depth, but I am just trying to make a talkback toggle for my partially sighted wife.
Any flaming/suggestions welcome
EDIT: In an ideal world, the Home2 shortcut app would work, as you can select a shortcut in this app, so I would make an accessibility shortcut with Anycut, and use it with that, but SGS2 isn`t compatibile with Home2 shortcut, and advanced home button app cannot select shortcuts
BUMP.

any update on this?? Am also trying to figure out the same thing for galaxy s and an android tab..
Closest I have got is, because Home2 doesn`t work on TouchJizz, you install some kind of AOSP rom then it works faultlessly.
The closest shortcut you can make is getting to the accessibility page, this is does either through Nova launcher actions (which I thinik is similar to anycut) or use Anycut itself!
Talkback needs an update...
Same here. I emailed the developer of spiel and he says a direct shortcut can't be made as Google limits this!

I was just curious if there is a way to set the action for when I double tap the screen. Maybe I missed it in the settings somewhere. I have an LG phone and use double tap to wake and put my phone to sleep. With Themer it just opens the settings dialog.

I found the setting but cant seem to find a system default setting. Knock on and off is one of the LG G2's best features. It would be nice if it could be used with Themer. Could it be considered for a future release?
Other than that great app.

Try knocking the status bar if you have that enabled. It should work.
There was an app, if rooted, that allowed you do assign things like double tap opens sms compose screen, but I can't find it. Anyone know what that app was?

Nova Launcher with Secure Settings you can do it, i guess

There are many apps that will do that. One of the more popular apps is GMD GestureControl which can map a double tap, swipe or other gesture to the action that you want.
You will also find apps to remap hardware buttons. There are some good xposed modules for that.
Hi guys,
i need to disable double tap to wake up my H850.
How can i do this?
Thanks
There may be an easier way, but I carried over the same technique that I used on my G4...
Get QuickShortcutMaker from the Play Store. In the app, do a search on "knock."
This will yield a result for "settings." Tap that, and it will expand to reveal two "KnockOn" settings.
Tap either one of those, and it will open an "Edit Shortcut" screen. Tap the "Try" option, and this will open the KnockOn settings. In there, you can turn off the feature.
Doesn't matter which of the settings you choose, both will ultimately take you to a screen where you can turn it off.
Best of all, you don't need root (thank goodness).
