I don't see my problem in the posts. Why is it necessary to tap the app then double top the screen to get to view or use that particular app? Is there something that I can change in settings? My wife get frustrated when trying to play Mahjong when she taps coin (forgot what is called) then double tabs screen then proceeds to the similar coin, taps it then double taps the screen in order to play.
Hi Guys,
Is there a way we can have native double tap to unlock?
I know that there are applications, but these work in a really dumb way (imho) as they leave the screen ON.
Any other ideas
just tap twice at home button to wake up the phone
Push down on the bottom of the screen with a little bit of force and see some magic
Anyone has programmed a "Double tap action" on the HOME button ?
Don't you notice some "lag" when touching only one time the HOME button?
I know it has to wait to seek if a second tap is coming but I think it waits too much time!
Disabling "Double tap action" on the HOME button makes HOME button very fast as expected!
I also facing this issue
Yeah, I noticed this issue, too.
I've disabled the double tap action because of that.
we decide didn't use it until this issue has been solved
It's because of the method double tap works. Everytime you press the home button, phone is waiting on second response. This same thing has happened on cyanogemod/lineage for as long as I can remember across all my devices...

I'm willing to bet it was there lol.
Can't do the test ... sold it
3t user here..
I can confirm exact the same behaviour if you set an action for double tap....home button is not so responsive on single tap .
That delay has to be there, it's by design.
If you assign a double tap action to any button, after the first tap, there's a delay that results from the system waiting for the second tap, if this second tap is recognized, it performs the assigned action, if not, it performs the regular single tap action.
It there wasn't that delay in there, every single double tap action would be immediately preceded by the single tap action, which would be very very much annoying.
For example, home button - single tap is return to home. If we assigned a double tap to, let's say, turn on the flashlight, without the delay, the process would go like this:
- You're inside an app and want to turn on the flashlight,
- Double tap the home button
- Because there's no delay, you would immediately be taken to the home screen (single tap action) and only then the flashlight would turn on (double tap action).
That's NOT how it should behave at all.
So, in conclusion, you either have to live with a short delay when assigning double tap actions to buttons or disable the double tap action and have no delay.
Note: this delay is present not only for double tap actions on the HOME button but also for the RECENTS and BACK button.
Note 2: this delay is present in EVERY single ROM that has this ability to assign double tap actions to physical buttons (not just OOS).
Personally, I just turn off the double tap action and use longpress instead, there's no delay that way.
Double Tap Options all off!
Case closed.
But but why there is no delay when you press the multitasking button? . That has also a default double tap for quick switch (alt tab) to previous app!
.. but as soon as you customize the double tap of this button you get a delay!
It must have something to do with the finger print scanner function on the home button too.
But the delay is present on all 3 capacitive buttons if you put a custom double tap action.. so i don't think it has anything to do with fingerprint sensor, more of a deliberately action of an increased timeout.
Well.. hope they will decrease the timeout or at least make it customizable
Do you notice it on the back button? I tested and it seems no different.
Yes i notice it on back button too. Just retested.
No double tap - instant. Custum double tap - delay
Yup! I also confirm know.
I was using double tap on home / back to turn off the screen.
Just changed to long press.
No lag now and same objective done!
isnt there a prob setting or so to adjust the delay ?
What are people's thoughts on double tap to wake or the ambient display option of single tap. You can't have both. Selecting one will disable the other.
What's the difference? I can't really tell.
I like the single tap.

Double tap goes to the lock screen (and immediately enabling Face Unlock for those who use it), and single tap enables the Ambient Display.
Double tap is like the power button, single tap is like picking up the phone.
Single tap cant light up the phone in a trusted place, you will still have to unlock it after you bring up the ambient. Not sure if that matters to most people but it's why I'm on double tap.
Hello everyone,
I was wondering if there is an application or anything else that can allow tap (or double tap) to wake on a rooted Nexus10
Once I used Microsoft Launcher for a while, which had the ability to wake up by tapping the screen.

Thank you for your reply!
I can't seem to find an option to tap to unlock with the Microsoft Launcher
I can see the Tap To Lock option but not the other way around
Maybe you remember how you managed to do that?
Thanks again!
