search play.store these apps working with tap but swiping on off screen is little bit meaningless !

[HOW TO] turn off htc one without pressing the power button

First, download this app :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImNvbS5rYXRlY2NhLnNjcmVlbm9mZmxvY2siXQ..
This app just do one thing: turn off the screen
Then there's two ways
Turn off htc one using nova launcher
1.buy nova launcher prime.
2.go to gesture settings.
3.set any gestures (I prefer double tap) to open app, and make it open this app.
4.done.if you double tap nova launcher home screen now, it will turn off.
Another way is to use Google now command:
1.set button command as long press home for menu and Swipe up for Google now
2.do Google now command by swiping up
3.complete action using the app 'screen off'
4.now swiping up the home screen will turn off the screen (but you have to find another way for Google now-I don't use so )
Hope this thread helps, with this and volume wake up, you won't have to press power button ever again

I use Tasker with proximity sensor to switch on and off screen when my flip case is opened or closed respectively.

That's what I use when I have my flip case but I like it naked and three are the solutions I came up with

Tap to Unlock and Lock (stock HTC one)
HTC ONE.
No LED app
Time Display Constantly
When u tap home button, HTC one will unlock
Screen off and lock ,
Set HTC one gesture as Swipe up for Google now and Set Screen off as default app
Now when u swipe up from home button it will lock !
If you're rooted then try custom roms and kernels. I use elementalx kernel and it has power on options such as swiping from back to home button, double tapping screen, volume on, and htc button hold on.

home button alternative?

i tend to use stylus a lot and i can even use it on soft key buttons which is great, i always want to use home button function without pressing the actual button. Is there a motion gesture or anything similar that would allow me to go to home screen?
Basically i would like to avoid pressing the home button with finger all the time.

or you can use the one included in the note, just go settings and then accessibility, in there just activate the assistant menu it's pretty good

use swipe home button. Works perfectly with Spen. Just set sensitivity to large inside its settings if it is not that responsive.
thanks guys i liked the samsung accessibility one but i thought it was too laggy to open up and then its always floating
i then found perfect simple app called 'Home Button', its always in notifications and you simply click it
Try floating toucher on google play.
Gmd pen gestures. You create the gestures you need for whatever functions. I've got press pen button swipe down for notifications and up for home..

[Q] remap home button?

what file do I need to modify to remap the home button .. i have tried
system/usr/keylayout/atmel_mxt_ts.kl
system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl
there are tons of other files, which one is the correct one??
I want to remap home button to turn on/off screen ... as I have the ridiculous issue with my s5 where the screen does not wake up (only the capacitive keys light up)
Home already wakes the phone up, NOVA Launcher can map it to any shortcut or app you like, find one that locks the screen and map it to that
Or are you saying that Home no longer wakes up the screen?
Settings > Device > Accessibility > Dexterity and interaction > Air Wake Up
You can wake the phone up by waving your hand over the sensors

How do you make the home screen automatically

How do you make the home screen automatically lock so when you press the power button a fingerprint shows on the bottom of the screen so you have to either use your fingerprint or swipe up on the screen and put in a pattern to open the phone?

Making the phone open to the Lock Screen

When I unlock the phone with finger print ,it directly opens to the Home Screen.How it can be made to open the Lock Screen?
I think it is OK to FP open to Home Screen. I cannot imagine why one would open to Lock Screen and next once more unlock. This does not make sense.

you can also double tap your phone screen, which will show the lock screen...
Ok,thank you jeryl.But,if I activate double tap, will it affect the battery consumption?

Shure it will. Touch sensor of the screen will be constantly enabled this way consuming power
