To enable double tap to lock from home screen, simply install a launcher that supports the option via gestures.
E.g. Nova launcher prime (available for INR 10 or about 0.15 USD as part of summer deal), or other free launchers.
If you want double tap to lock in the status bar or nav bar, root & install xposed, then GravityBox. It is hands down, the best customization module that I have tried.

Yes, I have enabled DTW. But, i need to perform DTW to lock and perform unlock by fingerprint. Since, I notice if DTW is done for lock of screen then the same is required to unlock the screen whereas unlock by fingerprint is not functioning.

What did you use to get double-tap-to-lock? Try any third party launcher and see.
I use Nova launcher: gestures>double-tap>choose shortcut>GravityBox actions>goto sleep.
If you use the native screen lock action in Nova, you cannot use fingerprint to unlock. Pattern/PIN might be needed. The GravityBox action does not have this limitation.

idk how many have observed this, but any kind of authentication from the bellow is disabled if you use a third party app / widget to lock your device :
Fingerprint | Trusted Face | Trusted Voice
I have tried using multiple apps / widgets that will turn off my screen or lock the device and added it as a gesture to my nova launcher's double tap gesture. so that i get double tap to lock screen on homescreen...
But this disables fp. I read somewhere that a tasker plugin can be used ...i tried it when i was on cm13 but that plugin actually enters the pin for you after you lock. meaning you lose security.
using the "turn off screen" option in buttons does keep the fp enabled. So ive currently kept long press back button to lock...and fp works... but this option isn't available through any settings shortcut or any other way...
So, if anyone finds any solution please let me know!
Thankyou!
So I usually can figure out just about anything. But I can't find an app to turn my screen off without using the power button to save it without it requiring me to enter a pin after I use my finger print.
I am currently using Nova Launcher with the Double Tap to turn the screen off and it too requires a pin on unlock. Is there any work around this?
I'm using Stock+ by Tupac4u, not the N Preview.
Thanks!

I went through that too. Greenify has a setting that allows holding the home button to shut the screen off that works without a PIN to unlock. Some kernels have a swipe navbar feature that can be turned on with ex kernel manager. But currently I am using Ressurection Remix which allows programming long presses on the navbar. I believe Pure Nexus has a built in setting like this also.
GMD GestureControl (play store) works fine (root)
You guys are the BEST! Thanks a Lot!

Use the root option built into Nova. It will turn the screen off without locking it.
I'm using Nova's double tap to run a Tasker task to run a shell command "input key event 26" to turn the screen off. Then Franco Kernel's double tap to wake option to turn the screen back on.

Why just why the complications... in Nova launcher you got double tap to screen lock option and once you do the same first time.. it asks for the normal method and root.. with root you don't see the pin or pattern screen.. with normal you do...
If you are rooted you should be good to go with that..

So I just upgraded to the OOS 3.0.2 MM build, and there's a new issue that's greatly annoying me. If you lock the phone with the power button, the fingerprint scanner will unlock it fine. However, if you lock it with something else (as I do with both shake-to-lock and Nova's lock actions), it will insist on ALSO asking for the pin/pattern unlock once your fingerprint has been scanned.
Anyone find a way to disable this security feature while still having a fingerprint unlock in place? Neither Gravity Box nor the security settings are presenting any obvious options
That's a feature of Android MM, not OOS. It can't be disabled.

There is no way to disable it? Even rooted? No xposed or system level hack?
It seems to be an error in design of Nova launcher and other solutions. They don't use the correct way of locking the phone hardlocking instead of softlocking, and therefore the phone will ask for pin just as if you restarted your phone.

I had same issue when i used double tap to sleep in nova launcher prime.... i is because it uses device administrator to lock phone! I fixed by using root to lock my mobile....
Long story short you need your application to use root to lock your device!
But what if the shakelock app I use (and love!) doesn't use root....? It's sounding like I'm out of luck here. How have you managed to make Nova use root to lock?
I guess I'm more of an Apex guy, don't fancy Nova launcher even though I bought it a couple of years ago. I just double tap on top part of screen to lock, or press the power button, or let it timeout. For unlocking, I just use fingerprint, no fuss, no asking for code.
I was happy with Nova Launcher (which is currently on sale for $0.99 on the Play store), until I found out that it has a bug in voice searches from the Home Screen's search bar. It annoyed the heck out of me as it kept on complaining "App not installed" when clicking on the little mic. I had to click on the search bar and THEN click on the other mic that appeared, inorder to access voice search. Defeats the purpose of the voice search b/c I use it a lot while driving and I cant be bothered to be clicking through so many hoops. So I switched my homescreen launcher to Google Now Launcher, while keeping everything else Nova Prime.
For anyone interested, I have found a sort-of solution. Using a combo of Xposed Maxlock and Lockscreen Disabler, it's possible to have a lockscreen up that you can dismiss by using the fingerprint sensor. There's a fairly obvious downside in that it doesn't matter what fingerprint hits the sensor, as anything at all unlocks the screen (which is Lockscreen Disabler's function) but it works as a way to use a non-root lock method that still allows you to unlock the screen with just a touch. Until such a time as someone finds a better solution
I'm pretty sure that it's easy to write a simple apk that uses the root method to call the screen off function. Only if someone would write that
Why I tell that - because if You double tap the status bar - the screen locks and You can easily unlock it just with the fingerprint sensor... therefore, that function does exist already in the ROM.
Yeah, I've got the Nova rooted lock function working, so those actions or GravtiyBox stuff like double tap status bar will work and not require pin+fingerprint, but my specific ask is this way to lock the screen by quickly flicking/shaking the phone (which is GREAT and I don't understand what hasn't been included in stock) - none of those seem to use root to lock so this workaround is a way to have that convenient screen off + convenient fingerprint on.
Hi everyone, I just got my AT&T Lg v20, for some reason I can't seem to get rid of the "swipe to unlock" screen. It is really annoying because I set up the fingerprint unlock and I thought that just with the fingerprint it can be unlock, but after I unlock it another screen shows up (the swipe to unlock screen) and it is very annoying. Does somebody knows what is going on?
It seems if you use a third party launcher, the use finger print to unlock will still require the pattern when you use knock to close the screen.
Either use the stock launcher , or in my case, greenify.
double tap in Nova to start Greenify's auto force close for apps. check the alternative method in Greenify settings for this to work
Sir you have saved my life. Thank you. I had the buzz launcher but it was not enabled I just unistalled it and it worked thanks again.
Maybe I'm just overlooking something obvious - but is there a way (other than the button on the back) to turn off the primary display??
I have figured out that i can double tap to wake. But haven't figured out bow to turn off.
Disregard. Found out that i can double tap status bar for knock on feature to turn off.
You should be able to double tap home screen as well to turn off

I think this has to be an empty spot on home screen. I use 5x5 and keep it pretty packed - so that doesn't work for me. But you are correct

Keep in mind you can also double tap the notification bar if space is at a premium... I'm using Nova Launcher so only the notification bar works, which is good enough for me...

Yes - this is what i use now. Will take some getting used to, but seems easy enough to adjust to.
I'm using Nova Prime and double tap on and off work fine. No need to use notification bar to tap off here. I can double tap any empty spot on any screen and it will turn off.
If it doesn't work like that for you - must be something else.
1. Do you have Nova Prime, or Free?
2. Do you use live wallpaper?

This does work. I use the stock launcher. There's just not a lot of open real estate on my home screen. Also doesnt work outside of home screen (that I've noticed). So status bar has been OK.
When XPOSED eventually comes to Nougat there was an option in some of the old G3/G4 Tweakboxes (which ran on the G5, V10, etc) to double tap the navigation bar as well as the status bar.
I got very accustom to that so hopefully that will become an option in the future as well.
For now, I am using Nova Prime Double tap to run a tasker task that executes a shell command (as root) to emulate the power button press. This will turn off the display and still allow you to wake it back up with the fingerprint sensor since other methods make use of the device administrator and require a pin/password/knock-code to unlock.

Unfortunately our work email app (maas360) does not play nice with root. So i don't think that is in my future

I use the stock LG V20 launcher. But I'm thinking that you could still use the knock feature by double tapping the status bar
