Hello,
For those wanting to use Nova Launcher and still retain the double tap 'KnockOff' feature, I finally got it working via the procedure below. Note that this requires the paid version of Nova.. Hope this helps someone!
1. Download "Turn off the Screen" from the play store (it is free)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=turn.off.the.lights&hl=en
2. Open the installed app and click "Enable Now"
3. Open up Nova Settings -> Gestures and buttons -> Double tap -> Shortcuts -> Activities
4. Scroll to "Turn off the Screen" and expand the options. Choose "Turn Off The Screen : LockerActivity"
That's it. You should now be able to click anywhere on the nova desktop without an app / widget and it will turn off the screen as the stock LG KnockOff does. Note that I began with the "Screen Off and Lock" app, but this ignored the LG setting to not lock the screen for 10min and forces immediate PIIN entry upon unlock.
Cheers
If you knock on the status bar, the screen turns off with nova....no special software needed
Can the knock knock be turned off completely?

iirc it's in the display settings
This can also be done pretty easily with Nova and Tasker. Love this feature. I almost never have to use the hard buttons on this phone.
Excellent..

Not sure what you mean by "reset", but you can remove scanned fingerprints.
Settings > Fingerprint > "Fingerprint Manager" > Menu (3 dot icon) at top right > Deregister > Select the Fingerprint > Delete (trash icon @ top right) > OK
Lockscreen should default to swipe.
Is there a way to reset your pin if you can't get into it it won't let you in at all

Hi guys,
i'hv been using moto x play for 6 days now and i'm not able to customize the quick settings, cannot turn off auto-correct and many settings are missing. I am new to lollipop. Please help
I can't customize quick settings too
About the auto-correct, I disabled in Settings > Language & Input > auto-correct. Don't you have this option?
no reboot option

i got the auto correct off, quick settings are not customizable i suppose. One more thing, when i hold the power key i see only power off option, no reboot option available. How to reboot this device then?

When I used the stock Motorola ROM on my old Moto G 2013, the power off was the only option too. I don't know if it's a feature from AOSP or Motorola ROM. To reboot, you can turn off, then turn on or use some third party app. Power Toggles has this feature and doesn't require root. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc
Thanks for the link.
This is my first Moto phone. I will have to do some research and get used it.
In developer settings there is advanced reboot menu option I think?
Sent from my XT1562 using Tapatalk
I'm pretty sure that Google changed the reboot option (as in made it go away) with the release of Lollipop. Don't think Motorola or any of the OEM's had say or part in it. That's why the only option on stock is to power down. I haven't checked out "Power Toggles" to see if that is a viable option for stock un rooted phones. I couldn't take the ads any longer and rooted to use Adaway + Elixir (gives you reboot widget). FWIW.

Hey Guys,
i have a general question. Is there a mod or. APK where i can define a point/dot on my Touchscreen and map it to a Hardware Button of the car (e.g. Steering wheel Buttons)?
What i want to Do is, to control the Touchscreen without touching. Seems funny but would be perfect, cause id like the steering wheel buttons.
I am using Android Auto with HeadUnit Reloaded, and switching through music with my Buttons works perfectly. Now it would be awesome to launch Google Assistant through a Button. Inside HUR isnt the Option to map the Assistant. And in my Hal9K mood i tried several Things.
So i thought, i am. 90% Inside Android Auto and the G Assistant Touch Icon is in bottom right corner. So i need a App that points on that Display location and simulate a Touch press, when i press the steering wheel. Is that possible?
Thanks for your time and help
Best wishes

That is a great idea! There is a way to send touches on the screen. You can do it via command line, e.g. :
input tap 560 960
You can also send key events the same way:
input keyevent KEYCODE_WAKEUP
You can browse in internet for the whole list. To determine the coordinates you can enable debug mode, and there is an option that is called INPUT -> pointer location.
This will display the coordinates on the screen whether you put your finger on.
Now, to map hardware buttons I think there are a couple of applications that let you do that. You can also map the hardware button to the key M to start the assistant. If I remember properly that is the hot key from HUR to start the microphone.
Let me know how it goes, I am also interested!
EDIT: Yet another way is to trigger an intent from the HUR app:
am start -a gb.xxy.hr.mic
There are several apps that let you start intents like tasker.
Am application to map the buttons without requiring root is Button Mapper.

The other day while driving I suddenly had a question. Why cannot you use the voice activated trigger! Ok Google, to start the voice commands? That way you don't need to press the voice button.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
Toggeling with voice is Okey but often i have to scream or turn volume down. Or say it multiple Times. So a key is much more comfortable to me. My Touchscreen is Not perfectly reachable during driving so steering wheel buttons would be the perfect solution for me ?
Hey Fgarcor,
I had some time so investigate the problem. What i have done so far:
Mapping all my Hardware Keys to specific keycodes:
-Google Assisstant - - > 289
-Start Route - - > 288
-Switch Spotify - - > 291
-See Notifications - - > 292
-Route Option A - - > 283
-Route Option B - - > 284
-Route Option C - - > 285
So thats all "Events" i need for android auto. Then i went into debug Mode an locate the coordinates for each section:
-Google Assisstant - - > 925 x 556 y
-Start Route - - > 224 x 450 y
- Switch Spotify - - > 215 x 550 y
- See Notifications - - > 791 x 562 y
- Route Option A - - > 260 x 175 y
- Route Option B - - > 260 x 275 y
- Route Option C - - > 260 x 375 y
So i have all Information that i needed an just have to merged them but i dont know where can i define specific commands. I tried "Button Remapper Pro" but the APK does Not detect my keycodes.
Where can i Set up some command lines? Do i have to install a specific Module in Magisk Manager? Or is there Kind of a console on my rooted Android Radio?
Sorry, i dont understand it for 100% and need your help, Thanks
Best wishes

Hi Rene,
I don't have the pro version, I just tested on my phone to associate a long press on the volume down button to start the Google assistant and it worked. So I guess for your case you can do the following to associate a key with the Google assistant, I see several options:
- On the main screen select "add buttons". Now that the hardware button is not any of the standard buttons like home, recents, volume, etc that you would find on a phone.
- then press the hardware button you want to add so the application automatically reads the code, on this case one of the keycodes that you sent before.
- associate the action with the button you just pressed, you can associate to:
--- actions: like sending keycodes (only for pro it seems), or intents (actions inside an application that can be started from outside of the application), other typical actions like volume control, home, etc
--- applications: launching one of the installed applications
--- shortcuts: available for some applications to start an action quickly.
- here you can select as action send keyevent and there you can choose to send KEYCODE_M. That is specified by HUR as the key to launch the mic, in your case assistant, that way you are independent of a change in the interface and coordinates.
- you can select also to send a shell command, and there you can write what we discussed before "input tap x y". And replace X and Y with your coordinates.
- you could also select directly the assistant under actions, veggie the last one, but I think that would trigger the assistant on your head unit Android and but in HUR.
I hope it helps, if questions, feel free to ask.

Sorry I missed this part, how did you get your keycodes in the first place?
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
Thanks for your reply Basically i opened Hal9K MOD Settings. There is a Option called "remap Buttons". There i can enable "keycodes" so whenever i press a key, the Code will displayed for a few seconds. I also can Change the Button functions from a define keycode list (i am Not able to enter a specific keycode). So i put all the Buttons i want to use to a defined keycode which has no function on my Radio yet.
I downloaded tasker and tried to Set up shell commands. I Used "Input tap x y" whenever the specific keycode Was Red. But it seems, tasker cant read the keycodes? I tried to put in the if statement:
getKeyCode() == 289
Keyevent.getKeyCode() ==289
Input keyevent == 289
And some combimations of that but Google assisstant wont start.
Maybe i have to implement a whole Script for that? Never die amything like that, could be funny ?
Thanks for your help so far

Did I understand you correctly? These numbers from above were assigned by you? Or did you read them via tasker?
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
Correct, i assigend them in Hal9K, they were inside the list. I think i cant read them with tasker or i just have the wrong command.

Can you try with the following app? This is the one I use to know what are the values of the key pressed.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=aws.apps.keyeventdisplay
You can check whether the keys are pressed, if they are detected by Android and in that case which value are they bound with.
I am not sure whether the mapping you made was to give a keycode to a hardware button or to remap existing keycodes. In the second case I would skip the remapping and just use the original values.
You can check with this app before and after assigning the keycodes to the hardware buttons, and maybe I can understand better how does it work for you. Sorry.

Fgarcor you are absolutly right, thank you!! But this confuses me much more ? find attached a Screenshot from your apk.
It seems that the keycodes i "mapped" in Hal9K, werent really mapped. Cause in the output of "keyeventdisplay" there are different keycodes. As you mentioned, this have to be the right Codes.
Nevertheless there are just a couple of Buttons recognized but this would be Okey first of All.
A big Mysterium for me is still Tasker ? I dont know how to Set up a Profile that makes a Input tap whenever a Button was Pressed? Which variable/function Do i have to Check for the keyevent?
Im sorry for annoying you, but there is no comprehensibly thread to find on Google. Do you have some experience with tasker and Set up something like this?
I am really thankful for your help so far

It looks like the 19,20,21,22 area corresponding to the arrows (up, down, left right, not necessarily in that order) and the 87, 88 could be select and back?
I think I have something similar in my head unit.
Coming back to the mapping to actions. You said that Button Mapper is not detecting your key presses when you try to add a button? Even after unmapping them from your keycodes in your head unit? Because that is the easiest way to move forward.
Regarding tasker I haven't used it much. Once I tried to set a routine but it turned out macrodroid did the job better than tasker and I sticked to it.
Let me check if I can find it how to do it in tasker.
EDIT: it seems that tasker needs a plugin called auto input where you can either select the key presses to react to, as a trigger, or they can be detected by the app. This is a paid plugin with a trial period of 7 days.
And then I read in some forums that to run a shell command you may need to have root on the device what I guess it is not the case in your display. That also made me think if button mapper or similar could run a shell command.
I need to check a bit further.

So, once again, i tried Button mapper to recognize my Button Keys but nothing will be found. I deleted all keycodes and Pressed any Button, but they wont be displayed in Button mapper.
I also have to mention that i am rooted through Hal9K, i have Magisk Manager and can give superuser for Apps (did that for Button mapper).
Thanks for searching the Internet, i tried Auto Input, but didnt had that much time So far. Seems like i have to read/watch Videos about that plugin and tasker Routines. I hope i have time for that at the weekend. But it would be awesome if it would work, cause i See a lot of opportunity in that.
Thanks for your time, maybe that will help some other Guys
