Nova Launcher not working well with G2?

Hi Guys,
I installed Nova Launcher and the knock knock feature to turn off the screen is not working
Any work around?

Hi,
Double tap on the notification bar area...
Below is a little app you can add to assist Nova. Install this from the link below at the Play Store, then set Nova up that a Double Tap will execute the app. You can double tap any where on the screen, you are not limited to just the Notification bar.

Double-tapping the notification bar will work. You can also install the Screen Off app from the Play Store, here. Make sure to open the Screen Off Settings and activate it. Then in Nova Settings, go to Gestures and Buttons-->Double tap, select the Apps tab, scroll down and select the Screen Off app. Knock off should work just as it used to.

Turn off screen double tap

The reason for this is to simplify for G2 users that miss the double tap turn off screen in other than the default launcher.
Lock Screen
It's tiny 21KB and has no ads.
For Apex Launcher
1. Install Lock Screen
2. Go to Apex Settings\Behavior Settings\Desktop double tap
3. Choose "Launch app" and choose Lock Screen.
It's about the same with other launchers that are like Apex Launcher.
There are many other apps out there that do the same thing but i found that many are little slow with turning off the screen.
Note: If you can't install it with Play Store there are alternative ways but that one should be available for everyone.
To disable the turn of animation:
The only app I know is the Xposed Framework module XBlast Tools.
I'm using it with CloudyFlex 1.4 and it's working perfectly.

double tap with novq

Hey guys ... I dont know if anyone else already posted about this, but u can use lgs double to switch off screen in nova launcher by just tapping the notification area twice.
Have fun
Yes sir, tap twice on notification bar.
I use GMD gesture swipe up on corner top work well
Download the free app "Screen off" from the Playstore and assign it as gesture in Nova settings.
If you have paid nova launcher version you can assign double tap on screen gesture to hibernate+screen lock (greenify). Works perfect for me.
Also, the double tap on status bar to lock works within every app.
I created a task and assign it on double tap

Swipe up twice gesture with custom launchers

While using Android Pie...Using Nova launcher I don't get the swipe up twice gesture to bring my app drawer up. There is also no recents bar on first swipe up. Switching back to stock launcher makes it work again. Does anyone know a workaround to get it working on custom launchers?
I got the recent with APEX launcher but not the app drawer.
Be aware not all apps are completely optimised yet for P
I use Nova works for me. I only use the single swipe up function for apps. How is it even possible without using 2 fingers to double swipe up?
I'm using Nova as well, 6.0 beta 1.
First swipe up on pill gives me overview apps.
Second swipe up or long swipe do nothing.
So, I just set the home pill to open the app drawer ?
So, two quick taps on the pill and I'm in the app drawer.
From what I've read this is because the new app drawer is contained in the launcher itself.
I would like to use the pixel launcher
On my phone with Nova 6.0 beta3, single swipe up from the dock, not the pill, will bring up the apps. Single swipe from the pill brings up recents. My phone is on Pie, locked and unrooted.

AOD + knock off with Nova

Have searched, but don't see this exact solution:
I want to use Nova launcher, and be able to use the "knock off" to turn off the screen, but also use "always on display" -probably me that's confused -If I use Nova's own built in gesture to turn off the screen (double tap), AOD doesn't come on, as well as 3rd party "double tap to lock screen" apps -ultimately, would be able to use Nova as my launcher, double tap to lock screen, have always on display come on, wake with fingerprint scanner.
Thanks for any help
AOD has nothing to do with Nova Launcher. You can use double tap to sleep in Nova however if you're not rooted the screen will dim first before total screen off and if you touch you're screen it will turn on again. lol
Much better if you're rooted to be able to directly put the screen off when using double tap to sleep in Nova.

Thanks! I guess I wasn't giving it enough time/delay after double tapping the screen off with Nova for AOD to appear -didn't make sense that it would be incompatible, as it isn't

That's why I always root my phone to for the D2S to work properly in Nova.
But until now there's no root yet for H870DS variants. :crying:
