Ambient Display double tap or on raise? - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

Is there a way to get the ambient display to show when I pick up the phone or on double tap like some other devices do?
Thanks

try Ambi-Turner apk on google play store.

Thanks, but doesnt seem to do anything with this phone...

i'm using donate version, it unlock option for "wave to wake" and "pick-up to wake", works well and no excessive battery drain.

On the Mi A1?
The standard version has pick up to wake (and pull out of pocket) - neither did anything for me (i did get the notification to say it was running as Pushbullet sent to my computer)

yes on Mi A1, wave gesture work without problem but pickup to wake works only on paid version after enabling "tilt and lift to wake option", in any case it is not much reactive but work.
An alternative can be "always on amoled" apk, it have an option to replace ambient display function or wait until custom rom come out.

@fdc77 does the double tap to wake option work in Ambi-turner as well? Since you already have the donate version, would you mind to check?

@Localhorst86
HI, DT to wake does not work, it is a feature that must be implemented at kernel level, so only with a custom kernel it can be eventually enabled.

Theirs a app called touch control that will let you slide at the bottom to sleep and has other
things such as double tap to wake or slide to wake pretty cool app to have its on the play store
Install Screen off and Lock from Play and set a double tap to launch 'Screen Off' under Nova>Gestures...>Double tap>Apps.
Thanks

The new LG G2 has "knock knock" double tap to turn screen on and off, but installing a launcher like Nova disables the ability to turn the screen off with double tap, as that is one of Nova's native gestures. Using "Screen of and Lock" was a great solution to getting this back as a means to turn off the screen. It is useful on the LG G2 because the power button is now located on the back of the phone.
Thanks

Thank you so much. That works great.
I have an s3 running slimkat 4.4 but I also have nova launcher, for me the double tap is over the camera/brightness sensor and that makes it sleep.
Cheers,
Nick
Great fix

Oh my god this is amazing for my G3. I didn't even think of this. Thanks!
Some ROMs like C-ROM and LiquidSmooth have the "Screen Off" shortcut, so you don't have to download a 3rd party app. Gestures > Double Tap > Actions > Screen Off
I'm on Purity 4.4.4 and the double tap to sleep on the statusbar has been one of the most handy features so far. You can save your power button on any screen, not just the desktop.
Mahdi ROM also has this feature, as well as different custom kernels
Sadly on the N4 to have slide2wake you will need some compromises like touchscreen remaining active during call when s2w enabled.
To enable it flash hellscore kernel latest and trickster mod or swipe2wake from play store.
Be aware of the active touch durng calls

Double tap for ambient display?

Is it possible to double tap the device's screen when it's off for the ambient display?
The pick up gesture doesn't always work, and I would rather have it be a action I can do to make it ALWAYS work.
Thanks in advance.
My understanding is that double tap to wake is a hardware requirement (that the 6p doesn't meet). But if you use your first to 'tap it' hard enough you should trigger the gyroscope to wake it

Nexus 6p has double tap to wake feature build in but you have to have root go activate it. I use it all the time and always works so I think it's not a hardware feature, someone just has to port it over or something

I'm using it too, but I did think it would be great if it worked like double-tap-to-ambient-display. That is, doesn't wake it fully just do the same like when lifting it. But didn't have the time to look through the kernel source yet.

You can get tap to wake with a custom kernel like the one I'm using on my stock rooted N6p. Try EX Kernel it's awesome!

But that wakes the phone fully, not in ambient mode.
I would like the ability to turn on screen saver on double tap or to have the ambient display on all the time. I like how my Wife's S7 shows the clock all the time.
Just slide it a little on the table it will turn on. Mine always does that... sometimes piss me off...lol

Within Tasker You may use "autonotification" for that, I've posted an example here:
"Unlock from AOD without pressing power"
**EDIT**
autonotification not required anymore, plain vanilla Tasker is sufficient (link target updated)
Jut found another way to turning screen on without even touching the device (you still need to put your finger on the detector to unlock after that).
It's in accessibility settings -> "Dexterity and interaction" -> "Easy screen turn on"
Excerpt from official user guide:
Easy screen turn on
Turn on the screen by moving your hand above the sensor at the top of the device. You can
turn on the screen without pressing a key. When you use this feature, place the device on
a flat surface with the screen facing upwards or hold the device securely to prevent it from
moving.
On the Apps screen, tap Settings → Accessibility → Dexterity and interaction, and then tap
the Easy screen turn on switch to activate it.

This allows a nearly "Motorola type" experience (without the same level of sensitivity due to the lack of IR detectors though). Simply have to wave your hand over the screen.

How do you do it? I'm not able to make it turn on with my hand.

It works flawlessly for me, I don't really see how to explain better: just need to approach my hand near the top of the screen (where the presence detector is located). No really need to wave, just sufficiently close and the locks screen show up instead of AOD.

Xperia Xz Premium Douple Tap to Wake (DT2W)

Fellows
I just saw this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnU6xMP8wmg
in which it said that SONY XPERIA XZP don't have DT2W feature!
can anyone confirm that? may be he was using unfinished version of the xzp...
its usually under SETTINGS>> DISPLAY >> TAP TO WAKE
please confirm
dt2w will be deal breaker for me! i won't buy if this feature is missing!!
sorry but i can't see the option in my display settings...
I can also confirm that this beautifull phone doesn't have DT2W
I will try to include tap to wake in my kernel. (after I receive my XZP...)
In fact, there is config for tap to wake and I think this can re-enable it if there is no hardware limitation.

GG!!! This means we'll have root goodies under your Tmark hehe. Without diverting too much from the topic, any clues on TA backup? Using this beauty without root (and hopefully Xposed soon) is half the joy.
@YasuHamed P.S. Double tap to sleep is also gone - that's on home.apk, but they might make a comeback on the next update.
On second thoughts
I am gonna buy this fone
Unlock it flash the kernals do the dt2w thing. Exactly the way i did woth my c6602
Btw, no news on ta.img yet
There is no known exploit or xposed on 7.x.x
I wonder if the Double Tap To Wake function can be accessed via ADB or someting else without root...

if in next version of Xperia HOME, tap to sleep and tap to wake are there, then there is no need to play around
my guess is that because it wasn't working in XZ perfectly, where some time devices were not able to wakeup until you wait little longer for screen to sleep, they have removed it,
some one need to tell sony engineers! or who ever is the master mind of sony stock android for devices!
in 2017 the trend is
1. more ram
2. gestures features! ( camera, torch , tap to wake)
3. hide/ unhide navbar ( i.e physical touch navbar)
4. whatelse?
Is DT2W included in the latest rom?

No.
Currently only my custom kernel can enable it.
Myabe Sony will re-enable DT2W when their problem (I don't know exactly) is fixed.
I wonder how much that feature, making the tactile layer constantly waiting for a signal is battery consuming..

Wake with softkey or double tap

I would to buy this phone. There is a way (with root or mod) to wake it with the double tap or with "double tap on softkey" or similar?
I've a Nexus 5X, the rear fingerprint sensor is helfulp when I've the phone in hand, but useless when it's on the desk. I use elementalx with dt2w and smart lock (with my huawei watch) to unlock it.
Is there a similar feature on the Mi A1?
No, kernel doesn't support this.

And there isn't a custom kernel because Xiaomi didn't released the kernel sources, it is?
You can always turn on display with "wave over proximity sensor" gesture (several apps available). I find it more convenient than double tap, especially when I have my phone on a desk stand.

So far there's only one other kernel, ported from a different device but it's not fully working and especially not as daily driver.
