Convenient utility for android, with which you can easily unlock or lock the screen of the gadget. This free program will extend the life of the standard power button by replacing its functions with a double press. Several types of settings allow you to use the application in different conditions.
Functional:
- This android application includes several additional functions that, one way or another, will find their application. The basic feature is a double tap on the screen activates the power button actions. Other software skills allow you to replace the standard locking capabilities, as well as the use of fingerprints for android version 6 and higher. Support for new firmware from Xiaomi has also been implemented.
Control:
- Interaction with the program is carried out through the settings that are available in the menu. Here you can personalize the application for the convenience of each user. Simple, but at the same time useful functionality, thanks to which you can customize some of the functionality for yourself. Everything is intuitive, so there shouldn't be any problems with using the software.

Registration:
- Simple, concise design makes using the software convenient and comfortable. The dark design gives the utility a unique style.
Smartphone manufacturers are scrambling to distinguish their black box with a screen among hundreds of similar ones. Everything from curved and dual screens to deep software modifications is used. The latter most often only bring performance and compatibility problems, but it happens that programmers manage to come up with something really interesting and useful. But this function usually does not remain exclusive for long - an analogue soon appears.
Always on display
This feature is often available in many smartphones with AMOLED display. Its meaning is to leave a small block of useful information on it instead of completely turning off the screen: time, weather, notifications - who has what.
The same feature can be obtained using the Always on AMOLED app. It has everything that we are offered in the stock firmware, and even more: integration with Greenify, work when Doze mode is on, display rules (only during charging, at a certain battery capacity and / or during a specified interval), locking buttons from clicks and other interesting things.
And it is not at all necessary to keep the screen on all the time. You can activate it only if you swipe your hand in front of the proximity sensor or remove your smartphone from your pocket. Just like the Galaxy S4. The display itself is also configurable when the program is running: you can turn on the display with a double tap or make it not react in any way to touches and button presses.
In general, the application is very decent, but with one huge drawback: it does not allow the smartphone to sleep, which will cause the battery level to drop right before our eyes.

Turning on with a double tap on the screen
Also a very common feature. Many smartphones (primarily LG and OnePlus) allow you to turn on the screen with a double tap and even launch certain applications by drawing symbols on the screen (while the display is off).
Many owners of gadgets with Android OS sometimes forgot the password for unlocking the system. In this article, we will look at various types of unlocks and how to configure them.
Every Android device comes with special protection that you can use to easily prevent unwanted access by other potential users.
This blocking is carried out using a graphic key. Of course, we use this utility very rarely and over time we forget the set password.... As a result, you get a locked device and a headache. But don't be upset, because there are several simple and effective ways to unlock your gadget's screen.
Types of unlocks
There are a decent number of unlocking types, but we will consider the most basic and frequently used ones:
- The first method can be attributed to the initial precaution, which is as follows: in case you forget or lose the password, your smartphone will have the correct code. In order to use this method, you need to install an application called SMS Bypass, go into it, allow it to be used in android and enter a special text that, if necessary, will need to be sent to the gadget. According to the standard, the program uses the following text "1234 reset". As soon as your device receives a message with this text, it will automatically reboot and you will be able to enter a new password by tapping. After performing this operation, all screens will become available.
- The second method is the banal discharge of the Android gadget. As soon as a critical condition occurs, a corresponding inscription will appear on the screen. In this situation, you can go to the "battery status" menu, then go to the "security" tab and disable the screen lock. If you failed to gain access to the screen, then do not despair, because there is another proven method that will suit everyone, without exception.
After several attempts to enter your password, you will be prompted to enter your Google account information.
Surely every Android user has it, since without it it is impossible to download any application for his gadget. After entering your personal data, you can safely turn off the lock by double-clicking on the "cancel" button on the screen and continue using the device.
You can just try calling your smartphone or tablet. When the call is reflected on the screen, cancel it and quickly go to the settings, then double-click in "security" to disable the screen lock. Unfortunately, this method is not available for every device, so it can only be used by a very narrow circle of owners of gadgets with the function of making and receiving calls.
- If none of the proposed methods suit you, then there is nothing else to do but to reflash the gadget and reinstall the android version. But in this case, you will lose all the data that was stored on it from your gadget.
- It is recommended to remove all SIM cards and flash cards before flashing to avoid possible damage. After completing the installation of the system, you can continue to use the gadget, but with absolutely free memory and lost data.
Double-tap lock
Also, with the help of special software, you can set up blocking your Android gadget with a double tap. To do this, use the application - Knock Lock.
After installing and configuring the application, as mentioned above, you can configure the lock of your Android mobile phone to unlock with a double tap.
Screen lock setting
In order to prevent the screen from locking every minute on an android device, there are special settings that will help users to use the most effective protection of the system and critical data from unauthorized access. In standard mode, in the settings, it is enough to enable the protection pattern. When composing your password, use at least four dots.
The more points are involved, the less likely it is that your device will be unlocked. After enabling this function, instead of the usual unlocking of the android gadget, a table with dots will appear, where you need to enter the invented key-password.
With this function, you can block not only access to the screen, but also to other important folders. To do this, it is enough to "fail" in the additional settings of system protection and select the necessary folders from the proposed folders. So, you can protect personal data and passwords of social networks and accounts, important documents, telephone directory and much more.
It is worth noting that each version of android has its own list of folders for protection. Naturally, the latest versions have the most advanced one. With these simple steps, you can reliably protect your device from unwanted access by others.

Hello Mi-fans! Many smartphones have a double tap function. This allows users to "wake up" their smartphones or put them in lock mode. This is preferred by those who don't like pushing buttons all the time. When it comes to Android devices, most of them have a "Power" key on the top of the case or on the left. But, most are looking for other options for unlocking the screen. If you agree with the above, then you probably dream of a more convenient screen wake-up.

Once turned on, you can turn on the screen by pressing and releasing the proximity sensor. If you still have any questions, watch the video for details on The Greenify and Apex Launcher. One of the simplest tricks to enable the sleep / wake command on your phone is to root it. For the app to allow you to use a simple "double-tap" gesture to control your device, it needs root access.

Once you've downloaded and installed the app data, follow these steps: Launch the Apex app and go to Settings. Select Options, then select Desktop. In the next menu, select Launch Shortcut and wait. Select on-screen Hibernate & Lock and close the application. Now that you have changed all the settings in the Apex Launcher, you will need to use Greenify. It will help you unlock the screen so that you can freely use it normally. When you selected the Hibernate & Lock option in the first application, Greenify should automatically launch a window to ask for your permission. When this happens, do the following: Wait for the information window to pop up and read it; Check the option in the Greenify section "Automator" and click "Activate." The menu should say: "Allow Greenify to turn off the screen immediately after automatic hibernation." whenever you want to disable this option and return to using the "Power" button, you can simply launch Greenfy and go to the same menu as before. Once in settings, click "Deactivate" and you're done. Knock Lock. Regardless of whether your "Power" key works or not, or you are just tired of moving your fingers to / from / back, you can easily get rid of this problem. Thanks to a simple app called Knock Lock, you can quickly enable double-tap on any Android device running Android 4.0 above. The nice thing is that it doesn't require ROOT access.

Click "Open lock settings" and click the "Settings" icon "Adjust the width and height of the spot (where you wake up) and click Save. As you can see from the above, this method will not allow you to use the entire display surface to wake up the phone." However, this will create a specific point, which is usually in the upper left of the screen. The Nova Launcher and The Greenify Another app that works exactly like the Apex Launcher is the Nova Launcher. As with Arech, you will need to use Nova in conjunction with Greenify. Therefore, we stomp on Google Play, look for these applications and install them. When everything is done, then we carry out the following actions: Open Nova Launcher and go to "Settings". Click "Gestures and Buttons" and scroll down to the "Gestures" command. Select " Double click ”and wait for the“ Select Action ”menu to load. Go to "Shortcuts", then click "Sleep" and "Lock Screen."

You can now check if the display is working properly by pressing twice to lock your smartphone. DTSO In conclusion, I would like to tell you about one more application - DTSO. The name stands for Double Tap Screen On / Off and this app works very much like the Knock Lock app. This application allows you to choose which area of the screen you want to enable to wake up the phone and which one you want to activate in sleep mode. The app works on devices running Android 2.3.3 and above. After installing DTSO from Google Play, you must launch the app and go to settings to get started. You will see an option to select a window that you can adjust (size and opacity), as well as the number of clicks required.
