TouchControl alternative - Nexus 4 Themes and Apps

Since TC has stopped developing is there any good alternative?
I know, that some kernels support tap to wake, but I'm looking for a solution in both cases, wake and lock.
Especially I miss slide to wake and slide to lock.
Thanks for help.

Hellscore + hellscore kernel manager works like touch control
For locking the screen I use a navbar shortcut

What? When did that happen (and why)?
edit: The app page is still up and running (for now) but I just noticed it wasn't there when searching the play store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.paranoid.touchcontrol
edit2: Seems like it's only available if you bought the app.

Yes, you can bought app, but it's offically end of dev. So there won't be any updates...
Ok, maybe works with 4.4 on franco, but not with other kernels...

I'm also looking for an alternative app without switching to other kernels. I'm on Franco now

It's based on Franco 209, works great, I can tell you it's even better then TC - Better battery and easier to disable !

No cwm flashable zip? Need to flash through fastboot....

Yeah, but as I see, this is only dobule tap to wake.
I'm looking for slide to lock/wake...all in one app.
Touch control was great for that...

Soft keys??

Is there any way, or app that I can use to alert me via soft keys when new text messages arrive?
Thanks in advance

Of course, assuming you are on gingerbread and have a kernel that supports BLN.
app is BLN control
I am on ICS running the IML74K_Ics_Perfection II rom. I tried to install the Synergy kernel but ended up with a boot loop. Any ideas on how to remedy this issue or point me in the correct way.

Bud, you can't run gingerbread kernels on ICS. Which also means you can't have softkey notification on ICS. Flash aN ICS kernel and you'll be fixed.
From what I recall synergy is a gb kernel. U cannot use a gb kernel with an ics rom. Until source code is released, u have to pick. Either no ics, and bln control works, or use ics and forgo bln until source comes out
Thanks!
You can try an app called Noled, it doesnt use softkeys though. It uses the screen to light up icons.

I use BLN pro (ofcourse with a compatible kernel and a GB rom).
It's pretty neat and can be configured for your sofkeys to blink at a custom rate(I set mine at half a second off and on) so it looks like regular leds. Some iphone users think its pretty legit!
Only reason I have yet to switch to ICS is because of no BLN support, no OC and no DOCK audio

[DEV/WIP] doubletap2wake & swipe2wake

Hello,
I'm currently implementing doubletap2wake and swipe2wake into the stock unsecured kernel.
If someone could help, that would be great. My C/C+ experience = 0%.
So if you guys have tips or source, help is always welcome!
Thanks,

And better if possible via kernel SysFS,not an app.A module like sweep2wake(the one from Showp1984) would be better!And not closed source like PGM is..sadly

yes ! exactly ! open source is the way to go besides pgm no longer supports newer kernels for 4.3 (only stock no trace and trace methods are supported ) which i guess some kernel developers dont use. anyways please make it open source if possible

I can imagine, with 0% C/C++ experience, it is somewhat of an uphill.

Here is an implementation for Nexus7 (2013)
https://github.com/flar2/flo/tree/ElementalX
Something to work with perhaps?
Cheers,
/J
I'd check @faux123 git. He's done this for a few devices with settings to turn on and off in his app.
Anybody still working on? Got a few thoughts.
A good place to start would be to look up the "gpm hack" and "gpm mouse" in duckduckgo. I think there is a lot of good stuff you'll find. Another thing to get familiar with is parsing the output of /dev/input/event* and the builtin touch screen emulation with android's "input" command line function, "input touchscreen" to be more exact.
Shameless bump, but is someone still interested in this?
I Am!

Double Tap To Wake feature

Hi all
I want to ask about the possibility of getting the "Double Tap To Wake" feature on our ZL
Recently I've flashed android Lollipop on my zl and rooted my device
the only thing I'm missing now is this feature
Thank you
You can just install xposed and use double tap notification area to sleep.

Actually, it does... Still in alpha stage, but functional, with quite a few modules available for LP. There is a lot of info available on this topic.
But speaking of DTTW - from what I know, it is a kernel functionality, and can't be done using Xposed, anyway.
Double Tap to Wake works in Cyanogenmod
(It's a Kernel feature)
Maybe you give it a try, works perfect for me.

I'm thinking of flashing Cyanogenmod 12.1 but I'm waiting for the official release and beside that my phone is with my brother because his Z2 is in the service center (a broken power button) so i have to wait about two weeks to try CM12.1
Thank you

Yes it's in there and working. You can set it in EX kernel manager.
I like sweep to wake better though, though you can set both in elementalX.
Thanks guys. I'll look into it. Just flashed my first ROM on this device and haven't seen the kernels yet. Thank you for the tips

Nougat kernel with screen control?

Hello everyone. I'm thinking to take the leap and go to Nougat from MM, but my g4 suffers from a pretty bad screen burn effect.
On MM I use the superexe kernel work around to regulate screen colours and it's basically solved. Can anyone recommend me a nougat kernel with the same function? I just care for the screen control.

llama kernel + kernel adiutor to see the screen controls or ask me to make a script.
easy to find the thread.
Thanks! I'll give it a try

So apparently the latest llama kernel was pulled from XDA from the author, and even if J manage to find it the Bluetooth doesn't work.
Any other solution?
