Hello friends, I am Naveen Naushad, an indie Android developer from India. I developed this app for G3, with which you can change the Volume button launch apps when the phone is locked, that too without root access.
Some Reddit users tested it on V10 as well and have confirmed it is working correctly. You will be able to modify the Volume Up action to toggle flashlight, launch a different app (instead of QuickMemo+) or even open a custom launcher shortcut. Unfortunately Volume Down cannot be changed as LG hardcoded it to launch camera, starting from Lollipop. Most people are ok with that as they need to change QuickMemo+ only.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apptuners.keyplusapp
Requirements:
Stock LG ROM (or ROMS based on it)
QuickMemo installed and working properly
Not compatible with official flip case
Request:
If you like the app, please rate, review and +1 it at Google Play Store. That will increase the visibility of the app tremendously.
Confirmed. (On Verizon V10) Works nicely with the flashlight toggle. Even with the fingerprint lock. (Need to tap lock button, then vol up button twice to toggle) TYVM!
I really like the idea of this app! Would be nice to have the flashlight up there.

Very handy, thanks!

Thanks works great.just a tap and a slight hold on the up button and it works great.
Works great on my G3, will try it out on my V10 here tomorrow when I get it!
Works great, I use my flashlight a ton, so useful!!

Works on my F600k for the flashlight !
Thanks so much .
Thanks! Just a heads up for anyone else who may experience this: you have to have quickmemo installed to set this up. After unlocking my bootloader it was not installed by default. Had to download it via LG updates before double tapping up worked to give me a program association dialog. Additionally, freezing quickmemo afterwards caused the button to stop working again.
Didn't work on my AT&T V10 H900.
Now after revoking administrative rights and uninstalling app shortcut buttons won't work at all anymore , it won't launch camera or capture.

That shouldn't be happening as the app does not modify any system file (as it does not have root access).
Were default shortcuts (Camera and QuickMemo) working before you installed Key Plus? Also can you check the in Settings whether Shortcut keys are enabled?

Affirmative, both. And the fact that I'm not rooted I and it doesn't use root is what makes this so odd. Not sure what to make of this.

:good: Installed and working just fine on my AT&T V10. Not sure what happened here.
Working on my AT&T v10 right out of the box also .
Great app. Meager donation sent.
Thank you. No donation is meagre. Considering only less than 1% of users have donated, it is a big deal.
Got it. Works well. This was something I was missing from Xposed and I honestly haven't wanted to install Xposed this go around.
I know we have it in that little second screen but this just makes it so much easier since it's based on the physical buttons I can do it in the dark... Lol.
I donated as well. I feel like it's worth it. Thanks friend!

I have it working with my V10 H961N..... very thoughtful app! I hated that the only option for the short cut was quickmemo.
Thanks for this app, it's great.
One issue I am having though is now when I hit the quick memo button on my second screen, my flashlight turns on and then only way to get it off is to turn off the screen and double tap your shortcut. Not a deal breaker.

Unfortunately that issue is something that can be debugged only with a V10 in hand. I have been trying to find someone with the phone here but the fact that it has not been released in India, makes it difficult.
Hi there,
I'm using a Lock Screen app for ages now.
it's an app that turns off the screen without having to press the physical power button.
This one, for example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wq.lockscreen
The issue started since installing the lock screen app and now I can't unlock the phone using my finger print, but only using the pattern. I tried several apps now and none of them worked for me. Only when I uninstall the app the finger print function works flawlessly..
Does anyone here came across this king of issue and found a solution ?
Thanks, guys !

There is a setting for "Smart lock and Nexus imprint" Says Experimental. Works every time for me.
It's a mm issue, not your hardware or software.
The confirmed workaround is use root and nova prime gesture to lock ie double tap/swipe down or up etc. Nova launcher prime is on a sale now too, double goodness

I'm using Nova for along time now, i know there's an option to add a gesture in order to lock the screen, but it doesn't work like any other app i've tried. I don't have root yet on my device, but Nova hasn't asked me for root either.

I'm not sure how it works without root. Give it a try though. It works the same as other lock apps except you're using nova gestures in the home screen.
That's the problem here, all other lock apps can't make it work.
Iv'e tried with Nova now, same issue :\

Any app that offers a real screen off without lock function (which wouldn't interfere with Imprint) needs root to do so.
Nearly all of the apps that provide a screen off function without root use the same API method which by design or oversight on the part of Google overrides both Nexus Imprint unlocking and Smart Lock settings on 5.x devices.
There is a Google Issue tracker thread here - star if this design decision/oversight irritates you - https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=191955
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iglint.android.screenlockpro has a working method but it is really just smoke and mirrors, not a true screen off action.
All it does is temporarily reduce the screen timeout to a minimum value (10 seconds) and sets a black screen overlay until the screen has naturally turned off. It works fine unless you invoke the shortcut and decide within 10 seconds that actually you wanted your screen on.
Nova can't do it with it's standard method either.

If you already use an automation app like Tasker or MacroDroid along with Secure Settings (I prefer MacroDroid) it's pretty easy to emulate the https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iglint.android.screenlockpro workaround and add some extra functionality to cancel the delayed real screen off if you decide you want to interact with the device in the few seconds after activating
Basically the steps are:
Use Secure Settings to set screen timeout to 1 millisecond (this actually results in a 7 second screen time out)
Set brightness to minimum
Set a 100% screen dim
Set Immersive Mode (MacroDroid doesn't support this natively dunno about Tasker - but there are apps that support this via intent so doable).
Reverse the above when the Screen off system broadcast is received and on whatever trigger event you like - I've got a proximity sensor wave to wake set up anyway via MacroDroid so just use that.
What bothers me so far is the message to split the app on the screen when we open the recent ones. :good::crying:

I only get that message when I press and hold an app for a while in recent apps. Not when I only open it. Is that the problem?

Same "problem" (more of a slight annoyance) here. The message is always showing there when I open the recent apps menu.
It disappears if you disable one finger navigation with gestures over the fingerprint sensor.
Before you ask, you can't have one without the other.

That also bothered me. But it went off by itself. Have used multi window 2 - 3 times and it finished with the recent button long press, and it was suddenly gone.

Actually the message was showing with one finger navigation enabled AND disabled. But after entering and exiting the split screen view a few times like suggested above it disappeared, even with one finger navigation on. So no more annoying message :good:

This is not a bug, it's a feature
It's a help message that tells people of the new Android feature (otherwise, how would the average Joe know of this gesture?), the same as with the help messages in the app drawer of old versions of Android. It goes away after you use multiwindow a couple of times.

Hello folks!
So, while was setting the phone, i discover Motion Launch Gestures.
Well after tried it, I realized that there isn't any double tap to lock/unlock, but only a double tap to see notifications on the lockscreen.
The fact is that I don't like to use always the power button to lock the device
I've tried nova launcher for the double tap to lock feature, but if you use fingerprint to unlock, it request the pin (a security purpose on Android)
So I digged on the web and I found an app that allow you to use fingerprint to lock the phone.
Plus it doesn't require the pin after you unlock with fingerprint.
Let's begin!
★ Requirements ★
These apps don't require a rooted phone
★Instructions★
Download the two apps from Play Store (link below)
doubleHome, to use double tap on fingerprint to turn off the screen (it will show you 2-3 seconds of black screen before the phone lock)
Nougat Quick Settings, to enable power toggle on quick settings, so you don't need to use power button any more
These apps are pretty explanatory itself, so I don't write any "how-to".
Just set right permissions and config as your choice.
I've also enabled "ringtone mode" on quick settings to change vibration on/off.
So I hope you guys enjoy this and feel free to comment any others doubts/tips/tricks!
I know that root/unlock bootloader will make this muuuuch more easier.
But for now i'll keep my phone stock (it's so hard because I see many great devs here ), so i thought to share this to people like me.
Thanks mate! Much appreciated
Useful,thanks for sharing :good:

I've tried nova as well, but then you need to download also a clock widget (the one that comes with theme, that i love so much, doesn't work), plus the free version is limited.
Anyway yes, using a launcher with gesture will do the same

I just found a few options. A lock widget and a floating widget home button (It can save you from sending fingerprints in to the spy agency of your country).
Home floater (also see screenshot) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skyarmy.floatinghomebutton
Screen lock requires to be device administrator
(screen off/put away phone preceding action)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.m2t.locker.widget
Hi. I had the same dilemma but I found a better way to do the locking the screen without pressing the home button.
I’m sure you guys heard about the app “GREENIFY”. It is actually useful. Well at least for me. It autohibernates apps and it will stop any apps running in the background and will put your phone to sleep. It is now available to non rooted phones so it became handy.
So after you download the app, there is a create shortcut option in the app which will create an icon in your home screen. So if you press the app shortcut, it will sleep and hibernate your phone. Also, it is a great app for saving battery.
Then if you would like to wake your phone up, you can just use the fingerscanner.
I hope it helps.
doubleHome is an amazing app!
Thank you!
Thanks for recommending that double tap app. But still don't understand why should I need installed that quick settings app customers double tap works for me fine without that second app...

I was referring to "Power off/Restart" quick toggle, so you don't have to press the power button fot that.
Anyway that app got updated, and I don't see that toggle anymore (I'm on Oreo)
Oh so, now understand.
And is any solution to turn off vibration when unlocking? I mean without root.

You can turn off that option under "Fingerprint scanner" setting.
On Oreo I have that Don't remember on nougat..
It looks like on Nougat missing that option. And another thing I would like to say: after lock that way my phone after few minutes require again input pin code.. that's bad

If you want to turn your phone off without using the power button, then you can use "edge sense"... It enables you to do so either by short or long squeeze...
Hi all. New on this phone, I've searched for this but could not find, so maybe someone here could help me. Is there a gesture to quickly turn off screen (had a gesture on my old nexus that was double tapping home button)?
Thanks in advance!
You could try 'Edge sense plus' (check the play store) to use the squeeze function to turn off the screen instead of launching the assistant. Personally I use nova launcher and swipe up to turn off the screen.
I'm sure there are other alternatives as well, but that's my 2 cents
I use the app called edge gestures on the play store. Works very well for me!

Is that the app that costs 1,77? Wich are the possible gestures for screen off?
Do you have the possibility to use the fingerprint sensor to turn screen off?

Yeah it does cost some money but I can't remember exactly how much. There is a native screen lock option for Android 9+ and I don't think there is any fingerprint gesture. It's primarily for the edges of your screen.

You could try turning on accessibility menu in the accessibility settings if you don't mind having a small icon to the right of the pill at the bottom of the screen. When you click it, there are several options given and lock screen is one. It's not a simple gesture swipe or a simple double tap but it may be an option.

Tried that, and it works, it appears a person button, and when you press it, it gives a lot of options, and the lock screen is one of them. I will keep using until a easier solution if found. I can not believe android will not include a gesture option for this by default.
I hate to have to press a button to lock the screen, they end up breaking/wearing so fast.
Thanks all for your responses, and other solutions are welcome. Cheers! :good:

Forgot to mention though that with it, when you open the camera app, you'll get this '5 second burst' label on the screen that some find annoying but I, for one, don't mind it.
Oh and when you're down and feeling blue, that small person icon seems to be ready to give a hug so just look at your phone. Hahaha

Thanks, but looking for gestures apps or ways to lock the screen.
Check this widget out. It is invisible and adds double tap to lock functionality to any launcher.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jordigordillo.dtswidget
Works without root in Android P or with root in Oreo and lower. In both cases, fingerprint unlocking works afterwards.
