not really what im looking for, double tap on power button opens camera so dont need it on my lockscreen .i just want to put flashlight icon on lockscreen.
thank you , any one know if this is possible without dl another app?

It is possible with the app BxActions. You can choose to double click Bixby button to turn on flashlight on lock screen. I use it

I think you can only put an app shortcut there, and the built-in flashlight isn't an app, it's part of the OS. If you installed a flashlight app from the Play store, you could probably put it on the lock screen.

can you pull the notification down on the lock screen ?? if so, hit the toggle there.

This is trivial to do with root and xposed, does that work for you?

It can now be done with Samsung's Good Lock 2018 app, in the LockStar section of it. You can add up to 6 shortcuts, and flashlight is among the available ones.

[Trick] Quick open camera

I found this trick in one of the tips and tricks videos on youtube and have not seen it mentioned anywhere else so thought maybe many people didnt know about it, since tips and tricks are posted all the time here and there, and every time there are people who didnt know about it.
This one was one of my favorites of the many thare are..... anyways...
push the home button, or the power button when the screen is off WHILE holding the phone in portrait, then place a finger on the lock screen, NOW rotate the entire phone to landscape and walla, camera
Yep, saw that one on one of those annoying tips that pop up every ½ second when you first start up the phone. There is a bunch of stuff you can do if you go into the motion settings

Or I could just swipe the camera at the bottom on the lock screen...lol. I couldn't get this to work. Maybe I don't have it activated.

You dont have to activate it in motion settings. You cant turn it off. You can remove the camera shortcut on the lock screen and put something usefull there

You do and you can. There's an option for Quick Camera Start under Lock Screen Settings.
By the way, I find that the camera crashes if it's in video mode when I launch it via quick-start rotate gesture. But if it's in still-photo mode, or if I launch it by swiping the lock-screen camera icon instead of by the rotate gesture, then it starts normally.

Doesn't crash for me when I use the gesture when the camera is in video mode. I love the gesture and removed the camera quick launch icon.

Camera on lock screen?

Is it possible to enable the camera widget on the lock screen? I wasn't able to find any settings or a widget that I can add manually. I have a stock LGLS990. The camera was the tipping point for buying this phone, so it'd be nice to get the most use out of it.

You can hold down the volume down button while screen is off to quickly launch the camera. Aside from that, there are app shortcuts on an unsecure lockscreen. So if you use a secured lockscreen, the volume down shortcut is your best bet.

This works, thanks! My experience is the screen needs to be on when locked, and then pressing the Volume-Down button will launch the camera. Not as intuitive as swiping the lock screen widgets like Stock AOSP or CM, but still much quicker and more convenient than having to unlock the phone.
or set one of the quick access apps to the camera app :good:

Is There A Screen Off and Lock App ?

Is there a simple app/apk that allows for a single screen tap to close and lock the display, instead of waiting for the screen to timeout or requiring the power button to be pressed? I tried a couple apps, from the Play Store, but uninstalled them. My hope is to avoid needing to use the Power button to shutdown the screen before putting the phone into a pocket or case. I am just setting up the phone today.
i did this with Custom Navigation Bar: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.paphonb.systemuituner

Interesting. will have to give it a try. Thanks.
Try Power Toggles, there is a switch allowing you to lock the screen with one tap. Forgot to check if the result are similar to the one you can get from Nova launcher - with the launcher you can lock the screen using two methods, one locks the phone immediately but prevents you using fingerprint reader to wake up the phone, the other does not have this issue, but actually locks the screen 5 seconds after switching it off. I'll try to check it today and report here.
EDIT: Nope, 5 secs are required.

Power button far to Reach? Try Bixby Button Instead

If you are having difficulty reaching power button to put phone to sleep, you can remap the Bixby button to do so.
Its pretty easy.
You should be on at least XXXXASBA firmware.
Add a quick command in Bixby at Advanced Feature.
Command "Turn off Display".
In bixby remap optipn, select single press and assign the command.
The only drawback is it takes a sec to turn the screen off.
Still, sometimes it better than reaching that Monster's button on top. Enjoy!!
Ah thanks mate, you're a genius. If only they had double tap to lock on the stock launcher

You do have it in launchers like Nova. Couldn't find anything special about OneUi launcher so it took me 0.0001s to make wise decision
Also been using Nova double tap to lock...

You can create a shortcut to lock the screen instead using the same Quick command. Just go to quick command. Select the gear icon next to the command and create the shortcut by selecting Add shortcut to home screen. At least you now get an alternative to double tap on screen.
Double tap to lock screen might also be possible if you use Tasker (I am not sure but I can give it a try)
Thanks, I'm using this now ?
Thanks, this is actually pretty smart.
But I feel like its more for lefties. Still have to reach when holding it in my right hand, so basically makes no difference reaching bixby button or the power button.
If you have "difficulties" reaching the power button... Then you have serious anatomical issues and the phone sl button a is the least of your worries...
Just grab Good Lock, install NavStar and add the screen off button to your navigation bar.
Here's how I have mine set up...
you can use One Hand Gesture+ as well, and set one of the gesture handles to turn off the screen. Simply swipe from either side that you like (similar to how you open Apps Edge) to turn off the screen

GoodLock is not globally available. NiceLock is an alternative though.

Single tap not customizable?
Also "double tap" & "double tap + hold" not working since it always turns screen off since it detects its native action first. Am I doing something wrong?
Edit: Even "hold" sometimes activate native action / display off.
Am I doing something wrong? I used PC method and bought you a coffee

Is Bixbi app setup correctly as stated in setup?
Is power button set to open Bixbi? (see FAQ for details)
Its recommended to connect phone to PC once and start remapping over PC to unlock full potential. Takes less than a minute.

If you use the PC to stert remapping none of this is needed, otherwise you have to setup Bixby

Yeah I did. So it won't fix my issue eather.
So what should I do? Every time I try hold the button to go back it might go back but it turn the screen off aswell
And if I double press to flashlite, it will turn on flash lite and for some reason go to lockscreen so basically it does screen of and instantly screen on. Judging by this it really also register the power button native action as well no matter what I do.
Ps. Is there even a slim chance single press will be programmable later?
