I am using Nova Prime and have double tap to lock activated but every now and then I am asked again to turn it on in accessibility. Anyone know why?

Is it possible to do so?
I like the double tap screen off feature in LG's software but really hates the default icons. If I use Nova launcher to replace the icons, I will not have the default double tap screen off.
I can still use Nova's double tap gesture to activate a screen off app, however that will not work with the smart (location) unlock feature in lollipop and I will need to enter my pin everytime.
I double tap the status bar in Nova and it still turns off the screen.
I use Nova Launcher combined with Screen Off And Lock. I set Nova's double tap gesture to Screen Off And Lock. Nova with double tap on and off.

I am using that too. But it will instantly lock the screen even if I'm on smart lock mode.
The default icons are among the worst I have seen. Amazing you cannot install icon packs.
Idk what you guys are talking about but I was able to install an icon pack without a third party launcher. Go to settings>home screen>theme

So glad I'm no longer with Verizon.
I just might have to go back to good old proven GO Launcher and then set my OWN icons and get notifier numbers over the app icons and set a slew of other settings. I was hoping to not have to use a launcher just so I could avoid the added layer of a launcher but... no dice with the stock setup.
Long press on icon and you should be able to change them individually.... After the icon is selected with a purple paintbrush, tap it one more time and choose a downloaded icon.

Hi guys, I got my leather G4 today, very happy about it My question is what launcher do you guys use and any general tips in handling the phone? Also what kind of cover/screen protector should I buy for it?
Have a good day!
Its up to you. Experiment and see what you like. I like Nova Prime. As for protection, I like this leather backed phone naked
+1 for Nova Prime.

What do you guys think about L Launcher?
Nova is super fast, but it doesn't work with smart bulletin. I'm sticking with the stock launcher.
Nova Prime here too. I wanted to stick with the stock launcher for the smart features, but I just couldn't.
I'm going to give the stock launcher a week before I go back to Nova Prime. I just like the customization from Nova to much.
Anyone know if the Smart Clock still works on Nova?

Nothing OEM specific works with anything but OEM launcher. That's not LG-specific, but how all the OEM's operate. The only way to get an OEM-specific widget/app to work on a non OEM-launcher is to have someone export the APK or flash file to install/flash on non OEM launchers.
Nova... So fast and neat

Using nova prime but just noticed that my stock messaging app gives me an error when using it. It says "app is not installed". Anyone else?
There's a thread about that. It seems that it applies especially to the Verizon model. I don't use the stock messenger app, so I don't know.
L Launcher is always the best

I've been using Lucid Launcher Pro for as long as I can remember now (G4 since day 1 and when I still had my SGS5). I love it and can't recommend it enough.
I'm looking for a launcher for my G4 that supports the double tap screen on and off feature. I miss the customization of apex.
Edit... I figured a work around[emoji1]
Forme : it's stock lg or Apex....
On lauchers it's extremely rare to have the option for to move apps as we want on the drawer !!!! it's so much useful for me !
All stocks homes can do this (lg ui , s-touchwiz....)
And Nova prime doesn't have this option i believe...
i prefer so much to have functional options ...but lots of "style" options, no...
I second that, @jbdan
there's a zooper widget that emulates the smart notice

You might as well say what you did, posts like "nvm figuered it out" are not exactly well received in forums, especially by those who land here through Google.
I might elaborate on this as well:
If you are rooted, you can use GMD GestureControl (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodmooddroid.gesturecontrol&hl=de)
To configure it to lock the screen on double tap, you need the paid version though. I bought the app because I seriously dig gesture control.
Without root, you can for example use Nova Prime. The paid version allows you to use gestures like double tap.
Now, regardless which of those apps you use, you configure a double tap gesture to launch an app. Screen Off and Lock (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=de) for example.
When the screen is on or off but still locked, the stock double tap feature will still work, screen just needs to be locked. I use Nova Prime, "double tap to turn off" doesn't work with it, but "double tap to turn on" does.
btt: I combined Nova Prime with Popup Widget (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.popupWidget&hl=de), I can swipe over icons to launch a specific widget, which is really awesome.
Guys any idea on how to get the battery, storage and app management short cuts that are available in the "Management" folder on the default launcher home screen on a third party launcher like nova or Google launcher
For me nova prime is the best.
I have an lg g3 and i really want to try to use a custom lock screen. without rooting. however as we all know the tap to lock function ceases to work if you change the lock screen. any suggestions? im sure this is already covered but i was wondering if there was a lock screen out there that has gestures so like with nova launcher. you can just enable a lock the screen or turn off the screen app.
I am aware of this. Could you rephrase your statement? as it does not really answer my question. I'm not using the stock launcher. I'm using nova launcher. I know that you can use a non stock launcher and still tap the screen but for the lock screen you have to tap the notification bar if you want to use a non-stock lockscreen. What I want to do see if there is a way around it
i have been a long term user of nova prime (ever since 1st release)
I recently bought the note 20 ultra, and dicovered a bug with nova.
I enabled gestures but when i swipe to go to the homescreen often times the homescreen is just my walpaper, only way to get back my icons is to restart my phone.
has this happen to anyone else? known issue? ETA for fix?
I want to replace the stock MIUI launcher with another one where the fingerprint unlock works.
I have tried Nova, but when trying to unlock with fingerprint, it says can't work with third party launchers.
Any recommendations, please?
Many thanks.
Up in here bro!
Can't find anything related to the issue, but as I read, 3rd party launchers keep lagging and just don't work as the default MIUI launcher.
Hi,
Really not working with Nova?
I have Mi 10T Pro 5G, with Xiaomi EU ( V13.0.7.0.SJDCNXM ) not Rooted, and working fine with Nova Launcher 8.0.3 Beta.
Of course, fully legal, paid version, nothing warez.
I am with 13.0.3 Taiwan version. also not rooted. I figured out where the problem comes from. When I am using a third party launcher with the double tap to turn off screen gesture, the fingerprint unlock doesn't work. If I remove the gesture, the unlock is fine. I am not sure why, but the default MIUI double tap to wake or turn off screen doesn't work properly. The default wake works, but nothing happens then I double tap to turn it off.
Hi,
Yes, and not.....
So in this case the problem is the lock method, the way how you want to lock / turn off the screen with the Nova...
- With root right
- With accessibility option
The second option will work.
