Wanam xposed. Tweak is available to turn flashlight on by holding volume up when screen is off. Works well

Wanam works as mentioned, but personally I had better experience with XuiMod. The lock screen torch in XuiMod works during the lock screen and let's you choose which button you would like, I have mine set to the Home button. Lot easier and more responsive than Wanam from my experience.

I've got my set up on the Volume button with Wanam as well. Great experience on my end, fast, responsive - allows a timeout to auto turn off if you'd like.

What's a best app/widget to put a power button on your homescreen that'll put your tab to sleep? The ones that I've seen mentioned so far are Tap Tap App, Screen Off and Lock, AnyUnlock and Screen Off.
Any thoughts on which one is the best? Also, being able to wake it up with the volume rocker would be a nice option.

Quick boot.
Widgetsoid includes a nice lock widget and a reboot widget, I haven't seen anything that's expressly sleep though.
I am using button savior.

LockMyDroid
You could always use MY app, LockMyDroid.
The advantages are that it's an app instead of a widget so it offers many more ways to lock your screen. Examples:
Set it as the 'Action' for the Clock Tap in FancyWidgets
Add a shortcut to your homescreen
Hold the Home button, if it was one of the last 8 apps used (always is for me) you can lock your phone from that menu
Long-press the 'Search' button on your phone
Launch from app drawer and lock your phone

While you're at it, you could try the new Live Wallpaper that I just put on the market which I fashioned from my failed Google I/O contest entry

I use minimalistic text to call on screen off and lock.
So I touch the word lock and the screen goes out with an old TV tube animation, gingerbread style on froyo.

There is an option in gravity box that toggles it by pressing on the lockring.

i already tested this option but it's not exactly what we want.
With gravity you have to push the power button to go to the lock screen and then push another button (e.g home or volume down) to switch on the Flashlight.
the wanted option is also on the Sense 5 Toolbox xposed modules but i don't think it will work on the GPE
Well i use a custom kernel with s2w and that makes it a lot easier. So you want to toggle it without turning on the phone?
Not sure about toggling without turning on the screen, but Cyanogenmod ROMs support this from the lock screen.
Under settings >Lock screen > Button actions > Long press Home button, set this to Flashlight.
Hopefully someone else can post more information regarding doing this while the screen is switched off.
Exactly

Got you PM and I have thrown the parts of Sense 5 Toolbox responsible for this mod into a new tiny mod. Can you guys test it please and if it doesn't work send me the Xposed log? Thanks
Thanks, I have just tested it but it's not working. When I press the power off button to switch off the screen, the screen is going off but push it again, the screen stay black. I had to long press the power button to reboot the device. In xposed I only have two lines :
Code:

Loading Xposed v42 (for Zygote)...
Loading modules from /data/app/de.langerhans.xposed.powerflashge-1.apk
Loading class de.langerhans.xposed.powerflashge.XMod
For now, I have to de activate the module in xposed

Using an app called Torchie, just press both 'volume buttons' together to turn on/off torch anytime. It runs as a background service and just works anytime, even when screen off (if enabled from Torchie Settings). It kinda make your phone feel like a conventional battery operated torch. No root required.

Hey all I was wondering if there was an app where we can double tap the home button and it brings the top half of the screen down so that way we can reach buttons easier. The iPhone six has this feature and I think it would come in handy on all big phones like the iPhone six.
Sometimes when your trying to use the phone one handed you just can't reach the hamburger button on the Play Store.
Nothing major but I'm sure it'll be something that people would use.

Maybe for Xposed once it's released for ART
I know something better. Pie
Just need one to control the hamburger.
It's been working perfectly this whole week with the menu button.

I've tried Pie and I just don't like it. This is why Android should have never abandoned the Menu button.

Swipepad with Nova launcher
when you are adding a pad,go to shortcuts then nova action and then you can pick expand notification bar or/and expand quick settings
Back in the days of the Galaxy Nexus, there was an app to wake the phone by simply sliding your finger from left to right. It required root and a kernel that supports some feature.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...pp-mod-touchcontrol-pgm-galaxy-nexus-t1721895
It saved my power button from wearing out. I hope there will be one available for the S6. :good:
No one interested?
i think a kernel with doubletap to wake feature will be better,
I don't like double tap as it can happen accidentally in the pocket and no custom kernels for the s6 for now.
I miss my doubleTaptoWake feature from my G2. I would be so excited if someone could make this happen

I have slide to wake using nova launcher and secure settings.
In nova settings go to gesture settings - slide up (or any gesture you prefer) - secure settings - lock device.
Yoy can even apply it to just one icon instead of full screen

That's slide to lock, not the same thing as slide to wake when the device is off. Also, there are some apps that can lock the screen with a single tap.

Can't flash custom kernels on s6.
Hi!
I'm wondering if I can lock my device without pressing the power button. In my galaxy s9+, I used the "custom navigation bar" app to add an invisible power button to the navigation bar, but this app CRASHED my note9!!!!
I spent 2 hours trying to solve the issue without losing my apps and stuff, successfully. Now I want to use another way to save my power button.
I installed an app called "home launcher" to use the home long press to call another app instead of google search, but every app to lock screen causes the fingerprint sensor to stop working without password.
I miss my old Xiaomi Mi 6
Someone knows how to do this?
you can install an app called "turn off screen (lock screen)" by redmanit from the play store. it gives you the option to put an icon on the homescreen or from your notifications drop down, press it and it'll lock your phone in 5 seconds. this is the only app i know of that works with the note 9's android 8.1
Nova launcher can do it as far as I know.
Installed a 3rd party screen off app. Using the widget Extended Date which then gives you the settings to show time/date/week/day/etc. There's a function to link to any app in this case screen off. Thus touching the date switches off the screen. Been using this setup way back when I still had my Note 2. Still works (both the screen off app and the widget).

Turn on the Assistant Menu. That has a lock button that will turn your screen off. It will not "lock" your phone, just turn off the screen. Screen locks @ whatever you've set as the lock out time (screen locks "x" number of seconds after pressing power button). If you want to "lock" it instantly, requiring password to open, I use Nova Launcher and a screen input gesture. That locks it instantly and requires, I think, your password - not your fingerprint.
See screenies for info.

you can use OHO+ without goodlock though, if you only need the lockscreen gesture.
OHO+ is a "standalone" app, luckily.
