I know Moto has 'Peek Display' but that just keeps waking the phone at the slightest of movements and there's no option to disable motion sensing for it.
Is there a way to get the old school double tap to wake feature that'll show me the lock-screen or some way to make the phone light up when there are new notifications?
In the meanwhile, here's an app that will at least light up your phone when there are new notifications without peek display enabled: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.nullgrad.glimpse&hl=en_IN&gl=US

I've been messing around with this app obsessively for a few days as a possible replacement for the Gear wake-up gesture. The app seems to be great for two things...
1.) Screen turns off immediately as you start to lower your arm instead of the watch having to wait a minimum of 5-7 seconds
2.) Keep Screen ON by Motion option to prevent a screen timeout for as long as you are looking at it.
I've realized however that the "Turn screen on by motion" option uses more energy and is NOT a good replacement for the normal wake-up gesture found in gear settings. The normal wake-up gesture seems to be better optimized for the watch. No matter how many times i've tried to set up Gravity Screen to do the same thing, the angles don't work right and the screen comes on a lot when it shouldn't.
So i've combined the two...using the wake-up gesture of the gear (keeping the "screen on by motion" unchecked in Gravity screen) and utilizing the Screen Off feature and "Keep Screen ON by motion" feature of Gravity Screen. This has worked the best for me.
Here are the settings i use for everthing...
In the Gear settings:
-Set screen timeout to 7 seconds or whatever you prefer (not important if you keep Gravity Screen running all the time)
-Wake-up gesture set to "Last screen viewed".
(I simply turn off Wake-up gesture and pause Gravity Screen before going to bed... Still looking for a way to toggle these actions as a widget without having to go into settings everytime. Possibly tasker could do it? If anybody knows a way please tell me!)
In the Gravity Screen settings from top to bottom:
Pocket Sensor = 90 degrees
Table Sensor = 90 degrees
Keep Screen ON by Motion = checked
Sensitivity set = 100
Booster = checked
Running During Call = checked (your preference)
Notification = checked
Low Priority (hide icon) = checked
Start at boot = checked
(Everything else leave unchecked)
So that's it. Manually turning on/off the screen is always the best battery saver...but if you want to have the automatic wake-up then using either the app or the gear settings by themselves isn't as good on battery as combining the two as I have described. Let me know what you guys think.
Thanks for sharing your findings.
Hey.
I've always had that desire to disable keyboard vibration but only at night. To be quiet around sleeping people.
Is there a way with xposed ?
Or maybe there is a way to create a shortcut or the quick button in the gravity box quick settings that will show up "keypress vibration duration" for google keyboard straight away ?
Or at least a shortcut on the desktop?
I know haptic feedback can be toggled in Tasker which could be triggered by about anything you want such as location, time, desktop shortcut, ambient light, whatever.
Hi has anybody found an app, xposed module or a zip file that adds this feature? All I have been able to finds is ones that wake the entire screen.
Tasker will be your best bet for this (if possible to even wake to Ambient alone). But you can build a profile that will wake on gesture.
After my phone idles flat on a table for 5 seconds at least -I pick it up and the screen wakes. This is a decent feature that I've really liked. But the screen often comes back on even if the phone was never idling. Like if it was in my pocket while walking or in my hand while running. I end up inadvertently playing music or opening the emergency dialer or camera from my lock screen.
How can I disable or customize this feature? I've Google and didn't really find anything this specific. It's not related to notifications, at least I don't think it is..
To disable: Settings / Display / Ambient display / off.
To modify: I'm sure there are a variety of options when rooted. Gravitybox has a few:
Gravity box has option under the power settings: "proximity wakeup (use proximity sensor to help decide whether to wake device up)"
Gravity box also has an option under lockscreen tweaks / shortcuts / "safe launch" - requires double tap to launch shortcuts (from lockscreen) preventing them from being launched accidentally while device is in the pocket
Personally I have ambient enabled in Android settings, the GB safe launch option checked and the GB proximity wakeup option unchecked. Works fine - never had an inadvertant launch of anything from lockscreen. I vaguely recall that checking the prox wakeup option has caused some other problems for users so I don't use it.
When the "tap to wake" option is enabled, lift to wake is also enabled. Is there any way to have tap to wake but not lift to wake??
In moto app turn peek display off
