How would you like another double tap feature on the lock screen that would make you jump to the apps immediately.

So it would be: - Double tap on blank screen to unlock the device - One tap on the lock screen shows battery and 4G - Double tap on the lock screen jumps to apps (straight to the 3rd screen if you don't get what I mean).

Do you like it or not?

Personally, I like the tapping (as opposed to using buttons), but here's an alternative using a button:

Direct unlocking
Double press the Power key quickly when the display is off.
The display turns on (no change here) and then the phone directly presents the unlock dialog (instead of just showing the lock screen) or presents the home screen (when screen lock is not in use).
The purpose of this feature is to make it faster to get back to using a locked phone without compromising the lock utitility.

You can configure also double tap to go directly to home screen instead of lock screen via:

  • mcetool --set-doubletap-mode=unlock

Note: Does not bypass device unlock screen.

Caveat: Might still make pocket calls / similar issues more likely if proximity sensor etc are not working as expected.

Also, if the not yet officially available Sneak Peek (a.k.a "fake lpm" / "glance screen") is enabled:

  • mcetool --set-low-power-mode=enabled

You see time etc when taking the device from pocket and double tapping from there takes you directly to apps view.

However none of this changes what is shown in the lock screen, so getting to see battery / cellular info still requires peeking.

(mcetool can be installed via: pkcon install mce-tools)
