About Plugin Extra

This app works only with Smart Launcher

This plugin will enable Smart Launcher to use some extra features. Actually you need this plugin to turn off the screen with a double tap using Smart Launcher. The plugin is very lightweight (only few kb) and doesn't influence battery life and memory usage.

PLEASE NOTE: SL extra requires some advanced permission (just to turn off the screen indeed). So after enabling it, you won't be able to uninstall this app unless you disable it in the SL's preferences. Then you will be able to uninstall this app like every other app. Here is a video tutorial:

If you think this procedure is too hard for you, just don't install this app. You will still be able to use the most part of the Smart Launcher features.

Does what it should BUT I have a few issues. Like, how does something only meant to lock your screen, drain your battery so quick? Also, Smart Launcher is, in my opinion, the best launcher out there. So why is it they don't put this and the notification patch together. They could make so many cool features to add in. I REALLY wish you guys would show us some innovation

Using the plug-in for screen locking on double tap makes the fingerprint security settings not work. You have to enter your pin every time you use this add on feature. And sometimes even when you don't. The only way to get the fingerprint lock to work is to deactivate the SL Extra plug-in in the Device Administrator settings. This bug needs to be addressed ASAP

This is a great app but it will drain the battery quick. Also if you install the extras plug in, you MUST uninstall the plug in before uninstalling the app. If you do, reinstalling the app will not allow you to uninstall the plug in. You'll have to reset your phone or just live with it in your apps list.

I was so used to the double-tap feature in my g2 mini that I'm really thankful for this extension and it works almost perfectly so far. there's one thing though - could you make double tapping work on the sl screen lock as well?

by T####:

After updating to Nougat, I can't use finger print to unlock my screen if I used this plugin to turn the screen off. When I try to, a message says "device administrator locked device". Now if I turn off the screen with power button, I can unlock with fingerprint fine. It may have something to do with this app being a device administrator. Please fix the issue.

It works perfectly on my SL, no complaints like those 2k+ 1star dumba**es who doesnt know how to make this thing work. Maybe you should try to use your common sense first before complaining.

Ok how do I use the fingerprint scanner on this cous I like the double tap feature but I also love the speed of the fingerprint scanner and this feature stops this can someone help me figure out how to fix this on my won of make the app compatible with fingerprint unlock by default please.

When I turn off my screen the normal way, I just have to touch the fingerprint reader to turn it back on and unlock it. When I use this plugin, the fingerprint reader no longer unlocks the phone, forcing me to enter my target long PIN.

I love the idea of double tap to turn screen off, and it does work for me. My only complaint is that it locks the screen in such a way that it requires the pattern. It won't take fingerprint to unlock, just brings up the screen asking me to draw the pattern. Disappointed that it doesn't just use the normal fingerprint unlock that came standard on my phone (nexus 5x).

Better off no patch. At least you have notification on sms. But with this patch, no notification at all. Unlike the stupid judgemental below, he maybe not using any theme...

It works just as it should, though I'd like to see more extras added to the Smart Launcher. Don't ask me what should be added, but I feel though you could add a couple more extras. ;)

I am not able to use fingerprint to unlock my phone if locked with double tap. It takes me to pin entry even after recognising the fingerprint. Please do something.

I was under the impression that there would be an "old TV off" animation of some sort (i.e. similar to 'Screen Off' app). Unfortunately, the screen just fades off...

I changed the double-tap to go into settings and swipe down to lock my screen. Love it. Now it feels much more fluid and natural. Also give me quick access to toggle WiFi and Bluetooth.

It works great. Only one thing... When phone is held in my hand, in a horizontal position, but i touch the screen, phone still goes to sleep. Can you fix that, please?

by T####:

Simple, does its job! But, I've been wondering if you can combine this with the notification plugin, so all bonus features would be in one app.

Overall good and light weight launcher but having issue with "Extra feature plugin". After applying it, I'm unable to unlock my device with fingerprint scanner.

It works great and if you want your thumbscanner to work install Next lock by microsoft! Great Job! UPDATE: For some reason it stopped working

Does what it is supposed to do. Please read how to use the app before you give it a poor review. It's not the developers problem if some people don’t take the time to actually follow the instructions for making the application function properly.

Can't it work alongside the smart lock? Coz i noticed using knock off screen will need to manually unlock screen after which.

T70%
by T####:

basically, the knock on feature requires tapping the status bar twice to turn off screen, this little add on makes it so you can double tap anywhere to turn off the screen! thank you! finally!

Does exactly what it says. You folks that can't uninstall need some serious help in reading simple directions. Don't rate it low because of your stupidity.

Found where to deactivate in preferences however even though it is deactivated it still says deactivate in the play store and thus still unable to uninstall

Saves wear and tear from having to use my power button to turn off the screen, a triple tap to turn the screen back on would be epic......just a thought.

Double tap feature! I thought I would never have it unless owning an HTC m8. Good job guys!

Anyone who wants something to have complete control of your phone, be my guest. You'll no longer have 7-10 rotating pages /screens which you now look at & open & close your apps anytime you want. If you install one of these things, you will have 1 page, & your apps will hang just out of reach. Keep owning your phone & don't get this!!

I want more than one way to unlock my phone. I was hoping this would keep the smart launcher feel and give more than the one location slider.

İt crashes when i tried to knock off The screen but when i tapped twice, it crashes. Before The update, it was working very well.

After a few days it no longer works. Uninstalled and reinstaled - still not working. 5 stars now reduced to 1. Update: subsequently uninstalled and reinstalled at least 5 times without any luck. Reply: the fact that it worked for a few days surely indicate that I followed the procedure suggested
