About Knockr (Beta)

Knockr gives you quick access to your favorite apps with Gestures or Knocks from anywhere.

The lock screen feature of Knockr is designed for all devices and will listen for Gestures or Knocks. Lock screen utilizes the palette class to pull colors from your background and apply them to the camera button and the nav bar (Lollipop only). On Android Lollipop devices you can control media right from the lock screen. The lock screen will also take on the colors of the Album artwork.

To launch apps with Knockr' Gestures or Knocks from anywhere you can use Knockr Everywhere. Tapping on the small Knockr button will launch the Gesture/Knock listener. Long pressing or double tapping the Knockr button will lock the screen.

Knockr on OLED devices can mimic the screen being turned off while still listening for Gestures or Knocks, with black screen. Tasker Integration gives you even more control of Knockr Black Screen. Use Tasker to set the parameters you want for Knockr Black Screen to open/pause. The three options you can choose for Tasker to control are on, off and toggle. On launches Knockr. Off closes Knockr completely. Toggle option toggles Knockr sleep (release and reset the screen wake) the same way that the 'Power Management' option does. When using Tasker integration it is recommended to switch Knockr off in the settings and uncheck power management if using the toggle feature.

Gestures include:
Double Tap, Swipe Up, Swipe Down, Swipe Left, Swipe Right, Long Press, Up Arrow, Double Up Arrow, Down Arrow, Double Down Arrow, Right Arrow, Left Arrow, Clockwise circle, Double Clockwise Circle, Counter-Clockwise Circle, and Double Counter-Clockwise Circle.

Knocks are limited to 3 unless a donation is made and then they are unlimited.

Volume Up button when in Landscape: Pressing the volume up button when the device is in Landscape will automatically open the camera


Known issues:
Power button doesn't turn screen on as expected (The power button isn't possible to be overridden in Android, so there is no way to fix this).
Lockscreen Background doesn't show correctly when using the Google Now Launcher (Lockscreen Mode. The wallpaper aligns to the third page of the launcher. This seems to be a vestige from the old android launcher).
Notification LED doesn't show when using black screen (This happens because the screen isn't turned off fully).

Installed on Galaxy Tab 3 and it won't let me in even when I put in the right knock pattern! Can't even use my tablet now! WTF??? How do I get this off my tablet now?????? Doesn't work on Galaxy S3. Just keeps saying 'Invalid Knock'

Didn't find anything written on the description! Still gave it a 1 coz I can't give a 0 o rminus. Shall be happy to change the ratings if someone walks me through. Go to Security Settings and uncheck device administrator for Knockr before you can uninstall this app

Just installed this on my phone running Android 4.4.2. Overkill for my needs. All I was looking for was a simple app to wake my phone without using the power button. However, the fact that this app disables the power button (for power on only) is a bit of a problem for me. I've tried numerous apps that use the proximity sensor and they all had unacceptable battery drain. I'm hoping this app will not suffer that same problem. Unfortunately, it looks like this app DOES use the proximity sensor which, in turn, has unacceptable battery drain.

It clearly states that if you double tap it will wake up (light up) the screen... but no it ends up locking the device as a lock or key code...

Doesn't work. As a bonus it managed to overlay itself on top of every other app. Rebooting didn't help and until I can find a fix my brand new device is a useless brick.

R70%
by R####:

Unless your hardware support double tap feature in which case u won't need this app, all such apps keep screen awake thus heavy battery drain. I kept fully charged phone in airplane mode after 8 hrs of sleep the battery was 42% in the morning.

I am really loving this app, and I know it's still in beta status, but could you please fix the error when it simply blocks the notification LED while the screen is locked. The problem occured on a Note 3 running Lollipop.

It would be better if the light sensor turned off Because i use Twilight and at night time the screen is visible red and glows with variable lighting. Please give option to set custom gestures like if i draw C Camera should open and if i draw F Facebook it should open.

So I activate my phone using knockr. I try to unlock it with no success, try to launch an app that i previously configured with no success. Luckily I was able to unlock the phone eventually

Z70%
by Z####:

App is good but it's still in Beta condition.Means the developer is still working on it to improve it.Need more Device compability.

C70%
by C####:

A good performance though being in beta. Suggestions: 1. User should be able to set wherein actually the screen will be switched off 2. Screen off during night 3.usable as Tasker plugin 4. Battery saver mode where blank screen is on only when there is a new notification

G70%

I like it because I have a cheap phone and I didn't expected it to work, but it's working

Z70%
by Z####:

Doesn't double tap to unlock, does double tap to open the knock unlock screen, hope they can fix this as i want plain double tap to unlock (no knock code required)

N70%
by N####:

"Quick access to certain apps with Gestures", works perfectly in my phone... The thing about "screen on" feature is this app makes my screen never really goes off, only emitting black color on the screen. I was looking for this app in order to save my power button from being pressed too much, but this app drains my battery instead.

Z70%
by Z####:

Its good enough app but when its turn on the notification light dosent work on my Galaxy s5, please slove this bug

V70%

Always wanted double tap screen app which I had in my htcm8 and this app provides much more options which are not available in high end fones

People rating it under 5 just don't know how to use this application.

Z70%
by Z####:

It only works when you mannually press power button to lock the device. It does not work when device is automatically locked. Need improvements.

Y70%

Tried to double tap and nothing happened...

S70%
by S####:

Its an awesome application. I like it to install my handset. It works greatly. I suggest you to install this apps. It help to avoid the continuous use of my power button

Z70%
by Z####:

Works fine if you deactivate your passcode. Also, it does not lock your phone rather makes it black (in my case). This drains your phone battery a lot faster.

U70%
by U####:

The app actually makes me easier to use my phone. But it doesn't always work. It's still in a realiable level but not that Nokia or LG's level.
