Enable double tap to wake on your Nexus 6 with this root app

After learning that the Nexus 6 is capable of running double tap to wake functionality, many of us went diving into the systems settings looking for how to turn it on. Sadly, the feature is not officially supported, and had been removed by Google before launch.

The good news is that the Android community wouldn’t stand for this, and a small number of apps and tools can now be found to re-enable the feature. The latest, called Nexus 6 Double Tap to Wake, is a root only app, found for $0.99 in the Google Play Store.

Double tap to wake is a function that LG has made indispensable for many users, having employed it on phones like their LG G2 and the latest LG G3. Of course, they stepped up the game with Knock Code, allowing you to use a passcode strength custom tap pattern to not only unlock the device, but to dive into specific apps as well.
