Tap, Tap is a port of the double tap on back of device gesture from Pixels running Android 12 to any Android 7.0+ device*.
Tap, Tap provides over 50 actions that can be run from double or triple taps on the back of your device, including:
The gesture can also be fully controlled, to only run under certain conditions, or run different actions in different scenarios; such as only when an app is running, the screen is off, or when listening to music (many more options are available).
The sensitivity and response of the gesture can be controlled, picking from 8 "models", trained for devices ranging in size from 5.7" to 6.3" in height, as well as finer control of the sensitivity of gesture detection, meaning there is a configuration that will work well for most devices.
Tap, Tap also tries to be easy on the battery, only running the gesture detection when required, and integrates with the "low power mode" available on select Pixel devices, otherwise using the lower-power machine learning capabilities of devices, where available.
* Your device must have an accelerometer and gyroscope.
** Requires a compatible Pixel device or root, see this page for more info.

Reporting Issues & Feature Requests
If you have encountered a crash or error, please make an issue on the GitHub Issues page. For crashes, include a crash report, which Tap, Tap should create for you and show a notification after a hard crash (enable the option on the "More" page first if you have disabled it). Before making an issue, make sure it has not been reported before, and does not fall under the "service killed" pinned issue, as those will be closed and ignored.
To request a feature, either make an issue stating "Feature Request", or post a reply in the XDA thread. Note that only relatively simple features will be considered, anything more complex including toggling specific system features should be done using the Tasker capabilities of Tap, Tap, as the app is not meant to be a Tasker replacement.
Tap, Tap provides over 50 actions that can be run from double or triple taps on the back of your device, including:
- Launching an app
- Launching a shortcut
- Toggling the flashlight
- Simulating button presses, such as home or back
- Running a Tasker task
- Quick Tap to Snap**

Changelog said:Version 1.6
- Added support for Android 14 DP1
- Fixed Low Power Mode on some Android 13/14 builds
- The "Apps" requirement now displays the selected app on the requirement list
- Removed checks from switches since it broke the animation
Version 1.5:
- Added new Samsung model from RegiStar
- Added new action to simulate rotating the device
- Added support for LG DualScreen devices for foldable gate
- Fixed a number of crashes
- UI tweaks
Version 1.4:
- Fixed Native Mode on Android 13, and as a result it now requires Shizuku or Sui. This is because of restrictions to the READ_LOGS permission on Android 13
- Added Notification Permission prompt for Android 13
- Updated Material switches to newer Material You style
- Updated dependencies
- Added touch on screen action, thanks mauri870
- Updated Traditional Chinese translation, thanks cracky5322
- Fixed incorrect button action during setup
- Fixed crash on Android 10
- Fixed incorrect notification for gesture actions
Version 1.3:
Introducing Native Mode, a new low-battery usage mode for Pixels with official Quick Tap support. This mode, similar to the existing low-power mode, uses the system component, but does so without needing root (on Android 13) or a constantly running Shizuku service (on Android 12). To set it up, you will need to use ADB or root once to grant a permission, after that it will run without further actions being required.
Please note that Native Mode does not work while the screen is off, and you may find triple tap is harder to use with it enabled. Both of these are system restrictions and cannot be worked around.
In addition, 1.3 fixes some crashes, updates translations, and fixes Quick Tap to Snap from the lockscreen.
Version 1.2:
Tap, Tap v1.2 disables the Tensor Low Power Mode by default as it was causing issues with some devices not working with the gesture.
If it was previously working for you on 1.x, and you experienced battery improvements, you can re-enable it in the advanced settings.
Low Power Mode on supported Pixels with Shizuku or Sui is not affected by this change.
- Added missing alarm permission
- Fixed more app shortcut crashes
- Improve foldable gates
- Added monochrome icon for Android 13
- Translation updates
Version 1.1:
- Fixes for Android 13
- Fixed app shortcut related crashes
- Fixed service starting on boot even if it's disabled
- Fixed crash on start on Android 7.0
- Added Do not Disturb enabling action, thanks Kylian Meulin
- Updated translations
Important: If you are on Android 13, you MUST now use Sui to use Low Power Mode (Sui requires root). This is due to platform restrictions, there is no workaround.
Version 1.0.1:
- Fixes for various crashes including Snapchat, App Shortcuts and network issues.
- Improvements to device specs lookup for model recommendation
- Improvements to notification & quick settings expand/collapse actions
- Actions & Gates that are unsupported will now give a reason why they are
- Added Battery Saver gate
Version 1.0 is a full rewrite of the app, from scratch. It contains a brand new UI, a number of new actions and gates, and implementation of the Android 12 'Columbus' gesture code and models, including a new Low Power Mode for Pixels.
