The reason for this is to simplify for G2 users that miss the double tap turn off screen in other than the default launcher.
Lock Screen
It's tiny 21KB and has no ads.
For Apex Launcher
1. Install Lock Screen
2. Go to Apex Settings\Behavior Settings\Desktop double tap
3. Choose "Launch app" and choose Lock Screen.
It's about the same with other launchers that are like Apex Launcher.
There are many other apps out there that do the same thing but i found that many are little slow with turning off the screen.
Note: If you can't install it with Play Store there are alternative ways but that one should be available for everyone.
To disable the turn of animation:
The only app I know is the Xposed Framework module XBlast Tools.
I'm using it with CloudyFlex 1.4 and it's working perfectly.
