Implement P soft screen lock method instead of screen timeout

[tychoregter]

Instead of (or besides) admin screen lock I'd like to see an option to double tap to lock using the root method so I can still use my fingerprint

I actually have a half-ready implementation for the double tap to screen timeout method, though it still needs a decent amount of work and testing. I'm not sure if I want to add any feature that requires root access, I'll think about it though.

Will you implement this? Please 😁 https://www.xda-developers.com/android-p-action-lock-screen/

Yes, this is going to happen eventually. Currently, I have a half-functioning screen timeout method in the works as well. The basic idea is already working, but it does need some work on edge cases.

Most likely, there will be two screen lock methods:

• secure: this is going to be the same, everywhere, this is currently available already
• non secure: prior to P, forced screen timeout method, beginning with P, the method that you mentioned

#81 is related to this

My comment applies from #81 here:

The next version (1.0.7) will have an experimental version of screen timeout lock method, which leaves fingerprint auth intact, I think similar to what Nova does. Hopefully it is going to work decently, there are quite a few possibilities on different devices with this one... If there is going to be issues with it, please open separate issues.

I'm renaming this issue to implementing P locking method.
