As a stock Android user, I noticed that my device does not natively support a double tap to lock screen feature. So, I came up with an idea to create a lightweight app that locks my device with a single tap. My main goal was to make it look like a stock app and keep it lightweight.
Additionally, my device has a dedicated Google Assistant button that I don't use. I decided to repurpose it to be useful by remapping it to toggle the device flashlight. Now, it functions as a flashlight toggle.
