Most Nokia Lumia devices come with double tap to wake up functionality but it does not work as expected in the Nokia’s Android phones, X and XL. The reason is X and XL use Vibrator and Accelerometer to implement Double Tap on these devices.

This is same for the Nokia 5XX series so it does not work as expected. You must tap really hard and at other times even hitting the phone at its back would wake it up.

Nokia did this to reduce wastage of battery, the screen was not used to implement this feature.

We finally have the instructions on how to root the Motorola Moto E using either ODIN or ADB. Before you proceed you must have:

TWRP on your Moto E or ADB installed on your computer.

Method 1: Rooting using recovery

If you want to follow this method, first follow our instructions on how to install TWRP on Moto E. This requires you to unlock your bootloader too. Do not fret – just open the TWRP link and you will be guided for each and every step.

After you have TWRP on your phone, just download Super SU utility from playstore and install it. Here is a direct link to it.
