[Q] Removing Proximity sensor driver - Defy Android Development

Is there any way to permanently\temporally disable the damn proximity sensor ?
I found someone that was able to do that on 2.2, but this method is no longer available at 2.3+...

Disabling the proximity sensory on CM10

Is there any way to disable the proximity sensor on CM10? On the stock ROM, you can disable the sensor for phone calls through the phone app settings, but I cannot find an equivalent setting for the CM10 phone app. Any ideas how this might be accomplished?
Thanks.

How to disable the proximity sensor?

Anyone know how to disable the Proximity sensor completely?
I did some searching and I came across this
I looked up the proximity sensor in The Hardware detection apps and it says
CM36282 Proximity sensor
Vendor: Capella Microsystem
I then looked in "Hardware disabler" but I couldn't find specific or anything close to it.
How do I disable it, or does anyone know what the driver name and location of it in Hardware Disabler?
Thanks.
Please don't ask me why I want to do it, don't suggest proximity fix, I want to disable it. Thank you.

[Q] How to disable proximity sensor?

Hi, my screen just crackes and now the proximity sensor is broken.
I need to disable it so i can make calls again, because the screen is going off during the whole call
This was just posted in another subforum. I haven't tried it but it looks interesting.

After a few days searching and trying every single app on the internet, i came to the conclusion that the only thing that worked on the 5.1.1 to turn off the proximity sensor was installing xposed framework and then installing the xposed proximity sensor disabler.

nexus 5 proximity sensor is not working for marshmellow

I tried some proximity app also but it is not working and I also tried some other time like cm13 but proximity not working
Does the sensor work with any stick ROMs?

Proximity sensor?

I have installed lastest V12.5.4.0.RFDMIXM global
how did any of you solve the problem of the proximity sensor?
But is it possible that I am forced to change firmware due to this annoying problem? there are no solutions yet?
Calibration does not work ... the problem remains!
if I change the firmware with a different one with the pixel experience for example it works perfectly.
Can you advise me?
Does it have a physical proximity sensor ??
