After the success of Smart Screen OFF, I decided to publish another app called Smart Screen ON available in LITE and PRO version too.
Smart screen ON
Smart Screen ON LITE
DESCRIPTION:
Smart screen ON is an innovative app which turns your proximity sensor into a power button. If you have a big phone with no physical button on the front(Galaxy Nexus for example, you can turn on or turn off the phone just tapping or waving your hand (finger) on proximity sensor.
FEATURES:
When you change the settings, remember saving and restarting service using built in app specific button.
There are two mode available, both mode can coexist:
+WAVE MODE:
Wave (move) your hand/finger on proximity sensor, even without touching it.
You can set the amount of waves you want to use to turn on/off screen and the time between each wave.
Do you want to wave your hand quickly or slowly?
+TAP AND SWIPE MODE:
1) Tap proximity sensor using your finger;
2) Wait for the first vibration;
3) Swipe (remove) quickly your finger, before it vibrates for the second time.
You can set the time before the first and the second vibration.
+DISABLE SENSOR
You can also disable sensor after an amount of time you can set in the app panel.
The app will disable the whole service and proximity sensor after X time of inactivity.
+STATISTICS
Statistics include:
A)Smart Screen ONs;
B)Smart Screen OFFs;
C)Total power button saves;
D)The power used by your proximity sensor (which is very very low).
+START ON BOOT
If you check this, the app will start on boot.
+HIDE ICON
If you hide the icon, the app could be instable and could be killed by Android in low memory conditions.
+ENABLE FOR TURNING SCREEN OFF
The app has been created to turn screen off, but I also give you the ability to turn screen off.
+DISABLE WHEN LANDSCAPE
The sensor will stop working when landscape.
+INCOMPATIBILITY
-HTC Desire HD is not compatible with "wave mode" because its proximity sensor doesn't work as it should.

first off love the app purchased the full version. i have a evo lte and when i disable the lock screen it will still pops up a random times but frequently. even thought in the settings it says no lock screen, i still get the lock screen is there a work around to get that to stop?
Concept is amazing, but how about battery stats? Have someone been using it for some time and can tell me its impact on the battery?
I purchased it from the Play store (to get rid of the notification bar icon). Works pretty well. I haven't been able to test this and see if running the app tolls the battery more, though I would think it most likely does.
When I wave my hand to wake up my device, it briefly displays my home screen (literally a split second) before the lock screen shows up. I haven't played with the app enough to figure out why it does this, I have my lock screen enabled for the record.
yea mine is disable and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't i haven't been able to figure out why.
i am also having a issue with the brightness on the screen i had it set to auto and when i would turn the screen on the display would become dimmed every now and then and it would stay dimmed until i would go into the brightness area and change the brightness then it would restore to normal. this happened with auto brightness set and manual brightness set.

Hello.
I like when my phone automatically enables screen when I flip the case off, but I hate situations when my phone suddenly decides to lock itself, e.g. while playing games or watching videos. Is there any way to disable this "automatic lock" feature on the device? I want it to react ONLY to screen timeout and power button, without any proximity or gravity stuff, the same way it was on my old Nexus 4. It didn't interrupt me when I was using it.
Thanks.
This is not my work I liked it so I though it's worth sharing
Your phone is on a plane surface and you want to see the time? Bored to search a button for turn on/off the screen? Do you want to preserve the home/power key? Try AirOn!
Designed in material design, AirOn allow you to turn on/off the screen covering the proximity sensor, then uncovering and covering it again (default config).
There is also a special mode for flip covers, that allow you to turn on the screen when the cover is opened, off otherwise.
Please, note that when the service is running, a notification will be displayed, in order to ensure that the process is not killed by the system. If you don't like the notification, disable it in settings-app-airon, then unchecked "show notification".
If you want more customization, buy the premium key and unlock these features:
- Vibration settings: choose a vibration strenght when turn on/off the screen with AirOn;
- Detection strategy: set the number of detections of the proximity sensor required for turn on/off the screen;
- Speech: activate the time pronunciation when the screen is turned on.

Great App !! work excelent thanks

Hello all,
My N5 has its power button weared down. These last two days I wasnt able to turn it on because of the classic boot loop.
How can I prevent this?
I currently installed Gravity Screen to reduce power button usage to the minimum. I like how it unlocks my phone (movemente and proximity sensor work fine) but locking it doesnt seem very convenient as it doesnt support shakelock or double tap or gestures.
I'd like some app or ROM that enables me to lock my phone with a shake and unlocks it in the same fashion (or a double tap on the screen like the opo cellphone).
Are there any options?
Thanks
I'm wondering how the feature in the OPO that recognize screen gestures, while the screen of the device is off, actually works? For example, the feature to double tap to awake the phone, or draw a circle to open the camera app. Does the screen really been turned off, or actually the screen is on, and just the screen is black. (this way the screen is on, hence can recognize the gestures, and on the other hand save battery energy).
Thanks!

The display (what you seem to call the screen) is one thing and the touch digitizer is a different thing. The display turns off, but the touch panel stays active and listens for taps/gestures.

Ok, and from development point of view, can one build an android app running on OPO that listens for gestures while the display is off? Meaning allowing the user to define gestures and their actions, expanding the OPO limited fixed gestures and their actions?
Thanks.

I don't think an app can do it. I think (if it is at all possible to add custom gestures) it'll have to be done in the kernel.
Is anyone else having the same issue?
Double tap only works when the ambient display is showing (the clock before the lock screen).
If you turn off ambient display all together, double tap does not work.

Double tap works for me without ambient display being on.
I'm on stock 58.0.A.28.51.
Looks like it's one of the system apps whose permission I modified.
I just did a factory reset
It seems like a common issue with this phone. My tap to wake has never worked properly and it's driving me insane. Tap tap tap TAP TAAAAP, then it works. Sometimes.
Does anyone have a solution for this before I throw it out of the second floor window?
Yeah, that's one of the very few annoying things. I wonder if it has to do with the screen protector? There have been user reports of lower touch sensitivity (mostly at the edges of the screen) due to screen protectors.
Double tap isn't working again when ambient display is set to "OFF" and I have not messed around with system app permissions.
I did verify that 2x tap is working after I debloated the phone with AD set to "OFF". Not sure what has changed since then because I have not used this phone since debloat.
More details:
-2x tap will only work when AD is showing
-for as long as AD is showing that clock, 2x tap works
Double tap and lag-free notifications should work much better when you set "Smart activation" in Ambient display settings (lokk in "When to show Ambient display" settings).
Same issues, tried many things mentioned here and more ... you'd think simple things like this would work flawlessly in a high end phone. Really tired of digging and digging in the phone and online to find solutions, so frustrating. Sony will have to make something extraordinary in the future to convince me to buy another phone from them ...
It's way too long time have passed from the last post, but I was wondering about the same issue of double tap when searching for the answer had led me to this topic. I've recently bought two same phones, not Sony but Nokia 5.4 with Android 10 and stucked in gesture unlock too. Though this topic didn't helped me, later I've found the solution by myself and eager to share the way that did worked for me with everyone.
So, if the double tap to wake up the screen suddenly stopped working, try this:
1) go to Settings-System-Gestures
2) find the "double-tap wake" option and turn it OFF
3) back to home screen and lock the phone with the power button
4) unlock the phone with any way
5) go to Settings-System-Gestures
6) find the "double-tap wake" option and turn it ON
That's all, your favorite unlocking must work again (well, both my phones were healed). Good luck! )
Inversely, you can't disable tap to wake on the AOD.
Infuriating.
In any case, 3-taps always works for me
Including this phone and Pixel 2XL.
