All those sensors in the GS4 - Galaxy S 4 General

So we know that the GS4 will have several new sensors which you can see in the image below from SamMobile.
But other than Samsungs own apps (ie: S Health) what could you imagine these new sensors could be used for?.
The Air Gesture sensor may be useful to app developers that want to do more with less space, so instead of having one button with one function, that button could have three functions by using 'Air Gesture' and 'Long Press' for additional functions.
And probably not a good example but maybe we'll see some apps that could use the Proximity and temperature sensors to detect if your device is by your ear, face down on the table or in your pocket and adjust some settings as required.

I think some people will do the amazing things with these sensors. But for me, it is just complex, I just want to wait for the amazing performance.

[APP] SPoB - Soft Power Button

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lovetere.spob
Annoyed by the power button in your Android device? Forget about it with SPoB!
Now you can easily power on your device simply moving your finger over the proximity sensor!
You can choose your preferred settings* for SPoB to avoid any annoying situation (like disable SPoB if in landscape mode when texting, if a specific app is executing or if the phone is in a pocket**).
SPoB also offers a useful widget that allows you to activate and deactivate the service quickly with one touch without opening the app.
Take a look at the app stats and count how many times you skipped the physical power button. You won't miss it anymore!
*Some functions are available for the full version only
**Light sensor required

Swipedge is an android app that allows you to switch between apps with a single swipe but the special thing is you can control your sound level extremely easy and fast! Have you ever experiment this feeling when you are watching youtube's videos and you have to use your other hand to click up/down volume button ... I got a bad feeling every time I remember that ^^, here's a quick demo of how it's working : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVrihZ7516g&t=0m30s
You can even control the brightness of your phone! but you need to upgrade to prime version to get this feature and many others feature like customise themes of Swipedge, adjust the width of your app drawer and so on.

What's your opinion about it guys ?

[POLL] Logging mechanism update

We have a decent logging inside L Speed but it can be improved. Since we strive for simplicity I have some ideas to suggest
And yeah, if someone recommend simple/advanced logging, I won't do that, it's a bit overloading.
Do you like something like this?
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Thanks for support
Root Apps
For root applications logging should not be simplified IMO, especially since a single switch in L Speed can (and often does) trigger multiple actions. Each action should be clearly documented in a single line as is done today for many L Speed options (thank you!). However, logging for some are missing while others only indicate a switch was set w/o accompanying detail. Looking forward to improvements in future releases.
I would agree with @Davey126 .

Question Is there a way to activate AOD only when the device is charging?

I charge the S22u in my bed table, at night. I would like to see the clock during night, but I don't want to have AOD always on. I thought that under modes and routines this could be defined, but I can't set a trigger condition to be "device charging". Probably this is possible with third party apps, but first I wanted to be sure that I'm not missing a way to do this with the internal features. I'm in stock Android 13, Snapdragon model.
I use Bixby routine and it works fine

This is what you need to do in Modes And Routines, go to the right bottom tab in Routines and set this exact routine. You can choose the name you want of course ;-)
jordiz86, sprov, many thanks for your answers. I could successfully create the routine.
