Automaton is an Revolutionary step in Automating your Device using Sensors
It is built on the idea that Locking & Unlocking can be more Simple,Fast using various Sensors
XDA EDITOR IN CHIEF Will Verduzco says: “Magically” wakes the device right when you want to use it
The most innovating app for Locking & Unlocking your Device.
Tons of features to come yet.
How it Works :
The most innovating app for Locking & Unlocking your Device.
It uses various sensors of your device like Proximity, Light, Accelerometer, Magnetic Sensors depending upon
which Sensor you choose.
Using, these sensors the app determines whether to lock or unlock the device using special algorithms used in app.
Key Features :
1. High Accuracy :
The app has high precision of determining whether to lock / unlock device preventing accidental lock
2. Flip Cover Mode :
-Proximity : For normal Flip Cover available
-Magnetic : For an modified Flip Cover which an be achieved pasting an small piece of magnet to the flip cover
(Contact me for more details)
-Light Tablet : For tablets not having Proximity Sensor can use this for their Flip Cover
-Fuse Proximity + Light : Used when more accuracy of locking / unlocking needed & also prevents accidental lock-unlock
-Fuse Shake + Proximity : Close the flip cover & shake the device to lock. Open the flip cover & again shake to unlock
3. Pocket Mode :
-Proximity : For normal pocket keeping
-Shake
-Fuse Proximity + Light
-Fuse Shake + Proximity
-Split Shake & Proximity : Both the sensors can be used for performing the function & also functions of the both can be changed using Split Function
4. FUSION of sensors :
Combination of sensors for better accuracy & preventing accidental lock-unlock
5. Splitting of Sensors :
Both the sensors work independently & can also be set different functions (COOL)
6. Sensor Function :
Your the master select what should sensor do, currently only 3 options are available
- Lock
- Unlock
- Lock & Unlock
Choose what you like & have fun
7. Split 2nd Sensor Function :
You can define another effect for another sensor opening lot more opportunities.
For more details refer Tutorial in App.
8. Disable Lockscreen :
Lock Screen can removed for easier unlocking (Till App is ON)
9. To Keep Screen ON :
If your reading something & wanna keep the screen ON till the phone is turned over or Cover is closed then use this
10. Sensor Sensitivity
11. Auto Unlock
12. Battery Saver :
Stop the apps all the features when the battery level of device is decreased below the level selected
13. Vibration on Screen Lock / Unlock
14. Simple ON/OFF widget
15. Android 2.3 to 4.2 support
16. Tablet support & Tablet Layout support too
17. Ester Egg (Suprise) !!!
18. Highly Advanced & Categorized Settings
19. Vibration time can be customised
20. Weekly new updates
Advance Features :
1. Ignore App List : Select the app for which my app should stop for preventing accidental lock while playing game & app doesn't disturb during that game
2. Night Mode : Select the time & app stops during that time interval basically during Night
3. Calibration : Sensors can be calibrate / tweaked means you can change the value for lock & unlock for your convience
4. Custom ROM support : Automaton provides an option to apply special custom ROM tweaks during first start up
5. Every Smartphone & Tablet supported
6. Plethora of Well Tailored Settings for Customizing the working of App

Worked really well, a few FC but that's because I press buttons too fast and i'm impatient but I would certainly use this app, saves battery especially if it's in your pocket and you forget to lock the screen.

Hi;
Good question. I was going to use the app that you mentioned but it request unnecesary permission that are not neccesary for this kind of app,
If you compare both apps, we have removed the following permissions :
* Phone calls - read phone status and identity
* Your applications information - retrieve running apps
* Your accounts - find accounts on the device
* Network communication - full network access
We decided to develop a similar app but only using the minimal required permission. We apply this minimal permission policy to all apps that we develop, for example, our game "The Great Fusion" require 0 permissions.
For me , permissions are a strong reasson to decide for an app or other.
What do you think about?
Thanks for that fast reply.

Hi I found this thread from a suggestion in the nexus 6 section.
My problem is upside down portrait. If I select forced upside down portrait it works fine but on forced auto I cannot get it to flip upside down. I have all the boxes checked to enable all ways of rotation but it won't go upside down unless I specifically choose that rotation. My goal is for the screen to flip every direction based on how I'm holding the phone. Thanks for a great app I love the lack of unnecessary permissions
Edit I'm on a nexus 6 by the way if you haven't inferred that already lol. Thank you

Hey. Sorry for the lake of replys last months. We have been working on a new app.
We find your suggestion very good and we think we can develop it eassily, we will try to update the app in the upcoming weeks. Thanks for your reports, we really appreciate it.
Btw, if any one want to try or newest app is callled "Smart Unlock" and it is used to remove lock security when connected to trusted wifis or bluetooths. I will try to open a thread on XDA soon.
Absolutely awesome
Hi there,
tested your app today and I'm totally pleased.
Realy great work guys!
In case of support questions, worked for me on:
Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini (GT-8190)
Cyanogen Mod, Android 4.4.4 (credits to our Forum Member Maclaw)
(Just to make it clear: The support for the rotation of the launcher itself (and probably all the rest, too) is build in. I deactivated the inbuild option and used the app instead.)
Sony Xperia Z3 compact (D5803)
Stock with Xperia UI, Android 4.4.4
thanks a bunch !
App is great As mentionned before, it's a little sad that reverse portrait doesn't work with "forced auto", but that's not a really big deal.
So, I can report: works good on Moto G (2014) and Android 5.0.2, and also with Google Now Launcher.
Another improvement that would be nice: hide the icon from the drawer.
Thanks again, great app <3

What is Smart Lock?
Smart Lock is a smart app that intelligently lock/unlock your smart phone without touching it.
This app runs on Android 2.1+ devices having proximity sensor.
The main objective of the app is to lock and screen off your smart phone immediately when it is not in use to save more battery.
When your phone is in your pocket or in phone cover, this app automatically locks and turn-off the phone screen to save battery.When you pull out your phone, this app automatically unlocks your phone and turn-on the phone screen to make it ready to use.
I got the idea to build this app by using BlackBerry phones. It uses sensors to turn-off screen when putting the phone in phone cover and immediately turn-on phone screen when pulling out the phone from phone cover.
Features
There are several apps of this type in market but Smart Lock has some unique features that makes it distinct from others:
* No additional permissions required.
* No need to give the app administrative privileges.
* Beautiful and simple interface.
* Very easy to use (don't need to read manual to use the app).
* Small in size.
Detailed features:
Here are some unique features of Smart Lock - Free version:
* Simple and user friendly interface.
* One touch to start/stop Smart Lock service.
* Intelligently lock/unlock device when service is activated.

Very cool app, I have purchased the Pro version; it works great, with one (small) comment:
I don't know, how to phrase it, as I am not a programmer, but I have the feeling, that the priority of smart lock should be higher. What I mean:
Although I use it with 'show notifications' on (which should mean as I recall that the service stays active), after running a few apps (I have about 60 installed) smart lock stops; meaning: after taking the phone out of my pocket screen does not turn on -I assume (maybe I am wrong), that due to lower priority of smart lock app, which gets stopped when more apps loaded/ memory used?
Anybody else experiencing this issue; any ideas how to solve it?
Otherwise great app, 95% of the time works just as described, very easy to get used to!

Google+ Baby Untouch beta page
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of baby friendly contents on web, app, YouTube, and other video source. The app allows you to open any of those contents for your baby and protect your phone from being destroyed by baby random clicking.
*******************************************************************************************************************
Features:
★ Block touch on any apps, including YouTube and browsers (video playing without problem. I haven't find any app that doesn't work with this app yet)
★ Block home, back button, recent-app button, and menu button
★ Lock volume
★ Easy unblocking with options
★ Even works on lockscreen to prevent calling to 911
★ Option to "Keep screen on" while blocking
★ Option to "Lock orientation" while blocking
★ Super simple start. Only need 20 seconds to fully understand how it works
★ Super optimized; next to zero memory and CPU usage
★ Tiny app size
★ No ads; that's right, no ads
★ No sneaky permission, only 2 basic ones
★ No data usage, it doesn't even need internet access permission
★ No sign up, no email, no phone number, and no information is saved or required
*******************************************************************************************************************
Coming Features:
★ Option to allow interaction on running app in the foreground
*******************************************************************************************************************
Limitation:
This app does not provide baby content at this moment.
There are a few reasons:
1. ) I am not an expert at determining what content is the best for babies; I only want to provide what I believe is the best.
2. ) There are so many baby content available everywhere already.
Other notes:
This app does not block power button.
Volume lock is to revert volume changes.
If somehow you can't unblock after start blocking, you can press and hold power button to restart phone and that will fix it.
I have tested this app on as many phones and apps that I can, but if you do find an app or a phone that this is not compatible with, please email me the phone model, android version and the app link, so I can test it and fix it.

Is it possible to configure the app to auto engage when a particular app is running? so for example if Youtube is started the the notouch app activates?
Also, is it possible to have it startup automatically on device boot so that it is running and active by "default"?

Thanks for your interest.
Regarding auto engage, is it that really useful? Currently it doesn't have that feature, because it only takes 1 swipe from the notification and 1 tap to activate.
Regarding auto startup on boot, it might be a bit too dangerous. For example, if you somehow can't not unblock it (For example, someone sets it to 10 taps/sec to unblock), then your last way to get pass it is to do hard reset which is holding power for 10 seconds.
But auto start up the notification is possible. I might add that in, just don't want to pollute the UI with 20 options that general moms don't know how to operate. I might add in an advanced option category in near future.
Thanks.

Sorry for using this thread for this, but I don't think so. I have an app for children on my tablet with pictures and spoken names off different animals. My nearly 2 year old daughter loves it, and actually she can name most of the animals clearly and instantly. I think the point is what kind of content you show to little kids and how long you let them play with it.
Swyped from my incredible Sony Xperia Z with Tapatalk 4
http://www.aap.org/en-us/advocacy-and-policy/aap-health-initiatives/pages/media-and-children.aspx
Confirms partly what I said, content and duration must be under parental guidance. But I think even kids under age 2 can learn from both: people AND media. And now let's stop hijacking the thread.

Block Indicator - Now it shows blue dot when blocking and being tapped. This helps user to know the blocking is active. Especially useful when it's in lockscreen and user forgot blocking is active.
There is a bug currently when unblocking if Unblock confirmation is not set. A new update will be released to fix that later today. Please enable unblock confirmation before using it for now.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi!
Is it possible to have the app lock input for 0.5-1second after turning the screen on? I have a bug on my N5 that causes shadow presses when the screen is unlocked. Setting a lock pattern solves this on one side but when the light sensor turns on/off screen during a call it still causes erratic behavior.
Thanks.

I am sorry, this app can't do what you specifically ask for, it's for different purpose.

Is it possible to configure the app to auto engage when a particular app is running? so for example if Youtube is started the the notouch app activates?
Also, is it possible to have it startup automatically on device boot so that it is running and active by "default"?

This is possible with Tasker and the latest update of this app.

What is QuickCamera?
QuickCamera is a free and open source application that lets you quickly launch the camera app (normally or from the lock screen) with a simple gesture that involves twisting your wrist twice, quickly. It's the same gesture that's used to launch the camera app on the Moto X. Pull out your phone, perform the gesture and the camera app will be ready to take wonderful photos. No need to wake the phone or press any buttons.
Why did I make this?
I am a big fan of Moto X's gesture controls and I really liked the gesture to launch the camera from anywhere, by twisting your wrist quickly 2 times. It's really handy, but unfortunately not available to other devices, so I decided to replicate the feature and bring it to all Android devices. It involved weeks of experimentation, but I finally have a working alpha version ready.

Changelog:
Alpha 10 - May 2nd 2014
Night mode: Automatically disable gesture recognition when you go to sleep and automatically enable it when you wake up. To set the wake-up and sleep time, enable Night Mode in Settings and set the wake-up and sleep timings. This saves battery life substantially.
Inbuilt QuickCapture camera app: Not available for testing right now but will be soon
Optimizations to code and some bug fixes
Improvements to Gesture Calibration: Added a help button
Alpha 9 - April 30th 2014
Option to enable/disable gesture recognition only when the screen is off
Ability to save calibration settings without trying them
Fixed bugs in Settings
Alpha 8 - April 30th 2014
Improvements to accuracy and sensitivity; completely switched to rotation vector now
Gesture Calibration option added: You can now adjust the sensitivity/accuracy values and try them out to see which combination works the best for you. Once you're satisfied, you can save the values and the service will start using them
Added an option to let you control whether the service should automatically start after rebooting or not
Older alpha version changelogs
Alpha 7 - April 30th 2014
Switched to rotation vector by default, accuracy and sensitivity highly improved and chances of accidental launches significantly reduced
Added an option to change vibration intensity in Settings
Bugfix: Camera launch due to vibration on notifications like messages, etc
Alpha 6 - April 29th 2014
Improved sensitivity: Gesture will now activate ONLY if you twist your wrist 2 times within 2 seconds, else the gesture will not be recognized. It should fix most of the accidental launch issues everyone was having!
Slightly improved battery usage
Gesture detection now pauses when when a call comes and resumes when the call ends
Alpha 5 - April 28th 2014
Lockscreen and screen off support (Requires Google Camera on some devices)
Bugfix: Performing gesture on lockscreen disables security
Alpha 4 - April 28th 2014
Reduced battery consumption when the phone is in your pocket (Make sure you enable proximity sensor in Settings)
Improved accuracy/sensitivity
Bugfix: Camera launched in pocket even when proximity sensor was turned on in Settings
Bugfix: Pressing the back button did not put the application in background
Bugfix: If camera app was already in background and gesture was performed, the camera app will open but throw an error.
Prevent accidental camera launch while the user is in a call

Vibration on camera launch
Service auto-starts on device startup
Tutorial when you launch the app for the first time

Forgot to add it to OP, thanks
Alpha 2 has been pushed, will go live in few hours and you will receive an update via Play Store. I have attached the APK in OP also. Oh, and I forgot to mention: You can access the debugging settings by pressing volume down button 3 times in the app.
Awesome, it is! :good: :good: :good:
Well, you have given the source, but I,m still asking, can i implement it in my ROM as an inbuilt feature?

Wow... Great stuff.. I mean.. Really great!!! Neo V running 4.4 works flawlessly.. Only one thing. I cant seem to find any settings. I'd like to change the time between the twists because IMO its too long.. (Even after 5-6 seconds it would activate.)

Open the app, press volume down button 3 times, the debug settings will open. You cannot change the time between twists, but you can tweak one value which affects the twists in a certain way (X-axis threshold).
Is it possible to add the vibration that the Moto X does when the camera opens?

Works on the note 3 but it seems to have trouble bypassing the lock screen and seems too sensitive. I assume changing the axis threshold would help with that?

Yes, try experimenting with values from 0 to 10. 5 works for me on my HTC One.
Thank you for this app.
I could not get it to work on my rooted Note 2 running Kitkat 4.4.2 (IOAP ROM) w/AGNI kernel
I tried to change axis threshold values between 0 to 10 and none worked.
Also, how do you exit the app after turning it on ? I have to use the home button to get out.

Please send logcat, without it I cannot identify what went wrong on your device. Also, are you performing the gesture properly?
You can close it from multitasking menu.

@thahim, the purpose of my Application is, that it helps you to use your Smartphone faster by using a service which sets the screen brightness oft your Smartphone to a user choosen minimum and if you Smartphone is in use like in your hand , then the service sets the screen brightness of your Smartphone to a user choosen maximum.
I hope it's clear now, if not you could ASK again

I think this app automatically switches ur screen ON when u take up the phone and its elevated in the angle u give in the app and also the birghtness of the screen is changed based on ur inpu. Good Thought. Nice app. but there are many such apps already in playstore. But well done OP.

Great job
The new Design in ISM is really beautiful. Especially the app icon looks great on my 5.0 nav drawer
I'm using this app since 1 month and it's really usefull to save my battery life on my Oppo Find 7a.
But I'm still waiting on the feature, to auto unlock the device by holding it in the hand.
Great job!
Works great. Thanks.
@lemene thanks for your feedback @fastermaster as I said in my edited post ... In a newer Version oft my APP the feature to lock and unlock the phone will be added
Would also be nice if you could give me a rating on Play store
