Awesome app, must try! Gravity Screen Off

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenofffree
This app uses your phone's motion, gravity, and proximity sensors to automatically turn on and off your screen so that you don't have to press any keys (software or hardware).
For instance, when I put my S4 inside my pocket or holster it to my belt clip, the screen turns off automatically. When I take the phone out, the screen turns on automatically as well.
I've tried a few apps similar to this before but this one just works very well and consistently.
I already installed it on my mom's and wifey's S2s and they love it too~! Just wanted to share the goodness~

Wow it is pretty impressive! Thanks for sharing. .

No problem. I figured there must be others who will find this kind of app convenient to have around. I just love not having to press the home or power button every time I want to turn the screen on.

Any hit on battery performance?

The author of the app said to expect a hit about 5%. I've been using it for 2 days now and I haven't noticed any difference so far. But then, I'm running on the ktoonsez kernel with -50mV, all-around.

Freekin love this app

Thanks for the heads up op! works like a charm, now I've got to get used to not pressing my power key on wake

Sweet app....I noticed I had to lower the sensitivity while my phone was in my mount while driving. The screen kept coming on.

Nice catch. Love this app.

This is exactly what I was looking for!! Thanks for the find!

Very nice find, bought the pro version right away, this is awesome but does anyone knows if there's something you can do so when you put your phone face up on the table it lock it without waiting 5 secs?

The only time the screen turns off on me when I don't want it to is when I text and I accidentally rest one of my fingers over the proximity sensor by mistake. Otherwise, it's been good. I wish there was a time-delay option for proximity sensor to turn off the screen so an accidental finger covering up the proximity sensor doesn't turn off the screen right away.

I see. It's an extra step but you could pull down the notification menu and pause the app before gaming then turn it back on afterwards. My mom tells me that sometimes when she's watching Netflix, the screen turns off on her. I told her not to cover up the sensor but she just disabled the app.

No. I got 4x for 16 seconds in 12 hours. But for as awesome as this app is I can live with a 5% hit any day!!

Thanks! This fits the bill, the other drivers on the road thanks you too!

According to GSam battery monitor, Gravity Screen Off is responsible for only 0.2% battery drain. I haven't noticed any extra drain because of this app.

Have a LED anywhere?

Apparently there's an LED that only lights when the battery is too low to power up. I've never seen it.

if you have to have it (I like the active notifications better), you can use the xposed module Gravity Box to cause the buttons to flash with notifications. I'm sure there's other options that do the same though, but you run the risk of losing battery a lot faster (hence the purpose of active notifications)

There's an led on the back that's used with the camera....

I like this answer, and I appreciate it. I also like the fact that you were not rude even though you were really thinking deep down inside that I was too ****ing stupid to know that there was an LED on the back for the camera. :sly:

Holy crap there IS a led there! Thanks Casen for that tip! I NEVER knew that and I stare at the back of my phone for hours!

Auto lock/unlock with flipcase

Can somebody tell me if its possible to enable how i can do it?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

I'm using a poetic brand flip case which has this feature. Just Google poetic flip cases
sent from my HAMMERHEAD neXus

Here's an excellent case that does just that
http://www.amazon.com/Cruzerlite-Bu...Wallet/dp/B00GDFBCEO/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

As per my understanding, auto lock in flip cover requires proximity sensor information to lock/unlock the phone.
I am not sure how the cases mentioned above works...
Can any one help to understand this?

I've got just a random flip case wich i think it doesnt has such a feature but i thought it should work with the sensor like during a phone call so it could be controlled with an application?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

It's pretty easy to set up with Tasker... I've been playing around with it for a while.
I have a flip case also and I have that set up already - it's crazy useful. Search online there's tons of tutorials explaining what to do.

Flip cases just need a small magnet that let's the phone know it's closed. However the light sensor on the phone would register very dark inclosed within a flip cause which could be used to set this up with software.

The very nice, very inexpensive ($6) MiniSuite Leather case from WalMart (or W...M.com) does this. --Larry

[Q] Samsung style drop down settings buttons

Something I really miss having changed from a SGS3mini with Android 4.1.2 to my new N5 with Kitkat is the buttons for wifi, sync etc. in the drop down home screen menu.
Is there an app I could install please to get this facility on my N5?

Works great. Choose the "notification widget" after you download it to get it like the samsung one.

Kind of impossible holding it with one hand.

Pull down with one finger and hit the top right icon that has a little person in it.. = same as 2 finger pull down
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

The app has things not available in the 2 finger pulldown such as screen rotate toggle.

Not being able to customise the quick settings tiles is its biggest problem. Although once I installed gravitybox, all that went away

App or module for effects?

I like animations sometimes, or for those of you who use Softkey Z or Gravity Box, a glow effect. I was wondering if anyone might know if there was something that could something similar that would show the same when opening an app and hitting any other soft keys.

Firstly, there's a Q&A forum for asking questions or requests... Please use it in future.
Secondly, you have created the same thread 3 times in the wrong forum.
Thread moved and duplicates deleted.

I did not realize the thread was made multiple times. I keep getting failed to connect to servers when I try to post. My bad, Tapatalk isn't working, or the forum constantly goes down.
