Hi everyone :victory:,
I've just found out a very convenient app to control the screen on/off automatically:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=novum.inceptum.smartscreen
But it makes the proximity sensor led red all the time although the screen is on or off (like during a call), is it safe?

Hey guys, I'm running Khalpower's V4 (following the video tutorial which was great)
I realized the light sensor now controls the 4 lit buttons at the bottom part of the phone. I'm okay with it but I realized that sometimes its not accurate and it really distracts me going on and off. Any idea if I can turn off the light sensor controlling when the buttons are lit?
Thanks!
ure looking for this one ? " LED Control "

Hello ppl. I`m using Tap Tap App for unlocking my DS because I don`t want to destroy the power button and my question is this: this app or similar ones (like pocket sensor) can destroy in time proximity sensor?
The proximity sensor sits under the screen, you can't touch it, so howdo you think it could be destroyed? Just by using it, i highly doubt it.
Not that I'm aware but you will run your battery down quicker because of the proximity sensor being on all the time
4 days and 10h (staying on) just speaking at phone and some internet and with tap tap app active. who has an desire s what you are using for unlock screen beside power button? i really don`t want to brake it :|
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.
anyone elses proximity senser glow red when using air swiper app with screen on and off options enabled?
I have an old Acer Iconia A500 I wish to repurpose into a "dashboard" and mount on my wall for my home automation system. Ideally, I'd like it to turn off the screen after 5 minutes of not being used (not dim, but off, like I'd hit the sleep button on the side), then wake when someone taps anywhere on the screen, but can't seem to find much information on the topic. I've found Tap Tap App, which relies on the proximity sensor to wake the device when you tap or wave over the sensor, but I think the A500 only has a light sensor, not a proximity sensor, plus a tap is more intuitive.
Does anyone know of a solution?
