[APP][2.3+] Magic Unlock

Hello,
I am the developer behind Magic Unlock
First of all, this app allows you to unlock your phone (after the screen is on) using a hover gesture.
Usage tips
- Lockscreen security needs to be off
- Lockscreen needs to be active
- Works only after the screen is on
- 'On' button means that the app is working
Tehnical data
- Uses proximity sensor for hover detection
- Android service with listening on ACTION_SCREEN_ON/OFF intents
- Proximity sensor reading only when screen is on (battery saving)
- And an adaptive service
Adaptive service settings
- Low priority - app running in background (might be laggy on some devices)
- Medium priority (adaptive) - running in background when enough memory is available / running in foreground (visible notification) when low memory is detected - [recommended setting]
- High priority - always run in foreground (visible notification) - [best responsiveness]

This app will not unlock your phone when is in pocket, Sensor starts listening when the screen is turned on (when home or unlock button is pressed)
On Google play page is an youtube demo

It works...feeling like a magician, but what about battery life?

This app is great. Is there a possibilty to use the air gesture sensor?

The app it's on a lightweight long running service that stays in background when in medium or low priority mode with no sensor listening
so the battery it's not threatened

Does the proximity sensor also recognize different proximity levels???? i ask that, so that i can think of other applications of this feature

This app great

kinda fun..nice and easy to use

Unfortunately no, only 2 boolean values 0/1 or 0/5, but you could think about apps using proximity in combination with light sensor that have many levels

i don't think that is possible, couldn't find any android api for the air gesture sensor
My guess is that they are using a device specific implementation that combines the light/camera/proximity sensors

Working great on Nexus 4, only thing as extra would be making it work together with light sensor, but light change too much based on enviroments

Nice
Works great on E4GT..Very responsive.Low on Ram. And combined with gravity screen off, its great.

Hope its not laggy
Sent from my GT-I8160 using xda app-developers app

Testing on XPeria Z, installation was easy. Will see how it goes
Thanks!

Works perfectly on my Galaxy SII! (SGH-T989)
Will continue to use this for a week and see how it goes. Hopefully, it doesn't take strain the battery.

Ok so i'ts not working for me HTC One. Security and lockscreen are off. but phone goes straight to home screen on power button press.
Also are you thinking of making this work when the screen is off to turn it on? i.e. you could use accelerometer to test when the phone is taken out of the pocket, and at that stage turn the proximity sensor on and wait for hand hover? Seems simple in theory lol
EDIT: Ok Ok Ok last edit, so it works now but its impractical if you need security as someone can just unlock your phone normally (in my case pulling the lock sprite up) without knowing about the magic unlock functionality, on top of that its faster to unlock normally :/ Others seem to find it good though so I guess I'm a one off

Method to Make Raise to Wake up (like) feature on Samsung S7 and other android phones

Today , I am gonna share my personal experience with S7.
When I first use S7 , I missed the "Tap on Fingerprint to unlock" feature of Huawei Mate 7 , also the feature of "Double tap to sleep" of my LG G2.
After some research I found the easiest way to combine the feature from Mate 7 and G2.
So here we go:
step 1: Download the application named "KinScreen" from playstore.
step 2: Download the luncher named "Arrow Launcher" from playstore.
step 3: install luncher and set it as default luncher, open it and enable "Double tap screen to lock" (as shown as picture below), it will ask for device administrator permission just allow it.

}
step 4: open KinScreen app and set it as following picture (if not set by default)
step 5: Now to lock your phone just double tap on your home screen .
step 6: To unlock your phone just hover on your proximaty sensor (if you put your phone in pocket then when you take out from your pocket then it will automatically turn on.. Isn't it awesome.
step 7: Best benifit, If you enabled the Fingerprint unlock on your phone , then when you take out from your pocket then screen will be automatically turn on , so you just have to tap on the home button, no need to press. These features are very good for Home button and Power button safety. Thank you guys for reading this post. And sorry for bad english

Hi,
Else, there is Nova Launcher app which do the same thing, with only one app

And in settings you'll find an option to wake up the phone just hovering your hand over the proximity sensor
Without using third part apps

I tried what you said, but it's not as useful as using "KinScreen" app. Because it will automatically turn on your phone after take out from pocket which is very convenient for me. Not like built in app which will only work, if you put your phone on flat surface and not fast as Kinscreen app.

I already tried Nova before, and I had seen double tap to sleep option, but no proximity uncover to screen on features available there. So you have to use KinScreen along with that luncher as well.

There is a much much much easier way to do this without any third party app. Just go to settings, accesability settings and find the option to wake the phone using proximity sensor (by hovering your hand over it). That way you have the same results as with your way, but you can set it up in under a minute without any extra apps/works.

Yes, that is what I meant. I am using it and I am totally satisfied with it. I love using standard Touchwiz launcher, other third party launcher make my phone feel "cheap" and like it is some other less good phone.

I am happy for you that option makes you satisfied, but for me no... I used above mentioned method because when I take out my phone from my pocket it will automatically turned on, without hovering the proximity sensor, but if I use your method then I have to take out my mobile from my pocket, put it in some flat surface and hover the proximity sensor, it's time consuming. But if I use my method then Phone will be automatically turn on, and I can place my finger on home button to unlock without pressing the button. You just give a shot may be you love what I suggest you ????

That is auto rotate off.. you can turn on auto rotate and it will be gone... If you don't want to turn on auto rotate, you can use System UI Tuner app to remove that icon...

You could install tap, tap and set the double tap on back to turn the screen off. Can't think of another way that would avoid the button on the side.

This is a standard icon has nothing to do with pixel, lg or samsung

The only one launcher that I've found for this feature was Lawnchair v2 (from Playstore), also, does not mess up with Android 11 gestures.

I use the Double Tap but not sure if it will run on Q or higher.
On Playstore, no ads, no internet connection, very small, uses almost no battery and runs flawlessly.
2X tap on/off; I rarely use the power button.

No ads, and doesn't connect to internet.
It say it had ads but my download didn't.
Sets option as device administrator but you don't need to activate that for it to work.
Double Tap - Apps on Google Play
Easy to turn on/off screen without power. Not affected to unlock by fingerprint
play.google.com

I optimized things a little more and went for Single Tap (haha). I'm using "Turn Off Screen" from the Play Store. Basically a nice little "Lock" icon on the home screen. Click... screen is off.
Turn Off Screen (Screen Lock) - Apps on Google Play
One tap to turn screen off and lock. Works with Fingerprint, Touch ID, Face ID.

I blew that one off because it connects with the internet. Has Administrator permissions, right?
Not a good idea if so.
Double Tap never connects and has no ads.

Currently "Turn Off Screen (Lock Screen)" is running great and has "No Permissions Granted".

Themes / Apps / Mods App with Lockscreen, NFC and Wifi Quicksettings Tiles

Hi guys.
Recently bought the phone and have been enjoying it so far.
Couple of nags appeared while using it. The lack of doubletap to sleep and the lack of NFC tile (because I don't want to be blasting my google wallet all day).
So after some investigation and some GitHub fishing I was able to develop an app that does both. The goal was to be as clean as possible and avoiding having background services, especially continuous Acessibility services.
THE APP HAS NO INTERFACE!!!
So what the app does is give you an app icon that you can put on your homescreen. When pressed, that activates an acessibility service that locks the screen and allows use of fingerprint or face unlock. The lock is instant with no fake black screens.
The main advantage here is that the app kills itself and the acessibility service also kills itself so the service only runs for 0,03 seconds while turning the screen off.
You also get a "Lock" quicksettings tile that does the same and a "NFC" tile that activates and deactivates the NFC directly through the tile, updating the status dinamically.
Advantages versus other apps like Tasker:
- Zero background services
- Zero battery usage
- No continuous acessibility services that change how apps behave and introduce lag (see: https://www.xda-developers.com/working-as-intended-an-exploration-into-androids-accessibility-lag/ )
To achieve this the app uses the android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS.
Install instructions:
Install the APK, than go to acessibility and try to activate the service, it will be greyed out. Go back to apps, find the app and press the 3 dot sign on the top right, press allow blocked authorizations or something like that.
Then go to ADB (search on XDA or the web if you dont know how to do that) and give the SECURE_SETTINGS authorization with:
Code:
adb shell pm grant com.buildingromspt.lockandnfc android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
After that the app is ready, use the launcher icon or the quicksettings tile to lock the screen or use the NFC to turn it on or off.
Enjoy!

Pretty cool! Nice work! This was one of my main gripes as well. I just picked up the s23 Ultra which does have the NFC quick setting, but I'll have to give this a try when I flip back to the Pixel for a change of pace.
I'd be interested in a similar solution for a WiFi quick setting - a few less clicks than drilling into Internet first.
Thanks for sharing!

I'm planning on adding a wifi and a Android Auto tile when I have time

Fantastic !! Something i was waiting for a long time on a Pixel ! Thanks for your great job ! I agree for a wifi tile and a transparent widget for lock the screen if it's possible ?
Thanks again.

Unless the power button is broken or something, I think the hardware buttons are good enough to last a really long time. Other components are likely to fail before the buttons do.

It's easy/fast to lock your smartphone with double tap on the home screen, than try to find the power button at night, specially when you come from an Xiaomi MI 10 with reversed volume and power buttons.
And by the way...
Are the hardware buttons on Google Pixel 7 good enough to last a really long time?

Getting used to the buttons is just a matter of time. I would rather get used to the different layout than have an app that runs with Accessibility 24x7.
