After a great success of ProximtyScreenOffLite (more than 68,000 downloads) I decided to take all the feedback and feature requests by users and improve the features and quality of the app.
Pro Features:
Pocket/Flip or Smart Cover Mode: Turns screen OFF when sensor covered and ON when uncovered. (Feature requested by Galaxy Note users)
Turn Screen On/Off with following gestures:
Swipe Once,
Swipe Twice,
Swipe and Hold,
Hold and Swipe and
Cover and Hold
Ignore Apps list: Add the apps/games where you want to disable the service
Widget: to start and stop the service
ScreenOff shortcut: to turn off the screen by launching the app.
Sensor Configuration : Based on your device select the sensor of your choice, or the one that's available and configure their values, as they are different for different devices.
Enable screen on/off during calls only
Disable call handling completely
Battery saving options: De-Activate sensors after timeout and De-Activate sensors when power button pressed or system goes idle.
Override power button and screen-on by other apps (Phone is in pocket and you get a call or you accidentally press the power button, screen will remain off)
Prevent accidental screen on
Vibration on screen On/Off
Tips on using Light sensor for tablets/phones
Value when sensor covered
Tip: if you choose light Sensor and if you vales range from 0 to >50, keep this at around 15 (Use the charts to see what values sensors give out)
Value when sensor un-covered
Tip: if you choose light Sensor and if you vales range from 0 to >50, keep this at around 16​

Can't you provide us XDA Members a PRO version for free? Like the awesome dev of SetCPU, you can still leave it on Google Play as PAID version, but at least here in XDA it would be great to avail it, Even for a Limited time, That would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your hard work!

Yes this would be great! I can't buy things on Play Store.

I ve used it but sometimes it just picks up the phone while in my pocket lol. Any sale(discount) out for this ?

Galaxy Note manages this situation itself fine:
screen goes off when you pick up the call and put phone to ear, and it goes on when you remove (without hanging the phone) if you need to turn on loudspeaker or something else
accidental call pickup probability on GNote is practicaly zero: you have to swipe to pickup call...
otherwise, I can lock my phone (and turn of display) by pushing power button, easily, if not, screen goes off after specified time
so for this app gives few second benefits on GNote, maybe for other phone its great, but on note I think it is unnecessary (its just my opinion)

I bought the pro version. Nice one. My Device Galaxy N7000. Works as said. One suggestion is when In screen Off optin/prefernces only 'Cover and Hold to Screen OFF' with one second Time out and in all setting Override Power button checked on. Now when the Power/Home button is pressed twice, the Screen shall be on. Very good. My suggestion is if the gap between the two press is more than specified time (say same as selected in Timeout), the First pressing of Power/Home button should be ignored. and similarly if the gap between the second and third press is more than a specified time, the second press shall be ignored, and so on.. ( I could not email to Sailesh/Developer because outlook is not my email client. thanks)

I have the same pro version as well. It works when i put the mobile close to my ear..but when there is another waiting call while am talking to somone in call, it picks up the waiting call automatically and held the first call. Strange, i have tried all the settings..but nothing worked out
am using flip cover for my note, sometimes it picks the calls automatically.

And how do i prevent that the screen turns on in pocket ?
Okay i fixed it with automatically turning on the screen by just waving my hand 3 times and then it worked normal..
Oh and in the pocket the screen off, sometimes when i put it out, it turns on the screen, but thats normal cuz it recognizes something is moving near the sensor)
Awesome !! :- ))

My wife, changed her old Nokia for a Galaxy wonder and missed her "meeting" profile. So I wrote her this small app. I hope you'll find this app useful. It's been tested on my Galaxy Note 4. Any suggestions and remarks are most welcome.
Main Features:
When in silent or vibration mode, if the phone rings a single beep is played (like the "meeting" profile in the old Nokia phone)
Replace the default beep with a ringtone from the phone's ringtone list.
Control the ringtone volume.
Display different notification icons when in normal or silent modes.
Automatically set silent mode according to the calendar, with possibility to ignore all day/private/free/tentative events and selecting calendars.
Automatically set silent mode when facing up/down.
Automatically restore ringer after a timeout.
Play ringtone for selected notifications (both customizable).
Play a sound effect when the device is automatically set to silent mode (downloaded from freesfx).
Mute device a few minutes (configurable) before an event.
Flash the flash led for incoming call and notifications.
A widget to turn on/off the service and switch between normal and silent modes, including:
Simple toggle widget.
Analog clock widget that shows the next calendar events.
Timer widget that sets silent mode to a predetermined period of time.
Future features I may (or may not include):
Filter calendar events according to keyword.
Filter events according to contacts (Thanks Magissia).
Allow selecting different ringtones for notifications according to contact (thanks Variable.Unknown)
Profile buttons on the notification for easy profile change (not sure if this could be done for android < 3).
Known Issues:
None at the moment...

Changelog
Changelog
Code:
[SIZE=4]Version 0.8[/SIZE]
[LIST]
[*] A lot!
[/LIST]
[SIZE=4]Version 0.61[/SIZE]
[LIST]
[*] In the widget configuration dialog, the timer-picker is now enabled only when "Timed silent widget" is selected.
[*] Changed timestamp in the message log to present real date/time string.
[*] Fixed wrong gravity sensor polling timeout - causing ringer to never change ringer mode when facing up/down.
[*] Fixed crash when ringtone was not found - it will now use a default one in this case, and present an error message.
[*] Fixed crash when restoring alarm and no next event is found.
[/LIST]
[SIZE=4]Version 0.6[/SIZE]
[LIST]
[*] Fixed bug where in some devices the widget configuration appeared before properly placing the widget - causing ringer to crash when pressing the "Okay" button. Due to this bug it was almost impossible to add a widget on these devices.
[*] Attempt to fix an issue where Ringer crashed while playing the ring-tone (this is an attempt because the problem is relatively rare and I'm unable to reproduce it on my device...).
[*] Fixed issue where on some devices the notification icons appeared too big.
[*] Instead of waking up the device every time to check the gravity sensor ("Poll gravity sensor when screen is off"), now keep the device awake all the time using a partial wake lock ("Keep device awake") - I've read somewhere that this might be more battery friendly.
[*] Updated SDK to v4.4.2.
[*] Added infrastructure for automatic version update.
[*] Some more minor bug fixes and code improvements.
[/LIST]
[SIZE=4]Version 0.55[/SIZE]
[LIST]
[*] Added a message log to be able to better trace issues.
[/LIST]
[SIZE=4]Version 0.54[/SIZE]
[LIST]
[*] Improved ClockWidget graphics a little bit.
[*] Increased ClockWidget base resolution, so it should rescale better now (for launchers that allow rescaling).
[*] Added build date to the about information and crash report.
[*] Fixed widget size - was 2x1 for some devices.
[*] Fixed issue where sometimes device went back to sleep before changing ringer mode.
[*] Fixed few crashes when playing ringtone.
[/LIST]
[SIZE=4]Version 0.4[/SIZE]
[LIST]
[*] Toggle widget now shows the next meeting.
[*] Allow to activate also in vibration mode.
[*] Show information about last toggle (why and when).
[*] Added exception handler, allow user to send crash report.
[*] Add beep for all notifications - each application can be set with a separate ringtone and volume (Ringer must be enabled as an accessibility service for this feature).
[*] Added timeout dialog feature when muting the device manually (an automatically restore ringer volume after selected timeout).
[*] Allow using alarm to wake up device to read the gravity sensor for the face up/down options (may lead to high battery drain).
[*] Allow to aggressively restart service (when the service is killed by the OS - may lead to high battery drain).
[*] Fix Nexus 4 crash when using automatic silent mode according to calendar.
[*] Additional bug fixes and improvements.
[/LIST]
[SIZE=4]Version 0.3[/SIZE]
[LIST]
[*] Select calendars to watch.
[*] Added simple silent mode (no ringing at all).

[/LIST]
[SIZE=4]Version 0.2[/SIZE]
[LIST]
[*] Automatically set silent mode according to the calendar (with possibility to ignore all day/private/free/tentative events).
[*] Automatically set silent mode when facing up/down. It seems that in order for this feature to work while the screen is off a partial wakelock must be taken - this might lead to higher battery drain (the wakelock can be disabled in the advanced settings section).
[*] Added sound effect when the device is automatically set to silent mode (downloaded from [URL="http://www.freesfx.co.uk/"]freesfx[/URL]).
[*] Changed the default beep sound (downloaded from [URL="http://www.freesfx.co.uk/"]freesfx[/URL]).
[*] Added a widget to turn on/off the service and switch between normal and silent modes.

[*] Changed minimum android SDK to 2.2

Going to have to try this out. Found a few other apps on the market that kinda do this put pack in to many other features I don't want or need.

Hey zevele, thanks for making this app. I installed it yesterday before my shift at work - it read from my work-specific calendar and set vibrate mode on/off and the start/end of my shift, worked like a charm! I couldn't ask for a simpler profile switching system.
BTW I'm using it on my HTC One with ViperOne 3.0. Thanks again!

Good idea, i miss this from my Nokia too, i had a software that was used to put the phone in silent when given keyword was found on the calendar, meaning it would never ring when in a meeting if you're not in a said contacts group.
Thanks for your work, will definitively look how your app goes.

Thanks Magissia,
"white listing" contacts is a nice idea - I might put it in...
I also got a few crash reports which I fixed and now I want to check it a little bit - I'll probably release the new version next week.

Version 0.54
New version - mainly bug fixes,
Improved ClockWidget graphics a little bit.
Increased ClockWidget base resolution, so it should rescale better now (for launchers that allow resizing the widget).
Added build date to the about information and crash report.
Fixed widget size - was 2x1 for some devices.
Fixed issue where sometimes device went back to sleep before changing ringer mode.
Fixed few crashes when playing ringtone.
Thanks,
Z.

Just a heads up: this app and thread have just been posted on Lifehacker
http://lifehacker.com/ringer-customizes-your-phones-ring-settings-links-to-1490318917
Congrats... I have a feeling you may have more users soon...

Smart Ringers?
Nice application! Not really something I personally would get use from, but I can see the usefulness.
Here's an idea I've had, and I'd love to make it into an application, but I've never started learning code and I lack the patience. The idea is individual Notification ringtones, so you can set it so different contacts trigger a different ringtone.
Android can already do it with calls, but not with notifications. It seems simple enough to me, detect the contact whom the message came from and play the appropriate sound to go with it, if one has been set.
I'm not sure if that's what you meant by "Filter calls according to contact." If what I described is what you meant, awesome idea! If that's not what you meant by it, include it if you want and I'll be happy to feel like I contributed. I think it would be a great addition to a great application.

Thanks, the idea behind white listing contacts is to filter the calendar meetings also according the participants - not exactly what you suggested. I also like your idea of filtering notifications according to contacts.

works well

Notification icon
Is there any way to get rid of the active notification icon in the status bar? That real estate is precious and I would rather not have the icon there?
Solved: I went into Settings/Applications/Ringer and toggled off the Notifications.

I use ringer mostly for the Auto-Ringer option.
Any chance that you could add a android wear support so the wear is put to silent when auto-ringer mutes the phone by calendar or facing down on the table?

[APP][TEQTIC][4.1+] KinScreen - Most advanced screen control

Introducing KinScreen:
Do you find yourself poking your screen to keep it from turning off? Want to turn your screen on without the power button? KinScreen automatically keeps your screen on while you're using your phone, but turns it off more quickly when you aren't to save battery power.
Please check www.dontkillmyapp.com to make sure KinScreen is able to run in the background!
Brief Overview
• Turn screen on
- with a wave
- by tilting up
• Turn screen off
- by covering screen (pocket, face down)
- by tilting down
• Keep screen on
- while holding phone (motion or tilt)
- by waving over screen
- while using specific apps
- while on a call
- while charging
- indefinitely via widget, QuickSettings, or notification manual toggle
• Set a separate timeout for the lock screen
• Set a maximum time to keep the screen on
• Works in the dark unlike Samsung's Smart Stay
• No ads
Originally released in 2014, KinScreen is continually being improved based on user feedback and feature requests.
Install now and forget about keeping your screen on! Once you understand its capabilities, you will immediately notice it missing on a new device!
Customer service is a top priority at TEQTIC. If you experience an issue, please use the "Contact support" menu option inside the app or email [email protected] before leaving a negative review! We usually reply to all emails within 48 hours, and often much quicker.
Detailed Overview
Turn screen on with gestures
Save the wear and tear on your power button by using gestures to turn the screen on. You can use KinScreen to turn the screen on via the proximity sensor or by lifting the device up. Uncovering the sensor allows you to pull your phone out of your pocket and have the screen turn on automatically. Waving over the sensor works great when your hands are dirty! You may also set a tilt angle that turns the screen on when the phone is lifted up.
Keep screen on automatically
Choose from various methods to detect use of the device and keep the display on. The motion method detects small movements from you just holding the device. Waving over the proximity sensor is another method that optionally extends the timeout. The tilt angle method allows the display to stay on when propped up, even when you aren't holding it. You can also choose to have the display stay on while using certain apps, while charging, or while on a call (display still turns off when you put the phone to your ear).
Time screen out quickly to save battery
You can choose the screen timeout when no keep-on rules are actively keeping the screen on. If the screen isn't being kept on, it should time out quickly to save battery power. The timeout can be even shorter when the proximity sensor is covered (in-pocket or face down), or when the device is pointed down. You can also set a separate timeout for the lock screen. KinScreen will not turn the screen off when other apps are keeping the screen on, unless you have selected to actively turn the screen off.
Resource Use
KinScreen is designed to be as efficient and battery friendly as possible. It uses little CPU and RAM, and sensor use is highly optimized. Some functions use more power than others. The proximity sensor may use noticeable power on some older devices, but is negligible on most modern devices. Turn-on-by-tilt-angle will use significant battery power because it needs to keep the device awake in order to work. You may use the configurable exceptions to limit the time this function is in use.
Premium Version
The settings are highly customizable to your taste. Fine-tuning of parameters is locked in the free version. Please upgrade to premium to fully unlock these features and support future development!

Hey there, I tried your app cause Google Play suggested it after installing LeanData
Very nice, screen-on time settings were always bugging me - there is alternatives to your app but I like the simplicity.
I may have found a bug too:
I have an RSS news feed widget on one of my lock screens. When I turn on the screen and do not unlock the phone but simply scroll through the feed, the phone ignores that the screen is being touched and the screen turns off. This does not happen when your app is turned off. The widget is not on the main lock screen, if that matters. I am on a rock stable clean AOSP custom ROM, VANIR.
thanks for another great simple app! cheers

Thanks for trying it out. That is very strange, the app should not be able to time the screen out if you are touching it. The time out on the lock screen is 10s, are you sure you're not waiting this long between touches? Remember KinScreen won't keep the screen on on the lock screen.

I understand what you're saying, but I tried it out again, even after the update, and the screen turns off no matter what. I am scrolling through the news feed, touching the screen every second or so to test it. It might very well be that the fault is on the ROMs side, even though this doesnt happen with KinScreen deactivated. Any other way I could help you with this? Would a logcat be of any use?
cheers

It's Chronus, and it's the plain news widget placed on the lock screen. You don't need Chronus Pro in order to place that on your lockscreen.

Hi oll0,
I just checked it out. It's a bug in Chronus not KinScreen. Set your screen time-out to 15s with KinScreen disabled, lock the screen and go to the widget. Keep scrolling the news and you'll see the screen times out. The reason you noticed it with KinScreen enabled is because it sets the time-out on the lock screen to 10s. Without it you probably have a 1 minute time-out, so you'd have to be scrolling Chronus for a minute for the screen to finally time out.

You're right, thanks man. I notified the Chronus team about the bug.

Fantastic app, does what I'm looking for while being lightweight and hassle free
Converted from Gravity Screen Pro as it was somewhat fiddly/had options I didn't necessarily want or need and I couldn't turn off.

Yea, I actually thought of writing KinScreen when I came across Gravity Screen and thought, I need to do this and make it simple, efficient, and hassle-free.
Let me know if you guys have feature requests.

Maybe an option to customise the timeout lengths (although the current ones work quite well), or an option to disable proximity (or make movement take precedence) in landscape mode as a lot of phones are designed such that you're likely to cover up the sensor holding it.
Can't really think of anything else that might be useful and isn't there.

After testing (almost every single one of them) and buying a couple of similar apps, of which some you graciously mentioned in your app's description page, I can say I prefer yours the best. It's simple and doesn't interfere with Android wakelock and deep sleep interfering with battery usage.
Everything works just fine and I don't dare asking for any improvements unless I can freeze the current version :silly:
The only feature I'd like is the same than mentioned by epithetic to have a longer time out length as it seems that I sometimes get in a dreamy state in front of the screen

Thanks for the kind words. Is it timing out too quickly when it's on a desk? The idea is that it should never time out while you are holding it (unless you're holding it super still).
I am adding the ability to configure your own time outs, but they will be premium features. That's almost finished but I still need to figure out the setting of the lockscreen timeout in KitKat. Just a heads up if you've donated already, I can refund that back to you if you'd like to unlock the premium version.

I guess I must have stayed really still during those moments. It's true though about the dreamy state I can get in while holding the phone. The time outs work fine as long as a thumb or a finger hovers above the screen kick in when I hold the phone with all my fingers and thumbs staying out of the screen's scope (I think it's called the proximity sensor). I was hesitating to ask for this feature because as I understand it's how capacitive screen is supposed to work. Thus adding a longer time-out will just remedy partially to my personal issue. I don't want to see anything that could create bugs in Kinscreen because like I said, I've tested (almost) all of its counterparts (+30 apps) and none got the thing right for me. I guess that if I can have a say in this, I'm fine with the update as long I can go back to the current version (1.2).
I don't mind paying for a premium at all. You deserve it :highfive:. When will you introduce the feature? I made two very small donations last May and this month of June because I like your program so much and wanted to support the dev. with my small means. I know most paid android apps are quite affordable and I'm all for supporting the dev as much as I can.

Awesome, thanks a lot I appreciate it. I'm glad it's working well.
Yes, you'll be able to set timeouts for the following:
1) Nothing in proximity and no motion (for example you set it on a table). Default is 20s.
2) Something in proximity. Default is 10s.
3) Lockscreen. Default is 10s. However, I haven't been able to successfully change this time on kitkat, which also seems to have its own default of 10s.
Update 1.3.0 should be coming out in the next couple of days depending on how much time I find.
P.S. there is a terrible bug in 1.2 that will also be fixed. The bug is if you toggle the service off, it actually manages to keep going until the system (or you) end the cached process.

Wonderful. My system is Jelly Bean 4.2.2 so I don't have the problems brought by KitKat (which seems to have brought a string of issues in this version for developers). I also don't use the Lockscreen as Kinscreen answers to all my needs although yes, I'd like to have the option of 20s delay with it because I think my particular problem is with the 10s setting somewhere.
All in all, I'll be happy to morph into the club of paid Kinscreen owners.

New version is out:
1.3.0 (June 6, 2014):
-Fixed bug where service would continue to partially run when toggled off
-Added premium options to change 3 types of time-outs
-New toggle switch in action bar
-Removed notification in status bar (still present in notifications drawer)

Got the update and paid for the upgrade. It's really swell to be able to change the time outs. I use KinScreen with your other app LeanData to manage my connections. Both apps are just efficient and to the point. Bravo.

Thank you for the kind words. It's working pretty flawlessly for me. It's nice to power on the phone, do whatever, then slip it in my pocket without even turning it off, knowing it'll be off in 5-10s.
Any other improvements you can think of?

Hi there,
I can't think of anything at the moment, the app is perfect for me with the time-outs option added. Congratulations on writing such good apps and believe me, I'm a very thorough tester (quantity and process wise). I wish your developments the very best.
