Hello.
I like when my phone automatically enables screen when I flip the case off, but I hate situations when my phone suddenly decides to lock itself, e.g. while playing games or watching videos. Is there any way to disable this "automatic lock" feature on the device? I want it to react ONLY to screen timeout and power button, without any proximity or gravity stuff, the same way it was on my old Nexus 4. It didn't interrupt me when I was using it.
Thanks.

I like the simplicity of the stock security lock feature that comes with the touch pro... However the options for it are somewhat limited. I was wondering if there was a way to edit it to my liking.
For example, the option 0 Minutes will prompt the pin screen after 1 minute of inactivity OR when the device is in sleep mode... I would like to keep the feature of locking the phone when I put it into sleep mode, but I would like to increase the time of inactivity to say 3 minutes before it will do it automatically
Or maybe just an option to only security lock the device manually with the long press end key? That would work for me as well.
Doing a little more thinking about this, Id much rather have the security lock on manual, and long press end key locks the device... i dont like how itll pop up when im watching a video, is there any way to edit this without having to install a 3rd party program instead?
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.
This is not my work I liked it so I though it's worth sharing
Your phone is on a plane surface and you want to see the time? Bored to search a button for turn on/off the screen? Do you want to preserve the home/power key? Try AirOn!
Designed in material design, AirOn allow you to turn on/off the screen covering the proximity sensor, then uncovering and covering it again (default config).
There is also a special mode for flip covers, that allow you to turn on the screen when the cover is opened, off otherwise.
Please, note that when the service is running, a notification will be displayed, in order to ensure that the process is not killed by the system. If you don't like the notification, disable it in settings-app-airon, then unchecked "show notification".
If you want more customization, buy the premium key and unlock these features:
- Vibration settings: choose a vibration strenght when turn on/off the screen with AirOn;
- Detection strategy: set the number of detections of the proximity sensor required for turn on/off the screen;
- Speech: activate the time pronunciation when the screen is turned on.

Hello all,
My N5 has its power button weared down. These last two days I wasnt able to turn it on because of the classic boot loop.
How can I prevent this?
I currently installed Gravity Screen to reduce power button usage to the minimum. I like how it unlocks my phone (movemente and proximity sensor work fine) but locking it doesnt seem very convenient as it doesnt support shakelock or double tap or gestures.
I'd like some app or ROM that enables me to lock my phone with a shake and unlocks it in the same fashion (or a double tap on the screen like the opo cellphone).
Are there any options?
Thanks
My daughter likes to watch Curious George on the phone and of course finger mash the screen. I use touchlock to disable the touchscreen and physical buttons so she can watch without issues. I just found out that in /settings/accessibilty/dexterity & interactions/interaction control, you can hold power and up volume to do the same thing. That sounds great and all and most likely that setting is used for the exact reason that I use touchlock..................but everytime you enable it while watching a video, you have to choose which portions of the screen will be disabled or click full screen. The problem is when you do enable it and select what you want, the videos pause and then you can't use the touchscreen. My question is whats the point of this if you can't press play after its enabled?
That sounds crazy. But I think is one of those features they didn't think it through.
