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.
If you want to try it, search AirOn on Google Play!
Added 1x1 homescreen widget for start/stop the service.
Thanks for this interesting app.
Does this mean that the proximity sensor is always activated?
What is the impact on battery usage?

Hi. If you enable flip cover mode or turn off, yes, the proximity sensor is always on, otherwise is on when the screen is turned off. Anyway, I have tested this app in various devices (note 4, s5, s2, note 2, nexus 5...) and it doesn't appear in the battery section. This means that battery consumation is >1%. A lot of users confirm this trend, except one.

Thats a little bit perculiar...I can only deinstall it with Titanium Backup ore usw a Nandroid Backup. So no Chance to usw the App for the future without a normaly deinstalling Method...

You'll probably need to deactivate under Settings/General/Settings/Device Administrator first.

For allow you to turn off the screen, this app must have administrator permission. So, if you want uninstall it, you must remove this permission you can do this through the app, simply turn off each mode that allow you to turn off the screen (flip cover and turn off switch). Anyway, paid version is a key, so you must have both installed!
Ok sorry my mistake. I´ve deleted my post^^

Well, probably my english translation is not really good, so something of my app could be confused for users who isn't Italian ☺
This works better than Samsung's built in function. The best part is I used it all day and it doesn't use barely any battery. <1%.
Really useful function, very nice.

I'm glad you like it! I'm working for the next update: I want add the possibility to select apps to exclude from turn off feature.
Been trying it out for a couple of hrs. Works so well i bought the pro version! U know what would be really cool? To be able to access a certain app (for example camera) by a series of cover movements.

Here is an application to make specific programs(like ebook reader,SatNav etc) prevent standby when they are running. It will watch them even when they are in background, so be careful, if you just forget them running in the background, your phone will not go into standby. (v1.1 change: now you can disable background watch by checking "monitor active window only")
Installation:
1- Just install the latest cab file onto Device Memory and NOT Storage Memory.
2- You need .NETCF 3.5, if you don't have it, install it.
Usage:
1- If you will use background watching, find the executable name from Task Manager/Processes, drop .exe part, type it into textbox and click add. (AdobeReaderLE.exe -> AdobeReaderLE)
1a- If you want to watch only the active window (so that your battery doesn't drain if you minimize the whitelist app) Find the window title of the application (Either task manager/applications or just look at the title if it is not hidden) and insert it as above. (Adobe Reader LE this time) you can have both versions live together. There is one limitation to active application watching though, if the application doesn't report a window title in task manager, you can only background watch it. (e.g. htcreader)
2- if you want to remove a certain app, select its name and click remove button.
3- if you want to have KeepAwake open but still not active (to force into standby) click stop.
4- this app autostarts with each boot, if you don't like it, delete the shortcut under \Windows\Startup\KeepAwake.lnk
5- this app starts minimized. if you want to configure settings, select the icon one more time or switch to it using a task manager.
6- if you click quit, obviously the software quits and no more monitoring is done, so click X after configuring if you want it to monitor your apps.
7- if you want to turn off screen and lock keys (for listening to music maybe) you can click the lock button. If your app is running, the phone will still stay awake.
Tips:
1- You can map KeepAwake to a hardware button for easy access and screen locking.
Credits:
Thanks goes to Frank T. van de Ven for ProcessCE library.
Thanks a lot to DaveShaw for letting me use xdaShutdown application.
I'm pretty excited about this... I've been looking for something exactly like this to prevent specific standby times.
I hope it works with most of the applications I have in mind.
Any bugs? Would you guys find it useful to have a lock button so that it turns off the screen and locks keys but still keeps the device awake? I have implemented this for the latest version I'm using (to have my GPS logger going but preventing accidental touch on screen and keys.) Or is it better to keep it simple?
Will this also prevent Windows MSN not to idle which will cause lost connection too?
Sorry, I'm new to the WinMo scene, just saw this on Pocketnews. Let me get this straight, will this work for apps that run in the bg that don't close out IE:
Facebook
Google Maps
Email
Albums
etc.?
because they slow down my phone, I want to close them out completely, not run them in the background so they can take up valuable resources.

I think you need a task manager so that you can close apps. This one is for making certain apps prevent the phone go standby.

I haven't given this a try yet, but any more additions are welcomed! This is something I've been looking for. I think it might be nice to give a way to put settings per application for standby perhaps (like some applications don't let the device go to stand by for 3 minutes, others are like 30 miuntes, etc). I think having't the screen off is a good addition, but keeping the device working is good, so things like voice recorder can work without having the screen on.
Seems to work well for IM services.
I haven't tested it completely for Opera and internet-browsing programs.
Nevertheless, this is a great idea.
new version is up..
What about on option... KEEP IT ON ? (Like LOCK)
This option would simply keep the phone ON, if the application is running in background even if we haven't listed anything
Is it possible? Maybe it's already included?
Thank you
Great app !
It doesn't work on my HD2. Youtube is running and my device locks and stops YT...
Any ideas??

I thought about that but later decided that not many people would find it useful. if enough request comes, I will add it. In the meantime, you might just add an always running app like device or cprog into list manually when you want to keep it on always. or just minimize an app in the whitelist

that's odd. I just tried and Youtube keeps itself open while playing a video for me even without this app. (Locks on the search screen) But still, KeepAwake seems to detect it when it is running. After installing have you clicked on the icon to run KeepAwake? Then minimized it by clicking on X? Have you tried another app, like Adobe Reader for instance? Is youtube minimized or active?
Hi,
Will this application disable lock option on device while using some application - eg. iGO Navigation?
Thanks

as long as you don't lock it yourself, yes, it won't be locked.
Very nice app...much thanks!
The app works for eReader on my Omni II running 6.3 One word of caution I have the x= app closed option turned on so the x shuts down keepAwake. It took me some time to figure out I was closing the app not minimizing it.
How would I go about disabling the standby while in a call? What's the name of the application I need to put in there? I'd like to use it so the sleep during call doesn't stop the call recording utility from working, but I still would like the screen turning off when keeping the phone at the ear.
Doesn't work on touch pro2
The software breaks error when we try to add software to the list, only with the program in background it goes to sleep anyways. It's a good idea, but not there yet...
The app is now on google play, get it there if you want it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5wZXJtby5zbWFydHN3aXRjaGVyIl0.
If you want to support the developer of this app you can get the prokey here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsImNvbS5wZXJtby5zbWFydHN3aXRjaGVycHJva2V5Il0.
Since this app is still very much in development you can see it as a donation, but a donation that gives you access to all the future development and features of this app. It will also give you start on boot and unlimited actions.
# What it does #
Basically what it does is it makes it possible to launch androids taskswitcher (recent apps) or call another action such as home, back, menu or turn screen off by waving your finger past the proximity sensor. You can also set an action to run when your proximity sensor is covered. With a little practice this really makes multitasking much faster. There is now also actions for media like volume, play pause and such, aswell as a flashlight (only tested on galaxy note, probably wont work on all devices) The media-actions are not properly implemented yet, so all actions may not work on all devices.
There is now some other features aswell.
Smart keep screen on will keep your screen on as long as you hold the phone in your hand. When you put it down, it will let the screen go off. I have only tested it on a galaxy note. Feedback on this would be welcomed.
You can now also run an action to keep the screen on permanently, or atleast until you run the action again.
Feel free to try it out.
# Instructions #
Configure actions for each number of waves up to six. The action you choose will then be executed when you wave.
You can also configure an action to launch when you cover your proximity sensor and for when the device is shaken.
If you have trouble with the gestures and smartswitcher recognizes the wrong gesture, you can adjust the gesture sensitivity. If you put this on low, the response and gesture recognition will be fast, but you will have to wave fast also. On high, the opposite is true. If you are not Lucky Luke like me, medium or high should work.
# Planned features #
Multiple actions for one event
Actions: toggle wifi, mobile data, bluetooth, launch apps, etc
Device facedown event
"Franticwave", action for when you wave past all six waves and then stop.
Suggestions, anyone?
# Known issues #
If the gestures stops working, particularly after using the screen off action, the gesturecounter probably consumed some magic mushrooms and forgot to count the waves and got all confused. You can either restart smartswitcher or wave until it starts picking them up again.
# Other #
The powerconsumption of the proximity sensor is extremely low so the impact on your battery should be fairly low. Did anyone using this notice a reduction of battery life, and I mean that in a more scientific way than just checking under battery in your system settings? Was it 5 minutes or 1 hour?
Zenblom made a video of smartswitcher:
He also compiled a list on working devices:
# Confirmed working devices #
- Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000
- Samsung galaxy s3 i9300 international version
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 P6800

Thanks Zenblom!
# Changelog #
Version 1.1.7 2012-08-25
-Added cm10/JB compatible recent apps option.
Smartswitcher behaves really badly in cm10. Since everything worked great in cm9 that I just ran ten minutes ago I am not sure how to handle this. A use at your own risk warning for cm10 maybe?
Version 1.1.6 2012-08-23
- Added non root actions: Toggle airplane mode, launch browser, launch calculator, launch messages, send message, launch camera, launch contacts. Also end call, but it did not work properly so its set invisible for now.
Decided to freeze the features here, or this thing is never going on google play. If you cant find something seriously wrong with this version until tomorrow, its going on play. After that, I will continue developing the app but the updates will come via google play.
The smart keep feature... I may have to scrap that idea. I cant get it to work reliably. It can be made to keep the screen on on very small movements but then it wotn turn the scren off instead. Will fiddle a bit more before I give up. Its now set quite sensitive so it may not turn your screen off properly now, if so you can just press the powerbutton or disable the damn thing
If you have any ideas on how to make this work better, please let me know!
Version 1.1.5 2012-08-21
- Fixed the bug that caused to ui to crash or slow down when you were shaking the device. Should work fine now, so there should now be no need to close the ui when trying actions any more.
- The smartswitcher listening button will now completely (hopefully) unregister sensorlisteners so if you press this button there should be no batterydrainage at all.
- Made the handling of sensors a bit more effective. Now if you have no action on any event that need the accelerometer, it wont register and use battery power. If you set none on accelerometerevents the sensorlistener will unregister and stop using battery. The same goes for the proximity sensor.
I was hoping that the users with a glowing proximitysensor will tell me if I got this to work right
Version 1.1.4 2012-08-20
- Toggle wifi, bluetooth, rotation lock, ringer volume, audio volumeactions added. The do not need root and does things the right way. Audiovolume does not seem to work, will check why.
- Added something I called quick actions menu, but the first time its launched you may wonder why I did not name it slow actions menu After its loaded once it should work faster, it could slow down every once in a while, I will fix this. Note: if you cancel this menu strange things could happen, I forgot to implement oncancel. The plan is that you will be able to make these favouritemenus yourself and add the actions you want, and trigger your new menu on any event. I need a database handler som I have to fix this first. I never intended for this app to do all of this stuff, if I did I would have done things differently from the beginning. I noticed that this menu is counted as a pro action so you can only use it 20 times before it resets, sorry, did not mean for that to happen. For now there is only a few actions hardcoded in there.
Please close Smartswitcher settingsscreen before you start playing with the actions, strange things can happen if you dont. This is betastuff, so you cant expect things to be perfect even though I do my best for them to be as good as possible
Version 1.1.3 2012-08-18
- Added action keep device alive. If you run this, your device will not sleep until next time you run it, period. It wont activate if the device is already being kept awake by the smart keep screen on function, have not tested this very carefully. If you feel a burst of short vibrations, the device is being kept awake. If you use this, dont forget to turn it off, or it will drain your battery.
- Adjusted the shakedetection. It should now work much better and should notmake doubleactions. Try it and tell me if it is better or worse.
- Adjusted the smart keep screen on function to a little less sensitive. Sometimes it did not turn the screen of because i set the sensitivity too high so it detected movement event when it was fairly still. Try it and tell me if I made it better or worse.
- Added support for up to six waves by request. Tested it some, it seemed to work fine.
Version 1.1.2 2012-08-17
- Added action flashlight. Will probably not work on all devices, but it works on my note atleast. Will add more variants for other devices.
- Added EXPERIMENTAL Smart keep screen on function. There is no adjustable settings yet, just on and off. You can try it by setting your screen timeout at a low value like 15 seconds. As long as you hold your phone in your hand, the screen should keep on. If you put it down the screen should go off in 30 seconds or so. I adjusted it to work on my device, but that does not mean it will work good on yours. There is no settings for it yet. Try it, if you dont like it, disable it. Will also spend some time on next version with the shake detection, Its teally not what I wanted it to be. It works, but barely.
Version 1.1.1 2012-08-16
- Added shakedetection. You can now set an action for shake. Note: Will cause the ui to crash, press backbutton to close smartswitcher settings before using it and it should work fine.
Version 1.1.0 2012-08-15
- No visible changes, but lots of changes in the code. I hate spagetticode, so I spent some time removing and rewriting things. Sensorcovered will now really have zero delay if you set that.
- Made the number of proactions allowed to 20, as I said I had done. It seems it was only 10
Version 1.0.9 2012-08-13
- Fixed sensor covered, now it wont trigger any action if you remove your finger within the delay time.
- Added a BUNCH of actions. Some will work on your device, some will not. (Depending on rom, installed apps etc) The new features are for the pro version (Yes I will make a pro version.) I am a nice guy so everything you had before still works, plus you can use the profeatures for a total of 20 times, after that they will reset to no action. You are free to select pro features again for another 20 times. Sorry about this, but I have spent quite a few hours on this app now, and I would not mind getting a few bucks for my work. Please tell me what price you find fair for this app, if any price at all
- Made it so that gestures will work on active phonecall. This means actions like for instance hangup will actually hangup the call. Sensor covered should not interfere with anything now.
Version 1.0.8 2012-08-11
Note: Remaining bug, sensor covered works but the delaysetting does not do what it is supposed to do. That is, even if you remove your finger from the sensor within the delay time, the action will still trigger. Sorry about that, will fix. Too tired now
- Fixed the bug that caused settings to not save after a while. Should work fine now.
- Added configurable settings for sensor covered so you can now set any action for that event. If you have a device with slow sensor you should now be able to launch recent apps by setting sensor covered delay to 0 and action to recent apps. You can now also set screen off as action on any wave.
- Fixed vibration feedback for sensor covered event.
- Removed Screen off setting as it is no longer needed.
- fixed some other bits and pieces and cleaned up the code.
Version 1.0.7 2012-08-09
- Completely rewrote all of the code for taking care of actions. If I am lucky this will take care of the strange superuser permissions error. Unfortunately this way will mean an ever so slightly slower response, but if it turns out this way works better, I will see if I can speed it up some.
- Lots of bugfixes. Wavesettings and gestures off in landscape SHOULD work properly now. So SHOULD the screen off feature.
- Added button to stop Smartswitcher from doing anything at all. Now, please tell me what I have broken this time
Version 1.0.6 2012-08-08
- Added settings for all gestures. You can now disable/enable/configure individual gestures. I did test this, but not very carefully. I should stop doing this so late at night. Please tell me if you find problems.
Version 1.0.5 2012-08-07
- Added option to disable gestures when phone is in landscapemode. Now you dont have to kill smartswitcher if you find it unusable in landscape and then start it again when back in portrait. Let me know if it does not work as intended.
- Changed the vibrationfeedback on recognized gesture to a more gentle level.
- Find my sensor-mode is gone. Kind of useless feature anyway, good riddance to bad feature.
Version 1.0.4 2012-08-06
- Wave once for recent apps, twice for menu, three times for back, four for home. No customizable settings for this yet, I need to sleep now Oh, I broke find my sensor-mode.
Version 1.0.2 2012-08-05
- Configurable delay for the screenoff when sensor covered-feature added
Version 1.0.1: 2012-08-04
- Disableoption for screenoff "bug"
- Changed Get the feel-mode to Find my sensor-mode, hopefully this is not as confusing
More coming. If you have any ideas or suggestions, let me know.

With a little practice this really makes multitasking much faster. Atleast, thats what it did for me. I was hoping for some testers here on xda. I have only tested this on a galaxy note running paranoid, it seems to work fine on that rom on the note, but i would like to see some more testers.
Feel free to try it out. If anyone likes it i will put it on google play. By the way, you need root for it to work. I attached a full version except for autostart on boot that will not work in this version.

The fault may be mine, but just to be overly clear, you have to wave your finger past the sensor AND back again within a relatively small amount of time. Maybe you did that.
What is your phone running?
Hi,
I've been testing both an earlier version and current version and it works fine for me. Could be that I'm also running paranoid (v0.5) on a note.
I shot a video on an earlier version:

Cool! I hope it will be of some use to you. Thanks for testing!
Is this battery friendly? I love the idea and if it doesn't drain my battery quicker than usual I'll be using it instead of the long click of home button.
Please add an option to hide the notification icon. I don't think there is a need for it as this is a set it once and forget about it app. You don't go changing the settings every day.
Thank you and good luck with this awesome project!
EDIT: btw, I'm running stock rooted 4.0.4 and this works great!
Oh god that's a great idea ! Way faster than long-pressing home button. It works like a charm on jellybean cm10.

I was expecting someone to tell me to remove the notification icon I know, It was really useful get to the settings quickly when I was developing it. I will see what I can do to remove it. As for the battery, I have not really noticed any change in drainage at all, but please tell me if you experience any bad impact on battery life.
Thanks for testing!

Excellent! Wave on
One small notion i made: I recently installed WidgetLocker and it's possible to swipe your finger for recent apps while the lockscreen is active/visible. Not that it's disturbing but it's good to know! In ics lockscreen everything works as intended!
Doesn't work on mine unfortunately....I'm on LRG
Only vibrated

I am actually aware of this problem. I have sent an email to the developer of widgetlocker but no answer yet. I could not find a way to detect when widgetlocker was running so i could disable smartswitcher. I will keep trying to fix that issue. Thanks for letting me know!

Thats a bit strange. It worked for a previous poster on LRG if I am not mistaken. I don´t mean to offend you, but are you sure you are doing it right? Set the sensitivity to high and try a few more times. If you enable the somewhat strangely named Get the feel mode, the phone will vibrate a little when it "sees" your finger, thats just to help you find the sensor. The Vibrattion setting will make the phone vibrate a little longer when you waved correctly. If you cant get it to work, let me know and I will try to help you get it working.

No matter how I slavery finger over it (fast or slow), it just vibrates and nothing happens....I'm on the stock LRG kernel.

You must de-select "get the feel"mode in the app menu, otherwise out only vibrates
Carefully crafted on my Galaxy Note, for your eyes only
I installed it minutes ago,
and it works great.
Switched to high.
I'm on classic rom v3.
Only thing is, deactivate vibration and feel mode, but still feedback with vibration.

Not working on cleanote rom really like the idea though!
Will be keeping up to date with this for sure!

Uhm I think I've understand you question, and the app I usually use works also if I use with the locked screen, also
If I press the home button during the lighting...
If you mean your app, I've tried many times and ways but nothing happens that before

Thank you for the feedback!
If I add the "settings" to turn off vibrate it wouldn't be 1-Click any more Vibration has been added to prevent accidental turn on the flashlight. Some people need this.
About permissions - the led is a part of a camera. Android does not give access to the flash separately, only the camera entirely.

Please check my new app (in the same style):

Switch on / off by pressing the icon. Frequency adjustable by volume buttons.

I've changed my mind, free version available again in all contries. :good:
But if you install the A-Flashlight (similar app cost $1), I can drink an extra cup of coffee

Is there an app that will shut my screen off? I used one but it forces me to use a pin even if I use the fp reader
What's so difficult about a short press on the Power Button? Or change the Settings / Display / Sleep to less than the default 5 minutes.
In Settings / Fingerprint ID / Fingerprint Management (you will need your PIN here) is Unlock Screen set to On (blue with the circle on the right)?

I actually don't like using the hardware button to close screen. On my previous phone I would double tap to close screen but setting up that action with my launcher conflicts with fingerprint reader. While I normally don't use a flip case I bought one on a lark for my Mate 9. Mine (by Qialino) will close your screen automatically when you close the flap and the fingerprint reader works fine when you open it. You can bend the flip cover back and it will support the phone in landscape although it depends on the surface as it is not really designed for that..

Nothing, but Mate 9 is first mobile what I have what this not have. I about 3years not use power button on my mobiles(G2, G4). And I not use power button to wake up. LG have double tap like standard. Not this.... May be better made widget to lock from floating circle.

I see, sorry. I've never had a phone that didn't need a press on the power button to lock. I had a look at a couple of apps since reading our post - they needed the PIN on wake, which negates the value.
I shall head to the Huawei site and suggest this (putting th ephone face down to lock) for their next update. At present, they suggest you use the "floating dock" to lock your phone without pressing the power button.
http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/faqs/detail/index.htm?id=121864
Why does fingerprint unlock fail after I lock the screen with a third-party app?
Cause : For security reasons, the fingerprint unlock service does not allow third-party apps to access your fingerprint data.
Solution : Use the lock button in the floating dock, or press the power button to lock the screen.

You can enable the floating dock by swiping down with two fingers - it is one of the quick toggles.

Yes I wrote this. But no one click lock. ZTE Z11 have simple lock screen widget. Huawei have floating circle and double click lock screen. It's not user friendly. But at least something. I very often working from my car. It's not user friendly to lock screen by floating circle by Huawei.
Latest Chinese rom B165SP01 has a default widget to lock screen now. Just have to wait for Huawei to update for other regions if they decide to port the function over.
Huawei added it after a lot of Chinese users complained on the forums. I guess they do look on the Chinese forums and read feedbacks.

Ah yes! What a silly place to put a widget! Actually, the reason I didn't see it is that it does not appear on my page of widgets for my launcher (Total Launcher). I checked and it did work with the default launcher as well as Nova.
Is there a way to import that widget to the us version?
A single tap icon to turn off screen would be great. The floating thing is cumbersome. There is a power bar widget in the UK phone but it only turns off wifi etc. There's a reboot widget too. The bit in the middle is missing.
The external app I tried took from 3 up to 15 seconds to fully switch off : it clears the screen immediately but the screen isn't actually off, just very nearly so. In that time, nothing responds.

Is it possible to find the system app for this widget and post it here? (you can just copy the apk file from system app set, using Total Commander, for example )

It is part of System UI. Using quickshortcutmaker, it shows as com.android.systemui/com.huawei.keyguard.onekeylock.OneKeyLockActivity
I have attached the apk, I guess you can try to install it.

You will probably need root for that.
I think I found a way to shut the screen off by double tap with this app
I wrote a little app for myself which turns the fingerprint sensor on Galaxy S7 Edge into a capacitive Home button - so you don't need to press the button physically, just touch it like a sensoric button. There are already similar apps on the Play Store, however none of them have an option to quickly enable/disable the service via Quick Settings custom tile (Android 7+ feature). It's a useful feature, because if you need to authenticate with your fingerprint in any app, it's needed to disable the service temporary.
App service runs in foreground thus there is a persistent notification placed in the notification bar. You can quickly pause/disable the service from this notification, or better use the Quick Settings custom tile. If you don't like the persistent notification, just hold you finger on the notification - notification setting will be opened and you can disable it (notification will be hidden but app still works fine).
Android 7+ is required, I'm using the app for several days already and there were no issues and no battery impact. I recommend to exclude the app from battery saving options to prevent it being killed by the system.
This app rely on Samsung SDK so it will probably work only on official or modified official firmware.
Don't forget to register at least one fingeprint in system settings, otherwise the app may not work.
Source code is available here: https://sourceforge.net/p/fingertouchapp/code/ci/master/tree/
UPDATED on 2017-05-18:
New version v1.2.5:
- fixed crash when Fingertouch service is killed by system
v1.2.4:
- added check if at least one fingerprint is registered in the device
- notification bar is now closed on home button touch
- main screen is now scrollable (in case you use large system font)
v1.2.3:
- added option to start on boot
- added option to change the touch delay (useful if you use Samsung 'double tap' camera feature)
Get it for free on PLAY STORE
There is also PRO version if you wish to donate, it includes app whitelist and long touch function. PRO version has ability to disable itself automatically (for 4 seconds) when fingerprint authorization is requested in other apps. So you don't even need to use whitelist and you have 4 seconds to authorize with your fingerprint in any app after the request is made.
Uninstall the previous version 1.2.2 before installing 1.2.3!
Thank you! This works great so far!
Thank you very much for this, working as described. I'm planning on using this for a day and reporting on battery use, what has been your experience? Also, for anyone wondering, this does not affect the lockscreen fingerprint to unlock. Double tapping to open the camera does not work though. Great app to extend the life of the home button.
Edit: no noticeable difference in battery after several days use. Thank you for your great work
Works like a charm. Greate work dude.
flawless, just flawless. thanks.
hated the vibration so i just disabled feedback vibration in settings and its now silent :thumsup:
Wow, works, thank you!! @ranwej,
Can't you add a function that in case of longer touch will trigger a scanner instead ? I mean automatically. This could be function for donators )
Btw double tap on home must work for camera This would be show stopper for me

Yes it sometimes vibrates on very short/light touch, unfortunately it's Samsung SDK thing and I can't do anything about it. I don't like it as well
Regarding the question about battery, I haven't seen this app in Android battery usage list, so I would say it has neglible efect. But I have very good SOT overall (8+ hours).

I don't plan to add other features as I don't need/use them, including double tap camera. I would recommend you to try other similar apps on Play Store which have additional features, for example "easyHome" or "HomeTouch".
That's a really pity then... I like the concept, I would even donate for it.
The HomeTouch you have proposed seems to work with Doubletouch even with lite version still some additional functionality I have proposed would add additional value to your app, on top of current one like Quick panel and nice and clean design. Anyway, probably that is not your goal so thank you for sharing anyway.
Neat!
Really love the lightweight apk. Double tap camera would be the icing on the cake but i can live without kit. Good work!
Thanks works like a charm

Should state in the OP that fingerprint need to be set up for this app to work. I never used fingerprint security feature and this is why the app didnt work.
Double click opens camera btw
Wow that vibration feedback is rather annoying
Working pretty good over here on stock Verizon non rooted..
My double tap to launch camera is working with zero issues coming from inside different apps, or even from AOD and lock screen..
The thing that I did notice right away while I was testing was although everything is working okay for me, the only thing I haven't been able to execute is clearing the notification pull down with a capacitive home button touch, once it's pulled down completely.. In order for me to get rid of the pull down is to actually press on home key.. Not an issue for me but it seemed a little odd..
Thanks for this!! Super useful for me
One of the best apps I have ever used! Thanks friend! Keep up the great work!
