Hi there,
is there any hack or mod that prevent the S7 Edge LED View Cover from locking the screen when closed so that e.g. I can continue to use my camera to shoot pics with the volume buttons with the closed LED-View cover similar to the S-View Cover?
Any help appreciated!

Hey,
Could You please modify the upcoming egde kernel so that the screen won't turn on when the home Button is pressed inside our pockets. It would really improve our battery and omit unwanted pocket photos. LG already has it in all their G series, it's a simple proximity Sensor addon. I am asking cause I would like to enjoy edge Features and therefore planning to stay Stock.
Kind Regards,

While I agree with having a option to wake with the home button or not. Use a pattern or password lock screen. You can omit having a camera icon from any lock screen.
That way if your screen does turn on, the likely hood of taking pictures or pocket calls is very minimal.
I use gravity screen app. Keeps phone off in pocket and auto turns it on when pulling it out. Customisable. Great.
You can modify it to disable home button wake. @dwitherell

I'll Sure try it cause what happened to me today was really frustrating, I had my phone in my pockets and after sometime I felt my legs were burning hot so I quickly brought it out thinking the LiPo was about to explode or something but it turned out to be the phone activated the quick camera shortcut on the fingerprint lock screen and started capturing 4k video which for sure heated the processor up and other compnents as well. that was really annoying.
I tried this Gravity app but still I got unwanted phone wakes, I also looked into Rooting and disabling it, but still that's not what I want. I would like to use the home button normally but deactivate it only when in my pocket with the Proximity sensor.
Ther doesn't appear to be any options for the AOD that shows when the cover is closed, is that correct? Am I stuck with the default setting?
What is the disk in the lower left corner of the cover for?
It appears that it isn't meant to behave like the AOD on the phone itself because always goes off after a few seconds, am I correct about that?
the lock screen is totally different, and the only way to change it is to find a theme that supports it. THat little disc is the NFC chip that tells your phone to display the lock screen for the s cover when it is closed.
Every time I close my LED flip cover and then reopen it, secure folders show up and ask me to entry the pin automatically.
If I just lock the screen without closing the cover, it won't happen.
I use the S7 Edge stock Oreo clock app alarm to get me up etc. When the alarm sounds. If the phone moves even slightly or I attempt to open the flip cover, the sensor turns off / snoozes the alarm. This is extremely annoying as I then have to open the flip cover, unlock the screen, try to expand the notification and hit dismiss! I want the alarm to sound until I swipe the red dot on the screen to dismiss the alarm or select snooze should I wish!
Please can anyone advise how I stop this overly sensitive and highly irritating feature! I don't want any sounds on my phone stopped/muted/snoozed by opening the Samsung flip case, rolling the phone over, placing my hand over the screen. What is so hard about pressing a button or swiping the screen!
Thanks.

tl;dr:
How do I disable touch input on the cover screen while a call is incoming, so I don't accidentally reject calls ?
Full:
I just recently got a Flip 3. I have a dealbreaker "feature". You can answer and reject calls from the cover screen by swiping.
When outside I keep the phone in my pocket, in folded position. When a call comes in and I try to pull the phone out I *always* accidentally reject the call.
I know I can completely disable the cover screen, but that is not what I want. I want to use the cover screen to see notifications an time.
How do I disable touch input on the cover screen while a call is incoming ?
Alternatively; how do I disable touch input on the cover screen while in my pocket ?
The main screen (and any other smartphone in the world) has a proximity sensor, so the screen is off, even when a call incoming, if the phone is in the pocket. Not so the cover screen.
When the cover screen is disabled I can still answer calls by opening the phone and reject by pressing the power button. I *really* don't need touch on the cover screen.
You do not have any option to do that. only with a custom-made cover screen to do that.
Could you nod me in the right direction for coding custom cover screens please ?
@Juuushiro is telling you to physically cover the touch screen with some kind of jerry-rigged case hahaha not software.
There's two cover launcher apps for our flip 3
One is CoverScreen OS
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ini-phone-includes-native-lockscreen.4382335/ (Paid app)
and the other is SamSprung TooUI
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/samsprung-tooui-cover-screen-home-free-zf3.4328953/ (Free)
but I'm not quite sure if they can do what you require or not.
@cproo12 I got this last week and lovin it, you can slide a cover over the screen.

Unfortunately, there is no built-in option to disable touch input on the cover screen of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 while a call is incoming. However, there is a workaround that may help.
You can try using a third-party app to disable touch input on the cover screen. One such app is "Touch Lock - Touch Blocker for Video, Kids and Kiosk", which is available for free on the Google Play Store. This app allows you to temporarily disable touch input on your device.
To use the app, you can follow these steps:
Install the "Touch Lock" app from the Google Play Store.
Open the app and grant it the necessary permissions.
When a call comes in and the cover screen lights up, swipe down from the top of the screen to access the notification panel.
Tap the "Touch Lock" notification to enable touch lock.
The app will now prevent touch input on the cover screen, so you can safely take the phone out of your pocket without accidentally rejecting the call.
Keep in mind that using a third-party app to disable touch input may impact the overall functionality and user experience of your device.
