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
