You can run the following commands in tasker to disable and enable the module, respectively.

echo disabled > /proc/ponury/status

echo enable > /proc/ponury/status

There is a state event for the proximity sensor you could use to trigger it. I don't have any freezing issues, so I haven't tried it and don't know how the battery would be affected. I'd assume poorly, but try it and let us know!

You CAN monitor the proximity sensor with the screen off. Go to tasker preferences and under the "monitor" tab, there is an option under screen off monitoring for the proximity sensor.

I don't really use it much anymore. I'm glad that the dev keeps it updated with all the kernels. I don't see how one could have the time.

I run Franco and it never works right. Most times it doesn't at all. I figure it's another app breaking it.

F all you haters talking smack. I make $15 an hour at work and I don't work nearly as hard as he does on this $5 application. Just imagine all of the hours.. sheesh. I have coded for over a decade. If you don't like his app, make your own.... oh, you don't know how? Imagine that.

Thanks Mr developer. :)

What a pile of crap - I tested the app for a WEEK before I bought the paid version.

That is doing your homework - giving yourself enough time to get to know the app & any issues that may crop up.

Such disrespect, you're not flaming me, I haven't spent hours of my time building this app - the Dev has. Only then he has to read rants in capital letters dissing the app & himself.

Wrong AGAIN !

I use Ribbon in Whitehawkx - set to the narrowest margin so as not to affect the keys nearest to it & guess what ? No problems at all !

Hey guys I was just wondering if the app now works with the 'power button to end calls' setting.

I haven't used TC in a few months cuz it wasn't working with that setting but wanted to try it out again if its been fixed to work with that on.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] yoft1:
The module unloads itself during calls so I'm 90% sure it will work. I don't use that setting myself but since it turns itself off for calls, I can't see it conflicting with that setting

Bponury I just have one thing to say.

THANKS for the time, effort & dedication to develop this app.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] AdamUpNorth:
Bponury,

Trying to troubleshoot an OS suicide I had yesterday that I'm totally stumped on. For some unknown reason my phone hung at the Nexus "X" after a reboot.

Clearing cache/Dalvik in CWM didn't help.

Was using Faux's kernel so I reset to stock kernel but that didn't help. All that did was let me get to the "Updating Software" window that you normally get after you clear your dalvik/cache. But it hung there. I had to do a factory reset in CWM to fix.

Aside from that custom kernel, the OS is stock 4.22. Running stock frequencies and stock voltages (I don't like to mess with that).

I've been using TouchControl with Faux for ages without issues.

The only reason I'm posting this here is that just before I did the reboot I was using tasker to try to toggle TouchControl on/off using the proximity sensor. Is there any chance that rapidly toggling TouchControl on/off would corrupt something on the phone? I know you've mentioned that TouchControl is a hack...any chance the hack could corrupt?

Thanks.

Is it possible to add "Disable Power button when locked" option?

don't

do

want to use Power button when screen is unlocked - to lock it or to go to power menu.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bponury:
I don't see any way this could happen because of TC.

It might be possible with the new version I'm working on. With current version it won't work, sorry.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] xanthrax:

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bponury:
Hard reset using power button is hardware/driver so it won't affect it.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] pkelly517:
Good to know. Reading again, it may have come across as being a **** about the screen freezing.

That wasn't my intention.

By the way, I've seen the screen freeze once in ~6 months. I can live with that.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] NYZack:
One question I've had is how Touch Control battery usage shows up in Better Battery Stats. That might be one way of settling the issue of how much juice this mod actually uses.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] talexxx:
You can install Battery Monitor Widget and see the battery drain there in the mAh column. Check the mAh consumption with TouchControl ON and OFF.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] bponury:
Ok guys I've been investigating the screen freeze issue and I know what's causing it - hardware/driver problem. It's out of my jurisdiction I'm afraid. However! I've written a brutal and ugly hack to make it go away. So here is a free version 1.7 it's a bit different than the others.

What to expect:

in case of screen freeze power toggle (just press power twice) it will reset touchscreen

it might not work with 100% accuracy but it should not be much worse then before

battery drain might be a bit smaller

Please anyone who experiences a hell lot of freezes test this and report whether it changed for good/bad. This is experimental so please use at your own risk.

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] navjot94:
Any chance that the app can be updated to support the new Paranoid Android kernel? Or does the kernel dev have to do something to add support?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] Stryder5:
What kernel are they using now? Is it stock?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] navjot94:
I believe it's a modified version of franco's kernel specifically for PA made by franco himself.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] pkelly517:
Actually, I think it's a modified version of stock. Franco is offering up some experience, but his kernels are only for nexus devices. PA runs on quite a few more devices than that.

yes, it's PA stock kernel and Franco gives some helps with it. And his kernel still independent. as he said on his thread. ;)

I stayed on stock rom (I don't feel a desire yet to change) and the app guided me to install the correct kernel immediately.

Sorry, but where?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] jarjar124:
will it work on kernel X

It is made to work on stock kernel. It might work on kernels which are close to stock. I will however try to find a way to make it as compatible as possible. I'm going to assume that you can safely try this mod on your kernel (but don't enable set-on-boot) worst case scenario is a reboot.

does this consume battery

Short answer - No.

Long answer - this might bring some insignificant battery drain but this should not exceed 1-2% a day. This is because the device will have to process the touch after you touch it

why do I have to pay

Why did you pay for your phone? You did save a few bucks on the phone which was cheap. Now is your chance to make those savings worthy

if I bought it for galaxy nexus why do I have to pay again

Even though it doesn't look like it it's not so easy to make it work on new device. As you can see it's not only device specific but also kernel specific. A lot of hackery and tricks had to be done to make it work without a glitch.

if I want to marry you where can I find you?
