HI, I just installed this app :) It is something I've been looking for for weeks! It works great!

I have one suggestion . Could front facing camera be used as a sensor? In this way phones without light sensor could somehow determine what is goingn on in front of them... I don't expect a complicated algorith that would calculate the light intensity based on the pic from camera. It would be enough if there would be an option to turn off the screen if the view from camera is whole black. This would guarantee that many covers (like mine :P) would turn off the screen when closed.

Anyway, this app is really pracitcal :) I just wanted to say what my thoughts about it are.
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Thanks mate for testing the app out.

I actually liked your idea, I will try to implement it in upcoming update if possible for me.

Your name will be surely added if I implement that feature.

Thanks again

Does the "install/uninstall" replace/restore some component of the framework?

If so, need to repeat "install" for each new ROM flash.

Same one as Xposed?

If so, maybe an Xposed module might be an alternative?
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Well, I didn't get what are you taking about.

If your talking about un install button then it removes app directly by clearing all the data & removing device administrator too.

Thanks mate & it is great that it works perfectly for you.

I didn't get the while thing what you said. But, I think your talking about, when you close the cover it takes some time to lock.

If, I am wrong then please tell then maybe I would help you solve your problem.

I think you haven't read the tutorial properly.

Let me tell you that when using Fusion of Shake Proximity from Pocket Mode.

Keep the phone in pocket then when you move the phone locks & when you remove it & shake a bit it automatically unlocks the phone.

Hope, you got what you wanted else I will explain in more detail

no problem :)

im using pocket mode,sensor function lock/unlock screen....split 2nd sensor lock/unlock,sensor sensitivity normal. nothing more/all settings are default :)
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Okay, now I am getting something

Which pocket mode are you using?

Split 2nd Sensor Function should be used when Pocket Mode is set to Split

Sent from my GS3
[Android Apps and Games] amos720:
split: proximity & shake
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Well, the problem is that you have set both the functions to lock & unlock.

Which causes shake to lock / unlock & Proximity to lock /unlock too.

Hence, when you lock using Proximity then you try to keep the phone below or do something with it shake unlocks it.

I suggest using Shake for lock or unlock not both & Proximity for lock or unlock but not both.

You can also try Fuse : Shake & Proximity of Pocket Mode if you.

If you have any more questions then just let me know

Appreciate your work on this app. It was indeed a brilliant idea. However, it worked absolutely horribly for me. On top of that, battery goes south...FAST.
[Android Apps and Games] NightM@re:
2nd time using this app , it locks screen just fine but doesn't wake the phone again if i choosed fuse shake + proximity or shake only

i have to use proximity only .

is there any work around for that ?

maybe i'm doing something wrong , like after going to pocket mode and choosing fuse , what should i choose for 1st sensor and 2nd sensor ?

i thought it was supposed to be fuse :\ , i'm very confused to be honest .
[Android Apps and Games] simbill:
had to download from playstore link... your screenshot image links are invalid & the .apk in the OP is old? toast notification said "this app is expired!"

tested pocket mode, screen on/off, using shake and proximity fuse.

works well so far in my 5 minute test... will report back in a few days time

excellent concept, would love to see further development

I've tried your app but it cannot override secure lock on my device, which was the reason for trying it. It may be because other device manager also requires secure lock screen(exchange mail account). Maybe you should notice it on the app comments in Play store.

... or it may be caused bay any other reason I didn't find...

Also I noticed that when it wakes up (to unlock pin screen), It goes off again in 2-3 seconds.

I was using just proximity mode (cover)

[Android Apps and Games] lukesky:
hi akshay

First of all, great job in the app considering u're still a young dude. Just to let u know, I've been doing some testing and the app actually keeps the CPU from deep sleep longer than usual. In a short 12 min test, with Cover Algorithm on, my phone sleeps only 8% of the time. Turning it off and testing it again, the phone sleeps 64% of the time. I used CPU Spy to get the CPU stats. My phone is a Note 2, rooted with custom Samsung rom.

So besides the current drain from the sensors (which I guess should be negligible), there is the (I'm guessing?) bigger batt drain of not letting the CPU sleep properly.

Here are my settings :

1) Flip Cover Mode - Fuse : Proximity + Light

2) Pocket Mode - No, goes to flip cover

3) Set Sensor Function - Lock / Unlock Screen

4) Split 2nd Sensor Function - None

5) Sensor Sensitivity - Low

Now I'm not sure if it's technically possible to do an unlock via the sensors without keeping the CPU awake.. if that's the case then you might need to allow users to choose a shorter Auto Shut Down period which is shorter than the current 2 hrs, so that users who are concerned with their CPUs not deep-sleeping can choose a shorter shut down period.. maybe something like 5 mins, 10 mins, half hr, 1 hr and so on?

There is a similar app called Auto Screen On and there are 2 Wakelock settings in that app where 1 is the standard Wakelock which will use more power and there is a Wakelock(part time) which uses less power which could be something you could implement too.

Check your Unlock Screen timeout settings.. I think by default it's set to 2 secs.. I think it's too short so I changed it to 5 secs.
[Android Apps and Games] iog11:
Thanks, I didn't understood that particular setting. Now I have time enough to type my pin.

Actually, there was custom button in auto Shut down but it had bug so I removed it for now.

About Battery : I am quite sure that my app doesn't it much battery. But, I never checked about CPU sleeping. I will play a little with CPU sleeping & make some improvements in future.

I am curious about the Auto Unlock feature. I use a flip cover, and when I open it, it does unlock, but the app comes to foreground as well. If I select Show Home Screen, nothing changes. Is it possible to auto unlock, but to also stay in whichever app was active before locking?
[Android Apps and Games] Redroo:
had the same problem - fixed by rebooting. Still comes up occasionally, but only rarely.
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
You both guys are some way right.

To unlock the Lockscreen automatically I need to start my app & then kill my app.

But, sometimes user get to notice about it.

About Show Home Screen : It is used to open launcher main page for example if your some other app you locked the screen & when you unlock using my app then you see that your out of that app.

Would be great if it would work on the Iconia a701.

Unfortunately, the app doesn't appear to detect the light sensor. Calibration says "0" for light sensor.

Any thoughts? Anything I can send to help troubleshoot?
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Hmm, Did you try clicking Light Sensor in Settings->Sensor Data->Light Sensor

Try it if you haven't if it gives error it means that your device doesn't have Light Sensor or maybe error reading it.

Reply, me so that I would instantly check it out.
[Android Apps and Games] Moscow Desire:
Well, clicking the sensor data gives information about the light sensor, so no issues there.

Name= Ambient Light Sensor

Vendor= AL3000A

Version= 1

Type= 5

Resolution= 1.0

Power Consumed= 0.5mA

Max Range= 1000000.0

Min Delay= 0ms

Set for Flip Cover, with Light Tablet Cover (calibrate)

The rest of the settings are default.

When selecting Advanced Settings, Calibrate Sensors, The light sensor still shows nothing for "Current Value". I can adjust them for lock and unlock, but still has no effect.
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
Well, It should work fine.

Did you try dragging the seekbar of light sensors ??

I will again take a look at the code though :cyclops:

Thanks for trying out my app & Hope, you try Unlock version.

Please,consider making an review of app for continued development
[Android Apps and Games] Moscow Desire:
The "Slider Bars" work fine. But regardless where I set them, it still shows nothing for current value.

One note though, if I set the option to magnet type (which calibrates, but doesn't seem to work), the Light sensor will show current value at 0.0 lux.

When setting the sensor back to Light Sensor, the calibration setting just says nothing.

Strange,

Well, if you need me to try something, post it here, or send me a PM.

Cheers Mate!
[Android Apps and Games] Akshay (Aky):
First of all

You, don't need to select sensor mode for calibration.

You can directly calibrate any sensor even if not selected.

When, needed you can directly use it.

About my screen waking up by itself every 60s :

Hi Aky,

An update to my "every minute screen on" problem.

When I use the flipcover, no more screen wake triggering (according to wakelock detector, as when the flipcover is put, I can no more see the screen...)

So problem seems to occur only when phone put the screen off by itself, without the cover in place...

So :

- screen of with flipcover ==> no wake up

- screen of without flipcover (trigger by timer) ==> no wake up

UPDATE

- screen of without flipcover (trigger by a hand over the proximity and release) ==> every 60 second screen on and wakelock

I expect this will give you ideas

Hi!

I just started testing your app after using for a long time another one.

Yours wake my screen faster and use slighty less ram!

However, I was asking myself: are you planning to introduce an option to make the sensor lock/unlock the screen only while on the lockscreen? The app I was using had it, and I find it useful if you like to use both lock/unlock function but don't don't want your screen to accidentaly lock while using the phone.

no I mean only on the lockscreen: sensors locking/unlocking ONLY WHILE ON LOCKSCREEN.

Example: I take the phone out of my pocket to check the hour WITHOUT UNLOCKING IT, so it wakes, then I put it back in my pocket and the screen goes off.

Instead, if I'm using it UNLOCKED, with any other app, and accidentally I cover the proximity sensor, it doesn't lock.

Sorry for my bad english, I know I'm not the best explaining that XD
