[SHARE][APP]Proximity Screen Off

Hai guys nothing new here,i thought of sharing an app i found in the play store.. my mini's power button is almost dead, and i couldn't either turn on or turn off the screen using the power key. Then i found this incredible app called "Proximity Screen Off"
What it does?
-> It turn on/off screen with gestures :good:
How it works?
-> it make use of the proximity sensor. There are lot of gestures to select from,swipe once,swipe and hold and so on.
Both Lite and Pro versions are available in the market,give it a try :good:
Note:It drains battery very quickly but with right settings it doesn't drain you battery
Link to the lite version:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.itsme4ucz.screenoff

its better if u use an app like power toggle or screen-off..they use accessibility permissions and 100% better than sensor based apps since they dont drain battery by taking any sort of wakelock..
just saying

But is it possible to wake up the screen by using power toggle/screen off? My mini is 2 and half years old,and almost all the buttons are dead by now.so i cant wake up the device by pressing the home key. Thats one of the reason i am using this app. Can you suggest me any other app which can wake up the device without using any buttons?

Newb questions

Hello I just got the Nexus 6 tonight, rooted and installed TWRP now. Gonna install my first ROM now, just a stock tweaked ROM to start off with Franco kernel. Couple questions please;
- How do I enable Double Tap 2 Wake on the phone with the new ROM and Kernel ? For Franco does he have an app I need to download from the Play Store to active the D2TW ?
- And how do I enable the Notification LED ?

Most roms have double tap to wake enabled by default. For Franco, if you buy the paid app then there's a option to disable or enable double tap.
The paid app is called Franco kernel updater. The free version is for updating only.

I'm new to the n6. Do we have low-power digitiser mode for double tap 2 wake?

I honestly have no idea, but having double tap to wake enabled doesn't cause any significant battery drain or at all.
Seeing that Google had the code already in the device but was disabled, I would have to say that it does? But I can't confirm. It would only make sense that the phone has the low power digitizer if Google was deciding to add double tap to wake but decided to have it disabled.

The code may just be there though. The code for ambient display is on the nexus 5 (hidden) but its an LCD. I wonder if this code is on the N5 too as that definitely doesn't have a low power digitiser mode.
Hmmm...

Could i make double TAP and led notifications without apps? I prefer to modify settings/files manually if possible.

There is a double tap mod. Led notifications, maybe ROM or kernel

High Brightness Mode switcher[ROOT]

Hi,
I have created a small Tasker application for switch on/off High Brightness Mode for Nexus 6.
You can install it as standalone application without Tasker. But it needs Root privileges.
It should work with all kernels as this feature is comes with STOCK kernel.
Thanks,

sweet! Thanks for this, ive always wanted to use tasker to program one of my volume buttons(double press) to enable max brightness before I turn the screen on. I always get aggravated when I go outside and have to find the brightness slider with lowbrightness. I only use about 20% brightness inside. Never did accomplish this, I believe it will be much easier now with your program! Thanks!:good:

Working on last chroma!

Genius thank you!

Dude, this app rocks, thanks! I set it as one of my lockscreen shortcuts, perfect when opening the phone outdoors.

can you please add a widget?

Awesome app

what's this high brightness mode?

Turns HBM on, but doesn't turn it back off when tap it again. Nexus 6 Pure Nexus current and Moto G Second Gen (stock Debloated) both exhibit this behaviour.
When screen turns off and back on, HBM is off again so I still find value in this app the way it is, thanks.

Very nice. Works great.

It looks like you don't have permissions on hbm sysfs interface.
Can you please share output of
ls -l /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fb0/hbm

I am using "chmod" command to gain write access to the hbm file. So can you please install busybox then try again?
Thanks.

Did you try Quick Click application from play store? I didn't tried but looks useful for you case.

I love this app, use it as a shortcut on my lockscreen for outdoors reading. Could you make another that lowers the brightness, for night time? I know I could just use the slider but I would rather have a matching shortcut on my lockscreen. Thanks!

This works great! I set a shortcut on the lockscreen and also set a double tap gesture on Nova Launcher to turn it on or off.

Thank you Sir for sharing this lovely app.

Excellent and very useful app.
Worked fine with MM even on Nexus 6P.
With Nougat you can activate fine but needs to switch off screen to deactivate and even then, notification stays on, on status bar.
Any upgrades please?
thank you

With an app called Kernel Adiutor. On my rooted Nexus 6,

It worked first (and every) time for me, no tweaking required. Presumably all your other root apps are working ok?

may I ask how you enable double tap to wake on Nexus 6 on Nougat? thanks

No special action apart from pressing the "activate" button... It just works, normally 95% of the time, since I occasionally have to double-tap a couple of times.

got my Nexus 6 double tap to wake working with Kernel Adiutor (ROOT), is it a heavy app just for the double tap to wake?
any recommended app just for double tap to wake? that and notification led which I use lightflow (any better app for the job?)
they are the main reason I root my Nexus 6,

If you're rooted you shouldn't need Kernel Adiutor for Double Tap - mine works fine and I have no such kernel control apps. As I said, it's not 100%, and I read a long time ago that this is the reason that Google put the ability in the ROM but didn't activate it - they didn't want to frustrate users with what looked like a buggy app. Still, Sean's app works well enough for me, and it means that I'm relieving stress on the power button - Double Tap to wake, and Nova's swipe gesture to sleep, so I rarely need to touch the power button at all. Given the number of people complaining that their power button has stopped working, I reckon the less I use it the longer my N6 will last (touch wood... )

I use elemental kernel and it has an option for double tap to wake on install.

thanks for all comments.
looks like kernel adiutor consume much battery too,
any recommend alternative app for the job? hope there is an app for both double tap to wake and notification led (is lightflow the only choice? looks heavy too on batt)
tia
btw I use chainfire way to root, and has no plan to install custom recovery and custom kernel, prefer all stock, thanks

I bought Light Flow a year or so ago and it seemed to be a battery hog, so I uninstalled it. But given that I'd paid for it, just out of curiosity I tried it again a few months ago and it consumes very little. I put it down to advances in the programming, and I'm still using it happily today. As far as I know Light Flow on a rooted device is the only way to get the LED to activate as a notification.

thanks, does the led also handle sms, misscall, gmail, etc? does it also has double tap to wake too?
may I know how you install the elementalx kernel? am I right I can simply use the EX Kernal Manager from playstore to install it?
sorry, noobie on these, thanks in advance

You can use pixel launcher mod from xda but you need to be rooted to double tap to sleep

If you have the Always On Screen option turned on, you can double tap the screen at any time to wake it up. No app needed.

exactly, no use of this post... You don't need an app, only takes up storage
