On my realme x2pro the proximity sensor does not work well, the screen is periodically off and on during the conversation. Are there custom firmwares with the ability to completely disable the proximity sensor? In cdroid, it is possible to disable sensors selectively for any application, but this does not apply to the proximity sensor (. Also, in any android11 firmware, you can display the disable button for all sensors in the shutter: for developers -> items in quick settings -> disable sensors, and this will really turn off the proximity sensor, and others, but then the camera stops working (

How to disable the proximity sensor? Sensor does not work after the break. Can not be replaced. Now I can not make and receive calls. Help please. (Nexus One - Cyanogen Mod 7.0.0-RC1 (or RC2))

...in /system/lib/hw/sensors.mahimahi.so defines the device name of the proximity sensor, normally /dev/cm3602.
Hexedit the file to change the name of the device to something that doesn't exist, and you will no longer use the proximity sensor.
Hey SXL-Users,
for all they have a black screen during calls, because the proximity sensor seems to be covered. (e.g. roms based on cyanogenmod)
I solved this by the app "Proximity Sensor Finder" (you find it in app store) in which I set the "proximitiy value when covered" at 0.0
Now I can display switch on/off with the power button ! Finaly! I can end a call by myself!
I hope it helps someone else
... In addition, no, the hardware is not broken! The light sensor and proximity sensor are reversed through the custom ROM.
FORGET THE FIRST POST!!!
The solution was this app !! A description can be found in YouTube at:
"Disable proximity sensor on android" by tech 4tress
I can't post a link. Maybe an other one can link the Video.
Is there any good solution to disable that annoying ambient light sensor?
Turning off Adaptive and Bravia Engine does nothing, that sensor still switches my screen backlight on a whim.
I don't use Xposed and also do not want to. Best would be a solution such that I can use the brightness slider in the noticiation bar to control the display brightness. Other apps with widgets and what not are unhandy. :/
Dude you should try this
Hi, I'm looking for a Rom that has an option to disable proximity sensor when using fingerprint sensor of double tap to wake. The only ROMs that I tested that have this option are lineageos and Omni, however Los doesn't have OMS and omni has alert slider broken so I'm temporally looking for alternatives
This is a tasker/macrodroid macro that I created that toggles proximity sensor on/off systemwide.
I have designed this because ultrasound proximity sensor on my Poco F3 is really annoying sometimes
You must be rooted to use it - it uses a shell command to edit a system file that determines if proximity sensor is on or off.
Installation:
Extract zip file
Open the respective macro with tasker or macrodroid
Create a homescreen shortcut or QS tile to toggle the macro / task
This was tested on Xiaomi Poco F3 - Android 13 - CrDroid v9.5
But it should work on most phones
