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
Tips on using Light sensor for tablets/phones
Value when sensor covered
Tip: if you choose light Sensor and if you vales range from 0 to >50, keep this at around 15 (Use the charts to see what values sensors give out)
Value when sensor un-covered
Tip: if you choose light Sensor and if you vales range from 0 to >50, keep this at around 16​

Great app works good. Although one slight problem..
My phone seems to have random reboots and the power button seems to malfunction while the service is activated.
This typically happens when the phone is in my pocket
Additionally.. I don't quite understand how to make the 'swype screen to turn' function NOT make my screen flicker...as this usually takes 2-3 tries before I get it correct.
Thank you again!

Not sure what is causing reboots, however try to swipe slowly over the sensor and let me know if that works...
p.s: which phone and os version are you on?

I tested it today and infact- the app is causing the reboots but like an idiot I don't have a logcat so ill get back to you
Swyping slowly does make it turn on properly
Although, why can i swype fast to shut it off?
I'm running CM9 4.0.4 at 213 dpi on the ATT note
Thanks so much for replying!!

Version v3.3 is out with lot of fixes and features:
☀ Fixed the InCallOnly mode, sensor is active only during the senor, thereby saving power.
☀ Added new battery saving feature: "De-Activate sensors after timeout". You can set a value in minutes and sensors will be de-activated after timeout and re-activated only when screen turns on.
☀ Upgraded the Ignore list UI and included even the system apps.

Thanks for the app. When the proximity sensor turns off the screen the screen pops back on at my pattern lock screen than stays of after about 10 seconds. Does this happen to others? I am on flapps UCLF6 ROM.

---

That's a known problem with few ics roms lock screen...
Try using miLocker or holo lock screen or try a different rom.

I just bought the pro version. 3.3 I am running FJ Mod build 4 ROM
I have the standard Samsung black flip cover.
I have the lock screen turned off.
It seems that the logic is not correct.
I am set to the flip mode.
When I close the cover nothing happens if the screen is on. If the screen is off then the screen turns on. This is not correct.
If the screen is off, then if I open the cover it turns on - this is correct.
The interesting part is that is I use my fingers to trigger the sensor, your app works fine.
Its only the cover closing when the screen is on that does not work - I have the vibrate on so I can tell when the app activates.
Please advise or fix or I can run a log if that is needed.

That's a common problem with some flip covers, can you try pasting a white piece of paper on the cover where the sensor is located, that will help the detection

Sure, will give that a shot - but what is weird to me is if the unit is off and I close the cover you detect that just fine. Just when the unit is on are you missing it. Can you give me a short explanation of why that is. If its something like light reflection, it would seem backwards to use white instead of black. Just wondering.
And yes the white paper works great - just looks a bit hokey.

v4.0:
New feature to save battery: sensors can be de-activated if power button is pressed or phone is idle (i.e, if app doesn't turn off the screen)
Fixed autostart after reboot
Fixed widget bug
Fixed Disable vibrate on ignored apps
Fixed override screenOn in non-flip cover modes
