Prox Pro

Your phone must have a proximity sensor for this to work! ALL PROXIMITY SENSORS ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL!!! Users with a dual purpose ambient light sensor for proximity usage may have unintended bugs! Please read the entire description as it contains important information!

Prox is a gesture based service that allows you to control certain aspects of your phone without even touching it. You can launch applications, expand and contract your status bar, and even silence your phone. All of this is done by simply waving your hand close to the phone. Imagine the possibilities and the look of amazement on friends faces when you turn your screen off without ever touching a button or the screen :)

Prox also allows you to have several load outs. You can switch your load outs and do completely different actions.

Prox uses the proximity sensor and accelerometer on your phone to do certain actions. Current actions include:

  • Expand and contract status bar
  • Emulate home button
  • Turn off screen
  • Toggle ringer mode
  • Show some text (Toast)
  • Launch an application
  • Play a tone

Plus more actions to come!

Prox doesn't do anything during a phone call so you don't have to worry about face gesturing. Your proximity sensor will behave normally during a call.

In order to enable turning off the screen, Prox needs administrative permission. You can still use Prox without this feature if it makes you uncomfortable to grant these permissions. To enable, go to settings and click enable admin. NOTE: IN ORDER TO UNINSTALL, ADMIN PERMISSION MUST BE DISABLED BEFORE DOING SO, OR PROX WILL NOT UNINSTALL!!!

PLEASE EXCLUDE FROM TASK KILLERS OR PROX WILL FREAK OUT!!

Note: If you are running any custom ROM, this may not work correctly. Please verify that your proximity sensor is functional before downloading this...

PERMISSIONS EXPLANATION

  • Five stars for awesome use of technology, innovation, and implementation. I would love to see cursor control as an option in the future. Wonderful work dev! I also think it should be said that ADW Launcher EX's auto sensor will interfere with this. Mytouch4g iced glacier 1.1.6
  • Really cool application, with even more potential. I was perfectly happy with the free version, but 99¢ to support the dev is absolutely worth it. Thanks!
  • I previously stated this app did not work for my phone (wrong) It really does work!!! Just to the right (slightly) move it to the right or to the left
  • Awesome app I fell in love with it :-D....jzt wish there was a gester where I can just swing my hand from left to right on my screen n change screens
  • Ingenious For update: Allow changing delay for timer loadout Add loadout that works via swipe direction without accelerometer or timing if possible
  • Only problem I have is gs3 when I turn screen on first time it shuts back off. When I turn screen on again it comes on just fine. Thanks.
  • Such a great app! $1.50 is a steal! Only downside is a persistent notification icon. Other than that it's phenomenal!
  • Godly app. Works very well after adjusting the sensitivity. Most impressive and ingenious app since Tasker.
  • Would like start at boot, hide not. icon, screen off, and custom timer values. 5★ regardless
  • works well, sgs2. very ingenious, not much apps in the market that can make someone go WOWW
