is there an app to wake screen using the track pad?
I would love to see this as well.

If we could get the end call button to turn off the Imagio screen just like this Touch 2 in the video it would be great. This would just makes it so much quicker.

If you hold in for three seconds screen will shut off even without hitting, "turn screen off." Also I can't use verizon tv so I mapped that media button to slide 2 shutdown, where you can turn the screen off, turn device off, or soft reset because its a real ***** getting that back cover off all the time.
FYI, G-trigger is very nice for screen off, not so much on because it will be going crazy on off in your pocket, but I have it installed to rotate my screen no matter what program I'm in, and I flick forward to bring up dialpad and back to close any open app and up to turn screen off. Check it out make phone very nifty.

I keep my Nexus4 in my jean pocket with the screen facing inward and I am having the incoming call screen problem causing some un-intended actions.
While the mobile is in pocket and a call comes, I sometimes skip it by using the volume rocker to silence it and leave it in pocket. But when I take it out after sometime, I would be seeing all sorts of key events registered on the screen (due to screen on and in contact with my pocket) causing random opening of apps and quick settings.
Ideal solution would be to keep the screen off when incoming call comes while the phone is still in pocket and turn the screen on only when the phone is pulled from the pocket (Using Proximity sensor). I searched and could not find any app which would do this for me. Any other suggestions to prevent the random touches from happening?

I would try possibly SmartCover or Proximity Screen On.
You could just hit the power button after you hit the volume rocker.

I would want the screen to be on/off based on proximity only during incoming call. Other times I prefer turning it on/off with power button

Hmmm.. that's one more step to do additionally but I guess that's the easiest way as of now.. thanks

As rysup mentioned, now instead of silencing with volume keys, I use the power key to turn off and silence while in pocket. That way the screen is turned off and no accidental touch/swipes. I take it out of the pocket and use the power key to turn on the screen again. Not the best way but it works for now.
PS: You should have power key to reject calls in accessibility settings disabled. Otherwise pressing power key will reject the call instead of silencing.
Whenever I'm talking on the phone and holding the phone with my shoulder and face, no hands, my cheek presses buttons on the dialer, opens apps, changes my calendar, date and time, all kind of annoying things. My only work around is to hit the power button the turn the screen off, which is very inefficient. Is there any other way around this, some setting or something? I've never had this problem on any other phone. Thank for the help.

Proximity sensor issue? Or that it isn't covered enough when it rests between your shoulder and face. Is it the same when you hold the phone normally when on a call?

Check to see if your screen protector is partially covering your proximity sensor.. or your case or something else..
I have used quite a lot of time pondering over how to wake up the phone using a timer instead of a real event like pressing the lock button or taking the phone out of your pocket using proximity sensor. I tried to use two apps, Automate and Tasker, to achieve this functionality, but for some reason neither of them managed to successfully wake the phone up although the event that was supposed to wake it up did trigger. Then I thought about how there are loads of apps that let you wake the phone by tapping the screen or shaking it, and came up with an idea to feed a signal with a timer that equals tapping the screen and use that to fool the app into waking the phone up.
Is this a possibility, or is there another, reliable way to wake the screen up using a timer?
Tap to wake won't work on the S4 since the screen is completely turned off, therefore it won't react to any touch events when the screen is off, like the new generation phones do.
Shake to wake may work.
I found out the other day that this phone has lift to wake. My question is: How does it work exactly? Assuming no lockscreen security, does it work like the iPhone and OnePlus 5? i.e. Does it automatically turn on when you lift it toward you so you can interact with the screen, or does it just flash notifications? Can you just lift it up, then swipe to unlock? I'm asking because the phone has no double-tap-to-wake, which is a must-have feature for me, but this is a good compromise.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: To clarify, I'm asking if I can lift the phone and start using it WITHOUT hitting the power button.
Just like you described, lift to wake and notification wake, then you can intertact with it.
Lift it up and it wakes.
It does a black and white version of your lockscreen.
If you tap it hard enough, you can wake it btw without lifting it up.
I believe it uses either the gyroscope or acceleration sensor, or both. If you twist your phone or move it quickly, the dim display will turn on. Just like others have pointed out.
Also you can have it set up to be unlocked and ready when lifting up by setting up smart Lock. If your home your device can stay unlocked and when you lift it up it will be ready to go.
Do we know if we can enable a tap to wake or wave to wake?
Is this something we would need root for?
this function not smooth as iPhone.
