Hello, for the people enjoying ambient mode but scared of having it enabled while inside the pocket, installing touch lock free from the play store would be a perfect solution for that problem . Touch lock disables touch sensitivity when it's enabled making ambient display secure when it's inside your pocket .. (No more accidental downloads or calls on your Nexus 6 )

I got the ambient display on my S5 (G900F) form CM 12.1. Thanks to the gestures control, when I wave my hand it will display time, and the screen will light up. It's really cool, but it's easy to unlock the phone by mistake when the phone is in my pocket, because the proximity sensor detected a "hand wave". Once the ambient display is on, the phone just needs one swipe to unlock the phone.
I think the screen should keep locked even I tap the screen when it is on ambient display mode. Is there any way to achieve this function?
Sorry for my poor English
One of the big issues I have found, mainly with CM based ROMS, is that the option to prevent accidental unlocking seems to be missing/unavailable.
I've been testing various apps and utilities that monitor the proximity sensor, but there is one big issue - they monitor for screen on, but it seems in CM12.1 that the monitoring app doesn't work or get a screen on signal when you're using a lockscreen.
So the solution is not to check for screen on, but check for screen unlock.
I have a TASKER profile set up as follows:
If screen unlocked and proximity sensor on, then turn the screen off.
Works really simply. cover the proximity sensor with a bit of cloth or something and test it - if you double-tap the screen on, or it wakes due to a notification, the screen still goes on. But any subsequent action, eg slide to unlock or click on a notification, triggers the screen unlock flag, and this then checks to see if the proximity sensor is covered, and if it does, it turns the screen off again.
I CAN POST SCREENSHOTS IF ANYONE WANTS FURTHER INFO - BUT I'D SUGGEST GIVING TASKER A GO AND A PLAY ANYWAY, IT'S A BRILLIANT APP.
I tried some custom rom like RR,Crdroid,AiCP,slim,lineage and get that issue.When i turn of pickup getsure and turn on wave-getsure,waving my hand over screen,the ambient display not work but three sensors still red.Anyone got that issue like me and who know how to fix it.In stock rom,it's working very fast with moto display:crying:
Hello. Can any one tell me if it is possible to disable touch when an ambient display pulses? I'm on the latest official LineageOS right now and the touch is enabled when it pulses new notifications. This is a problem because when the phone is in my pocket, it pocket dials. So, is it possible to disable touch on ambient display?
Thanks.
Hi,
since 2 months ago, i meet an issue which is kind of boring.
I have the ambiant display with the tap to wake mode ON and the fingerprint sensor activated.
At the begenning of my use, i have not met any issue : ambiant display was functional (i.e written informations on a black screen).
Now, when i wake up the screen with a double tap to wake gesture , informations are stile written but, this time, on a grey flickering/flashing screen (kind of stobe ligh effect). At the moment i touch the fingerprint sensor, it stops to be flashing grey and return to normal black.
Does someone have any idea of this issue? I am hesitating to proceed to a factory reset in order to see if it solves it.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
