Hi,
Important : Requires ROOT and also the presence of 'Swipe Up' Gesture (generally used to trigger 'Google Now' in 4.1+ devices )
This is a simple App that emulates the click of Power Button.
Handy when u want to reduce wear and tear of the physical button or if the button is not working.
Currently the following method of Trigger are available:
- Using the Swipe Up Assist action which usually opens the Google Now App
Following are planned to be added:
- Shortcut
- Widget
- Tasker Extension
Advantage over other similar apps in Market:
The usual 'Screen Off' 'Screen Lock' Apps that are available to turn the display off and lock using a widget actually put the device to sleep immediately. This makes the 'Smart Lock' feature introduced in Lollipop not work. Also this makes the timeout period set in the 'Automatically Lock' security settings to not work.
Since my App uses shell commands (and hence the need for Root) to emulate Power Button press, both Smart Lock and 'Automatically Lock' settings work. :)
Note: Have tested it only in my Nexus 5 device.
AFAIK should not cause any problems in any device since nothing dangerous is being used. But still the usual disclaimer : ' I am not responsible for any damage done to your device, hand, home etc... LOL :p'
