Prox: Control your phone without touching it
PLEASE READ!
Your phone must have a proximity sensor for this app to work. Phones that have a dual purpose ambient light sensor for proximity usage might have unintended bugs. Please do not leave a bad review if this does not work properly for you. The model of phone and software loaded all come into play on how well this will work. Also, most tablets don't have a proximity sensor, so don't be surprised if it doesn't work.
Prox Lite is a gesture based service that allows you to complete actions without even touching your phone. It uses the accelerometer and proximity sensor to launch these actions. Just tilt your phone in the desired direction and then pass your hand over the proximity sensor. You can get that real Jedi feeling and impress your friends when you launch the browser without touching the phone. The force is strong with this app :)
Prox doesn't do anything during phone calls, allowing for normal proximity sensor functionality. You won't be doing any face gesturing so don't worry :)
Prox Lite is the free version of Prox. With Prox Lite, you can complete four actions: Emulate home button, expand and contract the notification panel, launch your phone dialer, and launch your browser. Since it's a service, it will work in any application on your phone. You could be browsing the web or sending a text message and if you perform one of these actions, then Prox Lite will work.
For many more features, check out Prox Pro. Some thoughts on the pro version:
