I'm using both of them, SleepAnalyser and ProximityClock. As my phone is laying beside my pillow it's not covered all night and I can easily open the clock by skimming over the device. Very useful!

Unless you are using some custom magical way for reading the sensor you are polling it.
So, how many times a second are you polling the sensor OR are you just using the proximityd defaults?
Are you even using proximityd at all?
What is this thing programmed in?
Has anyone run powertop while this thing is running?

nice app that I did not know I wanted!
Could it be made so that when the device is locked and the app wakes it up to show the time, afterwards it locks itself again?
Also perhaps another way to exit in addition to timeout could be if you tap the screen.
I tried powertop
first result is with proximityclock inactive and second when it is active
Total wakeups 4009, 133.6/s | IRQ 3184, 106.1/s | Timers 825, 27.5/s
HW wakeups 191, 6.4/s | Real gp_timers expired 141, 4.7/s
Total wakeups 7863, 262.1/s | IRQ 5767, 192.2/s | Timers 2096, 69.9/s
HW wakeups 52, 1.7/s | Real gp_timers expired 36, 1.2/s
with top, cpu usage when active between 0,3 and 0,9.
I can not really interpret them, but they seem good numbers.

@vi_ : I didn't use proximityd or dbus. I simply read the state (through the /sys file) every 100ms only when the daemon is active.
@evan: thanks. Your request sounds good, maybe I'll implement it
I've also tested the behavior with top, and I think that it use not so much in term of resources.
Best Regards,
Daniele.

Any chance you could be a bro and post your code?

Hello,
I've just upload a new version (0.3) to extras-testing.
With this new version you can change the color of the clock's background and the numbers. You can also set the clock timeout (in seconds).
All these settings are accessible through a home widget's setting button.
Test&Vote
Tank you.
Best Regards,
Daniele Maio.
Works fine, except that the colours don't seem to work: I can change them but the end-result is always white numbers on black background.
An other remark is when I activate it by moving in front of the proximity sensor when my screen is on stdby, I am seeing (for a split-second) my home screen before seeing the time. This may be due to a slow unit...?
Edit: I also discovered that if you receive a phone call while Proximityclock is ON, the screen remains sensitive! So you have to be careful not to press your ear too hard against the screen...

Is it possible to make the app only work when the phone is locked? Also when my phone is locked it unlocked it’s self when using proximityclock.
