KinScreen is the tool to control when your screen turns on or off

KinScreen is the tool to control when your screen turns on or off.

KinScreen is an advanced screen control apps that completely customize the screen timeout behavior of any Android device. The app gives users the ability to utilize phone’s sensors to keep the screen on when using it.

Recognised developer Flyview has added a host of controls that completely customize the screen timeout behavior of your Android device. It also offers granular controls for each option to customize the auto timeout behavior based on your needs.

The latest update for KinScreen (v. 6.0.0) brings a bunch of additional features like tilt to wake, turn on by proximity sensor, time out by tilt, and more.

Turn on by tilt feature lets you turn your device’s screen on simply by tilting it over a predefined angle. The update also upgraded turn on by proximity feature to prevent the screen from waking up if the device is tilted below a specific angle.

Time out by tilt angle option which accelerates the screen time out if the device is tilted below an angle. A new Actively turn screen off function is also added which actively turns the screen off for the turn off by proximity and/or turn off by angle functions.

Changelog:

• Added turn-on-by-tilt-angle function
• Added tilt angle exception for turn-on-by-proximity
• Added time-out-by-tilt-angle function
• Added option to actively turn screen off as opposed to just timing out (Android 9+). Accessibility method does not interfere with fingerprint unlocking.
• Added while in-call exception for turn-off-by-proximity
• Fixed notification status icon on lock screen
• Fixed notification possibly disappearing when toggling manual toggle
• Fixed notification icon not changing back to hand from moon when there’s no active keep-on in between covering proximity and uncovering it
• Increased number of free apps that keep the screen on to 5
• Show notification on lock screen again
• Start on boot before unlocking (not finished in beta 5)
• Added warning dialog for turn-on by proximity functions
• Built for Android 11
• Fixed not turning off by proximity when function enabled while in proximity
• Fixed turningOffByProximity not being updated properly while toggling proximity exceptions
• Changed notification title to include whether manual toggle is on or off, and do so for older Android versions as well

• Increased minSDK to 18
• Changed “if tilted up less than / more than” to “if tilted under / over -30deg”
• Show all active keep-on functions as green instead of sometimes yellow if another function was already keeping it on since they all have the same importance. Yellow didn’t make sense as “would keep on if something else wasn’t already keeping it on” when it was being shown for detected motion out of angle range.
• Changed Upgrade dialog to use drawables instead of unicode so it doesn’t look different on diff devices

• Changed app detection method to hopefully prevent apps getting stuck as detected
• Consolidated method to detect foreground package names depending on Android version into Utils
• Updated app detection method with hashMap
• Save last time upgrade dialog shown and use that for auto showing time
• Moved upgrade dialog auto show to onSkuDetailsResponse so that listSkuDetails is ready in SA
• Link to rate dialog from menu so they get the messaging first. Updated messaging
• Capitalized all titles
• Changed to keep on while “on a” call
• Added links to changelog and translators into about dialog and onto website
