You are the greatest!!! I replaced my broken screen a while back but always had the problem with the damn proximity sensor. I am using Evervolve's Rom(Evervolv-Intus-1.2.0a2-liberty) which is based off CM7 (I believe), and I downloaded and extracted the "userinit.sh" and put into the folder you stated. I tried creating the file within root explorer(free app), but I decided to use the provided file. Now I do not have any problems with the backlight in dialer. Thank you again. I actually dont use this HTC Aria, but I was giving it to a friend (to introduce him to the wonderful world of Android), so I wanted to have it all tweaked and in good condition for him. It is s-off'ed & rooted as well. This was an annoying bug for this phone, so if you ever are dealing with any sony Xperia phones and are in those forums with a problem I hope to be able to return the favor.

OK people thanks to UksusoFF 's help and my own Linux background i was able to have my phone fixed and running. No more screen going offs & phone locks!!

I see that many of you had asked for a step by step process on working with the command line for disabling the proximity censor right?

Well here it goes folks , the complete step by step:

1 - You have to be ROOT to complete this task so ROOT your phone (There are many links on google on HowTo ROOT your phone so do it!!!)
2- Open the Emulator on your phone.
3- Type su - and make sure that $ sign changes to # meaning you are the ROOT User now and can make serious changes to your device's system.

4- Insert the following commands in the Emulator

# cd /data/local
# touch userinit.sh
# echo "#!/system/bin/sh" > userinit.sh
# echo "#" >> userinit.sh
# echo "chmod 0000 /dev/cm3602" >> userinit.sh
# echo "chmod 000 /dev/cm3602" >> userinit.sh
# chmod 777 userinit.sh

5- Now verify that the file exists
# cat userinit.sh (You should see the information inserted above appearing).

6- Restart your phone

If you have done it right , your phone should be fine now. Starting now You will be in charge of turning on/off your screen instead of the proximity censor.

Hope it works for ya

Cheers!

@ King-2012....Thanks for another method. With this method you have posted (using emulator) can we now disable the proximity sensor on any Rom instead of just cyanogen or cyanogen based (I.e. Evervolve)??

I'm not sure if it would work on other ROMS or other phones. I haven't tried it on other ROMS or Phones so i rather not make any comments since I'm not 100% sure. But, if they are using Cyanogenmod 7 or 7.1 then you might be able to achieve the same goal by inserting the above commands. I myself have a mytouch4G and so was forced to figure it out in order to fix my phone .

Cheers

additional info for droid a855

I am running Cyanogenmod 7.2 and the device file for the proximity sensor on my Motorola Droid A855 is /dev/sfh7743 instead of cm3602. The device file name is the same as the name of the proximity sensor identified by Android Sensor Box, so this may be a good way to identify your sensor's device file if you are having trouble finding it. Also, I only had to add chmod 0000 /dev/sfh7743 to my userinit.sh (The second chmod 000 was not necessary). Thanks for the guide!

good tip, thanks
