hi, i just noticed on stock rom i can unlock the phone and all even if i have the phone in my pocket.. the screen turns on and all that is really bad..... i always had phone who dont wake up if its in your pocket (when the proxi sensor is covered) guess i really need a custom rom to use this phone cause i dont wanna pocket call people...

Gravity Screen - On/Off

From the play store... It turns off the screen when it's in your pocket...

Yeah it's one of the issues I've noted -- if I have it in my running pouch when I go to take it out it'll say the fingerprint sensor has had too many tries -- but the prox sensor was covered the entire time, so why did the phone LOOK AT the fingerprint sensor even if it detected contact? It shouldn't, since logically both should never be in contact with something at the same time, UNLESS the phone is in your pocket!
