Description
This app has only one funcationality: When you start it, it will switch off your screen. And it does not break your fingerprint re-authentication unlike other apps. That's it.
Note: This app requires root!!! If you do not have a rooted phone, it will not work ! Also note, it can take 200-300 ms before the screen goes off, this is due to running a root command - which is objective of this app. So please do not complain about this.
Many other apps do the similar, so why another one?
Almost all other apps lock the screen, but if you then use your fingerprint sensor to re-authenticate in to your device, you get the security screen displayed first (pattern, pin, code etc.), which is completely stupid as your fingerprint was successfully validated already.
This app however, switches off the screen in a way, your fingerprint authentication will still work without landing up on the security screen again.
What else makes this app special?
•App is extremely light-weight, having only a size of below 60kb. •No advertisements •No background services •No special permissions apart from root
Does this compromise security?
Absolutely no. This app just simulates a press on the power button of the device. The behaviour is therefore exactly the same than physically pressing the power button. Feel free to try it.

Sensational Works perfectly with nova launcher screen off gesture

Perfect. Does what it needs to do and does it well. You can even set it as an assist app so you can lock the screen by long pressing home button.

Well I always wanted to try boeffla kernel but unable. Those phone I can't buy. But I was searching today then came across this app. This app I was searching for so long . Power button sucks on these phones this app save me
★★☆☆☆
Delay 3sec Aprox 3 s delay makes the app unusable. If lower - would be very usefull configured on the home button gesture - turns device off without hardware button :)
