[Q-solved] Water damaged Proximity Sensor - Motorola Photon 4G

So a few weeks ago, my phone decided to go for a swim.
I managed to dry it out, and it works as well as it ever has, but for one casualty.
My proximity sensor is shot. It reads 0 all the time, that mean when I'm in a call, it instantly turns off the screen, leaving me un able to use the keypad, or to even end the call.
I came across this in my searches,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626611
Saying that there is a line I can amend to the end of my build.prop that looks like such:
gsm.proximity.enable=false
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now the original thread was for The HTC Desire S for AT&T, and seeing how it references GSM, I assume it's not just a Ctrl-c, Ctrl-v kind of job.
So what would be the correct conjugation of this line for the photon?

You can edit the file /system/build.prop
Search the line: mot.proximity.delay= VALUE
Change the value to an higher value.

Edit:
Looks like I should've herped but instead I derped.
Since I'm running CM7, all I had to do is look here
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Now when it means longer than nomal then it will still time out right?
Surely there's a way to have it be set for an indefinate amount.
Even with the option checked to set the power button to end the call, I still can't end calls with the power button.
Any thoughts will be really helpful, kinda takes away from the whole phone thing, if it's a pain in the ass to make a call, I'm tied having to make a battery pull just to hang up.

So above has not helped.
I have heard about an app called screebl that is supposed to lock the screeen on on boot, but that hasn't helped either.

Still having trouble with this, which is annoying as hell since I have to often dial exertions for work, but I can't since I can't pull up the key pad after placing a call

This time I'm really not trying to bump the thread up, I promise.
So using elixir, I can show you that both the proximity sensor and light sensor are both completely unresponsive, I took this screen shot with a flashlight directly in the light/proximity sensor area.
With the proximity sensor constantly reading 3cm, my phone believes it is up to my face constantly.
I'm at my wits end, the option in accessibility to have the power button end the call isn't working either. So calls on my /phone/ are seven times the hassle than it needs to be.

The only way I have kept this from tearing my hair out is flashing Peetr's Hybrid v20, instead of Cybik's CM7.2
Now at least the power button actually ends the call again.
This isn't a fix though, it's a stop-gap. I'm trying to keep as detailed records as I can so if google throws some unfortunate soul here, there will be someone who at least tried to walk this path. Wish someone would say something, even if it was "Stop bumping this thread"

I FIXED IT.
In peetr's hybrids build.prop there's a line
ro.mot.proximity.touch=1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Setting that to 0 disabled the proximity sensor.
Hopefully no one else has to go through the headaches that I have done. But there it is.
