S-View Cover Flow for Automate - Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps

This is a flow I created with the help of Ben Rapaport in the CM Forums. It is a small program that uses the S5's proximity sensor to adjust the screen to the S-View Cover's window.
Directions before running this flow:
Make sure to navigate to Settings > Language & input, and turn the "High touch sensitivity" option on.
If you do not have the Automate app, install it. You can get it from Google Play. Make sure it is version 1.1.8 or later!
Open Automate. Tap the three dots in the top-right, then tap "Import". Find the flow that you downloaded from this thread and tap it to import.
The flow should be named "Samsung Galaxy S5 S-View Screen Resize". Tap the flow in the main menu and tap "Start" to run it!
Some things to note:
If you are running Android Lollipop/CyanogenMod 12 or earlier, you may notice that the screen does not resize well, if at all. This flow works best on Android Marshmallow/CyanogenMod 13 or later. We're still not sure why; perhaps the flow is too new?
The flow automatically enables the power save setting in your device's ROM when activated. You may deactivate this, but then it will heavily drain your battery! To do this, delete both blocks that enable and disable power save, then trace a line from YES on the proximity sensor block to IN on the shell command block containing "wm overscan #, #, #, #", and another line from No on proximity to IN on block with "wm overscan reset". If more people have issues with power save, I'll gladly add an alternate package to this post!
The screen may adjust improperly, depending on the size and position of your S-View window. Fix this by editing the numbers in the superuser shell command "wm overscan". Default values are 40, 0, 60, 950.
Trebuchet has issues with the flow, and may not appear when the cover is closed.
If you have any problems with this flow, feel free to discuss your problems below, and I'll try to help!
If the zip does not contain a file named "SamsungGalaxyS5S-ViewScreenResize.flo", please let me know! This is a free, password-less zip for anyone to share, use and modify. I do not accept donations - like I said, it's free! :angel:

I guess you're asking if the flow works on CM? The answer is yes. I just haven't gotten it to work with CM 12 and earlier.

i was installed the cm12 and cm13 roms. both of them are very good rom. but none of them supports s-view flip cover. that means when i close flip cover, no display was shown.
so my question is: is your apk for s-view? what s-view?in cm13, s-view not exists
just that is my problem. the cm roms are very very good but not have samsung apks

It is not an APK. It's a flow that goes with the Automate app. Please read the first post more thoroughly!
It should work with CM 13. If you have further problems, please post them!

i was follow the 1st post and install the apk and import your attached file and set all permissions for apk. but the following error occurs:
fail [email protected]: java.lang.illegalstateexception: failed to set power save mode (not allowed)
and the error: not running occurs. so the flo file not runs up to now

Are you giving it superuser permissions? You must have this to be able to run the flow.
If that doesn't work, try disabling the Power Save part of the flow. You can delete it from the flow, but don't forget to draw the connections back!

yes i give superuser permission for that
i think that the power saving apk not exists in cm13 rom !!!!
and i delete the power saving block, but this error occur continusly
and how can link blocks after deleting the power saving blocks?
may you create a new one and attach it? thanks
and a question: if this file works correctly, after closing s-view flip cover, the phone turns off or the screen of s-view has been shown?

The Power Save feature uses a setting into the CM ROM. It's possible that Power Save is not present in your version. You could flash a different ROM and try my flow again.
If you'd rather try to remove the Power Save feature, did you remove both blocks related to Power Save? One block turns it on when the cover is closed, the other turns it off. To get rid of the Power Save altogether, remove the Power Save enable and battery blocks, then trace a line from YES on proximity to IN on the shell command "wm overscan #, #, #, #". On the other side, remove the Power Save disable block, and make a line from NO on proximity to IN on "wm overscan reset".
I also have had the issue you are describing with closing the cover. I assumed that the problem was fixed in CM 13 when I upgraded, but I could be wrong. Perhaps Ben could look into that problem.
UPDATE: Added these instructions to the first post. Please let me know if any of you users have further problems with power save, and I'll upload another ZIP containing an alternate flow that has it removed.

Drag your stylus/finger from one point to another. It's a little sensitive, so you may have to try multiple times. Move the blocks around, if you need to.

finally works
very good . thank you
the windows size is very good for flip cover
i have some suggestions:
1- we can edit this flowchart to lock the phone immediately when we close the cover and unlock the phone after opening s-view cover
2- the speed of reaction is a little low
3- as i know, the sensor of s-view flip cover is not proximity sensor. it uses magnet proximity. could you find the sensor of flip-cover and replace that with proximity sensor for this flowchart?
thanks

Here is an apk file that diables the s-view function from developer, MohammadAG
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391549&page=2
by this apk file, we can find the associated files for s-view

Actually, this may vary with each cover. The S-View cover I have seems to not be magnetic at all; it is a very simple cover made by Samsung for the Galaxy S5. I can add a flow with a magnetic sensor instead of proximity, but as there was no noticeable change in the magnetic field upon testing by closing and opening my cover, you may have to set your own values!

if the cover is works with proximity sensor, why when we put our finger on the proximity sensor in top of the phone, the screen not off???
the magnetic sensor is not true, because i tested it now, and the magnetic field not changes. idon't know what sensor uses for proximity sensor
and another thing that: your flo file is proximity sensor based that when suddenly our finger go on the proximity sensor, suddenly the screen of phone changes i think and change the proximity with light sensor (value 0-9) why light sensor? because is low sensivity and good
and add two block to chart way: 1- lock phone and 2- brightness=50%
why? because i want to when i close the flip cover, phone locks automatically and the brightness of phone go to 50% because of dim screen when s-view closed
is that good?
but the problem is when that i go to a dark room and suddenly the screen closes and go little , because of using light sensor

Well, if you'll notice when installing the cover, there are two connectors on the inside that fit in designated slots. You can see them in this picture (the gold prongs by the camera hole).
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",

That may be a clue to how the cover is supposed to work. ​

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. I think you meant "I see what you mean. How does the cover work?"
Perhaps this needs Google-ing, Yahoo!-ing, DuckDuckGo-ing, or whatever. Or, maybe a cover needs to be taken apart to see how it works.
@Benrap, care to inout your ideas?

In stock, pretty sure the cover works using both magnetic and proximity sensors. When it senses both a strong magnetic field and sees there is something close by, it enters the mode with the little window. All this happens if the phone has been connected to an s-view cover with the little chip at the back, which tells the phone what colour the cover is, and the fact that it is manufactured by Samsung.
With @CyanogenLover 's flow it works with only the proximity sensor (something i disagree with - should be with both proximity and magnetic sensors), and without the chip testing at the back (pretty much impossible without being an amazing incredible awesome flabberghasting genius nerd)

I have create a flowchart that check both of "ambient light" and "proximity sensor" to lock automatically and resize the windows size when s-view cover close
here is my flowchart screenshot:
but when i close the s-view cover, the magnetic sensor not sense the magnetic subject of s-view, but when i close the phone to a magnetic field, the sensor works fine that's why i create both of light and proximity sensor that when suddenly your finger puts on proximity sensor, the phone dont go to resize and lock
