Good news!!!

For those who don't like the problems the proximity feature introduces, I found out how to disable it!!!

It is super easy.
  • In your preffered way, find a way to edit the "lfocuswi.py" file.
  • The file is located inside "/usr/lib/hildon-desktop" folder.
  • remove lines 97 - 101 completely (or comment them)
  • This will disable proximity sensor trigger.
  • Reboot your phone - And thats it.
  • Keep in mind, if you update this app with a newer version then the latest which is 0.528-4, this change will be overwritten - but, if there is a new version it means the developer is back and he will solve the problems anyway (i think).
  • We can just thank the original developer for developing this great app, and doing it in python while sharing the code, allowing us to hack it easily.

Cheers!
And just to show how good this really is for macro pics, I tested it after disabling the proximity sensor. (don't forget reboot phone)
