when screen is turned off, in 15 minutes timeout, shake the phone twice to turn the screen on again

this consists of 3 flows, enable "so1" and disable "so2" and "so3" by default..
you can change variables "hrs" and "mins" in so2 flow for timeout (to prevent battery drain)
it's set to 15 minutes. and you may need to adjust periodic timer's time value too

also you may change "shake" trigger in so3 (you may apply gesture, another trigger like proximity etc)

feedback about these flows are welcome,

Hello! I am new to this app and tried your nice workflow. It's working fine, but gets deactivated when I quit Automagic. Is that normal? Shouldn't it stay alive in the background?

Every flow is a part of Automagic; so it has to be running in the background.

It's not compiled to run seperatly!

@Martin:
How about this nice feature in an "Automagic-Professional"-Version ?

Then I don't understand what this 'keep alive' icon in the status bar is for? Obviously Automagic stays in the background even if I close it in the Task Manager. But the flow won't execute nevertheless.

If you close (kill) in task manager, it might stay CACHED in memory but it's not RUNNING. Android keeps services with notification icon in higher priority than services without and is less likely to kill it in low memory situations.

So when you exit automagic, just press back button but don't close/kill with any task manager.
