This app does not make hovering work. It just uses the proximity sensor at the top to fake it. There are other apps that do this better. I mainly use the sensor to turn off the screen when I close the cover.

Proximity Screen Off Pro by SHAILESH is the one I use - I tuned it up with the Dev and it works really great if you have the Samsung integrated cover case. But there is one secret to get it to work - the cover does not trigger the the sensor - in fact you can touch the cover and activate things on the screen if the screen is on. So to fix this problem I double sided taped (you can spot glue as well) a card made of paper stock on the inside of the cover and bingo works perfect. My wife had some cool card designs so it actually looks really nice a customized when I open the cover.
There are some tweaks to the timing you need to make as well:
Preferences:
Screen On/Off Modes
Flip/Cover Mode: ON
Timeout 1.5 sec
Enable Screen On using Gest - This lets you wave your hand over the sensor to turn on the screen - nice.
All Settings:
Enable device admin - this is a really nice feature- it allows you to have it unlock your phone when the app is active. It has a widget that I use to turn the service on and off. At home I use the cover, away I do not and the phone locks.
Flip cover fix - No Recognize Delay - ON Delay is 3 secs.
Disable call handling - On
Enable Schedule Start Stop
These are what I found works great for me.

Just received my flip - cover.
The design is good, controlling the thickness well by removing the original back cover.
May I know is there any way to quickly sleep the note 2 by flip-covering it, just like a netbook.
Thanks a lot

Yes, try Smart Screen Off in the Play Store
I'm curious to hear how well it works on the Note 2

It doesn't actually lock the device though does it? Just uses the proximity sensor to shut the screen off.
Put your Gnote2 screen off, place it on the table screen facing the top.
Wave your hand over the front camera & sensors.
???
Profit
Not hidden at all, that's 'Quick View' which is an option in the Motion settings. But you're not the first to get excited and post about it here as if you've found the Holy Grail.

It's really delayed. Just swipe quickly and after a few secs it will show. The proximity sensor triggers it as it is lit up red when my phone screen is turned off.

I stumbled across a cool little feature while the screen is off. Cover the light and proximity sensors for several seconds and the top half of the screen will emit an aqua blue aura that displays missed calls, messages, and battery. I know this feature is somewhat useless, just thought I'll do some digging after it accidentally popped up on me while handling the phone.
Edit: Cool, I didn't realize it was the Quick Glance feature. Thought I was going crazy when I couldn't figure out how to reproduce it.
Hmm I do not see that
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Doesn't happen here, either. Is this some kind of buried setting?
I could see this being useful if it could detect your phone is in your pocket, and when you pull it out, it would show that information.
It's in settings - motion - quick glance.
Then if you scroll down while still in motion to advanced settings there are more options for it in there.

Yeah I found it, very neat. I turned it on, I'll see if I continue to like it or if I find it annoying.I turned on a few more motion features. Why not try them?
The phone must also be laying flat (like on the table for example) otherwise it doesn't work.
Yeah it doesn't seem to be too reliable plus the info goes away too fast for me

thanks for this...no more pressing the power button when my phone is on the nightstand just to see the time or battery...etc...nice feature
Cool.

Does turning this on have and detrimental effects on battery life? Does it get activated accidentally in your pocket?
Love it. Wish it was faster, though. My screen turn on lag is not good
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
I noticed you can press the touch keys in those few seconds while the screen lights up and it will make the drip sound... little annoying in the middle of the night.

Don't think it would do much damage to the 3100mAh battery. I'm still getting over a day's use, at least 6 hours of screen on with the quick glance feature on. According to others, it only triggers if the phone has been laying on a flat surface. So I think it'll be just fine in our pockets.
I have the Samsung Flip Cover on my GN2. I would like to have the screen turn off whenever I close the cover. Is there a setting or app that does this?
Thanks.
Ah just found this. Will see if it works
Pseudo-Smart Cover - Cover turns screen off when closed.

** Of the Market Apps available, Screen Standby seems to work the best for me.
I've been using Intellicover for this very purpose and it works great. Once you have it set up. The whole idea is annoying for when you accidentally slide over the proximity sensor and your screen goes dark.
But on the plus side, I can now "magically" turn my phone on by waving my hand over it!

Yeah it can be a pain in the butt, especially when writing notes and you keep turning the screen off. I eventually decided to just push the power button before I close the front cover.

I found "case sensor for tablets" in play when I had my tab. It should work. It might also be paid? Cool thing about it was you can set a timer so it turns off say 3 seconds after closed vs if you accidentally cover it.

I use "proximity screen off" it works great and has lots of options, Like delay so you won't accidently turn off. And an excluded apps list so you can turn it off in certain apps only.there is a Free version too. I donated its a great app.

Swipe your hand slowly over the sensor and the phone will show time, missed calls, messages, and battery percentage. I think it's a pretty tight feature. Was just wondering how many people actually knew about it and use it.

It's a nice feature but I wonder how much battery it will drain? If you think about it, in order for it to respond when you put your hand over the sensor, it means the sensor is always going to be on. That means something is running all the time.

I do use it. the first few days I had the Note II I kept wondering why is it turning on by itself. there was no ad about it like the other touchwiz features of the S III on youtube. then I found lots of touchwiz features on settings. LOTS.

Good point about battery life, but battery life on this device is so good at least for me. I'm willing to to sacrifice what ever drain it does use tho. I love this freakin phone.

Just checked, this feature keeps the proximity sensor always on when the screen is off. To test, turn the phone of in a dark room, you should see a red glow in the sensor.

Even laying the phone flat on my side table it seems to work sometimes. This feature is good but seems to be hit and miss.

I tried using it for a while and noticed it had noticeably more battery drain for me. I guess YMMV though.

I also experienced a noticable battery drain after enabling the feature. Then when I turned my screen on it would not sleep. Rebooted and it works fine.

Its a really nice feature for when ur walkimg around ur office or house and just wanna see if u have any missed txt, but i did read something online where it drained the battery super fast. So i shut the feature off and i literally got 5hrs more out of the battery, wasn't worrying through out the work day if it was gonna die.

used it for about an hour, was pretty meh. Good concept, but bad implementation. I have my phone on my desk and it was always turning on and off. But when I needed it to to show me quick glance data, it worked about 50% of the time.
The only thing from that menu I love is the Palm Swype to screen capture.

I have been testing the quick glance feature and noticed that it works best in low light conditions, especially in darkness..
I sleep with my phone on my bed (I use it as my alarm clock) and with the lights out quick glance works for me every time. I have gotten to like it because the screen is much easier on the eyes, at night (dimmer), than hitting the power button to check the time/notifications. I disable it during the day though.
The Palm swipe for a screen shot is awesome. It is a much faster way to take a screen shot than having to take out and use the S-Pen.. I wish the screen didn't turn white while swiping though. Not a big deal I just think the loud click upon taking the shot is enough to let the user know the shot had been taken.
I used it when I got my Note in November but as mentioned, it does cause a very noticeable battery drain.

my favorite on there too. I used the quick glance the first few days then just got tired of it. I prefer the smart alert, it vibrates when I go pick it up if I have a missed call or message.
