thanks I was trying everything to install I had the same issue wit the button, an disabled screen filter and bam good looking man

"Brightness Adjuster" was the problem in my case

Hi guys! I have the same problem - seems like every brightness control application in some way interferes with the other apps and I can't install APK files anymore.
I've tried Screen Filter, Dimmer (Night Mode), Brightness widget and nothing - if I install any of them I can't install APK from dropbox/sd card. Why is that so?!
My phone is LG L5 II and the minimum brightness is too bright, so I really need some kind of application, which controls the screen brightness.
What do you think? How can I have them both - brightness control app + working installation of APK files?

Screen filter apps work by installing a layer, so to speak, on TOP of your viewable screen. This is NOT a bug, it is how it works. To resolve this issue just change your screen filter ( generally for low light environment and night viewing) to Chainfire's app, "CFlumen" and you're done.

Note screen "too" bright?

My XDA friends
I an a heavy data user on the Note. Especially during night time I find the notes screen to be"too" bright. And I have the brightness setting set to a minimum.
Have also tried the built in "auto brightness" feature
Do we have an app that can reduce the nighttime brightness?

I use Screen filter

One of the first apps I install when wiping/switching roms!

I'd use ''screen adjuster'' free on play store. A lot more user settings than using screen filters.

Get screen filter from the Google playstore

tryying "screen filter " now, thank you all for your help

Check out rootdim to go to true minimum brightness, slightly darker than what you can normally reach. Also juicedefender has its own auto brightness function which integrates a screen filter-like dimming by shading, works nicely.

Chrome-browser brighter than Internet-browser

Why are some apps brighter than others?
When i set the brightness completely down I noticed it with chrome and internet browser but i think other apps act equal.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

The bright is changing automatically, i believe.
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app

But the "auto" checkbox is unchecked.
Is this something i have to live with or are there settings or apps wich could fix it?

have you tried other web browsers?

There is an app "screen filter" from play store. To reduce the screen brightness. Ya. Chrome is a lot brighter. it doesn't even have the inverted mode that stock browser has! (Google must be crazy!)

Check and see if you have the setting to change brightness depending on image content enabled or not (different than auto brightness).
I like the Screen Filter app. I even use a similar thing on my desktop. Bah humbug to too-bright screens.

The screen filter app is great, thanks
But the normal internet browser is still darker. If i open chrome or an other app and than open the internet browser in splitscreen the whole screen gets darker. I thought there were more apps wich are darker but i think i was wrong -> the only darker app is internet but why?
@pennycake this setting changes nothing. What does it exactly do? How can i check if it's working.

Backlight app ?

Is there any app (without root) which can toggle our explorers menu lights on - off because at night i don't like bright lights down there . I know it is possible because any ebook reader app can disable backlights. For example- aldiko ebook reader . It disables backlight at time of reading book without root. I wonder if it can disable light then why not any other app without root ?

Use the "Power Widget" on the homescreen and toggle zero brightness at nighttime. Always helpful for me, saves battery

Sure man its possible.. I will let u know whether any app already exist or I will design my own app and upload it here..
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda app-developers app

Use Custom Auto Brightness application from google play. It gives you the complete control over display brightness as well as you can control button brightness too.
Don't forget to press thank if i helped you..

Check the settings in the app. You will find that enable option too.

See the top-right corner in the app, you will find 3-4 horizontal bars. Touch that. Then touch on settings. The third option "Disable button Backlight", tick that off.
Now, your button's backlight is enabled.
Just installed the app to check and make sure, if i was right.

Try keyboard backlight controller. It's free but root required...

Backgrounds for 'WatchWidgets'

Please feel free to post here Backgrounds for use with 'WatchWidgets'.
Make sure that the resolution for the background is 220 x 176

I like your backgrounds three.
There is mine. That_Board, Mario background(from here).

I have a dumb question. How do you add clocks and widgets after adding background image? Every time I add it, everything greys out. If I add things before background, it greys out.

You have to add the background first, and then you can put on top of it -for exapmle- a clock

I tried that but then everything greys out and i cant put anything on top of it. Thanks for responding.

Well, this Question was already answered before you posted it...

I spent some time modding this Goldeneye watchface for looking better on B/W low rez mode:
I've included the original file incase anyone wants to take another crack at making it better looking on an SW2. If so please post results.
