[Q] Looking for an app "screendimmer" - General Questions and Answers

Hi, Im using Android (Note 2) and looking for an app called Screendimmer from IOS. Here is the youtube about how it works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB4VWhZtU5c
I use this for whatsapp. While Im chatting and waiting for a reply, the phone usually turn off and I have to press the power button to wake it up. My friend who is using Iphone showed me that he installed Screendimmer on Cydia and solved all the problems above.
I tried to use "tasker" together with "screen filter" but I failed to do that. So is there any app in Android that has the same function like ScreenDimmer?
Any helps.
Thanks

u can go to www.iphone-developers.com

Ban? We could get banned for posting there?

Sewrizer said:
nope. but you can have your thread closed/moved.
you can get banned if you threat people, use inappropriate language, show disrespect towards other users.
if you make a post in the wrong section you usually get reported and one of the moderators closes the thread and if it is necessary they may delete it.

Firstly, Im using note2 with android 4.1.2 so chainsfire does not support.
Secondly, I think you misunderstand my needs. You can what this video and I hope you maybe interested in this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB4VWhZtU5c
I have been looking for this app for Android but I found nothing. It is available for IOS users and I think It should support Android too :silly:

Yes I also tried that app but it is not what I need. The main reason that I am finding this app is that I dont need to press the power button everytimes I am waiting an message/whatsapp/viber/facebook. The screen will automatically dim (it does not like the screen time out that auto lock the screen after x seconds) and it will come light when I touch the screen. It can save battery (by dimming the screen at the lowest brightness...nearly black) and the power button also.
waiting for some developers who can build an app like this :victory:
P/S: I have an idea that we can use Tasker and Screen Filter, and set a loop with a condition that when a specific app is open (whatsapp for example), if in 10 seconds, there is no touch on screen (I left the phone there for 10seconds) it will activate Screen Filter (that set at the lowest brightness) to dim the screen (not lock it); then when the phone receives touch, Screen Filter will be disable. In that 10seconds, if there is touch occured, it will recount another 10seconds again. I am not a IT guy so I can not do it myself. Can anyone try this?

up waiting for any idea

It seems that there is no developer interested in this app
I have emailed to the developer of the IOS app but still received nothing.

Touiteur twitter app

great article on what looks to be a very promising twitter app for android.
video walkthrough in there as well as a release date of feb 16
waiting anxiously!
http://androinica.com/2010/02/15/touiter-will-eventually-be-the-best-android-twitter-app/
and developer site is
http://levelupstudio.com/
Hmm, will try it when it's out.
I tried many twitter apps and it's going like this:
1. Twicca (beta)
2. TwidroidPRO
3. Seesmic
999. Tweetcaster
It's out!
How much does it cost? I can't check because I'm in Canada.

There is a free version and a €1.99 premium version.
Yes its out!
Trying it out now. The layout is great. I also turned on the group by color option in settings.
Definitely best ui for a twitter android client.
My only complaints so far is that refreshes seem a bit slow. I don't know if this has to do with the different login method. This doesn't store your login information on the app, instead you authorize it to connect with your twitter account so if your phone gets inti the wrong hands you can deactivate twitter permission from anywhere.
Also I would love to see threaded conversations.
Well, it's not bad. Nice longpress and shortpress features but only 10m refresh time?
Also like the oauth login.
I tried it a few minutes and right after using it I opened twicca and disliked the amount of tweets you see without scrolling on twicca xD Touituer is better with this

It's got a nice UI but still like Seesmic.
Also does this have twitter trends? because I can't find it.
It looks nice, but I still prefer Swift.
Fantastic. Exactly the type of app I've been waiting for. It's very pretty, functional, nice flare, looks like a lot of work went into it. Refreshing is a little slow, but it will improve with time. One of the best apps out there.
I can't wait to see more apps like this from Android developers.

[REQ] Lock Screen App

The power button on my N1 has been giving me fits, and given the number of people I've read about with "dead" power buttons, I think mine is going out so I'm trying to preserve it as long as possible.
I enabled trackball wake (using CM6) which takes care of 1/2 the equation, but I need a good lockscreen app (just something to make the phone go to sleep). I found one in the market called Lock Screen Enabler, but it's not a "true" lockscreen app and it's very buggy, causing all sorts of problems for me.
I've been a web developer for 8 years and recently got into Android development (which I hope to be doing full-time soon), so I thought I'd just code a quick app for personal use in 5 minutes.
The problem, however, is that the DEVICE_POWER permission is needed in order to call goToSleep() and from what I've read so far from other online posts, this permission is only granted to native system applications.
Since my phone is rooted, I even tried granting my application SU privileges, but that doesnt seem to work either.
So, my question boils down to how do I grant my application DEVICE_POWER permission? I figure if anyone out there knows the answer, it's going to be someone on XDA as this place is full of geniuses. Thanks in advance!!
UPDATE: I've attached the finished app. Made this for personal use but if anyone wants to use it they are welcome to. My only gripe about it right now is the "screen flicker" that happens when you launch it because it's trying to launch an app that immediately locks the screen and finishes itself. If I can figure out how to get the app to launch in a smaller window maybe I can minimize the size to reduce the screen flicker. But for now, this works and I can set it to launch when I click the clock on Fancy Widget, so I'm happy. Thanks again to everyone who offered answers to my questions. Just another reason why I love the Android development community!!

It seems that you'll need to add the application as a device administrator. There seems to be some decent information half way down this page under Device policy manager: Link.
I'd be interested in using this application as I can't change the icon of my previously mentioned widget.
Edit: More information here as well: Link.

I will probably still go ahead and create one. I like how with FancyWidget you can set it so clicking the clock will launch an app. Unfortunately it doesn't work with widgets, so I need an extra icon on my home screen just to lock it. If you have an icon you'd like me to use, feel free to share and I'll put it in
And thx for the info!!
I would be happy with any icon to be honest, I just don't like the lock screen widget one Good luck bud

Alright, I got it working, but there's one problem. It can't be uninstalled because it's currently a device admin. Same goes for that Lock Screen Widget I installed earlier.
Looking into a way to be able to uninstall, if one even exists....

Good call. Thx. However, I also came up with a work-around for ppl who are just as lazy as myself. There are 2 icons in the launcher. The first will lock the screen (once you enable the app as a device admin). The second will disable the app as a device admin, allowing you to uninstall at your will.
I really intended for this app to be for personal use, but if anyone wants it I'll put it up here for you to download. If you'd rather I remove the second launcher icon and just let you to disable it through Security settings, I will also do this (as really, I don't plan on uninstalling any time soon so this is fine for myself).
Thanks to everyone who helped out!!!

Application is in the OP. Have at it
Great, works perfect on MIUI 0.9.30
Does the job perfectly! I especially like how it runs as an app so I can change the icon
You're a lifesaver, or should I say power button saver
Thanks so much.
I tried to develop something similar before but got stuck. Saved me some time!
Thanks for creating such useful app for my N1. My power bt is fine, but I would like to preserve it to powering up/down the phone.
BTW, I also downloaded Lock Screen Widget to test it out. Is it possible that you can make your app to shut off the screen smoother, like LSW? I like it you set it up as an app, which is super useful for me set up as a gesture swipe on my LauncherPro dock icons.
Thanks again and keep up your good work!
Thanks again, your app is really great. But could you add a option to map it to the search button (long press) please?
Thank you!

The Little Programs To Make Our Phones Better Thread!

Hi folks,
I do a lot of research and check several forums and come across those little known about apps that just make life better with your phone so I figured I would start this thread to highlight them and bring them more into the limelight. This is my list below and these are the programs that follow me always when flashing new roms, we all know the big boys like Titanium Backup etc but they are not for this thread so lets leave them out and see if we can't create a better experience for all One S users and get the dev's we feel deserving of some extra recognition for the work they have put in making our phones even better. Please where possible provide links to any app you add to make life easier and I hope you all enjoy!
Side note ~ First thing I highly recommend software wise is TWRP recovery, anyone still using CWM recovery please change to TWRP now! CWM is very old and outdated and causes more problems than its worth. I suggest using v2.2.2.0 as never let me down. See attached at the bottom to download it.
My List -
1) Flash Image Gui - Say goodbye to fastbooting boot.img's on ANY hboot this wonderful little tool allows the flashaholic in all of us to flash not only kernels but also radio's from within a rom! Simply flash boot.img and reboot to recovery, wipe and flash rom and reboot. Nice simple and essential in my book. I would also encourage people to buy the license for $0.99 as dev is very active to help and sort problems.
Market Link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.flashimagegui&feature=nav_result#?t=W10.
Thread Link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1954121
2) Ultimate Rotation Control - The one and only rotation control app that can REALLY LOCK your screen in ANY orientation and also FORCE the automatic orientation to override app specific settings. This is a seven day trail before needing to pay but it is worth it for the per app settings!
Market Link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.fameit.rotate&feature=search_result#?t=W10.
Thread Link - Not really a thread link but very detailed summary http://xyo.net/android-app/ultimate-rotation-control-0PkKMbs/
3) Velis Auto Brightness - I love this app! I hate the auto brightness handled by system but with this app I have FULL control of my auto brightness settings AND it has a cracking little setup wizard to help. Oh and the profiles settings is quality allowing me to for example have a profile for normal dark conditions (screen on lowest) or if I'm watching a film I have a movie profile to turn screen up to full. Also features smoothing controls and dev is always open to suggestions.
Market Link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.velis.auto.brightness&feature=search_result#?t=W10.
Thread Link - http://www.xda-developers.com/android/velis-auto-brightness-app-brings-full-auto-brightness-control/ (XDA Write up)
Thread Link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910521
4) Button LED - All I can say is YES! BLN (Back Light Notification) for the One S. Never miss another notification due to the completely rubbish LED we have, from emails to messages and most things in-between this will allow you to have the back lights on the soft keys light up and pulse on and off when a new notification arrives and you get to set the blink pattern! Also features flashlight notifications too!
Market Link - Not in Play Store yet.
Thread Link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1958939
5) Screen Off And Lock - Free version does exactly what it says on the tin, turns screen off and locks phone, a nice touch is the working ICS fix which some other third party apps suffer where screen goes off and straight back on.
Included a donate version because the screen off animations are fantastic and you can play screen on and off sounds to if you want. Saves our power buttons any extra bashing and works a treat. It also makes my iturd loving friend jealous!
Market Links -
Free - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&feature=search_result#?t=W10.
Donate - https://play.google.com/store/apps/...lockdonate&feature=more_from_developer#?t=W10.
Thread Link - No thread found.
Thank you for starting this thread
And yes, Flash GUI is a life saver :highfive:
Guess I try Ultimate Rotation Control and Button LED because the led does suck.
Button LED is a ripass. Missed that from my old HTC Hero.
I always use the Power Toggles. Find it handy on stock rom.

Some older flashables don't have the updated updater script so fail with 2.3.1.0, everything I've thrown at 2.2.2.0 just flashes no problem hence my version suggestion.
CAPATITIVE BUTTON BRIGHTNESS
from HTC one x forum, works with the one s too.
You can enable or disable the button brightness. One s is not officially supported yet, but when it is, the app can dim the button brightness too.

Em never tried Titanium Backup like that but can always move it over after.
"Kernel Tuner" for one to add, in case some people are unaware of the app. Even if you don't have custom kernel, also under misc tweaks, there is now an option added to the latest version on play store to use a regular cable for OTG. works awesome, have used it personally, but you will still need a USB hub of some sort to go from male to female.
And +1 for "usb otg helper.

[APP][4.2+] Daydream Launcher

Ever wanted to launch that fancy Daydream screensaver easier? In your Android 4.2+ device's settings, you are only given the options to launch Daydream while docked or while charging.
Now, there is an easier way simply to launch Daydream, right from your home screen, no matter if you are docked, charging, or neither. Just press the icon, and Daydream will start.
I have heard a few people ask for such a shortcut, so I made this; if you have any suggestions or problems to report, please let me know. Also, this is ad-free and requires no permissions.
Google Play link: http://bit.ly/XuPPmv
Also, if you want the source, I will look into putting that up somewhere, too, but it really is a simple shortcut application.
Last thing: if anybody wants to make the feature and/or promo graphics for the app on Google Play, post them here, and I will probably use them.
I hope this shortcut helps somebody out there!
03/31/13:
Thanks for the nice comments, guys.
I know this is no excuse, but I have been really busy. However, I got going this week, and have looked into adding more features.
The popular request seems to be for the daydream to start when the screen becomes idle. Well, I have included that, kind of. Some of the features I have added were hard to do, given the way that daydream was set up by Google. There will be a Daydream Launcher Plus app for 99 cents on Google Play that includes many new features and will help to further my development. Also, the current free app will be getting a minor performance update. I hope you enjoy whichever app you choose to use! And, I love all feedback, good and bad (but constructive ).
Have fun, XDAers!
Daydream Launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ydreamlauncher
Daydream Launcher Plus: http://goo.gl/sfWWZ
tl;dr: Daydream Launcher has been updated. Daydream Launcher Plus has more features, and I will continue to take feature requests.
Would it be possible for this to launch daydream after a while of the phone being idle?

Thanks for the app I was looking for something so I could leave poweramp on and not get image burn in, like a screen saver, which this does -though I notice I have to turn off screen timeout (presuming in all modes one needs to?)
Thanks
Edit: just changed my "car" profile in my profile settings to screen timeout "never", so that I guess easily enough solves it

I know this is an older post but wanted to point out that modern led screens are very very hard to burn and it would take years n years of a solid non moving image to burn in, long after you would have retired most phones. Have you ever seen an image burned into any phone?

Apparently some image burn in can occur, as I set power amp music player screen to not turn off when playing, and after not even that much use (maybe more than i realized), leaving it on in the car sometimes, now when it's a solid screen, such as solid grey, I can lightly see the buttons (play, rewind, fast forward, etc.) burned in, so wanted to avoid further burn in.
Great app
I just try it and can say that is great app. It is be more better if you make that daydream app start when screen in idle. That be perfect. Thanks again for your work.
Thanks for the nice comments, guys.
I know this is no excuse, but I have been really busy. However, I got going this week, and have looked into adding more features.
The popular request seems to be for the daydream to start when the screen becomes idle. Well, I have included that, kind of. Some of the features I have added were hard to do, given the way that daydream was set up by Google. There will be a Daydream Launcher Plus app for 99 cents on Google Play that includes many new features and will help to further my development. Also, the current free app will be getting a minor performance update. I hope you enjoy whichever app you choose to use! And, I love all feedback, good and bad (but constructive ).
Have fun, XDAers!

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I have tried both Daydream Launcher and Daydream Launcher Plus on my Sprint Galaxy S4 running stock (rooted) 4.2.2 (MDL), and each time I launch the app it crashes and never runs. Any chance of getting this to work with the GS4?
Thanks.

Any chance of updating this app to work with the GS4, running latest firmware? I even purchased your premium version, and would love to use this.
I've sent you multiple crash logs from the app, sent you a direct email, and left feedback in the app store. Hopefully one of these methods reaches you.
Thanks.

Would it be possible for this to launch daydream after a while of the phone being idle?

[APP] Notification using buttons' led

I came from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2330551 where a user has reported that my app works on this phone, so maybe you'll find it useful.
----- Forget this thread, I don't understand why a user has suggested me to post here... this mobile phone already has notification led -----
I've developed a little application that should work in all MTK phones that have separate led for lighting the buttons.
The latest version will be available on my blog, but as I don't have 10 messages I can't post links... so see attachments (in the app you can find a link to my page where there will be the latest version).
How to use:
Simply install the application, open it and test that LED works (by clicking the ON, OFF buttons, it will ask for ROOT permissions), once you know it works, you need to activate the Accessibility Service to let the application catch the incoming notifications.
That's all.

It's for phones without led for notification, so this is useless here... I don't understand then why the user suggested me to post it here...
Forget this thread, I'll try to remove it from here.
Thanks

Yes works!!!!!!!! great For devices with non led notification and as reported a blinking notification as in nokias(speed of blink n style) would be great and another thing/Request..it would be great if user has a choice of which capacitive led (Back or home or multitask or search) to blink or notify for what will also be good and i'm sure there will be ton's of downloads for this app later on you an move for Universal device compatibility!!!!!

I'll add the blink option probably this night, I have finished it just now and want to test it before releasing, and will try to make it customizable.
About selecting which button to light, forget about that, usually this phones (and most of phones) control all the buttons leds at the same time, so it's physically impossible to select which button to light, as they leds are connected to the same control line.
Universal compatibility seems also difficult, there are commercial apps like Lightflow to provide more "universal" and "professional" led interactions, but even this app has lots of comments about not working (for example, on my MTK phones it doesn't work). I'll be satisfied if I can get "universal" compatibility on all MTK phones.
