We've all heard of the ability to set a custom DPI for each application, such as in the ParanoidAndroid ROMs and the Xposed Framework. Consdering that control of the user over his/her applications, I came up with App Control, Taking Application Control to the next level. Remeber it's still in beta so expect bugs.
The list remains short for now, but will be growing in time. This application allows you to set custom settings for each and every app, regardless of the fact of it being either a system or user application, such as;
Screen Orientation
Font Size
Input Method
Screen Timeout
Minimum CPU Speed
Maximum CPU Speed
Sound Mode
Wifi
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Examples and Explainations of Settings
Didn't get it? Here's how it works, for each application you can set these settings, you can specify the settings for each individual application. Here are the explainations for each feature or setting.
-Screen Orientation
You can specify an application to remain in a certain Orientation, which may be, portrait, landscape, reverse portrait and reverse landscape. Lets say you would like an application to stay in landscape, incase your watching a video on YouTube, Netflix etc, but you would like the rest of your applications to remain on auto-rotate and you don't want to go rushing back to settings to change this everytime, this setting gives you the ability to do exactly that.
-Font Size
Let's say you have an elderly person is using a device and they have problems with reading their daily news because the text was too small, with this setting you can make the Font Size larger to put that issue at ease. NOTE: This will work depending on your device, it is not guaranteed to work on every device.
-Input Method
You can select the keyboard or voice input is going to be used in the app you choose.
-Screen Timeout
Specify an app to Timeout Screen after a specified time, saving battery life, by reducing screen use.
-Minimum CPU Speed
Let's say your just going to be listening to music and would like to save battery at the same time, but you dont want to do that because your too lazy to switch back to an application to underclock then return to the normal clock speed when needed again, so with this app, you can specify that when your favourite music player if launched, your device's clock speeds will reduce.
-Maximum CPU Speed
Again, lets say your in a position to overclock your phone to avoid lag while playing a game, but that clock speed may stick for longer for any possible reason, causing battery drain and unnecessary heating up of the device, so you can assign clock speeds which will only trigger when that application is launched.
-Sound Mode
This allows you to set a Sound Mode such as Silent or Vibrate which will be activated when ever the application you selected it for is launched.
-Wifi
Wifi control will alow you to enable wifi whenever a specific application is launched, for example your browser.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to Use
Your applications will be displayed in a list alphabetically, tap on the application you want to specify settings for and choose from the menu.
To add more configurations, tap the What to Control button and check the ones you want from the list.

Problem with Phone.apk
Hi there.. Wonderful thought for your app.. 5*.. However when i changed the dpi and set the settings as suggested above.. Phone.apk is still not working..
The problem is the whole system dpi has been changed.. but when iam opening the phone application the phone restarts automatically.. any suggestions for this kind of problem.. If u need i will send both phone.apk and contacts.apk to u if you can help me out..
My Device: Micromax A27
Android Version: 2.3.5
Rooted and init.d support
Please help me in this regard..
And thanks a lot for your hardwork.:good:
You can't set the dpi with this app. But assuming you had it set already and these settings didn't work well with it, lemme test it out and try to fix the issue your facing.
You plan permission control too for this app?
I like it.

Yes I will be in the future but it will be apart from root permissions, I.e you can limit an app to not use the Internet so no ads can be displayed etc. Heres a short list of what I have planned:
-auto wifi start when a specified app is launched
-separate volume control ability for each app
-permission controls
-disabling on boot startup
Great idea. Thanks for this.

App Control 0.30 released!
Besides things already said (and besides custom dpi settings for people who may not be on roms fortunate enough to have that feature), I think full screen on certain apps would be a killer feature. Nice app, working on my phone

Are you working on a fix on the superuser issue
This is nice and all, but for a guy who already bought Tasker this seems kind of pointless. None-the-less, I tried out the app and it is very good at what it does. Good job!

Would be nice if it allowed presets (just like the brightness button). For example: Notifications Toggle (0 Volume => 50 Volume => 100 Volume). Again, it would be best if it could be user defined.
Anyway, for the time being, SwitchPro Widget has all I need (task killers are useless, JuiceDefender manages battery saving settings). But if you implement the above features, I'll probably get this app as well

Switch pro widget is not graphicallz well made as Extreme switches.You can control volume from volume manager and whats more not only notification volume but other 5 volumes in system it seems to me more important.

SwitchPro Widgets is graphically well made, it just has predefined presets that are customizable to an extent. The one I currently use looks well with the wallpaper.
As for volume, I never said you should remove the current features, simply add 5 more toggles, one for each of the volumes, so that I could easily switch, for example, notification sounds from 50% to 100%.
Of course, if you're not interested in suggestions, I'll stop.
Thanks for your effort,I will think about it

Hi guys!
here my first android app mainly born for personal usage and, now, considered "mature" enough for the brave members of this community
iPulse is an application that let you pulse the data connection (and WiFi in the pro version) depending on several configurable events.
Extremely useful to awake services that needs internet connection (e.g. push mail) without necessity to keep it always on, thus reducing greatly the battery usage.
iPulse can ignore the connection status, operate in manual mode for connection always on, connection always off (as a standard connection on/off manager) or in a totally automatic mode, driven by events. The different operating modes can be switched using widgets and/or commands in the notification area (Android >= 4.1).
The configurable events that can activate the data connection (and WiFi in pro version) in automatic mode are:
Timer (frequency, duration, and daily range)
Screen on and unlocked (with optional delayed timeout)
Battery charge (AC or USB)
The configurable events that can deactivate the data connection (and WiFi in pro version) are:
Expire of scheduled timer
Screen off (with optional delayed timeout and list of foreground apps)
Low battery signal (ignored when battery is in charge)
iPulse works on any Android device version starting from 2.3 (Gingerbread) and doesn't requires device ROOT. It is available in English and Italian. The free version is without any ads, the pro/donate version has more widgets and the possibility to handle also the WiFi/Tethering connections.
Notes:
There is an online manual that describes all the features (you can find it here as well: http://www.thinksoft.it/android/iPulse/manual/ipulse-user-manual.htm).
Since dual SIM support is not standard in Android, it could be that iPulse won't work properly on dual SIM devices.
The first time you install it don’t forget to run the app and accept the EULA to properly configure and enable it.
I would like to hear your comments and suggestions, please post them here or send them to "ipulse AT thinksoft.it"

Have a nice day!
Going to give this a try while at work. My signal there is spotty at best. Over a 9 hour shift it takes a toll on the battery. I have Automate It turn data off once work starts but I miss emails throughout the day unless I toggle manually.
Tomorrow I'll give this a shot and see if this helps. If so I'll buy your pro even though I have no need for the advanced options.
If you have weak signal I suggest you to raise the data connection timeout, try at least 180 seconds, you can even go up, that is the maximum time to wait for a successful connection.

Hi Martinhdk,
iPulse doesn't directly interact with apps (doesn't stop them), it controls the activation of the connection depending on events programmed (timer, screen, power), app that are "connection aware" (most of them) will connect and download automatically as soon as they will see the connection active.
Give a try to the free version it's full featured (except that doesn't manage the WiFi connection) and has no ads at all.
For any other question feel free to ask, I'll be glad to try to help you!
Best regards,
Marco

Woo-hoo. Can't wait. I love your Apps ☺?
Wow! What a cool idea. Saves precious seconds when launching the camera. Working great on my Moto G.
Bug: When my phone is in vibrate or silent mode, launching the camera changes the sound mode to normal.
custom camera setting would be nice. I'm using Camera Zoom FX instead of the built in camera most time.
Just noticed that Snapshot enables the camera when putting the phone into a docking station. It would be nice if this unwanted behaviour could be disabled, because I'm using dock clock.

It doesn't seem like it is working on my Nexus 7. I hold it like stated, but there's no activation. I could help with debugging it. As the tablet doesn't have vibration, I can't completely confirm I'm in the correct position. Maybe having some optional sound or toast would help with calibrating position.

Latest update broke the app
The latest update disabled the default landscape setting. No camera apps are listed. I'm using Google Camera from the Play Store which replaced the stock camera app on my N5. This may be because per app settings in the new update is limited to Pro versions but it was working just fine earlier.

+1 on cm11, I hope the individual camera app setting can be implemented again without compatibility issues.
Thank you for the fast update, just bought the Pro version.

I have 1 huge issue with this app. I use a dock to charge my phone so whenever I place my phone horizontally on the dock to charge which turns on the screen, the camera launches as well. Can a setting be placed to disable the app working when the phone is being charged?
EDIT: Also the option for the app to be disabled after X seconds after the screen is turned on would be nice. I believe now that after the screen it turned on in portrait mode and any time that it goes landscape after that launches the camera.
Love it
Works great on my rooted stock rom SGS4, would it be possible to choose the camera app you want to use in the settings, so we don't have to choose each time ? I'm an idiot works great.
@Jawomo. Any progress on the sound mode change bug?
Also What does the setting "only when locked" do?

Android places certain limitations on screen brightness not allowing you to reduce your screen brightness to the minimum level. This app will allow you to reduce your brightness to the minimum as soon as it detects that the brightness has hit the brightness limit.
On a device I tested, I found the following,
System Minimum (Normal Mode) : 7
System Minimum (Power Saver Mode - Lollipop) : 3
This app will allow you to reduce your screen brightness to 1.
If you are using CM12+ based ROM (May 20 or newer builds) the app will use the CM Tile which you can use to enable or disable the service. On all other devices a notification will be displayed allowing you to do the same. I made this app because the system's minimum brightness was still bright for me and would strain my eyes in a dark room.
Features
Relies on the system informing the app about brightness rather than polling.
Utilizes CM's Tile API. So no clutter in your notification drawer if you use CM
Limitations and Known Issues
If you have set a minimum brightness below the system specified limit, there will be a delay of 1 second or so to apply the brightness after you switch on the screen. This is a limitation and nothing can be done about it as of now.
The app may slow down the entire system if root permissions were not granted in a few seconds. if this happens just swipe away the app from the recents menu. The brightness service is not affected by this and will continue to run.

Go to system settings and search for modify system settings, over there you will find Brightness tweak, give it permission and it shall work fine.
I'll be fixing this in the next build, I'm just limited with not having a marshmallow compatible device and emulators don't support this

Here too, there's no quick settings shortcut on LOS 14.1 (Nougat 7.1.2).
Hope you hadn't abandoned this, your app is the only thing that actually works!
Can anybody help with starting and stopping the dimmer in Tasker using intents?
Works great on Sony Xperia XA 1.
This app can truly decrease brightness instead of drawing an overlay.

Cometin
What is Cometin
Cometin is a free*, growing collection of tweaks and tricks to optimize your productivity and improve the Android experience.
More information
I can create a separate app for every idea I have. But why shouldn't I put everything in 1 app?
Google announced Dynamic Modules at the IO in 2019
With dynamic features you can split an app into several parts. This is exactly what Cometin is.
Cometin is a growing collection of tricks and tweaks for your Android device, split into modules.
This way you only download the features that you want to use and save your storage space.
Available modules (with some small descriptions)
• Ambient display
bring a customized Ambient display, Always-on-display and wave to wake to your device
• App locker
Lock apps behind a passcode or pattern
• Better rotation
Forces every app to be compatible with every orientation including 180 degrees
• Caffeine
Keep your screen on for a certain amount of time
• Cometin Sync
Sync notifications, and notes between phones and desktops
• Darker brightness
Go below the minimum brightness by applying a dark overlay on top of your screen
• Flip to shhh (beta)
Flip your phone face down to silent notifications (except alarms)
• Heads-up
Hide head-up notifications
• Immersive
Hide statusbar, navigationbar or both
• Parallel
Create a work profile to seperate personal and work
• Remap assistant
Execute a different action when opening the assistant
Is this safe?
Yes! All modules are only served from the Google Play Store, all modules are scanned by Google Play Protect so nothing to worry about!
Installing modules:
The installation of modules is done immediately, and you can use the module immediately after installation.
Updating modules:
Installed modules are automatically updated together with Cometin. No hassle with separate files!
Removing modules:
Module uninstalls do not occur immediately. That is, the device uninstalls them in the background in the next 24 hours.
Request for new features:
Requests for new features are always welcome! However, I cannot promise anything about the actual arrival of these features.
Request your features via my support ticket system. This way you can keep track of the status of features.
Need help or got problems?
If you are stuck or need more information, don't hesitate and contact me via Telegram, XDA or my support ticket system. That way I can best help you.
Did I got your attention?

Thanks for the app.
I've enabled Ambient Display module. When I receive a notification, screen wakes up showing the stock lockscreen and after a second lag, the Ambient Display shows up.
Using on Moto g4 play with Pixel Experience ROM 9.0

I enabled it too on my pixel 2 xl and disabled the built in ambient display but when i get a notification there's also a 1 sec lag and shows my stock and then the actual ambient display you have made :/ thanks for working on a fix

Root not required.
Always on display
this app is awesome! i turned on Ambient Display on my Pixel 3xl; is there any way i can have always on display with the new customized display? Right now, i only see it whenever i get a notification.
Nice app OP. Is there network speed indicator that show download and upload speed in notification in future? Mine using mia1 stock rom, if this app can achieve that i would be happier coz no need to use edexposed anymore
When I remapped assistant, it broke calling up the Google Assistant
When I remapped Google Assistant, it broke it. Google Assistant can no longer be summoned by my voice. Is this a bug? Pixel 3 Android 10.
Nice idea! For now just testing ambient display.
Would you consider adding the option to unlink ring and notification volumes? Linked behaviour is very annoying.
Thanks again for you work!
I'm trying out Ambient display on my tablet and I'm not sure I'm using it right. It's enabled, and I've customized it, but the ambient display doesn't turn on my screen when I get a notification. Is it also possible for me to make the ambient display show when I open the cover of my tablet (my case is one of those kinds that have a flap to cover to the front).
Like the app lots - do you think adding an always on to the ambient display might be a good idea for anyone with an amoled screen but no native option?
Like oneplus owners?
Like me... ?
Hello
First of all thank this application.It is essential for me.
I've enabled Ambient Display module. I need when I'm studying to get notifications on the lock screen and see a header of them.
Now when a notification arrives there is a small lag when you press on the screen to enter.
It would be great to be able to configure the time that these notifications are on the screen, as well as the position in the same and the amount of notifications that one needs.
Best regards and thanks again!
Reporting after a couple of days of testing.
Just used the ambient display and it looks fantastic.
Works everytime too.
Apart from the lag that others have noted, i noticed 2 other issues:
a) when this is enabled, screen dimming & screen off seems to be forced. I've noticed the default time reverting to 15 seconds. Even if there is activity on the screen, it still forces the screen dimming and turning off.
b) there seems to be a noticeable increase in battery drain.
If I uninstall the app will it uninstall all modules right then?

I've also noticed screen off time reverting to 15 seconds. Is Ambient Display working fine?
Using the Cloud Dashboard and I noticed Microsoft's "Your Phone" application which connects my Windows computer with my phone no longer connects. Does the Cloud Dashboard preempt this connection? Both applications show my phone's (Pro 7) notifications. Your Phone also gives easy access to photos, allows for SMS messaging from a Windows computer and, with the next Windows feature update, will allow for calling from a computer via a phone. I'd like to keep both application up and running.

The display of ambient display works well. The lag issue that others have mentioned, exists. Due to ambient display however, i see some quirks with forced screen locking etc
