[APP][2.3+][ROOT] App Override - Now on Playstore

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.

Superuser freaks out when I try to enable the CPU settings. It just loops over and over and denies it automatically. Otherwise very nicely done!

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!

[APP][2.3+] iPulse (connection manager)

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"
Here some screenshots as published also in the market:

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

Version 2.6.3 / 1.7.1 Pro just published!
Here the main changes based on your feedbacks:
Feature: added list of apps to monitor to keep connection active with screen off

Fix bug: timer rescheduled erroneously (when timer event is the sole event configured)
Updated Android support library
Enjoy!

[APP][ROOT] Brightness Tweak

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Brightness Tweak allows you to reduce your screen brightness below the android specified minimum. ​
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.

Works great CM13 Moto X pure! Great work!

This apps just awesome...

Thanks dev,, but shortcut not show at qs lineage os 6
But still working awesome

Download link please

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.

Short description
Volumee lets you skip tracks while listening to music - just hold down the volume button. Root is NOT required!
Features
Might be active both while the screen is on and off
Works correctly regardless of the application that is currently open
Compatible with all music apps (song will be skipped in the currently used player)
The main service of the app works in the background, responding to clicks on the volume buttons only while the music is playing. Otherwise volume buttons work as usual.
Road map
I'm planning to add following features to the app:
Add customizable actions on volume buttons long press (e.x. launch assistant/app, perform some routine)
Add visual feedback for user while performing action (using system alert window)
Excluded apps - possibility to disable service when opening specified app
Many more - if you have any idea just tell me :highfive:

Left a 5-star rating on the Play Store. Very good app.
MIUI shows a permanent notification with "Background activity" but maybe that's a MIUI thing...

Thanks @MirceaViP!
You can easily disable the permanent notification by disabling the "Foreground activity" notification channel
Take a look at the below video:

Yes, the app was tested on Samsung J7 2017 (Android 9.0) - it works good

Hmm, interesting. Do you have accessibility service enabled and notification access granted? Does It happen when screen is on, off or always?

I think i know the reason. I just wanted it when the screen is off.
When its set on "Always" everything works fine.
When its set on "Screen off" it makes the described problem. Possibly it causes the bug that the screen is not completly off due the in-screen fingerprint sensor

Thanks for describing the problem - I managed to reproduce the issue on my Xiaomi MI 8 (MIUI Global 11.0.6). The bug occurs when there's Always On Display enabled and the Acitivity Mode is set to "Screen off". I will take a look on logs and hopefully eliminate the problem in the next release

Update (v1.4)
Hi everyone!
New update has been released!
I managed to fix the bug related to "Always on Display" and other features that keep screen partially on (e.g. in-display fingerprint sensor).
I've just uploaded the new version to Play Store (v1.4). It will be available to download within a few hours.
@Wyecee - check it out, it should work properly now

Hey i tried it.
It's better now, but it is not perfect till now
When you change to the next song the volume deceases one step.
When you change to the previous song it increases one step.
After few songs the volume is on max or min depends on how often you change the song.
Thank you for the fast fix and support.
Maybe you can fix this too so that the volume doesn't change ?
And an English description and title in the play store could be better for the international users.

Thank you for post.

Update (v1.5)
Hi!
New update has been released to Play Store - it should be available right now (1.5)!
It should fix the bug related to unwanted volume level changing while skipping tracks on some phones.
@Wyecee - please check if the newest update fixed the problem with volume.

It seems like the Always on display bug is back on MIUI 12.
Skipping songs with the screen turned off only works when setting the Activity mode to Always.
A workaround I found is disabling the "Always-on display" (com.miui.aod) app with Titanium Backup,
but that obviously breaks AOD functionality.
Thanks for making this btw. It's very useful when it works.

Update (v1.9)
Hi!
New update has been released to Play Store - it should be available in a few hours (1.9)!

1.9 - added option to disable/change the strength vibration

@smgb66 - a lot things changed since 1.5 version, the whole mechanism that detects when music is active and whether the app should be active was replaced. You can give it a try

Thank you for app it is useful.

Heyy thanks for this app, it works great on One UI 3.0 with Android 11, just a thought is it worth exploring the implementation of this using the Native android.permission.SET_VOLUME_KEY_LONG_PRESS_LISTENER , instead of relying on Accessibility and Notification services it'd make the app leaner! There's another one that did this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-8-0-skip-track-by-volume-keys.3914337/
but it seems to be broken for a few months now, only working on Android 11 when the screen is on.
Thanks and keep up the awesome work, very slick and fun app!

tried this on my moto edge 20 fusion running android 11 stock rooted.
but it doesn't work while using the phone as a media player, and casting to a speaker. does anyone know of an app or method that will work for changing tracks while casting?
