Hi guys! Here’s Co & Do’s APP Recommendation Channel!
We are all fans of Android and are thrilled about variety of productive, funny and easy-to-use apps, no doubt (this curiosity is our secret of making such a great app like AirDroid, to be honest).
Remember the classic scenes of Professor X reading the mind of others in X-Men? It’s pretty cool. But we know that’s not real. How about apps that can read your mind? That’d be much much cooler! Co & Do’s Channel this week is gonna recommend you such an app that will “read” your mind: Gravity Screen - On/Off by Plexnor.

Unlike other apps, you’ll be greeted by a row of settings instead of icons when you open this app:
Seemingly complicated? Nope! You’ll find this app quite simple when you continue.
How It Works:
Gravity Screen *On/Off determines whether to turn on or off your phone’s screen by using gravity sensor and proximity sensor of your phone. It is also based on screen orientation and motion detection.
To be more specific, the phone’s screen will be turned on automatically when it detects that you’re holding the phone. Any small movements of the phone will turn on the screen, too. If the phone has been placed onto a table downward or been put into the pocket, the screen will be turned off. See how the magic performs with the following video:
If you leave all settings of this app as default but find it doesn’t work properly on your phone, you may try increase/decrease the angles at which the screen will be turned on/off or modify the sensors’ sensitivity level. Customized settings usually perform better than default ones:
Generally, this app works well on my phone most of the time. But according to the developer, the accuracy of this app varies from one phone to another, which mainly depends on the preciseness and accuracy of your phone’s sensors. It is recommended to do some tests before you start using this app.
One thing that may bother you is the battery. Personally, I don’t experience serious battery drain issue with this app. One tip for saving battery: place your phone face down when you don’t use it.
Feel excited about this app? Does anyone think about installing this app on the phone with a broken power button? I did. I was thrilled when I found this app at first, thinking that I can use my Nexus 4 normally though the power button is broken. But then Dora reminds me, “Hey, so you need to make sure that your phone’s battery will never die.” That’s indeed true. But it doesn’t really matter. Not all of you suffer the same pain as me. Anyway, just give it a shot. And don’t forget to share with those whose power button is broken, may be a lifesaver
Gravity Screen - On/Off is available on Google Play for free. It also provides a pro version which will cost you $1.97.

Cheer's mate
works nicely. i like the fact you can rotate the bezel to alter the brightness.
Cool, it even allows full power, and apparently without limit, suggesting the LEDs can actually handle that... that's damn bright.
Now it would be even better if it didn't do that stupid animation everytime it's launched.
Thanks for sharing!
OK, just for fun, LED current draw:
Step 1: 32mA
Step 2: 107mA
Step 3: 530mA, thats 2W of LED. Mighty. I can light my whole flat with that. LOL
Nice.
Many thanks for sharing
Great app!!! is there a way to start it without the intro..?
http://pocketnow.com/software-1/new-htc-flashlight-app-for-hd2-available
Would it be possible, a recruitment Create menu where you can disable the 3 mode?
Thanks for sharing.
This is a very nice app.
I agree with other users, that it would be even better if it would start without the animation.
Any chace to achieve that?
All the Flashlight interface is done through GIO1: by HTCFlashlightLib.dll, which exports the functions EnableFlashLight and SetFlashLightDegree (though I haven't figured out their parameters yet).
Control codes for DeviceIOControl are 0x220C10, 0x220C04, 0x220C00, the last two are excessively used throughout the ASM. It also imports some clock stuff from MSM_CLK.dll - is it possible this one controls stuff like the CPU freq?
Thanks for the effort, and it looks nice, but it's useless due to the startup animation.
I have TorchButton in quicklinks, I just tap and it's instantly on. This thing takes a full 2-3 seconds which is kind of annoying, though I'm sure someone can fix it.
Edit: Also, this is 1.2MB larger than TorchButton... just saying, I wouldn't care if it didn't have animation at the start.
Thanks for sharing! Loving every detail
Decrease power of flash in photocamera
Can someone write to me the key of register to decrease the power of the flash when the camera is used?
cheers mate nice app
+1
It's nice but the start up animation is a bit of a bind.
My other TorchLight program starts up instantly just like a flashlight should
do you have the rest of the dump of the rom it came from?
This is a briiliant app but sadly as soon as I installed it my HD2 went all squirrley. My phone started to hang and booted slowly, when I got it to finally load using the slide to unlock the phone caused the screen to go black...
I like this just not sure why it did this...
In the end I uninstalled it and all is okay again...
Scott
ok. i know this is for htc devices but i put i on my lg expo. and it works as in it turns on and off the led but it turn on the front message led not the back camera led. does anyone know where the key/value that controls the led might be
thx
Power Switch
Power Switch is a tool for devices with cases - somewhat like the SmartCover, it will turn off the screen when you shut the case. If you have a device with poor battery life, Power Switch can save tons of juice by switching it off entirely after a given amount of time asleep.
Features:
- Sleep seconds after shutting case
- Automatic shutdown
- Set up a schedule using Night Mode
- Configure sensor sensitivity
- Facedown to turn screen off
- Persistent notification
- Uses almost no power
The app has gone through an extensive testing process here at XDA under another name. Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen, you're the best!
However, this testing showed that some features of that app were not all that useful, and some were conspicuously absent. To save both you and us a lot of grief, we made the second-generation Killswitch.
If you have any comments or suggestions, please use this thread. I daresay Im known as a kindly developer always open to suggestions.

Thanks, another great one from you guys!
Use the "thanks" button
By the way, would it be possible to add full scheduling like in Root Call Blocker?
I guess it would, but why? Surely the light level doesnt change with the day of the week...
I would like it to turn my tablet off entirely on some days for example, when im working night shift.
Is it difficult?
No, its not difficult. Ill look into it but cant promise when. I dont expect this would be a feature many people need im afraid.
Updated with some tweaks to the dead sleep feature and awesome new icons!
I wish I could buy this app. Can't live with the timers and settings of the trial version. Why can't google accept anything other than stupid credit cards?
You can always just make a virtual credit card! Its so easy a child could do it. Just look online for an operator in your area!

My girlfriend allowed me to use hers Now I'm a happy customer. And one of the first as well, it seems
EDIT: Is it possible to inrease upper limit of the auto-shutdown timer? My Nook Color sleeps very efficiently, so the current maximum of 6h does not help much. It would probably only be triggered over night, which would mean that I will almost certainly be using it again within ~3h after it shut down. (Using my tablet is usually the first and last thing I do in a day). Booting the device up again would probably use more battery than those 3h have saved.
Setting it to something between 12h and 2 days would most probably ensure that I do not or cannot use my device at the time anyway, so it's safe to shut down
Consider it done. The feature was mostly for low quality tablets with bad sleep regulation, but if you find it useful, why not?
This is a most awesome app!
Thanks! Please leave a review or suggestions at the market!
Guys, I'd really like to hear some suggestions on how to make this app better, more useful.
Guys... it would be really helpful.
In any case, an update is on its way. No real new features because noone seems to want any!
Power switch and Killswitch the same?
Is the killswitch app you made the same as power switch? I bought killswitch when it came out and was wondering what happened to the updates in that app.
No, Killswitch has been discontinued. Power Switch has some, but not all the same functionality. It also has new features.
Any news on that update? I'd really love to have that extended timeout.
I dunno about other features, though. I promise to let you know when I come up with something
Salam(Hi) all,
Android is a powerful OS because of its wide variety of apps, games, customizations...etc but sometimes it's hard to find the unique app/function you exactly want without trying tons of apps and digging into deep settings of each app trying to find your workaround.
In this thread I'll be glad to share some of very simple and useful apps that works perfectly on our Atrix 2 :angel:
1. Disable Service "Root"

}
as name suggest it's a tiny app (only 500KB) that can disable running apps services (and even system app services) it's very useful for disabling Google Services (privacy concern) and you can disable specific app service as example the popular music player PowerAMP has 2 services which runs forever "updatewidgetservice" that update widget will be always on even if you don't have the PowerAMP widget on your screen! and "headsetpluggedservice" (service that waits for your headset to be plugged to run a song) it will be always on even if you have disabled the headset option! so you can simply by one click disable them.
Also it works as a monitoring service app, so you can see what's the normal (running apps) option in settings can't show.
Works perfectly in Kitkat.
2. Internet Speed Meter Lite
Another tiny yet powerful app that display a small icon showing real time internet traffic speed plus having a schedule of everyday data usage consumption for both WiFi and 3G/4G traffic.
3. Lock Screen
The Most Important app for our A2 (as the power button in A2 is very soft), it's only 20k and simply add an icon to your home screen that (when pressed) lock the screen instead of pressing the trickle power button.
4. Timed Toggles (Auto Airplane)
The next big thing, Timed Toggles (only 130KB) can save a lot of battery by enabling (Airplane) mode on a set of times as example you can set it to turn on airplane mode at midnight every day, also it provides the same functionality for enabling/disabling WiFi, Bluetooth, vibration, sounds, brightness...etc
5. DroidEdit (free code editor)
A must have code viewer/editor with syntax highlighting for (C, C++, C#, Java, HTML, CSS, Javascript, Python, Ruby, Lua, LaTeX, SQL)!
it provides an excellent on the go code reviewing with the ability for undo/redo,search &replace...etc
More small and useful apps will be added soon and it would be nice to share your app suggestions too :highfive:
Note that all apps are totally Free with No ads,fees,subscription...etc
What are your opinions and experiences using these two apps for customizing the squeeze gesture?
In what ways do you find one better/worse than the other?
I've never used button mapper, but I use Edge Sense plus.
I like the ability to set controls for each app (and I haven't even programmed many at all). All my apps are set to activate google assistant with the exception of the camera. If the camera is open, the squeeze gesture is set to take a picture. This allows me to take pictures one handed very easily. No more finger gymnastics trying to hold the phone while trying to press the on-screen shutter button. I don't need to use it that often, but when I do it is really handy to have.
I honestly can't think of any other gestures that would be important on a per app basis, but at least I can set it when I do think of a need.

ok im not gonna lie. squeeze to take a camera sounds pretty ****ing amazing. i end up having to do the "finger gymnastics" fairly often and boy is it annoying. some times i call my wife over to hit the shutter button. i may actually use that mod now lol
pics like this are a ***** to take when you are trying to hold the camera and the light source

I use active edge set to turn on the flashlight. It's really handy and fast for me around my studio and shop.
The in camera app shutter trigger sounds like a great idea. However, camera shake is the leading cause of non sharp photos. Especially in low light with longer shutter speeds. But I'll try it and see how it goes. ??
This post alerted me to ButtonMapper and I've given it a try. I think it's great. It allows you to set volume long press actions without root. I use this for turning on my flashlight.

Hello guys, I'm happy to introduce you the new version about Extinguish 0.1.15... Although I want like that, but it seems that it's not so attracting when I release my Extinguish 0.1.5 here last time. I know the process is necessary for any app and it may causes by my description and the function of my app. But I still want some feedback. Placement is so lonely, right? Ok, go back to the app itself.
I sincerely introduce to you Extinguish, which is an app to let you control your screen power state for free. You may not understand just by saying that. Specifically, you can turn off your android device's screen but not put the system into sleep or lock, and the foreground application you are running now will not be suspended because the screen is off.
Why I use Extinguish?
You may be want to ask, "What's the point of that?" Now, let me show you what it can be used for.
Case 1: If you are playing a game like Arknights, you are required to play a mission for multiple times because of the materials. In this case, you don't need to actually operate the screen when you are waiting the mission complete. You can now use Extinguish to turn off your screen, and you don't have to worry about the screen consuming power during this time.
Case 2: If you are noting on your tablet when you are in class, and your tablet is set the lock password, you can use extinguish to turn your screen off temporarily without worrying and you can go back to your note by just one volume key clicking.
In addition, Extinguish's goal is to help you save electricity in these work forcing you to turn on the screen. This can reduce your power anxiety to a great extent. REAL. Because the screen almost take away your 30% battery life in your daily use.
How to install Extinguish?You can install it from Google Play
Extinguish - Apps on Google Play
Extinguish turn your screen off but keep your device wake.
play.google.com
, or you can also get it in github release
Releases · Moderpach/Extinguish_package
Extinguish Release. Contribute to Moderpach/Extinguish_package development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
.
How to make Extinguish run?If you are rooted, it's quite simple. Just install and start shizuku by root. Then authorize all permissions and just enjoy.
If you are not root, this can be slightly tedious. You are required to start Shizuku according to https://shizuku.rikka.app/guide/setup/. You can complete all of these without computer if you are above android 11. While you have to connect to a computer if you are under android 10 once when you reboot. After that, go the normal route, give the permissions and enjoy.
Extinguish is still developing. I will introduce new features such as timer in the future. And to be honest, I set a ad from admob in it to earn a bit money to have a meal. I thank you for your understanding and support.

If it actually turns off the screen, rather than blanking, then there is an interesting battery-saving option.
Is the touch layer also disabled?
What interaction will password locking by the system service cause?

For most of the devices, the touch layer will be disabled. The system won't go lock so you don't need to input password if you turn on your screen by clicking volume button. if you turn on your screen just by clicking power button twice, password will be needed. It's not a layer, it actually turn off the screen.
