[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

App Control 0.40 is Live! now with Sound Modes.

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!

Strange issue on superuser. My problem is that it is baked into the ROM.

Hello everyone ! Here we go for a small story :
Nowadays, your device has bluetooth, wifi, adaptive brightness and a lot of other settings. I was tired to switch between screens to enable or disable them one by one.
That's why I created μTask which automate this process. µTask allow you to create a task for each app which will be applied when you launch the app.
There is a bunch of possibilities :
- Brightness auto/manual
- Media volume default/manual
- Mobile data on/off
- Wifi on/off
- Bluetooth on/off
- GPS on/off (beta)
- Synchronization on/off
And if your device is rooted, you can enjoy more features (depending of your kernel) :
- CPU governor
- Maximum CPU frequency
- Minimum CPU frequency
- IO scheduler
- Read ahead buffer
- TCP congestion algorithm
- High audio performances on/off
- High wifi performances (wifi_pm) on/off
DOWNLOAD
For those who are unable to access the google play store, the apk is available in the download section
Keep in mind that it's still a BETA !​
TODO LIST​
Here are the features which needs to be implemented or the bugs to solve.
- Brightness default mode (fixed)
- Sync on/off (fixed)
- Reset parameters individually (fixed)
- Fix brightness bug (waiting for feedbacks)
- Data on/off bug (waiting for feedbacks)
- GPS background toggle (using root and secure settings) (investigating)
- GPS bug (investigating)
- Screen rotation (todo)
- Screen timeout (todo)
- Separate volume toggle (todo)
- Xposed system hook (todo)
- Event on jack plugged (todo)
- Event for battery (todo)
PREVIEW
THANKS​
- Omar S. Marcial Hernandez for spannish translations

Your thoughts ?

please add option to toggle GPS !
thank you for your hard work

Cool concept.. Lightweight at the moment... Adding screen rotation would be really useful.

Need option to wait for Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to settle before starting associated app.

I will take a look for your suggestion. But it could be difficult because a non-system app can not enable/disable the gps in background.
However, I can develop a parameter for the gps settings window opens when you launch the application. Does it seems correct for you ?

For the Motorola 2013 Droid, when you ask Touchless control to read the notifications, the volume is really low. But Touchless control is not a standalone app, it's embedded in the settings of the device. Will the "media volume on/off feature in this app help solve the problem?
Ps. I like the idea of this app, it sounds like Motorola's smart action!
Sent from my XT910 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Can you explain how this is different and not less functional than Tasker?

Suggestion: Select a language
I usually want my phone to be in English, but for one particular app, I would like to use a different language (G+ -> German). Do you think that's possible?

Would it be possible to make it hook to the device settings through Xposed, so that a service in the background isn't required for those who have it installed?

I just added an option to toggle the GPS (on/off). However, due to Android, non-system app are not allowed to toggle it in background. That's why when the user will open the app, the settings will open to toggle the gps.
For those who want details : http://stackoverflow.com/a/5481752
Moreover, I solved a big issue with mobile data switch.

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.

Does not work on cm11 Galaxy I9000!

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?

​This app allows you to use Chop Chop motion and Torch Quick Settings tile with Flash Light techniques that work with Android Oreo and other 64 Bit ROMs for Moto G4 Plus (athene).
The App uses native Chop Chop sensor so it should work with other Moto Phones that support Chop Chop motion too.
Moto Torch supports two camera modes: Camera API and Root mode
You will find that the root mode is much faster than the Camera API especially if you are using MagiskSU as I'm using topjohnwu's libsu
I developed this app as I did not want to have 2 apps(Godly Torch and Shake Flashlight) for a simple purpose of torch

Great job done thanks, Everyone was in very much need of it.

I have the error: the file can not be opened

Great work bro.. works great.. :good:

You have to keep app running in background all the time to use it anytime or else have to open app then chop chop and flash is on. Can you make it available even if i kick the app out from recent menu. Whenever i kick it out it stops(thats the msg i get always). But as it is a beta version i think you are gonna fix this soon:Cheers:

I've developed it such that it keeps running even if you remove it from the recents menu. Force Stopping it or greenifying it will definitely stop chop chop.
You could add the torch tile quick setting to your top 6 settings so everytime you pull down the notification shade the Service is automatically started.
If it still doesn't work for you, I'll have to add a persistent notification which I personally don't like.
All this because Oreo does not allow services to run indefinitely in the background without showing a notification.
What ROM are you using?

The only permissions it's requesting for is Camera Permissions and Root permissions. If you have root access it's better to give it root permissions or just ignore those toast messages

Really useful app, keep on the good work :good:

The camera API option doesn't work for my device running Resurrection Remix 6 latest build and rooted using latest Magisk. The root mode does work, but it's a bit buggy. It works for not more than a few seconds after which the light turns off automatically. I tried using both the app versions.

Thanks for this , good work:good:

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

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)!
Changelog:
1.9 - added option to disable/change the strength vibration
1.8 - fixed volume slider popup display timeout
1.7 - fixed compatibility with multiple players
- improved detecting music playing and active players
- displaying notification when any permission is missing
- added option to choose long click delay
@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?
