[Q] Looking for an app "screendimmer"

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

It'd be great if this was available for Android too. :laugh:
Posting in app development forum will get better results maybe?

Thanks. However, both apps do not meet my needs. They just provide the ability to adjust the screen brightness.

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.

Wouldn't enabling Power-Saving Mode make it lag more?

Nope!!!

Trelivision said:
It would make it lag, tap on Power-Saving Mode in the Settings Option. (Don't enable it, just tap it). It limits the CPU and if you tap 'Learn More About Power Saving Mode. It says it reduces the frame-rate of the screen. That means lag
See the SS.

Bro enable power saving and remove the tick from limit cpu usage only tick on sceen power saving...that will not make device lag
Always press the thanks button if helped

It also reduces the screen frame-rate though, and there isn't a setting to control that.

It already said that, it'll not affect on normal usage..
Then why so serious???

Enabling Power Saving mode increases lag, see the help section,, it has two sections : Limiting CPU usage to full and other one is lower FPS both will increase lag.
If you wanna move thread to Android Development PM any mod to do so.

Ahhhh!! xDDD It was strange for me that with a high quality sd I was only able to use 512 as cache. Ty for you post

Other tips on battery saving and performance
1.Use another launcher. Touchwiz Home is quite laggy and uses alot of resources. Select a new default launcher and freeze Touchwiz using link2sd
(search for it in play store, it requires root)
2. Using link2sd, also freeze weather daemon and widget and yahoo news and widget. You can also freeze the native music player as it also uses alot of resources and use poweramp (for example) instead.
3. Uninstall useless, unused apps. This will save you memory and make your device faster.
4. Wipe Dalvik Cache. Every now and then, whipe your dalvik cache.

ok I see, I noticed when leaving an app it locks it immediately, would be good if you could add time before app locks again, then we can set a custom value for example 30 seconds...

yes this feature is on the top of the list.

Great app, (and I'm not criticizing at all) but if the phone is locked via fingerprint anyway, why is this necessary? Purely curious

Free Version - Link
Pro Version - Link
Now you can lock your mobile apps using your fingerprint.
• No Peaking in recent apps
• Fully optimized
• No battery Drain
Note :
• you must register your fingerprint in your device
[Settings]> [Security]> [Nexus Imprint]
• Turn On Accessibility Service , this app will not work without enabling it.
[Settings]>[Accessibility]> turn on > [App Locker : Service]
• Enable Device Admin to prevent unauthorized uninstall.
[Settings]> [Security]> [Device Administrators]> turn on > [App Locker]
Please let me know your thoughts and review.

Excellent app!

here it's use 58.44 MB version free 1.0.3

@mianharisali
Good work on this. A few things.
Somebody already mentioned the timeout after exiting an app.
What about the app icon on the screen where it asks for the fingerprint?

This is so you can choose specific apps to require your fingerprint to open. It's not necessary but is additional security some people can appreciate.
Let's say you let someone borrow your phone to make a call or look at a video. Then they get nosy and want to check out your text messages... Or maybe they want to be funny and open up Snapchat/Instagram and post something funny on your behalf. Having these apps locked will avoid all that.

Guys please check the update , its awesome

You can see the app contents in the recent apps menu and when you open an app, it will show the contents for a split second before the fingerprint scanner shows up. That screen also looks like something out of iOS, it doesn't look material and the arrows to go to the pin could lol better or say PIN so there's some sort of indication you can switch. Otherwise, it does as it says and works well. You should also add a option to disable based on WiFi network or location.

App not closing when lock screen

I only have allowed whatsapp, weather, and wunderlist app to run when screen is locked and i noticed for example when i run Instagram and i lock my screen the app still running for hours.....
The only way to close apps not allowed to run is to clean all apps under the "recent apps menu".
This does not happen in p9 lite for example, without need to clean the recent apps tab, when I turned off the screen all the apps not allowed closed completely
Is this a bug or its normal?

use greenify could be a wake lock

When you close an app, it's important to use the back button rather than the home button.

go developers settings and change background process to minimum might help you out to get less apps running into the background
but just for info . its healthy to keep apps running in background even if it taking ram it will stabilize your multitasking ! .

I'm having the same problem. It's a shame that so many members chimed in with no solution but instead tell you that having apps running in the background is best. The fact is, this is a feature that can be configured on the Honor 8 but it currently isn't working whereas it used to work. I don't want to keep apps like browser, games, moviepass, or apps that I don't care about notifications anyway such as Snapchat. All I want is to just lock my phone and have comfort knowing that all the apps I wanted closed will be closed.
So the question remains, has anyone found a solution for this? Is this just a problem with conflicting settings configurations? If you don't have a solution, please don't respond.

EMUI taking control of closing apps

Hey guys,
So just like the title says emui is closing apps especially audio related apps even though I've told to exempt those apps from battery optimization.
The apps specifically are:
Pandora
SoundCloud
Pocket Cast
I have factory reset the phone just to make sure I haven't done anything weird while exempting those application. They still get closed when I lock the screen.
Another thing to note, when the app closes it might sometimes (especially Pandora) relaunch itself and be fine with the screen off. Other times I have to go back in restart the app and then on screen lock it might work but there's no guarantees.
Just wondering if any of y'all have had this issue before and how did y'all go around fixing it.

I had also issue when I hearing songs in saavn app.
go to phone manager , there swipe left you will find lock screen cleanup there choose the app which you want to run even the screen is off:good:
