[APP] Simple Auto Brightness

Hi,
I was not satisfied with how Android system auto-brightness work. It just don't allow me, nor us to setup maximum screen brightness level for auto-brightness just like iOS did. This problem is really bugging me about my Nexus S battery usage which is bad because of screen is just too bright while i just need maybe just half of it since i spend most of days indoor.
Then i started to learn Android development (this is my first Android app) and here is my simple app to configure my Nexus S auto-brightness. Currently app feature are:
Save battery! Service implementation is really battery friendly (not even shown on Android battery stats)
Custom maximum screen brightness level (in %) (require modify system settings permission)
Custom screen brightness threshold to apply new brightness level (in %)
Allow to use smooth screen brightness level transition
Custom ambiance level pool interval (in seconds). But when screen is awake, brightness level is calculated as soon as possible
Auto-start service on boot completed (require run at startup permission)
Auto-start service when destroyed by Android OS because of system low memory
Display live current screen brightness level (in %)
Display live current light sensor levels (in lx)
FREE!

Known issues:
On my Nexus S (CyanogenMod 10.1 nightly) maximum light sensor value is 3.6 million (wow!). Each device could provide different sensor value and steps. Example, Nexus 4 Stock would provide 10.000 for maximum sensor value.
Currently using this and this as calculation method
Because of above issues, i still looking for best implementation to normalize light sensor values. Maybe anyone can help about this?
Download and try it from here
UPDATE
20120212 - Check if device has any Light Sensors

Hey! I like the idea of your app. However, I haven't found the issue of auto brightness being set at too high of a maximum value in my usage. What I have found is that auto brightness does not kick it down enough when in low light/dark situations. Are you planning on adding the feature of setting a minimum screen brightness level as well?

crashed when i start the service on my xperia active ics

Hi, sorry for my bad english, the issue is not the screen auto brightness being too high above Android maximum brightness setting (on manual brightness). But, its the same as the problem you described below

To tackle this problem, auto brightness setting is mimicking how iOS implementing its auto-brightness.
By configuring maximum brightness allowed to certain amount (by %). For example, in dim indoors (light sensor lux values ranging from 201 to 400), the default Android auto-brightness will be 30% to 40% (based on this formula, which is log10(lux)/5), then in this app, I configure maximum brightness to 50%, then screen brightness will be 50% of this Android default 30%-40%, which is 15% to 20%. Exactly how iOS device did with its screen auto-brightness.
About minimum screen brightness, it always will be 0%-3%. Android system use 0 to 255 brightness value. By configuring maximum brightness to 50% (it will be 127), then your device screen brightness will be half lower than standard Android auto-brightness. Since the most battery draining items is screen, by cutting its brightness to half or more, i think it will be longer my battery cycle, as i posted above.

Oops sorry for that, i did not test it on other device than my Nexus S with CM 10.1 yet, would you send me your logcat? This link will show you how to get logcat

i just updated apk with light sensor checking. i suspect Android could not find any light sensor on your device.
the service was trying to start, check if there is no any light sensor, since it found no light sensor, service is not registering screen on/off broadcast. then when service stopped, service try to un-register a never registered screen on/off broadcast resulting a Force Close/crash.
please try to update it. thanks

Just what I was looking for. Thanks!

[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.

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

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.

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.

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

About this app:
Refresh Rate Mods
Change default refresh rates
-Easily change the overall refresh rate settings of devices supporting multiple refresh rates.
-Set supported mid refresh rates as the maximum refresh rate limit for battery savings (e.g. 96hz instead of 120Hz).
-Quick settings shortcut
-tasker plugin support.
Motion smoothness mode switcher(Normal, Adaptive or High)***
-Apply adaptive mod on device that don't natively support adaptive mode [premium]
-Tasker plugin support.
Per-app refresh rate settings:
Set different refresh rate settings for every app either adaptive or fixed(stationary) [premium].
Motion smoothness on power saving mode (not working to all devices with OneUI4.**+, test first). ***
-GMH will apply a workaround to bypass 60Hz limitation on Power Saving Mode (PSM) on supported Samsung smartphones.
-Automatically apply workaround when PSM is enabled [premium]
Note: Stopped working (blocked by system) on S20 series updated to OneUI4.*.
Update: Google maps workaround implemented in v7.14.51
Update: OneUi5.0 completely fixed the bug on Google maps that allows the app bypass 60Hz limit. Check app for possible extra steps that are reportedly remains working
Screen-off Mods:
Force to Lowest Hz: Force the lowest refresh rate on screen-off or Always-On Display(AOD). This overrides Samsung's strange stock behavior which sets the refresh rate to the highest on screen off (update: it is now at 60hz since OneUI3.0) to improve standby power consumption a bit.
-Tasker plugin support
Auto apply power saving mode during screen-off (after ~ 10 secs)***
Auto disable Autosync***
Quick-doze mod
-Quickly enter doze mode during screen-off that can not be interrupted by motion [premium].***
-Tasker plugin support
Auto SENSORS OFF (experimental non-root workaround)
-Device sensors will automatically turn off while screen is off until the device is unlocked to help minimize battery-draining motion-triggered wakelocks while device is not being used.
-Tasker plug-in support
Others
Battery protection mod (Experimental)
-Option to set maximum charge to 86%-95%(for OneUI4+)[premium]
Quick resolution switcher
-Easily switch to any supported resolutions using the included quick setting tile***
-Tasker plugin support
Customizable refresh rate monitor
-Use statusbar or overlay which you can place anywhere on screen.
-Tasker plugin support.
Net speed statusbar indicator
OneUI inspired UI. Dynamic theme and Icon. Manual language selection
Note: The premium license is on a per device basis (not per user).
***these marked features require a one-time ADB procedure (this is not root)
Galaxy Max Hz background service is highly optimized. Background battery usage p is very negligible .
Info: This app targets older android sdk in order to control refresh rates without ADB setup or root. Just tap OK the dialog that says "This app was built for an older version of Android...." when opened for the first time. If OK button is not visible, just tap the blank space on the lowest portion of the dialog.

Hello @tribalfs ,
First, thanks for your work and thanks for the trial, while i don't mind paying for app i like, it's nice to be able to test everything before buying.
Everything seems to work fine on my Galaxy S20 FE 5G (android 11/One UI 3.1), so i will probably buy it after the trial.
One thing to note, though i guess it's due to how the power saving mode work, is that the Quick power-doze mod is not very AOD friendly. It tend to disable and reenable it everytime, and if the power saving mode is on when putting my phone on charge, the bixby routine i use to switch the AOD from "tap to show" to "always on" get stuck.

Works very well on the S20 Fe thank you.How will it be purchased after the 7-day trial period?

About the app
PixelParts began as a simple High Brightness Mode (HBM) tool. Since then, it has evolved to include a detailed battery information panel, a display saturation level adjuster, charging limiter and more. The app now offers a wide range of features, transitioning from its original function as an HBM tool to a hub for device tweaks and stats on customs, with a lot more planned going forward. The application needs to be included at build time, so this is a project for device maintainers from other ROMS to use if they'd like.

Including PixelParts in your AOSP build
1. Remove HbmSVManager
Commit 1/2 (vendor)
Commit 2/2 (device tree)
2. Clone PixelParts to packages/apps/PixelParts in your AOSP source tree
Run the following cmd at the root of your source tree:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/Evolution-X-Devices/packages_apps_PixelParts packages/apps/PixelParts
3. Include the app at build time
Commit 1/1 (device tree)
This includes the device.mk file from the PixelParts repository, which will add the PixelParts application, its initialization script (init.rc), and the necessary security policies (sepolicies) to your AOSP build during compilation.
Testing new changes
When testing new changes, it is much faster to compile the application standalone and update it manually rather than running a full AOSP build. Please note that some changes may require you to chmod 0666 sysfs nodes and set selinux to permissive. When compiling a full AOSP build, this is not needed assuming the init cmds and sepolicies have been properly configured.
Lunch your device and run the following cmd:
Code:
m PixelParts
This also assumes you are already running an AOSP build including PixelParts as a priv-app in /system_ext.

Thanks! this app helps so much!

Thanks. I guess it is not possible to use it on stock rom? Could not find a reason to test custom roms on this device tbh

Automatic HBM is someting I would like a lot Will be available on OP9 Pro also?

I've just checked the code and it seams to me that it could be improved in that way:
1) set HBM on immediatelly when lux > luxThreshold and hold it in time KEY_HBM_ENABLE_TIME + start timer to be sure that HBM goes off after the amount of time)
2) set HBM off when lux < luxThreshold or time KEY_HBM_ENABLE_TIME finished. Hold HBM off in the KEY_HBM_DISABLE_TIME (to release and cool a display)
This helps to protect the display - typical use case: I have turn-by-turn navigation on, the sun is shining so I want to switch HBM off after a while to protect my screen. It would be great if HBM can go off when temperature is high also (at least battery temperature, better phone temperature)

There are some major improvements coming to the HBM aspect of the app. One of them being the ability to define a temp threshold. The entire autohbm service is being rewritten, and it's preference and sub preferences will be relocated to their own fragment/activity soon.

That's great. Just my experience today with my OP9Pro. I was reading PDF file outside, on the sun, HBM off and event thought, battery temperature (other sensor is not present) shows 53 °C. I don't know what makes the hear - CPU or display, but it could be good if CPU frequency goes down for a while or display goes to lower brightness. Or 53 °C is OK, I don't know.

One more experience with heating - I've found that when I ride a motorbike, turn-by-turn navigation on, even if display is on low brithness the phone heats a lot and battery is not charged because of that. So some CPU throttling is needed

Most definitely not a result of the app.

Of course not, it's like an advice for the next feature ;-)

The problem with heat, overall, in my experience is related to one thing; the sun. If the phone is charging on my Dash and I'm in a position where the phone is in the sun, the heat goes up quickly. Otherwise, usage has never caused heat with this phone as it did with the P6P

Interesting. I've found that also - the sun. But the CPU is also the source of heat (because I ride after sunset). Anyway, I've found a solution - slow down the CPUs by Tasker.

Great app. Just curious, will adaptive charging work together with stop charging in pixel parts? (Assuming i set the stop charging at 100%) or it will disregard the adaptive charging and charge it to 100% and stop there
