Hi there, back on Windows mobile there used to be an app where you could set the custom auto brightness levels for different environments e.g. you place the phone in a dark room and set how bright you'd like it and the same with outside on a sunny day. This way the user could define exactly how dark/bright the backlight would shine. I find the autobrightness currently ok, but would be great to customize it exactly how I like.
The app on Windows mobile was called Lumos. With it you can even select custom brightnesses per application, so have it displayin at a brighter level when using the Gallery looking at pics etc. Would be great if this could be ported or a similar app be developed here!

Strange that nobody made such an app! I loved Lumos!
Sounds like a great idea, that would definitely be something i'd be interested in having......
Just asked in the original thread if they could ever port it to our device. Hopefully either they can or a clever Android dev could create something similar!

Hope somebody makes that, someday! ;-)

Here in the north it's kinda dark over half of the year so you never need the full brightness anyway
Any news ? sounds like a good idea
CM7 includes this feature.

Nexusmod, but I think that recently got removed from the market. I also like aSpiritBomb and Pixel Zombies. Both of those are in the market, but kind of drain battery.

Found another one: Justpictures!
It's actually an image viewer (better than the default, in fact), but it also gives you a live wallpaper that cycles through select favorited pics. Probably doesn't drag down the system like other live wallpapers, too. Free, too.
Thunderstorm live by far my fav
pay app .99 worth every cent for me
Nevermind. I figured it out.
my fav is NexusKang live wallpaper 'found in the market.
I really like the Light Grid wallpaper. It isn't interactive, or move when you switch screens. It is really costomizable; different colors, different size blocks, etc.
Personally I like having seasonal wallpaper, and being able to change the colors frequently is a way to have consistency and variety together.

'Seeds of Life' is awesome, and goes great with Samsung's TouchJizz if you have any sense of humor. You can find it in the market, along with 'Aquarium Free', 'AndWobble2 Premium' (if you're creative), and 'Bokeh Rainbow'
I'm making Live wallpaper.If you have some animation and you would like it a live wallpaper Let me know.
Big thanks to Kangi26k for the Android Hands animation
To install copy it to your device, and install it just like any other apk.
I take no credit for the program to do this.
A nice HD shot of a total solar eclipse sort of fluxuating there would make a nice wallpaper.
Or (incoming geekout) a nice HD shot of a Stargate sitting there active.
A blinking Hal 9000 would be cool.

Not sure if it is floating around somewhere, but maybe a LWP of a background that is clear water (the entire screen), but then when you touch it, it makes a reverberation across the screen
Just like the water one that comes with the phone, but no leaves and no tree background, just clear water
Hi guys,
I know that the "screen filter" app exists,
but would anyone be willing to code an app that
basically inverts ALL colors (or white to a dark grey) on screen ?
I don't know if it's supported at all by the android APIs but perhaps someone has an idea how to do it
this would save HUGE AMOUNTS of energy when reading
e.g. PDF files with only text in them
or browsing on lots of sites with also only have a white background and (little) dark text
this is especially applicable to those devices using AMOLED displays such as the Samsung Galaxy S (I own one)
If you'd be willing to code it for the community - that would be great
if you'd need some donation - that will be OK, too
I'm sure others would join, too, since that app really would help to get a much longer battery runtime in those usage cases
Many thanks in advance
I'm not sure
but I think I found what I was looking for:
IDEAL Magnifier
nope - only for camera-input
it's getting close
anyone knows of an app that can invert the screen's content ?
otherwise it should be still correctly place in "development" subforum

getting the browser from cyanogenmod into ROMs also would be quite helpful

*bump*
seriously - no one has interest in this kind of app ?

I'm very interested in this thread. If only someone could shed some light on the topic. Also, would it be possible to port cyanogenmod browser to other roms?

@boarder.2k9, ickyboo:
I think the problem is - that this is quite a very interesting topic (much potential)
and perhaps devs also might be willing to do it
but they are hesitant because it's some more work than the usual "hey - this music app doesn't include these features - let's code a new one"
a bounty (called "donation" in the post above) might make it (especially the whole-screen invert app) much more attractive to code I believe
if that's possible from Android's side, that is
it might be the case that it'll only work with CyanogenMod due to some pretty deep changes to the system
I'm not really coding much - I'm more the kind of linux-distro kernel patchset guy so I have no clear idea what requirements might be needed for this "stunt"

Bump! As I just posted on the thread in the general Android forum, :
I very much want this, too! Not only would it be great for night time viewing and amoled power savings, but it would also provide some wear leveling/un-burn-in effects for the notification bar, keyboards, etc.! Say you use the inverted mode 50% of the time, it would completely counter burn-in from the other 50%.
Please, someone, do it and I'll pay handsomely. I'll pitch in $20 to a bounty, anyways.
It should be almost as easy as CyanogenMod's render effects or Chainfire 3D's night mode. If they can take each pixel's intended color, calculate that minus green and blue, and output the result, they should be able to take the color, calculate the inverse, and output that, instead. I'm not a programmer, though, so I may be off base.
I don't have a Galaxy S I9000, but I'm also looking for this. I don't know if Quick Invert is compatible with this device (it isn't with My Nexus S), but the developer shares some ideas for a more universal implementation here.

Unfortunately, CF.lumen doesn't work for me.
Maybe I will do that. But if I do, it'll require 2 things. Root and Xposed.

Check it in market its pretty cool but I think it's a bit buggy
I was on pulse news just browsing and came across it.
If you have problems, disable 2 screens from the browser leave google then enable again
I'm at work so I can't be very descriptive
GREAT!!! it works fine. Some bugs but this is the first version so its nice for a starting version.
I would prefer to have vertical split screen option like in windows 7 that you can have one screen in the left and the other one in the right

Hey guys,
I'm new over here because I just upgraded from my Xperia S to an Xperia T (dont ask haha) so hi .
basically the first thing I thought when using the phone was what a waste the buttons were as they took up quite a good part of the screen, and so despite being 0.3" bigger than the Xperia S this was not noticeable. I also hated the aspect ratio of the screen love a good 16:9
anyway after searching on here and around for ages I finally came across a simple solution that works very well
its this app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys
I bought the pro version and its def worth it, because this is such an amazing set up!
sorry if this is already well known on here, but thought I'd share anyway, oh and if you find you can't activate the buttons in the camera mode its because you have to swipe from the side (it thinks its landscape, same with full screen games)
Very nice, I love this
I like it too

Thanks, just had a play with it. but prefer the one I posted in this thread because you can customise much more like make the icons xperia and not google nexus style, also it hides the current on screen buttons without needing to do anything yourself so more simple for people.
also guys what I realised is its best to select 'spoof soft keys' otherwise apps will open without the more options button so you'll have no way to get into further settings etc.
