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

edit2:
getting the browser from cyanogenmod into ROMs also would be quite helpful

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

Yah, some1 should sort this out....
Bump, ouch my knee.

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.

If you use opera mobile (may work in other browsers) you can create a bookmarklet, try ''night mode'' here http://o.yeswap.com/

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.
Sent from my phone. Why would you need to know what device I have?
InkNotez allows you to easily and quickly take notes by hand. There are options like brush color and brush size that you can change, but it is still simple and easy to use. You can even change the background to anything in your pictures hub, or you can use one of the presets.
It's free in the marketplace, ad-supported. There is also a $.99 pro version with no ads. The free version has all of the features the pro version has.
To find InkNotez, search 'InkNotez' in the marketplace.
XDA-Developers won't let me post links yet, so marketplace links are coming soon.

I would love to download this app but it says that it is incompatible with my phone. Could you post an apk?

I have been working on Tricorder for a while now and I'm looking for feedback on this so I can improve the features and user experience. You can check out the free download in the Marketplace. Just search for Tricorder
Please try out the app and let me know what capabilities you would like to see in the future.

Great UI!
Can you create a SDK for this UI? Skin or something to other apps? Just a joke!
Ambient light level (from light sensor), camera picture (it's a sensor too, right?), turn led flash on or off, scan radio signals (FM radio I ment here) to communicate with Enterprise.
And in 2nd generation we will really need subspace frequency calculators which is a very handy while I calibrate my spaceship reactors.
And a log of course which is clickable and while you select it says "Captains log, Stardate ......"
Hey, you're a fan!
REgards,
Cina.
Not much of a star trek fan..huh ?
I'll check it out and give some feedback...
Hello,
That's a nice App. What i'm missing is a Metal Detector like the one in the Android App.
And i prefer a payed App so no ads destroy the good look of the Tricorder.
nice app
Dear All,
I am trying to find out best apps for my Xoom.
My personal suggestion is :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sports.rulesf&hl=en
I love the UI & Features, I want similar apps.
The UI should be 100% perfact & very user friendly app.
Post free or paid one, before posting make sure its worth...
