Hi, there!
You can use the application Screen Filter, you don't need to modify any system file nor have root access in your phone.
Here's the direct link to Google Play page: Screen Filter
Hope it helps you.

Thank you! Sorry for having missed, and where to ask next time. As for the application, you may spend battery? I had it installed a while and noticed that I was spending more battery than the minimum brightness (which is very high for me)

You can do this, but it is just for autobrightness. And DO NOT USE THOSE FILES UNLESS YOU ARE ON FULL STOCK, it is not for CM based.

Well, since the application will have to run on background the battery consumption will increase. Personally, I don't use this app 24/7, just use at night some time before sleep.

Good Morning - free app !

Hello!
We (3 Microsoft Student Partners) created a free (yes, free!) WP 7.5 application, Good Morning.
Here is the description:
"Good Morning is an alarm clock using your personal musics. Browse your favorite tracks, choose one and let it act as an alarm.
Coming up:
- Enable multiple alarms
- Create a playlist as an alarm clock"
Here is the link: windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/a3144459-4a33-4aab-b81f-ff030ee92281
We currently released the V1 of the app. If you have some ideas for another version, or if you saw some problems with the app, your feedback is welcomed!
Pierre
Hello Guys!
We have updated the app:
Changelog:
-pictures are not pixelized
-possibility to add a reminder when the alarm is active
-the alarm can be started from any slide of the app.
As usual, your feedbacks are welcomed !
Good app, works perfect on HD2 with the latest build of WP7.5
Thanks! I'm not sure if you all are open to suggestions, but I would kill for an alarm clock that could use a podcast, audio or video, as an alarm clock. For example, I'd love to wake up to the latest edition of the "Wall Street Journal This Morning" podcast!
Great App! I'm testing it & i love the UI (clean & metro).
Hope we'll see next version soon.
EDIT: Could you make this App works in background? Will be better.

Unfortunately, no. There is no way to do that with the current APIs.

Sorry, you can't. What is your country ?
Hello! Our latest update has been accepted, and you'll be able to download it in the next hours.
Here are the modifications:
v1.2 :
- "Shake to snooze": delay the alarm during 5 minutes
- settings page added
- start/pause button deleted (for managing the music)
- pin an alarm on the phone's home page
- icons of the application use the phone's accent color

I know you guys are Student dev's and congrats on your App but I am here to let you know you can actually run your app as a background process. You need to create a separate program in general and add it in to your current project as now your app has 2 projects.
Yes, you could turn the other project in to a control but I don't recommend it as this way you can edit better and no need to re-compile out of project.
With your second project, it runs in the background allowing the other project to be the "brain". If you add a reference to your main app, you can do quite a bit in your bg app, for example... Have it detect the time and than send the function of an alert someone sent...
It's the same idea as if you were going to do TOAST/LIVE Tile updates.
Hope my 2 cents didn't offend you, just trying to help you .
Thanks,
Lance

Hi lseidman,
Thanks for your feedback.
You're right, I can add another project to my solution to implement a background agent.
Unfortunately, afaik :
1/ The player uses the Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Media namespace, which can't be referenced from a Task Agent project.
2/ Tasks are handled by the system. We can't defined the scheduled interval. As mentioned on msdn [I can't post any outside link - sorry] a periodic task can run every 10mn at least.
I don't know every APIs and I may be wrong, but I don't think what you described is a solution. Please let me know if i'm wrong.
Thanks again for helping me make this app better !

1).
Have you tried using using System.Windows.Media and doing something like (in XAML):
<MediaElement x:Name="mediaControl" Source="soundfile.mp3/wma" AutoPlay="False" Width="0" Height="0" Margin="240,60" />
* Note the 0's so it's hidden.
** You can replace source's defined file location (assuming your not copying the file they select to local storage, renaming and defining it as one specific item name) to Source="{Binding filetoplay}".
Obviously when using binding your going to need to have something to bind to it (even if you did a "public string itemname {get; set;}" in a class).
Which you could always use IsolatedStorage like I said above in which you could do:
using (isolatedStorageFileStream)
{
SaveFile(e.Result, isolatedStorageFileStream);
//error is null function, go and do:
media.SetSource(isolatedStorageFileStream);
}
* Just know other steps are needed before you even get to that point but just an example. This is obviously where you previously grabbed the file, "created" it, saved it and set for playback (hence the .SetSource).
Then for playback wherever you needed it, you just throw: mediaControl.Play();.
Again, just an idea to get around XNA. It won't be simple if you're not familiar with IsolatedStorage and other aspects around it but you can get away from XNA.
2). Take a look at these, maybe they'll help you...
ScheduledNotification Class
Alarm Class
Reminder Class
Also check out the other items around the PeriodicTask.
Either way, good luck and best of luck with future development!
Thanks,
Lance

TIME_TICK wakelock problem

Hi all,
I have one strange and annoying battery drain - or at least it triggers huge amount of raw alarms. I'm talking about this: "Intent: android.intent.action.TIME_TICK"
Current status after 10h is in the attachment. Any ideas?

1. do you happen to use "Animated Analog Clock" widget - afair it does generate time_ticks, but should not affect battery drain
2. wouldn't BetterBatteryStats thread be a better place to ask for help?
Thank you for replaying.
So, i don't have this app. I have "ClockQ", but it was/is working like a charm. I did check for auto update settings, but non are present.
I've also examine a Wireshark log and the best i could get was some prompts to "CDNetwork" company, as the prompts were matching the number of alarms.
About you second suggestion - i did write, but never got an answer at all.

Try using a screen recording app to capture what you're experiencing & post it here.
Otherwise,you're not giving the membership here much to go on to aid you in troubleshooting the issue.
A bit more info on which 3rd party apps you have that may be the culprit would be helpful as well.
Or,you can probably figure it out on your own by using Safe Mode:
https://www.hardreset.info/devices/samsung/samsung-galaxy-note-9/safe-mode/
Once in Safe Mode,the phone is running only the factory-installed apps.
One by one,start using the other apps you've loaded up until you see the issue arise again. & you'll have the culprit.
Thank you. How to attach a gif here?

You could upload the .gif to any number of places (You-Tube,Imgur/etc.....)& post the link to it,but,since you're a new member,I think you have to have a minimum amount of posts before that is enabled.
IDK what the threshold is,but,in the meantime,try using the safe mode method I posted.
it's a sure-fire way to troubleshoot,if not a long process,depending on how many user-installed apps you need to re-enable before the problem arises again.
Please keep us posted on your results & WELCOME TO XDA-DEVELOPERS! :good:

Reduced access when pattern unlock

Dear XDA members!
I'd like to ask if it possibble to reduce the apps can be used when the phone is unlocked by pattern, and everything is normal when unlocked with fingerprint?
My phone have to be used by an other person (my assistant - she give appointments,etc), and I don't like her to see my fb,viber messages,etc.
So my goal is to reduce the apps when she uses my phone. I have a Pixel 5.
What do you think, is it possible?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Best regards
Tamás

Why don't you use profiles on your phone?? In settings you can set it up many profiles I think...at least on LOS Rom you can. Mybee some xposed or magisk module can done that on pixel. I think it's really hard if even possible, to do this in tasker...
Maybe I'm wrong, idk.
Good luck and stay safe!

Question Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro delayed notifications after Enhanced update

Hey guys, as the title says...I have a Mi 11 Pro, CN version. All fine until the MIUI 12.5 Enhanced update yesterday. Notifications only go through when I unlock the phone, like it used to be on some Huawei phones some time ago. No matter what battery saving change I make, no restrictions, etc, it is the same. If I dont unlock the phone for 30 minutes, I dont get any notification: no Wtp, no Gmail, no FB messenger. Only when I unlock, or at least turn on the screen. Very disappointed... Any idea?
The update has battery saving features in oder to save on battery. that means it shuts down many apps that run in the background. You need to turn off the battery optimizations features and give your apps permission to run in the background.
i have this problem too after the udated... my whatsapp notfication has been delayed.
even in whatsapp desktop.. keep showing the yellow banner.. saying phone has DC etc.

China rom wasn't designed to work with Gmail or any other Google services. You can always expect there to be problems with the China rom and western software working together.

Yes it wasnt ,but on the otherr hand , the core is there, unlike Huawei. Everything works on it actually, except for android auto. And again actually ), the second time worked and notifications go through after disabling the battery restrictions.

Hey man, it is classic: I long press the app, then choose App Info, Battery Saver and choose No restrictions. No other action. But I have to tell you: it worked last evening, now in the morning the email again did not come through. Did not get any Wtp messages yet to verify that too. It is starting to annoy me and will most probably go for an oppo or smth instead.
