This is the easiest and coolest way to apply a screen shade to your phone screen !
Applies a shade that acts as a dimmer to ensure your eyes don't hurt, beyond lowest brightness settings. Great for low light gaming, web browsing, and eBook reading. Saves battery life for AMOLED displays!
Control the filter level with a customizable bar that can be accessed from any application you're in.
Allow to set individual settings for each application in part.
Set custom picture, tiles and more.

2 methods for turning off softkeys, if doesn't work on your device try the other one, and if both doesn't work please contact me.
Wow. I love the concept.
I didn't have a chance to check out the whole video (youtube was acting up), but does this have the ability to automatically dim the screen to a specified level based on what application I have open? For example, could I set it to automatically dim my screen to the lowest setting when I have my bank app open?
That would probably make this worthwhile.

Yes, you can set the level independently for each application, the color, the choice to show/hide the bar.

could you upload the vid with another soundtrack?
The trial version is expired. Could you update it?
Trial of what... ? Total Screen Filter doesn't have a trial version , only Total Screen Control
Sorry, I did mean Control, posted in a wrong thread.

I looked again and can't find it. There are only two other apps by you - Filter and Network Monitor. Unless it's not available for ICS devices.

The trial is published under a different account, just search in the market for "Total Screen Control" and you'll find also the trial version.
this is nice.,thanks ^_^ i will purchased this..
wow great idea, you are the best
Version 1.2 is out:
Added Tasker/Locale plugin !
thanks alot for posting, keep it up, you're doing great!
I just purchased the app. I like it, especially for the Tasker integration.
I was using the other 'Screen Filter' app for a while but it was
having full brightness flicker issues when I would have Tasker change
the filter % from one value to another. This was incredibly annoying.
I do have a MAJOR request though that I believe would help me truly
appreciate my purchase. The primary reason I use these filters is to
attempt to black out my AMOLED screen.....unfortunately, your Total
Screen Filter app maxes the filter at 94.12%. This is a huge problem
for me. Furthermore, your competitor (Screen Filter by haxor industry)
allows for dimming the screen even further then your app (they allow
for 2% filter....which is what you call 98% in your app....almost
pitch black).
I'm an optical engineer and work in extreme dark rooms alot. Sometimes NO VISIBLE LIGHT can be on in these rooms
while experiments are running...sometimes a very small amount is
acceptable.
So my DESPERATE plea for a feature request:
Allow for users to push the filter further beyond 94.12%....ideally a
full 100% black out. Because honestly, 94.12% is not enough at all for
my purposes. At least allow for a 98% filter so you can be equivalent
to your competitor's capabilities (which is a free app I might add).
I can understand your concerns with allowing this ability (people
unknowingly blacking out their screens). So maybe making it a
non-default ability would work perfectly. I use these filters with
Tasker and have it setup so I can easily remove the screen blackout
under particular conditions. Please help me out here. This ability
would really make me happy.

Hi, it will be implemented in the next version
Regards,

I'm a huge ebook reader and love to read on my phone. As a general rule I like to use the Google Apps if they do the job I need 'em for. Google Play Books has failed me though. (Queue the image of a guy in a hood speaking with a deep voice: You have failed your user!)
Okay, stupid reference aside, here's my biggest three areas where I find the app lacking:
1.) In-ability to NOT use immersive mode. I often will read on my lunch break at work. During this time, as well as other times, I really like to have the clock visible just by a quick glance at the top of the screen. Further, it's nice to be able to see new notifications coming in and read 'em without having to exit the app.
2.) Ability to tweak visual settings. I prefer to have a light grey background vs. white. And at night I prefer to have a slightly blue hue to the letters as this makes it less bright.
3. I'd love a quick and easy way to switch between night and day display modes. Right now it's a four tap processes. Right now it's a four-tap process to do this.
So yeah... these are all of course "first world problems" in that I could easily live without them. Alternately, I could just use Moon Reader+ (which I do right now) which solves all of these problems. But I do like the clean interface and easy of syncing/accessing my books through google, so the question:
Is there any modules that can handle any or all of these tweaks?
Hi everyone!
Tried searching for similar thread, but not found.
So let's share pictures and/or videos of your desktops, share info on what launcher you use, some useful hints, ideas with others.
Let me begin.
My setup is based on Lightning Launcher Extreme. I learned about it just recently.
It is probably the most customizable launcher ever: unlimited number of desktops, provides different kinds of items and containers, everything can be customized and the most I like in it: it is scriptable in JavaScript!
Here's a video of my head unit (it's a bit intermittent, sorry for that):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgL8oOJThV0
On this video:
- auto-hideable, sliding-out menu panel at the left, where I put frequently used apps to not occupy screen all the time;
- "now playing" text at bottom, made without any widgets, using built-in "Text" object with some JavaScript receiving info from Neutron Player (on video) and also capable to get data from PCRadio app;
- GPS speed (it shows as 0 all the time as the car was steady) and voltage that appeared after I turned the ignition ON - these are "Text" objects too, with script receiving data from Torque application, again, no 3-rd party widgets;
In general, I prefer contrast themes with dark background/white content, as it most visible on sunny days, this is quite important while driving a car.
For now, my imagination exhausted on a single desktop I just cannot think of why do I need another, what would I put there?
Hi dear members.
Long story short, i am fed up with the display setting that it's supposed to force fullscreen on selected apps but that does nothing 90% of the time at best. I also noticed that many people over here and reddit hoped that developpement would help bringing this to life with time.
I see that we couldn't find a sustainable solution for this, no modding, no rooting, no custom rom...
Only "app cloner" manages the result but doesn't work with many apps.
I wish we could have a developer option allowing the notch to be ignored system wide. Even if it means losing that circle portion of the display with app details being rendered behind the punch hole.
I bought into losing a small circle, not an entire portion of my screen. End result is that the screen panel is bigger than the galaxy s9 (or my previous lg v30) but in reality there is less usable screen space with this phone.
If we manage, all of our apps could take advantage of the entire screen. Too many apps are cut on top or on the side (landscape). Other 16/9 apps arend centered (fullscreen browser videos, many games, video editing software,... I always went "immersive mode" with all my previous devices but with the Galaxy s10, that's impossible except for (almost exclusively) the gallery app and YouTube.
TLDR : i wish we could get true immersive mode system wide if we wanted to.
I would like us to launch a petition that we would show Samsung via Twitter or something. English not being my native language, is also need help to write it's description in a concise way.
If enough people would mind being part of this, or helping for visibility (like push for a front page article on xda, share with the other s10, s10e, s10+, note 10 forums...) That would be great. Not only for our devices, as power users but also, for future buyers since the gs11 will most likely have the same notch as the note 10 series.
Many thanks in advance !!
note 10 plus fullscreen immersive
Thanks much for posting this. I'm up to as well to get this done. I have done the immersive on other Samsung phones, s9 plus, note 9. Believe it or not this was the main reason I went on to upgrade to the this phone with the main purpose of doing the ADB Commands and get it full immersive but little did I know this is not possible with the note 10 plus. it's a disgrace that Noone seems to care about this
What apps specifically don't work with full screen. Everything I use is full screen and if not I change the aspect ratio on the app settings and it works fine.

It is definitely possible.
Search for "notch" module in Magisk.
Install it and then go to Settings-Developer-Notch -> select last one, no cutout.
Now immersive mode will actually be full screen. Problem is, right padding needs adjusting, otherwise the status bar icons will sit underneath the camera.
-----
It's not like samsung dev hasn't thought about it. But they went in the end with the lesser devil, disable the whole notch bar.
The main problem being that apps will not know to go around the camera. Nor have dynamic paddings for icons and buttons.
So for example with immersive mode on (full screen, no black bar) on all apps. You will notice that almost every app has the three dotted button, icon in the corner, which will be hidden under the camera. Samsung QC will never officially allow this.
Perhaps that's why Note10, S20 and the others, have the camera in the middle. Using immersive mode, will not cover much important info, so we might see it in the future on those phones.
But as it stands, S10 (or any corner cutout phone) will not display apps correctly, hence there will never be an official fix.
-----
Pro tip: Instead of enabling system-wide immersive mode and get frustrated in some apps, I remember there was a paid app, granular immersive, or something. Which allow you to enable full screen only on some apps.
But Magisk notch module has to be installed in any case.

TL;DR!!!
LOL jk man
if anything is going to get this done, itll have to be a device-wide system update that will be a major PITA for Samsung. I personally believe that not having this option is a literal mistake and to correct it, theyll have to admit that it was a f**k up from the get go. Im betting that "GoodLock" is going to be our best bet to get this accomplished as it is allowed root access from Samsung and its written by Samsung, so it can allow this "personal preference" that they should have built in in the first place.
Id bug the goodlock folks. Its probably your only hope

Is possible to achieve it Now. Download system UI tuner. Connect phone to laptop and execute adb commands to hide the navigation bar. Disconnect phone, go to galaxy store, download Good Lock, then open up the app then download multistar . Open multistar go to the last option to stretch The screen over the camera hole. Chose options to all.... Now go to system UI tuner and select hide navigation bar.... that's all
Hi all,
I'm starting to give up hope on making the Edge Lighting work as a notification with AOD Always On (and not installing third-party apps).
I just want to go into Samsung's Edge Lighting Menu, select Google's Messages app, or Facebook Messenger, or Instagram, create a color, and have it work when the screen is off and AOD is on. Why is this so difficult?
Am I missing something? Why would Samsung create the Edge Lighting to work ONLY with their Messages app and not a single other app on the Play Store?
Does anyone know of a decent fix? I tried the Glimpse trick, but it only Edge Lights up one color (whatever is chosen for Glimpse), and the little popup at the top of the AOD is a Glimpse Icon, not the real notification (ex. "App Icon: Sender: Message Content"). I think this would work great, and very simply, as it's essentially just forcing a screen wake for selected apps, which is what Edge needs to work, apparently, but it's own popup bubble and Edge color is useless right now.
And I've tried the "Edge Lighting Fix For All Apps" App, but it's still pretty convoluted for setup and actually spells out each app in the notification popup (ex. "Instagram: Sender: Message Content") rather than the IG Icon and then the content. It's the best we've got right now, but it's still sad Samsung can't make this work by now (how many phones with edge screens have there been now?)
Anyone have other workarounds for this? Thanks in advance, it's driving me nuts.:silly:
I know you don't want to use a 3rd party app, but the aodNotify app will do just what you're looking for and it is developed from a user right here on XDA. It's got a low profile so battery life isn't affected much at all. You can get it on the play store. I highly recommend it as it doesn't look like Samsung is gonna do anything.

I've tried that, but it's using a knockoff version of edge light that looks like junk, to be blunt. Sammy's is smoother and I want that to be the Edge Light in use.
Also, no customizing app colors.
I use it with the Edge lighting plus app, it works well for me. Good luck on your quest!
not every app works with edge notif's, matter of fact, it seems that very few do. go to the galaxy store and download "good lock", it allows you to configure the edge notif's and its directly from samsung. Not third party. It also allows you to customize the s**t out of the statusbar, bottom icons etc etc. It gives root access to mods that no other app has access to
Apparently, my Edge Lighting on my S10 works for 2 of the 3 apps I selected: Whatsapp, Samsung Messages work fine, Samsung Email (v6.1.12) does not show Edge Lighting on my S10. I enables all notifications for Samsung Email, but not luck. Pretty annoying. Anyone experiencing this too?
