Brightness Manager ★ ROOT (v. 1.8.3) Разработано Xybyresoft |
*** Root required! ***
Are you disappointed with your phone's auto-brightness feature? Is the display always either too bright or too dim for you? If you have a rooted device with a light sensor, you can now customize the brightness levels to your preferences!
Brightness Manager runs in the background as a service. It monitors the current light level and adjusts the screen brightness according to your preferences. It is similar to the built-in auto-brightness feature, except the brightness levels are customizable!
Is your screen too bright even at its lowest setting? Brightness Manager can dim the screen beyond the minimum screen brightness! It does this by creating a translucent full-screen overlay. By adjusting the overlay's opacity, the screen can be dimmed all the way to total darkness (don't worry, there is a configurable minimum value to prevent this)! If your device has an AMOLED display, the overlay will further reduce battery usage!
Brightness Manager can also disable the screen timeout while charging. Once power is disconnected, the original timeout will be restored. This is better than the "Stay awake" development option, since the screen will no longer dim.
Using Brightness Manager is simple. Whenever the display is too bright or too dim, just open Brightness Manager and drag the slider bar to the desired brightness. Brightness Manager will remember the setting you chose for the current lighting condition.
If you haven't set up a specific brightness level for the current lighting condition, then Brightness Manager will guess the desired brightness level by interpolating the preferences you set for darker and brighter lighting conditions. There are even preferences you can set to control the dim and bright speeds, as well as when to allow the screen to dim.
You can create shortcuts on your home screen to enable Manual Override mode, where you can specify a specific brightness level to maintain. These allow you to have quick access to specific brightness levels, for times when you want to maintain a constant brightness.
Please notify me if your device is not supported. I will work with you to get it working!
If you have having issues with high battery usage (or any other problems), please let me know, so I can work with you to fix it!
Don't worry about the 15-minute refund window. Try it out for a few days, and if you're not happy, contact me for a full refund!

[2012-10-21] Nate: Eating through power It works for what I want it to do, but is tearing through the battery on my Epic 4G running CM9. |
|
[2012-09-25] Josef: Stopped working after a few days. |
|
[2012-08-03] Chris: Drains battery? Only been using for like three hours so I might be wrong. Gonna use it for another day or two then revise the rating accordingly. |

[2012-07-31] Josiah: Amazing! While I don't use this app for its intended purpose, I do use it to regain full brightness at and below 5% battery life on my Samsung Galaxy S3...I don't know if it's a Samsung thing, or an ICS thing, but prior to this app, I couldn't run full brightness at that low battery level. Thanks Phong! |

[2012-07-18] Blaz: GNex Liked it at first but then it keept showing up in the app list, anoying to say the least. |
|
[2012-07-15] Timothy: recommended to everyone this is an outstanding app for those who want auto brightness control; works perfectly! |
|
[2012-06-27] the 7/7/2012 : great support from the developer. you wont regret buying it . just the support he' s showing alone is worth the money already plus its a great app |
|
[2012-06-26] Ian: Amazing battery life increase I am getting upwards of 20% more battery life from this app once is properly configured. Galaxy note ICS |
|
[2012-05-30] Isaac: Great service I had a few troubles with this on my Nexus S with ics but this guy is doing his very best to work it out. Buying this app has been more like buy a custom programming service. He's even add some of my wishes! Thanks again Phong |
|
[2012-05-27] mike: Yes! Finally something that works with galaxy! |
|
[2012-05-02] Ian: Awesome! Best purchase yet. I have been unhappy with the default auto brightness settings on my Galaxy Nexus and went looking for a fix in the market. This app is that fix. It's super easy to use and allows me to automatically set the brightness super low in the pitch dark but have good visibility in dim situations. Additionally, I can crank it all the way up when outdoors. EDIT: Needed help troubleshooting an issue I was having and Phong was amazingly helpful and speedy in his email responses. Within minutes I had a new version emailed to me for testing. Now THAT'S how you support a product! |

[2012-03-23] Nexx: Excellent communication Developer has gone far and beyond and has implemented a darkness filter to latest version to allow users to lower brightness even further. Definitely a big plus for any SUPER AMOLED users! |

[2012-03-19] peter: Works perfect on Galaxy S2 This is best brightness manager. I try all managers in market , but this is the best. Perfect support from developer. |

[2012-03-16] Patrick: Works fantastic on HTC Amaze! I really love this app! The only thing I really wanted to see was an option to adjust the speed of the change from bright to dim and the reverse. I emailed Phong, the developer, and before I knew it, that suggestion was put into the latest update! That is truly Dev support!! This app really saves my battery. I've been able to go for 3 days now without having to charge with little use. It works much better than the "Auto" setting as you can adjust the brightness level independently for each type of lighting that you are in. It takes a bit of setting up but once you get it, it is amazing and very quick! |

[2012-02-04] Bayu M.: Good & functional in Atrix 4G. Developer support is excellent. |
|
[2012-01-19] John: Support for Droid 3? Didn't work on D3. |
|
[2011-12-29] Bruce: Works great... This is the only auto-brightness app i know for DROIDX that will set minimum to 2. Dev spent time with me to get it working;) |
|
[2011-12-08] Buyo: Perfect The must have app for every rooted phone. It saves me a lot of battery and runs very smoothly! Developer adapted it to my device within a few hours. |
