RootDim [root] (v. 1.58) Разработано Omega Centauri Software |
RootDim was formerly known as SuperDim. RootDim requires root privileges on your device. For unrooted devices, as well as for some devices incompatible with RootDim, try our <a href="https://market.android.com/search?q=screendim+omega+centauri">ScreenDim</a>.
RootDim lets you dim LCD screens (and a few OLED ones) to very low levels--lower than the OS normally allows (that's why you need root privileges)--to save night vision. This will be particularly useful for serious amateur astronomers.
On some devices you can also turn off LEDs (e.g., power LED).
If you have ChainFire3D, RootDim will let you conveniently control the nightmode settings together with the brightness settings.
You can save up to five profiles that can be restored with a single touch in the RootDim screen. The profiles include LCD backlight brightness and nightmode settings (if applicable). Long touch on profile button to save, short touch to load.
You can also create launcher shortcuts for particular saved profiles and for cycling through all the profiles.
If RootDim doesn't work on your device, email me at arpruss@gmail.com before leaving a low rating. Maybe I can fix it.
Note 1: Some devices don't allow going below the minimum value allowed by the OS. There is really nothing I can do about that.
Note 2: There is a special feature for some Archos 70/101 devices that have a firmware problem that prevents them from waking up properly when they've been put to sleep with a low brightness (this problem occurs even if you don't have SuperDim). Go to Menu|Options and choose that option if you have one of these devices, and it should fix the problem.
Note 3: For all the users who would like a widget, please remember the launcher shortcut feature.

[2012-03-08] Jiun: Worked:-) |
|
[2012-03-08] a_tumiwa: . The lowest is not to low |
|
[2012-03-03] Collin: Great |
|
[2012-03-02] wlh2: Just needs locale plugin Turn off that amber led at night. Locale functionality would be fantastic... |
|
[2012-02-28] Aaron: Does nothing on Desire HD. |
|
[2012-02-24] Brad: Perfect! I tried a couple of these and this is the best. I have the Motorola Photon, the pentile display is great for direct sunlight, but it's too bright at night. This is the solution! |
|
[2012-02-24] Glenn: Best! I've been searching for one which can really work and does not have the irritation notification icons (I'm a neat freak). This app does both. Awesome |
|
[2012-02-21] youdontknowme: Works... But, would like option to apply settings on boot |
|
[2012-02-16] Alex: Update bug When using rootdim and changing presets with hardware keys ie. Search key. Rootdim fc's. Even after fix permission fix gets 5*. I am using thunderbolt on liquid 3.2 |
|
[2012-02-10] kevin: nice app, but save function for presets does not work on Samsung Moment. allows rename of preset, but reverts settings back to default. fix for 5stars |
|
[2012-02-10] Jacob: Wow!! I just thought of this and I'm glad I did!! Good for movie theaters and such and great battery saver!! |
|
[2012-02-07] Ranjith: Thanks Great app!! Protect ur eyes from too much brightness at night...worth having it |
|
[2012-02-03] Chirag: Best of it's kind Excellent app for a galaxy device. The widest range of brightness toggle. Samsung Galaxy GT-I9003. |
|
[2012-02-02] qwerty12: Shortcut icons are a little creepy; app is brilliant |
|
[2012-01-28] Jordan: Awesome This is such a clever and well implemented app! Thank you so much this is EXACTLY what i have been looking for |
|
[2012-01-27] GGF: Excellent I can now walk home in the dark and look at my phone without blinding me. |
|
[2012-01-24] Derek: When superdim is "locked" the screen light won't shut off The point of this app is to save battery, but when you lock it to a dim setting and shut off the screen the backlight stays on! It goes to a very dim state, but it burns up battery the whole time the screen is off. I do like the fixed controls over the other lights. |
|
[2012-01-24] taylor: Very Good! Does exactly what it says it does. |
|
[2012-01-23] Dan: Correction: The App is Perfect! The button-backlight option stopped working on the Droid X couple updates ago. After installing the most recent version and rebooting, it's working better than ever. |
|
[2012-01-23] Islam: Great I love this app thanks for the update doing a great job listening to the people |
|
[2012-01-23] Rick: Great! After the update everything is working perfect. |
|
[2012-01-21] Jack: Excellent Awesome on Zoom. Dimmer dim and brighter brights. Volume presets on the night and day Widgets is a feature I'd pay for. |
|
[2012-01-20] Adrian: Really good Had to downgrade for button lights on Droid X. Would be awesome if preset remembered other button stste too. |
|
[2012-01-19] Paul: Works very well! Love this app. |
|
[2012-01-18] Danny: Yes update broke backlight Update broke backlight off on Droid bionic |
|
[2012-01-16] Mas: Like it Best lah |
|
[2012-01-15] fire: love it Works great on my alpha build cm9 Photon. |
|
[2012-01-15] David: Want to really save battery? Look @ ur battery usage. It's all display, isn't it? Root ur phone & get this app. Reset the minimum to 3 or 4 and you'll save a ton on battery. Create shortcut to auto brightness for when it's light outside...don't forget to lock it and ur good to go! |
|
[2012-01-15] John: Works great on ATRIX (GingerBlur) Thank you. Almost dim enough. To not need screen fillter. Would be nice to also switch to all green or red. |
|
[2012-01-10] mem: Works fine on samsung s2 |
|
[2012-01-08] Roman: Widget It would be perfect if there is a widget to use saved profiles. |
|
[2012-01-07] Anonymous: awesome works like a charm on Bionic. I hope you're working on a widget. a separate option to set the parameters of the Auto mode would be really great. the bionic is still too bright in Auto mode in pitch dark. |
|
[2012-01-05] chris: Works on Xperia Neo The best thing about this app is the ability to turn off notification leds(the only app in the market I've found to do this) it would be 4-5 star if these were saved in the quick access buttons too, its a pain to have to manually turn these off every time.. or please make a widget that disables all notification led colours in one click! That would be a 5 star app! :-) |
|
[2012-01-04] D.: Great.. Does what it suppose to do! :) App still called SuperDim in appdrawer btw.. |
|
[2012-01-04] Karl: EVO 4g I never leave comments on apps, but this is an exception to the rule. I have been looking everywhere for an app that will turn of the amber and green charging lights on my rooted EVO 4g, and this did it finally. Thank you so much for this app |
|
[2012-01-04] Jon: Works on Droid Bionic |
|
[2012-01-03] WillyT: Great! Works well on Bionic! Amazing little app, great for movie theatres and laying in bed @ night. |
|
[2012-01-02] wpovsha: Awesome The best dimmer! |
|
[2011-12-28] andrew: Great! Exactly what I needed for watching movies in the dark, shuts the button backlights off so I can focus on the screen |
|
[2011-12-24] Travis: Great app! I missed this feature from MIUI, this app works great! Any way you could create a widget so we could toggle between dim and auto? |
|
[2011-12-23] Randie: Great Works perfect on droid bionic running theory ROM |
|
[2011-12-23] Travis: Finally! I was looking for something like this. Works GREAT on the Bionic! |
|
[2011-12-23] Sinusoid: One of a kind. None of the others seem to be able to get it so dim. it achieves levels as low as "echo 1 > /sys/blahblah/current brightness" |
|
[2011-12-21] Layne: Didnt go any darker than stock settings for me. Htc sensation with cyanogen mod 7 |
|
[2011-12-15] D.: Lame. Doesn't work any better than the system dimmer. |
|
[2011-12-11] Kyle: Amazing. Works absolutely perfect on my Bionic! |
|
[2011-12-02] Jason: Works as advertised. Works great on Moto Photon/Electrify. This does something different than Screen Filter so don't knock it. Both are good apps and can work together. |
|
[2011-12-02] David: Best This is the best dimmer on the market. |
|
[2011-12-02] Juxf: Juxf Simply nice! |
|
[2011-11-29] Robert: the best app for me I was looking for this app for a week!!! This is the only one app that can set the brightness level below 10 on my motorola Defy+. Thanks for this app! :) |
|
[2011-11-19] ukrav: Ok.. But to really dim the whole screen noticeably, nothing beats Screen Filter. This app only seems to dim the whites.. |
|
[2011-11-19] bemused: mytouch 4g mytouch 4g (htc) has a hardware minimum of 20, sadly. |
|
[2011-11-15] Mike: Very nice Works with chainfire 3d for color adjustment too which I set to amber at night. 5 stars if it had an auto dim/color timer. |
|
[2011-11-09] Mitan: Not working on Xperia mini Cant go dimmer than standard android screen settings |
|
[2011-11-09] daragh: Love it! Perfect. Very impressed at CF3D integration. Nice work. |
|
[2011-11-03] LucasHenderson: Works great, but two ways it could be better First, when the screen is set to minimum brightness on my Atrix, the button backlights can still be quite bright. They can be turned off via the "other lights" button, but they come back on if the screen is allowed to sleep, or another even wakes them up. A way to keep them off would be great. Second, widgets for quickly toggling between auto brightness/defaults, and a saved configuration. I'd love to be able to immediately switch between min brightness w/ no button backlight, and default settings. |
|
[2011-10-25] Chivalry Sky: . . |
|
[2011-10-25] Richie: Sweet! Love it, just needs a widget and I would give it 5 stars!! |
|
[2011-10-17] loumarjr: Works Great! Droid Bionic. |
|
[2011-10-15] George: Night time Works great on my Droid Bionic. Easier to see at night. |
|
[2011-10-07] Abubaker: Excellent. Constantly improving. Excellent application, great support from dev. I've yet to find any other application that does the job as well as this. Works great on my Galaxy SL. |
|
[2011-09-25] carl: Great app, love the features, soft mode, it allows you to change a setting so you can't go under a certain brightness.also had help from the dev :) |
|
[2011-09-23] Joe: Must have on Bionic and Photon! Motorola sets the minimum brightness way above what the screen will actually go down to. This app gets you to the minimum their screens go down to. |
|
[2011-09-16] James H: Wish auto brightness worked 2.3 Hope auto brightness will be bright to gingerbread..running on Atrix |
|
[2011-09-16] rafe: Must have app This is perfect for looking at your phone at night |
|
[2011-09-14] Matthew: Great concept Great concept, but doesn't go past default min on sensation. With root and it shows it does but no change. |
|
[2011-09-10] Tate: dim already goes this low, lowest is 15 for me and then it goes black. if I can dim even more 5 stars(: stock rom lg optimus v. |
|
[2011-09-07] James: My Evo already goes this dim. Ability to turn off amber light is good tho. |
|
[2011-09-06] Rem: Does the same lighting that my Hero phone can, but now I can also dim buttons! |
|
[2011-09-05] Leroy: Great app! Perfect at night. |
|
[2011-09-04] Mikko: Awesome on Archos 70. Can go much dimmer |
|
[2011-08-28] Franklin: Wonderful app! It's a great app. It does what its supposed to do (note perceptual threshold for discriminating brightness of screen) |
|
[2011-08-19] Jason: Works great on rooted Archos 70 System settings only dim to 20%. Dimmer dims to 10%. This will go down to 1%. Shortcut buttons look a little out of place on my launcher screen, and I don't care for how it switches to its view and back to make the change, but at least it does what it's designed to do. |
|
[2011-08-12] Darren: Wont go dimmer than 17 on a htc magic |
|
[2011-08-11] arielCo: Works perfectly Dims the screen down to "night mode" level persistently (read the instructions shown on first run). Also controls all the other LEDs. Milestone/CM7. |
|
[2011-08-05] Jake: Thanks Been looking for this. Reviewing while waiting for the movie to start :p |
|
[2011-08-05] Nephiel: Won't go dimmer than system display settings. Below 20%, all levels are the same. Rooted Galaxy S II. |
|
[2011-07-24] Brandon: Great :) Works as advertised on ATT Atrix 4G. Very satisfied. |
|
[2011-07-23] KaWang: doesnt work when auto brightness is on. Moto xt701 |
|
[2011-07-19] νShrike: Great! Should be part of OS. Latest update breaks it for CM7 NookColor. |
|
[2011-07-19] MissingXTension: The amber comes back nd backlighs actually stay dimmed. But it doesnt go below level 6 so keep the screenfilter handy to drop that light. nspire 4G |
|
[2011-07-17] Ioannis: Does not work for oled screens (now in description).. Nexus S. |
|
[2011-07-16] Hans: Works great! |
|
[2011-07-16] Jovan: Good Doesn't work on the mytouch 4g |
|
[2011-07-16] scoob8000: Promising.. Needs a widget. Also soon as my atrix wakes up, its bright again. |
|
[2011-07-15] Fabian: Saw on xda earlier & been waiting for this, because at night/in class screen is way too bright. Works perfect on hd2 android even at lowest dim |
|
[2011-07-14] T: Does not work on rooted Moto Droid 1 |
|
[2011-07-14] Fred: Very useful app I always found the Atrix backlight bright even at the lowest settings, so this is very useful. A widget for quick access would be even better. |
