Screen Too Bright? Screen Filter!

Found this app the other day and can't believe I went this long without it!
Screen Filter. It's free from the marketplace. It tones down your brightness significantly under the lowest setting in TouchWiz.
I used to keep sunglasses next to my bed for sleepy-time Reddit browsing, but not any more!
Here's an A-B for you non believers. First photo is at lowest brightness setting in TouchWiz. Second photo is at 34.1% brightness (toggled by Screen Filter widget)
Before:

Are you me? I actually used to do the same thing but then I also found this app a, couple or few months back. I just never thought to post it. Good idea
I also use the shortened led buttons mod found in the dev forum and it makes for a much better experience.

Thanks for the feedback! Is this the mod you used? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1018093
just flashed it. VERY pleased with this combination!

Does it have an auto adjust function?

I use this for said purposes like in the morning and it works great. However, it seems to drain the batt quicker because I don't think it actually lowers the display output, just filters it like a lamp shade and uses some cpu powr. correct me if im wrong..

Ahh yes! You definitely should be able to automate this. Let me know how it goes!

I'm sure tasker could start it on schedule.

This app is great. I found it awhile ago as well and use it for my phone in the docking station as my alarm clock. The brightness used to wake me up in the middle of the night sometimes it was so bright.

The blurb about the app in the market states that it saves battery on s-amoled displays... Can't vouch for that myself, but I haven't noticed any increase of battery usage while using my phone in the dark .

Finally I have found app with additional RGB adjust and so awaiting autorun
Waiting a long time for that
Screen adjuster at market

noobish noob is noobish.
Regardless, this is still a great app that everybody should keep installed to save battery and your eyes at night!

My app, made for educational purpose (and for a friend who complains about the lack of autorun in screen fillter) =)

Great app I don't want to miss,
but whenever I have it enabled it's not possible for me anymore to install apks.
Weird. But still power-saver No1 !

that is so not true. i use flash everyday on my phone with embedded youtube videos on sites, watch the euro on my phone thanks to flash support and a lot of other stuff. It's true that a lot of the bigger budget more mainstream site have converted to HTML5, but i find it absolutely revolting that when i'll need it, i wont be able to use flash. I really hope some devs cook something up for that.

The apk will be floating around until html 5 takes over completely. Flash for desktop pc's will not require websites to use beyond flash 11 (if ever) until long after html 5 is in full force. We will be ok.

Its not like its not going to work anymore. Its just no longer being supported or updated. Flash 11 is all we need for every website. Iphone users would give there left nut to have an apk that works. Even if it never gets updated. Maybe even both nuts.

Im not saying that its not outdated, i'm saying that a very large number of sites still use flash and our apk will work until the site goes to html 5. So it no longer getting updated is not a big deal. Its old news.
Now, If our flash apk simply doesnt work on jellybean, then you will have some upset folks.

Yup. I had a LOLApple moment a few days ago in a bagel place. My 4yo wanted to sit next to another ~4yo and his mom. After a few minutes, my 4yo asked if he could use my phone to play a game on the Nick Jr website. I gave him my phone. When the other 4yo saw this, he asked his mom to do the same with her iphone. Ruhtroh, Nick Jr is a flash site and so her iphone wouldn't load it.

[FOR FUN] RuneScape HTML5 Beta runs (poorly) on N7 w/ Chrome Beta!

WARNING: this uses a TON of battery to even get started. My N7 was plugged into my computer and went from 40% -> 17% before I even got ingame.

You'll need a BT keyboard, because there's no way to open up the virtual keyboard when you get to the login window, and unfortunately you can't go fullscreen since the applet is fit to the size of the window. So you're stuck with the bar at the top.

Jumping into the game seems to give you a black screen as of right now...
... but going into settings and manually tinkering with it I GOT THE GAME TO LOAD!!!!! It takes three and a half years (not even exaggerating that bad, literally took half an hour), but it works!
Basically, just tap the gear at the top right and set it to low, then refresh if you need to. Try not to scroll if you can help it. Then start up the game!
Once you can see everything on the ground, the game's still not done loading. Give it some more time and THE SKY APPEARS!!! (...along with a subscribe button)
Aaaand a couple years later, your character will finally appear.
Be careful taking screenshots, this is super intensive on the hardware so it'll lag really, really, really bad. The audio will snip and your screen will flash like 80 times.
The FPS is terrible if you were wondering.
Here's a video.

Haha :laugh:
I stopped playing that a long time ago - here are a few screenshots that I have

Supposedly it runs poorly on PCs too. The game itself is still beta and hasn't been optimized yet.
I'm not even sure Chrome will utilize the GPU, so maybe forcing GPU rendering in Dev options will help.

That probably wouldn't help since it's a 3D game, right?

I stopped playing this a couple years ago but its quite neat that it actually loads in Chrome.

Are you thinking about starting again or something? :angel: I quit in 2007 and gave away $200m in items and cash to my best friends in the game. Then a few years later I gave my character away to one of my best friends in real life who plays occasionally.
I attached a few of my fave screenshots I made back then.

Oh Runescape....
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I never really got into Runescape for some reason. A friend of mine did give me a level 30 something to play with and it was fun but nothing really grabbed me. Of course I wasn't attached to my character like I would have if I kept up with my original character.

Is that the actual barcode from your phone? I scanned the image and the scan number does not match the human readable number.
Here's what I get when I scan the barcode: 9788087049099

Sure, I bet he did, but it's still a live wallpaper that needs to download images and use the CPU to blur them. It's probably not too much though.

Would only drain battery while the wallpaper is showing. Although using their featured images would have to connect once a day, I doubt the battery drain would be much.

The CPU doesn't actively need to be used to blur (it could just be a blurred overlay and the opacity cycles to transition).
Additionally, I use it, and since I have it using local images only, it doesn't take a hint of battery. Unless you manually change it, all the wallpapers it cycle through are blurred by default.

Nice find!!! Lovin'it!!
Only question is if any one knows which calender app the screenshot of the app shown in the GP is by any chance??
