Screen Filter

>250,000 downloads, 11307 ratings (4.71 average), 52 kb

Reduce the brightness of your screen for night-time viewing. Applies a shade that acts as a dimmer to ensure your eyes don't hurt. Far more powerful than Android's built-in brightness setting. Great for low-light gaming, web browsing, and eBook reading. It even saves battery life for AMOLED displays!

More features:
- Widgets: Easy access to preset brightness levels.
- Tasker/Locale Plug-in! Set level based on time/place/etc. To disable, configure for 100% brightness.
- Brightness slider uses logarithmic scale for fine-grained control.
- Option to disable soft-key backlight (does not work on all phones).
- Drag the app icon to your desktop to use for toggling on/off.
- Prompts to confirm very low brightness settings.

Note!
- If you accidentally make your screen go black: Uninstall the app and then reinstall to reset your bad brightness setting.

Email me if you have any other problems or questions!

Recent changes:
- Adds widget presets!
- Can now manually input brightness setting
- Various small bug fixes

Known issues (all being investigated):
- NexusS/Gingerbread: Filter makes Gmail not respond to clicks. I hear this is fixed in the latest Gmail update.
- Soft-key backlight control does not work on all phones.

Latest version: 1.2 (for all Android versions)

Works great, but not intended to save battery life as claimed in other reviews. The creator even specifically said it only "applies a shade", but does not alter your original screen's output. make sure you only intend to dim your screen, not save battery, before installing this app.

READ THIS: I just found out that screen filter is the reason why I cannot click on any "Install" button and therefore cannot install any app while screen filter is enabled. HTC SENSATION.
