Description

This simple application is primarily for using with HuskyDev watch faces.

It was created as a consequence of changes in the permission model on devices running Android 6.0.

Beginning in Android 6.0 (API level 23), users grant permissions to apps while the app is running, not when they install the app.

For adjusting of the screen brightness user must grant special permission "MANAGE WRITE SETTINGS". There is a special system UI for this request on the phone, but on the watches, this system UI is missing. Android Wear platform doesn\'t implement the system UI required for the user to grant these "super-permissions".

Solution for this issue is create new standalone application targeting older version of Android, so no need to request permission while app is running.

Comments on Wear brightness control for Android

★★★★★ JAMES WALKER JR · May 28, 2017

I did a pass in review on it a pretty good app I was reading the reviews and seem like it needs a little bit of beefing up did not test it out yet.....

★★★★☆ Marcus Gardner · Jan 8, 2023

Extremely nice face only I can't get to display the temperature in Celsius

★★★★★ Andrew Kajda · Jul 3, 2017

It is an excellent supplement to the Black Classic Watch Face, to control the brightness of the screen of your phone through the Watch interface.

★★★★★ Linda Ritchie · Jun 22, 2017

I enjoy the many functions the face has and also that I csn change colors.

This app is great. The built-in settings in my LG G Watch R does not dim well, even at level 1 it's too bright. So this lets me dim it more. Hope this helps save battery as well. Thanks

I downloaded it but all it does is advertise other products. There is no way to actually use the app. The watch face is nice, once you buy all the bells and whistles, but I cannot get any sense out of this. How the Hell do you install it. The phone does nothing.

★☆☆☆☆ Darrell Patterson · May 29, 2017

Has no functionality, opening app does nothing, pressing on the watch face image in the app has no effect. It's easier to use the built-in function on watch, swipe down, press brightness button and select level you want. Seems silly to pull out phone and open an app to adjust brightness when it's much easier on phone.

6.5 mb and full network permission for a brightness control app? Something is fishy ...
