About Auto Shine

Android app for automatic screen brightness adjustment. Replacement for built-in feature.

WARNING: This app is not one click solution! It requires some configuration to work properly.

It uses 4 pairs of light sensor data and corresponding screen brightness. In-between values calculated as simple linear interpolation of those points.

Main intended working mode is "Screen unlock/rotate" - read ambient light data, set brightness once... and do not annoy with backlight beaming anymore.

Permissions:

- Modify system settings - required to control display brightness

- Phone - keep reading light sensor data while phone ringing in pocket

- Notifications - to prevent being killed by system

- Request ignore battery optimizations - to prevent service suspend

- Run background service - it has "special use" type because does not fit in any category

- Run at startup - ...

What's new in 1.5

Add separate option for screen rotation Add user present listener (device unlock) Reduce sensor listening interval Indicate service state with quick settings tile
