About BlackouT Screen Dimmer

This screen brightness dimmer dims the phone or tablet for use in theaters, bedrooms, wherever your phone is too bright.

Now has a boot receiver to apply the same dimming on boot.

Failsafe: Use the volume keys to raise or lower the brightness while the app is open. Only while the app is on the screen.

Failsafe: Set boot receiver to launch the service 5 minutes after boot. This should be more than enough time to get in an reset the settings.

Failsafe: Set set to automatically dim, therefore if you set too low of a value, shine a flashlight at the phone and it should brighten enough to reset it.

Added failsafe in case the user doesn't have a light sensor.

Also added a current brightness seekbar (slider), and a dimming trigger level seekbar.
Please see screenshots and video.

My galaxy s3 updated the other day and now my minimum screen brightness increased way to much. Out of all the apps I just searched, this is the only one that actually dimmed my screen below this new (way too bright) minimum setting. Also, thank you for not requiring you scan my calls to dim my screen like some of your competitor apps.

Does what it says it will but takes a little tweeking. Its a great app for reading at night and using GPS while driving / flying. Finally, can dim a screen enough to use it and keep your night vision! Remember to reset before getting back into the light though otherwise you have to go into a closet to turn your dimmer back up! Oh, just a note not a gripe, it will not save battery because it simply puts a dark filter on your screen, it DOES NOT dim your backlight.

My phones built in bright control was causing my turn on screen to fail-this app has saved me. The only drawback is I get overlay permissions screen pop up every time I need to add perms for other apps but a quick uninstall/ reinstall of black out fixes that as I can't figure out how to get to that overlay permission screen without it auto popping up. Great non invasive app tho, thanks!

It definitely dims the screen to almost pitch black, but when you do it takes up 25% of battery. It seems to be constantly on even when you set the level to no dimming. I suggest the night mode app since it has an on and off button.

Does what it should, simply and cleanly. Bug on the Samsung Galaxy S7 - stops working if the screen overlay is turned off and back on, had to reinstall. But this is my 3rd phone with this app and I won't be without it. Well done!

Hi. No problems so far. But I have to ask, why is the BlackouT logo on the bottom two cornera of my phone screen at all times? I turn it on at night and shutdown the app via the options in the morning but the logos are still there. Can you explain this to me so I dont think something crazy?

... i use at night for anything google because google wants to be bright white everything, GOOGLE YOUR NOT SAVING ELECTRICITY ON AMOLED SCREENS, you guys at google are rich, start making options for dark themes on your apps, and quit trying to save the Environment, save my EYES, I'm more important, geez. i guess wind power is so pollutant.
