Brief Description

Velis Auto Brightness is a refined screen brightness management app for Android devices.

Overview

Velis Auto Brightness is a dynamic app that ensures optimal screen brightness on your Android device. Once the initial setup is complete, the app can manage screen brightness automatically. However, it still allows user intervention to adjust brightness manually when required.

Features & Functionality

This app comes with a host of default settings suitable for different types of screens. Whether your device has a TFT or an AMOLED screen, Velis Auto Brightness has distinct settings customized for each one. It ensures that irrespective of the screen type and sensor your Android device is equipped with, there is an efficient configuration available.

Another noteworthy feature is the exception list in the settings. Users can create this list to stop Velis Auto Brightness from adjusting the screen brightness when specific apps are in use. This functionality is particularly useful when you have specific brightness preferences for certain apps like video games or multimedia applications.

Efficiency and Usability

Velis Auto Brightness is a highly effective app that takes the hassle out of managing screen brightness. While many users may overlook the importance of screen brightness, it significantly impacts user experience. Too much brightness can strain the eyes, while too little can make the screen unreadable. This app intelligently adjusts the brightness based on the environment and the user's preferences.

The setup process is straightforward and should take no more than two to three minutes. Once set up, the app operates seamlessly in the background, optimizing your device's screen brightness intelligently and efficiently.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Velis Auto Brightness is an excellent tool for managing your Android device's screen brightness. Its range of features, coupled with its ease of use, makes it a must-have app for any Android user.

Potentially dangerous permissions

CAMERA: Required to be able to access the camera device.

Other permissions

GET_TASKS: This constant was deprecated in API level 21. No longer enforced.
PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS: Allows an application to collect component usage statistics
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: Allows an app to create windows using the type TYPE_SYSTEM_ALERT, shown on top of all other apps. Very few apps should use this permission; these windows are intended for system-level interaction with the user.
WRITE_SETTINGS: Allows an application to read or write the system settings.
