Strings for translations - all translation help appreciated. The link points to a .zip archive containing all localizations. The base for translations is english text found in "values" directory. Please send the translated strings to my e-mail. Basic knowledge of xml needed: translate only values, not ids. Use plain text editors such as notepad.exe, gedit or kate. Make sure the file is UTF-8 encoded before sending it back.
You can test your translation before sending it to me by placing your translated strings.xml into the phones /sdcard/ directory (root of external storage). The app will detect if such a file is present and load it. Note that currently the menu and some arrays are not translated in this way, but most of the strings should work just fine.
For usage, please see the manual.
Please see XDA homepage about language support. Any translation help most welcome!
Velis auto brightness aims to provide the best possible brightness experience by using your devices sensors to determine the environment you're in. You have complete control over how much brightness will be applied for any given light condition, from selecting the sensors used to fully customizable brightness graph. This is a replacement for system provided auto-brightness functionality usually found in Settings / Display / Brightness
Features:
- Initial configuration wizard for an easy start
- User-selectable sensors: light, proximity (cameras planned soon)
- Supports custom sensors on phones such as Sony Xperia
- Brightness presets for every taste and screen
- Profiles (save the brightness graph under your own name)
- Fully customizable brightness graph to fit your needs or cover your sensor’s faults
- Extensive sensitivity adjustments (light change threshold, smoothing times up / down, boost threshold)
- Superdimming to make those shades really dark
- Excluded apps (will disable Velis Auto Brightness when they are on top)
- Launcher widget with on/off button, profile select button and a brightness graph
- Tasker / Locale support for many sensor readings and app settings
- Convenient in-app store for premium content (some tasker and widget functionality) and developer support
- Custom app language
- Additional brightness when charging
- Only uses sensors when screen is on conserving battery
However, some phones - most notably some custom ROMs on SGS 2 - will still report this app as the highest battery user even though the battery does not drain any faster than without this app. Please verify your actual battery usage before complaining about the app being listed as a big consumer.
Tasker plug-in / Locale plug-in: Provides conditions for screen on, calculated light reading, proximity sensor reading, calculated brightness. Exposes many settings to locale / tasker for detailed adjustment from these managers. Some of this functionality is premium content available through in-app purchase.
