Description

IMPORTANT: Screen Overlays is available in two editions, "Free" and "Pro". When you install this app, you get the "Free" edition. To have the "Pro" edition, you need to install also "Screen Overlays Pro (unlock)" that will unlock all the features. Read below to understand the differences between the two editions.

WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH "SCREEN OVERLAYS":
- patch single areas of your screen to make it look uniform (remove uneven spots and stripes)
- balance the screen colors (make it look warmer, colder, darker, remove defects like a yellow tint or a pink tint)
- apply a timed activation to the overlays (for example, you like to read on your device at night and you want to apply a "Reading Mode" overlay only at certain times to avoid eye strain)

"FREE" EDITION FEATURES:
- add up to 1 overlay
- add up to 2 shapes per overlay
- for each shape, define the kind (rectangle or ellipse), color, opacity, style (solid or gradient), size, position and rotation
- for each overlay, decide if it's always active or define its activation and deactivation times
- change the visibility of each overlay and each shape within an overlay
- assign a custom name to each overlay
- duplicate an overlay to have a starting point for a new one
- decide if an overlay or shape must be displayed on top of others by dragging them up and down in the list
- quickly make the overlays visible or invisible through the Screen Overlays notification (some apps' buttons don't work with an overlay on top of them, so you can temporarily disable the overlays, push the button and then enable them again)
- automatically start on boot to make Screen Overlays active as soon as you start your device
- test the visible overlays and visible shapes to see how they look on a plain background
- decide the background color of the positioning and test screens
- security feature to disable Screen Overlays (if the overlays are too opaque and don't let you see behind them, use the power button of your device to switch off and on the screen 5 times and the app will be disabled)

"PRO" EDITION FEATURES:
- add unlimited overlays
- add unlimited shapes per overlay
- all the other features of the "Free" edition

REQUIRED PERMISSIONS EXPLANATION:
- SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: this allows the app to display the overlays on the screen (the main purpose of the app)
- RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: this allows the app to start on boot if this setting is active

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

1 ★Do not downlaod
5 ★Works just like normal...
1 ★Doesn't work
5 ★Woww super appp i liked this app
5 ★fixed my screen bleeding
1 ★Really frustrating to fiddle around with these inaccurate settings/sliders.The colored band is always to high or to low. The opacity setting arealways a tad to opaque or not enough translucent. Why not work with anextra accuracy sliders with percentages like the opo screen fix? Sureenough there are enough settings but working with this app is a pain in theass
5 ★Works great! Use it to put a screen overlay right above the capacitive buttons of my Axon 7 so I know right were they are at night. Reading other reviews, I'm not sure everyone understands what this app is for... But it works well when you know what it is supposed to do.
5 ★this is awesomee! my oneplus 6 had a yellow burn in from playing asphalt 9, the nitro button was stuck there in yellow, i added a blue circle on that and its now grayish in color but not noticeable at all and doesnt drive me nuts like before! i hope this app doesnt drain battery though
5 ★I use this because I'm low vision and having a pink overlay makes it easier for me to see things. It works great so far! It's kind of hard to figure out how to use the app but it definitely works. Ignore the bad reviews.
5 ★I'm going to guess that the following idea isn't possible due to Android security restrictions. It would be nice if the overlay could be configured so it automatically shuts off on certain backgrounds (such as dark). I was able to fix uneven red tint on white backgrounds but the overlays become visible and look bad on darker backgrounds. In the meantime I just toggle overlays on and off manually from the notification pull down. Should probably just make Samsung replace their defective screen but trying to avoid that.
5 ★Lifesaver! I messed up my screen physically and it became very annoying to use. Luckily I found this app and after setting up some gradient shapes my phone is usable again! Nice modern interface too!
3 ★Nice concept but don't help much, can't get the color right to fix a yellowish band on one side of my screen. Also granite don't work maybe add fading
