About Lux Auto Brightness APK
Table Of Contents
Description
The original custom auto brightness solution for Android."To put it simply, Lux kicks the pants off of Android’s stock brightness manager, and it’s worth every cent." - Lifehacker
"Lux is a third-party app that allows you to easily calibrate your phone’s brightness sensor, saving you battery power and reducing eye strain if your phone is normally too bright in dark rooms." - HowToGeek
Lux isn't your ordinary brightness app. It intelligently adjusts the brightness of your display based on the environment you're in. If you step into a dimly lit room, Lux will automatically lower the brightness of your display to make it not only comfortable to read, but to also preserve battery power.
Lux is also able to adjust the screen temperature of your display automatically to make it appropriate for night usage. At sunset, you can have Lux automatically warm your display and switch to your Night profile. If you're an astronomer, you can enable astronomer mode to cut out harsh white light. If you have a root enabled phone, you may even be able to apply these enhancements at a low level with Lux's plug-in system.
Perhaps the best thing about Lux is that you can teach it how to behave. If the backlight is too bright or dim for your liking, simply open the provided Dashboard, adjust the brightness slider to the level you desire, then hold the link button. Lux will use this new 'link' as a reference in future.
Give it a go! I want you to test Lux for more than the 15 minute refund period offered by Google. I understand that some devices may not have the best quality light sensor, and that you may need more time to play around with settings. If you find that Lux doesn't suit you after the 15 minutes is up, you can request a refund within a week of purchase via e-mail - no questions asked.

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.

User's Reivew
3 ★Continuously closes/stops working so I have to keep opening the app. I have contacted the developers who have done nothing. The three star rating is due to it being a good app otherwise it would've been 2 stars.
1 ★Fail to update for years. Sleeping on lock issue remains unresolved. You have to manually awake it up from notification bar, everytime you unlock your phone.
4 ★Excellent, but a little tricky to get used to.
1 ★it doesnt work with samsung s9 and Oreo i get a notification asking me to change permissions, however all permissions are granted and i still get the pop uo warning me about Android 5. something ... the app also used to crash and conflict with Oreo
2 ★No updates since 2016 You,'re not serious maintianing your app, this apps doesnt relay work well on note 8 oreo now. It reaponds too slow to light and doesnt work as it used to be.. Iam about to uninstall it if there isnt any update in the future
1 ★Constantly sets itself to sleeping without touching it. Super annoying. Seems to happen when hitting the refresh button too, which I constantly need to press because it doesn't update fast enough.
5 ★Best dimming/brightening app I could find. Put an end to my headaches. People that complain that the app does stuff by itself haven't run the simple set up wizard which takes about 5 seconds.
1 ★Used this years back and it was really good. Sadly it won't start on Android 9, complains about permissions and crashes.
1 ★This app used to be amazing, but it hasn't been updated since 2016 and is very buggy in the newest version of Android. I miss it terribly.
3 ★initially it was good but not what expected. app drains battery and over compensates night blue light display. I would like a refund.
2 ★Used to be very good. Now deprecated and not compatible anymore.
5 ★I'm using this on my LG V30 and it is so much better than the default auto brightness. Great app. I recommend it to anyone whose auto brightness is bad
