Default Check out "Screen Filter"

Prime is a glare monster. I used to get a headache when surfing web at night... no longer now!!

Awesome app.. allows really reduced glare. I have set it fot 40% lesser brightness.... and that works at night time best for me.

My kid also finds reduced brightness much better, when i read out stories for him from the prime.

I'm a bit confused. The lowest brightness setting of my prime isn't what i would call 'glare monster' at all.

Do you use this app to replace the primes brightness control or does it work in addition to it?

Works in addition to it. I take off 40% brightness from the lowest possible prime brightness.

Be aware with this installed if you try side load an apk it won't let you install it.
You must deactivate this to sideload an apk.

Something to do with screenoverlay. It's meant to be like this something to do with security from google.
