For those who do not have this option natively, the Kcal Color Control app ( https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/dev-kcal-advanced-color-control-t3032080 ) can do this. But from what I read, it only works on Qualcomm and with an specific option on Kernel. On my Z3 Compact, with custom rom, worked but on GPD Q9, also with custom rom, did not work

I'm having trouble with the app on my LG V20. I downloaded the apk from GitHub. The setup wizard dosn't detect busybox pro. I tried zero brightness method and cut power method. The app fails to turn off the screen and stops responding.
someone please help me, I used note 8 N950U and couldn't turn off the screen when using HDMI out, I searched everywhere but it was very bad, the Standby screen is no longer available, I'll pay for someone who can help me, please 
I wonder if there's still anyone following this but it want hurt to try.
Just a quick question, is it possible to have the "Remote Receiving Mode" persistent?
So I don't have to go to the app and put it back in remote receiving mode every time after reboot/shutdown.
thanks

9[Tutorial] Making Screen Standby works with Tasker
This tutorial will help you setup tasker to automatically turn off / on screen based on your defined profiles.
Step 1. Download and install my app (only works with version 1.5 and above), then open Tasker, of course
Step 2. Switch to Tasks tab, click on the Add button (plus icon)
Step 3. Type "Screen off" as Name or up to you /* creating action to enable my app to turn off the screen */
Step 4. Click on the Add action button (plus icon)
Step 5. Select Misc -> Send Intent
Step 6. In the action box, type in com.nkahoang.screenstandby.action.ENABLE
(case sensitive)
Step 7. Click on OK (check icon button)
Step 8. Add another task
Step 9. Type "Screen on" as Name or up to you /* creating action to disable the app to turn the screen on again */
Step 10. Click on the Add action button
Step 11. Select Misc -> Send Intent
Step 12. In the action box, type in com.nkahoang.screenstandby.action.DISABLE
(case sensitive)
Step 13. Click on OK (check icon button)
Step 14 (Optional). Go to Screen Standby -> Menu -> Settings and set all the options you want the app to behave like
Now you can add action "Screen off" and "Screen on" in your Tasker profile. Have fun!9Screen Standby is now OPEN SOURCE
Hi everyone, sorry for the long long response. Many things happened and I'm extremely sorry for any issues and lack of my feedback.
Today, I finally have some free time and open sourced Screen Standby to everyone under GNU GPL v2 license
Every developer will be able to access the codebase of the app for the first time (with screen off, remoting, HDMI, everything!) and contribute directly to it. I would like to apologize for being late in open sourcing the app. I recognise my biggest problem was the ambitious of making the app compatible with all devices, which did prove that it is an impossible task. Screen Standby is too hardware specific and I, myself cannot maintain it to work on all devices.
The app should be able to compatible with 4.4 devices (4.3 device please wait for an update to 4.4)
Github repository is at the following URL:
https://github.com/nkahoang/screenstandby
If the app is not working on your devices, please ask your device developer to contribute in the app project. I, myself, will contribute in the following devices:
- Google Nexus 4 (4.0+)
- Google Nexus 5 (4.4+)
- Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 (4.4+, which is broken as I dropped it after having it for about 1 month... )
Cheers and glory to Open Source community8
New year Release: 1.99 R2
- Add new feature: "Auto app detection". If enabled, this feature will turn off screen when the selected app is launched (Youtube, Ingress, MX Player, etc) and screen will be turned on again if none of the selected app is active. Select up to 4 apps, disabled by default.
- Much much better One Two Dim. The handler is completely rewritten and should be more stable and battery friendly
- Attempt to fix Nexus 10 bugs
- Squash some small bugs
I would like to thank you to Styles Vancleave with his very generous donation that is enough to buy me more than a year worth of daily coffee. It greatly helps further development of this app. Thanks again!8Everyone, I would like to make an announcement

SCREEN STANDBY IS NOW LIVE ON GOOGLE PLAY STORE!
The app is published under the name "Screen Standby ♯ Root" with version v1.75 (also updated on this thread), which has the following changelogs:
- New icon !!!
- Proximity sensor (experimental, please test for me! )
- Even better stability & faster off time
- I also implemented an ads banner with this (don't worry guy, there is an option in Settings to turn it off :highfive:.)
Both XDA Thread and Google Play will receive constant update from me (for those who don't use Google Service can download the app directly from this thread). Moreover, XDA Thread will receive more frequent update (like what I have been doing)
Please spend time checking it out and give me some reviews It would encourage me a lot in further development of the app.
--------------------
One more thing, as I mentioned, my MHL adapter is broken. So can anyone with MHL adapter make a short Youtube demonstration clip for this little app so that I could add it to the Google Play page? I would be very very grateful.
Once again, I would like to express my deepest appreciation to everyone for helping me. Without you, this app is still a lost orphan thread sinking down somewhere in XDA.
CHEERS!
