[APP][2.3+][ROOT] App Override - Now on Playstore

We've all heard of the ability to set a custom DPI for each application, such as in the ParanoidAndroid ROMs and the Xposed Framework. Consdering that control of the user over his/her applications, I came up with App Control, Taking Application Control to the next level. Remeber it's still in beta so expect bugs.

The list remains short for now, but will be growing in time. This application allows you to set custom settings for each and every app, regardless of the fact of it being either a system or user application, such as;

• Screen Orientation
• Font Size
• Input Method
• Screen Timeout
• Minimum CPU Speed
• Maximum CPU Speed
• Sound Mode
• Wifi

Didn't get it? Here's how it works, for each application you can set these settings, you can specify the settings for each individual application. Here are the explainations for each feature or setting.

-Screen Orientation
You can specify an application to remain in a certain Orientation, which may be, portrait, landscape, reverse portrait and reverse landscape. Lets say you would like an application to stay in landscape, incase your watching a video on YouTube, Netflix etc, but you would like the rest of your applications to remain on auto-rotate and you don't want to go rushing back to settings to change this everytime, this setting gives you the ability to do exactly that.

-Font Size
Let's say you have an elderly person is using a device and they have problems with reading their daily news because the text was too small, with this setting you can make the Font Size larger to put that issue at ease. NOTE: This will work depending on your device, it is not guaranteed to work on every device.

-Input Method
You can select the keyboard or voice input is going to be used in the app you choose.

-Screen Timeout
Specify an app to Timeout Screen after a specified time, saving battery life, by reducing screen use.

-Minimum CPU Speed
Let's say your just going to be listening to music and would like to save battery at the same time, but you dont want to do that because your too lazy to switch back to an application to underclock then return to the normal clock speed when needed again, so with this app, you can specify that when your favourite music player if launched, your device's clock speeds will reduce.

-Maximum CPU Speed
Again, lets say your in a position to overclock your phone to avoid lag while playing a game, but that clock speed may stick for longer for any possible reason, causing battery drain and unnecessary heating up of the device, so you can assign clock speeds which will only trigger when that application is launched.

-Sound Mode
This allows you to set a Sound Mode such as Silent or Vibrate which will be activated when ever the application you selected it for is launched.

-Wifi
Wifi control will alow you to enable wifi whenever a specific application is launched, for example your browser.

To add more configurations, tap the What to Control button and check the ones you want from the list.

You can't set the dpi with this app. But assuming you had it set already and these settings didn't work well with it, lemme test it out and try to fix the issue your facing.

You plan permission control too for this app?
I like it.

Yes I will be in the future but it will be apart from root permissions, I.e you can limit an app to not use the Internet so no ads can be displayed etc. Heres a short list of what I have planned:
-auto wifi start when a specified app is launched
-separate volume control ability for each app
-permission controls
-disabling on boot startup

Updated to 0.20!
Now supports Wifi configurations across all apps!
Fixed a bug where shutting down service caused a reboot on some devices

Superuser freaks out when I try to enable the CPU settings. It just loops over and over and denies it automatically. Otherwise very nicely done!

Try with SuperSU, I had a similar issue with superuser when testing.

If you set an app to not use wifi, it just turns on the 3G instead, haha.
