[v2][Dec 27] AMOLED Burn-in Fixer

AMOLED Burn-in Fix

Hey Guys,
I wrote a quick app to fix the burnin for AMOLED screens.

"Burn-in" is caused by an uneven wear on the screen and can only be reversed when the uneven portions are worn like the rest of the screen.
By using this app you are guaranteed to wear only the status bar and/or navigation bar so the effects of burn-in should be reduced.

Its pretty simple for now, I may add a timer in the future if anyone is interested.

Can't we just enable inverted mode in the settings without this app and get the same results??

You can, but this app was specifically designed to only have the status bar and navigation bar lit while active.

Erm, you can just use an app that full screen flashes to solve the issue.

This is the one I have used the most i run it for about an hour every week

That app is for LCD burn-in, not amoled.
Read my description for how this app works

Good job man. Don't let those who come off as ungrateful keep you from creating things like this.

No need to have your entire screen inverted or flashing when you can simply target the two problem areas..

When you invert the color you should be brought back to the app. From there simply click hide settings and your nav/status bar should be inverted

1) I appreciate BlackDino's work. I had this unevenly aged burn-in on my statusbar & navbar.
2) I now know why Samsung ALWAYS puts a gray tint on their statusbar, so phone's screen is more evenly used/lit
3) what's with attacking the developer? I'm a little bit disappointed by XDA's lack of action to mediate the attack on developers. This app poses zero threat. Developers like BlackDino should be celebrated for her/is well intention for the community.
4) Thanks for the app, BlackDino!

And I think some people get too worked up, just call this issue uneven tan-lines issue .

Thanks for this app

Thanks for the application.
In the future, a scheduler would be perfect.

Great app. Have a reminder to use this. Any auto run for X minutes would be a cool add as well

Any recommendations on how long to run the app per day to prevent "burn in"?

Per day maybe 1-2 minutes.
I'd check the tester every time you finish to see what the damage is like.

If the damage is pretty bad I'd do one longer than the other ones to try and balance out the wear

Display currently has no burn in as I have been babying it. For prevention would you recommend the same amount of time? Thanks!

With amoled there really isn't any sort of perversion, since its all about which parts of the screen have been worn.

Check the tester to see if there any signs of burn-in, if not then you should be good for now
