Cometin
Cometin is a growing collection of tweaks and tricks to optimize your productivity and improve the android experience.
I can create a separate app for every idea I have. But why shouldn't I put everything in 1 app? Google announced Dynamic Modules at the IO in 2019 With dynamic features you can split an app into several parts. This is exactly what Cometin is. Cometin is a growing collection of tricks and tweaks for your Android device, split into modules. This way you only download the features that you want to use and save your storage space.

It's a great app. Modules just work out of the box. Really great. It truly deserves 5 star. Quick response from the developer team.
Very nice if you want to have some fun with your device by trying some cool tweaks !!😅😅
I have four identical tablets I use with security cameras. One of them did not rotate to landscape view. Factory support could not help with the tablet and app support was no help with the app. Cometin rotation feature fixed it. Nice work Cometin Team!.
I had problem with the app but the developer was so helpful and responsive and he helped me to solve this problem so If you are having any problem try to contact the developer before you rate it 1 star
Beautiful app to customize your phone. It has various modules for different customizations. I like the module to remap the on-screen home button: you can choose your preferred action when you hold the home button, like turning on the flash light or locking the screen, or launching any app you want. I contacted the help desk for a minor issue and they were helpful and professional.
A UI that flows
How it works:
This module allows you to design a custom ambient display that pops up when you receive a notification. This module is listening for new notifications. When a new notification comes in and the screen is turned off it will display an animation followed up by the message (optional)
Permissions used:
• Notification access, for listening for new notifications and displaying info
• Modify system settings, for temporarily changing the screen timeout to prevent the ambient display for displaying too long*
• Draw over other apps, required to show the lock screen on Android 10 devices
Ways to activate:
• Receive a notification
• Through the QS-tile (toggle the service)
Other notes:
• The current available animations are locked and cannot be sideloaded from files. This is planned for a possible future update.
• Please disable your built-in ambient display if available
What animations are supported?
Lottie animations are the only supported animations for now.
*This permission is optional, when Cometin does not have this permission it will use the default screen timeout setting
How it works:
This module allows you to lock applications with a pattern or password for an extra layer of security. It detects what application is on screen and shows an unlock screen on top of apps you mark as locked.
Permissions used:
• Drawing over other apps, these are required to show the unlock screen over the locked apps.
• Usage access, used to detect what app is being used.
Ways to activate:

Ways to activate:

Other notes:
• Make sure to stop the service in order to use the default rotation settings
How it works:
The caffeine module makes it possible to keep the screen on for a certain time. You can also reverse the functionality and force the screen to turn off after a certain time. This is useful if, for example, you are watching a movie and want to make sure that your phone turns off after a certain time to prevent your phone from being on all night.

Is your screen too bright at night or in the cinema? No problem! This module makes your screen darker than ever. And has a blue light filter too!
How it works:
This module draws a dark overlay on top of your apps. This way you can achieve a much lower brightness.
Permissions used:
• Accessibility service, these are required to draw a dark overlay over other apps.
Ways to activate:
• Through the app
• Through the QS tile
Other notes:
• Due to restrictions in Android Oreo I cannot draw over the statusbar or the notification bar, this results in the notification panel not being affected and some overlapping issue for users watching 2:1 videos with a notch in their display.
Flip your phone face down on a flat surface to turn on DND. Pick it up and DND gets disabled. It will take approximately 5 seconds for DND to toggle. Alarms will still get through so don\'t worry about missing an alarm!
How it works:
Flip to shhh uses a combination of your proximity sensor and your accelerometer to detect when your device is face-down on a flat surface. If it is. It will turn on DND (Alarms only). If the phone is picked up DND turns off.
Ways to activate:
• Toggle the module using the QS-tile
• Through the app
Permissions used:
• DND access, for turning on/off Do Not Disturb.
How it works:

Hide the navigation bar and status bar to get even more content on your screen.

Permissions used:

Change your location to whatever location you like! This module sets up a fake GPS location so other apps believes you are there.

How it works:
To setup a parallel environment a work profile will be set-up. A work profile is used to separate settings, data and apps from your already existing apps.
This allows you to install apps twice, and separate the settings (such as contacts and mail accounts). It\'s a great way to separate work data from private data.
Permissions used:
• Device admin permissions in the work profile, used to remove the work profile using the Cometin app
Ways to activate:
• Apps in the parallel environment are marked with a suitcase icon next to the app icon

Enough modules to keep you busy
0 modules and counting
Modules take a lot of time to create and test. Each phone works in its own way and modules therefore do not always work well on every phone. At the moment there are 14 modules.
