    CF.lumen - don't let your phone blind you! CF.lumen changes the colors of your Android device's display based on the position of the sun. With the default settings, your display will get a warmer tint (lower color temperature) when the sun is down, to look more like indoo.

    Eye Saver eliminates flickering too not only filters the blue light as Flux does plus breaks timers and screen color effects. Great software.
