Hi,
automatic backlight is still too bright for me in almost any environment. I want to control the brightness of the screen by setting other values.
Is there an app or a hack to do this?
Good question. Loved to know too!
Look under widgets and you will find one called
"Brightness"
I'll let you figure the rest out for yourself

Try to using
Brightenes Level App
I recommend "SwitchPro Widget", which is available from the Marketplace. It allows you to toggle the brightnees, even to levels lower than the automatic setting.
Hi, i dont want to change brightness manually, but want to change the default values which are used for automatic brightness. Is this possible?
Does no one knows??
Hmmm would be handy!

Perhaps you could put some tinted glass/plastic over the sensor, so the phone thinks it's darker than it actually is and doesn't make the screen as bright?

good idea, but that's not the resolution, even in night it's very bright and for me even at manual 1% brightness it's a bit to bright for me...
would be awesome to have more possibilities to work with the amoled screen - by the way - for black it needs 0% energy so better to read white letters on black background
edit: me using "Quick Settings" to handle brightness etc.
Hi I am using dimmer lite download frm market place suits my usage

I would like the automatic brightness to be just a bit more brighter when im outside. Would be great to be able to adjust it!!
If there was something like a -2 -1 0 +1 +2 way to adjust it!
Dont want manually keep setting the brightness all the time.
I just tried the app called Dimmer.
It is perfect.
Goes to a very low setting and then switches back to whatever you had before.
I have the same problem with my Desire that the Auto Brightness doesn't go all the way down and the HTC Denmark support basically just said meh. And said they would report it as a wish for future updates.

This app is great! Thank you!
I have my phone on autobacklight, but I find that in dark settings its too bright!!
This app does what I want with a simple click! Shame however that there's no way to reduce the lowest brightness on auto setting built into the OS.

do you guys know how to or what apps can change the auto adjust level? and please dont say just manually change it, i like to use the auto feature, its there so i can be lazy.

You can go to settings> display> brightness and set it to auto brightness, or you can get the app "Quick Settings" it has a bunch of toggles

I think the OP wants something similar to what's in Cyanogen roms. I think he wants to adjust how bright or dim it gets on certain light conditions. I think I saw an app called Luminous or something. Now I'm drawing a blank.

Maybe if you found the file that holds the values, you could pull and push the file till you find what you like?
EDIT:
Try this, maybe this will work. I think this is what I saw once.
Lux Auto Brightness
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vito.lux&hl=en
I think I might give it a try later on.
Juice defender has an option to set the brightness all the way from -80% to +150%. So autobrightness would have a larger (or smaller, if you prefer) range.

Have it. Recommend it. Slick app from a great responsive developer.
just use the notification bar
Hey guys
I found out that if you tap the notification bar on the top and slide your finger left or right, you can adjust brightness as you like. I think that is the easiest and quickest tip I found on this forum. not sure where I found it.. hope that helps..
^^ only works if the brightness toggle is off.. Awesome feature on sammys..

There is an app i am using that allows you to adjust the levels that the auto brightness use.
Called: LogGraph
it gives you a graph divided by roughly 12 steps of the brightness sensor so 0-12.
you can set the brightness level at each step the default (which i am using) is roughly:
Sensor% - Brightness level%
0-0
10-5
20-10
30-15
40-20
50-25
60-30
70-40
80-60
90-80
100-100

Thanks I was wondering why it didn't work.
Sent from my Hercules using XDA App
Reviving a slightly older thread here for some feedback.
Lux is a great and well designed app; I've been having issues with it - it doesn't seem to sample from the sensor (light or camera) when it wakes up, even though that is how I set it. I sent an e-mail to the developer, so hoping he can help me out. I also found it hard to understand the "levels" both in basic mode, and the lux/luma in advanced mode. I came from Cyanogenmod (on an Evo 4g) so I understand how the sensor works, but for some reason, whether it be the GS2 or Lux, the sensor does not seem to pick up a lot of variation in ambient light. I can cover up the sensor with my finger and the value that is getting doesn't seem to go below 2.
So I'm still struggling to get the auto-brightness (with an app or with the factory algorithm) to work properly compared to what I was able to get on my Evo 4g w/ Cyanogenmod (which was perfect by the way - once I have it all set up, absolutely perfect auto-brightness).
Actually I edited the framework-res.apk file and that did the trick. I tried lux before but it still didn't work like the default auto brightness.
I'm just sayin!

I'm guessing this is something that can't be edited live or on the fly? It's got to be signed and flashed?
If that works, cool, but I'm totally hoping for an edit I can make live to system files from Root Explorer for instance.

Yes, currently this is the only way to achieve this. Supercurio mentioned in one of his post earlier that he was working on an app that would allow us to make these type of adjustments.

I believe you that Lux doesn't work like the factory auto-adjust...no matter what an app. developer does, you can't replicate the responsiveness of what would be in the framework.
Could you explain further the edits you did and what it corrected? I am a software developer and I can figure out the basics, just was looking for an idea of what you edited in there and the specifics to get me going.
Thanks in advance!

I basically followed what they did here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235212 to decompile the apk. I made adjustments to the value that represents the brightness under the lowest lighting conditions. I slightly increased the brightness under that value to help mask the blobs under low lit conditions. Hope this helps.

Yeah, saw that last night and just finished. Will probably need to dial in the values a bit to find what is optimal for me.
I'll post a Framework for others to use once I get mine all set. This is definitely the way to go for adjusting autobrightness.
My screen dim level is at 1 and my phone is still too bright. How could I reduce this even further so that sliding my brightness toggle in the notifications bar all the way to low will reduce the brightness even further? Is there not an option or a mod that allows you to pretty much dim your screen to complete darkness?

I see screen filter, the only problem I have with it is its persistent notification. As far as I can see there's no way to remove it. If I could get rid of the persistent notification I would set it to boot with tasker.
Suggestions to remove from notification?
Try lux auto brightness not sure if it has persistent notification or not.

Is there a way to lower the brightness set by the kernel or is this unchangeable?
Download screen calibrator and it works like a charm, you can also remove the icon from the status bar

Yeah I actually prefer the dropdown notification built into AOKP roms for brightness, but the lowest brightness is too bright. In a room with lights off, reading the amazon kindle before bed is pretty discomforting if you're trying to ease into sleep. Way too bright.
Apparently the only way to do it unless the screen filter author comes up with a way to get rid of that persistent notification/load on startup is to kernel hack, and personally for someone who isn't a developer/programmer, I wouldn't touch an opensource code with a stick
I have the same problem. The lowest brightness is still too high to read something with the lights off.
Hey, I think I actually found something.. do you have cm10? If you do, you can turn on screen filter normally then go to settings > apps > screen filter and uncheck "show notifications". That took away the persistent notification for me.
I don't know if you can do this in aopk.
i have a great solution (with a notification-so i will try your suggestion 386 once my rom is done backing up), but want to make my own personalized "build (apps, tweaks etc) thread". Where can I make it without getting slapped by the mods? In the galaxy s3 general thread or since most of it is can be done on different android phones in the the overall general thread?
Hello Together,
at night, when i am reading in bed or surfing with chrome the display is too bright.
Is there a app or tweak to reduce the minimum screen brightness?
I would prefer not to use an app with a filter overlay. It should really reduce the brightness.
I have read about such an feature with ElementalX Kernel. It did not worked so I changed to stock again.
THANK YOU,

Just disable adaptive brightness and adjust it manually to your liking.
Download the app f.lux , it sure makes the screen easy on my eyes at night
Thanks for your ideas.
Manual brightness lowest setting is no difference.
And i installed f.lux. I do Not like the settings.
Are there further ideas/possibilities?
What did not work with elementalx?
Did you install the kernel correctly and enable the backlight dimmer option? Works for me
Download this xposed module and lower the minimum brightness level.

ElementalX kernel has a feature which allows you to dim the display to a lower value than by default, you may want to check it out.
Try Twilight app
I found an app on Google Play called " TWILIGHT
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.lux
You set the time of day for the phone to dim - early in the morning and late at night. It dims the screen but also shades more reds on the screen as it's better for your eyes before sleep to decrease the bright lights. Been using it for 6 months and I like it. Occasionally - I get a warning of "screen overlay" when I'm using sime new apps that modify phone settings, but you can pause the app to modify settings - and reactivate the Twilight.
Give it a try..
Is there a way to brighten the ambient display, such as the clock and notifications that appear? I can barely see it in the sun. I had no problem seeing my moto z play in the sun.

If you go into settings / display there is a brightness slider that you can use to manually set the screen at a brighter level. I'm not sure if that recalibrates the base Android uses in its ambient settings or not. If you just are used to a brighter screen and find that the ambient setting continues to make the screen dimmer than you like after using the slider you can just turn the ambient display feature off entirely. I personally like the feature but a lot of people don't and just turn it off.
There are also apps in the Play Store that allow you to manually adjust the screen brightness without going into the settings menu, if you want to have easier control over it.

I know that the AOKP ROM allows alot of modifications to the ambient display brightness settings. Other ROMs may do the same but I know and use the settings on AOKP. It's a very good ROM! Native settings don't have the options.
AOKP and Pixel Dust are the two roms I know of that have this option.
You don't need a ROM to kick in higher brightness on auto brightness.
Just root and install ElementalX kernel or one based on it.
Then install this widget and once toggled, it will give you way more max brightness on auto brightness.

I noticed that my wife's phone has significantly brighter ambient display. They have identical settings as far as I can tell. So I'm not sure but I would love to find out the answer cause I want mine brighter too
Go to advanced display settings and toggle off the option to wake the screen with new notifications, then turn off the lift to view gesture. Your ambient display should brighten significantly.
I'm searching for an app or something to increase my lowest brightness because pixel 2xl screen is kinda sh*tty in very low brightness. All the apps that I can find offer only the opposite by applying a filter.
Anyone knows anything that can be done?

Are you stock or rooted??. If rooted, you can set minimum brightness levels with a custom kernel and the EXKM app :good:
I'm not sure I understand your question.
When set at it's lowest setting, the display brightness is not bright enough?
Why not move the slider to a little brighter of a setting?

Auto brightness at 50% still gets you crushed blacks? Can't test that now cause I'm on DP2 but I'm pretty sure when I had that same setting, it was too bright for me actually.

Try this to automate completely! :good: Integrates with Tasker and a tasker plugin named Twilight to change based on home or not, sun rise or sun down, travel speed (brighter walking / dimmer in a vehicle). Incrediable app, I've used it for 4-5 years on many devices. Does not require root but works well if you are rooted.
