Is there a file on the device that lets you edit the screen brightness in according to how much lux or light the sensor is picking up? Because when in the dark the values are still far too high.
Thanks
I was thinking exactly the same thing today... was wondering if there's an app for it.

No app for it unfortunately. There is an apk file you have to compile and edit. I'm fairly certain its the framework.res.apk but not totaly sure. Leedroid has modified the levels to a lower brightness in his rom and there was some discussion about how to do it in his thread but I don't recall the details offhand.

I've just installed Tasker... added a couple of profiles: one to set brightness to Auto if ambient light is 75 to 100, another to set brightness to low and Auto off if ambient light is 0 to 74. Works excellent so far...

I enable Screen Filter app whilst using the phone in dark. Much easier on eyes compared to stock settings.

I'm wondering if its possible to make the backlight lower then what is the lowest setting on the stock htc rom? If so, roms/apps that let me lower it?
Thanks,

Major overkill for just adjusting brighness, but Tasker can set these very low brightness levels as well - If you have other uses for Tasker automation, it's a very powerful app. On the Brightness front, it can be used to create brightness preset widgets, or widgets which popup a brightness selection menu, and of course to automate setting brightness based on any number of circumstances...
Tasker is paid thats overkill for just a simple task IMO.

Well read my below post
Actually, I waslooking for an app that allows me to turn off the backlight completely, or make it nearly so....adjustable brightness doesn't go any lower then the native widget

Just experimented with Tasker which allows you to set the brightness to a value from 0 to 255, setting a value of 1 didn't look too much dimmer than the dimmest that the system slider would set (on CM7, not stock) and setting 0 seemed to be the same as turning the screen off (CM7's screen off animation was displayed as the screen went blank.).
Hmmmmmm, well that's great....hopefully I can make an app that will do what I want

I'd love that app if you make it.

Its not liking me, I'm having a hard time keeping the screen from going off with the backlight
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Can you just set it so low that its basically off but not 100%?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Its not much better then the stock lowest. So I'm not sure about just the backlight being off being possible
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Is there a tweak to allow me to have a brightness of les than 10%?
Sometimes the lowest just isn't low enough. Brightness at 1% on a HP TouchPad is a great hack, Does well at 3am in bed unlike what feels like a blinding screen.

What RoM you using now? If its a Sense RoM I think your stuck with default setting. With MIUI RoM you can set all the brightness settings yourself.
Screen filter from the market is what I use.
You will get better results with an amoled screen.

Using CM7
Quick Settings says its at 1%...
Screen Filter I guess kinda works, It'd more like lights out mode on flash videos

Thanks for this app. Seems to be overriding system automatic brightness. Benefits are that you can set auto brightness to meet your requirements. Although it doesn't turn off back light keys for me.
I watch TV on my note 2 at night moat nights with pretty much no lighting anywhere near me and the screen just seems to bright sometimes. Is there a way to decrease the values? Does something like this already exist or can someone create something like this? I have seen mods that allow the increase of brightness but none to decrease it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Take a look at Lux Auto Brightness in Market... it has capability to use sub zero brightness for low light viewing
There are also screen filter apps that apply a transparent shade over the screen. I use lux, its great, but can be a pain to set up if you use auto brightness at all.

Screen filter is amazing. 23.5% works fine for me

There is an app called "Night Mode" it's simple to use and has worked better for me than the other screen filter apps like lux and others.
