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,
Cryous

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

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

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.

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

Superdim is only for LCD screens according to market info.?!
Do the touch key lights just stay off when the phone is low on battery because right now mine are off and I have it on always on but my battery is very low.

If you do not use any batterh saver app, the system just acts as you set up it on settings > display > touch key light duration
You can change the time from there.

But if your touch light is always off on low battery then you may need to check wether any application is intercepting your default settings.

you did not answer my question...
it happened when my phone went into critical mode maybe it was just an bug because after it died and I turned it back on they were on.
My second post. Which rom are you using? If you do not use any tweaked version nor any battery saver app, system won't turn off the light.

Mine shut off once the battery gets critically low, also screen dims even though I have auto brightness off.
It makes sense why it does that though.
Hi,
I created a straight forward app to solve the problem I had with outdoor light.
Sometimes when I go to work I take out my phone , the screen brightness is too low, I barely see the settings all in all its a pain in the butt.
As I said it's straight forward you just click on the icon and it sets your brightness to maximum.
If your on auto brightness disable it otherwise the app won't workhttps://db.tt/2CfObAbN

I tried couple of these, one being luxe, another screen filter. While they both work fine I noticed that after they ran I loose ability to change screen brightness altogether until the phone it's reboot. Does anyone know a good solution for this?

You can easily turn lux off and adjust your brightness. Also, you can touch the + or - buttons in the Lux persistent notification and it'll brighten or darken your screen

I use screen filter and it allows me to adjust it all day. The only issue is when you try to download things the install button doesn't work. But who's prefect...
