Anyone able to make a backlight setting plugin for Titanium. It would be like the Cvolume plugin as you shift the panel to the left and the right you get different backlight brightness settings.
I realize that the limitations of the Titanium home screen will not allow sliders, but maybe a 5 stop rotation of presets...ie full bright -- 4 -- 3 -- 2 -- Low brightness.
Is this possible? I adjust the brightness on my phone a lot, and going through the top, then into the power settings is too difficult in the bright sun, when the screen is set fairly dark. I have searched but have not found anything.
Thanks
Kevin
Request seconded.
The best that I have found is to create an icon for the backlight settings tab and place the icon into the Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder. Then move the icon into one of the corners.

Like many others I really dislike all the wasted space on the stock Samsung notification panel. While I haven't found a way to remove the buttons, I did find a way to remove the brightness slider.
Download and install Lux Light - After enabling it, Lux Light will replace the system brightness slider in the notification panel with its own.
Enter the Lux Light settings and disable the persistent notification. - Under Advanced, uncheck Persistent notification.
Enjoy.

Thank you for this. Since this can control the screen temperature that makes another reason I don't need root.
Are there any existing mods for the 5t notification slider? Preferably something to change it all together like screen brightness : normal >adaptive>night?
I personally find the ringtone volume settings useless, as I keep it on medium volume. But I do change work shifts monthly and it makes setting a screen brightness schedule more of a task.
Is it possible to bring down the brightness toggle so it can be reached with one hand without root? I use auto brightness but sometimes have to adjust it manually as it's not very accurate all the time.
As a work around I switch on one handed mode and move it this way which is a bit awkward.
Super staus bar is working for me until (hopefully) Gravitybox comes out for A12.

Almost certain not what you want, and definite overkill, but you could use Bottom Status Bar and only enable the brightness slider (and not the literal bottom status bar). The downside is that, unlike the native brightness slider, changing the brightness through Bottom Status Bar turns Auto brightness off. You could enable the brightness slider in it, and a Auto-Brightness toggle switch, but then you'd have to get used to manually turning auto-brightness back on. There are probably more complex things you could do with automation apps (Tasker, etc) but that would likely require root where Bottom Status Bar doesn't for these purposes. The good side is at least the brightness slider would be very available from the bottom of the screen. I hope a stock ADB and/or root solution comes eventually for the stock ROM. There's not too often a time I want to change it manually, but having to slide down twice to get to it is crazy.
Edit: @westhaking beat me. Super Status Bar is by the same author as Bottom Status Bar, but I don't remember what one has that the other doesn't, so perhaps go by his recommendation first unless you like the idea of BSB better, or SSB doesn't quite do it for you.
Just a guess that SSB probably has the same weakness I found in BSB, that using its brightness slider abilities disables automatic brightness.
BSB works quite well, thank you. Did not know about its existence. You are right, it switches off automatic brightness but it can be switched back again in BSB near brightness toggle. Can be good as a temporary solution.
Another workaround is an accessibility shortcut which is an eye sore but can be also used for switching volume and screen off.

Nice! I didn't expect it can be achieved without root and GravityBox and was looking for the solution for a long time. Thank you so much for bringing this app to my attention. Adjusting brightness by dragging along status bar is awesome!

Awesome, glad you found a temporary workaround. Here's hoping there'll be a better permanent solution for us all, eventually. I wish I was a real Dev. I can only repackage stuff...sometimes. I just don't have the patience to learn enough to be a Dev.

I just swipe down from the top twice and the brightness slider is there.

It's still stays at the top of the screen

I guess you can't reach the top of the screen in one handed mode.
Perplexed how nobody at Google development realised what an utterly stupid place the brightness bar is.
I usually turn off the auto luminosity because I don't like it changing when inside.
The punishment is that when I go outside in a sunny day, I see nothing on the screen and I would like to fix it without fumbling for minutes trying to find a dark corner in the street so that I can raise the luminosity again. Something like gesturelike, for instance finger.s moving up the screen raise luminosity.

There are apps to control the brightness using a gesture in the status bar.

This one asks too much privilege for my taste (only my passsword manager has accessibility access rights). I'd rather have something in the OS do that because I think apps will need accessibility access to capture gestures !?
