Thanks to this thread: click!, I've played a bit with the brightness settings.
You first need to enable automatic brightness. If not, your settings will only effect the touch buttons.
Then you go to cyanogenmod settings - display - automatic backlight - edit other levels.
Picture below is just a test, don't now if these are the best settings. Need to test it further. I can say 1024 is the highest for light sensor, tested under my desk lamp. If you don't need lighted touch buttons, set right column all to zero.
What I can say, the screen is the greatest user of battery, so tweaking these settings to optimal numbers will possibly help.

Do you use brightness levels shown in Guide for Desire?
Umm, I don't understand what to do here. Sorry I ain't that good with all this

I use my own values, based on testing. Light sensor is different on desire.
Edit values by clicking on it, after you changed all, press right top button.
Before modding values, hit button at bottom and enter 6.

Okay I am on CM7 and for the life of me I cannot use the volume keys to get silent. In the options it lets me take off vibrate and just have silent. I don't understand why something so easy is hard.
World peace with no regard for human life.
Go to Settings -> CM settings -> Sound -> Check silent state. With that enabled, pressing volume down once you're at 0 should take you first to vibrate, then to full silent mode.
That worked. Never thought CM7 would have it's own sound settings along with the normal settings. I had to go back, put vibrate to always and check that box in cmsound. Thanks man.
World peace with no regard for human life.
No problem! Yeah, there are a lot of useful settings in the cm section. Sometimes it does seem it'd make more sense to integrate it into the main settings screens though.

*went through all cmsettings* Yep, lot in here. I'm constantly looking for a new way to appreciate my phone. Sometimes I do not like it and want to switch to a new phone.

Quick question. How well does the auto-brightness work and when indoors, about what percentage brightness does it stay on?

imo the stock autobrighntess settings from HTC are FAR too high.
independent if its dark or bright outside.
even when you are in a dark room the stock autobrightness settings wont got to the lowest screen brightness. Really dont know why HTC is doing it like that.
if you unlocked your device you can flash a custom rom though.
With them it is possible to lower that values.
in my rom for example I included an interface which alows you to set each step of teh autobrighntness setting:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Can I just root it and alter the brightness settings, or do I need a custom rom?

Just rooting doesn't give option to set autobrightness alter option you need charmeleon rom to do that
Download the rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625816 - Best rom ever seen!
For some day now I have been fooling around and learning how to modify APK files and such so I could finally fix the Torch app included with Wayland_Ace's CM10.1 for the Galaxy Ace.
I noticed that the Strobe Frequency Slider was being messed up by some of the margins and I also decided I would decompile the source and remove the options for High Brightness in the main app and the widget options because it does not work on the Galaxy Ace. After a few hours of setting everything up and fooling around with the source, I've managed to accomplish what I was going for.
This is what it looks like now:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Basically, I hid the high brightness option in the main app and removed the warning about it in the initial popup and the about view, because with the option removed you don't need to be warned. I also went into the source and XML and removed the high brightness option from the widget options. Finally, I fixed the margins on the strobe slider so it was no longer messed up, and I centered the light bulb better.
_____________________________________________________________
Simply boot into CWM and flash the file attached below. This was created from the Torch app from Wayland_Ace's CM10.1 ROM and has only been tested on his CM10.1 ROM on a Galaxy Ace. I doubt it will work for other devices. It's up to you if you want to try it and if you do, make a backup of your current Torch app just in case.
EDIT: Yeah, so mods, feel free to delete this thread.
Hey all, I would like to find a way to be able to adjust screen brightness just by grabbing and holding the notification bar. Apparently this is the way TouchWiz does things (it used to be on my old phone, an LG p500 with I think CM 10.0, but it might have been in CM7.x).

(Image is from here).
I've seen several mods that require flashing in CWM, but I believe these are ROM/device dependant.
I've also seen a few apps that give similar functionality, but they just don't fit. Especially when we can have a Brightness toggle in the Quick Settings Panel.
Is there a way to mod this onto our phones? I've tried peeking into the flashable zip files from other places, but trying to parse everything that's going on there is well above my head. Even if someone can just point me in the right direction, that'd be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
P.S.- Auto-brightness is disabled.

...#$%&. My bad lol.
Is there a way to enable screen brightness on the notification bar? I miss this feature from the LG g2.
I thought it's already there by default?
From what I'm reading, the ATT G3 doesn't have it at all (no option to enable it either).
Hit the edit button at the end of the quick toggles. There is an option to enable the brightness slider, at least on the T-Mobile G3.

Yes, I have the AT&T g3 and I can't seem to find the option. Now I know they removed it completely.
AT&T phone doesn't have that as an option...

Move the brightness over on the first page of the toggles. If you hold it it takes you to the setting. It's an extra step, but still not that bad.
If that doesn't work for you try Lux. You can set any space on the screen to adjust the brightness by sliding. Would work good on part of the status bar. You can also set your own values to auto adjust. Just some thoughts. [emoji6]
Sprint version doesn't have the slider option either unfortunately.
This is a duplicate thread I posted this question earlier.
