I came from the Epic 4G, and really, really miss this quick brightness control by holding and sliding along the status bar, a Samsung customization (I believe).
There are a lot of solutions out there, tried a few, and decided I really liked this one in the market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.curvefish.widgets.brightnesslevel
If you're a manual brightness dude like me (auto drives me nuts), give this a whirl. I put it down in the dock no GO Launcher, and I think I actually like it better than the Sammy feature on the Epic -- in addition to full control with a slider, there are some canned levels @ 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% that you can set with a button press (see screenshot). Most of the time, 0, 25, and 75 are good settings for me in different conditions.
Sure beats going through the settings menu tree!

Sammy had it the best. I'm dying without that slide on the notification bar. It's so much easier when you don't have to jump to the home screen or settings.

Agree completely. Hopefully a dev will implement a similar mod for the GN (not port and steal it from Sammy, unless it is in the public domain under the GNU license, in which case, port it over!!!)
In the meantime, the widget I found, which is free, comes about as close as you can get.
How about this?
The blue line underneath where it says brightness means that auto brightness is enabled, when it isn't the line to the right of it turns blue instead
Ive used a curvefish brightness control app on my DInc for a while. and Works great on my GNex
I use quick settings app.

Suggest you try 'OneClick Widget' by Wedroid. You can just tap the widget to go through 5 levels of brightness. Works like a charm. The pack includes widgets for other functions like airplane mode, wifi on/off etc. Widgets are customisable for colour and size. Works a treat.

Is there any way to get the power control in the notification bar? An app or mod.

I don't want my battery symbol to change or if it did it would have to only show the percentage of power on it. :s
all the mods I can find in that forum change the battery icon thing.
Download Widgetsoid from the market.
It has more options than you could probably dream of, and if you look carefully through the options when you create a new widget, you will see that you can choose to have the widget in the notification bar in addition of having it on your home, or to have the widget in the notification bar only
Looks cool. Wonder what the battery drain is like compared to the others.

I use Quick Settings from the market. It does everything I need and more. It stays in the notification bar, I click it, and get acess to all I need. I also use battery minder to show 1% step battery icon in the top bar. It shows up in the notification bar too.

I use only the switcher types, and I don't notice any battery drain
Indicator types (such as battery indicator) could expectedly drain some battery though, but I don't use them.
Here is what it looks like on my phone:

1st widget: Wifi on/off -- Bluetooth on/off -- GPS on/off -- Set brightness (with cutomizable levels)
2nd widget: Set ring mode -- Volume levels -- Mount/unmount sd -- Reboot (with the option to have a pop-up menu with turn off / normal reboot / hot reboot / recovery / bootloader)
You can decide how many switches you want on each widget, and there are MANY more available
And for each widget, you can decide if you want it on your home, or in your notification bar, or both
Is there a way to lower the minimum brightness of the screen?
I have tried several app, but even the rooted ones seemed only to create a filter of black pixels.
I'd like to actually lower the brightness, not simply create a filter.
I've tried Lux Auto Brightness, CF Lumen, but they didn't seem to work the way I want.
Can anyone help me please?

Try the autobrightness mod on these forums. It's here somewhere. There isn't a way to lower the screen lower than it can physically go without overlaying it.
Thanks mate. I tried this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/mod-lower-autobrightness-values-t3054000, but I can't really tell if it works or not, I'm gonna test it better once I get home!
Screen Filter
This is the best i've tried.
Screen Filter
This is the module's page in Xposed Module Repository
Very easy to turno on, and even easier to turn off.

Thanks for your answer, but Screen Filter seems to work by overlaying black pixels on the screens, that's not what I want. It is the perfect app if you have an amoled screen, but on the LG G3 isn't the best...

I see. I use it to read in my bead at night.
You seek for real hardware reduction. Good luck in your quest...
I use root dim (root) works pretty good at night
Disclaimer: I have no idea who makes this app and I get nothing for promoting it. I just think it is a nice addition to this phone.
Found what I consider a nice app for this phone. In the play store: Always on AMOLED.
It like the MOTO built in screen saver, but it only works plugged in and it doesn't show notifications. I was missing calls and messages. You have to touch the screen to bring up the home screen and see if there are any missed calls, etc.
This app has a lot of customization and works whether charging or not. I have my phone in a dock at my desk, so I can see the time and any new notifications at a glance. If it is not in the dock I can leave it face up and see the time, etc. or place it face down and the display turns off. If in your pocket or in a holster or other case that covers the screen the display turns off saving battery. I've gone almost a whole day without losing any charge because it was face down on my desk while I was out.
Pro's:
Nice customization choices
Home or lock screen don't come on when plugging in or unplugging
Can put date, time, battery level and weather on it if you choose
Notifications show and an optional pulsating blue border for a new notification
You can adjust the brightness of the display, but it doesn't automatically shift given lighting conditions (partly a con)
The display shifts around so as not to cause burn in
Con's:
If not plugged in and screen not covered, it will drain the battery faster
Pushing the power button does not bring up the home screen - you have to double tap the screen
There may be better options, let us know - I'm always looking for better options.
Cheers!
Update:
You can add a Samsung style dot to the screen to wake it up. Also, I added the music option so I can pause, or forward on the off screen. This app is just a black screen that runs all the time looking like a "off" screen. But the screen is actually on.

Hello all!
So basically i want this:
1st - I want this notification bar with all its icons to Auto-Hide ALWAYS, and show up only when i swipe it down,
and than after set amount of time to auto-hide.
2nd - I want this navigation bar at the bottom to also Auto-Hide ALWAYS also, and when i swipe UP to be shown,
and than after set amount of time to auto-hide.
1st 2nd

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So that's basically it.
How can i achieve that?
P.S.
So i am about to get my new phone "Samsung Galaxy A22 (4G)" in about 5 days, so i want to prepare for it.
Im buying glass protection, mask (something like this) and also, since its an AMOLED (OLED) screen, and It's known that OLED screens can get burn-ins,
(my other OLED phones already have burn-ins in some form or another) so i want to take care of it as much as i can, as i always did, but
what i noticed is that burn-ins on my previous devices are from navigation and notification bars mostly...actually ONLY from those two!
So i was thinking on removing those two to auto hide them.
There is a partial solution since i use NOVA launcher prime, it can hide notification bar but only
from home screen.
Whenever i'm in any other application it's shown again, unless that aplication it self hides it and go full screen, like youtube in full screen for example.
I want it to always be hidden unless i swipe it to be visible. Same with navigation bar. I want clean screen and only on demand bars.
Plus, i want it in generan even if its not OLED but more so with OLED!
Now here's the thing, i cant find a solution! I thought its a simple thing or that there is an option in settings,
but there is none. I also tried some play store apps, but they dissable keyboard and back button. Some even say i need to enable permission
by entering command from PC and so on... i dont wanna get some malware or whatever on my phone.
I came here for some elegant, simple solution without so many steps, and even if some permissions are needed i feel more comfortable you guys telling me i can safely do that than some sketchy app or tutorial online.
Thanks in advance guys!
I am a new s22 user, I have turned off all animations in the developer settings, all animations are turned off except when you swipe up from the bottom in any open app to go to the home screen, the app screen does a little animation and shrinks into the app icon. it's pretty annoying. it only happens in gesture navigation mode, if you change it to the button navigation bar, pressing the home screen button at the bottom shows no animation. does anyone else experience this? I did all sorts of searches online, but the results are not consistent, it feels like it's a problem related to the android 12 rather than Samsung and many pixel phones have the same issue.
If you want traditional virtual buttons, Galaxy store>Goodlock family of apps>Navstar
One Handed Operation plus is another Good Lock app that allows dozens of swipe gestures switches from the right/left sides. Very customizable and uses almost no battery.

All stock N10+ using the above options. Edge is also active and can be used in conjunction with One Handed Operation plus.
doesn't really answer my question though, do you have s22/android 12 phone? would you be able to confirm for me even all the animations are turned off in the developer setting, the back-to-home/minimize app gesture still shows annoying animation? thanks kindly to anyone who can confirm this for me (so that I know it's a system problem rather than a problem with my phone/software)

Yes this seems to be OS level. I get the same behavior on both my S22 Ultra and Tab S7; both running Android 12. I use Microsoft Launcher on both, so it's not a OneUI (at least I don't think it is) feature. There doesn't seem to be a way to turn it off. At least not without digging in to the OS.
