Hello,
There is currently a mod floating around in the development forum that lets you change the lowest brightness setting for the screen when in automatic mode.
Does anyone know if it is possible to adjust the brightness of the soft buttons also? Would be nice to have those change brightness depending on ambient light too as they sort of bleed through the bottom of the screen when its dark for me.....
Roger that! I am also eagerly expecting a mod to change the capacitive button brightness.. Its so bright and distinct when I match movies!

Hi,
automatic backlight is still too bright for me in almost any environment. I want to control the brightness of the screen by setting other values.
Is there an app or a hack to do this?
Good question. Loved to know too!
Look under widgets and you will find one called
"Brightness"
I'll let you figure the rest out for yourself

Try to using
Brightenes Level App
I recommend "SwitchPro Widget", which is available from the Marketplace. It allows you to toggle the brightnees, even to levels lower than the automatic setting.
Hi, i dont want to change brightness manually, but want to change the default values which are used for automatic brightness. Is this possible?
Does no one knows??
Hmmm would be handy!

Perhaps you could put some tinted glass/plastic over the sensor, so the phone thinks it's darker than it actually is and doesn't make the screen as bright?

good idea, but that's not the resolution, even in night it's very bright and for me even at manual 1% brightness it's a bit to bright for me...
would be awesome to have more possibilities to work with the amoled screen - by the way - for black it needs 0% energy so better to read white letters on black background
edit: me using "Quick Settings" to handle brightness etc.
Hi I am using dimmer lite download frm market place suits my usage

I would like the automatic brightness to be just a bit more brighter when im outside. Would be great to be able to adjust it!!
If there was something like a -2 -1 0 +1 +2 way to adjust it!
Dont want manually keep setting the brightness all the time.
I just tried the app called Dimmer.
It is perfect.
Goes to a very low setting and then switches back to whatever you had before.
I have the same problem with my Desire that the Auto Brightness doesn't go all the way down and the HTC Denmark support basically just said meh. And said they would report it as a wish for future updates.

This app is great! Thank you!
I have my phone on autobacklight, but I find that in dark settings its too bright!!
This app does what I want with a simple click! Shame however that there's no way to reduce the lowest brightness on auto setting built into the OS.
Hi
I was wondering if there was an app with which i can turn off the backlight like when u click on clock app and put on desk clock mode by tapping or few secs before the screen goes off ??
is there way to toggle that ?
What exactly do you want to do? turn down brightness when on desk clock? that is already done automatically as far as i can tell.
AMOLED screens don't have a backlight. Each pixel has it's own light source. That's why the blacks are so black, the screen is actually off in black areas.

The clock just makes everything darker. The GN doesn't have a backlight anyway, as it's a (super) amoled screen.

AMOLED/OLED screens also burn when left on the same image for a long period, would not recommend using as a desk clock as stated in OP, you will end up with burnt images where your buttons are, and any other static part of screen

The are a few brightness toggle widgets available, android comes with one built-in, power control allows customization of the brightness level so that you can go say from Max brightness to min brightness in one tap. Rom Control in the Android Open Kang Project allows for adjusting the brightness, order, and number of navigation bar buttons independent of the overall screen brightness.
My screen dim level is at 1 and my phone is still too bright. How could I reduce this even further so that sliding my brightness toggle in the notifications bar all the way to low will reduce the brightness even further? Is there not an option or a mod that allows you to pretty much dim your screen to complete darkness?

screen filter from playstore

I see screen filter, the only problem I have with it is its persistent notification. As far as I can see there's no way to remove it. If I could get rid of the persistent notification I would set it to boot with tasker.
Suggestions to remove from notification?
Try lux auto brightness not sure if it has persistent notification or not.

I know about lux too, but it's not what I need.
Is there a way to lower the brightness set by the kernel or is this unchangeable?
Download screen calibrator and it works like a charm, you can also remove the icon from the status bar

I looked into this too, I believe the only option is screen filter or anything like it.. which makes no sense to me.
Lower brightness = better for eyes+battery

Yeah I actually prefer the dropdown notification built into AOKP roms for brightness, but the lowest brightness is too bright. In a room with lights off, reading the amazon kindle before bed is pretty discomforting if you're trying to ease into sleep. Way too bright.
Apparently the only way to do it unless the screen filter author comes up with a way to get rid of that persistent notification/load on startup is to kernel hack, and personally for someone who isn't a developer/programmer, I wouldn't touch an opensource code with a stick
I have the same problem. The lowest brightness is still too high to read something with the lights off.
Hey, I think I actually found something.. do you have cm10? If you do, you can turn on screen filter normally then go to settings > apps > screen filter and uncheck "show notifications". That took away the persistent notification for me.
I don't know if you can do this in aopk.
i have a great solution (with a notification-so i will try your suggestion 386 once my rom is done backing up), but want to make my own personalized "build (apps, tweaks etc) thread". Where can I make it without getting slapped by the mods? In the galaxy s3 general thread or since most of it is can be done on different android phones in the the overall general thread?
Has anyone found an option to reduce the brightness on the capacitive back lit task manager and back keys, using these in the dark is impossible, it would be useful to have them lit all the time but very dimly so they could just be seen.
hmm, I guess not... think this would be really useful.

I agree, that would be a great feature.
Is there a way to brighten the ambient display, such as the clock and notifications that appear? I can barely see it in the sun. I had no problem seeing my moto z play in the sun.

If you go into settings / display there is a brightness slider that you can use to manually set the screen at a brighter level. I'm not sure if that recalibrates the base Android uses in its ambient settings or not. If you just are used to a brighter screen and find that the ambient setting continues to make the screen dimmer than you like after using the slider you can just turn the ambient display feature off entirely. I personally like the feature but a lot of people don't and just turn it off.
There are also apps in the Play Store that allow you to manually adjust the screen brightness without going into the settings menu, if you want to have easier control over it.

I know that the AOKP ROM allows alot of modifications to the ambient display brightness settings. Other ROMs may do the same but I know and use the settings on AOKP. It's a very good ROM! Native settings don't have the options.
AOKP and Pixel Dust are the two roms I know of that have this option.
You don't need a ROM to kick in higher brightness on auto brightness.
Just root and install ElementalX kernel or one based on it.
Then install this widget and once toggled, it will give you way more max brightness on auto brightness.

I noticed that my wife's phone has significantly brighter ambient display. They have identical settings as far as I can tell. So I'm not sure but I would love to find out the answer cause I want mine brighter too
Go to advanced display settings and toggle off the option to wake the screen with new notifications, then turn off the lift to view gesture. Your ambient display should brighten significantly.
