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_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"
}
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!

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.

thought this was worth a plug here.
as if my rom didn't have max brightness tweaked already..
if your brightness isn't low enough on those latenight face in your phone sessions..
saves my eyes, and without any official testing, i would have to say that it dramatically increases battery drainage for a heavy user like me.
with that said, i got this thing on at all times ..

Try Screen Filter. Same thing. Free. Should save battery on an OLED screen.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.haxor#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLmhheG9yIl0.
Both of you should try RootDim. It uses super user rights to take brightness below android defaults.
As a new user I can't link to it.

Just tried rootdim for the first time. Gotta say I'm looking it so far. Thank you for the suggestion

Umm I've been wondering if auto brightness improves or kills the battery ... By auto brightness , I mean the constant auto-detection of brightness to set the brightness of the screen . Not the brightness of the screen shown.

if you don't use ur phone at lowest brightness then autobrightness doe help a lot in saving battery
I mean ... =0= Not the brightness shown on the screen but the detection of surrounding lights
Autobrightness kills battery....for example if u r staying in the sun most of the time then it wont dim and hence u'll have a considerable battery drainage....auto brightness basically does what u cn do manually....toggle between brightness....i suggest u to do it manually....good luck

Don't forget that your cpu uses power to take readings from the sensor.

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).

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.
I want to get rid of the huge space when fully extending the notification panel, so when I pull it all the way down, the brightness bar is around the center of the screen, does anyone know a way to do this, with or without root.

Try using Galaxy Goodlock family of apps,
Quickstar. See if it can hide it for you...
Try notifications settings, try searching for "clock" in settings.
Quickstar hides the clock on my homescreen page, they may have added more options for Android 11/12.
On my N10+'s Android 9/10...
I will try that. Thank you.

That looks horrible. Is that Android 12?
13 will likely be worse.
On 9/10 it uses the space much better...
This was modified using Quickstar for the custom colors.
If you want to quickly access brightness control you can use One Handed Operation plus, Quicktools to do so.
Sadly there was no option for this, it seems to be essentially color type changes you can make
