[Battery saver] custom auto brightness

OK, so I'm testing out custom auto brightness settings to share with everyone to help improve battery life, its definitely a wip and I need testers to help find the perfect balance of darkness vs being able to see the screen clearly
Auto brightness settings can be found in "settings>display>custom backlight settings>edit other levels" in many custom roms just make sure screen dim level is set to 1 and use custom is checked

OK, so far I have the following settings which seem OK though might be a little dark, please test and report back
Only change values in the "screen" column
5
7
10

30
40
50
60
65
70
85
95
115
135
165
255
(Last value is just to ensure max brightness in very strong light)

Good to see someone already started this thread. I have some settings I collected from xda and android forums that have been working well so far for my needs...
Window Length: 5 seconds
Reset Threshold: 400Lux
Sample Interval: 2sec
Screen Dim Level: 5
Allow Light Decrease : Yes

If anyone can tweak these and get better results by all means do share!

Hi, i just tried these values, and for me its way to dark. I think that the display of the galaxy looks realy bad, if the value is under 1/4 of max.

I think most slots should be raised by 5-10 for best visibility but I would suggest adding a slot or 2 at the beginning of it for best low light (mainly nighttime) settings

Did you try my values? I think its a little easier to tweak some different light levels just to your liking, also the only thing that really doesn't look all that great are dark backgrounds on the home screen and launcher background but by raising some of the brightness levels by 5 or so at a time, its easily correctable... this is mainly to be a baseline guide since the stock values are wayyy to high in most cases
Fyi, before doing this I considered 2.5 hours on extended battery good, now I easily get 3+ even 4 hours on screen time with overclocking (1344 MHz) and interactive governor

I get 4 hours easy. I agree its a bit dark but I have no idea on what to modify because I don't really understand how its set up. To the guys who tried it already can you post your modified values that might be brighter ?

Just try upping the values in the "screen" column by 5-10...even with increasing by 10 its still far lower than stock (stock setting has 50 as lowest value when even 15-25 should be plenty bright
To determine what level you are currently on look at the very top for filtered/raw values and see which level they fit between the first 2 columns (lower and upper)

Ok I tried metalspring way and this is what I have now :
Window Length: 10 seconds

Oh I also have the color calibrated from franco kernel app using the values suggested in app so I'm REALLY liking this now. No gradient banding or grain, looks sweeet.
updated: after todays field test I modified the values to allow for gradual dimming as much as possible. I will keep tweaking and posting results here.

Hi, how can I get gradual change like stock does? More values? Less? I hate the pop high/low u get with this

does it happen to anyone else that changing the number of levels/steps for custom auto brightness from the stock 20 to anything less causes the screen go go MAX (255) brightness?

Not to bring back this thread, but this is the exact issue that has shown up in CM10 ROMs and reported by quite a few users. If you use any number of levels other than 20, brightness is locked to 255 no matter what your thresholds or sensor is registering. Have you found any workaround or fix for this?

I really thought I was the only one. I have NOT found a work around unfortunately. Rather, I've just stayed with the stock steps/levels all the while. the behaviour is still present, and I've not found any other resource or posts on the issue.

I have brought this up in another thread over at rootzwiki and others have chimed in. Perhaps I'll create a brand new thread to acknowledge it (as opposed to responding to relevant threads already created) since it doesn't appear to be getting traction in finding a solution.

[Q] Over in the corner..

We got root on the one xL. So, my question is How about this over clocking going on here? So I finally rooted, got a ROM, flashed a kernel.. Then bought SETCPU and turned it up to 1.9ghz. This seemed to work right well, but then I discovered a tool from chainfire and found that it wasn't sticking. So I was told about and edited this thermald.conf file.
But I wanna know, what temp was it that caused this to occur, and what I have just changed?
I've overclocked 3 phones now (8125/fuze/inspire) but none were this nice (dual core for example.) and this one gets warm. But I cannot tell how warm? And now I've even changed something and don't even know what. And it was related to warm.
Tl;dr how hard is are you Pushin yer phone?

CPU temperature

I'm over clocked at 1.89ghz with about 29-30° C temperature. Clock varies from 384 mhz to max clock speed. What's a good temperature for it to be at with both general and gaming use? Last thing I want to do is overheat or something, but it doesn't seem to get hot at all.
Sent from my Nexus 7

The app I used gave false reading. Cpu temperature is in between 40-50° C. Idk what's too hot when it comes to these, but I know PCs get a lot hotter.
Sent from my Nexus 7

40-50 is pretty cool. I don't know how warm these newer devices usually run, but I used to see a lot higher temps than that on my single core Galaxy S. I believe the N7 has thermal throttling, if it gets to XX degrees it will scale back the CPU, and if it keeps heating up will shut down at a specific temperature to prevent damage.

CurrentWidget logs to help me out with my battery

Hello everyone,
recently im having serious battery problems (random reboots with battery logo, 20-30% battery decrement).
Can someone attach a log made with CurrentWidget of a normal usage (normally 1 charge cycle from 100 to 20 for example)?
Basically i'm noticing that when the phone is absorbing significant amounts of current is becomes unstable
Example of a shutdown situation (need to charge in order to boot properly, green text)
