Display Brightness

So I don't know if it's just me but even on its lowest setting, the SGS3 display is very bright.
Would it be possible for someone to make a script so we can lower the brightness a bit more?
In a brightly lit room on the lowest setting its very bright to me, so I wish to lower it in those times to save battery life.
Is there an after market app that can do this?

There's an app called screen filter which can make it darker. It's free I believe.

Lux is a great auto brightness app that can also be used to manually adjust the brightness down until the screen is almost not visible.

Damn, I'm actually pretty interested in this too. Guess you can always turn them off.

Not that I've seen. I just turned them off and enabled haptic feedback for them instead.

guess I'll have to give up flashed a zip to just permanently disable them.

Tried that but that just turns the blue led off. I want the led but don't want the screen to light up.

Try Settings/Blocking Mode/Notifications Off

Quick Q about the LED... is it able to change colors like Motorola ones? Or is it always blue?

How to lower brightness even further?

I put my dim level and brightness down to as far as they can go down and the homescreen is dimmed fine but I notice in the dark, opening a browser or a program that my brightness is pertty high and enough to keep me awake. How would I do this in AOKP roms and is there a good program to help me tweak it down further?
Any apps to control brightness by app?

I think there's a feature in the ktweaker app on KToonz's kernel that will let you drop brightness further. That's the only place I've seen it.

+1 for screen filter. I have been using it for a long time and it's been great.

Lux also allows you to go lower on brightness. It also does auto brightness way better than the stock touch wiz.

I really wish there was an app that put sepia/lowered brightness all in one app and hopefully a dropdown notification bar. I mean along iwth cell standby display tends to be the main culprit of battery drain.
Would be nice to have an app like that. DEV it

You can also use rootdim

Thanks for that, I knew about Screen Filter but I was looking for something that would actually dim the backlight instead of just overlaying on the display.

Screen dimming?

Is there a way to disable screen dimming on full brightness?

Do you have power save mode set on or auto dimming set on? Check your settings. There is a separate setting for auto dimming in Display (second tab in settings) and on the last tab of settings you will find power save.
Personally I use Tasker to control my screen display.
