[Q] Screen Brightness

hi, i'm using HTC Desire HD with leedroid rom and kernel.
i read that to save more battery, i must turn down the screen brightness to a low level. but i want to use the auto brightness function but sometimes it isnt accurate to the environment(sorry for bad english). uhm any tweaks or mods that has customized auto brightness? thanks in advance guys

I found that the best thing to do is to do it manualy by using the brightness level app on the market which has a slider on it.

I use Tasker to set the screen brightness to levels defined by me in response to ambient light levels. Takes some experimentation to get it working right, but it's worth it.

Or then you can switch to CM7 as it has all screen adjustments built in the settings i.e automatic screen dimming level adjustments, different levels etc etc.

Low Brightness?

First of all, yes i turned autobrightness off and turned it manually up to the max, but i think that the brightnes goes down in some apps or the brightnes is just kinda low on the note 2? i am on this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2259479

Brightness level on all Samsung phones is good... that ROM uses a lot of dark/black themes... so my guess is just the apps that are dark themed will appear lower in brightness.
However do check (in settings) your Screen mode.. if it is set to standard or Dynamic...check Brightness settings (in settings again, not toggles) to see if Auto is set and where the "line dot" is set... and further down check if you have "Auto adjust screen tone" checked.
But you have enough post counts to ask in that ROM thread for better answers. Good luck!

Yeah, I've also noticed low brightness on stock based 4.3 ROM.You may use some other apps to control it (never tried them).
However now I'm on miui and the brightness adapt seems much better.

screen to dark?

Hi folks,
t800 stock rom with nova launcher. Find the screen brightness a bit dim, have set to auto brightness with +3
Anyone else find the auto brightness naff?
Cheers

For me when using auto brightness its a bit darker then without it. Without auto bright ness on and setting it halfway its a bit brighter. Of course amoled makes blacks darker or exactly black.

Adjust ambient display brightness?

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.

Manually set minimum brightness

Hi all!
Is there any way for setting the minimum brightness to a specific value?
When in low light conditions, the brightness is set to extremely low using automatic brightness. I don't want to change it manually every time but it can be solved setting a specific value.
I don't see any adjust in developer settings.
It happens in both, stock and paranoid android.
Thanks in advance.
