Hello scalikano,
Good Question .
i am using tasker coz if we use only lux, then it will run periodically in background for light reading. running lux periodically will drain battery and one more reason for using tasker is sometimes androids default task killing system kills lux service, so than lux will stop working until you restart it, tasker helps to keep it alive, so when ever you turn your phones display on tasker and lux will adjust screen brightness to its best....:highfive:
thanx for the update ..friend.
it is a good solution.
i dont have that problem battery draining or task killer issue.
i use lux on wake-up mode (lux only works when u unlock ur screen) n ignore lux in the task killer..thats another solution..thanx

+1 same here. Though, I'm trying to understand how to use Lux properly, I mean: in a sunny day, outside, I need the brightness at 80%/100%, else I can't see anything on screen. At night time, viceversa, low brightness.
Now: I can set these low/top values, but, what can I do for average Luma values? Am I clear?
first adjust lux on-wake mode with settings wizard in setup.
then go to sample collection select camera and front camera and check ''ignore 0 lux settings''
in general setting, offscreen button backlight should be ON.
fade brightness changes checked,
jitter control checked
manual call brightness checked
persistent notification checked
and widget opens dashboard checked.
now put lux widget on your homescreen.when u click on widget lux dashboard will be open.
in the middle of the dashboard u will see a circle with yellow line to link brightness value to luma value
just press link button to fix ur brightness to that luma value.
it means according to changing environmental brightness u can adjust the brightness value by dragging line forward or back and make a link that luma value and after several times of linking it automatically comes to that brightness u had linked before.
so, no need to add one by one the values in luma.
i use lux like this way.
it is so simple.just link some values e.g. in the room at night light, in the noon outside,
sorry for my bad english i tried to explain in detailed as can as i do.
TY, I'll try your settings! :highfive:
EDIT: why Offscreen button backlight ON? I mean, it keeps softkeys always on, while, to save battery, I always keep them disabled.. uhm?

no it does not mean sofkeys always on.
it means when u are on lockscreen lux will work after u press menu button when on slide or pattern or other lockscreen mode.
otherwise after locking ur screen, brightness will not be increased by lux if u dont check that option and u are not able to see pattern to unlock under sun light.

Okay, I see, but, actually, if I enable it, it keeps softkeys on, or that happens only to me? That's why I disabled it.
in phone /settings /lockscreen/ adjust it to 6 seconds...no problem.
softkeys will be turned off after 6 seconds and it will not effect lux working

I've adjusted it to 5 sec (no way to set it at 6 -- ?), yet, softkeys would not switch off, and stay on all the time.. what do I do wrong?
sorry for mistake way...
settings-display-more settings-touch key light duration..6 seconds is there but i just gave it as an example.it does not matter u can turn it ''always off''
---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------
u can try different ways..lux will work on lockscreen mode if selected in lux settings.
no worry..just play with ur phone.

As you said.. give it a go! I downloaded it for my gt-I8190, it uses front camera as light sensor, it works, I like it.
If so, follow scaliskano's steps. :good:
In the paid version of lux you can use the front camera as a lightsensor. Works like a charm for me. There's a thread dedicated on this subject. Don't have it at hand, just search for it.

Hello digandro,
first of all let me know you that lux is not compatible with GB or lower roms, so if your device rom is GB or lower then you will not be able to use lux.
I wonder how this affects the battery life? Any feedback on this?

Hi,
I always dim my screen 15-20% lower then the automatic mode do. Can i set it permanently lower between the lux-variables which are linked to 0-80% screen brightness?
Is this understandable?
For example: 20% screen brightness is set to 140lux
50% to 250lux.
I want to increase the lux or reduce the %.
It was so simple on my old Nexus 5 with Cyanogenmod ;D
Is there a xposed module or a app to edit the settings?
I dont want a app-icon in statusbar or a widget.
Thanks

Lux Auto Brightness app can do that but it's paid (not necessarily)
But with Lux i always have a ugly symbol in statusbar and it doesnt work like i want it to work.
What settings i should make in Lux?
GravityBox Xposed Module
As title, whenever I open the Camera app, the brightness changed to max level, is there anyway to disable it ? Thanks
It is really inconvenient to hv forced max brightness when using stock camera app. I cannot find a way to turn it off, but you can temporarily fix by openning the cam app, scroll down from the top and adjust the brightness, then, the brightness will be normal until you restart the cam app. You may also consider to install Google Cam app mod, which is available here in XDA (thx for the developers)
You can override it using other app, called Applock. It has function to override app brightness setting. It also can lock your app using PIN, password and biometrics.
I just updated to Android 13 and the Camera app seems to fix this there's also a setting to activate/deactivate "more brightness" in Camera app
