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.
I'm new to Gnex, came from a Galaxy S Advance.
I noticed that the screen brightness from my Gnex on "Auto" is very dim - At least with Paranoidandroid 3.15 and AK Diamond 044 Stable.
Trickster MOD helped me to correct the colors, but not the brightness.
I found a lot of threads regarding this issue, also bugreports and blogposts, some referred me to apps like "lux" or "velis" to adjust the levels.
Now as Paranoid has that function built in "Settings -> Display -> Brightness -> Adjust" I wonder if someone else hassled with those controls and has some good results.
Here are my values, they are better than stock but not tested in an environment > 200lux.
Thank you for your shares!
Apps like Velis or YAAB are more intuitive for tuning auto-brightness than these CM type controls IMHO.

well, i dont like those apps, at least yaab runs as service in backgound and if it is running you are not able to set brightness with the brightness toggle in toolbar menu. But I admit it is laboriously (strange word... thx google) to set those values with the built in controls.
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.

About this app:
Refresh Rate Control: Easily control the max refresh rate (Hz) of android devices with multiple refresh rates (e.g. note20 ultra, s20/S20+/S20Ultra, z fold 2, s21/s21+/s21Ultra, tab S7/S7+). This app can limit max refresh rate to 96hz (or any available refresh rate) on supported smartphones - you can save power with negligible difference on smoothness. Use either the in-app toggle or quick settings tile - ADB setup or Root NOT needed.
Switch to High: Option to use High(Fixed) motion smoothness mode on Samsung devices with native Adaptive motion smoothness***
Current Samsung smartphones natively supporting adaptive refresh rates:
Galaxy Note 20 Ultra
Galaxy Z Fold 2
Galaxy S21, S21+, S21 Ultra
Refresh Rate Monitor: Observe how multiple refresh rates work on your device. Use either the in-app toggle or quick settings tile
Quick Resolution Switcher: Easily switch to any supported resolutions using the included quick setting tile***
Quick High/Adaptive on Power Saving Mode: Easily switch to high or adaptive motion smoothness mode (from Standard) even on power saving mode on supported Samsung smartphones.***
Force to Lowest Hz: Force lowest refresh rate on screen-off/AOD. This overrides Samsung's strange stock behavior which sets the refresh rate to the highest on screen off (update: it is now at 60hz since oneui3.0) - to improve standby power consumption a bit - ADB setup or Root NOT needed.
Auto apply power saving mode during screen-off***
Tasker plugin support: Automate GMH settings using Tasker plugin support. Supported actions/variables: Max Refresh Rate, Keep Motion Smoothness on PSM, Motion Smoothness Mode, Quick-doze Mod, Change Screen Resolution.
Ad-Free Exclusive Features:
Keep motion smoothness when power saving mode is enabled - either manually or by the system/adaptive power saving***
Adaptive refresh rate mod: Experimental adaptive refresh rate mod for devices supporting multiple refresh rates but do not have the native Adaptive motion smoothness (e.g. S20 series, S20FE, TabS7/S7+, A52, A72)***
Quick-doze mod: Quick doze mode during screen-off to improve standby power consumption***
Set minimum refresh rate for adaptive mode to 60hz or lower (if available)***
Resolution switcher filter: Filter what screen resolutions to include for the resolution switcher QS tile.
Statusbar net speed indicator

Isn't it possible to get the screen damaged/worn out, when its switching the refresh basically every couple of seconds?

I don't think so as long as it's switching only between supported refresh rates.

v7.13
Anti-flicker: added minimum brightness threshold for Adaptive mod similar to the native one. When the device's display brightness falls below the set minimum brightness threshold, adaptive mod will pause and will resume once the brightness increases again above the threshold. This is for devices who are experiencing flickers when refresh rate switches at certain low brightness level.Stability and bug fixes
