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.

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.

How to turn off auto dimming?

Wallpapers

Just want to ask fellow xda members for help and opinion. Im using the same picture on my homescreen and lock screen but I have noticed that the quality of the picture on the lockscreen is nit as clear or as sharp as the one on my home screen even though im using the same picture. Any ideas?

Most likely you have the "Ripple Effect" enabled, just go into lock screen settings and disable it.

Ive tried the method u told me and it does help a bit, still not as clear as if I use the picture as home screen but better that if I have the ripple effect on. Thanks for the great advice.

No if the ROM doesn't have option to disable vibration from lock screen, I think there isn't any apps which can disable it...

Custom ROM allow to do it.

By vibrations do you mean like how it vibrates when you touch? I think you can disable vibrating while ringing but still keep that on.
