[Q] Plz help me to change low/dim backlight config, I have Backlight flickering issse

Hello,
I recently bought used in mint HTC Desire. It had already S-OFF'ed, Rooted, Recovery Installed (CWM) and Custom ROM flashed (MIUI).
After few days, I noticed the issue of screen backlight is flickering when I set manual brightness setting to low or dim. Mostly at night times. Though could be ROM issue but when I flashed different ROM, there issue persists.
Later of researching, found that this is known issue in mostly Desire Z. When I set above 31%, backlight won't flicker so it means the LCD tolerance of low voltage is not good.
Now I cannot send it back for warranty as its 2nd hand and I don't have bill. Of course, international purchase.
I use 3rd party app to set 31% whereas default low setting is 20%. I would like to modify the default low brightness setting to 31% so that I can use default brightness manual slider and won't be needing of 3rd party apps.
Can anybody please help me where I can find the setting file? Or atleast a app to modify it.
Thanks...
Best Regards

Please help guys!!!
Thanks...

Sebastian today uploaded new mod for auto-brightness settings...haven't tested it very well yet, but give it a try. It's downloadable from addons (names include "autobrightness", don't forget to chose correct HBOOT).

Yeah noticed. I just downloaded and flashed v5.0.2 few hours before he released v5.0.3.
However, I don't think that will solve my LCD flickering issue because my LCD is faulty or doesn't work with low back light (tolerance), otherwise.
Backlight percent shouldn't go below 31% otherwise, my lcd starts to flicker. Default low setting is 20 I guess.
Thanks...

Thanks. I was doing that itself while you posted!
First time I used APKMultiTool to modify framework-res.apk and when I pushed to phone and reboot, it sucked at animation loop.
Had to reflash to get back to working device. Then I tried Apk Manager 4.9. Pushed the file and after reboot device is working fine.
But still same issue.
Things I have modified:
config_lowest_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValuesDown
config_lowest_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValuesUp
config_lowest_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues
Edited to 31 lowest in place of 30.
Edit: looks like thats different or otherwise related to auto brightness setting. Mine is with manual brightness setting. Anybody know where that will be?
Thanks...
Best Regards

did you wipe dalvik? I could be related to rc tweaks too as they have commands how to control those numbers... I don't that knowledge just learning that...

No, thats different. Its auto brightness settings. Do you see or used Default, Lower and Lowest option in rc tweaks? Yes those settings are found in framework-res.apk. Thats what I have edited but it will not change manual brightness setting bar (in quick settings).
I guess manual brightness setting should be in kernel.

Im using Lower option and Im happy with it... Lowest is too low for me... try pm Droidzone he made kernel for seb15...

Wish my device was also same but its LCD has low backlight tolerance issue. And the device is 2nd hand nor I have money to buy new lcd. Thats why I'm struggling to fix it myself.
Tried some 3rd party apps. Worked fine but they didn't suited well for daily usage.
Droidzone has disabled PM and seb15 has denied asking questions via PM. I tried to post the issue in his thread but no body responded.
Thanks...

tried to ask on his website?
or try to flash snq kernel, maybe there is a tiny difference

[Q] Brightness

Hey. (sorry for my poor English)
I think about buying an LG G3, but the brightness is a big disadvantage for me.
I want to know if is it possible to increase the brightness of this phone. (maybe LG is working on an update which includes fix for this issue?)

Yes, once your devise is rooted, you can change the brightness in the build properties with Rom Toolbox. But, be warned that if you are not familiar with this you should avoid changing build properties. If you don't know what you are doing you can really screw up your phone.

Probably not, as the brightness for most people is fine. You may be in a group of select few who think the brightness is to low. Make sure your auto brightness is off and turn it all the way up. You will however compromise battery with the brightness turned all the way up.

I happen to think in most situations the auto-brightness selects too low a value, however in general (manual control) it is more than sufficiently bright, even in direct beach sun.

Do you guys notice that auto brightness still On even when its turn off, i mean when certain images on screen change, the brightness change a bit depending on how dark or light the image is... Has nothing to do with light around you.

i dont know any fix but have you changed any thing in your phone
installed any conflicting brightness or some sort of keep device wake up kind of apps
last thing you can do is take a back up of your current states
then do a fresh install wipe every thing
that can solve your issue
coz from where i can see settings for sensor is messed up

I'm using xperia z ultra and having the same issue, had this problem on 4.4 and 4.3 but never on 4.2. I guess its a 'feature' called Content Adaptive Backlight (google it) and can't be disabled.

Annoying Ass Issues w/ Mate 20X.. Hope You Guys Can Help

I'm planning to buy this phone. But bugs keep me from buying it. I shouldnt spend $700 with stupid issues it shouldnt have. Hope you guys know of a fix....
1. Can I turn off auto brightness without rebooting? Why no toggle for it in status bar?
2. No dark notifications... why aren't notifications dark?
3. Why does the EMUI look so outdated?
4. Some features not working with 3rd party launchers like Nova. Is there a fix?
Dont mean to sound like an ass. But I shouldnt have to invest almost a grand for a phone with issues other phones dont have. Its ridiculous. If you guys have solutions to these issues please let me know. Hope to join the huawei family without them.
.

The fact thet you're here in XDA tells me that you play more with your phone than keeping it bone stock.
1 - Nope, auto brightness isnalways ON which I find stupid.
2 - There is Dark mode that turn the system UI black including Notification panel but not Notification Banner.
3 - I hate EMUI
4 - You can't change launcher on most recent update and there no fix to that. You can on older version like 9.1.0.120 but you need an unlocked bootloader and root.
So do your self a favor and stay away from any Huawei Device and go with Oneplus or Xiaomi

Have bought this phone (UK version) but yet to recieve it.
Not being able to change launcher, is that an issue just for the china version or the international version too on the latest update? That would be a biggie.
Also are there any issues with notifications not getting through all the time (an affliction a lot of Huawei phones suffer from). I had the Honor note 8 (Chinese) and this issue made it infuriating to use. A phone without notifications working properly is a dumb rather than a smart phone in my book.
Lastly one of the best bits about the Honor Note 8 was the ability to clear the notifications by double tapping on the finger print sensor. Do you have that on the Mate 20 X?

I'm planning to buy this phone. But bugs keep me from buying it. I shouldnt spend $700 with stupid issues it shouldnt have. Hope you guys know of a fix....
1. Can I turn off auto brightness without rebooting? Why no toggle for it in status bar?
Dunno, brightness never bothered me
2. No dark notifications... why aren't notifications dark?
who said that ? THEMES !! it comes will all sort of colors, just download huawei theme manager from playstore, it also including fonts as well
there is also a theme editor from the playstore where you mix and match and come up with your favorite theme all from your phone.
3. Why does the EMUI look so outdated?
because it is ! next month they are releasing a new version where they copied alot from OneUI, which is a good thing and they focused on smoothness and cleaner UI
4. Some features not working with 3rd party launchers like Nova. Is there a fix?
i am using nova, i think this is a chinese version issue not global

i have it for almost 4 months, and i got the note10+ with my renewal and trust me, i sold it without even opening the box. nothing comes close to Mate 20x as a complete package these days, its really fast, battery lasts forever, great screen, amazing camera, amazing charging speeds and one of a kind speakers.

What do you mean?? The notifications drop down is dark. But the notifications banner color is white! Is there any way to get this to turn dark? Does the Power Shade app work as a solution?

Are you sure about that? Auto brightness is disabled until after a reboot.

What I was saying is that one can turn auto bright off but it resets to auto of reboot, that's what I think.

Auto brightness turns on after every reboot but you can toggle it off. It stays off until you reboot the phone again.

PS: yeah, pretty sure not being able to change Launcher is only a Chinese problem. Cause I'm able to change it on my Mate 20 X in USA. I used to use Rootless launcher for quite a bit. But switched back because of the ? animations.
(Quite jealous of the OnePlus animations and gestures control. I miss them from my OP 5T)

You can toggle it ON/OFF whenever. It does not require a reboot. Adaptive brightness turns ON anytime the device is rebooted. It is not such a big deal do not worry about it if you are going to buy the device.
