Just wondering if anyone usues lux auto brightness and if there are profiles specifically for the galaxy s6. Any input is welcome.
I use it. Seems to be more accurate that the built in auto brightness. And as for profiles just make them to your liking. Only down side is that it will have to be turned off to grabt apps root permission.

Hello,
Is there an app similiar to lumos for windows mobile on android. Lumos is a custom brightness setting app which uses the light sensor. Lets say it is dark or I turn the lights off. I can set a custom brightness level such as 1 percent battery backlight. I really hate the default setting for auto brightness and was just wondering if there was an app similiar to lumos that uses the light sensor. I already know there are widgets that u can press but is there a way to make it usr the sensor so it can do this automatically? thanks
There was a bounty thread a while back on this. We just ended up setting up Tasker to do it. It works really well, and tasker is a great app to play with.
Also, CM6 has the ability to adjust auto brightness setting built in
Hey... I think this thing makes phone calls too!
When using the power widget and setting the display to "Auto Brightness" it seems that the lowest it will set to in the dark is 30-50% of the dimmest setting. Does anyone know how i can make it use the entire range for auto brightness?
For example, if im out at night or in a dark place, it should use the lowest possible setting available.
I assume it would need to be a custom rom for this?
you can use switchpro widget from the market to set these variables.
My tablet when on auto brightness becomes very dark in unlit rooms and I can barely see it videos or detail.

I am not sure if this works with stock roms, but if you install PhilZ touch recovery from the thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2367151
You have options in the advanced menu to change the response time for auto brightness. The default is 1 minute, you will need to tap about 4 times to get it down to 0, as it counts up to 5.
Which sped up the delay from going from one extreme to the other in ambient lighting.
If you install his custom roms you also get options to adjust the brightness intensity in 5 steps while auto brightness is on. I found this out after some time messing with my settings.

Lux Auto Brightness - perfect app for brightness tuning - you can set you own profile - matching desired screen brightness to sensor reading, and the process is very easy.
Short info, taken from app description:
Lux isn't your ordinary brightness app. It intelligently adjusts the brightness of your display based on the environment you're in. If, for example, you step into a dimly lit room, Lux will automatically lower the brightness of your display to make it not only comfortable to read, but to also preserve battery power.
Lux provides the option to automatically adjust the backlight at fixed intervals (periodic mode), when a change in environment is detected (dynamic mode), or when the phone wakes from sleep. It's also possible to adjust the backlight manually. Simply disable automatic mode and you can use it like a traditional brightness tool!
Perhaps the best thing about Lux is that you can teach it how to behave. If the backlight is too bright or dim for your liking, simply open the provided Dashboard, adjust the brightness slider to the level you desire, then hold the link button. Lux will use this new 'link' as a reference in future.
lux and velis both work. i paid for both, but i prefer lux.
I noticed that other Galaxy S4's have an adjuster for the auto brightness setting (-5 to 5) that way you can adjust how bright you want your screen to adjust. I was wondering if this is just specific for the tmobile version or all carriers? Maybe I'm just mistaken. Also notification led is kinda dull, any way to make it brighter?
Well the autobrightness wasn't working as I wanted it to. Never had issues with it before on other devices.
So I downloaded Velis auto brightness
I noticed the sharp brightness sensor was sometimes juming between 2 values like 552 lux and 12 lux causing a constant change off brightness. (flikkering)
Could someone check the brightness sensor, and check if it also fluctuate? My S3 keeps steady values...
I had a faulty pro8.4 (dead pixels) on the first day and the auto focus was also not working properly.So I would like to know wheter I have an other faulty tablet or it is just the sensor that reacts differently.
thanks in advance
I have noticed the same thing. When I am scrolling through a website I notice the flickering brightness. I ended up turning the auto brightness off.
My auto brightness just doesn't seem to work at all. It just defaults to lowest brightness. Funny thing is it worked on first boot, but stopped after the very first time I turned the screen off then back on.

I installed CM today and using auto brightness, I can confirm it just goes up and down, dim-bright-dim-bright. It's disappointing that such a nice tablet has a piss-poor brightness sensor.

My Lux values were all over the place too. Luckily there's an application on the Play Store called Lux which fixes everything. Just set it to adaptive. That's what worked for me.

Can you go to Settings >> Display >> Brightness and then click the settings icon and then the Adjust button. That should tell you the value of the sensor as seen by CM.
Does it really fluctuate there? If so, can you maybe take a quick video so I can see what you are seeing?
I'm pretty sure this is a hardware issue. My sensor flips +/-1 when I leave the tablet sitting there. Covering the sensor drops in down to about 0 and then it bounces right back to the same value when I uncover the sensor.

Wow Thanks so much for suggesting the Lux app. The stock auto brightness jitter was driving me crazy, especially when scrolling around in the playstore.
On a side note, samsung screens are hella bright when viewing at night. Going to put Lux on my phone too lol.
A autobrightness mod I use on my Nexus 10 is the XPosed framework and Gravity box module. Your can set the brightness and lux pair values then reboot. On my Nexus 10 it took three days (night/day) conditions of tuning values until I found the sweet spot. It was not too much of a bother and I've not had to make any adjustments since. Look in Gravity box for display tweaks then all settings can be modified but the pair values mentioned above are under autobrightness levels.
