How to tweak light brightness down even further even lower on the S3?

My screen dim level is at 1 and my phone is still too bright. How could I reduce this even further so that sliding my brightness toggle in the notifications bar all the way to low will reduce the brightness even further? Is there not an option or a mod that allows you to pretty much dim your screen to complete darkness?

screen filter from playstore

I see screen filter, the only problem I have with it is its persistent notification. As far as I can see there's no way to remove it. If I could get rid of the persistent notification I would set it to boot with tasker.
Suggestions to remove from notification?

Try lux auto brightness not sure if it has persistent notification or not.

I know about lux too, but it's not what I need.
Is there a way to lower the brightness set by the kernel or is this unchangeable?

Download screen calibrator and it works like a charm, you can also remove the icon from the status bar

I looked into this too, I believe the only option is screen filter or anything like it.. which makes no sense to me.
Lower brightness = better for eyes+battery

Yeah I actually prefer the dropdown notification built into AOKP roms for brightness, but the lowest brightness is too bright. In a room with lights off, reading the amazon kindle before bed is pretty discomforting if you're trying to ease into sleep. Way too bright.
Apparently the only way to do it unless the screen filter author comes up with a way to get rid of that persistent notification/load on startup is to kernel hack, and personally for someone who isn't a developer/programmer, I wouldn't touch an opensource code with a stick

I have the same problem. The lowest brightness is still too high to read something with the lights off.

Hey, I think I actually found something.. do you have cm10? If you do, you can turn on screen filter normally then go to settings > apps > screen filter and uncheck "show notifications". That took away the persistent notification for me.
I don't know if you can do this in aopk.

i have a great solution (with a notification-so i will try your suggestion 386 once my rom is done backing up), but want to make my own personalized "build (apps, tweaks etc) thread". Where can I make it without getting slapped by the mods? In the galaxy s3 general thread or since most of it is can be done on different android phones in the the overall general thread?

[Q] Decreasing screen brightness under 20 on rooted stock JB 4.1.1

Whatever program I use, I cannot lower the display brightness below 20. I did my best to search the forum as well as the web, but couldn't really find an answer to this. Sorry if I am (possibly) repeating..
I am on stock rooted JB 4.1.1.
My question:
How can I user lower brightness levels? Do I really need a modified kernel for this?
Thanks.

How did u know its 20 % ?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

it is not %20. It is 20. Screen brightness level can be set as a value between 0-255.
BTW, I am not talking about stock brightness slider in the status bar. Root applications like RootDim or Tasker allows you to set brightness in terms of actual brightness level. However, values under 20 don't have any effect on decreasing brightness..

Auto Brightness Questions

I've been trying to figure out this auto brightness thing myself and their implementation is definitely a little unique.
So with auto on, the slider still has a slight effect in that auto with slider at 100 favors a slightly higher brightness than auto with slider at 0? So with auto on it always adjust to the environment but the scale is slightly different depending on the slider? Auto 100 will use more battery then auto 0?
Has anyone actually tested that? Is there any way to see the actual current nominal brightness level because I'm not positive that's what's happening. The other thing that I suspect could be occurring is that moving the slider when auto mode is on has a temporary effect and then auto re-kicks in again.

Try Lux app to custom control brightness

I have lux, but that wasn't my question.

That's intended behavior. Whatever you have the slider on is the 'base' value while auto brightness is enabled. So you can change the base value to favor more or less brightness.
I still stick with lux to get the best auto brightness control

when we tap on Auto Brightness in toggle panel there is a small "C" letter on brightness icon there.Anyone one what does it mean in real?
Comfort or custom or...?

Can I lower the screen brightness for the Oneplus 3?

Hello Together,
at night, when i am reading in bed or surfing with chrome the display is too bright.
Is there a app or tweak to reduce the minimum screen brightness?
I would prefer not to use an app with a filter overlay. It should really reduce the brightness.
I have read about such an feature with ElementalX Kernel. It did not worked so I changed to stock again.
THANK YOU,

Just disable adaptive brightness and adjust it manually to your liking.

Download the app f.lux , it sure makes the screen easy on my eyes at night

Thanks for your ideas.
Manual brightness lowest setting is no difference.
And i installed f.lux. I do Not like the settings.
Are there further ideas/possibilities?

What did not work with elementalx?
Did you install the kernel correctly and enable the backlight dimmer option? Works for me

Download this xposed module and lower the minimum brightness level.

ElementalX kernel has a feature which allows you to dim the display to a lower value than by default, you may want to check it out.

Try Twilight app
I found an app on Google Play called " TWILIGHT
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.urbandroid.lux
You set the time of day for the phone to dim - early in the morning and late at night. It dims the screen but also shades more reds on the screen as it's better for your eyes before sleep to decrease the bright lights. Been using it for 6 months and I like it. Occasionally - I get a warning of "screen overlay" when I'm using sime new apps that modify phone settings, but you can pause the app to modify settings - and reactivate the Twilight.
Give it a try..

Colour change at min brightness.

MY issue with the stock Rom, which has been bugging me for a while is that when I reduce the brightness to the minimum, the Contrast changes, or something of the sorts, this really annoys me and I would like to disable it. Can someone help me out? I really don't want to flash a custom ROM.

I think that's normal because of AMOLED display, I also noticed it on CM14.1

This is simply the way this particular screen works, can't be fixed with software.
You can only avoid it by not reducing brightness as much. According to "Lux" the color shift starts under 4% brightness.

But why does the min brightness in mxplayer not have this issue?

Because mx player doesn't set the brightness as low as you can set it manually using the brightness slider.
Select menu - display - settings - screen - untick "brightness". Now you can set your brightness manually to even lower using the brightness slider.
Other apps seem to work similarly (for example an third party brightness widget)... Not setting it to minimum... Like they don't recognize the "real" minimum brightness - which is lower. I don't have this "issue" on my tablet. Haven't looked much into it though.
