Issue: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2298
After toying around with the automatic brightness I'm now here to share my settings ...
I use the following settings:
Light sensor filter enabled.
Window length 10 seconds.
Reset threshold 400 lux.
Sample interval to 0.5s.
Light levels use custom checked.
Screen dim level, not sure what it is for but I have it on 1 instead of 20. ((edit: I found what it is for, it's the step size the filter takes? Or not? :s))
Edit other levels...
Number of levels: 18
0 1
10 1
117 17
225 33
272 49
320 65
480 80
640 96
960 112
1280 128
1940 144
2600 160
4200 175
5800 192
6900 207
8000 223
9120 239
10240 255
Allow light decrease checked.
Decrease hysteresis to 10%.
I hope people like my light settings, if you don't please tell me why
Reasons why some settings should be altered:
Reset threshold, should be able to set to 100 and 200 lux. At the moment if you walk into light it takes the filter some time to go up, so 100 or 200 lux would trigger a reset faster. Also the sensor starts at 225 lux so why 400 as a minimum in the first place?
Window length, as for the above, if you walk into light a smaller window length would help put brightness up much quicker in combination with a smaller reset threshold.
If the above two settings could be added in CMParts/ODParts that be great as the filter would be much more responsive to short period light changes. For example if you go from outside to inside or visa versa.
And maybe it would even be a better idea to remove the whole custom light levels and add a linear function to it to go with the filter (configurable) and just have 254 steps (1-255) over 10-10240?
Adding 254 steps yourself is ... A PAIN ><
English please
guys i know there is a problem with the light sensor in desire and i have the same case with mine it this is all about it please let me know how to fix it please.

What ROM are you using? CyanogenMod and forks of it (OpenDesire, DeFrost etc) have a custom preferences menu where you can check out the light sensor values. That is when you leave the filter off and goto edit other levels. Hold your phone in line with a TL light and it should jump to 1280.
Do you see the top most number change when light changes?
Call me crazy, but I am ><
I put the whole table into the automatic backlight custom levels: http://www.linux-box.nl/~sjoer/1to255/1to255.php
And it works really well with light changes, it should work even better if reset threshold can be lower (200 or maybe 100) as it will respond to bright light <> no light much better.
how did you did that?
without typing lol
This is insane..... so much trouble for such a simple task. Automatic Brightness. On winMO i used g-lite wich was satisfacatory. A have the desire for a month now. I searched from a similar soft and i didn't find. But i'm not gooing to try this much trouble for something that should be easy. Thank you.
Im sorry but....HOW do I apply this ?
Can this be applied to other roms?
I am using Pinky desire and would love to do this.

yes and for stock roms please
The screen minimum value is 10-255, so how can I set "1" to the first 2 levels?
I set 10, and I like the settings overall.

First off, "10 1" is redundant as you already cover that from 0 to 9. So 17 levels should be enough. Second, on the last line "10240 225" you probably meant "10240 255". Testing your settings with these modifications now. I find you have a lot of levels, probably can do with less to reduce flickering, but as I said, testing these first.
Can we use these settings in a Sense rom and if yes how?What file do we have to edit?
so useless guys.
setup max brightness and enjoy the brilliant screen.
it takes less battery than this tool to constantly check your ambient brightness.
Can someone please make a post about how to use this (and especially on Sense Roms)? So far it only shows us "which sensor-level should be what brightness" but it doesn't provide any information on how to apply it.
I assume CM either has an app for this installed (if so, please tell us WHICH so we can use it too) or a shell-script in background (if so, tell us WHICH) adjusting the settings.
Could anyone post a how-to use these settings?
Edit: Nvm, it's under: Cyanogen Settings.
Btw under "Edit other levels" you should only change the boxes that's under "Lower"? You shouldn't touch "Screen" and "Button"?
Trying this out, and will see how it goes. Only have 5 levels on my current setup, so this should be a lot smoother

Since the source code of Sense kernels is available now, would it be possible to write the tool for Sense ROMs too? You sure would do a lot of people a big favor
Hi everybody
I'm a Revolution HD (5.1.11) user, and I have the Unity V3 kernel.
I was wondering if there's a way to modify the auto-brightness values: with stock settings it never reaches the lowest value, and in complete darkness the screen of my DHD is always too bright.
I'd like it to vary between the maximum and (nearly) the minimum values.
Is there a fix, or a way ot modify the file containing these settings?
Thanks in advance
Up! Isn't there anything to solve my problem?

Hi there!
I'm new on this forum and I just register because I've 3 questions!
I'll create 3 thread for each question, unless if a moderator want that I group those 3 questions.
My One plus 3 is rooted and it has xposed.
So in this thread I would like to decrease the minimum brightness of my 1+3.
There were 2 years I had a Nexus 5 and I remember that with a custom kernel I could modify the minimum brightness, the maximum sound or vibration, I also could underclock or overclock and all those features were amazing!
Of course, I would like to have the same thing in my One plus 3! I don't care about the maximum vibration, sound or underclock and overclock, I just want to decrease the minimum brightness without application. I would like to keep the stock rom.
Can anybody help me please?
Thanks a lot and have a good day!
Also looking for an answer to this myself. I wish OnePlus could implement adaptive brightness (not auto brightness, there's a difference!) which I can bring the brightness all the way down during at night.
Hi. Im using Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 with xiaomi.eu 9.9.3 and KangarooX r5.1 kernel installed and I am bothered by automatic brightness which doesn't work well. Brightness set by the phone is too low for me and I need to manually correct it but the worst thing is that after each screen blanking the phone sets the brightness again wrongly.
I asked a friend who have the same phone on the latest official software and the default kernel if it also occurs and he answered yes. Does someone know how to fix it?
its miui's stupidest bug ever and they dont even care to fix it. only solution if you are rooted, just install custoMIUIzer and choose higher minimum brightness value.

Thanks for the suggestion, it fixed the issue for me. What's interesting the algorithm is not to blame apparently - the light sensor is ****ed and dropping to single digit reading even in a relatively bright room if there's no direct lighting shining on it. Just a change of phone angle drops the reading from 400+ lux to single digits...
My note 5 brightness is terrible on automatic I have the note 7 too but the brightness is perfect on that phone.

Thanks i will try it. In miui11 they still didn't fixed that
Hi i have been looking for a module for ed xposed which hopefully can control lowest brightness level. I am on Asop rom on the poco f3 and development is in early stages which means in darker areas the low brightness goes to low. It would be useful if there were a module which can set the lowest brightness to a certain value which the system cannot got lower than e.g 12% I hope this is understood and perhaps ther is already a module available for this but i cant find it.

Thankyou so much its working perfectly just what i needed.
I spoke to soon left the phone overnight and in the morning brightness very minimal again. I guess it stopped working.
