Hello, I'm using a "stock" bassed ROM and DoomKernel 13, and I want to know if there is any method to reduce the minimum brightness level, because that minimum is too bright yet for me and my battery
In MIUI I remember I can decrease brightness untill screen backlight turns almost off.
Thanks

just download dim app lol in store :O
Do you have problems with auto brightness in MIUI roms? Your screen brightness gets extremely dark in low light conditions, or the brightness spikes just with a few increase of light?
For low brightness problem, actually you can adjust the minimum autobrightness in slider bar, but sometimes it will reset back to default minimum brightness. For example if you turn off auto brightness in game, when you turn it on again, it won't resume your settings. As a result the screen will get darker than your adjustment.
I created magisk module to fix that. This will increase the minimum brightness in low light, and also reduce the over brightness in medium and high ambient light. The result will be smoother auto brightness step, and be more convenient for your eyes!
There are two modules, one for Miui 10 running Android Pie, and the other ones for Miui 10 running Android Oreo. Dont install wrong module, because there are much more brightness values in Android P than O.
The Oreo version may be not as good as Pie version, because i tested it in Redmi Note 5. My Mi Mix 2s currently running Miui 10 P beta 8.8.16 for Pie version testing. But it should give the same result. Oreo version works in Miui 9 too, but may results different.
So what this module do? It adds framework-res to the /system/media/theme/default. With a magisk module you can do it systemlessly! To install it, just download the module then browse it in Magisk Manager.
If you dont like my setting values, just unzip my module, find framework-res file, unzip it, then edit the theme_values.xml to any values you want under "config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues", then zip all back.
Download links in attachment.
Guide:
V1 for lowest brightness (best battery)
V2 for a bit brighter in low light
V3 for brighter brightness (best for full edge cover tempered glass user)
V4 for more responsive and smoother auto brightness. Values are about similar to v3.
To check if this module works;
Tap the Kernel Version in About Phone 5 times, then you will enter CIT. Go to Light Sensor. Cover your phone light sensor on upper bezel (lower for Mi Mix 2s) with your palm till the light sensor value reach 0. If the backlight is not going under 100/130 (pie) or 7 (oreo), then this module works! My module limits the minimal auto brightness, which the original can reach to 20 which is ridiculously very dark.
This module may work on any MIUI-based rom phones with IPS display, not just Mi Mix 2s.
I also created this module for Mi 9 (amoled display). Visit my thread HERE
Notes:
- Only V4 has responsitivity adjustment. More responsive means it needs less light increments to trigger auto brightness adjustment.
- Editing the values can cause a mess. Add .disable_magisk file in cache partition if your phone cant boot then uninstall the module in manager.
Thanks have flashed this and will see how it goes over a day/night. Initially it's good though.
I find the auto bright annoying sometimes especially given how easy it is to cover the bottom chin sensors on this phone.

Thanks for trying. I hope you get better auto brightness experience after a day..
Yeah the worst part is the light sensor in mix 2s located in bottom left where you could get the screen unseenable while using two/left hands. If its in center, it would be better.
My other mi phone with forehead light sensor often gets annoyingly too dark. I never satisfied with miui default auto brightness and always use this mod since miui 7. Fortunately, this method still works with some adjustment in value.
Ok so it's been a couple of days and this has helped a lot imo at least for indoors (haven't really had any major outdoors time...).
Still gets dark enough when it's really dark, but certainly for normal indoor conditions the default settings you have are much better. Xiaomi settings often got too dark, and you can adjust the slider, but then the slider goes back after while anyway :-\

Just reporting back after a while with this and more miui updates, seems the later beta builds have changed something in the brightness in that I don't know if this mod works any more, or if it needs tweaking to provide the same brightness levels it used to.
I had a really quick play with values as suggested in the op but it's well outside my field of expertise and couldnt get it to do much different

@arddy1
... where to find the default values ?
I'm on Poco F1 and want to compare to the default values and adjust theme_values.xml

Sorry for late reply. This mod still works in miui 8.10.11 global. Here are the screenshots of screen light value in lowest brightness. The lower one is the original. Mine still brighter in lowest light.

Here's the screenshot from framework_res in rom 8.10.11 global
So it only works on miui
Yes since it's a miui issue. Stock android roms don't reset brightness like miui.
Stock roms just set the brightness bar where you want, some will have the ability adjust the total curve even. Miui if you raise brightness it will change itself back after 5 mins or so, so it's needed to change the system default values

To me it happens on the treble roms. Exactly as in miui.. might be a vendor thing idk
Can I use this on Vince running Resurrection Remix 6.2.1 Android Oreo? I am having auto brightness issue in custom ROMs too.

No, its for miui only. Even using it on miui other than i specified in first post may not work
Can you check with the latest miui 8.11.15?
I'm currently using this but sometimes the brightness still jumps from dim to bright
Thanks for this fix!
Can you make flashable zip version via TWRP recovery? I don't use Magisk and I don't want to be rooted

Max auto brightness level can be increased from current value?
From 4095 to 4500
It would better in sunlight

hi any chance to have it without root?

No. 4095 is the max value.

Yes you can. As long as you unlock bootloader and place the framework-res file in system path i mentioned in first post with twrp
I tried your auto brightness fix. And surprisingly it seems to work on the Mi Max 3 with xiaomi.eu 8.12.6v2 as well.

Agreed, on 8.12.13 xiaomi.eu (pie) Mi Max 3 it works very well. Thank you for your efforts OP.
Hi guys, I was wondering Does anyone know why the brightness in android pie aosp is so low compared to miui? and if there is any way to increase it?
+1
Android Pie uses adaptive brightness and learns what your preferred brightness is over time. Keep adjusting your brightness for a week or so.

The problem that I see is not the automatic brightness, but in the low brightness, for example, 10% brightness in Miui is 35% in PIE, When I go out on the street with miui I use the brightness in half, but in android foot I have to use the maximum brightness and it still costs a bit to see. I think the example is understood.
what kernel are you on?
Google changed the brightness algorithms in P, so what you have is what google made it to be.
today i tried pixel experience rom and liquid remix rom and both the roms were having brightness very low and even after 50% it was still looking dull and low..
I was using Oxygen os 5.6.1 rom and flashed pie roms and faced this brightness issue..
Is there any way out
It's not a brightness issue. Google changed the brightness algorithms on Pie. Even on Pixel devices. 0-75% brightness is very incremental in terms of brightness. Then 75-100% is very sensitive and has the most visible difference in brightness. You can look this up on Google as well. Unfortunetly it'll most likely be this way on all pie based ROMs.
Hi!
Does anyone know if brightness settings will change on Android Q? For me, they were ok on Android Oreo. I know that the 2 xl hasn't a superb display, but Pie did a total mess!
I wish I could set the brightness at 45 - 50% as I did before (the screen didn't suck) instead of reaching the 90%! I haven't installed any Q Beta version yet.
Thanks in advance

The Pie brightness was overhauled and had different locations for the same brightness compared to Oreo. But in my opinion auto brightness on pie and Q is much better than Oreo. You can also train it to adjust to your liking.

Thanks for your answer
Starting with Pie, they made the brightness slider linear. So 50% before Pie was definitely not 50% nits output for the screen which, with a rated max 403 by anandtech, would be only 201.5 nits. And that was before the November update that lowered the max by 50 nits. That's why you're needing it to be 90% and higher in bright ambient light.
