Folks,
As most of u might knows that the CM10 auto brightness values are very low indoors, but its fine outdoors, any way to manually customize the minimum brightness value?
Settings > display > automatic backlight
Search the Play Store for autobrightness and you will get loads of apps that do it(i use "lux autobrightness")
Take care because some of these apps prevent you from installing .apk files of the market(you have to uninstall them, the filter they draw on the screen causes this)
Velis Auto Brightness
Disclaimer: I am not the creator of the App, i am just sharing this in our SXS forum since we don't have Auto Brightness working so well.. I am not responsible for any damage that happens to your device..
What this App does:
Velis auto brightness aims to provide the best possible brightness experience by using your devices sensors to determine the environment you're in. You have complete control over how much brightness will be applied for any given light condition, from selecting the sensors used to fully customizable brightness graph. This is a replacement for system provided auto-brightness functionality usually found in Settings / Display / Brightness
Features:
- Initial configuration wizard for an easy start
- User-selectable sensors: light, proximity (cameras planned soon)
- Supports custom sensors on phones such as Sony Xperia
- Brightness presets for every taste and screen
- Profiles (save the brightness graph under your own name)
- Fully customizable brightness graph to fit your needs or cover your sensor’s faults
- Extensive sensitivity adjustments (light change threshold, smoothing times up / down, boost threshold)
- Superdimming to make those shades really dark
- Excluded apps (will disable Velis Auto Brightness when they are on top)
- Launcher widget with on/off button, profile select button and a brightness graph
- Tasker / Locale support for many sensor readings and app settings
- Convenient in-app store for premium content (some tasker and widget functionality) and developer support
- Custom app language
- Additional brightness when charging
- Only uses sensors when screen is on conserving battery

Stock JB's sensitivity isn't that good.. This app makes Auto Brightness same as in every Samsung phone's Auto brightness feature.. Changes according to the light sensed by proximity sensor..
Hi,
anyone experienced issues with brightness level on B112? i bought the phone used on ebay, and it came with this firmware
if the brightness is set at the middle, it looks like is set at minimum, and if i try to set it below middle, the screen goes totally black ( 0 visibility )...also if i set the screen on auto brightness, the second it is set, it goes blank screen ( the screen is working, just the brightness is so low you cannot see anything )
also, should i consider upgrading from B112 to a newer firmware? performance wise, i am very happy with B112, because comparing with B125 ( on my second ascend p6 ) it runs smoother, no lag in menu at all ( so far ). i also get in antutu 15200-15700 scores with B112.
any thoughts are welcome

Hello,
Are you using the buttons at the pulldown menu or the phone settings menu to set the brightness ?
If it happens only when you are using the pulldown menu you can try the following (if you have a rooted phone) :
1.First of all, make a copy of build.prop and save it on your SD card !
2.Open build.prop (located in system folder in your device) with a root file explorer (like ES File Explorer on Google Play).
3.Look for this line "ro.config.disablesmbacklinght=true".
4.Replace "true" with "false".
5.Reboot the phone.
PS : You can save the changes in build.prop only if you mount your system like RW (see the ES File Explorer settings)
it happens all the time, doesn't matter how I get to screen brightness...it acts the same

Do you have the Smart Backlight option ON in the phone settings menu > Display ? Try to disable it !
It is possible that you have a preinstalled application like Screen Filter (by the last owner)? If yes, try to uninstall it !
Best regards,

smart backlight is OFF
there is no app preinstalled, as i have factory reset the phone...no other funky app either
i was thinking maybe there is a system file that can be tweaked with, to edit a maximum and a minimum parameter for the brightness ...

You have the possibility to check if it is a software problem using Lux Dash application (do a search on Google Play).
"Lux is a third-party app that allows you to easily calibrate your phone’s brightness sensor".You could try it !

i tried Lux, and it works, but it does not have any calibrate function, it is a good alternative to default screen brightness tho...
I was hoping for a fix for the default ( built in ) screen brightness setup menu...anyway, this will do the trick for now
thanks
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.
As title, whenever I open the Camera app, the brightness changed to max level, is there anyway to disable it ? Thanks
It is really inconvenient to hv forced max brightness when using stock camera app. I cannot find a way to turn it off, but you can temporarily fix by openning the cam app, scroll down from the top and adjust the brightness, then, the brightness will be normal until you restart the cam app. You may also consider to install Google Cam app mod, which is available here in XDA (thx for the developers)
You can override it using other app, called Applock. It has function to override app brightness setting. It also can lock your app using PIN, password and biometrics.
I just updated to Android 13 and the Camera app seems to fix this there's also a setting to activate/deactivate "more brightness" in Camera app
