Tweak autobrightness intervals

Hi,
I'd like to change the autobrightness values for each step. The current ones are a bit to dark for my taste. I am currently in AOKP and they are way better than the stock ones. Any app, kernel or idea how to tweak these settings ?
Thanks.

You can just decompile your frameworks, change each brightness step value, then compile and flash.

I am looking for a simpler way

If you're using Aokp rom, settings, display, custom backlight setting. Then check use custom, edit other levels. Left column for sensor level the brightness needs to change. Mid column is the screens actual brightness.

Is that an app ? What is it called?

Its the rom. Just about all the roms have this capability.

Yeah but aokp doesn't have this slider stuff for auto brightness, its more custom value entering stuff..

Would love to use something as simple as this...., where could i find this? Read a few posts above that it's in almost every rom. I am using skank mod of cm9. If it's not available can someone explain what means what in this photo to make screen brighter?

Lux Dash
Lux Dash in the Play Store works pretty well. It allows you to "link" custom brightness settings to ambient light levels.
I have been using it for a couple days now and am happy with the performance.

[Q] automatic brightness issue CM9/CM10-based rom

I flashed a lot of custom rom and I have an issue if I flash the following roms:
[ROM] 30/8/12 Cyanogen 9 RC1 [GSM]
[ROM][PrimoU/GSM] 3/9/12 CM10 B54 *Unofficial*
[ROM][PORT][03SEPT2012] PARANOID ANDROID [4.0.4][PrimoU-GSM][v0.7]
The automatic brightness control does'nt work. In best case the brightness increases in the accordant ambiance, but won't decrease in dark ambiance.
If I disable automatic brightnes and enable it again, the brightness adjusts one time accordant to the ambiance, after that it stay at the same level.
In stock-based roms I have no issue (SuPrimo 5.0, myonev RC5.0, HTC Stock 2.22.401.1).
Would have a CM9/CM10-based ROM without that issue.
Could somebody reproduce this issue on a CM9/CM10-ROM and give me feedback?

we are aware of this

Well, it seems to work on my device (CM9 RC0), but you have to check "allow light decrease" in the settings.
Don't know why this isn't on by default.

I tried all of these options, but without success.
Are you shure that it is working on your HTC One V (increase and decrease of the brightness in automatic mode)?

guys just letting you know, we have a thread for issues with CM9+CM10 both in general

Yes, it does work here with that setting on.

App to keep screen on for some apps

What are you using to keep the screen on during some aps. I have tried a few but haven't had much luck.
Hope others have had success

If charging, you could always enable the option (I think under Developer Options) to keep screen on during charging. Otherwise, you can also adjust screen timeout to something really high or Never.

I use Caffeine

I'm quite satisfied with KeepScreen
I tried IntelliScreen but it can do more than I actually need and so found it a bit too complex

If you already own Tasker, use it to do it.

Do you have a "script?" for tasker?

Have you tried Screebl?
Works perfectly for my tablet, has lots of settings you can play with if you need, but haven't need to at all myself though. try it out! Free version before v

Don't forget to hit thanks if that helps! Or if you just feel like it, that would be okay too

No need, create a Profile for a context when said app is running, make the Task change the Screen On time. Nothing complicated.

Try Notification Toggle. There's a toggle for this and many more, so you don't have to use for every setting a separate app.

Option to stop screen from turning off (KitKat Rom)

Is there a way to disable this in a kitkat rom during a call? ?

Turn off Proximity Sensor. Most likely in Phone Settings... Haven't been on AOSP in a minute, but it used to be an option.

Couldn't find phone settings. I checked every section of the options menu and there was nothing about proximity sensors. I guess I'll just have to deal with it. Thank.

Hit the Menu soft key inside the Phone App

Well TouchWiz ROMs have it for sure

I meant that I couldn't find it anywhere in the options xD. I'd go back to touchWiz but I always get terrible battery life. So each rom has a different drawback for me xD

One click data/wifi/Bluetooth toggle from status bar

Does anyone know how to enable this feature if at all possible on OOS 4.0.?
EDIT: Not so much enable since Im sure its probably a tweak in custom roms. But it this possible? Build prop edit maybe?

Actually, it's enabled by default. I figured it out just my playing around, but what you have to do is only pull it down partially, and then you'll have quick toggle. This is what it looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now of course there is a problem with this because it doesn't show all of your icons and so maybe you have one that doesn't appear here. But this is all I have found so far.

Yeah, sorry...you're right. I'm on stock - it works as a quick toggle for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and auto-rotate, but not mobile data...apparently. I have unlimited so that isn't something I normally bother with.

I turn on and off just due to battery consumption. Oh well, guess I'll have to deal with it of just go to a custom rom.
Thanks!
