Is it possible to lower the minimum automatic brightness level?

I really like the automatic brightness feature, but IMO it doesn't get nearly dim enough in dark situations. If I uncheck the auto brightness feature, I can dim the display to an acceptable level so I know the display is capable of it. Is there a way to adjust the threshold/range of the auto brightness levels?
Thanks,
Dave

A polite bump...

I wonder if you know the answer, do you?

Try the free market app, Dimmer. It works well, especially at night. Lowers the brightness to level 10, instead of default lowest of 30.

Do you know if this app will work with the new GB roms with the new sense on the novatech screens?

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.

Adjust ambient display brightness?

Is there a way to brighten the ambient display, such as the clock and notifications that appear? I can barely see it in the sun. I had no problem seeing my moto z play in the sun.

If you go into settings / display there is a brightness slider that you can use to manually set the screen at a brighter level. I'm not sure if that recalibrates the base Android uses in its ambient settings or not. If you just are used to a brighter screen and find that the ambient setting continues to make the screen dimmer than you like after using the slider you can just turn the ambient display feature off entirely. I personally like the feature but a lot of people don't and just turn it off.
There are also apps in the Play Store that allow you to manually adjust the screen brightness without going into the settings menu, if you want to have easier control over it.

I know that the AOKP ROM allows alot of modifications to the ambient display brightness settings. Other ROMs may do the same but I know and use the settings on AOKP. It's a very good ROM! Native settings don't have the options.

AOKP and Pixel Dust are the two roms I know of that have this option.

You don't need a ROM to kick in higher brightness on auto brightness.
Just root and install ElementalX kernel or one based on it.
Then install this widget and once toggled, it will give you way more max brightness on auto brightness.

I noticed that my wife's phone has significantly brighter ambient display. They have identical settings as far as I can tell. So I'm not sure but I would love to find out the answer cause I want mine brighter too

Go to advanced display settings and toggle off the option to wake the screen with new notifications, then turn off the lift to view gesture. Your ambient display should brighten significantly.

Brightness in PIE 9

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.
