Is there any way to adjust the backlight's brightness beyond the 5 levels available in the Control Panel? Even on the lowest setting, the screen is still very bright if you're reading in an otherwise dark environment.
Any help or pointer to working third-party solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Good question. I've seen Palm software that allows finer-grained backlight settings, but nothing for WM5/6 (much less Wizard-specific). It would be nice, though...

Anyone know if there is a way to adjust the automatic brightness function - i.e. have it still be automatic, but be a little bright or darker for a given ambient light?
would really like to keep using it, but want my overall brightness turned down. using manual brightness with widget for now, but don't see why automatic brightness could not be tweaked. tried searching for an app to do this, but have not come up with anything. nothing came up in a google search of xda either. anyone got anything?
I want to know as well, I wouldn't mind setting the auto brightness to be more fine tuned as well, smaller changes.
Yes a better working app is needed. something like My Light or Lumos for winmo
Hi all,
I found that the default auto brightness setting always render the screen darker than my favourite. For certain I want to keep the adaptive approach (i.e. the screen brightness will change according to my physical enviornment), however I would like to fine tune it such that it will always return a +1 / +2 brightness on top of the default return. Do anyone know any apps / tricks can I do so?
p.s. I know I can place an widget to manual adjust the brightness, but I am now looking for a way to fine tune the automated value.
Thanks all!

Did you ever solve this. Posted numerous times about a similar issue but never really found a proper solution.
You can use Tasker. Set up profiles for depending how much the light sensor sees, you can have the brightness exactly how you want. Note: You need to disable auto brightness for this to work.
Looked on google for this and found other people asking about it but no answer so far.
If i leave the screen brightness set to auto-adjust, the phone NEVER adjust the screen brightness down to it's lowest setting, even if i am sitting in a pitch dark room. Is there some way to adjust the range of the brightness setting so that it will actually use the lowest brightness? It seems beyond stupid that in a pitch dark room the screen doesn't go down to it's lowest level.
Most of the time i find the screen to be too bright, so if i could adjust the auto-brightness over-all to be darker, that would be cool too.
failing that, is there an app that makes adjusting the brightness quicker then digging down into the settings to move the slider?
thanks
I use widgetsoid (free) from the market place to do what you speak of and 7 other things as well.
i think i already have something that does what it looks like widgetsoid does. I have a button on the screen that i can tap that switches the screen between 3 brightness settings. i was just wondering if there was one where you could tap and get a slider. Seems silly to have the actual slider itself on the screen since that would take up so much room. But a button that would open up into a slider would be nice.
I'd still prefer to be able to adjust the autobrightness settings and use that if possible.
You can set autobrightness levels with tasker. There's a thread floating around with details.

Again, Widgetsoid does this. Once it is setup, modify, settings/Brightness Modes and set it Custom (Seekbar) or use one of the other 2 settings. You can change those as well with custom. Exit. Go to toggle and you have slider with one click on one button, which option of adding 7 more.

ah ok, cool, thanks. I'm going to see if i can find the thread about tasker since i'd prefer to have auto-brightness working better. if that fails then i'll give widgetsoid a try.
thank you
Just what I was looking for Screen brightness less then 10% and Less then Curvefish's toggle to 4%. I was looking for the 1% brighness and I think i got with the Widgetsoid only compaint is no exit after setting... Thanks
Does anyone know a clever way to detect the active display in tasker? Currently I use luxauto brightness to keep the OLED display dim in the house, but the same filtering it does to get below 0 brightness also grays out the eink side, particularly when I have it face down on a desk. It's easy to detect and act on that state with the proximity sensor, but it would be nice if there were a way to trigger based on active display so that I can disable lux in low brightness situations where it isn't face down and I am using hte eink screen.
I was able to figure things our digging through the source code Jeopardy posted, sorry for not digging around more before posting. If anyone else wants to replicate here are the basics, I can provide more detail or screenshots if needed. I disable lux in tasker with a profile that looks for event intent received "yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_START". I have a task that reenables lux whenever the intent yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_STOP_MANUAL or yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_STOP are received (2 profiles, each trigger the same task).

It's great to see you found use for my findings. Just out of curiosity, is there a specific reason you could not just use android's automatic brightness? I think you could even modify the threshold levels for it with some xposed module.

Lux seems to do things much cleaner, allows sub-zero brightness, and is more customizable as far as number of points and smoothness of transitions. I noticed that gravity box might have had a way to do things like this after I installed lux.
Is there a hack or a utility that allows the user to set the maxiumum brightness of the AOD? I realise that it dims when the ambient lighting is dim but I find it too bright at other times.
AOD seems to have only 2 brightness levels, dim and bright. I'd like to be able to turn down the brightness.
Maybe you can find a custom rom with and brightness control ability?
Twiztd rom comea with such control ability(Twiztd controls) . I just found your thread. Hope that helps.

exactly I have the same problem with AOD and I hope Samsung add a feature to control it.
