Hi!
How can I adjust the base automatic backlight level? So the auto backlight works but with a different base level.
For example newer and better Symbian devices work this way.
Thanks

Hi!
I wonder if there is a way to lower the backlight levels on auto adjust (or increase for those who think its still not bright enough). Point is I think having the backlight on generally lower levels will naturally increase battery life. I know I can change the the brightness to a fixed level that suits me - but that would just be right for the current situation. I still want it to adjust to different lighting situations. Ideas?
It would be nice if it was possible to change how dim the backlight gets on total darkness and how bright it gets on your average sunny day.
I've been messing around with the reg to see if I could find max and min values but I can only change manual settings, not auto mode using the light sensor.
One note though: The sensor itself uses battery to measure ambient light. That being said, if you spend most of the day under a constant light source (say an office) manually dimming the device should consume less energy since the sensor is not doing much good for you anyway.
I guess it's not your case. I had this app on my Cruise to change backlight intensity. never used until now. it works on leo (running 1.48 but that should not matter) and changes backlight in 25% increments. You can copy a shortcut to the startmenu and add a quick link to your home tab or map it to a hard or soft button somehow.
I wold really like to know how to change max and min levels on auto backlight.
Try Lumos - it's a backlight replacement that allows you to customise how you want your auto backlight to work, ie. what the minimum/maximum brightness is, how fast the backlight changes, etc.

Seems to work fine. Still some tunning to do. Thanks!
I'm using Lumos now and it works great! Simple to set up and easy to customize. Thanks for the hint!
lumos is great but I found it was draining the battery quite fast on the leo.
Admittedly I was using it with the wm6.5 Check for active programme only setting. I never tested it to see if it worked without checking that box.
As far as I can tell by now the batterylife appears to be rather better than before. I haven't put in any application exceptions and didn't check the one checkbox in the settings tab. I also use a custom curve where the backlight stays at 30% until the sensor hits about 400 (30% is plenty in my opinion and still brighter than my friend's iphone in normal light condition inside).
you should try AutoLight http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548402
it works fine on Leo
Hi,
from the old windows mobile times I know apps to adjust the light sensor levels for auto backlight.
Personaly I always think that auto brightness is to high.
I already know that there is no app fitting my needs expect the light senor level settings @ Cyanogenmod Roms.
As I don't want to change my current ROM I was wondering if there is a way to get this setting to other ROMs!?!

Doesn't anyone know something about it???
Hello. I has a problem on CM10. If I change the number of levels to more than 6, automatic backlight still works with only 6 number of levels, just ignore other levels i made. Why ? Any solution ?
I need to develop an Android app which should have options to control LED brightness, backlight and contrast. From various documentation on internet, I found ways to control the brightness, but couldn't find anything about backlight and contrast. First of all, in Android devices, isn't brightness and backlight the same? Also, how can I control these two from code? Please let me know your suggestions.
Brightness can be changed by setting the screenBrightness member of the window's LayoutParams (fetched with getAttributes()). It ranges from 0-1, or set to -1 to use the default brightness set by the user in display settings.
However, even at brightness level of 0, the backlight remains on; it's just dim.
I've been looking for a way to turn the backlight off completely, without success. I know it's possible because there is an app called "Screen Backllight OFF" that does it (device must be rooted). I've read various suggestions on using WakeLocks, but I want the device and my app to remain awake and active; all I want to do is temporarily turn off the backlight.
Does anyone know how to turn off the backlight?
I'm generally happy with the autobrightness on this phone, but in dark environments the screen dims too much for my preference. I can manually adjust the brightness in such situations but then it's higher on every kind of light. Can I make it brighter in darker environments and stay default on the other light conditions?
The auto brightness has a learning function. Keep adjusting it to your liking in different circumstances and the phone will , over time, learn your preferences.
