Auto Brightness

Is there anyway to make the auto brightness transitions smoother? They seem to go in steps to lower or brighter settings rather than a smooth fade.
Also, when unlocking the screen, the screen turns on in a 2 step fashion...It powers on, then brightensa bit...is there anyway to make it smooth? I am coming from a HD2 and that had VERY smooth transitions and power on with regards to brightness change.
Edit. I am using Stock Jl4 2.2 rom with supercurios voodoo kernel.

anyone???????

[Q] S5 vibrate sucks

How many others out there think the vibrate intensity sucks? I keep my phone in an Otterbox Defender case. When I need to turn off the sound and put it on vibrate for going to meetings, church, etc....I might as well turn it off. The vibration intensity is so low that it is too easy to miss. Is there anything that can be done to make it be more noticeable? My S5 is rooted and I am running Xposed with a few modules, if that is helpful...

N7 2012 as bedside clock??

Hi guys.
i thought i'd use my N7 as a bedside clock and alarm. As an alarm it is great but if i want to keep the screen on it is just way too bright even with a screen filter. I installed a filter and also changed the settings in the bedside clock app to give the lowest brightness setting but as soon as my eyes have adjusted to the darkness there is too much light coming from the screen even with all the settings as low as possible.
also, a lot of that screen light is from around the edges like screen bleeding.
any suggestions? i would like to have a very dim clock on constantly with the alarm function then waking me up when needed.
cheers

Anyone?

Its an LCD screen, it won't be pitch black like an amoled no matter what you do.
Although you can try M-Kernel with Trickster mod, it has brightness clamping feature which can reduce brightness to very low levels

I'm assuming you are aware there is a night mode in the Daydream settings for the clock built in to the operating system

Screen filter from google play store

Display darkens in sunlight - what to do?

My OPT automatically darkens the display in sunlight when it gets too warm. I currently use Boeffla Kernel 1.2b4 with the Thermal Extreme setting. Still, when I try to use my phone in direct sunlight, it usually only takes a couple of minutes until the screen gets so dim that I can hardly read it. Today it even only took about one minute. This is ridiculous.
Can anyone point me to the thermal settings that I need to tweak in order for the display not to dim? This really annoys me ...

I know nothing about any thermal settings, so maybe I'm way off base here....but have you tried turning off "adaptive brightness" in: settings > display ?

I usually have adaptive brightness switched on outside so the display automatically gets brighter when the ambient light is bright (e.g.: in the sun.) When the dimming happened in the past, I tried switching off adaptive brightness to see what happens, without any effect. I haven't tried manually turning the screen to full brightness in direct sunlight (without adaptive brightness switched on) yet. But since the screen also dims when playing games, I assume it is due to thermal settings.

Tuning the vibration

Is there any way to tune the vibration (eg. notification, touch, global vibrations separately)?
Previously I've used Xposed modules, but Xposed is not available on Android N afaik.
I'm using EX kernel, and there are two settings for vibration in the EX kernel manager app, but the only that works is the first option "Vibration" which is the global setting.
The second "Notification vibration" slider doesn't have any effect whatsoever.
Also, I'm using Swiftkey as my keyboard, and the lowest setting for key press vibration is still too high, 1 or 20, there is literally no difference.
The only way I see it is to tweak the global vibration down, and then raise the notification/call vibration intensity.
I'm on Android N stock, rooted, EX kernel.

I have the same issue. I hate the vibration so much that I turned it off completely for all notifications. Anyway to tune the vibration to the effect that it's closer to the vibration of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. I'm looking for a softer vibration as opposed to the rattling strong vibration the Nexus 6P currently has.

I hate that I almost can't feel the vibration while the phone is in my pocket, and also hate when typing on the keyboard instead of getting nice haptic feedback, there is just an annoying sound.
That's why I'm looking to tweak it, it's really badly calibrated, at least in my case.

I am starting to think that maybe they just put a cheap vibration motor in the Nexus 6p.
