Ok so I have been searching for a way to disable the auto light feature on the Play because it's really dark, first of all, and it's really annoying, second of all. I read somewhere that I should get the "Adj Brightness" application and it would allow me to override the auto adjust feature on the Xperia Play regarding it's lighting, however, this did not work. Does anyone have a working way of keeping the screen at it's absolute brightest? Thanks in advance.

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.
Hi
Thanks for a terrific discussion board and all the help it offers.
I have a new HD2 and I love it - having upgraded from an iMate ultimate with WM6.1
I find the backlight too bright at night when I'm using navigation software. Is there a way I can dim the backlight at night when I'm using the navigation software?
Thanks
Mark
I don't use nav software at night (or anytime), but I use autobacklight app. It's available on this forums in the hd2 apps or wm apps forums.
I just tap on it and it toggles between lightest brightness and adaptive bright. It's basically used at night time when I want to read and during the day when I'm outside in the sun. It saves me from having to go through the menus to set this.
Many thanks. Sounds very promising. I'll give it a go.
Mark
Resolved - Update
Update:
I installed Auto backlight Steps. I set it to just two, 10% & 100%, thus it is a toggle. Its an icon besides my GPS icons. At night I hit it before (or after) firing GPS. Works like a dream.

Many thanks to all
or try Lumos, it replaces the system autobrightness, giving you an option to create your own brightness profile or making use of the few predefind ones
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.
Whenever I open the stock camera app, screen brightness is automatically set to maximum. I get that it's a feature some people like to take better photos but there should be an option to disable it. Other camera apps have this option but lack EIS or portrait mode. Would really like to use the stock app but this one issue is very annoying. Any help?

If you feel that the camera is really important then you can explore XDA for enabling google camera on phone .
The automatic is a default configuration in the phone and you cant do anything for that . Its actually useful because sometimes the display is visible during bright sunlight . Or else install the Nokia camera port on the phone. It will also give the extra PiP feature :laugh:
