I'd like to start this bounty thread with a $50 offering.
The requirement is to hack official HTC Sense roms to be able to set levels of brightness which autobrightness uses.
It could be done via an app, or a file edit, or the way cm6.1 does it. And it should be supported for the future OTA releases.
The only true requirement is that I never have to worry about setting brightness again, after I tweak the brightness values to my own eyes.
(technical: autobrightness adjusts the brightness of the lcd by reading the light level sensor. CM6 allows one to edit the table of brightness vs. light sensor. Sense might implement the autobrightness differently. Regardless of the implementation, the default values of brightness, that autobrightness uses, should be adjustable.)
In for $10

Sorry. No, there isn't.
Bounty updated.
edit your /system/build.prop from
Code:
# default value of brightness
settings.display.brightness=143
to whatever you would like. higher is brighter, lower is darker. xD
if this works for you, heres my donate link.

It's your build.prop, located in /system, just like he said.

That really has nothing to do what I was asking about in the op.

Try the CM6 nightlies, they have exactly what you are asking for.

The point is to do it in sense roms.
How does it not? that edit in your build prop will set the auto brightness level. Are you looking for an app or something?

I would like this issue to be fixed as well, but am curious to know how much a table would actually help. It seems that it may not be as bright outside as it is inside sometimes, but the sun reflects light a lot worse than a ton of florescent or artificial light does. When i am inside and all the lights are on, i can still read my phone with the brightness at 15%. But when its cloudy outside it needs to be at 100% or its hard to read from a direct angle. I would almost prefer to leave my brightness at 15% all the time, and then use a hardware switch like hitting both volume rockers together to toggle 100% and 15% to change the brightness.
It would be awesome if the evo used the front facing camera to detect the sky behind you or even use the better light senser in a camera, to detect and adjust the brightness. Probably not great for battery.

How does changing that setting qualify for manually adjusting autobrightness values?
Here's how cm6 does it. It creates a table:
Light Sensor level - Brightness
10 - 50
160 - 60
225 - 70
320 - 80
640 - 110
1280 - 140
2600 - 180
infinity - 255(max)
The autobrightness reads the light sensor level and then sets the brightness to the corresponding brightness value.

It works very well in cm6. It's not perfect, but when I was using cm6, I never had to worry about tinkering with brightness.

Dev is for people posting roms, kernels, software in development, not for posting "requests for development" and is probably why it was moved.

Hi all,
Happy with my new N7 except for one thing, the max screen brightness is a little low for me.
Now, this same thing happens with Stock ROM on the Galaxy Nexus, but when its flashed with CM10, the max brightness went way higher.
So, my question is, anyone tried any of the Custom ROMs on here and noticed that they can increase overall brightness of the screen any?
Thanks in advance,
Kev

Is there any rom or kernel making the screen brighter?
Hello,
I read that the S5 screen can go pretty bright, but only in certain situations and it's not controllable by the user.
Is there a hack that can allow me to set the screen brightness to be at its true max?
Thanks

the only way you can set a screen to max is by using auto-brightness. The note 3 had that max brightness but only using stock auto-brightness. I dont think there is way to mod that as the screen has a protection in order to prevent overheating
isn't it already bright enough at 600+nits?
its the brightest phone that exists

It is only that bright in direct sunlight. Normal max brightness is 351 nits. I believe it's 698 nits in direct sunlight. I believe OP is asking if there is a way to make it stay closer to the 698, via software hack.
To answer your question, even if it is the brightest phone out there, it still sucks in sunlight. In my honest opinion.

You might see if this Note II hack works for you. I have no idea if it will and it's possible it may simply brick you.

Search on Youtube "Hacking max brightness into AOSP for Samsung Galaxy Note 3"
and download the apps to hack your maximum brightness I dont know for sure if its working on S5 but on my S4 GT-I9506 (snapdragon800) makes a huge difference The GT-I9506 has a bit brighter screen in addition to the classic S4 around 5-10% and the classic S4 GT-I9505 can hit 475nits with autobrightness in direct sunlight so maybe my phone hits more than 500nits but I dont care about nits because the phone is really very bright!
Gday guys just wondering if this phone will be capable of a extra brightness mod like the nexus 6 was. In sunlight this phone is difficult to read..

Yep.. It's nothing like the note 5 in sunlight
Yes please, even my old S5 is easier to see in direct sunlight.
Yeah it's not great at all in direct sunlight
Wow even if adaptive display on I do not have problems with the screen brightness in sunlight. Maybe I just don't use my phone is direct sunlight as often as I think but I never have to turn my brightness above 50%. I find 100% with adaptive brightness off to be way too bright.
I would not risk any mod to increase brightness it will probably destroy your screen.
I hope this will help ! https://m.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/3xexxo/nexus_6p_high_brightness_mode/
Hello everyone, please take a look at the Original Development thread. From the top of my head, Franco and ElementalX kernels have this capability, it works wonders in direct sunlight.

Confirming, kernels include this capability, as well as the ability to overclock or underclock other system specs (not required, but possible). Speaking for high brightness mode on Franco Kernel using Franco Kernel Updater, it's maybe 15% brighter. Noticeable, but not dramatic. With this combination (FK + FKU), you can't simply increase the maximum value of the brightness slider. Instead you can either turn it all the way on or off manually from within the app, or have it automated (you can't adjust the settings, e.g. how bright, what threshold it triggers at, and it's still all the way on or off with the automatic setting).
Can't speak for elementalx, but I hope someone delivers a more elegant solution. EDIT: having just watched a video about elementalx, turns out that kernel allows you to automate the trigger with tasker. Again, it's still either all the way on or all the way off. Judging by the video the brightness didn't appear to differ from franko kernel's high brightness mode.
It's the same on all kernels. I brought the feature to this device and also created a handy widget( check my sig). The beta version of the widget has an auto mode
Hi, I have a OP8 Pro, and after the update to Android 11, i get a green tint instead of blacks on the screen when i am bellow 40% brightness.
When i was running android 10 that was no issue, so i am pretty sure its not the hardware.
Do you have any ideas why this is happening? Will One Plus fix this?
Common issue reported by many...
Personally I don't have the issue at any brightness but it's due to low brightness which is why the lowest brightness was removed in an update and readded in labs in android 11, turn that off and run FHD (QHD doesn't give they much clarity anyway, plus your battery life will be better)
There's a good few threads regarding this issue already, have a look.
Thank you!

Terrible screen tint/uniformity
Hi guys, looks like OnePlus have got some quality control issues. My unit has terrible colour issues with the display. It's very noticeable at low brightness levels and still apparent around the 50% mark. I've reached out to OnePlus about sorting...
