Hello everyone, there is another application or to increase the minimum level of auto brightness?

So you wanna make the screen darker than it can go normally? I dont think you can.
I actually read it to mean the opposite (increase the minimum level would surely mean make the lowest level of the auto-brightness mode brighter?), but if what you said is OP's intention, Screen Filter should do it.

I second Screen Filter. It's configurable by percentage of reduction in brightness, and since it's an app rather than a mod, it can be turned off when you don't want to use it and used only when you want. I find it helpful and simple to use.
I wanted to find a way to increase the brightness when you type in the dark or with just a little light because the current level is really low, I hope that I explained well

Please add the option of modifying auto-brightness levels, like CM 6.1. I suppose that it would require a kernel modification + an app to do this through gui.
Thanks.
What can CM do? I've been thinking it would be nice to be able to modify the min and max, and maybe the curve.

It allows one to arbitrarily edit a table of sensor output vs brightness/button brightness.
It's really nifty.
CM6.1 reports these sensor values:
10, 160, 225, 320, 640, 1280, 2600, 10240
10-160 is in dimly lit indoors, 320-640-1280, in moderately to brightly lit indoors, and the rest is outside.
So I set those to brightness something like 50,60,70,80, 110, 140, 180, 255. A it was perfect to my eye. Not too bright, not too dim.
Didn't ever have to mess with brightness after that.
I'd really like to hear from developers like Netarchy and King, as well as from regular users - if they would like that option.
I would love to see this.
I always feel the auto-sensor tends to be too bright, and never adjusts the screen low enough inside.

That's exactly what I think. Plus, the brightness is not at maximum in direct sunlight (although that might be a safety feature).
Mine always send to bright, or it won't get bright when I go into a bright area until I sleep and wake it. :|

+1 on this. So motivated that I searched for this thread....
Any news?

The stock auto-brightness is way too bright in completely darkness. This is one of the things I had on my list nearly since the beginning. Nobody else seemed to care.

An article showing how useless auto-brightness is:

Do people not notice this or do they just not care?
Pretty sure people have given up on this. It's taken me three days of Google searching to find this thread so people probably don't know where to turn.
The lack of adjustments to the auto brightness values is extremely annoying. Even my old Windows mobile 6 phones had this ability.

There was an application for WM I used to use on my Mogul, cant remember what it was called but it allowed you to calibrate the auto brightness levels. Anyone know what I'm talking about, or if there's an Android version?
This can be done with Tasker in the Market. Its a powerful app and there was a thread a while back about this exact thing. I don't remember what it was called, but I posted in it, so you could browse my posts from a month or so ago.
Hey... This thing makes phone calls too!
Hi, I'm using parandroid but I've seen the low brightness is more light than aokp for example...
And if I let the display on , a little bit before it turn off in automatic mode the brightness reduces...
So question is:
Is it possible set lower brightness?

i wanted to go a bit lower on the last step but forgot about it - i had to adjust these setting when the calibrated kernel came in, right now its using the original LG settings. the low end is def too bright.

Try the app lux. Best app i found for brightness controll.

brightness levels are controlled by the rom, not the kernel. usually the vendor/manufacturer of the screen controls these values, he's also the one providing the kernel. in our case thats LG. google screwed up the kernel by cranking gamma to maximum, thats why it looks so horrible out of the box. they had to compensate and changed the auto-brightness levels, too. if you calibrate a kernel you're still bound to these values. for pa i calibrated the kernel and reverted googles autobrightness changes, but the low end is not perfect yet, needs to be a tiny bit darker.

moles any plans on including the manual auto brightness adjustments setting? I think its in aokp?
the implementations that i have seen are too complex in my opinion. i think cm is the originator of what you mean. its one thing to say you're close to stock but then your users trip from simple/intuitive android into customization hell that needs books and tutorials to be managable. last time i used it i had to set fricking lux values, dunno if its still like this. i'd rather get the values right straight up.
R: [Q] low brightness
with cm I can change lux values?
But I prefer pa...only..

Good day or night everyone!
I am trying to get below the minimum level of brightness, that can be reached in android 4.2.2 on Nexus 7. To read at night and save battery.
I've read many threads, but found no answer. SreenDim, Lux Auto Brightness and analogs on CM10.1 doesnot lower the level more. They just stop really lowering it beginning from 5 or 10%, depending on measurment they use.
Does this mean, that Nexus 7 brightness can't be lower than the one on original Android Jelly Bean?
Please, don't suggest any screen filters, that are not phisically lowering the LCD backlight lamp's brightness.

I suppose you could clone somebody's kernel from their git tree and build your own kernel with your mods added.
You might want to follow this post in the M-kernel thread. Not sure if other existing kernels drop the default - try searching in some of the kernel threads.
1. Install M-Kernel
2. Install rootdim
3. Ruin your eyes by staring at screens at night.
Thank you, bftb0 and Keion for fast and very needed answers..
How do you, people, really find this information? ) I was searching the web fo 2 weeks, and couldn't find useful answers...
Sorry for another question, but is it possible to lower brightness the same way on a stock ROM?
Much obliged in advance.

Dunno. Not an expert on this topic. FWIW, I read between the lines in that post that if you lower the minimum a lot, you will probably want to completely turn off auto brightness control, as the minimum brightness interval step size gets (relatively) large so any slewing of brightness will look like bad flickering.
(Sort of make me wonder if many of the "my screen has bad flicker" reports come from the same people that have their brightness turned all the way down...)
Just Download ScreenFilter From Google Play

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
