Change lowest possible brightness level - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Even on the lowest setting the screen is brighter than I would like. Is there a way to change the lowest possible brightness setting?

rootdim is also an alternative

I'm assuming that this won't extend battery life?

You can also use night mode app.. It's simple and easy to use..

There is still a standard brightness in Display settings. Turn off auto brightness and set brightness manually down. Have not tried any filters.
I have done that i wad looking to reduce auto brightness amount.
I did figure it out. Go to cyanogen settings> display> backlight> custom settings. I'm the grid reduce the amount for the different levels then click save and apply.
*observations:
1) reducing by 2 makes a good difference.
2) to get settings to stick sometimes i had to uncheck use custom settings.
3) reboot to get settings to stick if uncheck didn't work.

Use samurai kernel, normal brightness goes much lower, or, use app called "screen filter"

Auto brightness question.

Whenever I turn auto brightness on it seems to go to the lowest possible setting (usually around 5%)...and I never really see it go above 30-40%. Is this normal?

Put it out on direct sunlight. Did it change brightness?

Mine does the same but I never use auto brightness I wish I knew why though.

Then the sensor is fine. You may wanna use some market apps if you want it to change screen brightness at certain brightness levels of your surroundings.
Edit: and make sure you don't have the sensors covered by your screen protector if you are using one. That could screw up the amount of light the sensors are receiving causing your phone not to respond to changes as I should.

OK my auto brightness never worked as u can see from my above post. I reverted back to stock i mean a complete wipe and flashed stock Boot images and guess what? Now my auto brightness works. :thumbup::thumbup: Im back rooted and using francos kernel and killrom and everything is peaches.

Try LUX app

Make Battery Life Better ROOT

I am all stock rooted. I have screen full brightness, GPS off, bt off, nfc off data and Wi-Fi on. Any ideas how to increase the life via root.
Thanks

Root won't give you better battery life maybe a custom ROM and kernel would help
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
From my experience (I like 100% brightness also) you will probably only get about 3hours screen on time with 100% brightness regardless of what rom or kernel you run

Can we dim the menu and back keys?

Hey guys I recently bought the Lux Auto Brightness app which dims your display according to your environment. I would like to dim my hardware keys because when I'm in a pitch black room the keys are still bright......Any ideas would be awesome. Thanks

Up to my knowledge you can only shorten the duration of the back lit keys or turn them off completely. Settings>Display>Touch key light duration. I have my keys to not lit up at all and i like it.
i dont see that option in display

You can try batteryguru from play store.
It has this option.

battery saving
You can try a Rom with the battery saving feature, im running Nexus 5 experience rom CM 11 and it has the option to enable battery saving. It just reduces CPU when screen is off. Other Roms have even more options such as turning off Location when screen is off.
would an f2fs format rom increase battery ?

No.
F2fs only increases I/o speed, if you even notice it at all.
