are you using CyanogenMod? if so you can lower the brightness of the keys in the auto backlight menu inside the cyanogenmod settings.

You cannot
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Yes, you can.
In CM based ROMs, it's in:
CyanogenMod Settings / Display / Automatic Backlight / Light levels
Use custom , then Edit other levels...
Set level of "Buttons" to lower level, e.g. 5
Save & apply
No way to do this other than with cyanogenmod??
The same menu is also in MIUI (it was "borrowed" from the CM project)

Power Saving Mode Tip - What I learned

.
I was messing around with the power saving mode just now. I realized that when I tick-on "Screen power saving" I can notice a huge slow down on the whole ui. Now remember everything else is ticked-on including the cpu limiter. But with "Screen power saving" turned off, I couldn't tell the difference between power saving mode and non-power saving mode. Which leads me to conclude the "Screen power saving" is doing some major cpu calculation which might actually not be so great as it defeats the purpose of power saving.

That power saving mode and blocking mode are the stupidest two things that they pushed on android.. I never used thise things. Also, that screen brightness adjustment in notification menu is so annoying,and I never touched it. And whyv they added those extra toggles in notification menu next to sound,wifi ,mobile data,etc so now everything slides from side to side and I always press something that I don't want. Or maybe there is a possibility to turn those off and I can't find how to..

Toggles can be customized even on stock.
And power saving mode really does save battery, and its customizable.

It saves battery but it destroys performance. It is acting like galaxy ace when on power saving mode . Please show me how to customise the toggles, because I can't find out how after 10 days of looking into the settings. Can I move the brightness adjuster too? Thanks

Sorry, didn't realize it is a 4.1.2 feature!
But I don't understand how you can say that power saving mode destroys performance, I hardly notice any difference in normal usage. It's basically just the cpu locked at 1 ghz.

The screen power saving mode does something with the screen's refresh rate, if you have it on you will notice the screen flickering in a very fast rate, so the slow down in the UI is probably because of the screen is skipping every other frame making it seem like it slowed down when it is not

Does make sense, but would that really save a lot of Battery? I think the sweet spot now is to just tick on CPU Limiter while leaving everything off. [Obviously people who use CPU apps don't really need this feature as they can modify the CPU even more] Too bad I really don't use this feature much as of yet but will report back if I find anything new. I'll try to use the phone for a couple days with just the CPU Limiter ticked on this weekend.
If you want to save power on your Note 2, you might use SetCPU, Screen Filter & Juice Defender Plus, these apps help me a lot to save battery.
Because it limits your screens fps to like 40 or 30

I strongly believe it is lower then 30FPS.. Perhaps below 25fps.
HOWEVER if you uncheck Screen Power Saving, the FPS returns back to normal. I usually use Power Saving mode with only Power savings on, this way performance is not affected.
What's interesting is that I've been testing power save mode on some pretty high end games like modern combat 4 and nfs most wanted and you only lose 4-8 fps on average, but it still remains over 30 fps.
This is with all the options ticked in power save mode. For gaming while off the charger, it would help extend the battery quite a bit.

If that is true, I hardly find a reason to NOT use power savings until more graphics demanding games come out. I'll also test it out on Deadzone.

Well those extra fps could come in handy, but if power save gives extra playing time then it might be worth the slight loss.

Exactly my experience too.
Also, it's not the fps getting capped, lower fps is just a result of capped cpu frequency, but the refresh rate is capped, which could lead to a certain amount of flickering even though I cannot see it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Minimum screen brightness - devil kernel?

Hey together,
I wondered, if it's possible to reduce the minimum screen brightness, which is set to 10 in the system settings.
I don't want to use any third party app like rootDim, etc. I'm running the latest official nightly along with Devil2-2.3.2 kernel installed, can the problem be solved using the settings seen in the attached screenshot?
Thanks in advance,
klenamenis

you can have a try to adjust the automatic brightness levels yourself.
For me it's OK to set it to 2.
来自我的 Find 5 上的 Tapatalk
I did, but there's the limit set at 10 - meanwhile it's 5 due to some experimenting with the kernel values, although I don't know what exactly caused the drop.
System settings of automatic brightness attached.

Bump. Anyone?
I also found this line in /system/build.prop, but changing it doesn't have any noticeable effect.
Code:
ro.lcd_min_brightness=5
That is a config value in the device tree

Volume (too) low

Guys volume on stock(kitkat) and kitkat based(miui) is way to low as compared to what it was on jelly bean(4.2).Is there anyway we can increase is to at least as much as on stock jellybean?Can we replace its "media_path.xml" file?
Thanks[emoji4]

A screenshoot or something?
I'm currently using this app from this thread. It fixed my brightness to one value and seems to be doing it's job on Nougat. I'll update later but it seems to working for me.
