Lower brightness settings

Hi
Could someone told me if there is a mod or some settings to do in order to get a brightness lower than the min value, I do use the phone sometimes at night but I found out that the min value is too bright for me, compared to my xperia S, which is very low..

Is this maybe that thing that you're looking for?
Screen Filter
This app makes your colours look washed out, but makes the backlight less intense.

Thank you, screen goes a little grey but it's fine

There is an app called LUX, which can reduce you brightness to "0". It also does a much better job of auto brightness control that Android does in general, so your battery should last longer

[Q] Nexus 4 notification light

My Nexus 4 just arrived and while playing with it I noticed that the notification LED was nowhere near as bright (50%) as my Nexus 3 (Galaxy Nexus). It also flashes at a much slower rate than the GNex!
Is this normal?
Can anyone else confirm this please?

Yes its normal.

It's really hard to see the light in a bright room and the reduced frequency means that the notification could be missed easily.

Nothing you can do to make it brighter. You can install light flow form the play store to customize colors and frequency.

Adjust your brightness settings? flash a custom rom that gives you more control of your led light???

and,.. what rom would that be?

Just install light flow mate. As someone else said you can have a different color for each notification and you can set now fast it blinks.
You can even set the light to be solid so it doesn't even blink.
When you set colours they are a lot easier to see than the white ish one that's stock.

Thanks, going to do that right now!

Light manager works well too. I like it better than light flow because it doesn't drain as much battery

These apps from the playstore drain too much battery. You can get almost the same control over your LED if you flash a ROM like CM or ParanoidAndroid, you will find the preferences for LED under display in those ROMs

Light Flow don't drain battery and bright settings are no ajustable.

Many custom roms allow you to customise the auto brightness, but I prefer to use lux auto brightness app - it is brighter by default. I'm not sure about the HTC one, but using one of those two solutions (and colour calibration if necessary using a custom kernel) it will improve

I strongly recommand you to actually upgrade to full version of lux.
The auto profile is amazing, during night time it automatically dim out more than the day profile. Best 4 bucks I've ever spent on play store

I will definitely buy the full. For now I will run it as much as possible. I'm having good battery life and this app seems no effect on it.

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.

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

Gamma news

How about this?
It's a pretty unusable interface but they modify the gamma!

"adjusts the screen colors and content"
You sure this isnt just "vivid" mode where grass is neon green for people with bad eyes?

Try yourself with smallest changes from original position and check with display tester

All it says is it turns it on. Trickster MOD Kernel has color adjustment too. I wonder whether this require CPU power and thus causes battery drain though.

Tap again on the bar and you get to the adjustment interface.
It allows you to increase contrast and change hue.

Instead of using your thumb, I wished they provided some scalers. Very hard to calibrate a screen using the current method.

It dies change gamma but not consistently through all colors

but... This means that the gamma values ​​can be changed by software and the kernel is not gamma locked!
how about a modiefied rom that provides some scalers to color change interface?

Exactly what I was thinking.
Basically something that allows us to independently adjust Hue, Saturation and Luminance for RGB. :good:

I can't seem to make any improvement using this feature. I can certainly make things worse.
I suspect this feature is to help with color blindness. Best position is top center.

Top center is default.
Try small adjustment. .. very small!

I have. Sometimes I just slightly roll my fingertip.
From what I can tell: Left/Right is Hue/Tint Up/Down is Saturation (maybe some Gamma).
