CM7 Automatic backlight settings

There has been a lot of posts under the CM7 nightly thread about people not being happy with the auto brightness settings on the Droid Incredible, I was one of these people till I decided to take sometime and figure out how it works and now I would like to share the setup I've came up with. I'm sure that not everyone will like my setup, but I do think it's much better than the current defaults so hopefully it'll make some people happy.
I started out with a list of goals I wanted achieve for my setup and I think I did pretty well.
1. It needed to be easy on battery life
2. It has to work in all lighting conditions. It must be easily read in really dark rooms and in bright sun light.
3. I didn't want the screen brightness to "jump" it had to be subtle.
4. It has to be responsive to changing light conditions.​
I want to give credit to byrong because with out his testing that he published here, I'm not sure if I would achieved all of my goals especially when it came to battery life. Also to the entire CM team, you guys are great and its much appreciated that you guys give us such support for the latest android OS.
Below you'll find all my settings, please feel free to comment and let me know how it works for you. Please remember I've only tested these settings in CM7 and that I have an AMOLED Incredible so I'm not sure how these settings work for people with the SLCD Incredible.

Thanks for showing your entire setup. A lot of people have been sharing their levels without sharing their other settings.
I've been meaning to mess around more with the CM7 auto-brightness. The one day I tried it, I became very frustrated: it seemed that the sensor was only detecting a few ambient brightness levels and was especially sloppy in dark areas.
When I get some more time, I want to try out your settings and see how they work for me.
Hm, looks like I'll have to wait until tomorrow to hit the Thanks button; apparently I've already clicked it too many times today

NP at all.
You are absolutely right the sensor itself only picking up a few levels; 160,225,640,1280,& 2600 to be exact, from what I can tell. Thats why having filtering on is so important.

brightness levels have been a pretty frustrating subject for me, keeping the brightness to max is what I usually have to do, but its an obvious battery killer. Giving this a shot. thanks for the info!

Any update guys?? I want to gauge how well it is working for other people. For me its perfect I have not had to tweak it one bit yet.

I went back to manual levels.
The filtering definitely helps, but unfortunately only delays the inevitable. They are just averaging the current raw readings against previous raw readings. This creates in-between values as you shift from one ambient lighting condition to another, but since the raw sensor only reads a fixed number of levels, even the filtered value will eventually shift back to one of the fixed raw levels.
userjf and slayher have been experimenting with ways to add more raw light levels via a custom kernel. Seems that the max number of readable levels is 10. Hopefully that will become a more commonplace mod that will make the auto-brightness more usable.

I was wondering how you got all those different levels to display? mine only displays about 5 is that because I am running a SLCD dinc versus an AMOLED dinc

Click the "set number of levels" button at the bottom, then input the number of levels you would like...

I will try these levels out, looks like they may work great, I will report back n let you know...

I am giving these a try as well. The automatic brightness has been generally dissapointing on my Dinc with CM7 thus far

These settings are an improvement but they are not as good as they used to be on CM7 RC1 & the early nightlies. In the final version of CM7 they increased the brightness scale, see this thread for more details, you can see it now scales to 10240 instead of 2600 which makes my settings not as effective, it stay brighter longer than they did before but at its still an improvement of the defaults since the levels don't jump and down often. I recently upgraded to a Tbolt, so I don't have my Inc handy, once I do I'll see if I can dig up my modified settings for the final version of CM7 and post them here.

I am running CM7.0.0 if it helps
Nothing in .0.1 or .0.2.1 or .0.3 was compelling enough for me to go through reconfiguring everything.

I have been using these settings for a couple of weeks now and I am very satisifed withe the results . It helps saving the battery by dimming the screen in doors or low light situations and brightens the screen in high light situations making it easier to see the screen in sunlight

Works well for me. Much better than the stock levels.

I agree, these settings are much much better than what's in the latest nightly! Great work!

Ok, I'm going to assume for a moment (yes, I know what happens when you assume) that I have something not set right. I have my settings exactly like the ones in the updated screenshot, yet my back light stays at a very low setting and never changes. I have the auto back light box checked in my settings, but I'm still not getting any brightness changes from one lightning environment change to another. I'm running CM7 RC3, no nightlies (which may be the problem). Not sure which screen I have but I will research how to tell.

Here are my settings on CM7. They seem to work for me pretty well except in bright daylight... This setup keeps my battery for quite a long time, even if I use it a bunch.

[REQ] Moto X notification screen

Thats the thing, its not daydream, it triggers when you pick up the device, and it shows you the time and notifications.
I know it won't look as good on non Amoled screens, but still.
http://youtu.be/lbGmfk8yaZU?t=2m25s <- You can see how it works here (it's the only video i can find right now)

This will drain your battery. The Moto X has an AMOLED screen which means that each pixel produces it's own light and can be turned on/off independently of the rest.
The Nexus 4 has a LCD screen. LCD screens have one large backlight. Each pixel is actually a shutter that opens and closes letting light through or not. Even if one pixel needs to be illuminated then the whole backlight has to turn on. this uses WAY more battery than an AMOLED which only has to turn on that single pixel.

Just saw the video. I wanna try this as-well .

Its only going to drain your battery as much as a normal lock screen would. Good logic. Battery drain depends on brightness on the nexus.

With the Moto X the screen turns on when you get a notification. NBD on the Moto X because you're only turning on a few pixels, it's not using that much power. If this happened on the N4 then it would be a problem because you're turning on the whole screen which would suck power down very quickly.

It would drain more battery. His logic makes complete sense. As of right now, we have a notification light that lets us know about pending notifications, this example here is what the moto X has in exchange.
In his description of how each screen works, the notification and time on the moto x would use significantly less battery than that on the nexus 4 because the N4 would have the entire screen on, while the moto x (while displaying the notifications) would only light up the pixels necessary to show us the notifications.

I'm sure there's an option to turn it on when you want to, with the powerbutton. Traditional lock style. Still leaving the notification light active on the n4.

Yeah the instant on thing would be a total battery killer. I would still like the lockscreen just without that though. I really like the look, simple yet capable.

[Q] Lowering actual panel brightness (below minimum)

Hey guys,
I've searched these forums quite thoroughly, and I haven't found any kernels/ROMs that allow for the display brightness to go past its minimum brightness settings. If you've had an iPhone, you'll know that the iPhone's minimum brightness is so much lower than the Nexus 4's. It makes using it at night so much easier on the eyes.
In all the threads I've come across, people just suggest to use Lux, or any of the other apps that just put a filter over the screen. These just make the screen grey, and just mute the colours - they don't actually reduce the brightness past 0.
I know that lowering the minimum brightness is possible; at least it is on other devices. On the Nexus 7, M-Kernel has a file that you can edit to change the panel's minimum brightness, and on my old Xperia Play, the RootDim app [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.pruss.superdim&hl=en] allowed lowering the panel's brightness.
So, has anyone come across any kernels/ROMs that actually allow reducing of the panel's brightness past 0?
Oh, and I emailed the guy who made the RootDim app, and he mentioned something about pwm drivers. Does anyone know more about that?
Thanks!

I think I was able to do this on my old phone (HTC Wildfire) using Cyanogen. But no guarantees. Also, no idea if that is still supported or works on the N4...

If it's purely about using it at night I would recommend Screen Filter. I prefer not to mess with forcing my screen to use values outside the tried and tested boundaries set by the manufacturer.

For what it's worth, the "lowest" brightness by default is 5%. CM lets you adjust this down to "0%" but it seems autobrightness is a little buggy.
edit: nevermind. The range for autobrightness is 5-100 by default. When manually setting brightness, I believe "0" is possible on stock? I agree there are times a dimmer setting would do. Changing gamma settings can get you deeper colors and result in a dimmer looking display. Opposite of the graying you're referring to.

I'm wondering about this too, in bed at night the screen is too bright on the eyes which makes the reading time much less,
on amoled screens its great due to no backlight which doesn't make the eyes tired,
there must be a way to reduce the backlight, but it may make the backlight flicker if undervolted, which would be worse on the eyes

Have you tried playing with the gamma settings and dropping the brightness down to 0 manually (autobrightness only goes down to 5%).
Halfbreed is pretty decent and results in a "dimmer" display without washing/graying everything. Only problem is under daylight, it's not effectively as bright.

I'll try messing with the brightness and gamma settings. It's a shame there isn't a better alternative right now.
Maybe, in the future, a developer makes a kernel with this built in (if possible). Fingers crossed! :/

For what it's worth, I think you'll find 0% brightness and halfbreed to be exactly what you're looking for.

Download twilight and try it. It has an option to lower the screen brightness further...

Bumping my own thread:
I talked to the Nexus 7 (2012) kernel dev who managed to lower the panel minimum brightness, and he pointed me toward this:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/lge-...ch/arm/mach-msm/lge/mako/board-mako-display.c
I'm hoping a Nexus 4 kernel dev will see this (or someone who knows what to do with it). He said it might be possible to do on our displays. Also, go check out M-Kernel if you still have a 2012 Nexus 7.

So, we just need to chance it and compile the kernel?

[Q] psychedelic screen in full sunlight...

Has anyone used their screen in full sunlight?
a few of us on the Australian Model (910G) has found that in full sunlight in any of the 4 modes the auto brightness seems to adjust the screen WAY up so that colours are washed out and the screen looks psychedelic.
Its utterly revolting.
is there any way to disable this OTHER than disabling auto brightness?
or is this a firmware bug?

Hey mate I have been in full sunlight a number of times and not noticed this at all. I would notice it as I am quite picky.

I can force it by a small LED torch as well (after about 30-40 seconds of steady bright light) It's not just me though At least two others I know have it as well...

I have something of the same... In the sunlight i can use it fine but when i put a shadow over it... it looks a bit weird in contrast with the part of the screen in the sunlight. I thought it would be something to do to make the screen better in the sun!

Under direct sunlight I can barely notice this, I have just tested at my work as the sun shines in through a window next to me. If I hold it under direct sunlight it does boost the saturation, but while it's under sunlight I can barely tell this has happened. When I take it away you can tell that it has boosted the saturation but it's not Psychedelic to me at all. So I believe my phone doesn't have this issue.

It is supposed to do this when Auto Brightness is enabled. The picture should answer some of your questions and better understand what exactly is taking place.

May be irrelevant but someone mentioned this to me last week and I suggested to change the "screen mode". It's default is adaptive and for some, is terrible at ruining colours in any light... I believe he changed it to "Basic" or try any other the other three choices and said it worked (for the most part).. Was less crazy anyways, I believe he said.. Worth a shot

Thanks for bringing this up because I thought I had a defective device

screen brightness

Got the phone for my wife and were both coming from a galaxy s5 and it just seems like the screen is not bright on the highest settings. I cant compare it to another phone because its not sold it store yet where I could play with a demo unit. She says its fine for her but its bugging me thinking I got a defective device.

Really, I actually think its too bright...I want the ability to lower the brightness from its lowest stock setting...

It seems pretty dark to me at the lowest setting. Try turning adaptive brightness off and then lower it yourself.

It gets a lot brighter then the s5. Try turning off adaptive brightness in the display settings. While adaptive is on, the brightness slider is the brightest it will get, not necessarily where it will be set in that lighting. With adaptive off, it actually sets it where the slider is.

Seems I either have a defective unit or maybe the screen protector she put on is blocking some light. Its a zagg antiglare I believe. I did order a tempered glass one to replace it with. Ill have to take it off and see.

the mxpe display is 715 nits vs 442 on the s5, the mxpe should be one of the brightest displays on market

I must say I have to agree with what everyone else is saying--the display is very bright, too bright for most indoor usage at even 50% imo.

Where did you find the MXPE is 715 nits? I have been searching for any review talking about realistic nits but haven't found anything.
The S5 gets way brighter than 442 when using the Auto Brightness feature. The S5 actually gets up into the 700 range in nits.
