Hi, I want to know if anyone has a mod or a guide how to maximized the highest manual brightness above the limit.
Auto brightness with direct sun-light accomplishes to make the screen a lot brighter than the maximum manual brightness.
I read on the internet that there is some build.prop modifications that increase the brightness but no luck of finding specific guide how to do that.
Thanks in advance!

Hardly, I need to make the manual birghtness to increase above the limit of samsung. The screen is a lot brighter on auto-brightness when there are sunlight on the screen and I want that 100% brightness will be that value and not a darker one.
If it helps there is a file that called "actual_brightness" on "\sys\class\backlight\panel":
If I'm at maximum manual brightness the value on this file is 300,
If I'm at auto-brightness (+5) with strong light on the sensor, the value increase up to 400.
I want this too.

Hi all,
I found that the default auto brightness setting always render the screen darker than my favourite. For certain I want to keep the adaptive approach (i.e. the screen brightness will change according to my physical enviornment), however I would like to fine tune it such that it will always return a +1 / +2 brightness on top of the default return. Do anyone know any apps / tricks can I do so?
p.s. I know I can place an widget to manual adjust the brightness, but I am now looking for a way to fine tune the automated value.
Thanks all!

Did you ever solve this. Posted numerous times about a similar issue but never really found a proper solution.
You can use Tasker. Set up profiles for depending how much the light sensor sees, you can have the brightness exactly how you want. Note: You need to disable auto brightness for this to work.
Two things regarding brightness I've found in 2.1 and wanting to know if I'm just missing something or what:
No more automatic brightness setting
The maximum brightness setting is about 2x as bright as the maximum setting on 1.6

Yes there is, through the widget with the wifi, gps and the other stuff.
Furthest to the right is a brightness icon that you can press to get auto brightness.

The middle setting is auto. In fact, Kindle even says 'To enable display brightness, turn off the automatic brightness adjustment in display settings.'
Mine does not ask a thing. Doesn't seem as auto option but a medium setting instead.

I have to say i miss that feature too. A lot. The middle setting is not auto. I downloaded Spareparts and enabled auto brightness but it does not seem to work. Not like 1.6 did anyway.

Jep, same her... ATM I toggle between 1%, 50% and 100% with extended controls...

Hmm...did you actually put it infront of sunlight and check if the brightness automatically changes?
Alright everyone I was wary about the absence of the auto-brightness as well but I just did a test and I can confirm that the middle setting in the brightness setting on the power control widget is for auto-brightness. You can test this too by shining a bright light at the sensor, the screen brightness should INCREASE. Obviously a few of you mistook it for MEDIUM brightness which is understandable as the auto-brightness is between the minimum and maximum brightness under most circumstances, does that make sense?
Testet it with the Widget.
Seems to work. But in my opinion it worked better in 1.6.
Ah, good! Auto brightness is a critical feature IMHO.

Really? I've set the brightness in 2.1 to 100% which is as bright as 1.6 on 50%.

I second that. Much better in 1.6. Here it does not even change. You barely notice it when going from inside to outside etc... I also tried on the Desire of a friend, and same thing. So 1.6 must have been better at that I guess.
Somebody can tell me how to disable the feature of automatic brightness, leaving it at the value I want, independently by the light? sorry if it has already been asked, but with the search function in the threads I can't answer it myself.
Hope somebody will help, because now my battery is drained too fast =(

I use the Brightness Profiles app. It seems to hold the settings after reboots.
Anybody using Lux to control screen brightness? I mainly got it so I can get a dimmer screen setting for reading at night. I found that the default lux setting is too bright by default, typically being around 60% screen brightness during the day. So I'm curious what other people are setting the custom settings to.
Lux is cool because even though its auto adjust, if you find it to bright you can pull up the dashboard from the notifications drawer or the widget. Then slide the slider to where you think it should be according to the light level you are at. Then hold down the little icon that looks like a chain. This will "link" the brightness level with the current lighting level. You actually make lux better for you by personalizing it. Link as many settings as you want to various lighting levels.

Yeah. So far I like it. Just curious what % people are using for normal use. It also looks like stock min brightness on android is 15%. The low settings on lux go from 15% to 0% with nothing in between.

You guys should try screendim if you have root. You can adjust any brightness levels, it even has a second adjustment for contrast so you have a lot more control. Its not free but well worth the few dollars imo.

I just installed a custom kernel and it looks like it includes a 5% brightness setting. Should be good.
Anyone know to change browser brightness ??? I already set maximum brightness on setting but the White background is so dim... I got headache and dizzy after a few minutes of using which i don know why ( never got this when using my iphone 4s with maximum brightness )
You can't change the browser (Chrome) brightness independently of the system brightness. Not sure about 3rd party browsers as I don't use them. If you turn off auto brightness in settings and set it to full, that is the brightest it will get.
I've just set my brightness to high and the white is VERY bright, maybe you have a faulty display?

No my screen is not Yellow, the colours aren't as vibrant as my Galaxy S3, but I'm getting used to it, I use CM10.1 and CM kernel.

If you use a custom kernel you can customize the colors to your liking. Use Trickster Mod to change colors as an free alternative.
I saw a thread in Samsung division that ro.lcd min_brightness parameter in build.prop under path /system/ can be use to customize the minimal brightness.
However I can not find the same parameter in N4 so that I would like to know if we can customize the minimal,maximal,half brightness by our own and how?
Or is there any Mod available for this purpose. Thanks.
If you want to drop the brightness level for battery savings, I can't help you. But if you just want to read in the dark more comfortably, try the Screen Filter app.

In CM10 you have an option to change the brightness level manually at each lux level interval. It's a great feature to have as I find that as standard the brightness levels on all ROM's I've tried are set too high. With this method you can still have the brightness level adjust automatically but to your own levels rather than the predefined ones.

Get the app Lux. You can change the minimum and maximum range of your backlight. Lots of other customizations as well.
