I mainly use cm roms in my E610 phone. You can fine adapt every aspect of the phone using profiles, but you can't change brightness. It would be very useful, if i select profile i.e. 'outside', i propably need more brightness than in profile 'night'.
Or am i missing something? I 'd be very happy if there is a workaround.

whats wrong with automatic brightness ?
it adjusts the brightness depending on conditions the phone is in
Automatic brigthness doesn't work on my E610 too. I'm on CM11.
I think this phone doesn't have that feature.
Why don't you try the status bar brightness control?, it's a easy way to quickly change screen brightness.
Regards.
Our phone doesn't support automatic brightness.
Slide upper screen limit is what I do, but I thought it would be useful brightness to be included in profiling. Just an idea.

how about battery saving app ?
like http://download-androidapkfiles.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/brightness-manager-root-1102-full-apk.html
or
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ijinshan.kbatterydoctor_en&hl=en
they are/have a kind of profiles called triggers
I'm using Screen Brightness app from Play Store. It has few options to config, e.g. you can put app to notification bar or/and set 5leveled switch. It's nice app, you should try it too

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.
I just played with the brightness of my Arc and noticed that the autobrightness was deactivated afterwards.
I downloaded a lot of widgets to set it back to auto, but it didn't work with a lot of them.
Then I finally found "widgetsoid" and that finally worked to set it back to auto.
So if anyone else has the same problem, here you have the right widget and don't have to spend time on finding the right app or widget.
Hope that helps you guys, because I found it beeing very annoying.

In SE's Xperia line of phones, auto-brightness is ALWAYS enabled, no matter what you do (unless you run a non-stock custom ROM).
Try this, put the brightness slider around the 40% mark, shine a light on the sensor, if there's enough light, it will go to full brightness in no time. The same goes conversely.
And how to disable without use third part apps?
have anybody tried this app ? is it good ?
i read bad reviews like :
- unable to uninstall
- lag
- flood the widget list with so many stuff
etc etc
but it just reviews, so it might not be true, i don't know...
@ doomed and Lucas:
I just put the slider to max and then back down and it didn't work untill I set it to auto again with the app I mentioned in first post.

Widgetsoid is a fantastic program and works 100% with the Arc / Arc S
The auto brightness feature does work to a point, but you can also toggle 3 different percentages to suit where you are. I have mine set at 30%, 70% and 100%. You can also have a slider if you wish.
No problems at all with the app, although it's a bit complex to set up first time you won't be able to live without it in the end. Loads of options and configurations to keep anyone happy!

Auto brightness is disabled at the minimum and maximum point, only in the middle.
Ah, didn't know that.
In the middle it just worked a bit if even
After setting it back with the app I got it working again and I hope to have the stock SE setting back now.
I'm happy.
For people who get the same strange bug this might be usefull.

+1 for widgetsoid - I'm a long time user with my current Arc and previous HTC Desires and Hero phones.
As has already been said, its a bit complicated to set up initially but allows great functionality in a single widget.
Well worth a try.
i've been playing with it for a day now.
haven't check the auto-brightness feature yet, i downloaded this app at 6pm, so its already dark here. i've taken the arc on the street at night, and under room lighting, so far i think its always stay at 30% brightness. i'll see if this feature works under direct sunlight
there's a widget to view cpu temp and storage (rom,sd,ram) status now
just wondering, is there a way to make the storage status more accurate.
most the time, the ram status doesn't show the latest status. maybe there's a setting to make it check the ram status more uptodate

i have no idea about this. please explain it for me
The only thing I hate about widgetsoid is that you can't backup your setup, so if you do a Nandroid restore, you'll have to set up each widget again. I had about 8 switches, and then you have to choose a function, colour, opacity. Really sucks.
I'm looking for a decent app scheduler that can run an app by a set timed schedule?
I'm looking to start this screen dimming app (super dimmer), by a set schedule, around 8pm and to turn off at 6am.
The app itself does have an internal scheduler, but it does not work correctly, but the app works exactly as I need.
So what do I need to do this?
What exactly am i trying to do?
Well, I like the auto dimming feature of my phone, however at night, I do not like the lowest default dimming setting, I am comfortable with a much lower dim setting that Super Dimmer can provide. I basically want it to activate at sun down and deactivate at sun rise.
I would be even more interested in adjusting the phones default dimming ratio, if that is possible, if I can control and lower the auto dim setting in phone, that is preferable.
Taskbomb task scheduler?
Sent from my MyTouch 4G using XDA App
I did install taskbomb before writing this post, is that what I want to use? I just have no idea how to configure it.
Tasker is awesome. You shouldn't even need to use a secondary app with it.
Sent from my MyTouch 4G using xda premium
Well looks like my idea did not work correctly. For some reason that program doesn't toggle on and off like I would need it to in order to work with taskbomber.
So this tasker app, does it allow for dimmer settings below the default android 0%? I'm looking for 200 levels.

I havent tried to myself, but it does have ability to ask for SU and device admin permissions so I bet it does.
I got it, tried it, it does allow for you to set lower than default values for some devices but for some reason it doesnt go as low as super dimmer did.......
Hmm I'm all out of ideas now!
Is there anyway to adjust the brightness level of the auto brightness?
My problem is as follows: to save energy I usually set the brightness to the lowest level. If I want to use the tablet outside literally can't see anything because of that and have to go inside to adjust it. If I use auto brightness the brightness is to high though for most purposes. My ideal would be to use the brightness level the automatic mode sets minus 10% for example.
Sent from my ThinkPadTablet using xda app-developers app
Great Idea! I would really luike that one too. I'm pretty shure that the option doesn't exist in standard roms. But maybe an app?
I thought about looking for apps a couple of minutes after I started this thread and was kind of embarrassed. However, I didn't find any that worked the way I want them to.
I stumbled over one here in the forum lux something, but I doesn't work with jelly bean I guess.
If you find one, please let me know

Lux auto brightness does exactly what I want. You can set up different screen brightness settings for different lux values. It's an awesome app, check it out
If you have auto brightness, adapt display and auto adjust screen tone off aswell as having brightness in browser and main settings all the way up does your phone go slightly dimmer when entering the stock browser? If someone could test this it would be brilliant! Thanks guys

i believe there's some settings you have to tick in the stock browser's settings
Do you mean the brightness and auto brightness in the browser? Brightness is at full and autobright off... take it your phone doesn't dim at all?
