How to remove brightness slider Note 4: http://youtu.be/H3mRY2Fstoo
Also, downloading Lux and using its auto brightness makes the brightness slider go away - no root needed.

For those already rooted this method avoids having to download a needless app. Lux is good for non root folks though. Good share

Okay, I don't know if this is the right place.. Or if it is currently even possible. (I know root isn't done or even close).. I figured development and this would be app development so it sorta works in this area.. But here's a little request for someone whose good with code and making apps:
But I want wondering if someone could create a custom auto brightness app that lets you set the max and min for the the auto brightness on the Incredible. I like the auto feature on the Incredible, but it gets way too high and drains the battery too quickly so I have to turn it off ..
So I would like to have an app that lets you set like EX: 5% as the minimum brightness and 40% as the maximum. Make it so you have have ajustable bars to move back and forth to pick your percentage or something along the lines of that. I think if someone managed to work some code and create this app it'd be heavily downloaded. So I was wondering if someone could make an app like this eventually in the future? Thanks again guys
Yeah, this would be cool. I am no developer, and there isn't anything in the market for this type if thing either, so i would assume it is really hard to do.
All you want it to do is be able to set the brightness? Just as a shortcut in a sense?
Dazzle is a pretty good alternative for the time being. hopefully someone can come up with something with something that does it automatically too.

(Sorry I'm Incredible53517 but I accidently had two accounts so we closed that one and now I'm just using my old one).
Okay, I want auto brightness but I want to choose how bright the phone gets bright and dim. I want to be able to set the max and min is what I'm saying and then have it automatically change by my surroundings...like the stock auto brightness does. I just think it'd be a nice features to have.. That's all. It'd save battery too.
This seemed like a good idea so I looked through the source code for Eclair and there doesn't seem to be any way to do this. All you can do is toggle auto brightness on or off and adjust the brightness when auto brightness is set to off. There is now way to cap the minimum and maximum brightness in the auto mode. Perhaps this is required by the hardware.
Sure, but couldn't you write a program to automatically adjust the brightness (with auto turned off within the OS settings) and set your own caps?
I'm not an Android developer, but this seems like it might be possible.

I am only a noob dev myself, and I'm only seeing a way to set the brightness, not sense how bright it is (read from light sensor).

Okay, that's fine. I figured it would be hard since no one has really made it yet. But thanks for trying! I appreciate it!
if you use the android widget for... "power Control" it has all your stuff you like to turn on and off... wifi/BT/GPS/Sync/Brightness... if you tap brightness it goes from auto> full brightness> lowest brightness> back to auto... I didn't know this until I just started using the widget
the widget is included with the phone its not a download
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.
Looked on google for this and found other people asking about it but no answer so far.
If i leave the screen brightness set to auto-adjust, the phone NEVER adjust the screen brightness down to it's lowest setting, even if i am sitting in a pitch dark room. Is there some way to adjust the range of the brightness setting so that it will actually use the lowest brightness? It seems beyond stupid that in a pitch dark room the screen doesn't go down to it's lowest level.
Most of the time i find the screen to be too bright, so if i could adjust the auto-brightness over-all to be darker, that would be cool too.
failing that, is there an app that makes adjusting the brightness quicker then digging down into the settings to move the slider?
thanks
I use widgetsoid (free) from the market place to do what you speak of and 7 other things as well.
i think i already have something that does what it looks like widgetsoid does. I have a button on the screen that i can tap that switches the screen between 3 brightness settings. i was just wondering if there was one where you could tap and get a slider. Seems silly to have the actual slider itself on the screen since that would take up so much room. But a button that would open up into a slider would be nice.
I'd still prefer to be able to adjust the autobrightness settings and use that if possible.
You can set autobrightness levels with tasker. There's a thread floating around with details.

Again, Widgetsoid does this. Once it is setup, modify, settings/Brightness Modes and set it Custom (Seekbar) or use one of the other 2 settings. You can change those as well with custom. Exit. Go to toggle and you have slider with one click on one button, which option of adding 7 more.

ah ok, cool, thanks. I'm going to see if i can find the thread about tasker since i'd prefer to have auto-brightness working better. if that fails then i'll give widgetsoid a try.
thank you
Just what I was looking for Screen brightness less then 10% and Less then Curvefish's toggle to 4%. I was looking for the 1% brighness and I think i got with the Widgetsoid only compaint is no exit after setting... Thanks
How can I decrease the minimum brightness? The fire simply does not get dim enough for me to read books in bed.
Fully rooted.
I sometimes reverse the colors so that it is white on black while reading at night.
Try useing Display Brightness v.2.2 (from RubberBigPepper).
It gives you far better control of brightness in 1% incraments and it can adjust the brightness to a lesser level then the KF controls allow. By it's measurmement the KF controls only scale from 11-100%, so you can definatly get the screen dimmer and save power. Best of all this program will work on Non-Rooted machines and thereby becomes a must for all KF users.
Look for it in the market place or other locations as a sideloaded APK.
Enjoy!
On a rooted device, you can also use AdjBrightness (in the Market) or my RootDim (in the Market, Appstore and here). Both are free and will let you go one step below what looks to me like the 1% minimum setting of Display Brightness, to 0.4%.
On a non-rooted device, you can also use my paid ScreenDim (in the Market and Amazon appstore), which adjusts brightness down 0.4% and also has a separate contrast control.
But if you want the on-every-screen adjust bar, Display Brightness is the way to go.
Awesome guys! Thanks.
Edit: I could not get RootDim to keep the brightness after exiting the app even with SuperUser privileges.. Display Brightness works like a charm!

Ran across the same issue. This solved it for me:
Screen Filter
(search android market, as forum won't let me post the link)
Works great!, and it lets you add a custom widget to the desktop to dim and undim with a single click.

You might try DisplayBrightness. It puts a custom slider that is available on EVERY screen to adjust brightness down to 1%.

I don't have a rooted Kindle, so I can't test it. Is Safe Mode off? Have you tried setting the lock in RootDim?
RootDim, AdjBrightness and ScreenDim (and I have tested ScreenDim heavily on the Kindle Fire) will get you to a slightly dimmer level (0.4%) than the 1% Display Brightness does, though that probably doesn't matter to you.

Yeah, I tired the 'lock' setting, but did not work.
Actually I was thinking that below 1% might be necessary for my needs. I'll check those apps out.
I recommend flashing cm7 and using rendering in settings menu for a nice Retro red or green monitor effect!

You can also get that with ChainFire3D on a rooted device.
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.
