Anyway to disable daydream completely? Or to make it dim the screen instead? I know there is a none option which makes it go to sleep with a black screen or something.
Yes when you choose a daydream you can choose none and change the timeout to five minutes.

Evening all
I'm after a widget so i can dim the screen more easily than dropping into setting after setting.
There's loads i hear you shout..
Well all i've tried set the screen nice and dim for the screen only to getting brighter again as soon as the app is closed. I've tried it with auto adjust brightness on and off and all allow the system to revert back to the initial brightness set.
Help before the wife kills me while i midnight browse in bed.
All of the widgets i have used do the same thing as you describe. The 'Toggle Settings' app works fine for me though.
EDIT: no it doesn't. Arse.
yup tried that and failed lol
also tried making a short cut to the systems settings for brightness but failed on that as well.
Noticed something possibly odd about this- The brightness scales on Toggle Settings and in the actual settgngs menu have a different scale. It's possible to make the TOggle Settings app say that you have minus 10% brightness.
I've no idea if that helps
anything new about this? i tried some, but they all changed the brightness for a short time, and then the hero changed it back
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
Okay, so as the title says, the screen on my VZW GS4 seems to be changing the hue depending on what colors are being shown on different parts of the screen. For example, when I get a text and the little green icon pops up in my notification bar, the whites on the screen darken, and as soon as the icon is gone, they go back to normal.
The same thing happens in the youtube app. When playing full screen videos colors get lighter (and more unrealistic) and then when I click on the screen and the pause button and other menu buttons shows up, the colors darken and become more realistic.
I've turned Adapt Display off and this happens whether it in Dynamic, Standard, or any other of the display modes. This strange behavior is very familiar when the phone is set to the lowest brightness.
Anyone know why this might be happening or know a possible solution?

Just tried that and it still seems to be doing it. It'd quite annoying especially when in apps with dark backgrounds or night themes. Anyone have any other suggestions?
Is there a way to enable Ambient display on the mate 8 or something similar so when I receive a notification, the screen will light up itself?
Also the notification light led is very dim, hardly noticeable compared to samsung devices.
On the dimness issue, have you tried turning off the auto brightness feature in your shortcuts pulldown?
Think for yourself. Question authority.

I use ZUI Locker to get lock screen notifications. Echo is also good. The screen lights up on notification and the duration can be specified.
settings --> screen lock & passwords --> notification turn on screen

correct, I discovered it but weird that it only works with certain lock screen themes and not with all, you must select the theme with (magazine)
FYI I installed xposed with both gravitybox and the ambient display module. Neither works.
If you use RR rom or any other custom rom like RR then you probably know that when you play a song then the music visualizer (aka 'pulse' under configuration >nav bar) floats upon the navbar, and so i wanted to turn that feature on when the screen was off and so i did a trick to enable it with daydream mode and i thought it might look cool and it does looks amazing on AMOLED screens, if its having a black background on an amoled display then the pixels are turned off as you all know and thus turning on with daydream mode really looks amazing so i thought of sharing this wih you all
First enable daydream mode under display & lights and select clock now tap on that setting icon right next to it now go ahead and select your style that you want, i had selected digital and turn on night mode now select when to daydream on the upper 3 dots (drop down menu) and set to either
Now go into nova settings and select gesture & inputs and now you need to select a gesture it can be anything but i had select swipe up now go to shortcuts and select activities, now scroll way down till you see System UI and tap on it and now select daydream and you're done. Now you can go into display & lights again and you can increase its display timeout, I set it to 60 minutes when i listen to music without charging and when i don't i set it back to usual timeout 30 sec
