I am playing around with lux autobrightness app.
I was wondering if a plugin for 6p would be useful . There are plugins for different devices like nexus 5
Link the app and the plugin info - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1944921
The benefits are
Higher quality astronomer/night modes and subzero adjustment
On screen buttons are adjusted
Screenshots are no longer discoloured
Improved contrast
No more screen overlay means slightly less cpu usage
It would be great if someone with java knowledge would be willing to give a shot.
Thanks

Is there any way to adjust the backlight's brightness beyond the 5 levels available in the Control Panel? Even on the lowest setting, the screen is still very bright if you're reading in an otherwise dark environment.
Any help or pointer to working third-party solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Good question. I've seen Palm software that allows finer-grained backlight settings, but nothing for WM5/6 (much less Wizard-specific). It would be nice, though...
just wondering what you guys recommend for
(1) Screen Mode
Adaptive Mode (I turned this off... doesn't seem to make a diff?)
Dynamic
Standard (currently set on this)
Professional Photo
Movie
wanted to try Pro Photo and Movie.. but both make the screen yellow.. and reds washed out
(2) Auto Adjust Screen Tone
just wondering if you guys keep this on or off?
(3) Auto Brightness?
do you guys use this or manual adjustments?
(4) Power Savings - Use low power level for screen
1. Dynamic : because i love bright & vivid colors
2. Turned off : to preserve the bright & vividness of colors
3. Turned off : whenever i need i just slide the brighness slider.
4. Turned on : for most activity. Turned off while gaming
Standard, off, off, off. Brightness slider is set to about 10%.
Lux auto brightness for brightness control and photo display settings for correct colour reproduction.

No, I refer to pro photo mode in screen mode. Please note that I have extensively used Andreilux Perseus kernel and I love the color correction as explained in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38497753&postcount=3
What I know from what I read from different posts and my own experience, the natural screen mode in Cyanogen mod and pro photo in new Samsung devices is very close to Perseus kernel improvements for correct color reproduction. I love "washed" colors
One more thing, the "reading mode" is very good too, since when you add up to 20 applications in this mode in the settings, it automatically reduces contrast when you run one of these apps. I use it especially for Dolphin browser to read papers etc. It turns back to normal when you close the app.
Last but not least; general brightness level of Note 3, especially under direct sun light, is much better than Note 2, but especially under low light I have to manually reduce the brightness not to disturb my eyes.
Regards.
I'm using the pro photo setting. For brightness settings I'm using the app Lux to fine tune autobrightness which has separate day and night profiles. The app can darken your screen below the 0% setting by applying a filter on the screen. Very useful for totally dark situations.

thanks! I will give Pro Photo a try and see how my eyes get used to it
shall give Lux a try too... I had it on my MBP but didn't really like it.. :X

I've been trying out Reading Mode... but it is making the screen really dim though.
Do you have power-savings mode ON?
No, I only use the power saving mod when I have around 15% battery left and I do not experience any dimnes in normal use.

been using the Professional Photo mode. I must say I'm liking the colors much better
anyone tried out LUX?
hmm.. seems like Professional Photo mode.. causes a level of yellowing?
Adaptive at 50% Auto Brightness.
Unbelievable colours at an unbelievable power consumption rate, much better than my N2.

Wow, nice. Looks very interesting and therefore will be added to the Nexus 5 index soon. :good:
Amazing app. Exactly what I was looking for and very refined. Seriously this could be a Google app.
Bonus points for the transparent nav bar and not requiring root access. Great job.

nice. I'll definitely be giving this a try just for color picker alone!
I have pushed a new update which fixes the lag when switching between fragments.
Working on adding some animation when switching fragments which will complete that part of app nicely.
S Tools+ now has location and networking tools in pro version

The Blue Light Filter mode can replace 3rd party apps like cf.lumen, Twilight and Lux's night mode. It's a stock method of customizing the display color temperature.
ASUS should copy a leaf from cf.lumen's book and add the capability to automatically calculate sunset by your GPS coordinates and turn BLF mode on at night! Later at night they can add option to automatically change color temperature to more red tones (i.e. setting the BLF mode slider all the way to the right) like cf.lumen's sleep mode!
Thanks to Splendid display tuning, I no longer have cf.lumen installed. But! I do miss the convenience of automating things. Having the display tuner widget in quick settings is nice but no cigar!
Similarly when bright sunlight detected, the Splendid app could have option to turn vivid mode on.
Cyanogenmod12 and by extension CyanogenOS12 already has both these options (night mode and CABC for bright sunlight mode similar to vivid) available in their display options settings.
Perhaps these suggestions should be forwarded to Asus...as they seem to be set on providing timely updates to the phone(awesome), they might listen. I do like the Splendid app.
I agree. And now that we have this option: @Asus_USA
Maybe a rep here would forward the suggestion?

Timed profiles for Splendid would be great. A more effective colour temperature adjustment, coupled with a considerably lower minimum screen brightness on a hardware level would make this phone SO much more usable for late-night reading.
Does anyone know a clever way to detect the active display in tasker? Currently I use luxauto brightness to keep the OLED display dim in the house, but the same filtering it does to get below 0 brightness also grays out the eink side, particularly when I have it face down on a desk. It's easy to detect and act on that state with the proximity sensor, but it would be nice if there were a way to trigger based on active display so that I can disable lux in low brightness situations where it isn't face down and I am using hte eink screen.
I was able to figure things our digging through the source code Jeopardy posted, sorry for not digging around more before posting. If anyone else wants to replicate here are the basics, I can provide more detail or screenshots if needed. I disable lux in tasker with a profile that looks for event intent received "yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_START". I have a task that reenables lux whenever the intent yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_STOP_MANUAL or yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_STOP are received (2 profiles, each trigger the same task).

It's great to see you found use for my findings. Just out of curiosity, is there a specific reason you could not just use android's automatic brightness? I think you could even modify the threshold levels for it with some xposed module.

Lux seems to do things much cleaner, allows sub-zero brightness, and is more customizable as far as number of points and smoothness of transitions. I noticed that gravity box might have had a way to do things like this after I installed lux.
