You have to install a customer kernel with Savoca Color Control support.
The two below have this feature, I'm currently testing the snapkernel and it is working well.

Hi, I just installed krait kernel to get savoca. I configured and so but I've notice that moto display shows one or two (it depends on the time) digits brighter than the other. Are you experiencing this too? thank you

This seems to make the colors pop a little more and give a truer white. Its on the cooler side so might not be to everyone's tastes but looks great on my device

It has been recently looked at and i think it's pretty mature already.
The idea is that most of us have had to rely on third party apps, such as lux auto brightness, to be able to control this feature, because the built in was not properly coded or adjusted.
I want to open this thread to ask for the people's experiences: which configuration are they using and if we can really kiss lux goodbye for once.
Not that I am unhappy with this software, but I don't like using external apps when the functionality is integrated (thus saving resources, etc, etc)
Thanks for your impressions and i hope this thread is helpful.

There's a fair amount of discussion on this in the CM9 thread. Anyway, the HAL now reports lux values from the sensor in values other than powers of 10 so I'm fairly sure it will work. There is still some debate on what the default brightness levels should be in the auto brightness settings but this is all customisable.
Never used lux myself but surely it can't have worked any better than the closed source HAL did because no matter what averaging it does on the data limiting to powers of 10 severely restricts the quality results you can get?
Thanks for the reply.
I know there is some info in the CM9 nightly thread but it kind of gets messed up and buried... That's why I wanted to isolate and study the case here....
Which would be the correct configurations? Or we can just enable it and leave it by default?
Cheers

Well I've seen NOWE has done a lot of testing with the custom levels as only certain intervals actually result in a noticeable brightness change.
You can search for his posts in the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=44763856
I'm using default levels at the minute with averaging and a 400 lux reset threshold and 10 second averaging window. Also, I have "Allow light decrease" on and a 50% decrease hysteresis. These are settings I picked up from another user in the thread.
I'm hoping if the custom levels (NOWE or otherwise) are better than the ones currently in the build then they'll get pushed to source and I'll get them that way..
Glad to see this thread opened up as this issue is honestly the only thing keeping me from using cm9 now. The big issue for me is the 10 second window the lux values are being refreshed at. Compared to the default 5 seconds on a Sammy rom it feels like it takes an eternity to register changes in light conditions.
This honestly doesn't seem like it would be that hard to fix, so why is nobody talking about it? Now that the sensors are functioning properly the only thing that needs changed for perfect auto brightness is for the sensor refresh rate to be changed from 10 seconds to 5.
Test it yourself, open the custom auto brightness levels window and watch the sensor values change. Start in a bright area and put your thumb over the sensor. You can count to 10 before any change occurs.
Light sensor levels
I want as many users as possible to test these settings.
If I get positive feedback, I'll go to the developer thread and ask them to make it the default settings.
These settings are very different from the current default settings and will probably cause higher energy consumption.
But for me they are the best settings I ever tried.
Code:

Some remarks:
The second 15 should be 30, but 30 is mapped to 40 ... Confused?
Look here: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr.../blob/ics/drivers/video/samsung/ld9040.c#L309
The values 15, 55 and 80 are redundant. (1...29=GAMMA_30CD, 30...69=GAMMA_40CD, 70...89=GAMMA_70CD)
Entropy512 said that it is difficult to make more steps, but I sill have the slight hope that some day we will have these steps.
(GAMMA_15CD, GAMMA_55CD and GAMMA_80CD or something like that)
So atm the brightness jumps a little bit in the lower range because the steps are too big.

Ill test. I think having 6000 at 255 is a good idea. Outdoors in the sun you deffo need full brightness, its really horrible to see sometimes!

Change the Sample Interval and Window (not sure how these are called in English, I use Dutch) and you can easily see that the sensor is reacting faster than 10 seconds.
Ok, glad I'm not the only one with this issue running around my mind.
So, let's test that values and see if we can report them as ok
Thank you guys.

This is a solution I've seen people throwing around but in fact it only makes the screen adjust even slower.
By adding a filter you are essentially averaging the lux levels being reported and smoothing the gap between jumps. Adding a filter does not effect how often the sensor is reporting data. But by smoothing over the jumps from say, moving from a dark room to outside, it makes the screen brighten gradually rather than going straight to max brightness in one jarring step.
I may have exaggerated slightly by saying 10 seconds. Its more like 7-8. But no fiddling with filter settings is going to change that the light sensor is not reporting data frequently enough. Or am I the only one who feels it is too slow? It drives me nuts and is the sole reason I'm sticking with Sammy roms atm.

Ok I have to agree with you, I am now beginning to understand how this whole light sensor/filtering works.
For example:
W/out filter 20 ------------ 80
With filter: 20 --35 -- 55 -- 80
It is taking the same amount of time to go from 20 to 80, only filtering will make the transition smoother, not faster.

Nexus 5 Gamma Reverse Engineering App is out!
(This app will work on the common sysfs interface, so any kernel using this interface will be compatible with this app, not just my kernel)
Please download my public betas here:
http://faux.androidro.ms/hammerhead/beta/
Franco Kernel is also compatible here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2508284
ALL Gamma registers are accessible with new APK!
@myfluxi Thank you again!
After hitting apply, it's best to turn screen on/off to see the results updated!
Please help decipher the meaning of these values and write them down in a concise manner so we can all understand what you've done and tried.
My TODO list for this FREE app:
Once things are figured out, I will add:
1: "Set On Boot" options to automatically apply the new values on startup (right now "set on boot" can be dangerous and lead to black screens).
2: Perhaps some basic profiles
3: Maybe other cool stuff if time permits
Min Value is 0 (NO NEGATIVES)
Max Value is 255 (Don't Go over it, it will break stuff!!!)
App Change Log:
1.0.6 - Initial release with RGB register access only
1.0.7 - full access to all registers
1.0.8 - add "set on boot" feature, add webview link to 2nd post below, enabled landscape mode.
1.0.9 - updated to latest kernel driver. add old version warning. add action bar for quicker navigation.
1.0.10 - updated to latest kernel driver. removed unused fragments.
1.0.11 - updated to latest kernel driver with stable sysfs locations!
Progress So Far:
Gamma Tabs:
columns => goes from left to right, so 1st position is most let and right most is 5th position
row => goes from top to bottom.
I got VERY CLOSE to ideal Gamma 2.2
Positive and Negative Polarity tweak added. This allows for greater RGB gamma control and balance!
Overall Color Gamma Curve (row 1 column 1 of RGB Gamma tabs) => 0 is highest, 255 lowest
Red Gamma Positive=> 0
Green Gamma Positive=> 73
Blue Gamma Positive=> 78
Red Gamma Negative => 0
Green Gamma Negative => 73
Blue Gamma Negative => 78
Gamma Color Brightness (row 2 column 5 of RGB Gamma tabs) => 0 is highest, 255 lowest
Red Gamma Positive => 100
Green Gamma Positive => 117
Blue Gamma Positive => 121
Red Gamma Negative => 107
Green Gamma Negative => 117
Blue Gamma Negative => 121
Overall White Point Brightness => 0 darkest, 255 brightest
Gamma white point, Column 1 => 30

I think an explanation that this won't brick your phone but just require a wipe to fix a messed up screen world be useful to allay some fears. A flashable zip to restore to stock would be wonderful too. I'm gonna experiment nonetheless but others might need some reassuring.
