Issue with status bar double-tap and brightness - Omni Q&A

I have double-tap status bar to turn off display as well as drag status bar to set brightness enabled. If I double-tap to turn off the display, the brightness level gets set to wherever I did the double-tap. Can this behavior be fixed?

This issue was fixed in last night's release, thanks devs!

Change brightness from ANYWHERE instantly...

Saw a video on droiddog showing some of the apps the vibrant came with and he showed how you can change the brightness to any level without using settings, an app or a widget.
Anywhere in your phone (Assuming you can see the notification bar and the screen isnt locked, simply drag your finger side to side along the top notification bar (Don't pull it down, just slide across the top). It's just like using the brightness slider in settings! This might not work if you have auto brightness enabled.

Quik question (or two) for any MIUI users

Hi all,
Just switched from CM to MIUI and so far quite liking the change. There are a couple of features from CM which I am missing a little and wondered whether there were any mods for them:
Ability to change brightness quickly by pulling top bar down slightly and adjusting left and right. Is there a patch around for this?
Abilitiy to tweak auto-brightness levels
Any other tips about MIUI worth knowing?
Cheers,
MIchael
try changing your toggle settings to page instead of compact. As for tweaking the auto settings..not sure about that

cheers for the reply... should have been more specific. On CM (and my last phone - Galaxy S) it was possible to pull the notification bar down slightly and then drag left to right to adjust. Was always nice an easy to do when out and about in bright sunlight when you cant see anything on the screen.
a brightness slider in the notification bar? ive never seen this but im interested
i thought the button in the notification bar was the only option

what I am talking about isnt a visible slider... its quite hard to explain but is demonstrated in this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgIaVNzwhjk . Its an option you can turn on somewhere in the CM settings
also, have found how to adjust auto-brightness levels in MIUI so ignore that request, just need to see if this brightness slider is possible.
Pull down the notification shade. If it is in page view, hit the backlight button. Once you hit the backlight button, a slider will appear on the bottom of the shade and you can adjust the brightness. It will be there any time you adjust the shade.
If your shade is in toggle view, put it in page view by hitting Settings>personal>toggle>page
Hope that helps
U can set max brightness by pressing together menu button and volume up
understand what you are asking for since I use CM a lot
but not available that way in MIUI yet
Actually, cyber, my slider don't even work

Disable status bar brightness changes

Tried looking in this forum but nothing to disable this swipe brightness changer on the notification bar.
I really hope someone can help me with this , my biggest problem is that whenever i put my phone to my ear during a call it triggers this stupid shortcut and keeps increasing my brightness.
Is there anyway I can disable this shortcut or a status bar replacement that might not involve this setting ?
Thanks

This was commonly a good thing for most users, you can set your brigthness settings to auto adjust and you will no longer have this issue.
This way you screen adjusts automatically the brightness level and blocks the "manual brigthness" setting from the notification bar.
Hope it helps, this is the only method I know to change this.
Thanks but I am trying to keep it to minimum brightness all the time to save as much battery as possible. I have an app that changes between 0 and 50% if i need a brightness increase.
So if i use auto brightness is there a way i can set the sensor / auto brightness levels to only be 0 ?
Thanks

Nav bar brightness

I use Lux to control brightness but apparently kitkat has made changes to how brightness works and it therefore does not affect the nav bar which means while most of the screen is dim, the nav bar remains bright.
Does anyone know of a working fix or an alternative app that works on nav bar? I tried an app that claimed to work on nav bar (particularly on Nexus devices) but it did not work.

Mate 8 Ambient display

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.
