Is there any way to decrease the brightness level without root? I have been using apps but they don't dim the notification bar and volume controls.
Try YAAB aka Yet Another Auto Brightness from play store, you can set minimum or maximum brightness manually.

Tried it still no use the brightness level is not affecting the notification/pull down area and volume also.
It a limitation with latest android versions... I am afraid there is no fix to it... All screen dimming and filter apps seem to have the same problem..

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.
Anybody using Lux to control screen brightness? I mainly got it so I can get a dimmer screen setting for reading at night. I found that the default lux setting is too bright by default, typically being around 60% screen brightness during the day. So I'm curious what other people are setting the custom settings to.
Lux is cool because even though its auto adjust, if you find it to bright you can pull up the dashboard from the notifications drawer or the widget. Then slide the slider to where you think it should be according to the light level you are at. Then hold down the little icon that looks like a chain. This will "link" the brightness level with the current lighting level. You actually make lux better for you by personalizing it. Link as many settings as you want to various lighting levels.

Yeah. So far I like it. Just curious what % people are using for normal use. It also looks like stock min brightness on android is 15%. The low settings on lux go from 15% to 0% with nothing in between.

You guys should try screendim if you have root. You can adjust any brightness levels, it even has a second adjustment for contrast so you have a lot more control. Its not free but well worth the few dollars imo.

I just installed a custom kernel and it looks like it includes a 5% brightness setting. Should be good.
I've been checking around for a way to add/remove automatic brightness levels in the level settings under display>automatic brightness but I haven't found any (both online and on my Nexus 5). I remember the CM settings looking similar to this but with the ability to change how many levels it uses. Holding just allows one to change the lux and the slider is the brightness.

We had this in 4.3 but I don't know if it's been reimplemented on 4.4 yet.
Is there a hack or a utility that allows the user to set the maxiumum brightness of the AOD? I realise that it dims when the ambient lighting is dim but I find it too bright at other times.
AOD seems to have only 2 brightness levels, dim and bright. I'd like to be able to turn down the brightness.
Maybe you can find a custom rom with and brightness control ability?
Twiztd rom comea with such control ability(Twiztd controls) . I just found your thread. Hope that helps.

exactly I have the same problem with AOD and I hope Samsung add a feature to control it.
The ambient brightness on auto works in most case okey, but espcially in very dark environments I mean the brightness is too low.
Is there a way to force the ambient light sensor that brightness should never go under a specific level, e.g minium 55%?
Have tried some apps, but they can't fix it.
