hi, i'm using HTC Desire HD with leedroid rom and kernel.
i read that to save more battery, i must turn down the screen brightness to a low level. but i want to use the auto brightness function but sometimes it isnt accurate to the environment(sorry for bad english). uhm any tweaks or mods that has customized auto brightness? thanks in advance guys
I found that the best thing to do is to do it manualy by using the brightness level app on the market which has a slider on it.
I use Tasker to set the screen brightness to levels defined by me in response to ambient light levels. Takes some experimentation to get it working right, but it's worth it.
Or then you can switch to CM7 as it has all screen adjustments built in the settings i.e automatic screen dimming level adjustments, different levels etc etc.
Hello, I'm using a "stock" bassed ROM and DoomKernel 13, and I want to know if there is any method to reduce the minimum brightness level, because that minimum is too bright yet for me and my battery
In MIUI I remember I can decrease brightness untill screen backlight turns almost off.
Thanks

just download dim app lol in store :O
First of all, yes i turned autobrightness off and turned it manually up to the max, but i think that the brightnes goes down in some apps or the brightnes is just kinda low on the note 2? i am on this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2259479
Brightness level on all Samsung phones is good... that ROM uses a lot of dark/black themes... so my guess is just the apps that are dark themed will appear lower in brightness.
However do check (in settings) your Screen mode.. if it is set to standard or Dynamic...check Brightness settings (in settings again, not toggles) to see if Auto is set and where the "line dot" is set... and further down check if you have "Auto adjust screen tone" checked.
But you have enough post counts to ask in that ROM thread for better answers. Good luck!
Yeah, I've also noticed low brightness on stock based 4.3 ROM.You may use some other apps to control it (never tried them).
However now I'm on miui and the brightness adapt seems much better.

Note 8.0 N5110 (WiFi), CyanogenMod 13. I've never used the stock firmware.
There is no gradual change of the screen brightnees on my device from 0 - 12%, the brightness remains the same when i move the slider until 12%.
Then after moving the slider to about 13% the brightness "jumps" to that value at once.
This is the same when using the system brightness slider (that does not show the percentage) and the apps: Display Brightness & ScreenDim (both with a percentage slider).
Does anybody else have a similar issue under CM13 (or CM12/11, or the stock firmware)?
How could i solve this?

when you say "note 8.0 wifi" do you mean n5110? It's probably not something that can be fixed by a user.
Yes, N5110.
Sure, i can imagine that it'd be not easy to fix by a user. But i'm still very much interested to at least know...
- if it's a hardware "feature" of my device/display only, independant of the installed ROM or
- a generall bug of CM13 on the note 8 or a bug of CM13 on my device only or
- a quite different thing that could cause that?
That's why my question again: does anybody of you guys here experience a similar issue under any ROM having no change of the display brightness when moving the slider between 0 - 12%?

Using latest RR 5.7.4 my n5110 acts as yours, nothing happens until around 12%. I don't really think it's a problem, just the zero value on the slider is incorrectly set.
I made a build of RR tonight with a tentative change to hopefully fix this, but it made no change.
This change from S4 gives a clue that it's panel doesn't go below a certain value http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/158859/ so I tried adding this.
I've always found the brightness slider to be weird on note 8 (compared to my S4)., but my problem was more the non-linearity of the slider. I only have experience of stock (4.2/4.4) and CM13 myself, so would be interested in how LL based roms sliders function.
Thanks a lot, i'm "glad" to know this is not only my device with this weird acting

Sure, probably something of that kind.
But what's strange is the following: the above mentioned (btw: excellent) App "Display Brightness 5.1" is able to "dim" the brightness below the value of "0" setting a color layer over the screen.
This app begins to put its "below-0-layer" exactly at the value of 0 on its percentage slider and not at 12%. So it seems that this app actually takes the system-brightness of 0% as the "real" 0 and not the value of 12%. And the app is not able to change the brightness between 0 - 12% either.
Do you have problems with auto brightness in MIUI roms? Your screen brightness gets extremely dark in low light conditions, or the brightness spikes just with a few increase of light?
For low brightness problem, actually you can adjust the minimum autobrightness in slider bar, but sometimes it will reset back to default minimum brightness. For example if you turn off auto brightness in game, when you turn it on again, it won't resume your settings. As a result the screen will get darker than your adjustment.
I created magisk module to fix that. This will increase the minimum brightness in low light, and also reduce the over brightness in medium and high ambient light. The result will be smoother auto brightness step, and be more convenient for your eyes!
There are two modules, one for Miui 10 running Android Pie, and the other ones for Miui 10 running Android Oreo. Dont install wrong module, because there are much more brightness values in Android P than O.
The Oreo version may be not as good as Pie version, because i tested it in Redmi Note 5. My Mi Mix 2s currently running Miui 10 P beta 8.8.16 for Pie version testing. But it should give the same result. Oreo version works in Miui 9 too, but may results different.
So what this module do? It adds framework-res to the /system/media/theme/default. With a magisk module you can do it systemlessly! To install it, just download the module then browse it in Magisk Manager.
If you dont like my setting values, just unzip my module, find framework-res file, unzip it, then edit the theme_values.xml to any values you want under "config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues", then zip all back.
Download links in attachment.
Guide:
V1 for lowest brightness (best battery)
V2 for a bit brighter in low light
V3 for brighter brightness (best for full edge cover tempered glass user)
V4 for more responsive and smoother auto brightness. Values are about similar to v3.
To check if this module works;
Tap the Kernel Version in About Phone 5 times, then you will enter CIT. Go to Light Sensor. Cover your phone light sensor on upper bezel (lower for Mi Mix 2s) with your palm till the light sensor value reach 0. If the backlight is not going under 100/130 (pie) or 7 (oreo), then this module works! My module limits the minimal auto brightness, which the original can reach to 20 which is ridiculously very dark.
This module may work on any MIUI-based rom phones with IPS display, not just Mi Mix 2s.
I also created this module for Mi 9 (amoled display). Visit my thread HERE
Notes:
- Only V4 has responsitivity adjustment. More responsive means it needs less light increments to trigger auto brightness adjustment.
- Editing the values can cause a mess. Add .disable_magisk file in cache partition if your phone cant boot then uninstall the module in manager.
Thanks have flashed this and will see how it goes over a day/night. Initially it's good though.
I find the auto bright annoying sometimes especially given how easy it is to cover the bottom chin sensors on this phone.

Thanks for trying. I hope you get better auto brightness experience after a day..
Yeah the worst part is the light sensor in mix 2s located in bottom left where you could get the screen unseenable while using two/left hands. If its in center, it would be better.
My other mi phone with forehead light sensor often gets annoyingly too dark. I never satisfied with miui default auto brightness and always use this mod since miui 7. Fortunately, this method still works with some adjustment in value.
Ok so it's been a couple of days and this has helped a lot imo at least for indoors (haven't really had any major outdoors time...).
Still gets dark enough when it's really dark, but certainly for normal indoor conditions the default settings you have are much better. Xiaomi settings often got too dark, and you can adjust the slider, but then the slider goes back after while anyway :-\

Just reporting back after a while with this and more miui updates, seems the later beta builds have changed something in the brightness in that I don't know if this mod works any more, or if it needs tweaking to provide the same brightness levels it used to.
I had a really quick play with values as suggested in the op but it's well outside my field of expertise and couldnt get it to do much different

@arddy1
... where to find the default values ?
I'm on Poco F1 and want to compare to the default values and adjust theme_values.xml

Sorry for late reply. This mod still works in miui 8.10.11 global. Here are the screenshots of screen light value in lowest brightness. The lower one is the original. Mine still brighter in lowest light.

Here's the screenshot from framework_res in rom 8.10.11 global
So it only works on miui
Yes since it's a miui issue. Stock android roms don't reset brightness like miui.
Stock roms just set the brightness bar where you want, some will have the ability adjust the total curve even. Miui if you raise brightness it will change itself back after 5 mins or so, so it's needed to change the system default values

To me it happens on the treble roms. Exactly as in miui.. might be a vendor thing idk
Can I use this on Vince running Resurrection Remix 6.2.1 Android Oreo? I am having auto brightness issue in custom ROMs too.

No, its for miui only. Even using it on miui other than i specified in first post may not work
Can you check with the latest miui 8.11.15?
I'm currently using this but sometimes the brightness still jumps from dim to bright
Thanks for this fix!
Can you make flashable zip version via TWRP recovery? I don't use Magisk and I don't want to be rooted

Max auto brightness level can be increased from current value?
From 4095 to 4500
It would better in sunlight

hi any chance to have it without root?

Yes you can. As long as you unlock bootloader and place the framework-res file in system path i mentioned in first post with twrp
I tried your auto brightness fix. And surprisingly it seems to work on the Mi Max 3 with xiaomi.eu 8.12.6v2 as well.

Agreed, on 8.12.13 xiaomi.eu (pie) Mi Max 3 it works very well. Thank you for your efforts OP.
