I think one of the issues here is that we can adjust the color, but it isn't universal to all brightness levels. My proposition is to design an application that can dynamically adjust the color based on brightness levels. We could probably set up a base level at 10% brightness and then set up another level at 50% brightness, and finally at 100% brightness - the application would then auto adjust the color for brightness levels in between dynamically.
Would anyone want to start the development of this application with me?

if u ask me this application that ur planning to do will cause some serious problems !! it'd have to check for % of brightness of the screen every few seconds when its awake causing battery drain ..and u should hav posted in q & a section since u havent really started the development all the best with it though nothings impossible
No, it must be connected with the brightness. Only every time the auto-brightness sensor (or the user) changes the brightness the new calibration should be applied.

Correct. It would be tied with the brightness control. I'm thinking it should be tied to CMs own existing automatic brightness settings but allow an extension for color control.
And no this is the right section. since when do I have to physically build something before I'm allowed to post in here? Applications are developed from discussion to final product...

I think the OP wants something similar to what's in Cyanogen roms. I think he wants to adjust how bright or dim it gets on certain light conditions. I think I saw an app called Luminous or something. Now I'm drawing a blank.

I think I might give it a try later on.
Juice defender has an option to set the brightness all the way from -80% to +150%. So autobrightness would have a larger (or smaller, if you prefer) range.

Have it. Recommend it. Slick app from a great responsive developer.
just use the notification bar
Hey guys
I found out that if you tap the notification bar on the top and slide your finger left or right, you can adjust brightness as you like. I think that is the easiest and quickest tip I found on this forum. not sure where I found it.. hope that helps..

There is an app i am using that allows you to adjust the levels that the auto brightness use.
Called: LogGraph
it gives you a graph divided by roughly 12 steps of the brightness sensor so 0-12.
you can set the brightness level at each step the default (which i am using) is roughly:
Sensor% - Brightness level%
0-0
10-5
20-10
30-15
40-20
50-25
60-30
70-40
80-60
90-80
100-100

Thanks I was wondering why it didn't work.
Sent from my Hercules using XDA App
Reviving a slightly older thread here for some feedback.
Lux is a great and well designed app; I've been having issues with it - it doesn't seem to sample from the sensor (light or camera) when it wakes up, even though that is how I set it. I sent an e-mail to the developer, so hoping he can help me out. I also found it hard to understand the "levels" both in basic mode, and the lux/luma in advanced mode. I came from Cyanogenmod (on an Evo 4g) so I understand how the sensor works, but for some reason, whether it be the GS2 or Lux, the sensor does not seem to pick up a lot of variation in ambient light. I can cover up the sensor with my finger and the value that is getting doesn't seem to go below 2.
So I'm still struggling to get the auto-brightness (with an app or with the factory algorithm) to work properly compared to what I was able to get on my Evo 4g w/ Cyanogenmod (which was perfect by the way - once I have it all set up, absolutely perfect auto-brightness).
Actually I edited the framework-res.apk file and that did the trick. I tried lux before but it still didn't work like the default auto brightness.
I'm just sayin!

I believe you that Lux doesn't work like the factory auto-adjust...no matter what an app. developer does, you can't replicate the responsiveness of what would be in the framework.
Could you explain further the edits you did and what it corrected? I am a software developer and I can figure out the basics, just was looking for an idea of what you edited in there and the specifics to get me going.
Thanks in advance!

I basically followed what they did here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235212 to decompile the apk. I made adjustments to the value that represents the brightness under the lowest lighting conditions. I slightly increased the brightness under that value to help mask the blobs under low lit conditions. Hope this helps.

Yeah, saw that last night and just finished. Will probably need to dial in the values a bit to find what is optimal for me.
I'll post a Framework for others to use once I get mine all set. This is definitely the way to go for adjusting autobrightness.
Hi!,
Since I buy the Yphone I've always wondered, The automatic brightness works?, cuz in the stock rom the energy control widget don't give the automatic brightness option, and if I install a custom rom and use the AB Option I don't see the difference about the most brightest option.
So I have two questions:
1) The automatic brightness option works?
2) If not : It's possible to make it work?
Thanks for all.
Charlie

i thought they have already have one. with high brightness setting, our screen's brightness will decreased if we set our screen timeout long.
Galaxy Y does have an ambient light sensor. So it DOES adjust the brightness. But you probably wont notice it because the brightness is set even if the screen is turned off. It will be brightest when you are in the sun. So its difficult to notice the change.
Really? Mine has never adjusted or anything. I have to adjust it myself.

Oh!, so the 2 little sensors in the front are just one aproximity sensor? So bad...
I know this is possible in CM9's display settings, but I'm currently running AOKP. Is there any other way to lower the minimum screen brightness?
I've given Tasker root permissions, approved it as a device administrator, and approved it as an accessibility service. Still, when I use a task to lower the brightness to very low levels, the brightness will only hold for a fraction of a second before it ramps up to the factory minimum.
So is there some system component I can modify to allow lower brightness, or is this only available as a ROM control like in CM9?

FWIW the lowest possible brightness setting can't be altered via the CM9 settings, only the auto brightness levels, both sensor input levels ("bins") and the brightness level associated with that input/bin. The minimum value of 19 for the lowest slot can't be lowered further. There are other display parameters (related to brightness) that can also be altered in the CM9 settings, but it won't accept a value less than 19.
Edit: I see from a link in your sig that you're familiar with the custom levels
Yes we can do it in the frameworks to go lower than 19. I did it on other phones. I'm not sure why it hasnt been done yet for nexus, and ive been too lazy myself.
But we can even take it down to zero or 4-5 etc so its much dimmer at night. Its on my to do list.
Also i posted some kernel code in a similar thread where this question was already asked. But mod the framework is much quicker.

I'm an idiot; I just found it in AOKP. It's in the custom backlight settings.
My experience does not mirror you guys. When I decrease the "screen dim level" in the custom brightness settings, it applies globally. I just did it in AOKP the same way I used to in CM9 and now with Tasker I've taken the screen all the way down to 1
Is there any way to decrease the minimum brightness on stock?

Yes with above linked app. I confirm it works on stock
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
I've used a similar app called Screen Filter. My only problem with these types of apps is that I find the black/gray filter they use greatly decreases contrast at low brightness levels (more so than a "true" brightness level at an equivalent setting). Still, if you are running a setup in which they are your only option, they certainly beat having nothing.
The problem with using a screen filter is that it limits the maximum brightness when in sunlight.
I only want to affect the minimum as it is too bright.
Has anyone been able to do this on a stock rom? I too think that the minimum brightness is too high, but I don't want to use the above linked program because it also affects the maximum brightness too. I would like to be able to set custom light levels as per cm9/cm10 and pretty much any custom ROM right now, albeit with my stock ROM. Any flashable zips out there?
Cheers,
Dan
The lowest brightness setting is not dim enough for me in low light conditions so I've been looking to alter it.
After reading around the capabilities of some apps it seems that they only add an overlay which reduces contrast. I would much prefer to do it natively.
I then realised that the AOKP ROM has this functionality!
However, I can't seem to get it to work.

Changing the screen dim level doesn't seem to change anything for me.
Can anyone offer some tips or advice?
Thanks

Does your display dim more when you select a lower than default value or did you have to change something else?
Did you change the corresponding value in "Edit Other Levels" as well (if you're on auto brightness)? Not on AOKP, but mine is fully functional both on manual, and auto.
Their implementation is the same as CM9 (which is nearly identical, if not the same as the CM7 implementation).
Edit: just a thought, not sure if the AOKP status bar brightness slider is hardcoded to a certain minimum level? Are the results the same if you adjust your brightness via the Settings>Display>Brightness slider?
Settings>Rom Control>Performance>color multipliers.
Drag the three bars all the way down.
As far as your problem...
Are you on auto brightness?
And have you adjusted the "Dim Level" prior to adjusting the screen levels?
(Dim Level is the level your screen dims to after not touching it for 15 seconds or whatever).

Screen dim level is the minimum brightness value attainable (I lower mine to 12 so I can enter a screen value of 12 in my custom levels), but also does correspond to what you mentioned.

The implementation must be still broken then; haven't tested the latest AOKP releases. Root dim apps tend to create lag.

Could you send me a screenshot of your custom levels, that sounds like the exact thing I'm after - a dimmer screen in general, and having a lower min brightness.
So am I correct in thinking that you need to lower the dim value in order to set lower values in the custom levels?
