Increase default brightness when set to auto?

Is it possible to increase--across the board--the brightness levels when the phone is set to auto-brightness? For example, if the brightness is at a 3 when in a dark room and a 7 when it is in a bright room, is there some way I can tweak the phone such that in the dark room, it will actually be at 4 and in the bright room, it will be at an 8?
I ask because I've always thought that the default brightness for auto-brightness is too low.
I'm on the latest Gummy 4.0.4.

Not sure if it's me or something. But it seems like when I first turn on the auto brightness it's pretty dark. But if I leave it on a while, it seems to get better. I don't think it's just me getting used to it either. It feels like maybe it has a period of adjustment or something and then seems usable.

IIRC Gummy has customizable auto-backlight settings.
Settings>Display>Autobacklight>
Going by memory here, so bear with me:
-Check Use custom,
-Select Edit Other Levels,
-Adjust the screen value's (not too much, do it incrementally),
-Select Save and Apply,
-If you mess up, there's a reload defaults button.
Don't go too high, you may get burn in.
Ignore my values, I lower them, a lot.

So does Team BAMF...
Pretty granular too if you want to get down and dirty.

Oh, wow. I assumed that all the rom-specific tweaks and settings were contained in the "Gummy Settings" location. Thanks much.

On this topic, is anyone getting light sensor value problems in AOKP B32-34?
It worked fine in Liquidsmooth detecting all the way to the max 160lux (I think that was it) but only on AOKP on mine, and at least one other, does get seem to get stuck to 20lux max (personally I've only seen 16lux)
As you can imagine, this makes auto brightness useless since it doesn't get a value higher than 20lux from the light sensor

Galaxy Pro 8.4 screen dims during usage

Hi, the screen on my Galaxy Pro 8.4 dims intermittently during use. this can be when I am typing or when playing solitaire. All ideas welcome as to whether this is a settings issue or a more troublesome problem. Gary paddles.

Dynamic contrast function.
Turn off auto brightness and it should go away.
No way to have auto backlight without dynamic contrast on this tab sadly

Auto brightness on this tablet is extremely aggresive. And because the screen is bright enough (max brightness stings my eyes even at daytime), I usually turn off Auto and put the brightness at about 15%.

Turn off Auto Brightness, and at Smart Screen, turn on Smart Stay, the front camera will detect your movement to keep the screen ON.

Screen Flicker (induced by certain colors?)

I've just switched on my Nexus 7 2013 and noticed the screen flickering. I'm quite sensitive to flickering screens (my wife can't actually see it) but it's definitely there and it wasn't before. I've read a little about screen flickering (low brightness, possibly wifi related) but I'm not sure my symptoms are the same, which is odd. In fact the main reproduction suggested (< 30% brightness and opening Google Maps) is fine for me.
To reproduce my issue I need to have 2 main things:
1) The brightness needs to be quite high
2) Certain colors need to be present on screen​
I've done the following to try and fix the issue but none of them seemed to make any difference:
1) Disabling WiFi
2) Reboot
3) Plug in the charger (I normally use wireless charging so it hadn't been grounded for a while)
4) Try rebooting with the charger plugged in
5) Factory reset
6) Taking off the Back​
I should add that I'm using stock Android (without root) 6.0.1
So some of the things I've noticed that flicker quite badly:
1) The grey keyboard overlay sitting over a white background (e.g. When chrome's open but you've not yet visited a page).

}
2) Some colours (e.g. in the picture of green images, the top right green flickers quite a bit, regardless of where it is on screen. If I rotate to landscape the flickering moves).
3) Some greys on websites (e.g. in the TestCafe link only the grey bar flickers)

Has anyone else come across this, or know of any other posts addressing this sort of issue?

If You Love Reading, You'll Want to Know About Eye Comfort Mode

Reading lovers stand out wherever they go. Their refined conversation style and graceful presence are a combination of natural simplicity and their subtle nature. They are a wonderful sight that you just can't miss. E-books give reading lovers like you greater choice and let you read wherever you go.
However, I am concerned that even though your Nova has an eye comfort mode, you don't know about it, and harmful blue light radiation has been damaging your precious eyes for a long time.
I'm worried about how you stay pretty while being immersed in books, so I have a suggestion for you today: when you read or browse for a long time you should turn on your phone's eye comfort mode. It not only reduces blue light radiation, but also prevents eye fatigue. Let me teach you how to set it up.
Touch Settings > Display > Eye comfort and turn on Eye comfort.

}
After you turn on eye comfort mode, your phone will adjust the brightness of the backlight and the color temperature automatically and filter the screen's blue light to protect your eyes. It is normal for the display to appear slightly yellow when eye comfort mode is turned on.
Slide the status bar down to open the notification panel, and touch Eye protection to turn eye comfort mode on and off more easily.
Gentle reminder: To improve your visual experience, it is not recommended that you turn on Eye protection when you take photos, watch videos, and browse through pictures.

impossible to disable night shift

Hi,
most of the time a night shift seems to be activated at the end of the day, and disabled at dawn... sometimes it's still activated during the day.
by night shift I mean a blue light scren filter : white color is more yellow than white..
I don't find anything in setup; read mode is disabled, auto contrast is off, I tried all seetings with contrast, colors and others...
does anyone know how to disable this?
many thanks

I had the same issue.
This happens because your previous device had night light activated. When you added and sync your device all the device setting got transferred.
Miui doesn't allow us to use the native Night light setting even though it's already present because of Android.
You have to factory reset and add account back without importing your device setting from previous phone.
Just unselect the part when restoring apps.

Hey,
I had the same issue https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jami.tool.hiddensetting install this app search nightdisplaysuggestion and turn off - Now you're ready to rock
