Is there a way to turn off sensors? I noticed in logcat that even though I have brightness set to stay at one level the sensor still acts like it is on. Also the accelorometer starts and stops at will.
If you goto menu->settings->display->brightness you can choose to turn off auto-brightness. I don't know if you've done this already or not. Can't help with the accelerometer.
Yes that's how I have it set. It still shows on logcat that it's reading the light and adjusting the brightness or so it thinks it is but my setting overide it.
When using the power widget and setting the display to "Auto Brightness" it seems that the lowest it will set to in the dark is 30-50% of the dimmest setting. Does anyone know how i can make it use the entire range for auto brightness?
For example, if im out at night or in a dark place, it should use the lowest possible setting available.
I assume it would need to be a custom rom for this?
you can use switchpro widget from the market to set these variables.
and it can detect ANY NFC tags as functional cards.
when it's detected a certain card. it will change the settings programmed.
i solved the codes of
wifi switch on/off
auto brightness on/off
auto sync on/off
set brightness
launch vpn settings
connect to a certain wifi hotspot
here is the examples.
with Card A - Company Card (used my canteen card)
wifi on, auto sync on, dim brightness, and launch the vpn,
try to connect to my personal wifi hotspot.
with Card B - Outdoor Card (used my traffic card)
wifi off, auto sync off, auto brightness on,
with Card C - Home Card
wifi on, sync on, dim brightness.
so when i go outdoor and don't need to find the widget to turn on auto brightness, just tap the traffic card. done!
but this app is too personalized, not suitable for everyone. all the tags used now is static data in the codes.
anyone wants to expand the app to have settings, menus, and nice UIs?

hi the app's it's working yet ??
we have design an UI for a NFC app's let me see how your app's work maybe we can cooperate in some way
Does anybody know if it is possible to have ambient mode come on and go off at specified times. I would like ambient on through the day and to go off automatically at say 9PM.
Tasker with autowear could certainly be used to toggle on schedule what auto wear calls "keep screen on" mode. But it's actually more aggressive at keeping the screen on than the normal ambient mode in watch settings.
I tried lux but even though it mentions it can dim based on gps sunset/sunrise it needs a light sensor still. I also tried XPosedMTC but was told that with newer Malaysk ROMs it just doesn't work. Anyone have anything that actually does do this fairly easy task?
Thanks
Dave

I use Tasker for that.
Just create a scene with a dark transparent background and let tasker show this scene between some hours
Thanks I'm looking for an easier, more automatic application. They have some that use GPS, there has to be one that works.
Dave
Tasker is the most automatacly APP i know
You can make everything possible with that APP Also the position and time aumatic you want.
The thing is it gets dark at different times at different times of the year. Its 5pm in winter and 9pm in summer so this would be problematic w/ a hard and fasat time.
Dave
look at the tasker plugin Locale/Tasker Twilight Plug-in
Here is the description. should do exactly what your looking to do
Have different day and night situations or have a situation for morning twilight. Or have a situation start 10 minutes before sunrise and end 20 minutest after sunrise.
This app knows when the sun rises and sets.
With Twilight situations can start and end at the following times:
- Astronomical dawn
- Nautical dawn
- Civil dawn
- Sunrise
- Sunset
- Civil dusk
- Nautical dusk
- Astronomical dusk
Or a number of minutes before or after them.
The place for where the times are calculated can either be a fixed, by the user chosen location, or the current location of the device.
Thanks much, I'm going to have to research what commands actually initiate the screen dimming/brightness level.

Blankstar, could you help me out a bit. I have the plugin installed but i'm a bit confused on the task. I selected action display | display | brightness but this is where I get lost. I did set an action to disable auto brightness as the app suggests then created another action to set brightness to 0 for sunset to sunrise (Actually not that dim). I then thiink I set another task from sunrise to sunset w/ 255 screen brightness correct? Do I need to turn auto brightness back on? The help files don't help me much here. Is there a way to gradually taper down the screen brightness over the last hour of light so the screen just doesn't go from full bright to full dark or is there no linear setting w/o setting up 20 or 30 tasks to adjust brightness over that last hour?
**Update**
I did get it working but oddly the time before/after sunset/sunrise appears to be ignored. It just runs at the time displayed for sunset/dusk/etc. Not sure why. I would set the time before a minute before the current time and wait and it just wouldn't do anything. Then sure enough at the sunset display time it worked. Anyone ever experience this? Maybe it doesn't use the same clock as the phones displayed time?
Dave
You can use Tasker (State Plugin) with the Twilight Plugin & Screen Filter (Action Plugin).
if you want to use Lux, you can define it as the following settings:

Thanks I'll try your lux settings. my lux settings never worked. You have confirmed it does auto dim? Is it gradual or does it just go to a predefined dimness at a certain point in time relative to sunrise/sunset?
Thanks
Dave
Tried your settings w/o luck. I can manually enable the night setting but it won't auto set it. It is daylight here now so as a test If i set the sunset to 2pm (It is 3:19PM here) and it will not activate the night setting. If I manually enable night mode and then switch the location from my sunset time of 2pm back to GPS it then puts the bightness to full light (100%) it should but it does not enable night mode or dim the screen.
**UPDATE**
Well I guess I stand corrected. While I could not set a sunset/sunrise time manually to get it to do its thing If i set GPS sunrise/sunset it did in fact dim so who knows? It is working so I'll take it.

Same for me.... Changing time has no effect... What is KCAL or CF Lumen support?
Whats the setting for the profile? Day? Night? Auto? Intelligent?
