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.

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

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

Arc Lighting adds a highly customizable ring of light around the camera cutout of your phone. You can use this light with various indicators such as audio visualization, notification lighting, critical or low battery warnings, as well as a charge indicator. The ring can also appear on your Always-On display. (to make aod work you need to make sure you have downloaded always on amoled and activated it, you also need to make sure samsung stock aod and samsung edge lighting is disabled under samsung display settings you also need to make sure that aod is enabled under arclighting with override set to off)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FibMTD5Mdx8
Features:
- Highly customizable lighting for the Galaxy S10, S10+, S10e, and Note 10. Select a variety of colors, animations, and styles.
- Always show ring with various gradient effects (add multiple colors and make them spin for a visual experience)
- An adjustable glow effect that can be turned on or off (sometimes this can cause the light to freeze to a white glow this will be fixed)
- Notification lighting both when the display is on or off (update planned for only the lockscreen or only inapp)
- Music lighting that syncs the light to your music (does not work together with other indicators so other indicators will stop working if you enable music lighting this will be fixed)
- Battery indicator lighting for charging, low and critical battery states. (note it will not work until you configure the zones you want the colors to appearm, not configuring zones can freeze the light entirely this will be fixed)
- Device overheating indicator for gamers and power users (note it will not work until you configure the zones you want the colors to appear, not configuring zones can freeze the light entirely this will be fixed)
- Arc Lighting can be configured to match the color of your wallpaper, the app you're currently in, or both! (this only works for the only show ring and only when you set it to a solid color the option is not available for gradient colors which will be added later)
This app requires certain permissions to function correctly.
Accessibility: This permission is used for the ring to appear over your lock screen, always-on display, and for accessing the color of the current app you're in. This permission is required for the app to function properly.
Draw Over Other Apps: This permission allows the ring to show on top of other apps. This permission is required for the app to function properly.
Microphone Access: This permission is used to analyze the internal device audio for the music lighting. You will not be asked for this permission unless you choose to enable the Audio Visualizer indicator for the ring.
Storage Access: This permission is used to get the color of your wallpaper. You will not be asked for this permission unless you choose to use the color of your wallpaper for the ring.
Notification access: This permission is used to change the color of the ring after notifications
Burn-in concerns: Some Android displays may suffer from mild burn-in if a single item is displayed on the screen for an extremely significant amount of time. If you are concerned about this, feel free to enable the rotation animation in ring settings. That will ensure the display is constantly changing. Alternately, you can disable the default effect to only show the ring while an indicator is being triggered. Note: Samsung Galaxy devices come with burn-in protection that moves the pixels a little each time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
how do i disable individual notifications: currently this is a planned update, you can go into custom colors and set each app you don't want notifying to 100% transparent
light is constantly flashing even if i cleared all notifications: sometimes theres forced notifications such as when you're charging it will force a notification that says you're fast charging, the light will pick up on these you need to hold on these notifications and turn them off to stop the light there should be nothing at all in the notificationpanel, if you still have a flashing light with nothing in the panel contact me.
frozen light: music lighting will disable all other indicators same with battery indicator or battery temp indicator, you need to set custom zones otherwise the light will be frozen, glow also tends to freeze the light so turn that off if it's frozen (this will be fixed in a coming update)

the note 20 ultra is not officially supported yet but the app comes with a custom alignment adjuster under cutout settings so you can align the ring yourself, if you enjoy the app please do rate it i have received a lot of bad ratings lately which has pushed it down to nearly 2 stars so rating it would be very appreciated.
Hi! This looks awesome! Is there a 'Halo' option or a slow beating effect? Could the color be changed? I really want to try this notification light. How can I get a code, please? Thank you!

Just a suggestion, but it would be nice to be able to manually enter the offset number rather than solely relying on a slider.
Fine-tuning the adjustments would be MUCH easier by being able to input a number.

After watching a lot of videos I had some questions for which I have not found answer anywhere, Please try to check these and respond if possible.
1. Open any browser or any app settings which has dark theme then click on any option and notice there will be a color change issue (from black to greyish) - I have checked this in iQOO 7 too and this is same with iQOO 9 SE
2. Is there any option to change accent color in iQOO 9 SE?
3. Can we change Notification panel (design) or shape and size of icons?
4. How to hide system apps as in privacy there's no system app shown
5. How to disable virus scan screen after install an app from play store (this has been disabled in iQoo by v-app store but this app is not present in iQOO 9 SE
6. Have you faced any issue with notification while gaming with dark mode specially (it turned like there's 2 screen is running in background one is black-drawer and one is in greynotification panel
7. Does iQOO has a community like OnePlus (app)?
8. How to disable Google feeds/classified from home screen?
9. Accessibility settings for an app auto revoked after no usage of device of 1-2 hr even after turning off battery optimization.
Also realized that some basic settings change after sometime automatically in this phone.
any fix for this?
I was shifted from OnePlus so facing some issue with Funtouch os, I admit that this has some extra feature then oxygen os but has missing some features. please try to provide answer of above questions if anyone can.
even I've been searching for the same and wanted to root my device as well and switch to miui
Can someone please share the Weather apk file from IQOO 9 SE or IQOO 9 or IQOO 9 Pro (Indian variant)?

Hey!
I'm in love with my Google Pixel 6 Pro, however, I don't like the screen at all, I wanted to be able to customize how it looks.
Been looking for a way to modify how it looks, CF.lumen fixed the white balance, Sa2ration changes the saturation of your display, you can decrease it all you want, or make it as saturated as you want.
All this apps should/may work on other devices too.
CF.lumen - Apps on Google Play
Adapts your screen's colors based on sun's position, sleep pattern, and sensors
play.google.com
[ROOT] Sa2ration - Apps en Google Play
Alterar su saturación en Android Oreo (descripción leída!)
play.google.com
[Paid app, HBM to use the max brightness of the device without auto brightness]
Enable HBM in app and then enable and disable auto brightness in phone settings, not app settings, that way you will have the absolute maximum brightness of the display, you can enable on the app settings restore hbm after screen off to have it at max brightness always. *There is a QS hbm toggle too*
High Brightness Mode - Apps on Google Play
See your screen in bright sunshine. High brightness mode for your phone
play.google.com
For CF.lumen, enable location, set permissions for the app and do the following:
1 - Location, tap to update or input manually any location, that's only to avoid crashes when manually changing white balance, disable location after that if you don't need it.
2 - Master filter mode, custom, there you can modify RGB values to your taste, I use 0.955 on Red, 0.975 on Green, 1.000 on Blue, but feel free to try until you enjoy how it looks.
Now, for Sa2ration, after installing, simply move the slider until you like that you have, if it does not change, use the setting "enable color management" it's kinda glitchy and may requiere it or not on your device, I use 1.10, really like how it looks!
[Bonus, under developer settings, you can fully hide the display cutout, I also recommend to set the dpi to 410-430 with or without cutout as it will make some landscape animations a single slide instead of two, try pulling down notification panel when landscape mode, try all animations 0.5x too, you may like how it looks, if you see an app crashing disable developer settings as it may create issues like that sometimes]
[Bonus 2, try Iconify magisk module, you can customize your Pixel with that, even enable pure dark oled theme, thanks to Facundo Holzmeister from @howtomen on tiktok!]

Hey, the only way to customize it is to use the service.sh file and modify it before flashing. That's all I know so far.
