You don't want to give your significant other yet another reason to yell at you while you're reading XDA in bed. Rate this thread to express what you think of the OnePlus 8's display minimum dimness. A higher rating indicates that the display can get extremely dim, ideal for reading in very dark environments.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
With DC Dimming option Enabled, the Minimum Brightness is much lower and useful at night. Do try enabling this option.
What is DC Dimming? Where do I find it?

Thanks - not noticed that before
Alan
With DC dimming, blacks are way to sharper that sometimes it gets hard to differentiate between a object especially if you're watching a movie/series.
Tried Lux lite...works best!
Any other out of the box suggestions?
I tried DC Dimming and found it was still too bright.
I've been using an app Twilight that's similar to flux; had to provide accessibility permission but works
Have you tried adjusting the 'Vision Comfort' settings and using that mode?

Issue: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2298
After toying around with the automatic brightness I'm now here to share my settings ...
I use the following settings:
Light sensor filter enabled.
Window length 10 seconds.
Reset threshold 400 lux.
Sample interval to 0.5s.
Light levels use custom checked.
Screen dim level, not sure what it is for but I have it on 1 instead of 20. ((edit: I found what it is for, it's the step size the filter takes? Or not? :s))
Edit other levels...
Number of levels: 18
0 1
10 1
117 17
225 33
272 49
320 65
480 80
640 96
960 112
1280 128
1940 144
2600 160
4200 175
5800 192
6900 207
8000 223
9120 239
10240 255
Allow light decrease checked.
Decrease hysteresis to 10%.
I hope people like my light settings, if you don't please tell me why
Reasons why some settings should be altered:
Reset threshold, should be able to set to 100 and 200 lux. At the moment if you walk into light it takes the filter some time to go up, so 100 or 200 lux would trigger a reset faster. Also the sensor starts at 225 lux so why 400 as a minimum in the first place?
Window length, as for the above, if you walk into light a smaller window length would help put brightness up much quicker in combination with a smaller reset threshold.
If the above two settings could be added in CMParts/ODParts that be great as the filter would be much more responsive to short period light changes. For example if you go from outside to inside or visa versa.
And maybe it would even be a better idea to remove the whole custom light levels and add a linear function to it to go with the filter (configurable) and just have 254 steps (1-255) over 10-10240?
Adding 254 steps yourself is ... A PAIN ><
English please
guys i know there is a problem with the light sensor in desire and i have the same case with mine it this is all about it please let me know how to fix it please.

What ROM are you using? CyanogenMod and forks of it (OpenDesire, DeFrost etc) have a custom preferences menu where you can check out the light sensor values. That is when you leave the filter off and goto edit other levels. Hold your phone in line with a TL light and it should jump to 1280.
Do you see the top most number change when light changes?
Call me crazy, but I am ><
I put the whole table into the automatic backlight custom levels: http://www.linux-box.nl/~sjoer/1to255/1to255.php
And it works really well with light changes, it should work even better if reset threshold can be lower (200 or maybe 100) as it will respond to bright light <> no light much better.
how did you did that?
without typing lol
This is insane..... so much trouble for such a simple task. Automatic Brightness. On winMO i used g-lite wich was satisfacatory. A have the desire for a month now. I searched from a similar soft and i didn't find. But i'm not gooing to try this much trouble for something that should be easy. Thank you.
Im sorry but....HOW do I apply this ?
Can this be applied to other roms?
I am using Pinky desire and would love to do this.

The screen minimum value is 10-255, so how can I set "1" to the first 2 levels?
I set 10, and I like the settings overall.

First off, "10 1" is redundant as you already cover that from 0 to 9. So 17 levels should be enough. Second, on the last line "10240 225" you probably meant "10240 255". Testing your settings with these modifications now. I find you have a lot of levels, probably can do with less to reduce flickering, but as I said, testing these first.
Can we use these settings in a Sense rom and if yes how?What file do we have to edit?
so useless guys.
setup max brightness and enjoy the brilliant screen.
it takes less battery than this tool to constantly check your ambient brightness.
Can someone please make a post about how to use this (and especially on Sense Roms)? So far it only shows us "which sensor-level should be what brightness" but it doesn't provide any information on how to apply it.
I assume CM either has an app for this installed (if so, please tell us WHICH so we can use it too) or a shell-script in background (if so, tell us WHICH) adjusting the settings.
Could anyone post a how-to use these settings?
Edit: Nvm, it's under: Cyanogen Settings.
Btw under "Edit other levels" you should only change the boxes that's under "Lower"? You shouldn't touch "Screen" and "Button"?
Trying this out, and will see how it goes. Only have 5 levels on my current setup, so this should be a lot smoother

Since the source code of Sense kernels is available now, would it be possible to write the tool for Sense ROMs too? You sure would do a lot of people a big favor
Hi everyone,
Now I know the OG pro has good ram and an amazing processor, and I'm not having any problems with lag or anything. This is more of a thread where I get to see what users have done to their OG pro and/or what apps you have downloaded to improve the phones performance and functionality.
Please post and modifications you have made, apps you use or have used, and how you improved the performance and functionality of the OG pro.
P.S. eventually sometime down the line someone might encounter some performance issues due to some random reason, so by getting this posted started now they will have a thread they can read through in order to improve their phones performance.
THANK YOU!:fingers-crossed:
Since I created the post I figured I would be the first to post a reply.
Currently under the battery setting I have Quad core control turned on in order to optimize my battery saving. This is one option you can turn off in order to IMPROVE PERFORMANCE.
AnTuTu CPU and MEMORY benchmark
Quad core control on Quad core control off
Total: 9786 Total: 10680
RAM: 3161 RAM: 3255
CPU Integer: 2577 CPU Integer: 3367
CPU float: 4048 CPU float: 4058
*I'm not that familiar with AnTuTu but as far as I know the difference in the scores is an increase of 9.1% which is a fairly good gain.
I also use the app named swapps which allows me to switch between apps much faster than having to hold the home button down to get the task menu and switch from there.
I hope this helps!
let's see.
cpu controller on

tibu to freeze/remove a ton of apps.

so long that i can't even guess. i'm quite stunned. i'm not running nay 3d games yet but i do a lot of reading on this so the screen is on, i also have the face recognition running, i can see when the screen tries to time out and the fr kicks in and keeps it lit.
the built-in auto screen dim never worked for me, i have jd brightness set to - 20% 45% 150% and it handles outdoors sunlight much better now also.
the phone last all day long with absolutely no worries at all, i would guess it could easily go 2 days with no worries but i've been plugging it in at night, i like to try to stay close to 100%.

I think you have to turn on auto brightness in the video app that's how I got mine to work
Edit. I made a video during the video play back I hit menu then settings then brightness then checked the auto box that turned on my auto bright

Hi i have been looking for a module for ed xposed which hopefully can control lowest brightness level. I am on Asop rom on the poco f3 and development is in early stages which means in darker areas the low brightness goes to low. It would be useful if there were a module which can set the lowest brightness to a certain value which the system cannot got lower than e.g 12% I hope this is understood and perhaps ther is already a module available for this but i cant find it.

Thankyou so much its working perfectly just what i needed.
I spoke to soon left the phone overnight and in the morning brightness very minimal again. I guess it stopped working.
The following command is how you can toggle HBM on our 6 Pro:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/1c2c0000.drmdsim/1c2c0000.drmdsim.0/backlight/panel0-backlight/hbm_mode
Replace the one with a zero to disable!
HBM = high brightness mode?
Is it worth doing?

I prefer doing it through @flar2 's HBM app set to automatic when using his custom ElementalX kernel. They've made that kernel for each of the previous Pixels (and some other phones) so I expect once the source code drops they'll do so for the P6P as well.
It definitely made a difference in direct sunlight.
Yeah I use Tasker to create QS toggle with that command
Is the command through adb? Or terminal?

Any known downsides? I'm curious if there's no long term ill effects why it isn't just a default option. Any chance what's built in is 'what works for every panel' but HBM might cause an issue with a borderline panel that just barely squeaked through QA?

I was playing around with this command a couple of days ago because I didn't feel that the maximum brightness was very good due to the Pixel 6 Pro using a Samsung s6e3hc3 display (cat /sys/class/backlight/panel0-backlight/device/panel_name), which is in fact the same display the Oppo Find X3 Pro uses & allegedly that goes upto 1300 nits.
I found that:
echo 1 >> /sys/class/backlight/panel0-backlight/hbm_mode
and
echo 2 >> /sys/class/backlight/panel0-backlight/hbm_mode
Both work to give the Pixel 6 Pro to achive a little more brightness (& they stay on after switching the screen off) - obviously setting HBM to "1" provides a little more brightness than "0", and "2" provides even more brightness than "1".
I used my ColourMunki Display to measure the brightness of the display multiple times & got the same results every time: these show that max brightness with HBM @ 0 is ~500 nits, HBM @ 1 is ~795 nits & HBM @ 2 provides 835 nits.
I'm hoping someone can replicate these numbers or verify with another, more accurate device & hopefully (when ElementalX is released) we will be able to toggle both HBM modes via the HBM widget
It also works on my Pixel 6 (non-pro), good to know, thanks!
I guess this is root-only?

Yeah, in the past I've been doing it with tbalden's CleanSlate kernel, which comes with QS toggles. He even has a High Brightness mode & a High Brightness Boost mode, which goes even beyond what High Brightness gives you. But until (or if) he builds his kernel for this phone I'm using flar2's HBM mode app and just toggle it on if I need to.
The other day I went into the bright sun for the first time with this phone to test it's native HBM abilities (without flar2's app). It definitely appeared to turn on by itself (took about 3-5 seconds), which is different from my Pixel 4 XL, where the HBM mode was disabled and hidden by default. The screen was also plenty bright for me to see, so I think all this talk about it not having enough Nits or not being bright enough is a bit exaggerated.
It's definitely not as bright as my op8 pro. I work outside so I always use flars hbm. I'm using it still but it's a little glitchy

Can agree with this. Even with bright sunshine outside, I can still see everything without problem & sunglasses on (stock, no root, no forced HBM). That's the most extreme usecase I can think of, so that's fine on my end.

There might be a possible downside of screen burn in for having HBM on for extended periods. Maybe poor battery life as well.
I don't think there's a default option because I think Android will enable it automatically when the device is under bright light. This command lets you use the mode in any lighting condition
If I'm incorrect with any of this information, anyone who knows more, feel free to let us know!

I used automatic HBM through @flar2 's ElementalX kernel and app on my Pixel 1 for several years - I never experienced any issues. It definitely made the screen brighter in direct sunlight than the Pixel 1 did by itself without the kernel and app.

Following up on this, I tested some HDR10+ videos on YouTube & if you run cat /sys/class/backlight/panel0-backlight/hbm_mode, when these are playing, you get a result of HBM: "1" so the kernel is obviously able to use this feature on a stock device, and maybe even utilises this when in extreme lighting conditions.

Hi, good members of xda!
Recently flashed AICP custom rom on my poco f3 also have rooted via magisk
It seems that refresh rate mechanism would lock it on peak refresh rate(Settings-Additional device settings-Peak Refresh Rate) in following games(even though they don't support 120hz, which caused screen juddering):
***120hz compatibility verified using multiple sources***
Source 1 Source 2
Asphalt 9 Legends
Genshin Impact
#DRIVE
I love Hue(Supported, but refresh rate switching is very aggressive goes back and forth a lot)
Darkness Rises(Supported, but I have 60fps enabled, yet refresh rate is 120hz anyway)
....
I have a few questions:
1-Can I force 60hz on specific games or apps? (something like per-app profile in FK kernel manager source but with an option for refresh rate)
2-Is refresh rate switch mechanism mainly related to display panel or software?
3-should I find relevant forum of each game or open a thread on Mi forums?
Thanks in advance!
Hi there, if you can't do it in other way, you can install macrodroid and make a macro that everytime you start those games it automatcally switches the maximum refresh rate to 60hz, and when you leave the game it switches back to 120hz, easy stuff to do...
Macrodroid can switch refresh rate too? Didn't know.. I mean I used macrodroid before, but since didn't have any HRR device, didn't think it could do it.
Edit: know I realize, scripting? Hmmm... Will search around and see how to do so...

I used macrodroid, still no luck.. Tried a lot of combinations
Via md helper
md helper log, it seems it wants adb access... Interesting turn of events
Will grant and see what happens
Granted adb, peak refresh rate changed, still in game it says 120hz
That's very strange, maybe there are two places you can change the refresh rate on that rom? If i remember correctly, on the first builds or crdoird i could change the refresh rate on display settings and on crdroid settings, if i changed it on display settings, after a reboot the settings reverted, but if i changed it on crdroid settings it would remain changed... I dont know if that rom as the same or maybe two places with the same setting...
Well, I don't know either.. I posted a thread on macrodroid forum too.. Maybe guys over there can help
Thanks a bunch!
I'll keep experimenting with this matter... Since I have quite a lot of free time!
Still not a reply on macrodroid forum and not even a view! My luck seems to be dried AF!
