Hi everyone,
I have been testing a lot of different custom ROMs for my X10 but so far I have not come across a single one that 1) support the advanced CM backlight settings successfully allowing the backlight to be set below 15/255 2) any market app that would achieve the same thing i.e. lower the backlight to lower than what is achievable through the normal settings slider. Screen Filter is not good, it only lowers the color brightness but the backlight still burns your eyes. My HTC Hero supported the CM settings and it is the only thing i miss after my transition to the otherwise glorious X10.

I just installed Android 2.1 and rooted it. In the brightness setting there is no longer a selection to choose the Auto-brightness setting, just a slider for low and high brightness.
Also I noticed the Power Widget that has the brightness control switch lets you switch between low, auto, and high, but while in Auto (the dimmer setting while the button is ON), the sensitivity is very poor and will only brighten the display by about 10% while moving from a very dark environment to a very bright environment.
Yup, i agree. This sucks. Although i had forgoten how nice everything looks with the brightness turned up. All the same id like to have it back.

cant expect everything in 2.1 to be perfect. Yes it has taken them a while but i wouldnt expect it to be without any flaws!
At least we got it finally. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

I thought this today too but the Auto Brighten IS there and still working, just a bit differently.
Initially you choose the 3 levels of brightness on the quick select from the 5 widget icons. This is the brightest it will go, but if you go from a dark or light room it DOES indeed still adjust.
I noticed this after a bit today just standing in the kitchen watching the movers do their thing at my old place. The sun was ducking in and out of the clouds and the auto function was working fine. I tried it in all 3 modes, the only one it doesn't do anything in is the least bright mode...the one I noticed it most is the middle bright mode.
So YES, it is indeed working, just differently.
The auto Brightness sucked in 1.6 anyway. It was never that good for me. I use a brightness widget to adjust it.
I much prefer the way it works now. Seems to be a lot more user friendly tbh
have you tried the setting in spare parts (from the market)?
I've not tried it myself, but I know the auto setting is there.

Hmm. I have the 2.1 update and I have set the brightness to the low setting in the power widget. The brightness still adjusts automatically, and I don't want it to. I want it to stay at a low level all the time to save my battery. How?!
I found the autobright option (middle setting on the widget) doesn't brighten the screen as much as in version 1.6. Is there a setting that can be modified to increase this threshold?
When i set it to full bright (last setting on the widget), although very bright and crisp, I find it kills my battery life.
The only settings I've found about brightness are the ones of the widget and the ones in the setup menu, under the voice "display settings", I didn't found anything you need but if I'll found I'll let you know, specially if you can tell me how to disable the autobright option at all, leaving the brightness at a value that I want, without any changes by the sensor. I hope this is possible, because my battery is really eaten by my display
I use the Brightness Profiles app. It seems to hold the settings after reboots.
Hi, I have an I9100G, with rooted stock ROM, firmware DZKI1, Android 2.3.5. I'm just curious about a couple of items in the Display settings. There's an option called Brightness - Adjust the brightness of the screen, and when we click it, we can adjust the brightness or select the checkbox for Automatic brightness. On the same screen, a bit further down, there's another setting for Auto adjust screen power - Save power by analyzing image and adjusting LCD brightness. Anybody knows what's the difference between the two?
One uses an external light sensor to adjust for lighting conditions.
the other uses an internal sensor to adjust the colour display depending on the background of the graphic and how many colours are used.
Quick question -
I have a rooted HTC DesireHD & sometimes I'd like to use the 'Auto brightness' feature - especially if moving indoors/outdoors quite regularly.
However I've noticed that the screen brightness seems a little 'too' bright compared to how I usually have it (indoors I usually have it ~12%, outdoors ~90%) - In 'auto mode' the 'indoors' seem to be about 20-25%
I pretty sure that there is a way to telling the Android system the level to have the screen depending on how much light the light sensor picks up - but I think that involves editing certain files & 'ADB' command etc (which I'm not totally confident I could do)
Does any1 know of an App (preferably free) that shows the current light level picked up by the phone & the brightness level that's been currently used, which also allows you to alter (& save) a lower value for that light level (perhaps with a slider or value box ??)
Thanks in advance
Well despite 130 views - seems like no-one has any suggestions
Anyway, I persevered with Google play search & it seems I may've found a couple possibilities (Avaliable as 'free' and 'paid for') so I thought I'll post them here in case any1 else wants them
There's Custom Auto Brightness (free) here
AND
Lux Auto Brightness here (Lux has paid version that allows even darker levels of screen display)
I've tried out 'Custom Auto Level' but either I was doing something wrong, but on occasions it would'nt dim the screen in bright light (I tested by shining a torch onto the sensor), however I'm currently trying out the LUX [Free] version to see if it'll do the job
(Took a while to actually figure out that you had to use the 'Link' option to actually SET the brightness of screen to Level of light detected )
Is there a way to add the Auto Adjust Screen Power setting to roms that do not have this setting? I would like to use some of these great roms but they are too dim for me. To see what I am talking about, if you have this setting, check mark it and you will see all the apps become very dim and for some reason all the roms that do not have this setting have it have this set by default with no way to uncheck it. It would be great if this could be added to all our roms cause my vision cannot take the strain of the dim screen.
Any devs listening?
I read in another phone thread there was a screen xml that controlled the level of auto brightness and could increase the level over 100% so you could see the screen better in daylight.
So it is possible but I have no skill or clue.
