It's possible to add the possibility to modify the brightness value? I'd like to customize not only the auto brightness, but also the minimum and maximum values! Like in the GravityBox (Xposed Framework). :fingers-crossed:
any hope?
In my opinion this is essential feature. Default android brightness is way to bright. It hurt eyes at evening.

I figured this would come along by now but for some reason it hasn't. On my iPhone I could set my brightness that the auto brightness would adjust accordingly. Because the auto brightness is generally too bright or too dark. Also maybe adding some timing controls for how long before the auto brightness adjusts. The displays in these devices suck down the battery like crazy this would help significantly.

I too thought we might have seen this by now. I know there have been some tweaks in ROMs, but a slider that sets the sensitivity or the upper/lower limits would be excellent.
u talking about this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=708660

Extended controls has an Auto Brightness setting, same as Froyo Power Control widget.
What OP wants is auto setting where you can control sensitivity of light sensor.
Ok I'll try explaining again. Communication isn't my strong suite. Basically, on an iPhone you can set auto brightness, then under auto brightness checkbox you have a slider that calibrates the brightness throughout the range of the ambient light sensor. So it's still a brightness control it just works in conjunction with the auto brightness setting. Being able to fine tune the brightness throughout the range of the ambient light sensor would be a bonus because with the current auto brightness I can barely see the screen in daylight but it's not maxed out because I can still adjust it all the way up with the power control widget and the opposite is true at night, i could go dimmer at night and still see the screen clearly. Strictly copying the functionality of the iPhone wouldn't fully address this. An app would be ok I suppose but I'd much rather see a system mod. I really hate apps like Trackball alert, nothing against the author I just don't like running an additional app to address the lack of a feature in the OS itself.
Good thought
I agree completely. I'm a recovering iPhone user and the adjustable auto-brightness is a feature that I desperately miss. One of my top complaints about android.
This idea is fantastic. It's something I've been thinking about too (never knew iPhone has it though)
When indoors I sometimes find auto brightness too bright. When outdoors and its sunny sometimes its upper limit is not bright enough. In both situations I have to turn off auto.
Actually last night I noticed that auto brightness was dimmer than the lowest brightness setting. I reckon that a lower/dimmer threshold should be available too on the manual brightness settings.
Is it possible to tweak the auto brightness levels now that we have EC10 kernels (someone had told me that auto brightness levels were controlled by kernels)?
It seems like this would be an awesome opportunity for some battery life savings...
Why not just keep it on a low setting, then bump it up whenever you need to?
Just slide your finger along the notification bar or use a widget.
I know I know. I just thought itd be nice to get some use out of the ambient light sensor...
Hi! My question is: Is there a BIG difference between leaving lowest brightness setting and auto-brightness? If so, how much? (Hours, battery usage, etc)
Thanks! I hope this thread will be informative for everyone..
Auto-brightness consumes more battery because it is constantly changing brightness, if you want the best battery power just use the lowest brightness
as aaitken said auto brightness consumes more battery . its better to use low brightness and use a brightness control widget from market and change the brightness manually when required

If you have a stock firmware, or a stock based ROM, you can adjust brightness anywhere you can access the notification bar. This is built into TouchWiz. Just hold your finger on the notification bar until you see the pull-down shade, and slide your finger left or right to adjust brightness.
I leave my brightness on lowest and adjust as necessary with this, i.e. when I'm in a bright setting, and need to turn my brightness up.
Also there is brightness options in AOKP with the toggles and in CM9 (and most other AOSP roms) as a power save widget bala_gamer's option's also a good way
Thank you very much for your helpful answers..
Anyone here using this app for Auto Brightness on AOSP/AOKP
If so, can we share settings?

Just installed after read your post. First impression: Awesome!!
This app may be the perfect addition to AOPK/CM9 Roms because it's a lot more intelligent than the stock auto brightness settings which are present at those custom roms.
Currently i'm looking after the right settings. What's your current status?
Did you meanwhile find any nice to know settings?
Meanwhile i read the whole instructions and found out my perfect settings.
1) There are several modes of auto brightness
I've chosen the dynamic mode because it adjusts the brightness level immediately when the environment light takes a significant change.
2) If Lux doesn't find your perfect brightness level you can easily go to the dashboard and adjust the brightness by moving the brightness slider to your desired brightness level. After you found your wished brightness level for the current environment you can push the "link" button to save the current brightness level to the environment light.
I did not do any more changes yet as i presume that those setting will be enough to get the perfect brightness settings
What's your experience?
Reinstalled, gunna try it again!
my test settings ;-)

Hi
Can anyone eloborate on what adjust brightness on Gboard does? I'm using a complete black background and there is an option with a slider to adjust brightness, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
And is there a way to lower the brightness of the keys?
Thanks.
