Hi there.
I am just wondering if there is a way [a script, maybe?] to increase the brightness level from 100% to 120% or more.
Just like on racht's rom [floyo and CM7], which have this by default.
Thanks to all who will give some advices
Bump!

hy, i think it is possible, but you have to know, increaseing brightness level depends on brightness led's power. if you give too much power to it, it will be died. (and x8 is one of mobiles which has better brightness in its price category)
Has anyone tried CPU Tuner (https://market.android.com/details?id=ch.amana.android.cputuner&feature=search_result) yet to see whether it improves battery life?
For example, when playing a game like Angry Birds, it looks like the CPU scales up to full speed (1.2Ghz) even though only a small percentage of that CPU power is used. CPU Tuner allows you to set a maximum CPU speed, and Angry Birds seems to run equally well with the maximum speed set to 800Mhz. I guess the processor running at full speed could explain why some people are complaining about the battery draining faster than expected and the phone getting hot while playing games, so maybe CPU Tuner can help a bit here?
I've only done a few quick tests by quickly switching between Angry Birds and Elixer to view CPU speed & usage (does anyone know a better tool that can generate a full CPU graph)? I haven't played long enough to see whether it has any effect on battery life. CPU Tuner seems to limit CPU speed correctly on the S2; for now I've disabled profile support in CPU Tuner settings to prevent it from starting up automatically during boot (just in case it causes any problems).
Hello,
I'm one of those first users who has received GS3 in the first days of June and a user of the FoxHound Rom which is very good since doing some undervolting, modifying the kernel and changing some other setting like free ram modem changing I achieved a very very long battery life (at least +50% of battery life) and a butter like transition as screen effects.
The only problem for me, which would be with every GS3, it's the maximum brightness. It's too low. In the FoxHound mod there's the famous STweak which theoretically has a setting to improbe the maximum brightness from 28 (default) to 35... but I don't think that it works.
Do you know some other root app or some kind of mod which allow a really improvement of maximum brightness? Cuz as default, this display is too dark under the sun, which is one of the the two major defects of this smartphone (the other one is the materials... I'm ok with the chassis made of PC but the backcover made of PC too, no. I'd have rather chose some aluminum alloy or mg alloy with MAO treatment.)
Thanks in advance guys.
Auto brightness is profoundly terrible on the S3.

Try Lux Autobrightness in Google Play. It works for me.

Does it increase battery drain?

I guess it will but not much so far.
No guys, wait a moment.
If I'm not wrong, your talking about apps which modify AUTObrightness. But as for that I've already solved just with STweaks which allows to modify autobrightness setting. My concern is for MAXIMUM brightness..Maximum brightness is not modified by autobrightness settings.
As for me lux doesn't change the maximum level.

I`am only interested in the minimum autobrightness values. And this apps solves it for me.
As for minimum value I agree but this doesn't solve at all what I asked in the first post

Uhm ... that's bad ... I mean, what I need is exactely the FoxHound (graphic aosp like, all samsuns built-in apps, downclock and downvolt option on both CPU and GPU, STweaks, kernel like siyah) just with better maximum brightness ... so changing to an aosp rom, I'd prefer to avoid it.
I'm giving a shot to the tone tweak but I don't see any remarkable improvement at the moment...

Where are those modifications to Auto brightness? I don't see anywhere in STweaks where they can be made.
"min_bl" in brightness curve setting.. if you increase it the screen will remain at lower brightness level at higher environment brightness.. practically you change how it reacts to environmental brightness. As for me, it works.
But here you cannot decrease the minimum brightness level.
Any hint?
Im aware that power saving mode reduces usage on background apps, etc. but does it also limit the gpu performance? Better or worse for game performance for example?
yes
Hi, does anyone know why sony removed performance mode from x1? Now in Stamina options there are only 2 modes available where for xz premium there were 3 of them...
