[APP] AdjBrightness - Android Apps and Games

*ROOT REQUIRED*
AdjBrightness adjusts screen brightness for *rooted* android device. It can set the brightness from 2 ~ 255 and lock it so that most of other applications cannot change it. Alternatively, if you don't want to lock the brightness, "auto restore" option can restore it after screen turned on.
It also can turn off the background light of buttons.
Saves the battery and eyes!
Anyway, IF YOU ENCOUNTER ANY PROBLEM, REBOOT!
It can be downloaded from market or just download the attachment.

This would be really nice if you could add an auto feature that has more too it than the stock one to save more battery. Like winmo Lumos
Works very well with my Evo 4g running Damage3.2.3 neterty kernal 7.1a rooted
Maybe also a widget with custom or pre-defined settings for easy access?
I really wish you could make this like lumos MANY MANY users have asked for this already for the evo

What Lumos is? Where can I found it?

Most excellent ! finally i can stop those stupid backlighted buttons when i use my phone in the dark
But i found the brightness range is the same as what i have normally from the phone manual settings (Desire), i hoped it could go lower.

don't work on Galaxy S.
a question: can i make it darker then 0% (in the settings>) ?
sry for my english

You are right. Galaxy's are not supported. It works perfectly on Hero.

This app is great. It turns the backlight completely off on the myTouch 3G which is just what I wanted. It would be great if you could add the ability to make shortcuts on the desktop to a particular setting.
So I could hit a shortcut/widget on the desktop to change the brightness to 10 (backlight off) and then one to turn it back to 20 (backlight on).
Thanks for the app!

I found out about AdjBrightness yesterday in a thread where it was discussed it's possible to lower the brightness more than the standard brightness settings in HTC Sendse. I'm running a rooted HTC Desire with Android 2.2 (Modaco) but I can't see that the brightness get any lower with AdjBrightness than with default settings in Sense. I have given AdjBrightness root access as well. Have I missunderstood what the application actually does, can't the brightness not go below the lowest value you can set in the settings in HTC Sense? Cheers!

You can disable "Automatic brightness" in system settings and try again. I use HTC Sense too and it works.

updated to v1.2.7.3, support to turn off amber light. fixed fc issue sometimes after turn on screen.

Awesome. I've always wanted to go lower brightness than what Android's minimum was. This will be great for reading at night.

good app!!! thanks!!!

Hi. New member to the forum.
I have a rooted Backflip (US AT&T) and previously installed adjBrightness. It worked fine the last time I used it before today. However, for whatever reason, today it throws force close errors.
As I recall, the only thing I did to my phone was delete some AT&T crapware (the radio and music apps).
Any ideas?
Thanks, mojohn

Hi, could you tell me when the force close occurred? When starting the AdjBrightness application, or after clicked a button, or after turn on the screen?

Nice app. Just need some sort of homescreen widget & a new icon, it's hideous.

Fixed some bugs for 1.6 android system. If somebody cannot turn on screen, please keep the "Auto restore" ticked in settings.

I once made a version to support galaxy s, it can adjust the brightness, but people reported they could not turn on the screen afterwards.
Sorry, I am afraid it won't be fixed until I can access a galaxy s device.

my few nitpicks

I love this phone without a doubt coming from the OG Droid, although using my friend's incredible pretty often.
#1 the led notification is tiny. unless youre looking at it head on you wont know if you have one.
#2 the vibration is very weak, i hope there is a way to improve this
#3 the brightness. on my old phone on the power widgets toggle, you would tap it and it would go from minimum, medium, max, off, etc. On this one you either set it on auto or have to adjust the slider constantly. I have to think you can get more battery hours out of this if it was like the old display.
#4 i dont like that there isn't a camera button. I don't care who you are, this is more like iphone using the touch screen to take a pic and youre more likely to move the screen while hitting it.
Other than that, i love this phone. it's nitro fast even compared to the 1ghtz overclocked droid, I can't wait to root and overclock and put on CM7
Why don't you use your fancy new Thunderbolt to call someone that cares.

i've noticed 1 and 2, i dont feel the vibration in my pocket and i thought it was my case. after taking it off it make no difference. my og droid had an awesome led and i customized it like crazy.
I agree that the LED notification can be pretty hard to see sometimes. But the brightness toggle widget does indeed change the brightness to min, med, max.

If you take the brightness out of "Auto" the brightness widget allows you to select threed different modes.
right, if its not in auto mode, it brings up the slider. I can't just tap 2-3 times on the icon to change different levels.

I just doubled checked mine to be 100% sure.... No matter the setting (auto or not) I can tap the widget and it will change through the modes like normal.
If your's is not doing this then something is up I would say.
That is VERY wierd because I works on mine. All if have to do is tap the widget and it gets changes modes. Are you using the Official HTC brightness widget? Also are you using the "solo" brightness widget? (The one with just the brightness, not the power bar widget)
okay, what exactly is the name of the widget youre doing this with so were on the same page?

It's called "Screen Brightness" located under the "Settings" category under Widgets. I'm guessing you're using the Power Dashboard widget which displays all of different settings on one bar.
you are correct, mine is listed as power widget. I don't see the one you're referring to

Just to test, I installed both and they both work the same for me... each press changed the brightness as it should.
You're running Sense right? No ADW or LauncherPro correct? I'm starting to think he's running a launcher and using the default widgets that come with Android.

It won't hurt to have both installed (This is actually how I tested and compared, using TeslaLED Donate 2.0.4 and TeslaLED (non-donate) 3.0beta ), however having both installed means when going to add the widget you'll see both listed as TeslaLED with the same icon so it's a bit confusing. On my devices the 2nd option was the 3.0 beta but I'm not sure how android sorts that list so it might vary.
Have you thought about pulsing the signal to the LED so quickly that it emulates a true PWM feature or using the built in PWM on the LED in most phones to create pulsing or breathing LED with variable speeds or patterns.
I would love to help you with it and we could add the one good Apple thing to our phones that they don't even have on the iPhone.
Sound Cool?

Unfortunately the LED APIs are more like desktop APIs rather than microcontroller APIs (or bits to twiddle I guess).
HTC's is best which gives variable brightness (most likely implemented by an internal PWM) and responds quickly and is easy to use (write to a file in /sys/devices).
Standard/Standard+ are using the camera APIs which are a bit slow and have the choice of either on or off
TeslaLED's strobe at 20Hz stutters once in a while when using the camera API and PWM would need much higher than 20Hz.
With root or a custom kernel I'm sure you could have a bit more control over the flash, but it'd likely be rather device specific and still might not even lead to true PWM control as the camera might have it's own private controller that is slow to accept commands.
Runs great on Stock Samsung Galaxy SII
1000 Thanks man!

Beta 3 runs great on the Incredible (Sense)! Love the new Sense styled widget. Thanks!!!
Got problems on my Galaxy S2, I started the LED, either using widget locker or using the widget on my home screen, then after the screen goes off, the led goes off then on again (which I believe is normal). If I wait a further 15 seconds approximately then the LED goes off again and this time stays off.
At this point both the widget won't work to turn it back on or off, nor the built in widget for widget locker. I can however close it using the notification bar. When I try to close it using the above methods I get a force close error:
"The application TeslaLED (process com.teslacoilsw.flashlight) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
This is the case for both beta 3 and the released version of the software. I've sent a bug report.

I have a Galaxy S2 now and I was wondering why I couldn't reproduce the problems people said they had, even when I was using the old version. It seems the wait 15 seconds, with the device not plugged into a computer, is key. It also makes it much more difficult to get debug logs.
Unfortunately I couldn't find any tricks to get the LED to stay on with the screen off, so I'm going to need to disable that ability on the GS2. Keeping the screen on works and TeslaLED has a (disabled by default) "Dim Screen" page you can use to have a fake-screen-off. Not perfect though (and only accessible from the app).

Touch key brightness

Hey all, I'm trying to figure out how to get some brightness settings for the touch key brightness to stick. I've used LG 2x Notifications and O2x Touch Key Brightness, and they both work up until the point where i put the phone to sleep by tapping the power button. As soon as I wake it up, the brightness goes straight to zero unless i head back to the app and raise it up again. And if i uninstall the apps, the brightness on my keys stay off until i re-flash or reinstall the app again. Help!
My issue is a little different but similar. It worked fine for me on every basic gingerbread rom, but when I switched to a cm7 based rom the lights change with the brightness of the screen. I turned off all the light notifications but it did not help.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

On SinghUI but it doesn't have built-in LED notifications, if that's what you're getting at.
If the setting from one of those apps doesn't stick, then it's most likely being set by your ROM or Kernel. Have you tried checking if you get the same issue with other ROMs?
@jcbofkc That's a built-in setting that can't really be changed unless you get a custom ROM or Kernel cooked up to remove the link between the brightnesses.

90% sure the ROM doesn't have built in notifications. I'm noticing now that very rarely the settings do stick. Perhaps there is a way to force the app to stay in memory?

That wouldn't work. All that those apps do is write a number from 0-20 to the text file:
/sys/devices/platform/star_touch_led/wled
in your root file system.
When you read the file, it shows you the current output to the LEDs (from 0uA to 2000uA).
When you write to the file, it interacts with the Kernel and sets the brightness.
The Touch Key Lights type apps, all they do is when you move the slider they write a value to that file, and that's it. The only reason it wouldn't stick is if your ROM or Kernel is changing the value in the background. For example it will set it to 0 when you turn the screen off, and then it should set it back to wherever it was before when you turn the screen on again.
The closest you could get is to take the source for LG Touch LED Notifications and modify it to set the brightness every few seconds or something, but that probably wouldn't be too good for your battery life.
Based on your symptoms it appears that either your ROM or your phone doesn't really handle the modifying of the brightness very well. It looks like SinghUI does use a kernel from CM7, so I don't think your kernel is the problem. I'd suggest flashing the most recent CM7.2 RC, and seeing if you have the same problem there. CyanogenMod will change your LED brightness based on your screen brightness though.
EDIT: Ignore all that for a moment, try this first. It is a post from January 21st in the SinghUI thread, so it might not work now, but go ahead and try it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21652744&postcount=293
Also I'd suggest posting in the SinghUI thread as everyone there is using your ROM, so they might be able to help better.

[Q] Wonky Brightness - Help?

Sorry the title couldn't describe much, but this situation with my VZWGS3 is a special one. I have not been able to find a situation similar to mine by searching this forum or the internet.
My problem, is that when i wake my device with the power button, it automatically ducks my brightness down to minimum. In my brightness settings, I disabled auto brightness and I have the slider at 100%. I have to tickle the brightness slider to get it to come back up to 100% brightness. My first thought is that the lock screen is forcing the screen to dim. It isn't even a smooth transition. When I do enable auto brightness, it still dims the screen on wake, but it only changes when the ambient lighting changes (thus causing auto brightness to kick in) and then it looks normal. The result of this problem is that I cant see my screen when i turn it on outside or in bright rooms. This does not have anything to do with battery, because this happens even when it is plugged in and at 100%
I'm on a deodexed stock pre-rooted touchwiz rom. Baseband version: I535VRBMF1. Android Version: 4.1.2. Kernel: 3.0.31-1152558 [email protected] #1
Android build number: JZO54K.I535VRBMF1
Later on today, I can make a video of this happening to better describe the issue. For now, just let this ponder in your heads.
Also, is it possible to debug which apps cause something to happen to the system? For instance, scan to see which apps & processes are controlling brightness.

Oops accidentally thanked you haha. But back on topic, I dont know of a way to debug that type of problem. what i would suggest since you're rooted is to make a backup in Titanium and a Nandroid. Then try doing a factory reset. That is a very strange problem indeed..

Thanks for your reply. I'll probably try a factory reset. Can't hurt. There's a question I have about TiBu when it restores apps, so i'll ask that in another forum before I begin the process. In the meantime, this thread is still open to ideas.
Ok. This is a bit of a *facepalm* moment. Let it be noted that the main reason my GS3 was having this problem was the app called "Light Flow". I came upon this conclusion by giving the safemode of android a try. The problem immediately disappeared, so I realized it was an app. I thought a bit about what app could be controlling the lights of the phone, and the lightbulb went off. Uninstalled Light Flow and the problem stopped. I guess I kinda miss the custom notification light, which is why I downloaded Light Flow in the first place because I miss some of the notification light customization features on other Cyanogen based roms. Later on I heard from a buddy that Light Flow really screws up some things on the GS3.

Light Flow

Has anyone been able to get Light Flow to work on the OnePlus One? I like light flow a lot better than the CM notification center, but I just can't seem to get it to work.
Has anyone here getten it to work? If so, mind sharing your settings?
So far I've had one person say it worked and two not!
Can you try and see if led color tester by coolbeans works on the phone (with lightflow either not installed or disabled) and let me know if that works?
I'm interested in this as well. I enjoy Lightflow so much more than any of the other notification apps I've tried. I'll be heartbroken if it doesn't work...
i used lightflow with paranoid android and it works fine on my oneplus one chinese version

Hello. I'm a big fan of your work (been using on the N4 and N5).
I also have this app on my OnePlus One. I noticed that up until the most recent build that all my notifications were working. Gmail and stuff were all fine.
Is it me or did the latest build change something? When notifications come in I get a white light blinking. When I power my screen on and off again it seems like Light Flow then registers, and now I get green pulses.
I'm not sure if its the most recent build of Light Flow or if its because I added a second Gmail account). I am rooted so I'm on root mode, but maybe some of my settings are whacked?

Yep, have the same "issue". Before the last Update everything was fine..
No Light Flow issues here.
Just got my OnePlus One today. Installed, restored the app generated backup from my S4, good to go.
Some apps need to have their own LED setting disabled for LF to work properly since the last version.

Hello. I'm a big fan of your work (been using on the N4 and N5).

I'm aware of this for some users and I've just pushed out an update (it should show in the play store over the next few hours) I've had a few people testing who had that issue and reports so far seem to be that it fixes that issue.

Just got my OPO today and Light Flow is working great. Just restored my backup from my Nexus 4 and no probs. Love the new UI too!

You sir are a hero. It no longer requires me to use Gravity Box UNC to override settings.
Question: Do you recommend for high end phones like the N5 and OPO to run in foreground or background? I see no issues with background on my OPO and the app doesn't get killed at all.
Second question: You're still going to roll out global settings someday right? Having to change speeds for every app is a bit annoying, or even custom blink settings.
Final question: Is it possible to adjust the brightness for the LED? I see a brightness option in the sleep options for night blinking, but adjustments for individual notifications? Would be nice to have global for this too

On the N5 I find it does work better with the option on, without it once every few days maybe it'll get killed off by android (which is fairly normal for any background service) so it'll miss a notification.

Yes that's still on the list. If google hadn't brought out android L I'd have been working on that, but I've had to divert my time to issues with that!

There's a global option for this (in lightflow, settings, general settings, led brightness), but not individual, you'd just have to use the custom color option at the moment.
Lightflow works for me.
I can't get LF working, or if it does work it just flashes white. I'm 100% stock/unrooted so is there anything else I need to activate to get it working? I had no issues with my previous Nexus 4/5 so it must be something silly!
EDIT: Reinstalled and seems to be working OK now, so obviously something I did wrong!
Thanks for the help @andrewpmoore
Is it possible to have the lights on even when the screen on? Is that the "Samsung direct mode?" I don't believe that worked on my other non Samsung devices, so I doubt it will work on the OPO.
I ask because CM's battery LED seems to by default remain on even when the screen is on or off.

Same here. Rooted. Locked bootloader. Dunno if it matters...
Correction! There seems to be a small glitch: At the end of Charging when switching to Charged it seems to start switching between Charging and Charged rather than just using the Charged notification.
I've a fix coming for switching between charged and charging.
What 'Device Settings' is everyone running to make this work? Is anyone using:
Direct Mode?
Samsung root mode?
Reset color before change?
Nexus 5 force LED reset?
For some reason mine works for a period of time than I start getting SMS's and it stops working. I restart the app, but it doesn't continue to work again. Not sure what's going on.

The glitch seems to have exploded... nothing seems to be working now... not mail, not sms ... nothing. Tried to enable the root option but it makes no difference

The Nexus 5 thing is the only box I have checked (must've been by default since I didn't do it).

Not having any issues... maybe backup your notification settings and then wipe and restore them. Ensure LF has the proper notifications access, etc.

Nope. Nothing. Tried to clear the cache and data. Tested the notifications and nothing... Checked Notification access and tried enabling root mode. Still nothing... Phone is stock though rooted.
