This is getting tiresome... When?

After months of whining... One last try.
When will someone finally make a legitimate Sense app to adjust autobrightness light levels?
The default autobrightness is too bright in the dark, too dim in sunlight. I want to be able to check that autobrightness box once, and forget about it, yet still have pleasant to the eye brightness in all conditions.
CM6 has had that feature for months. Can no one hack Sense autobrightness?

Not everyone has the time or resources to learn everything. In fact, this community is here to help people who don't have that knowledge

I believe calkulin's evio rom has this in it

I use widgetsoid2.x to do this along with many other things. Free app from the market.

Sorry if this comes out sounding wrong, but why do you need to change your LCD Density. If you know "WHY" you need to change it. You should already know how. This process is not for people that do not know what they are doing and should not be done unless you have a good amount of experience doing so, as messing with the file settings could brick your device, or send you into a boot loop. Hope for the boot loop. But i won't be responsible for telling the masses how to do it. If you really think you need to do it. Answer the question of WHY, and i'll message you. or you can google the process.

Once you do adjust your settings, you will find that your phone keypad layouts are not adjusted to fit your new screen size
This is my question to older members
How do you fix the phone keypad layout and other screens that dont fit?

The apk has to be decompiled, scaled and recompiled to fix the resolution change. Once again, this is why you don't just change the screen resolution because someone said it could be done. We usually change it for a specific reason.

Humble 1.3 comes with a LCD density change and I don't notice any issues with layouts.

Hey guys. Thanks for all the info. I am running the latest humble froyo and lcd was set at 200 which affected the dialer screen and such. That's the only reason i switched it back to a density of 240. Thanks for the help.

Kind of on topic, one great tip for the SR is to tap and hold on the status bar and slowly slide left or right to adjust brightness levels on the fly. Love this phone!

[GUIDE] CM9 Auto Brightness Values

*These values also work for CM7*
I personally take no credit for this as i was searching how to set proper settings for my auto brightness using Team DIRT v1.7, so i searched all over Google and came across these settings that were recommended by the user "brkshr" over at rootzwiki, so all credit goes to him as i'm only basically copying and pasting what he has over there, hopefully it's not a big deal, if so, we can always remove this. They seem to be working just fine for me, but if any of you would like to give it a go, go ahead. I'm not responsible if your phone blows up, make a nandroid backup before you ever play with your phone settings. Shout outs to Team DIRT, CM Team for everything they've provided to us for our beloved Evil (Evo) OG (4G). If you don't find it too much to ask for, please thank the guy i bit this off of. "brkshr"

Decrease hysteresis - 50%
Once done, click on "Save and Apply" and you should be good to go!
(Hope i didn't violate any rules, i gave credit where i could)

First, I think you mean Deck's Reloaded ROM. Second, if you want to emulate the number of levels in the OP, just hit the button at the bottom that says "set number of levels."

Sorry for the noob question here but I've been away from aosp for awhile. Does this thread mean auto brightness is finally working properly in cm9 roms? And the compass works too? Did I miss when this bug got fixed?

It means you can perfect your brightness so its not so bright all the time.. you can customize with lux auto brightness (app) also

i haven't heard anything new on the compass so I'm assuming it's working just fine, i use googles maps without any issues so i would say yes it's fixed. as far as the auto brightness features, if you follow this guide, it will set your values up in a sense that it covers all types of lighting situations. i tried it out yesterday in doors and out, i'd have to say i was quite happy with the results. very responsive as well.

Am I doing something wrong? I tried following the steps here but my screen was so dim that I could barely see it indoors.
I am on Deck's Reloaded and I changed the number of levels to 20 and tried to mimic the settings but didn't have any luck. When I change the number of levels the "upper" value (that can't be changed) are all 0...Do I need to do something to change that? I tried just going through and setting it like in the attachments but maybe I did something wrong.

Change the entries under "screen" to something higher until it looks good to u. I like mine a little brighter, so I started with "0,80,0" as the first line, and then increased as I went down the list. Hope this makes sense.

I ended up raising my values up a tad bit as well.. it has definetely been helping me get my screen brightness adjusted accordingly, which is great.

I think you guys misunderstood my question earlier. Last time I tried cm9 (about two weeks ago) the custom auto brightness settings could not be changed, they would revert as soon as you exit the menu even after hitting save and apply. Also the time it took to adjust to changing light conditions was +10 seconds and basically unusable. (I saw in the changelog it was this way because they werent able to get custom auto brightness and the compass working at the same time). So am I to believe this is not the case anymore?

no longer the case. make sure your auto brightness is actually checked.. i was having issues until i realized it wasn't checked to begin with.

Works well on CM7 as well :thumbup:

Reduce screen voltage??

So is there a way to reduce brightness further than the stock settings? It seems all the ROMs are too bright in a dark room. Is there something I can adjust in a file or is a kernel the only way? I have added "ro.lcd_min_brightness=0" to the build.prop but it's still not enough. I'm not looking to use an app with a filter to do the job. I just want to do it the proper way. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

Edit.
doesn't seem to work. Sorry, I just got this phone.
Have you tried AdjBrightness?
I used to use it on my dx but sometimes the setting wouldn't stick on reboot.

I see what you saying but I really don't want another service running in the background. This also won't drop the screen voltage and will lose the nice contrast ratio we have. I really want to drop the LCD lighting voltage.

You could decompile framework-res and adjust the auto brightness setting to your own liking. I've done that. Used a guide here on xda somewhere, give it a try. You do need adb set up and 7zip and notepad++. But its fairly simple.

Great thanks! Definitely going to give it a shot. I had a Bionic before this GS3 and everything was far more difficult or impossible to tweak. That darn locked bootloader.
