app to increase brightness ? - Xperia Play Themes and Apps

hi,is there anyway u can up the brightness level on these phones its up full at the moment but still could do with being a bit brighter

Afaik you have to wait for custom roms to get that up'd
Regards Dousan...
e: maybe its enough with a custom kernel...

Well the screen is not that great on our phone which is why we get around 2 days battery life with average use even I would like the screen to be brighter but it will greatly reduce battery life

Have you tried installing dazzle? This app has some niffty display controls for maxing out the brightness.

it all comes down to the fact SE does not allow us to disable auto brightness so even if you "crank" the brightness you still have to live with auto brightness controlling the brightness while settings 1 2 3 on the power control widget appear to turn it up it is still being controlled to an extent..

Will probably at least take a recompile of the kernel.
An answer to this question is in the Arc section, from SE:
A question on how to disable auto-brightness on Xperia PLAY.
Unfortunately, being able to do this from userspace might be non-functional in the released kernel for Play. The engineering team is aware and it is something they are looking into for future releases, can’t comment if it will be supported though yet.
However, if you’re building your own kernel, you can modify the file arch/arm/mach-msm/board-semc_zeus.c
What you’re looking for is the structure “as3676_platform_data”, where you can change the “als_connected = 1” to “als_connected = 0”.

I'm not sure how this would work, but there is a parameter
in /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds/lcd-backlight/als/ "enable" which by default is set to "1"
Might want to test something like
echo "0" > /sys/devices/i2c-0/0-0040/leds/lcd-backlight/als/enable
You need to be root to do this

yeah doesnt remain after reboot, will add later and see if it works.

CM7 and Touch Key Lights

Is there any way to disable the touch key lights on CM7? I know you can disable them with app or editing the wled file but they will turn back on all the time because CM7 ties the touch key light brightness into the brightness settings. So far its the only thing that is driving me crazy with CM7.

Completely disable, not that I know of.
I know that they reset themselves every time you turn the screen on and off. Out of curiosity, why would you want to turn them off completely? Battery life isn't noticeably better, only on stock because it sets the keys all the way to the highest setting. If you don't have your display set to the highest brightness, you have nothing to worry about with the touch keys.

I dont like them on when im playing games andni just dont need them. I know where the buttons are without the lights on.
You should be able to disable the LED touch lights by doing the following:
1. Settings -> Cyanogenmod Settings -> Display -> Automatic Backlight -> Edit Other Levels
2. Click "Edit other levels..."
3. Under "Buttons" set the four values of "255" to "0"
4. Click "Save & apply"
Although under CyanogenMod 7, as soon as you adjust the brightness the LED touch lights will come back on again, though this is fixed by simply turning your screen off and on again.
I have not used CyanogenMod in a while so this is just off hand and could be wrong.
If you set your screen brightness all the way down, that will change the touch key brightness. If you change to automatic brightness it will keep the key brightness but change the display.

As I said, I have not used CyanogenMod in a while. It was a stab in the dark. However I did some searching around and found this little app in the Play Store that you might want to take a look at. Here
It does exactly what you want. I tested it and I was able to turn the lights off completely and you can set it to enable on boot.

No app can fix this. All the apps do is edit the wled which cyan sets on its own every time you turn the screen off or adjust the brightness. Example: You download an app that adjusts key brightness, you use it to adjust brightness and it works. Now you turn the screen off and on, that adjustment you made is now set back to where cyan had it. Same thing if you edit the wled. This is something that needs to be fix deeper down than an app or editing the wled file. Its something that needs to be edited within cyan it self.

[Request] root brightness control

So, we all know that at the moment one of the main things that kills the battery life is the screen.
I don't know how you feel about it but I think the Z1 is really bright, even when at minimum. If we could lower the brightness beyond the normal controls wouldn't that help with the battery life?

Seconding the Lux Lite vote: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitocassisi.luxlite
With it set to Dynamic and Day, in profile editor change:
Lux - 0 = -55
Luma - 1 = -55
and leave all other variables the same.
That seems to give me a good range of brightness for my eyes - readable in bed with no lights on in the room without waking my partner and full brightness in head on daylight.
Hi, I'm looking for a way to decrease the backlight brightness.
Right now even a full black screen lights up my bedroom and I
have the related slider at the minimum with the adaptive setting

It's physically impossible to reduce the brightness at a Lux of zero beyond what the panel/kernel allow. However you CAN apply a dark filter over the entire screen to simulate the effect of reducing the brightness. This appears to be what Lux Lite and Velis Autobrightness both do.
It works fine for me and when viewing the screen in the dark there is very little light emitted using the settings I stated above. However if you don't make the changes I stated above you won't see the darkening effect.

That's a shame. :\ When my phone is docked it shows a full screen
clock: black background, dark gray digits so any screen filter would
just decrease contrast. I guess I'll need to fix a dark plastic sheet to
the dock to physically cut down the brightness.
I ended up putting a microfiber screen cleaning cloth over the device. It's wrinkle resistant
and big enough so it covers both the front and the back without slipping off. It doesn't look
like it but when near the screen it let's through a surprising amount of light making the
fullscreen clock easily readable. Compatible with all Android versions and doesn't require
rooting.
May I ask, it is possible to dim the three buttons below with Lux?

The kernel allows 4095 brightness steps, I'm not sure what the stock slider does, but I'm pretty sure the lower values aren't even touched.
I started developing a Lux plugin, but ran into a bug with lux itself, I'll try to contact the dev for help.

If u have root
I have created a script to lower my brightness below the actual amount, i didnt use any app from playstore as it actually just placed a black overlay on the screen and the brightness was actually still the same
Well go to my Contributions in my signature and under scripts look at the brightness Adjuster script
Try it
Do not set too low value

[HOW TO] Make your Note 3 screen even brighter for sunlight readability

Are you tired of not being able to read the screen very well when outside under the hot sun? Then you came to the right thread.
Touchwiz Auto Brightness does not need this mod.
However, no brightness functionality in any AOSP ROM is capable of getting as bright as Touchwiz Auto Brightness. Nor can the manual brightness slider of AOSP or Touchwiz.
As I've presented it here, this "app" will enable an extra ~5-10% brightness from your Note 3 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 OLED display in both rooted TouchWiz and AOSP ROM's. If I had to guess, max brightness in manual mode is something like 350'ish nits. And when you enable this mod, it jumps up to something like 600'ish nits?
***While this mod is turned on, you will lose the ability to adjust brightness via the manual-brightness slider. This mod will peg it to the limit of extra brightness until the mod is turned off.
You can leave this extra-brightness mod turned on at all times, but I don't recommend leaving the screen on for more than a minute or two.
DO NOT LEAVE THE SCREEN TURNED ON FOR MORE THAN A MINUTE OR TWO WHEN THE EXTRA-BRIGHTNESS MOD IS ENABLED. IT'LL EVENTUALLY FRY/BURN-IN YOUR OLED DISPLAY IF OVERUSED! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OTHER SIDE-EFFECTS THIS MOD MIGHT CAUSE.
To use the mod, please install the attached apk's. Just open in Root Explorer and install.
When you click the app, it will automatically adjust your brightness.
Click the "Sunlight" app and it'll put your OLED screen into stereoids brightness mode. It basically overdrives all the colors so you can see the screen a little better under direct sunlight conditions.
Click the "Automatic" app and it'll put your OLED screen back into regular auto-brightness mode.
Click the "Manual" app and it'll put your phone back into regular manual-brightness mode.
I think I'm going to learn how to get AutoVoice going with Tasker so I can set up a voice activated command that will enable/disable this brightness mod. Because I have a hard time reading my screen (dark themes) under direct Texas sunlight!!!
If you don't want to install an app, then just make a script. This command will enable the extra-brightness:
Code:
echo 6 > /sys/class/backlight/panel/auto_brightness
If a dev out there can figure out how to enable this mod and not lose adjustability of manual-brightness, that would be freakin sweet. :good:
Many thanks go to @hatcyl because it was his thread over in the Note II subforum that got me pointed in the right direction to figuring out how we can do this on our Note 3.
Edit 1/6/2017
I found my old APK's and uploaded them to one zip.
Just unzip to locate the APK's to install:

Great find! But question.....what's the point for a 1-2 minute feature? I have this feature on my OPO and it does it automatically kernel+ROM wise. But on the N3, having to turn it off after 1-2 minute kills the original purpose, does it not?

Well you can leave it turned on all week long if you want. But I wouldn't leave the screen turned on for more than a few minutes at a time. That's why Samsung didn't add this brightness capability to the manual slider. Stuff gets wonky when the screen is overdriven this hard.
AOSP auto-brightness can't get as bright as TouchWiz auto-brightness. Ideally, a dev would add this mod to the AOSP auto-brightness somehow, so AOSP could get as bright as TouchWiz when needed.
For me, I'll have this turned on when I'm walking my dog during the day, or doing random things outdoors. And that'll be just fine, because the screen won't ever be turned on for more than a few seconds at a time.
Very nice mod, just add a feature to turn it off after a minute, great if you add tasker integration.

The APK's were built using Tasker's App Factory.
For Tasker integration, you simply use the "script" option in Tasker.
Let me know if you have any specific Tasker questions. I"m not a pro, more of a beginner. But I'll try to help.
I'd like to figure out a way so Tasker can tap into the light sensor and automatically pop the extra brightness over certain a certain LUX, then turn it off after that LUX number drops.
How did you beat the brightness levels with tasker and do you mean I have to use intents in tasker?

Ahh, no you ignore the brightness level in Tasker. 255 is the highest that's ever going to go and that's OK.
You simply create a new task, name it, then add action, the action will be "script". Then you add the command and check the box to make it run as root.
The command will be:
Code:
echo 6 > /sys/class/backlight/panel/auto_brightness
Then to turn it off, just toggle auto-brightness in the Android Brightness Options.
Or create another Tasker task using the Display action to turn auto-brightness on.
Hope this helps.

Superuser should prompt you to give Tasker root permissions when you run it. Or it should unless you've already given Tasker root permissions before.
If you're not sure, then open Superuser and see if Tasker is listed as one of hte apps inside it.

Sorry, I don't have any changelog and don't remember the details of this mod.
It's been too long since I made it.

Any apps that can auto disable auto brightness when certain apps open? Maybe Tasker?
I made a simple auto brightness toggle in Tasker when camera app opens and added an exit task. Works OK when indoors, but sometimes you want auto brightness such as if you're outside. Not sure the best way around this.

Maybe edit your task to add a wifi variable? Like if you're not connected to wifi enable the rule, ie you're outside (usually) when not on wifi. And when you are on wifi inside don't trigger the rule, leaving you to adjust manually if desired.

Definately worse that Oreo. The pie stable was just a rushed update
For me, the auto brightness initially was working on the extreme ends on pie, but after constantly adjusting it to suit my needs, adaptive brightness has worked it's magic and now for me works exactly as I'd want it to work.

Do you mean it is an official documented / mentioned feature the fact that leaving adaptive brightness on and still manually correct it, will lead in time to system recognizing your needs and slowly adjust accordingly?

Horrible brightness, time zone changing, bank apps not working, future alarm notifications, awful interface with the info cards and pull down menu notifications, websites loading strange, developer options nested in another settings menu, less options in the settings area, phone dialer button is green... I rolled back to 5.1.11 because of all the hassle.
And yes, I have bug reports and yes, I even tried it with a full wipe and fresh flash of 9.0. Between Google's design choices and the bugs, Pie is awful.
It has always been really bad for me.... Too dark all the time.... it doesn't really respond accurately and fast enough....

Do you mean it is an official documented / mentioned feature the fact that leaving adaptive brightness on and still manually correct it, will lead in time to system recognizing your needs and slowly adjust accordingly?
Or is it something we're just guessing?

WTF ls the point have having Auto brightness if you need to set it manually for a little while? This is just a bad excuse for a poorly see everyone's feature. Nobothern9honebhas this issue and even on Oreo it wasn't an issue

Go and read about it, ask google. I think now its called adaptive auto brightbess or smntg like that, just use it adjusting just will help it for auto feature to give the best screen brightness. Not everyone sees the same in the same light conditions. So this new adaptive brightness in pie is aiming to that. By adjusting it to your needs how u see it better in different light conditions it just helps phone to learn about everyones different vision/seeing levels.
But it just my opinionl

I have read about it and apparently it's a WIP. Doesn't make sense to put a WIP feature in a stable build. Don't get me wrong I love the OP6 and the pie release is ok but it was very much rushed out. They should have taken there time and released a pie build that was perfect. Beta builds should be used to make changes and fixes.
