Change auto-brightness to be useful?

Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust the "auto-brightness" so that it is a notch or two brighter than it is now? Currently, unless it's very bright where I am, the brightness stays at the lowest level.... I would like to use the auto-brightness, but it's just "calibrated" too dimly for my tastes... Surely there is some file that we can edit to change the brightness levels, etc...
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

In case anyone else is interested, I found a solution to my auto-brightness issues... The solution is a $0.99 app called "Lux (Beta)". While it is still in beta, it works great - I can adjust exactly how bright the screen should be relative to the lux value from teh light sensor (plus much more!). As of right now, I'd highly recommend this app! It will even use the camera to determine the light level if the lux value isn't returned properly from the light sensor!

Hey jtrosky, I'm the developer of Lux. I'm glad you're liking the app! If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask!

hi
great site

I have never used auto brightness on any device. I always adjust it manually. I have found the auto brightness annoying and it drains my battery. I usually just set it as low as I can stand it. This lux thing found intriguing to me though. Thanks for the heads up on that. If auto brightness had a native way to set it for certain environments it may be useful, but the constant changing of brightness will drain the battery imo.

thanks for the tip on Lux...it seems like a great little ap!

I find that the auto-brightness is also too low for my taste in low light environments. Might give a try to the lux app. thanks for the info
Something that would be nice is also to be able to dim the screen based on battery level, like for example being able to set the different levels in cpu tuner would be great to try to save battery automatically

I thought light sensor was not working on my TF. Thanks, Will take a shot at using Lux.

Just a quick follow-up... Still using Lux and it's been working perfectly... I love it. I wasted a few dollars on a few other supposed "auto-brightness" apps before I tried Lux (I was initially put off by the beta status of Lux), but none of the other apps worked properly or did what I wanted, so I tried Lux - Lux is by far the best out there now - check it out for $.99...
I'm still not quite sure I understand all of the options, etc though.... Even the four icons on the main interface - can the author please describe what each one does?
Thanks!

No problem!
(I'll bold the app name Lux so you don't get confused with the unit of illuminance, lux. )
The first button merely re-acquires the lux reading, if for whatever reason you want a new value. This is handy if you want to use Lux as a light meter, or if for some reason your light sensor decides to return incorrect data.
The second button is the 'link' button. Basically, pressing this button links the display backlight value (as determined by the brightness slider) to the current lux/luma reading. This link tells Lux that you want to set the backlight to that brightness when the lux is that value. So whenever Lux adjusts the brightness too dim or too bright, you just adjust the slider then 'link' it to the current lux value, and Lux then learns to use that brightness. Also note that Lux will interpolate these linked values (aka 'linked samples') so you don't have to do much linking at all.
The third button is astronomer mode. This saturates the display in a red colour, to make the otherwise harsh white light of the display easier to look at in low light. Astronomers are known to cover their phones in red cellophane to achieve this, and thus stop their eyes from adjusting from the dark environment to a bright phone.
The last button is where all the settings lie. Each setting has a description which should explain its function. To save me writing out pages of explanation, just let me know if you need help with a particular setting.
Hopefully that all makes sense.
Oh, and also, you may find the apps FAQ helpful. It's based on an older UI though.

Perfect! Thanks for the descriptions (I NEVER would have figured out that the hell the third button was suppsed to do!!).
I'm still playing around with all of the options... One possible enhancement - maybe allow the user to specify special brightness values for when the battery level is below certain thresholds.... This would help to automatically conserve battery life when the battery starts getting low....
Thanks again - it's been working great!

I've been meaning to add something like that. Will look into it.

Oh no - I've run into a pretty major issue with Lux - it seems that after I install and add the Lux widget, I can then no longer install any apps! When the app installer runs, the "Install" button is simply not selectable! As soon as I uninstall Lux, I can then install apps again. Just installing Lux doesn't break the app installer - the app installer doesn't break until the widget is added to the home screen. At that point, I have to un-install Lux to install any further apps....
Any ideas???
Thanks!
EDIT - I'm able to install apps from the Market, but not from .apk files (yes, I have 'Other sources' turned on).... Strange.... Hopefully, the dev can re-produce and fix this.

You could simply be out of space. Have you tried looking? Don't mean to be mean or anything, but I've done that plenty of times on my D1
EDIT: Nevermind, I read that wrong.

@Cyb3rGlitch - Is there any way to see what current brightness/lux values that you have currently defined? I'd like to be able to review the values I've stored with the option to remove certain "samples"....If that makes any sense.... App oes work good though - just need to figure out the issues that casues me to not be able to load .apk files anymore (manually)! Market apps still install ok.

Hiya,
This app sounds useful! One issue I had was that in a no-light situation, I find the screen far too bright. Astronomer mode sounds like the fix implemented in Lux to deal with that; I don't suppose the screen brightness can be further reduced in an attempt to preserve more battery life in these situations?
I have an app which adds a semi-transparent layer on top of the image, making it darker, but it would not conserve battery life as its just beaming out darker coloured pixels, rather than reducing the brightness of them.

Actully, Lux allows you to lower the brightness to below the normal "lowest" setting as well, so it should do exactly what you want.... Well worth the $1 it costs!

Odd, I'll look into it. It's probably related to the issue some users are having with gmail. Unfortunately it's one of those issues that only a few people seem to have, so it's hard to reproduce.

You can see the linked samples by backing up the profiles to your SD card and then opening the file in a text editor. A sample editor is on my todo list, but really, you don't need one - Lux handles that for you.

Lux has a sub-zero mode which does this.

App to adjust colors?

Looking for an app/tweak/hack/kernel tuner/xposed module or whatever to adjust display colors. Franco's Color Controls only seem to adjust the high mids, and I need more control over mid-range and the tints of the gray-scale range.
Specifically, my display is orange-tinted from the low-mids to the mid-highlights. I need to make grays more neutral any color in the midrange less orange.

Disregard this comment.

.psd said:
I'm so confused... I have Busybox and Trinity Kernel installed as well as purchased the trinity kernel tuner, and the color settings aren't listed under "tunables" like it shows on the play store. Also the Trickster Mod kernel tuner doesn't list color options. Neither Trickster nor Trinity tuners list color options on Franco Kernel or Trinity Kernel.
What do I have to do in order to tweak the colors? This yellow-tinted display is messing with my eyes :/

trickster mod only shows and supports whats available in the kernel, the trickster app does absolutely nothing on its own. and trinity doesnt include color control.. yet. and tkt app diesnt support color control at the moment either.

Thanks for the help. Turns out Trinity color control was for Nexus 4 only.
Well, do you have any idea what DOES work for color adjustment on the Nexus 5?

You sure? I was using Franco Kernel and bought his FKU and it doesn't seem to have any profiles. It does have minimal and incredibly confusing settings to adjust gamma, but there's no explanation of what the settings do or how to use them, and from my trial and error it seems the settings only adjust the brightest color ranges (highlights and mid-highs). I made a thread about it. I'm very interested in finding a way to fix my displays colors...
EDIT: ok so I just found an app by Franco called Nexus Display Control. Will report back if it helps with my situation.

Sure man, go into the FKU app and choose color control and choose load a color profile and pick one. I liked Vomer_balanced a lot.

There are literally no profiles to load. Furthermore, that Nexus Display Control app is literally just Color Control module from FKU, which itself is only some miscelaneous gamma settings — far from full color control like it shows in the play store...
Is something wrong with my device? Am I doing something wrong? There's so much more to color control (as demonstrated by Franco's own pictures for his app in the play store) than a mere few gamma settings, so what gives? As I pointed out in the thread I made for FKU's color control, the negative and positive settings both seem to do exactly the same thing, and none of them affect anything besides highlights and high mids. I've been working on this since yesterday with the slowest internet connection of all time, I'm pulling my hair out trying to get to the bottom of this...

You're exactly right! I thought that was the description of the popup, I never would have thought it was a button, wow... Thanks!
Ok so I guess what it comes down to is whether you (or anyone) knows how to access the rest of the color controls other than the miscellaneous gamma controls? For example, as depicted in the play store?

Ok well thank you! Vomer_balanced seems to have neutralized my display quite nicely, but I'll probably play around quite a bit over the next few days. Hopefully others will contribute to the thread I made so we can make sense of the controls, and it would be really nice if someone found out how to access the rest of the color controls like it shows in the play store.
Again, thanks!

updated to Oreo, menus now white, how do i get them dark again?

It seems they are now inverted from before the update. When I hit invert, the menus look correct, but the rest of the stuff is messed up, so that doesn't work.
How can I get my dark menus back without ruining the colors of everything else?
To clarify, I'm referring to the menus in settings and when I swipe down from the home screen.
Google pixel, Android 8.0, stock

yeah, that's Oreo's default theme. Lots of white. So what you are seeing is entirely expected and normal.... inverting the colors affects everything...
If you want to theme Oreo, you can do so, but you will need to be routed and install 'substratum' found in the play store... Oreo supports theming, but I think for now, you must be rooted (although, last I heard there should be a paid app available soon that doesn't require root)...
Also, there are lots of Oreo compatible themes for substratum, available in the play store.... I'm using a dark / pure black theme. Love it.
Good luck

You can try Substratum and Swift Dark/Black Theme

I still have this problem. It would be nice if Textra fixed the issue. If you go to Customize Look -> Screen Color -> Light, then the menu appears white with dark text.
But if you choose Dark or Black, then it's white with very light text.

Why can't Google just provide a setting to let us to choose either a light or a dark background for the menus? I don't want to root and I'm not going to buy a theme app. I don't want to "theme" anything else. I just want a toggle to choose either light grey or dark grey settings screens. Simple enough.

I'm sure they will down the line. theming/OMS is still very new in AOSP and stock Oreo and AFAIK, they are still ironing out support and their own dark theme...
if you don't want to root or pay a Buck or two to a hard working theme developer, than you are S.O.L.
If it is simple enough, feel free to write the supporting code and contribute to AOSP.... complaining in am XDA forum isn't going to make that support appear for u.

It's back on 8.1. If you have a black wallpaper it will detect this and theme everything dark. Download the developer image from Google. You can root it too, with a working SUhide.

My settings menu didn't go dark. Just the Google App and the notification pane. And Swift Dark is not quite there yet on 8.1

Oreo update HORRIBLE, knew in 2 seconds I would hate it when my notifications section turned to white background (you suck google) then noticed all kinds of thinks I didn't like. Apple updates made my phone worse EVERYTIME and now google is doing that. Simple stuff like changing background colors GONE and worthless stuff added to hug up the phone. Had my Moto for 3 weeks, first 2 weeks liked it, updated to moto oreo and now DON't like it anymore. I just wanted security patches not my OS screwed and ALL my setting gone, and why is this clock showing up again. all my setting which took forever to figure out and now reset back to what i didn't like, then add the horrible WHITE background garbage like the notoication window. I didn't want my nice UI screwed up. So I learned that like APPLE every Andriod update will be worse TOO. sad, don't like my new phone anymore, thanks for updating it to GARBAGE.

Hey!
I will pay! I will pay a developer! What apps do this?! I will buy them in a heartbeat. I am just as frustrated as OP and some other posters in this thread.
I AM NOT ROOTED ON AN HTC 10.
I spent all morning on a deep dive in the Play Store tinkering and installing several apps, and none of them addressed the actual issue of allowing the user to choose the color of the notification shade. I can't stand the white either.
Please help.

Andromeda, it's on the app store and also probably easy to find on here. Sorry I don't have a link at the moment, I'm on mobile. But the app is about 2 dollars and works great on my Moto z2 force.
Keep in mind you will need a laptop and some basic knowledge of turning on usb debugging in developer settings. It will need to be a Linux/Mac/Windows computer. Chromebooks are not supported as far as I know at this point.
See the xda thread for more details. Find it by looking up "Andromeda xda" on your favorite search engine of choice.

I went through that whole process this morning also. I kept getting a "run shell script" error with my Mac. It's real frustrating. I didn't want to do it, but I gave it my best shot, and I followed all the videos and directions, but no one knows what to do if "run shell script" error comes up.
Didn't work out I guess. But I gave it a shot. Still is so much to do just for the option to make an eff-ing black notification shade.

I have a few I've used that are unmistakably dark.
I think the reason is because I use Nova Prime as my launcher, so the themes aren't going to pick up on that and thus change the color of the notification shade.

Yes I too I'm pissed off at this new Oreo white look I like the look of my old build WTF why can't Google give us a choice why can't we theme just the God damn color I'm really pissed off now.

I'm so pissed off as well, can't get menus and title bars or even pop-up menus to be black. It was fine back on nougat 7.0
Now it's all white

I dont mind the Oreo update but like so many I hate hate hateeeeeeee the stupid status bar, its white. I wish they allowed up to change the color on the status bar like we can for the AOD clock. I have a background of nature and the sun is up there and I cannot read the clock, battery, connection status etc because its invisible on the wallpaper and I have a theme. I tried to use Andromada but it looks so confusing to use and you have to pay for it and the feedback from the public is bad

**** google for this. YOU HEAR ME??? **** YOU GOOGLE! YOU SUCK! FORCING WHITE BACKGROUND SCREENS ON US! MY EYES HURT... I"M GONNA CONTACT MY LAWYER!!

[APP] [4.4+] Habitify - Habit Tracker for Devs

Since 2016, I have been developing a habit tracker because I saw there were many theoretical books but there were not so many tools to help us get started.
What is Habitify?
Habitify is a multi-platform habit tracker aimed at helping people form, track and measure new habits.
Why is Habitify "for Devs"?
After many interviews with my users, I came to realize Habitify is used mostly by devs, engineers or designers. The pain point of devs is sitting all day at the screen and forgetting to do important habits such as working out, drinking water or meditating. So I focus on tweaking Habitify to match devs' preference:
- Habitify is available on both mobiles, laptops, and watches, so technically it can remind devs wherever they are, whenever they want.
- I have integrated X-callback for automation purpose.
- I also simplify the design and make it tap-and-go. Devs are busy, so am I
Download
You can check the app on habitify.me or download Habitify on the Google Play Store. As I'm a newbie I cannot put the direct link here... so sorry about that.
Since I'm new to Android (been an iOS dev as a starter), I'm not sure if the app's design and function have this "Material Design" feeling, so can you guys share your thoughts and feedback? I just discovered Xda and I believe this is a good learning curve for me.
I'm happy to provide the Premium version if anyone is interested.

Hey mate!
I really like the app you've created. Im not a dev or a designer, but i use it for my personal stuff.
I really really love using the app, It has all the stuff neatly laid out and it does correspond to material design but still has a bit of the iOS flair.
I think you have just ported this app from iOS becuase the i've seen mentions of iTunes in the app.
If you fix these bugs, i think this will be a great app.
A small suggestion too - Create an AMOLED theme and maybe charge for that? Dark theme is really essential these days and i dont think it must be pay to use.

Hey mate!
Hey mate,
Thanks for your feedback! Yeah, I port the app from iOS and since the app does exist on other platforms, I decided to leave iTunes there.
What do you mean by the Amoled theme? Is it different from the dark theme the app already has? If it's that important then we should charge for it, right?

Dark theme is where apps choose a darker color palette like yours does. The dark Blue shade.
Amoled theme is having a pure black color scheme. Everything menu, submenu in black.
I said it because, many apps in android have a basic dark theme and pay to use AMOLED theme.

Ah I see. But why should we focus on Amoled theme instead of Dark Blue? What if the Dark Blue looks better on some specific apps?

It does yes.
But AMOLED themes help have that consistency that people love to have on their phone.

I love your new app and I would like to have a promo code if it is possible to discover all the possibilities of the application

Anyway to petition to Google to NOT completely remove option for pitched black theme?

I swear Google may lose a crap load of customers if they completely remove this feature! At least keep the option of the two( greyish and pitched black) I understand the reasoning behind this but damn everybody is freaking different they shouldn't pull an apple unify their users like this. Come on Google!

Google cares only about change... forcing their crap down your throat.
And mining your data.

Personally, I like the change. Pitch black just looks hideous

There should definitely be options. The latest A12 dark mode theme color looks terrible in settings.. It's not TOO bad elsewhere I guess. I would absolutely sign a petition for that lol. And another one to bring back app suggestions in recents.

You should be able to control the black/grey/color gradient rather than have one size fits all jammed down you're throat.
Pure black can goof up web pages and make check boxes etc invisible.
A dark gradient uses only slightly more power; a negligible increase. My wallpaper is a very dark gradient with a very slight color accent to offset my icon pack.
I always wuved Kitkat's dark theme.
Google has rocks for brains; give them enough time and they will screw up everything.

I was agreeing in part with you.
Hopefully you're better at coding...

I'm not lol. Wasn't being an ass. Meant it as sarcasm. I know you were partly agreeing.
My operating system would be so full of bugs it would make covid look good.

I think a few dark options would be coowl! It is all about options. All else fails least we have an option to install a custom AOSP rom and use the theme manager settings in it to tweak colors.

How about full color control?
Big sister Google is a runt...

I just wish there was unity within the system. There's wayyyyyyyy too many different shades of a color being used throughout the OS.

Samsung is the best for stock custom themes.
I use one of their "high contrast theme" that locks in the messaging, phone screens as well as the keyboard colors.
Add a free icon pack from the Galaxy Store, then my own wallpaper, enable dark mode, and add the Good Lock family of mods. I use the home screen folder options and add my favorite Digi Clock widget.
It doesn't even resemble the stock phone and still uses the fast, efficient, extremely stable stock One UI launcher.
Apples make me want to puke, alternating with boredom and horror.
"But Debbie, pastels?!" No.
No material design crap drab here

I was planning on getting the S21 Ultra, but now I'm not sure. I don't have much faith in Google and their next Pixel, lol.
Android is everywhere right now.

No SD card ie data drive... a deal killer for me.
The 20U looks a lot better to me or the 10+ which is running on Pie. Q is not any upgrade to Pie and 11 certainly is not.
I wuv my N10+, fast, very stable and just fun to use even after a year and a half. Samsung and Google gave me very little incentive to leave this platform... so I won't.
Google dropped the ball and so did Sammy, perfect.

I definitely miss the theming store for Samsung. You can change the entire look. It's sad that Google, the creator of the 'customizable' OS doesn't have anything like that. At least without a 3rd party launcher and/or root.

I've tried a couple of 3rd party launchers but none were as good as the stock One UI.
Lol, one of those boot looped me twice, 2 back to back factory resets.
Without the Samsung mods I wouldn't be pleased at all.
Google is more like Apple anymore it seems☠
