does anyone know if its possible to adjust the back light dimmer lower than stock. I have tried the various programs that shade the LCD to make it seem dimmer, but they don't work the way I like. I want to use my xoom as a night clock, but unfortunately I can't get it dim enough. My Sony alarm clock has an LCD display that dims the back light in night mode to where you can barley see it. But in a dark room its perfect. All the other programs available just shade the LCD, but you can see the back light seep through and it keeps me awake. If anyone has a solution that can work on my xoom I would be grateful.
Thanks

You could try the app Screen Filter from the market. It allows you to set a %.

I just flashed the final beta of CM7 to my triumph, and idk if everybody is having this problem my soft keys are flashing/flickering when i move the phone. It's not physically they are flickering because of the way the light reaches your eyes.
No way to explain it really, when you hold the phone still it's good.
I believe this is because the soft keys brightness is not high enough.
Anybody find a way to fix this,
Thankss in advance.//
I have he same thing, but not sure how to fix it.
It's a 'feature' to reduce the brightness on the softkey LEDs. By default they're turned on full brightness, and it can have light leaks that affect a dark screen on some people's phones. You can just turn it off with an app like 'adjbrightness', 'keyboard backlight control', or in CM settings - display - auto backlight - use custom & edit other levels.

If you could explain a little more of what to change on that screen it would be much appreciated. There are so many values to change that it is a bit overwhelming to me.
In the "Edit other levels", the left column is what the light sensor readings are for a certain light level, the next column is the display backlight that should be used in those situations, the right most column is what brightness the bottom capacitive buttons should be at. Set it to 0 to be off, 255 for max. Try some different values to see what suits you.
Awesome! Thank you!
Hi, im wondering if anyone has succesfully edited files in sys/class/leds to increase the notification led brightness? I have a white d838 and the led is only half as bright as my previous white G2 D802..
Thanks in advance
Try installing LED manager apps like "Light Manager", "Light Flow". They can also set brightness for LED.
Or if these won't work, just wait a few weeks. We already have a proper recovery (CWM), not long 'til we have custom kernels. Those can also set LED brightness.
(By the way my G Pro2 is MUCH brighter than my S3 was. Let alone HTC's dumb tiny micro-led on top.)
screen brightness repeatedly changing itself in constant light conditions, bug or feature?

Is it possible your obscuring the light with your hand or fingers causing the phone to constantly adjust to what it thinks is changing light conditions?

its possible, if the sensor is on the bottom bezel. never had this issue w/ my n4,5,5x, or p1 though.
My problem is more that the brightness doesn't adjust itself enough. If I'm on auto-brightness and in a pitch black room, my phone blinds me because it doesn't adjust.
What is everyone else using for display settings? I've enabled 'Adaptive brightness' but it's doesn't adjust very well. I prefer not to have to go to something 3rd party like Lux.
Mine micro adjusts in a dark room it's not terrible but it's enough to be annoying while reading because it grabs your attention. More noticeable on white backgrounds.
Here's my only problem with this watch : The active display is beautiful, bright, colorful, great to look at. Wish I could look down at my watch and see it everytime but I can't - it flips to AOD display no matter what.
I can live with that, but I'd like to make the 'inactive' display or the 'AOD' display brighter than it is. I have not found any way to do this.
Is there an app or a rooted modification to make this brighter? I don't need the active display on all the time, just want the 'inactive' display to be brighter so I don't have to squint at my watch during the day.
Does anyone have a solution?
Disable the "Low light" auto and AOD stay visible correctly.
I have "Auto low brightness" set to "off" but the AOD brightness still goes down to a level 1 brightness and is very difficult to see. I'd like to see it at a 4-5. Are there no rooted mods or anything that can fix this?
Yes, we must have at least brightness to 4 to see properly AOD. But if "Auto low brightness" is ON even at 6 is it dark with dark light.
I tried setting it to 10 while keeping "auto low brightness" OFF - but the AOD brightness is still too dim. I wish there was a way to change this.
I don't know of any way to do this for native watchfaces. However, Watchmaker allows you to customise the AOD to your specification. I have a Fortis watchface I downloaded and customised that the AOD just hides some complications and is fully visible. Yes, it does drain battery quicker but still lasts the day...
I gave Watchface a try and although you can customize much more, after setting the dimmer brightness to 40% (which was the max) it still looked just as dim, if not more, than the default Galaxy AOD display. I guess I'm the only one with this complaint - I work in a bright environment.
same here.. aod is way too dim. There should be an option to change the brightness of that even if it does use a little more battery.. There seems to be 2 different brightness settings with the aod that automatically adjust between the two but turning off Auto low brightness doesn't seem to make any difference. The point of having aod is so we can use it like a normal watch.. but as it is now it's almost pointless.. hope samsung fixes this in a future update.. but unlikely.. I use watchmaker but can't find the option to adjust the aod.. any ideas???
On my Galaxy Watch 42mm I use AOD Clock, it's an app not a watchface, but stays always on very bright and it seems to be moving slightly (amoled friendly?). But uses a lot of battery.
Any way to increase that tiny led light? It almost got no benefit. Or any apps to add a notification light on screen such as around the camera cutout ?
Thanks

Find the option for turn on the screen when notification came.
Your request will work better if the screen is OLED with AOD.
LCD screen use more power when the screen is turned on. It's not possible to partially turned on. (At least haven't seen that ability on LCD screen)
