[Q] Camera brightness issue Gingerbread - General Questions and Answers

I am having this issue using the camera app on my Sense 3.0 ROM for the Evo.
I've noticed this on all Gingerbread based ROMs.
The camera app does this thing where it increases the brightness upon clicking on the app, and reduces it after exiting.
This is problematic for me, because I am a college student who uses my phone to take pictures of presentations in class. It is distracting for other students, especially in a dimly lit PowerPoint setting, to see a bright phone lifted up so that I can take a picture.
There are already enough idiots out there with their Macs on full brightness, I don't want to be part of that problem.

Same thing happens to my Desire : screen goes full bright when in Camera.

I have tried digging in the camera settings to see if there is a way to turn it off, but I cannot seem to do so.
Do you know of any way to turn that off.
I'm sure this is helpful when you are outdoors and suddenly need to grab a picture, but it isn't in my case.

It's not an issue it's built in to Gingerbread, just like the TV off animation...Google probably figured you'll need max brightness to use the cam, to help with viewing the screen. There's nothing you can do, if you change the brightness in settings, it doesn't change the cam setting.

But you can turn off animations if you want to.

Yeah, but the camera thing can't be toggled, perhaps you can ask a dev to take a look into the source code, there should be information on how to change the brightness there.

LOL, I don't have enough posts to post in a dev thread.

LED camera light work like an actual camera flash?

I used to have a BB curve that also had a camera LED but it worked like a flash when I hit the button to take the picture the LED would automatically flash to take the pic..it's annoying that on my Fuze I have to manually turn on/off the led light..I was wondering if there's some software or a patch that will make the camera LED behave in this manner?
no. cannot.
it's trying to replace sun light with a match
a led is many times weaker then a real flash
which would temp blind you if it was on all the time
and you looked into it
where a led is more like whats your computer, tv, dvdplayer or the likes
got just a bit stronger but not more then 80 lumen
where a real flash can have about 5000 lumen
so sure one can program the led "flash" to turn on and close like a real
flash does but it would give no effect

euklid, I am with you. My nokia use to do that. It is a horrible design and pain to have to turn the light on each time to use it. It is the same type of light set up in my nokia as on the fuze, just that nokia knew how to use it properly. It is funny with all the mods available for the Fuze, I would have thought that would have been the first thing somebody changed. And, I thought I was the only person this aggrevated the sh!t out of.....

I don't want it as bright as a real flash of course..but the Blackberry curve has an LED also and it works well as a "flash"..the brightness of the LED the Fuze has now when u take the picture is fine for most cases, I've tested taking a few pics in a dark room and they come out decent..my point is that why is there no auto setting..so the LED goes from OFF to its max brightness as soon as you press the button to take the picture and then shut off automatically after pic is taken..a feature that the BB curve and some other phones have..I wish someone would make a mod to the camera software to do this..couldn't you use the Fuze's light sensor to determine if a flash is needed or not..
I suppose it would be possible but don't really see how one could do it with the existing software without having the source-code people would have to trail and error using a sex editor
one thing is to use a hex editor to alter stuff already in the code but to add new stuff like tieing the led to the capture itself not sure how much work it would be to change the cam app sounds like a great deal
about using the light sensor then sure but could be misleading as
the light sensor is facing the opposite direction
Any news on this? Has anyone tried to write a patch or program? Any reg hacks? I'm desperate!
No use for it.
As said before by one of us....
A real camera have better sync when taking a shot and opening flash.
Think. Our phones have a delay that is not controlled and varies depending on the auto focus and light condition, that is why they set it to be on before taking the shot.
Maybe we will see a complete PPC from HTC soon, today already exist the technology to have more than 5 MP camera with a decent flash, maybe the TouchPro 3 will have it, that is why I will stick with my Fuze unless I have to forcefully buy a new device like the TP2 in order to deduct it from my Taxes. Lets see.
Hi:
Since it is not possible for the light to flash automatically, is there any way to set it to always on (while in camera mode of course), so it does not have to be turned on each time I use the camera (I pretty much use it while out with friends in the evening, so it's pretty much always dark)?
Thanks!
Problem with that.

As far as I know.... the reason that is not set to always on is because you may damage the LED if you keep it on for a long time or X-period of time, but there is an application(hTorch) that lets you use the LED as a Flashlight, I already try to have both the camera and hTorch open at the same time and the camera failed to open. Any way when you use hTorch for too long the light start flickering.

Oh, I think I did not explain myself correctly. I don't want the light ALWAYS on. And, I do use Htorch for when I need a flashlight. What I guess I should have said is in camera mode, there is a setting to turn on the light. Is there a way for this to be activated every time the camera is opened? Not as a flash per say, just as the default setting for the light?
Thanks!

[APP] SuperDim

RootDim (formerly known as ScreenDim) lets you set the screen brightness on backlit screens below what the OS normally allows, which is handy for amateur astronomy where the lowest normal OS backlight setting (even with a red nightmode) leaks enough through the black pixels to damage night vision. Moreover, SuperDim lets have several brightness profiles, and to include nightmode settings (enabled by ChainFire3D or Cyanogenmod's render fx) as part of the brightness profile.
Needs root.
Public domain, source code available. In Market (search for RootDim).
Now in Market (free, no ads).
I just uploaded version 1.10, which restores low brightness settings after the screen is turned off and back on (the OS normally was restoring its brighter screen).
Works well, but seems to mess with the functionality of the notification/charge LED (Nexus One, CM7.1)

I assume this is when you use the other lights option to toggle these lights, or when you restore a profile, right?
In version 1.11 (just uploaded), I no longer restore other lights when a profile is loaded--this should help with your problem, as long as you don't touch the other lights. Eventually, I may add an option to choose which lights get restored from a profile.
I originally made SuperDim for setting very low backlight settings on LCDs, and so I made it not work on non-LCD screens (e.g., OLED). But I've since realized that the profile feature might be useful for non-LCD users as well, so I've released version 1.20 that supports non-LCD screens. It's in Market. While I was at it, I cleaned up the code a little, made it more javaish (I'm new to java).
My MyTouch 4G just seems to turn the screen off totally if i go below 20 brightness, it dims but then shuts off.
Doesn't work at all with Dell Streak 5
I'm sorry to say, but Screen Filter does the same, but doesn't require root.

Actually, all Screen Filter does is dim the colour of the pixels. This app actually modifies the screen backlight level. E.g. Screen Filter just makes the screen gray-er.
Also, works good on Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, but the backlight completly switches of when set to under 15.

Screen filter merely adds a black semi-transparent overlay across the screen, making it look dimmer.
This app adjusts the backlight, which means darker black levels on the screen.

Your eyes would probably care if you were doing amateur astronomy under a dark sky (which is the primary purpose for SuperDim). Screen Filter doesn't turn down the backlight, and on a lot of devices there is enough backlight leaking through even completely black pixels to damage night vision. You can try this experiment. Turn a backlit device to a completely black screen (maybe view a black jpg) and take it to a completely dark room. Let your eyes dark adapt. The "black" screen will in fact probably be quite grey. (If it's really black, that's probably because you have an OLED device.)
When I do amateur astronomy, I am not infrequently looking to see objects way dimmer than backlit black pixels.
I'd like to do something about the screen turning completely off issue.
To that end, I need people to do some experiments for me, and I will be very grateful (I'll also give a free full version of Force2SD as compensation for the first couple of experimenters, if you want it--just email me). The first experiment is this. Download SuperDim 1.22, now up in the Market. Press the menu key, and choose "Turn on safe mode" (you can tell safe mode is on, because next time you pull up the menu, it says "Turn off safe mode"). Now, turn brightness down to 10. Does your screen turn off?
I should warn that very low brightness levels can be very low indeed. For instance, if I am outdoors on a sunny day, I have trouble telling the difference between brightness 4 and off. So you need to be in a dark area--I recommend a room without windows and with the lights off.
If the screen does not turn off at 10, turn it down to 5, and then 1. Let me know if it ever turns off.
I am guessing that in safe mode, it doesn't turn off at all.
What safe mode does is it makes very low brightness settings not persist. So if you are in safe mode and leave SuperDim, you lose your low brightness setting.
I'd also appreciate it if people who can normally turn their brightness down to 1 could do some experiments with safe mode. Specifically, I'd like to know if moving the slider to 1 in safe mode has the same effect on screen brightness as moving the slider to 1 in non-safe mode has. (Again, if you're one of the first few experimenters and want a free copy of Force2SD, email me.)
On my Archos 43, brightness 1 is very, very dim, but the screen is still on. And I can't tell the difference between safe mode and non-safe mode, except that in safe mode, the settings don't persist after I leave SuperDim.
Tried this app on my desire HD.
Great idea, but when I reach 10 and below, the backlight doesn't get lower.
If I use the adb method (don't remember the command), I can set the backlight manually all the way down to 0.
There is no difference with or without safe mode on.

What happens? And does safe mode work?
I agree, doesn't work with Desire HD/Inspire 4G, safe mode only dims the brightness but no lower than normal, and only dims the brightness on the screen, regardless of your settings

I found a bug. In fact, the bug is such that I have no idea how it was managing to work on my device at all! In any case, I think I fixed it. Try 1.23 (should be in Market or here) and see if it does the job. If not, I have some more ideas.

[REQ] CM7 auto brightness customization

CM7 is a great ROM but for me, Sense roms have more advantages on the evo. One of the advantages of CM7 is the ability to completely customize the auto brightness function. When I ran CM7 nightlies I spent about an hour dimming the lights to program it perfectly. When you're in a dark room you don't want to pull your phone out of your pocket and blind everyone around you. When you're out in the sun, you want to be able to actually see the screen. Unfortunately, it seems like the sense auto brightness does a horrible job of getting the phone really dim in the dark and doesn't react quick enough in the sun. There are so many widgets out there for people to quickly adjust their screen brightness because the auto isn't good enough. This is ridiculous! The evo 4G is capable of having the perfect auto-brightness. We shouldn't have to be stumbling to click on a widget to self adjust the brightness.
I've searched all over the interwebs and nothing like this exists for non-CM7 Android devices. Someone please either port the CM7 auto brightness customization settings or create an app!!! Something similar to the old school Lumens app from Windows Mobile. You would be a hero to many.
Also, I would love to do this but I have zero programming skills.
I created an app that does this exactly (it's in beta at the moment):
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.vito.lux
How well it performs depends on how good the light sensor on your device is. The app does have data filtering to try and get better readings from bad sensors, though.

Just installed CM7.1.0 and haven't yet found all the settings but stumbled upon some good ones already. A brightness one would be great because I would LOVE for my phone to go brighter in direct sunlight and dimmer in controlled areas and in the dark. I want to tweak mine as you described. Is this in the Cyanogenmod settings within the Menu->Settings menu or is it somewhere else?

Yeah, and look for auto, and 'other' there is awesome control in there. You can even control how bright your capacitive buttons light up, and what level of light they respond to.
Really nice feature.
To the poster who is working on this, I'll def be having a look. Thanks.

Screen dimming app.

If any of you other users out there feel that the whites on this thing are too awesome for super late at night like I do, I found a app when searching for a f.lux type alternative for android. I have been using this app to help ease the stress on my eye late at night. I dont know about the techical side of what it does, or any of the jargon involved, but it applies a filter of sorts to dim the screen further than what the phone allows. I been using it a lot lately and figure I would share with you guys. If anyone has any recommendations for other similar apps, please share.

Or just turn on "Background Color" in Power Saving Settings.
Or if you want the screen brightness itself to be lower than what most ROMs allow, you can use this app called RootDim. It worked amazing on my xoom, not sure if it works on the SGSIII yet..
It requires root though..

Screen filter does the same and doesn't require root. On our AMOLED screens this can save battery.
Also you can turn off those damn capacitive key lights by going to Settings>display>"touch Key light duration"> Always off.
I can confirm that Root dim does work for the SGS3 I use it on my phone.

Lux is an amazing auto brightness app and setting it up for your tastes is incredibly simple.
Go out in the sun and turn brightness up all the way using the app then "link" that setting, go in complete darkness and set it to your taste and link it, then indoor lighting, set it, link it. It then uses just those 3 settings to create a smooth graph of brightness values that are all perfect. You can have as many links as you want but i find the less settings you put in that app the better.
I tried all the suggested ones in here btw.

I've tried and really like Lux (in fact I'm considering purchasing it soon) but I've noticed two issues. First is that sometimes it will not refresh itself and I have to open up the lux dash to get the brightness to change. It doesn't happen often, but it happens often enough to be annoying, and I have it set to automatically.
Also, (and this may simply be an issue with the S3 and not lux itself) but sometimes I will be in a decently lit room and be at 1 lux, while lights out is 0. Not a lot of variance unless it's really bright outside. Have you found anyway to increase the light sensors sensitivity?

Try setting it to be always active in the task bar, that prevents it from being killed. Also try setting it to not use raw values for light sensor readings, this gives you a simple scale of 0-10 for readings and total darkness always reads as 0.
Edit: oops reread your post. That's weird that it is reading indoor light at 1. I usually get around 2 or 3. I used to have a screen protector on that covered the light sensor and that put it all over the place. Maybe that is what's causing it?

I noticed the same behavior with the free version. In my case, the lowest value the HTC Desire S can reach with its default Android auto brightness is in fact about 15%.
In LUX settings you can configure the "0" value to be lower and "bypass" the freeware limitation (you can't configure sub-zero levels in the free version). This will work when you test it in the dashboard, but during regular use the light level never goes below the 15% limit already set by the OS.
What I did was purchase the full version (to get astronomer mode along with all the settings unlocked) so I was able to leave the 0 level at its default 15% but link some light intensity values to sub-zero percentages. Guess what? It works great! Once you go into a very dark room, the display dims as far as you set it to.
Another problem with the free version was that a few times I unlocked the phone outside in full sunlight and LUX did not increase the brightness. It appeared almost completely black because the light level was at about 15-25% (the same level it would be inside a low lit room).
Again, with the full version I did not notice this problem (I've used the free version for 1 day and the paid version for 1 day but running tests in different light levels inside and outside).
It's like the free version is a bit buggy on purpose, and I remember uninstalling LUX free about 2 months because of this; I was thinking that if the free version does not work OK, I shouldn't buy the full version. Apparently this is not the case (touch wood).
Just for the record, it's on "dynamically adjust".

If the display is a bit dirty (oily, dusty, etc) around the light sensor, you can try to clean it. If this is not the case, open the dashboard, let it determine the light level or hit "auto" a few times and make sure the reading is correct. Then just slide your finger along the yellow line to find the appropriate brightness level and long press the chain to link. Go to a brighter lit room then go back to the first room and see how LUX behaves. Also lock/unlock the phone a few times and see how it goes.
If you still have problems running LUX, disable it and check the default Android auto brightness to make sure it's not a sensor issue.
LUX also has the possibility to set the response delay under Settings -> Advanced -> Developer Settings (the last to just on the bottom, but for this you would need to buy the full version.

Thanks, but I think it is more of an issue of the sensor not being sensitive enough. I'm not sure if this is anything you can change in lux or if it would have to be edited in the kernel (or if it is fault of the hardware) but I just feel like the sensor doesn't go down low enough. As I said, I can get down to 1 or 0 in a decently lit room, and yes I have tried cleaning the screen. It's not like it jumps around or anything so it's not like I would notice anything in default auto brightness, it's just that it doesn't seem to be sensitive enough.
Screen filter is great!! I use as well!!!

Well for my Desire S, the lowest light level that the sensor can read is 160 lux (raw value). You can try and set LUX to use raw values because this is more accurate in my oppinion.
Another +1 for Screen filter here
Does anyone know how to use "luma" values for automatic adjustment in Lux instead of "lux" values?

What I have noticed on my phone is that "luma" readings are taken from the front facing camera, while "lux" readings are taken from the ambient light sensor (you can chose which one to use in the settings).
I suppose the front facing camera uses more battery than the light sensor; it also appears to be more sensitive because it can read more light levels.

I guess so. Thanks! But doesn't that kinda defeat the whole purpose of Lux? Because you can't use automatic mode with the camera(s).... so then what's it good for?
Well even if you don't have an ambient light sensor, you can still use the camera to check the light level when you unlock the phone and let LUX adjust the brightness level. Of course it's not dynamic but it's still better than having the brightness at 50% the whole time or changing brightness levels through a widget..

Display is slightly blinking in specific conditions

Yesterday i noticed something strange in my OP7p and i'd like you to check whether something like this occurs in your phones. Issue, which i will describe occurs only when i have 90hz refresh rate set and the low brightness of the screen with the auto adjustment of brightness turned off. The easiest way to see that is on youtube application with a dark theme. When we start a movie on the full screen (horizontally) and watch it for a few seconds, then go back to the vertical position, there is something like weak but visible blink of the screen, or a minimal colours change. It can be noticed in other apps, e.g. on facebook. Seems to me this is a software problem, beacause the same phenomenon doesn't exists when we set 60hz refresh. I would be very grateful if you can check it on your phones and give me a know about it.
I don't usually start videos in full screen mode and never noticed it but yeah definitely does a white flicker.
This is the highest brightness I could get it to do the flicker at.
Thank you for an answer. Personally i am able to see this flicker on a little bit higher screen brightness, but maybe its because im sitting in a dark room now. I was worried cause sometimes i see it during the normal usage of phone, and if only my OnePlus would be affected by this flickering i could still return it or exchange for a new one. It isnt very disturbing however interesting is whats cause of it.

Issue, which i will describe occurs only when i have 90hz refresh rate set and the low brightness of the screen with the auto adjustment of brightness turned off. The easiest way to see that is on youtube application with a dark theme. When we start a movie on the full screen (horizontally) and watch it for a few seconds, then go back to the vertical position, there is something like weak but visible blink of the screen, or a minimal colours change. It can be noticed in other apps, e.g. on facebook. Seems to me this is a software problem, beacause the same phenomenon doesn't exists when we set 60hz refresh. I would be very grateful if you can check it on your phones and give me a know about it.

this is usual for EVERY Oled screen and is called jelly effect...
You might want to try the DC dimming option in Settings->Utilities->OnePlus Laboratory.

From what i know jelly effect appears while we scrolling some content and propably that's not what i meant in my first post. Also flicker in my case is only visible on 90hz refresh rate.
I have galaxy s7e as a second phone and that effect doesn't happen there.
