Screen Auto Dim Bloody Death! - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I'm truly getting tired of this. I want auto dim turned off completely. Every 10 seconds I'm not touching the screen, it auto dims. I have the screen to stay on when charging and not to sleep for minutes when not charging. But the Auto dim stays on.
I've seen an app that shuts it off under specific apps. But That app is a fail to me. I want it off! I never want the screen to auto dim. The device has auto backlight brightness and that is all I want.
Anyone knows how I can do this? Maybe a file to edit? something?
Device: Galaxy Tab 7, CWM 5 with CM9

Nobody seriously knows how to shut off the auto dim?

[Q] Camera forces 100% screen brightness

Does anyone know how to prevent the Camera app from forcing 100% screen brightness? It really is blinding for me especially at night.
Thanks
I can't help if you are on stock software, but I figured I would throw down a tip for CM10, since thats what I run. There is an option to allow screen dimming. I believe by default, once a screen brightness increases on android the only way to lower it is by cycling the screen. The option in CM10 allows the OS to dim the screen w/o turning the screen off.

[Q] Screen dims during call

Not sure if this is an OPO issue or an Android one in general. Don't remember it happening to previous phones...
When I make a call, about 90% of the time, it'll dim the screen. Now, I'm not talking about it using the proximity sensor to turn the screen off. That is a good thing, and I approve. But when I'm finished with the call, most of the time, it's dropped the screen's brightness down to the minimum level. And there it will stay until I manually turn the brightness back up.
Is there any way to prevent the phone from doing this?

Auto brightness issue?

I noticed that my auto brightness will adjust and get bright when I turn on a light but then immediately when I turn the light off the brightness doesn't go back down. Anyone else have this? I'm guessing it's software?

I wanna say its a known issue with the S6, google shows lots of hits.
I have S6 FLAT, and the autobrightness work ok if the phone are horizontal. But if i have the phone in my hand (in an angle more than 10 ° / 20 °) the auto brightnes bright the screen, but when i turn the light off the brightness doesnt back down. But if the phone are horizontal (0° in my hand or in a table, the brightnes bright up and down without problems)
Try to test the auto brightness feature with your phone horizontally.

Auto brightness bug?

I just bought S7 and i have a problem with the auto brightness. If is light near phone, the brighteness raises, but if i cover the sensor it dosen't decrease. I need to lock or uncheck and check Auto to adapt again. Do you have this problem too?
It does take some secounds to dim down but mine does it
Same here. My S7 takes about 4 - 5 secs to dim the screen when I hold my hand over the sensor. Probably lows power to not poll the sensor constantly, if that is what is happening.

Screen on delay in bright sunlight.

Hey
I have UK version of the P20 Pro and since updating to .110 I have a bug.
When brightness is on 100% either through Auto or Manual, and you turn on the screen in direct sunlight, the screen lights up slowly, rather than straight away.
The only way I can stop it is to set brightness manually below 100%, even 99% works.
Just a heads up to anyone else who has the issue.
Cheers
