Hi all experienced cooks here, can I ask, how do I edit the automatic brightness levels manually, because on cm7 I've already set my values and I'm thinking of coming back to arhd, but I'm not sure if this is possible? Much help is appreciated!

this is the wrong place to ask questions man.. this thread will probably be moved soon..
if u want to adjust auto brightness on sense roms, it's a lot more complicated than on cm7, i believe u have to decompile framework-res.apk and edit /res/values/arrays.xml. But to what values specifically, u're on your own..

Here's a small guide by enf70: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10660706&highlight=auto-brightness#post10660706
He's describing the procedure for leedroid's rom but it's just the same for arhd.
Important note: a lot of themes include changes in the framework-res.apk, so if you want to use a theme make sure that either the framework-res is not touched or change it again based on that guide.
btw: could you share your settings for cm7? I'm using it now and it'd be much appreciated.

With the default levels of brightness I edited the 3rd column values to
1
20
35
40
45
50
55
60
65
75
85
140
These are my values for relatively energy saving xD so the screen in normal conditions with brightness at around 15-25% then in sunlight it will go to about 55%, because you don't really need 100% brightness to look at words, you can edit them accordingly to your needs
Note, tick the Allow light decrease, so that when the conditions are not that bright, it will decrease screen brightness according to the levels you have set, and the decrease levels I've set it to 70%, working qquite well for me
Hope this helped!

*These values also work for CM7*
I personally take no credit for this as i was searching how to set proper settings for my auto brightness using Team DIRT v1.7, so i searched all over Google and came across these settings that were recommended by the user "brkshr" over at rootzwiki, so all credit goes to him as i'm only basically copying and pasting what he has over there, hopefully it's not a big deal, if so, we can always remove this. They seem to be working just fine for me, but if any of you would like to give it a go, go ahead. I'm not responsible if your phone blows up, make a nandroid backup before you ever play with your phone settings. Shout outs to Team DIRT, CM Team for everything they've provided to us for our beloved Evil (Evo) OG (4G). If you don't find it too much to ask for, please thank the guy i bit this off of. "brkshr"

i haven't heard anything new on the compass so I'm assuming it's working just fine, i use googles maps without any issues so i would say yes it's fixed. as far as the auto brightness features, if you follow this guide, it will set your values up in a sense that it covers all types of lighting situations. i tried it out yesterday in doors and out, i'd have to say i was quite happy with the results. very responsive as well.
Am I doing something wrong? I tried following the steps here but my screen was so dim that I could barely see it indoors.
I am on Deck's Reloaded and I changed the number of levels to 20 and tried to mimic the settings but didn't have any luck. When I change the number of levels the "upper" value (that can't be changed) are all 0...Do I need to do something to change that? I tried just going through and setting it like in the attachments but maybe I did something wrong.

Change the entries under "screen" to something higher until it looks good to u. I like mine a little brighter, so I started with "0,80,0" as the first line, and then increased as I went down the list. Hope this makes sense.

I think you guys misunderstood my question earlier. Last time I tried cm9 (about two weeks ago) the custom auto brightness settings could not be changed, they would revert as soon as you exit the menu even after hitting save and apply. Also the time it took to adjust to changing light conditions was +10 seconds and basically unusable. (I saw in the changelog it was this way because they werent able to get custom auto brightness and the compass working at the same time). So am I to believe this is not the case anymore?

no longer the case. make sure your auto brightness is actually checked.. i was having issues until i realized it wasn't checked to begin with.
Works well on CM7 as well :thumbup:

The best way to tell if it worked would be to run it when your screen is already at full brightness. You'll see it go a bit brighter.
Tested on T-Mobile Note II, but this may work in many Samsung Galaxy phones.

I don't know and I have no idea.
My guess is that when auto brightness is enabled Samsung allows the device to go a bit brighter in direct sunlight. This Mod seems to half way enable auto brightness so that the screen goes brighter but doesn't enable the light sensor.

By this logic we should keep the brightness at 20 percent. The brighter it gets the faster the quality decreases in the long run.
I can guarantee one thing: when you'll change your device, this screen mod will not be one of the reasons.

I might have been wrong saying that. When i checked paranoid and applied the mod it didn't work. But today i tried it on galaxy s III with cm10 and it unexpectedly worked. So I'm not quite sure what the deal is. Anyhow I'm gonna take the chance. The brightness gained is too great.

Just want to be sure I understood correctly.
Every time after reboot or setting auto brightness I need to install this APK? No way to make changes permanent?

You could easily make a script that would do the echo at boot. Im no expert but I think it would happen from /etc/init.d. I'm sure someone smarter than me will chime in hopefully. ...

Using tasker to run the program at boot its the way to go. The problem is you have to run the program every time you activate auto brightness. Solution to both problems: use perseus kernel. It includes this mod.

Just got done flashing on stock odexed MDL and I gotta say that it's alright. I'm gonna give it a few more hours and see. Initially, what I don't like about it so far (or not used to it so far) is the abrupt way in which the screen pops off and pops back in.

Shouldn't depend on the launcher...my guess is that it's one of a couple things:
1. Go to Settings>Developer Options, scroll down, and make sure that the window/transition/animator durations aren't at 0.0x. If you want to feel the full effect of the animations (and tweak later based on your performance preferences), I recommend starting them all at 1.0x.
2. Go to Nova Launcher Settings>Look & Feel, then scroll down to "App Animations" and make sure SYSTEM is checked. It's possible that you have a custom setting here (I remember I did at one point) that is overriding the framework anims.
Good luck!
Thanks, the developer settings were all OFF.
I set them all to 1.0, now I see some differences.
But, I was expecting extreme differences from all the posts.
Thanks again.

So, before installing the CrossBreeder mod, http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2113150
I was saying, okay, it does something, sometimes, but now it is way cool.
Guess CrossBreeder kicked my phone in the ass!
Sprint S4, stock odex MDL, CF-Auto-Root, TWRP recovery, Hot Spot mod, XPosed Framework and mods,
[KERNEL] (004_r3)TouchWiz(UV/Intelliplug/dyn fsync/FauxSound/Hybrid Linux 3.4+) -
[MOD] CrossBreeder - 6.13.13-Lag Reduce/Entropy/DNS+/Tether+/Adblock/Censor Bypass
After setting the Window Animation to 1x, this mod became smooth and less abrupt and therefore more pleasing.

yeah if you are rooted you can use trickstermod or faux apps to adjust all aspects of your phone ie colur /gamm cpu settings,gpu settings there are others available too
the two kernels that are available are in their relevant g2 sections
Try STweaks from Google play, but it wont work with the stock kernel I guess.
Thanks guys for the fast answears but trikster mode and STweaks is not what im searching for.In these apps you can only Downgrade the saturation,I want to increase it just a lil bit,I already told that there is an app in my asus tablet called ''Asus splendid'' or something like that and you can adjust the colours with a slider,not like blue red green...I m running AOKP 4.3 now.

no, it's not that simple. a developer would need to implement the color calibration into his/her kernel (assuming LG has left that "window" opened, some manufacturers lock the display controllers and it takes some skills and reverse engineering to make it work) and then you would need a kernel tuning app that supports this feature too. i do agree, it sucks this feature is not available in one way or another out of the box on android considering how many phones out there have abysmal color calibration.
