I'm using cyanogenmod 7.2 stable with mazout's kernel and while the built in auto brightness works fine, other apps cannot get the light sensor value. The name of the sensor shows "Dummy LGE-Star light sensor". This prevents from using other auto brightness apps like lux auto brightness.
Any way for other apps to get the light sensor value?

Hi,
Anyone know how I can up the brightness 1 or 2 notches from the default Auto Adjust Backlight settings?
Basically I love the light sensor i.e. auto backlight adjustment feature but in a normal room I would like the backlight up 1 notch from the brightness based on my ambient light.
I can switch off the auto adjustment but when I go out into the bright sunlight, I can't read a single thing on screen until I go and max out the backlight manually.
Hope some one can "shed some light" on this! ;-) hahaha.
The Auto-Brightness is a great feature but in the dark or with low light, it just seems to be a little too bright. Its not too bright for my eyes, its more in regards to saving power.
Is there anyway to modify the settings for Auto-Brightness to help save more battery?
I also was wondering if it would be just better to manually change the brightness, since the Auto sensor is using power to operate?

I don't think you can modify the Auto Brightness settings. You'll have to adjust the value manually.
I've realized that Auto Brightness doesn't work on my Desire Z so I've installed Brightness Profiles as a shortcut that lets me modify easily the brightness without having to go through Settings/Display etc.
Is there any way to customize the auto backlight levels in mango? The screen is always too bright indoors and too dim outdoors.
tht's true, it would be cool to customize, because auto backlight depends on the battery level but nothing about light sensor...
Umm, the automatic backlight is very much based on the phone's light sensor. Battery Saver *might* lower the brightness automatically, but the "Automatic" option under Settings -> Brightness is based on the light level that the phone detects.
wow...shame on me i didn't notice that...
HD7 screen is not really effective when sun is shining outdoor...
Hi everyone. Is there a way to trick the brightness sensor so that we can get the extra brightness /contrast under the adaptive display mode? I imagine it like a brightness sensor calibration under strong light! so every time one uses the auto brightness it would scale immediately to the max+ brightness .
Anyone thinks it is possible?
Thanks
Hello, I have the redmi 6 for almost a year and so far so good with how the automatic brightness worked.
The brightness slider was working as a suggestion for the ambient light sensor so if I found the automatic being too dim I could just up the slider to my tastes and have the automatic lighting adjusting accordingly.
After the last update to MIUI 11 and android 9 however the automatic light is just way to dark and the slider is moving completely on it's own without taking input from me, so I just can't have both automatic brightness and configure how strong it will be at the same time.
Is this a bug or the way android 9 works? Any workaround to change it back to the old functionality?
