I've find the nexus screen generally way too bright and max it to 7% normally. At night I have it at 0% using the reduced brightness kernel under the experimental kernel.
What i would like to know is, is there a way of making the brightness slider have a custom range from say 0-15% or something?

Just wanna ask, which is more battery friendly. To set your screen brightness to auto or not? :cyclops:
For me , auto brightness eats more battery...
I set brightness to 20-30% for indoor , 70% for outdoor ..

Auto brightness uses the sensors and the cpu as far as I know. That means it consumes more power. I also set brightness around 20-30% indoor and also outdoor... No sunshine in Scotland...
Auto brightness also sets the values way too high in most circumstances, doing it manually is much better for battery life

If you don't have the status bar brightness mod (or cm brightness mod) this is a great app. I use it to replace auto brightness, and I set an almost invisible slider on the left side of my screen to leave brightness as a manual setting and be able to bump it up on the fly without leaving an app.
It's called Display Brightness by bigrubberpepper

I also set brightness around 20-30% indoor and also outdoor but im going t try Display Brightness thx CharliesTheMan :good:
So manual brightness it is then, thank for the reply! will be using that CM brightness mod also
First, does anyone know a way to limit the maximum brightness? I hate going over 50 percent or so, it kills my battery. I want to keep it on auto without letting it go too high. I know there are brightness apps, but wonder if anyone would recommend one...
Also, these last two are reposted but I had no response on another section so, how exactly does app power saving mode work when set to "always" vs 3 days? Does it deep hibernate it and how soon?
Finally, which screen mode is best for battery life? Adaptive, amoled cinema, amoled photo, or basic?
Thanks
Adaptive is the best.

If you use auto-brightness, you can still manually adjust the screen brightness. And it will learn from your adjustments. So if you keep lowering it manually, over time the "max" brightness will be less than 100%.
I don't think it will limit it to 50%, though.

Is there anyway to increase the brightness to the always on display? Seems like it should be a little brighter?
Thanks, Vinny
Seems to get brighter as the brightness in room increases. I just didn't give it enough time to work.

Hi mate
But that sounds about right , the brighter the room the brighter the display has to be in order to see it better ( when in auto mode) , disable the auto brightness under display and set it manually to a high value .... ... see if it helps
i'm using superman rom v1.8, the always on display doesnt seem to change position but i heard that it only changes 1 pixel per minute,
my question is how do we know if its postion changed or not?
Hi all, I manually adjust the brightness settings, since I've upgraded OTA to Pie it needs to be set much higher than before in the same light conditions, is this just me or are others finding the same?

It's a known change in Android P. The slider now functions completely linearly instead of on a random scale.
I noticed the same thing, I used to keep mine around 25% but now have to bump it to around 75 %.

It makes sense and is a good idea. Brightness now transitions from 0 to 100 linearly, instead of going from 0 to 80% in the first half of the slider and then 20% in the other half.
This thing is barely visible under full sunlight environment with max brightness turned on. How's everyone experience?
as you said

It's very bright for me. I've read that you need to have the display on auto brightness for it to get max brightness.
