Lets make a Lux plugin for Note 3. It is by far the best auto-brightness app for the Note 3.
Here is the app I'm talking about. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vito.lux&hl=en
@Cyb3rGlitch is the original developer of the app. I hope @Cyb3rGlitch chimes in and tries to help us built a plugin :fingers-crossed:
But here are the resources on How to make a plugin.

Quite a bit really because currently it has to use workaround for night mode and stuff or has to turn itself off before you install an app. Benefits are listed on that page. Do you know/help make one?

I made my own automatic brightness using Tasker. It checks the ambient light level and adjusts automatically.
Even though it runs constantly it is not a battery drain. My theory is I am saving more battery by keeping the brightness low. It works better than stock. I used a threshold that checks the ambient light to the previous reading level so it does not change every few seconds.

The task executes every time the light variable change. Then I have some logic to only adjust when the change in light level changes enough to warrant a change in Display.
It is only 11 statements. It is tailored to my light sensitivity.
You can play with some of the variables to adjust to your eyes. It does does a lot better than stock.
Just don't pick immediate change, it caused display and stream issues.

Tinker with line 2 & 4.
Line 2 impacts how often it will update display.
Line 4 The ratio I used is for my own liking.
The basic premise was to convert ‰LIGHT which is in lumes to get a setting for the display which needs to be between 1-255.
Check Tasker manual for setting configuration and calibration on light sensor.
This is simplistic and good be enhanced.

This thread derailed quickly...
This thread sure did derail... I too would love to see a Note 3 lux plugin developed. What this will do that tasker will not is the color changing modes that lux has. Currenly night mode and astronomer modes affect the black areas of the screen as well as the colored areas. with this plugin for the note 3 this should be fixed. not to mention improve contrast.
Also i doubt that tasker is able to lower the brightness lower than what samsung allows through the normal brightness selector. I personally like to set my brightness very low in bed to read. and I would like to have it in astronomer mode but it actually makes it brighter without the plugin.

Been several posts in Q&A, and in general about best methods for adjusting brightness. Personally I like the slider in the notification tray, but the app Q Bright is by far the best app I've used for this purpose. Full slider, 4 customizable presets, full app customizations, fast acting, oh yeah, it's free.
Thought I'd share.
It's actually Qbright one word
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I like screen filter. It's free as well. It can make the screen go dimmer than with the notification slider. Q bright is pretty cool too. Wish I had a search key to long press to bring it up though haha

I've been using Lux for awhile now and it's been working great.
I also use lux, but everytime i reboot i have to open the dash to get it to work. I have the notification icon active, which always says for some reason 50% after boot until I click it. Lux works with tasker and i like that for profiling.
<quick hijack>I've been on the hunt for a widget I can pop in my homescreen that will jump between preset brightness levels. I generally keep my phone around 5% or so but when I'm outside I can't see that. I can pull down the notifications and adjust the slider but a button on my homescreen is much easier.
This one works pretty well but the icon doesn't center properly and my ocd brain can't take it. Plus sometimes it will just jump between 30%-100%...No idea why.
Sorry for derailing the thread
</hijack>
Saw that too, I couldn't deal with the off center widget either. I mean seriously, wtf? Who wants that on their screen?

I agree. This is what I've been using for.months and love it! It allows you to set custom presets based on the current luxury, which you can use the default reader or even use the camera to detect. I use default, and set customs by long pressing the link button on the luxury widget.

WARNING:
Using this mod may decrease battery life, decrease screen life and/or quality, cause overheating, cause your phone to blow up or cause other damage to your phone. Use at your own risk. I am not responsible for any damage this mod causes to your phone.
This Mod will increase the max brightness of your phone by about 10%.
Note:
Auto Brightness must be turned off for this to work.
Root is required for this Mod.
Instructions:
Download and run app attached to this post.
Or. ..
echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/panel/auto_brightness
If you reboot or enable auto brightness you have to run it again.*
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.
It worked!
Could you tell me why it can be increase?
And do you know how many nit when increased?
Thank you!

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.

The brightness limitation is at 250, this mode makes it 299.

Thnx for the info, but will it then decrease the screen life? I think that the brighter the screen and the longer - the sooner it will get worse (old etc)

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.

Hello guys. I have this question. My problem is the saturation of screen colours in my LG G2. I dont like the colours how appear. I got a tablet from asus and there is an app called "Asus Splendid" and you can adjust the saturation of colours and many other. I try an app from google play the "screen adjuster" but its not working good, if i set a custom colours i lose the deep black contrast from the screen...in fact its not working at all. Please help guys

If there is any custom kernels you can use Trickster Mod and change what you need to. I just got my G2 yesterday though so i don't know if any are available. Coming from a Note 3 though I love the screen. I hate amoled!

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.

need a custom kernel for that. try asking the kernel developers if they're willing to look into this, some color fine tuning would definitely be welcome.

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.

Before this week, I was using the "cold" display temperature setting in SlimKat but that's gone in favor of gamma controls. I don't really understand how to enable it though. I agree, the S3 display is aight but I haven't had the misfortune of looking at a better display yet .
Hello all!
I've recently updated High Brightness Mode Widget to work with the OnePlus 3.
If you find it difficult to read your screen outdoors, then this widget will help.
With one click you can force on or off a special hardware setting for AMOLED screens called "High Brightness Mode" which makes the screen as bright as possible.
The widget can be double tapped to start auto mode, which will automatically enable high brightness mode in bright conditions. I have specially tuned auto mode to work reliably and practically. It won't turn on unless you are in the sun or a very bright light shines onto your screen. More importantly, it won't turn on and off rapidly if you move into shadows.
Simple and extremely light (uses only about 3 or 4 MB of memory)
Requires root
Works with stock kernel and custom kernels on the OnePlus 3
