I have had this problem ever since I got my Nexus 5, but I went rooted short time ago and want to solve it once and for all ... if possible. The problem is that even when in the evening the brightness it at its minimum, the screen is still too bright for my taste. I have been using Screen Filter for a while and it does the job, I have been wondering if I could change the value of some parameter in some system file that would allow me to dim the screen even more. Any ideas if this is possible and, if yes, can you help me find that file?

Hello there. I would like to know if there's any app that enable Vox users to set display bright by percentage, or like High, Medium, Low.
I wish I could set my phone to stay always at the brightness level it gets after 30 seconds without use . I think the screen is to bright normally, and really want it to be in a low level.
Sorry for bad english, hope You guys could understand.
Thanks in advance.
"Tornado LowLight" also works on the Vox. Search for that.
I also recently discovered a tool called "LightToggle". It originates from Far East and may work without staying resident. Copy the files in the ZIP to the \Program files folder on the device and try the different .lnk files. For the Vox I noticed that the LT31.lnk toggles half/full brightness. Not sure if any system action will reset brightness before toggle again - just try out. Find it attached below.
Mind that the VOX driver only supports full and dimmed light level - nothing else.
Thanks a lot tobbie! I'll be trying it right now.

This app called half back light is designed for vox. It is good.
Hi,
You would have probably come across apps to adjust display brightness by applying a "filter" on the screen, e.g. Screen Filter - does anyone know how to develop an app like this?
I have searched high and low, and cant find out how to get started - any help would be amazing.
Thanks.
Im interested in this topic too Im currently developing an app where the app is active 5-10 min, and its not suitable to let the lockscreen be active. However, its likely that users, and the battery, wants to dim the brightness down, say 50%. But i cant find a way to programaticly to that. Is this so called screenfilter the solution?
Hey, I dont think this is what you are looking for pippi - this Screen Filter app is used to lower brightness beyond what the phone normally allows.
Its probably something like this you need to code...
"WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = getWindow().getAttributes();
lp.screenBrightness = 100 / 100.0f;
getWindow().setAttributes(lp);"
Can anyone help me with my question? thanks...
Aha, thank you very much! Ill look at that tomorrow, got some stuff to do before new years eve, cheers!
I've looked at past threads, but found no resolution to this.
I'm running voodoo colour with deep black settings and everything looks great, except right before the screen times out it will dim to its lowest setting and force the amoled panel to turn a sickly yellow/green hue.
I would like to disable the dim aspect and just let the screen time out by shutting off completely. Is there anyway to do this? I'm running the latest version of Pixel Rom with Air Kernel 4.2. I don't have auto-brightness enabled.
i am having the same issu i dont have to yellow tint in low light
but still i whould like to disable the dim it is disturbing my daily use of the device
i too dont see any point for this time out before the screen turns of
and i cant understand why when plying a game i need to touch the screen every 25 sec to get rid of the dim
thanks
I remember seeing something about auto-brightness light sensor tweaking back when I was using NV rom last year but I don't know if that would apply or not.
Does anyone know if the custom apps on the market avoid this?
edit: Tried Tasker for a full screen-off solution, and a bunch of other apps. Wasn't able to get the results I wanted :I
I have a Samsung Captivate and I am running a kernel with voodoo color support with this same issue.
The first post of this thread shows a possible solution - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002090

Hi guys, using my Nexus 5 I noticed the brightness was very inconsistent, even with auto brightness turned off the screen seems to dim occasionally and then go back to full brightness during use.
Have you noticed it too, and is there any way to stop it from happening? I would really like to be able to enjoy the beautiful screen at full brightness without it going dim randomly, thanks.

Yes I noticed it too, but don't know if it is a software bug or a feature to prevent from overheating (like Samsung devices do) or a hardware problem. It is quite annoying!
I'm not sure what it is with this phone's auto brightness but comparing it to my old nexus 5 I can see that this phones screen is always darker. I know autob its working because I sometimes see it change automatically but its just always set to be way too dark. I
f anyone else has this problem or know how to fix it without having to manually adjust the brightness that would help a ton.
Also if you changed your lux levels please post those.
On and also I do have the official screen protector on if that matters.

Yes, it is a little dark, you can go to settings/display & light and hit the little gear icon, hit adjust and set up the screen brightness you like depending on the ambient light.
i am facing that some time while scrolling brightness increases for some millisecond and come to normal. i found that is twitter, some huge page in browser page.
can any one tell what could be the issue hardware or just a software bug which can be fixed with other rom installation.
