Adjusting the brightness does not work until I press the lock button.
Previously on 4.2 worked fine.
Now is kitkat.
So wait a second, are you trying to adjust brightness when it is locked or unlocked?
Also, I assume you are trying to change it with the touch controls?
When unlocked I change bright level with touch controls. And has no effect without locking.

There might be some apps which can run invisibly on the top of all. Android will consider the brightness Settings of the top most window.
Check whether you have any brightness control or powersaver or some kind of widgets which runs on top. Kindly disable or uninstall them & then check again
No. There is nothing such thing.
When I set my phone brightness level all the way down and the open a video with MX player, it will increase the brightness.
Even when I do the gesture to lower it, it still won't go as low as the phones brightness. When I exit the app it goes down again.
The brightness switch in screen settings doesn't seem to influence this.
Let me know how I can help to fix it.

In some devices, app can't set brightness as dark as system's brightness setting. In this case, you have to turn off MX Player's brightness control to get darker screen by checking off Settings > Player > Screen > Brightness.

Like I mentioned, that doesn't seem to work.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 that was running some version of Marshmallow until it was recently updated to Nougat (7.0). Around the same time, my ability to scroll the left side of the screen to change the brightness of a video stopped working. However, I feel like it worked for a little while after the update, but I can't be sure. I'm using MX Player Pro 1.9.17 (ARMv7 NEON).
However, during playback sometimes the screen will suddenly change and become much brighter for about 5 of 7 seconds, then return to whatever it was set at before. This happens without any touch input from me.
Is there anything I can do to return the brightness functionality back to the app rather than the OS? It's significantly more convenient to change it in the app.
If the brightness gesture is not working, Probably you might have disabled gestures on Settings ยป Player or Control. Kindly check the settings.
If MX Player shows the new brightness value and there is no brightness change on the screen, then It may happen when some app runs on the top of MX Player invisibly. By default, Android takes the brightness values from the topmost window. If any widget/floating icons/Invisible screen filters run on the top of MX Player surface it may happen. Kindly disable such apps & try again.

So I was annoyed not having an LED notification light on oneplus 6t so I tried to make one of my own.
As OP6T has amoled display whenever a desired notification comes the app brings in a black screen with notification LED looking animation.
Though this is tested on OP6T, it should be working for most Android Oreo and later phones.
To use it:
Install App.
Disable Ambient Display and any battery optimisation for the app.
Give notification access permission.
Select apps you want notifications for, by choosing a color (Only apps you set a color to enables LEDs).
Note: 1. On successfully selecting a color for an app the text in which the App name is written should change to that color
2. Don't enable the LED for the "Phone App" as it will interfere when an incoming call is coming! Will fix this in next build
Thats it.
Note: To turn off the LED and to unlock phone double tap anywhere on the screen.
Also on pressing power button once the LED stops and on pressing it again it will bring you to lock screen.
App now available on Play Store, please rate and share if you liked the app.

If the app is not working check whether the Notification Service is running under Developer Option > Running Services, this service is required for the app to work as intended.
If it is not running after various troubleshoot measures, maybe send the logs.

Give your feedback!!
It would be cooller if it would use the edge lighting.
Great app, love the simplicity.
Is there any way to show the notification first (like stock configuration) and then show the flashing "LED" after a few seconds?
Nice app. Been using since release when I saw it on the OnePlus 6t forum. Only issue is when you dismiss the notification (double tap) , screen goes into full brightness first before dimming down. At night, it's hard on the eyes. Hope you can fix it (add auto brightness support so it follows the screens brightness after unlock). Cheers mate and keep up the good work.
Good to see your thread here for OnePlus 7 Pro! Cheers
working thx ?
cut u get it to work wiht eged light??
Nice! It working good!
"Is there any way to show the notification first (like stock configuration) and then show the flashing "LED" after a few seconds?"..also my question..
Sometimes the LED flashes even if there is no notification
This is AWESOME!!! Could you make it so that
1: It doesn't flash the white bar across the bottom first
2: not go full brightness?
Thanks
This is an awesome app. Would be amazing if you can use it with the edge lighting.
Brilliant, thank you. Gome through countless apks trying to get a notification led. Thanks
Oh, one more thing, would it be possible to add an on/off switch so you can easily turn it off if you don't want to use it?

you can use the app always on edge if you want customized edge lighting
Nice idea and nice app but would it be possible to get it to work together with ambient display enabled?

I don't want to customize edge lighting. I just want to make it work as notification.

thats exactly what the app does. it lights up the edges of your phone for a notification and you can customize each color per app, etc.

i'm talking about the app ALWAYS ON EDGE in the play store, which is the app i recommended because the poster i quoted asked for that function. so yes, the app always on edge in the play store will do what you want as well. it has a ton of options in the settings.
i also used this one notifybuddy
but went back to picel pulse untill this one support missed call's
pixel pulse works with orginal notification system
There is this app, which I do not own or have any affiliations with, that acts sort of like a filter that lowers the screen brightness instead of actually lowering it. I haven't really tested it fully, but it works perfectly on my s7 Edge.
And the best part is: there is no root required
All you have to do is to install the app, go to Settings - Accessibilty - Installed services - screen dimmer, and turn it on.
Just make sure that your actual brightness is at 100%, and you can change the brightness within the app, or with the shortcut in the notification bar.
Here is a link to the app:
