Hi all,
I recently acquired an S10E phone, and I was wondering if there was the ability to adjust brightness by sliding/dragging my finger on the (top) status bar of the phone.
I had a phone with Pixel ROM which could do this. This feature was called "Brightness control" in the settings.
Anyway so I guess Stock Android has this but is this available on stock Samsung? I couldn't find it.
Instead, I found this app on Google Play "Super Status Bar" which helps me do this. But it doesn't seem to work while in landscape mode (which sucks if I want to quickly adjust brightness on YT app.
Any help would be greatly appreciated... Not sure if this forum is dead now!

Hello everyone, I've been searching for an android app which allow to adjust the color temperature settings of the screen but found nothing.
I'm wondering how come no software has been developed.
Has anyone seen such an application ? i really would like to correct the color of my screen (which are terrible)
Regards
I just rooted my Nexus 4 and I am looking for a power control widget to place at the top of my pull down notification menu so that I can access various toggles quickly and easily. I have found a few apps on the Play Store such as "Power Toggles" and "Notification Toggles". The problem with these apps (and I know I'm being very picky) is their notification icon always shows on the notification panel. You can make it transparent but then there is just an empty space there.
Does anyone know of a similar app that would work on a rooted device and give me the toggles without the notification icon always being present? Any support would be greatly appreciated, as I am new to the world or rooting. Thanks!
Hello, I'm looking for a mod that adds the option of setting brightness by sliding across the status bar. To clarify, this is not the same as a brightness slider in the notification panel. You literally slide on the status bar with out having to pull anything down first. It's a crucial feature for me since I go in and out of the Sun a lot during the day. Thanks!
Viper ROM has it as an option so I know it is compatible with Sense roms. I'm running CleanRom now.
Tried GravityBox xposed module and it has the option but when I enable it, it doesn't actually go into effect...
Are you running the Kitkat version of it? Also you shouldn't even need to do this, the auto screen brightness adjustment on this phone is quite good and should adjust it properly for you even quicker than the status bar slider mod you're looking for can.

Yes, I was using KitKat version. The JB version won't even install on a KK phone...
I'd use Auto Brightness if I could set the lower limit to go all the way down to 0% but I can't find settings to customize that. Do you know an Xposed module that can?
In case you were wondering how to set the maximum automatic brightness level
A Google Search:
From the Home screen, tap > Settings > Display & gestures or Display, gestures & buttons. With the Automatic brightness option selected, drag the slider to set the maximum brightness level. This sets a limit on how bright the screen will be when Automatic brightness is selected.
Great answers.
How can one add this feature?
Hello,
I use an app called Display Brightness which allows me to toggle the brightness instantly with an overlay bar in the notification bar. I just installed it onto my S8+ and it doesn't appear within that notification bar, it displays it just under it which kind of ruins any apps that require text input at the top (which seems to be a lot).
Is there any reason for this? Or is there any alternative app which allows instantly display toggle from the notification bar?
Thanks

Look at screenshots attached.
This is what i use
One app is called Lux Dash (Play Store)
Other snapshot is an app Shortcutter ((Play Store)
It might give you some idea what to do.
The built-in brightness bar can even be shown just above the notification bar, without having to expand the quick settings panel.
And apparently in the future Android O the TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY will be deprecated and apps overlaying the status bar will no longer work.

Please delete this post, it duplicated for some reason after editing
Hmm that's disappointing that they are going to make this feature obsolete, this app has been by far the most useful ever, oddly, when I restart the S8, the brightness toggle overlay does appear in the notification bar but then after a few minutes, it appears further down again as shown in the screen shot.
This screen shot shows the S7 toggle bar working perfectly
This screen shot shows the S8 working less perfectly lol
I understand the default one can show at the top of the notifications bar but that requires the drawer being pulled down doesn't it? This app allows toggle immediately from the top of the phone on any app etc without any further touch
After days of searching for a way to force proper full screen mode WITHOUT the thick black bar I finally found one. However, it puts all notification/status icons already on the left under the camera. I'm so close to a perfect solution but this one thing is in my way.
Ideally I'd like to move all icons right but messing with the padding might be a good plan B.
Please help. It's driving me mental.
If you are referring to any notification icon and/or the clock, there really isn't any way to move those without doing a bunch of work on a rooted device creating your own theme basically. Also what thick black bar are you talking about for fullscreen? the bars are only present if whatever is being displayed isn't a 20:9 ratio. so any 16:9 (like most 1080p) media will get the bars. but everything else should be full screen by ensuring Setting>Display>Advanced>Front camera display area is on the right setting.

That's disappointing.
I have managed to move the clock to the right with edXposed via Gravitybox. It's just notifications now. Don't suppose you'd know if it's possible to disable the icons but still have notifications for those apps show up in the notification drop-down?
And that camera display area, when enabled, is the black bar I'm talking about. It's unsightly and a waste of space. Using the mod I found, all apps but Ookla Speed Test fill the ENTIRE to screen beautifully with no essential UI elements blocked by the camera. Landscape or portrait.

Only thing I can think of for the notifications is make them all "Other" instead of important. you would have to do that per app and per notification type that each app shows. Long clicking them in the drop down gives you the option to change it there. But that also means you need to enable "important and other notifications" on lock screen if you want them to show up there.; however, I can't find a way to allow "other" notifications to display on the Ambient display. I do use the AOD notify app and that could be a nice workaround for that as that will still light up for notifications that are labeled as "other" over the Ambient display and you can then color code each app to what you want.

Thanks for the tip. I changed the media apps I use to not important and that seems to have taken care of my issue for the most part.
Its not a perfect solution but it's the best and most helpful so far. Thank you, mate.

Hey @shadowofdeth, I have bought the OP8 recently and I too wish to reduce the height of the status bar(I don't mind the punch hole using the app space since most apps have the logo only at the top left). You said you have used a mod to reduce the space. Was it the edXposed or is it something else? Thanks in advance
