Hi!
We all know that Motorola changed the brightness settings in 2.2.2 so the screen is on 100% less bright then on 2.1 (eclair).
The same thing is on CM7.1 which I use.
So my question is, is there any way to "over"bright Defy-s screen? Or a way to use eclair screen brightness settings on CM7? I need more brightness, that's why I'm asking
Please reply, mihovil13.

I would greatly appreciate this if it can b done.
Anyone knows how?
I must say, I have not noticed a decrease in brightness at all.. Is there some proof? Did someone measure the strength, in lumen for instance?
My Defy shipped with froyo so idk about 2.1 but when i toggle brightness settings auto seemes to go just a little higher then full brightness for a sec so it does seem possible but i have no idea how. BTW im using CM7

Activate automatic brightness and edit the brightness levels to give full brightness (255) earlier or for all levels. The Motorola kernel enables a different brightness scaling (exponential instead of linear) when using the light sensor for whatever reason, which allows a higher total brightness as a side effect.

Still didn't manage to do this...
I've measured, on CM7.1 Ep3 rls max brightness is equal to 70% brightness on official 2.2.2 or 2.3.6

Ah that explains! I use a toggle to easily switch between auto and 100% brightness because in some circumstances the screen is hard to read (most notably when standing in the shade but close to an area with bright sunlight). I always noticed the difference in max brightness between both modes and apparently it has some mathematical reason.

So I used a graph of optimal screen brightness-to-environment brightness from displaymate and extrapolated it to our s4 brightness curve. I took 404 cd/m2 as the max 100% percent brightness and 201cd/m2 as 50% brightness (based on gsm arena) then came up with these autobrightness setting which to me look better in all ranges of lighting (except the very brightest sunlight) and can help save battery too!
p.s I dont know if our s4 in cm10's autobrightness reaches its full brightness of 475cd/m2 or 404 as if when set manually at max...so i just took 404 as the max brightness means 404 = 100%, 201 = 50%
Just copy the settings in pics below to get best brightness curve!
If you have better brightness settings please contribute!

As some of you already running custom roms are aware, the minimum brightness currently possible in LOS roms ( Pixel experience, Crdroid, LOS) is far too high to be used at night.
Yesterday i figured out that by decreasing RGB values in LiveDisplay ( Settings->Display->LiveDisplay->ColorCalibration) from default 100% to 10% ( lowest possible) i could achieve similar minimum brightness as with my previous phone which i measured at under 1 nits.
Here is the problem: It's a PITA to go through decreasing and increasing values each time you want to decrease the brightness. I have tried multiple solutions but it seems that the only viable one is trough use of Tasker. Here is the catch. I have little experience with its programming language and its UI is confusing at best. Is there anybody here that has experience with tasker and wants to help me with this? My current best approach ( dunno if each part even works yet)
CASE IF BELOW 5% brightness
THEN set Livedisplay RGB to 10%
IF ABOVE 5% brightness
THEN set Livedisplay RGB to 100%
Or just make a widget toggle.
Hey,
Recently I noticed that screen overlay that reduce brightness further then the rom settings stopped working(screen filter, night shift, etc..)
The lowest setting on the official rom isn't low enough and my eyes hurt at nights.
Any reasonable solution?
Hello all
I've used Samsung and some other android devices which their brightness can go very low but some other devices can't
This brought me to install pixel experience gsi and it solved the problem but there are many limitations on a gsi so I'm back to stock rom
I rooted the device and went to root directory and changed the brightness llevel from 255 to 50
But although it does get lower, the maximum brightness is now really low
I want a fix, how do custom roms solve this problem
