Question Adaptive brightness on GSI? - Samsung Galaxy A53 5G

My concern is adaptive brightness not working on GSI ROM (not even one)
I have LineageOS 19.1 and adaptive brightness ain't working (had Pixel Experience and AOSP, but doesn't work either).
I have also tried "force alternative backlight scale" - that only enables brightness to be changed
I have read and found the one way about overlays' /vendor/overlay stuff, but overlay is already there, folder permissions are 755 and APK permissions are 644. And mo matter how much reboots or termux commands still nothing... Also found treble-overlay-samsung-galaxy-a53.apk in root files but that one also doesn't seem to solve the problem.
Night Light works perfectly, still don't get why adaptive ain't working.
I've seen people on GSI roms on this forum, so help would mean a lot.

Same problem here. I heard that overlay require root so I didn't try it since I dont want to root my device.
Any help would be appreciated

If its the same as my other Samsung phone and if I remember correctly then its due to the adaptive brightness being custom implemented for Samsung's official rom that isn't compatible with unofficial roms. Something like that.
Either way, its just how it seems to be with custom roms. You can set low brightness if you want it and less battery usage and if low brightness is offered.
Since I'm not working on the rom, I could be wrong for this phone. But, since you bring up its not working here, it seems like its probably it.

[Q] Is there a way change Auto brightness behavior without 3rd party apps ?

I have tried several different apps (the one I currently have is Lux Lite) but they don't always work right, even when they are in the notification area (which I hate). So I'm wondering if I could manually override the auto brightness behavior without using an app.
I'm already running n3oHammer_v16 custom Kernel, so I'm open to kernel based solutions (any kernel with good battery life and S2W or D2W is fine). I had a HTC One X with a custom ROM which had support for overriding Auto brightness values, so I'm guessing Nexus 5 should have something similar. But a quick search didn't turn up anything, hence the post.
Bump, no one ??

[Official Pie] Auto Brightness

Hi all.
Is it me or the auto brightness of Pie works way worse compared to Oreo' one?
Too much bright inside, too much dark outside.
Just my impressions. Your thoughts?
Hints / Suggestions?

Definately worse that Oreo. The pie stable was just a rushed update
For me, the auto brightness initially was working on the extreme ends on pie, but after constantly adjusting it to suit my needs, adaptive brightness has worked it's magic and now for me works exactly as I'd want it to work.

Do you mean it is an official documented / mentioned feature the fact that leaving adaptive brightness on and still manually correct it, will lead in time to system recognizing your needs and slowly adjust accordingly?
Or is it something we're just guessing?

It is something that I have experienced after the update to pie.
The Pie update is just a friggin mess. Horrible brightness, time zone changing, bank apps not working, future alarm notifications, awful interface with the info cards and pull down menu notifications, websites loading strange, developer options nested in another settings menu, less options in the settings area, phone dialer button is green... I rolled back to 5.1.11 because of all the hassle.
And yes, I have bug reports and yes, I even tried it with a full wipe and fresh flash of 9.0. Between Google's design choices and the bugs, Pie is awful.
It has always been really bad for me.... Too dark all the time.... it doesn't really respond accurately and fast enough....

WTF ls the point have having Auto brightness if you need to set it manually for a little while? This is just a bad excuse for a poorly see everyone's feature. Nobothern9honebhas this issue and even on Oreo it wasn't an issue

Go and read about it, ask google. I think now its called adaptive auto brightbess or smntg like that, just use it adjusting just will help it for auto feature to give the best screen brightness. Not everyone sees the same in the same light conditions. So this new adaptive brightness in pie is aiming to that. By adjusting it to your needs how u see it better in different light conditions it just helps phone to learn about everyones different vision/seeing levels.
But it just my opinionl

I have read about it and apparently it's a WIP. Doesn't make sense to put a WIP feature in a stable build. Don't get me wrong I love the OP6 and the pie release is ok but it was very much rushed out. They should have taken there time and released a pie build that was perfect. Beta builds should be used to make changes and fixes.

Oxygen tweaks for OP6 with replacement screen

I have replaced my panel with an aftermarket ips lcd (not amoled). While the display is perfectly acceptable oxygen os doesnt seem to be able to handle the brightness on the new replacement screen. It often freezes on a setting if i keep it at that particular brightness level for too long and requires a reboot to start working again.
These issues don't happen with Lineage, and while i could run lineage, i would like to run oxygen as i like it.
What is it about the brightness settings that lineage does differently from oxygen, and can that be somehow patched back into oxygen?
It's baked on the op system i dont think there is a way... Custom rom is the only way

Issues with LOS and questions regarding other ROMs

Hello,
I've been using LineageOS 18.1 on my OP7 Pro for about 2 weeks, and I would like to share some of my issues with it and hope an educated person can send me in the right direction.
Issues I have with LOS so far:
1. Random crashes where my phone will reboot, probably once every day/every other day
2. Physical notification slider doesn't mute media volume when set to silent
3. Battery life seems worse than stock OOS on A11
4. Forced 90Hz refresh rate instead of stock adaptive potentially meaning worse battery
5. Vibration intensity way too strong and no option to change it
Probably forgetting some others but that's the gist of it. Ifbyou think there's a ROM for me including stock then please lmk. I briefly used HavocOS but it felt too Google-ly to me. Still open to try it if y'all recommend it though. Thanks

Android minimum brightness fix

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
