Hello everybody!
I flashed some days ago the latest version of the Gueste2X ROM (v3.2), and it works great!
Btw, autobrightness it's not that good for me, I would like to edit the various level to fit it to my preferences; I read on Cyanogenmod's forums that in Menu-> Settings-> Cyanogenmod Settings-> Display there should be a config menu where you can edit these levels, but it's not present in my ROM.
Is it possible to edit the framework-res.apk to adjust levels as I want? I read something about it in this forum too, but I would like to know if someone of you did that yet.
Thanks you in advance!
Use the "Touch Brightness" application included in this rom.
Also: CM Settings -> Interface -> LED Notifications
Hello, thanks for your reply.
Seems you are referring to the softkey button, which brightness it's ok for me; i was referring to the LCD backlight. Is it possible to change its brightness, even editing the framework apk?
Thanks again!

I am not quite sure. But i think this is not possible on the o2x, coz of some driver issues
its possible, but not with the stock light sensor, but use the front camera light sensor its possible.
try the 'Lux Auto Brightness' app from the market.
Hey Vadonka, I've got Lux Auto Brightness installed on my Optimus 2X running CM7 (temasek-100) with your 3.x Kernel but I can't seem to get Lux to read any of my sensors right?
Maybe I'm using the wrong settings but I find Lux Auto-Brightness to be completely useless for this phone, it always reads "lux" as 20, or "luma" as 255?
Do you have it working properly on yours?

Hi!
I'm new in this Forum and want to thank all you for your helpful posts!
I searched a lot, but I didn't find any solution for this problem (which seems to irritate also other users):
After upgrading to Android 2.2.1, 'Auto Brightness' does not work anymore. The problem is, that the Display gets brighter in the sun, but it does not reduce brightness in shade - which is very battery intense and irritating while driving in tunnels.
What I did so far:
+ checked and unchecked the 'Auto Brightness' setting many times ;-)
+ used widgets like 'extended controls' in the hope their settings will overwrite the problematic system-settings
+ was searching for the app "Auto Brightness" (SIMMO Publications) - which might be able to overwrite system settings. But downloading this app is not available for me (maybe because of country restrictions)
+ I rooted the phone - also for other reasons. With root I hope I can also reduce the minimum brightness level of 'Auto Brightness', which would be helpful using it as an alarmclock next to the bed.
Does anybody have an idea?
Best wishes from Austria!
No ideas to the Auto-Brightness Problem? People from Android-Pit-Forum didn't find a solution. So I changed to the forum with the best reputation ....XDA.. ;-)
It seems, that the light-sensor works well... because the button-light goes on and off according to the surrounding light intensity ...
Any idea or hint?
that's not a bug, that's a feature!
anyway - CM7 has the option just like you ask for - auto adjusting brightness to lower setting. there are also hysteresis options so you can prevent the brigtness going up and down all the time.

Thanx MuF123 for your answer!
This feature sounds great ... but I feel not ready to install CM7. All in all I am happy with my system right now. I learnded in the last two Android-years, that big changes for solving small problems can cause even more problems and time-intense problem solving actions... especially for me as a beginner.
So, does anybody know about a root-app or a module (eg. out of CM7) just for solving this auto brightness bug/feature ;-) ?
It would be very helpfull for me and others ...
this feature is in
Settings > CM Extra > Display > Automatic backlight > "Allow light decrease"
I wanted to tell you just so you can ask someone else about this exact feature, maybe the "CM Extra" can be installed as stand-alone app? Dunno, try to ask in CM7 thread.

Hi!
Unfortunately I am not allowed to post into the developement-forum...
Senior User 'MuF123' informed me, that CM7 has this feature, which I miss a lot (Settings > CM Extra > Display > Automatic backlight > "Allow light decrease").
My questions:
Can the app "CM Extra" be installed as stand-alone app in my rooted Milestone with Froyo 2.2.1?
Or is there another solution for me?
Not possible. Its integrated to the framework.

You mentioned an app "Auto Brightness" (SIMMO Publications) before. try to download that app after faking your network using "marketenabler" from market.
just my 2 cents
You can try the widgetsoid app from market.
Great idea!
Thanx. First I have to reanimate my milestone ... I killed it with deinstalling all Launchers ... stupidity pure

The app "Auto Brightness" (SIMMO Publications) is not in the market any more ...
... hmm any ideas, how to solve this problem? See my starting post below...

Does anybody have an idea?
Does anyone kno of an app that can lower the lowest brightness level? I tried screen filter but i dnt like the tint it uses n it kinda distorts the quality of images and videos shown. I tried googling stll no luck. The lowest brightness level is still brite at nite.....
Have you tried turning off the Auto brightness feature and then manually reducing the brightness in the display options?
If you turn off Auto Brightness in your Display Settings, you can run your finger left or right along the top slide-down menu bar (the one that displays time, battery, signal, etc) to decrease or increase the screen brightness.
Srry i meant lowering the brightness lower than the lowest level limit. The screen is still to brite for me at the lowest level at nite.
App: screen filter

Use this software from Android Market,
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.curvefish.widgets.brightnesslevel&feature=search_result
Android Os will report you zero brightness when you change it in settings, but still it has 8% brightness enabled, so the above software will help you to pulling it back to original 0%
Even better than that, I remember supercurio (iirc, or was it hardcore?) hacked the SGS kernel to enable to an even lower brightness setting ages ago. However I haven't seen this hack integrated into any kernels for ages (unless I'm missing something and it's already there)
Hardcore's Speedmod K13E kernel for 2.2.1 has a super low brightness level
Try the dimmer app, it is better than screen filter, not as grainy.

I'm sorry to bring this up again...
I'm testing out the last build teamhacksung's CM9 and it came with a bunch of options to optimize the brightness.
Although I've been experimenting on this options for quite a while, the brightness is very irregular. At one moment is very dark and for no reason the brightness comes back up while I'm in total darkness.
Do you have any idea of what's causing this?
I get this as well. Also, the screen will auto-dim after a short time of inactivity. How to control this?

Also, I have a friend with the same software as me, everything the same and his Galaxy S gets much darker than mine. Even when we have them side by side.
Try Semaphore's kernel on THS ICS. It has its own auto brightness that works well and has a Dark setting.
That said, I still use screen filter on top of that in darkness.

Semaphore's kernel disables the BLN for me.
What I did was...
In the definitions put the dim level to 6. And then I added a button in the notification bar for brightness and I gave it the automatic and dim options.
That way when I'm inside doors I put it to dim and when I'm outside I change it to automatic.

I have a somewhat strange issue with my Galaxy Ace.
In several roms, I'm unable to use the option to change the brightness by sliding the top of the screen. When i look in cynagen mod settings, it says auto brightness is enabled. I haven't enable anything, but I cannot change this.
I had this problem in cm9 from maclaw, i have it in cm 7.2 blackhawk and i had it in another rom.
However, I'd like to know how i can disable this auto brightness setting...
Where can I find this?
Idk exactly what you mean, but auto brightness isn't working anyways on our ace

Hello.
I have N7000 and problem with Brightness control on Kitkat.
I tried OmniROM 4.4, CyanogenMod 11.0 Beta 2 and Team Asylum Omni 4.4. Brightness control not working. Backlight is still on maximum.
Apk Lux Auto Brightness also does not work. Only apk Night Mode dim backlight manual. But always do it manually is difficult.
Light sensor is working correctly.
So why can not muted and Brightness also AutoMod not to work???
Sorry for my english.
It's a known problem with kitkat. Just make a point to be updated on the issues in the ROM thread and you will come to know of the bugs and resolution. It's a new rom so there will be much less help.
Thanks.
Today is new fix AutoBrightness. Now is problem recovery:laugh:
I´m sorry...

Quick panel settings cannot be applied using this ROM as it is still in beta stage.. This option will only be available when we get CM 11 nightly out
