How to reduce the creen brightness to the darkness BY edit the code?it is too bright even at day
i have canceld the automatic brightness，and use the min level ,i still think it is bright.
when i use Dell streak，i use the rootdim to reduce the screen brightness to a very dark level，so i can save the battery。
Now，I use Samsung N7000，i fund it is even more brighter。i use the rootdim to reduce the brightness，but i failed。

I find that my screen doesn't dim enough when I'm in a dark room. I've obviously taken manual control over brightness. I k ow its possible for the screen to to dimmer because my alarm application can dim the screen. But is like a way for this to be system wide. Does anybody know a way of doing this?
If you can share I'd be most appreciative.

I use something called screen filter from the market. It puts something similar to a black screen overlay on the screen and allows you to control how much it dims.

You can also get an app called Curvefish Brightness Level which will dim your screen lower. The phone controls only allow you to bring it down to 8%, I believe. This app lowers the brightness to 0%, which makes a difference.
For further dimming, use the app recommended above.
My eyes thank you both. I tried Curvefish's solution and it couldn't do low enough (works well, but my room is pitch black at night. Would work for someone in a theater which is why I'm keeping it). Screen filter works extremely well for my needs. The only downside is it does some funky things to blacks when enabled. I can live with that, and its a small price to pay for might time reading comfort.
Thanks again.
EDIT And if anyone wants to know, I'm using Alarm Clock Plus. I like it a lot.

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.

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.

any oficial rom with lowest minimal brightness?
thanks
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.

Semaphore & BLN working fine together for me...

In the same ROM as mine? Can you tell me where are the configurations for the BLN after installing the Semaphore kernel?
Every now and then, my screen brightness keeps on lowering automatically. Sometimes, brightness gets reduced to half, sumtimes even lower!
All the settings under power saving is turned off + under display -> Auto adjust screen power is also unchecked…
Anybody knows wht can be this issue ???
I believed you could try disable this option too. As it also dim your screen according to the image or program showed on screen.
Hope this help.

Hi again, I just found another thing to make the screen dim after I set screen to low light.
When I set light to low. Any program I used will not effect to screen light except the build-in browser. When I open the browser my screen dim itself to high brightness.
As I recalled, build-in browser have function to dim the screen too. Maybe other programs may have this function and can effect screen dim.
Hope this may help.

I also have this problem of ramdom screen dimming.
Auto brightness unchecked. The same thing with unchecking auto config screen.
May be it's a conflict with the inner brightness of the default browser.
For same software,iphone display words as dark red,but note is bright red. My eye is very tired. How to adjust it?
Go to settings....display....brightness -and then adjust brightness. Alternatively, swipe your finger from left to right on the notification bar on top of screen to lessen brightness. You can also change screen mode (settings...display...screen mode) which can make colours less bright.
If you try and all these options fail, try some ray bans. They work for me ;-)

Also try changing the display mode to movie since the others are very oversaturated.

I advise you to use the free widget Screen Filter.
With this widget you can set your screen to every brightness you wish.
I use my Z3C at night quite often and find that the backlighting is too bright even turned all the way down. The adaptive lighting option does not bring it bright enough durring daylight use if left un the low setting. Is there any way to adjust the backlight other than a 3rd party app?

Do you mean other than the brightness slider?
Install lux and set it to adjust brightness automatically depending on ambiant light.
Set it to -10 or 5% with 1 lux and 100% with 100. Etc. It take time to adjust it but will save your eyes and battery.
Donation isn't necessary but bring some good options.
Works like default adaptive brightness but with more steps (if you desire), darker or lighter...

After a few days with Lux, it is much better. It allows the screen to dim and brighten way past stock settings. I really like the night filter mode. When i am outside and check my phone i am no longer getting blasted by a spotlight bright screen!
