Hiya,
Two Qs:
1) Is it possible to remove the LG bootscreen? Reboot the phone a lot and I think it might make it faster. Am rooted and on the latest 10h firmware.
2) Is there an app that effectively puts a brightness slider on the status/notification bar? I wouldn't mind even it was a widget. I tried Power Toggles but it only allowed for a pop up slider which isn't that convenient.
Thanks xda
hi
1> yes it is possible (if u asking for boot animation, not logo) it is stored in /system/media.
2> I also experience problems with brightness when I was using Brightness Level widget but this is sort of LG kernel bug as I can understand cause I got problems with changing brihtness to auto mode

Perfect, thanks for the reply. So I can just delete the animation from .../media?
Yeah, I guess we'll have to wait for the update or patch in a custom rom for that brightness slider.

Despite doing this manually in the settings, occasionally the brightness goes up due to unknowns. Is there a way to keep the brightness always low?

If you swipe along the notification bar at the top you can increase or decrease the screen brightness.
"it's a feature not a bug"
i hated it myself till i read somewhere that (only if you deactivate auto-brightness) you can increase/decrease the brightness by swiping left/right on your notification panel! it happens often by mistake when you pull it down ... thats your problem
in the new froyo rom's this is no longer the case so now i use auto-mode and wait will this "feature" is no more
edit: Intratech...too fast

I never noticed this actually.. Also ensure though in the browser you have set brightness manually there
have the same problem, but i find the auto brigthness setting saves my battery more rather than accidentally turning it maximum brightness
I tried the "Dimmer" and "Brightness!" apps from the market. But none of them 'Keep' the brightness at the minimum always.
I've noticed 3 places where the brightness can be set - 1st being the web browser, 2nd the actual settings option, and 3rd the video player. Currently, I disabled the auto brightness control and I've set all 3 places to 1 step above minimum. Seems to work for me.
Also, I have a widget on the home screen to set/monitor the brightness level, it's called 'Brightness Widget by Stark Technology Inc.'.

its a bug in ddjf3 try a different rom. maybe jg5 or jm2.
I find that the auto-brightness on our phone doesn't reduce to the minimum possible! Is there a setting I'm not seeing?
I always use the widget to control it because it can take it much lower than the auto brightness does.
...so are there any fixes, or would we need a custom kernel to be able do that?
Auto brightness is just very inefficient. I've been using manual brightness on this and my previous phone for a long time. You could use an app such as Screen Filter which reduces the brightness, but it seems to make the colours look a bit washed out to me.
With regards to a custom ROM or kernel, I have no idea whether this would help, but I've never seen changes to the auto brightness function on any previous custom ROM I've ever used.

From what i know, You would need a custom Kernel.. try getting ' My Settings ' From market ... gives as much control as possible to ur stock ROM for screen brightness as possible along with a host of other useful toggles.
Be sure to add a SHORTCUT onto ur home screenm for easy access
it has improved my battery life quite a bit !
I don't understand how they could screw up such a simple thing!
I'm running froyo... does gingerbread fix the auto brightness?

Hi there!
For sometime now I want to move to LP but I find too many things that are missing compare to my current KK.
I'm using Lux Auto Brightness on my current device and on LP it caused so problems (fullscreen overlay, presist notification etc..)
I was wondering how is the stock auto brightness of the LP (if it's any different from the current KK) or is there any alternative for LP to the Lux?
Thanks!
I absolutely love the stock brightness settings. You set a desired screen brightness with the slider and it adapts the screen in a way, so that depending on environment light you perceive the screen at the same brightness u initially set. In my opinion it works really, really well.

What is your opinion about the brightness compare to KK?
I recall seeing some very poor performance form the stock brightness management in sunlight.

Stock auto-brightness (erm, I mean "adaptive brightness") sucks on Lollipop IMO. It's another example of something that wasn't broken but Google tried to fix it anyway and utterly borked it in the process.
My experience is that it does not "adapt" nearly enough. If I set the slider to the right level in daylight, when I go into a dark room I am blinded. If I set the slider to the right level in a dark room, when I go into sunlight I cannot see the screen. Frankly I cannot see the screen adapting at all. If it is adapting then it's in within a very narrow range. I even did a software repair to see if that would solve it, but it didn't.
I've not used Lux, but I've not heard good things about it in Lollipop and am loathed to install an app to do something that previously was handled fin by the OS. Stock auto-brightness worked very well for me in KK.

Are you sure that you have adaptive brightness enabled at all? I can see it adapt quite clearly on mine.

I'm using Lux on LP and don't have any issues. The persistent notification can be set so it's only visible in the swiped down notification view, but not perpetually visible in the notification bar (in Lux settings, set notification visibility to lowest priority). What do you mean by "fullscreen overlay?"

You need to add Package installer and SuperSU to the sleep list in Lux.

I just faceplamed myself so hard
I think I found the problem; when battery saver mode is enabled, when it kicks in, it will set your screen brightness to a certain fixed level. But when you charge the phone again and battery saver mode deactivates, it will not automatically re-enable adaptive brightness, so you need to re-enable it manually.
My experience was that kitkat was better on the screen brightness. Lollipop works fine and adapts well, except that in bright sunlight it won't turn up the brightness as much as kitkat did.
So I have the ugly stock notification panel on my P30 Pro MIUI 10.
I was wondering if there's any way of modding it without rooting.?
Thanks
You can use Power Shade on the Play store. Did have alot of fun with it.
Thank you very much, I was wondering the same thing. Now I have the notification panel as I wanted. Once again thank you very much.

Hi,
Is power shade actually fully compatible with dark mode in EMUI 10??
Cause I read that auto brightness toggle is screwed up (which I use) and others say it doesn't fully work for Quick Settings or re-asks from time to time accessibility permission. And others mention poorer battery life and performance as Power Shade is always running.
Not sure if it's worth paying for the app that might have those glitches.

Auto brightness works, but if you have that enabled then you cannot manually change brightness, the slider does nothing unless you disable auto
Ok, but how about other icons like Huawei Share that I use often? Are they still present? And how's battery life and performance? Any difference with Power Shade running all the time?

Can the brightness slider be removed from the quick settings panel? It's something that i'll never need and it just takes up room.
