This is an odd problem for me. I really love the Lux Auto-Brightness app and use it all the time but I've been having this issue that's now preventing Lux from doing it's job. Third-party app control of Screen Brightness doesn't work. If I go into the Android settings and change the brightness from there it works fine but every single Third-party app I try can't control my brightness. I can't even control the Screen Brightness from within MXPlayer anymore and that was working fine as well. I've thought maybe something is wrong with Lux but uninstalling and rebooting didn't fix anything. Does anybody have any ideas what's causing this?

What kernel/ROM are you using?

I'm running rooted Stock 4.1.2 with only mod being the change of dpi to 160. I've made no other mods.

Stupid question but did you try changing the dpi back to the original setting? If so and it didn't change anything I would just do a dirty flash of stock rom. Changing dpi can screw up a lot of things.

Changing the dpi didn't help. Doing a dirty flash is an idea but I'd prefer trying something less extreme before doing that. It'd be a pain to re-setup root and things just to get brightness control fixed. At that point I'd probably just move on to a Custom ROM.

Does anybody know how to fix this? Lowering the DPI or increasing it doesn't seem to fix it.

go to options and disable tablet mode, you will be prompted to reboot, do it and it should be fixed

I'm using stock keyboard and I'm using 160 in both System and user Apps but one wierd thing is that there are some values that I did not insert when I got to change density per app. Like in android system it's using 120, in browser 140 etc. Does this affect anything?

Found out what the problem was. It is in the status bar I just needed to resize it down to 120 DPI which I don't like because it's really small :/

Reflashed the ROM and everything is fine now. No more messing with DPI's xD
Love my Galaxy Note, but wish I could fit more onto my massive screen at times. On other devices such as the Nexus 7, changing the DPI will enable a tablet UI? Is this the same on the Note, so if I were to root and change to a lower DPI will tablet apps run?
Is it safe to do this, or will it ruin pre-built in apps such as S-Memo and the dialer/other phone apps?

I don't want to change ROMs, as I need the Samsung S-Pen apps. I like their functionality and use them to map out homework and my day-to-day schedule. Can't lose them. Nope, just wondering if changing the DPI would enable tablet UI and have it work properly. If not, then I won't bother. Not too worried, just would be a nice thing to have if possible to do!
Changing dpi won't turn your phone into a tablet it will just simply make things smaller so you can fit more on the screen

You can change your phone to tablet mode with any kernel/ROM. Can't remember the details but a quick search in Q&A and DEV should throw up the hack.

Tablet mode is 213 dpi and lower. It will work on stock gb roms, but has been disabled on stock ics.

can i use a program to decrese brightness as "screen adjuster" for more battery life or it ll affect the lcd life
I don't know about battery life, but it will decrease the burn in effect.
Sent from some place using the XDA ap.
I use an app called "screen filter" which has been around for years. It WILL NOT save your battery but it saves your eyes and your partners at night in bed and in the morning when the alarm goes of I use it daily.
Is there any way we can reduce the minimum & maximun brightness in rooted phones, by modifying the system files?
Cant you do that in cm rom?

Check the build.prop for lcd minimum brightness value. Modify using rom toolbox and check if it work for you.
I was annoyed with the brightness issue. Screen filter solved it. Thanks

The DPI of the display is how many physical pixels there are in one inch square of the phones screen, software cannot change this.
There may be software that could possibly force the phone to use a lower resolution, but i'm not sure why you would want that.

I got bricked after using an app.
If you're rooted you can edit the build.prop yourself, or use Xposed to control each app separately.

Changing settings in build.prop needs a reboot to become active. There is a build.prop editor in the PS. My dpi is set to 384. Font size huge.
I don't want to change dpi of the whole phone, just a few apps.

There's an app floating around somewhere called Screen Shift I think it does something like you're wanting.
