Good Day everyone!
Just wanna share this awesome app, for those people (like me!) who are annoyed about the new "adaptive brightness" option to our LP rom (which is i think aint that responsive), for those who thinks auto-brightness is much better. Then this is the app for us..brings back auto-brightness plus alot of customizations.
thanks goes to the developer..:thumbup:

pretty neat app.
The Problem with new firmware for the Z2 is that the minimum Screen brightness is to high.
So automatic Brigthness on Minimum works quite fine in all situations no need for this app.
I installed and deleted because I think lux auto brightness is better than this

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.

In the same ROM as mine? Can you tell me where are the configurations for the BLN after installing the Semaphore kernel?
Has anyone else noticed their D3 on stock ROM min brightness is 11%? I noticed since getting my D3 that it has always been pretty bright, even at min brightness level. And using the brightness toggle from Beautiful Widgets, I saw that the two options were 11% and 100%. Is this just the widget, or is the stock ROM set up to keep brightness at this minimum level?
I use my phone in the dark a lot and it kills my eyes to look at it for too long, so I'm wondering if anyone knows how to get the brightness down any lower without switching to a custom ROM. I am rooted, of course.
Thanks for any ideas/solutions.

Brightness Widget Backlight, in the market should work. It's has configurable steps that can go down to 1%. I'm using it on CM7 and can get it lower than the lowest brightness setting.
You can lower it with Quick Settings, but a reboot changes it back. The lower brightness appears to be used when the display dims from inactivity. If you are already on the lowest factory brightness setting it can still dim some more. Thats the only purpose I see of it.
I use Brightness Level from the market and it allows you to go lower than stock does. I believe that it keeps settings after reboot as well.
Sweet, awesome replies.
Lookup screen filter, and should be on the market if I remember correctly.

I just installed and tried Brightness Level and it doesn't allow brightness levels to go below the lowest stock level. I see no purpose to that widget since the Power Widget for android allows brightness level adjustment.
I'd love something that allows for true adjustment from 1% to 100% on the stock ROM.

Screen filter rocks - been using it since I got my D3 back in November.
So I can select "auto" brightness by the slider on the notification panel. When I move the slider, auto is unchecked. BUT, I know since I've had the S5 over the past few weeks, I've had the slider show a +/- option that allowed auto to remained checked while you could move the slider between like +3 and -3 for the relative level of auto you want.
I know this type of option can be achieved through various 3rd party apps, but is there any way to enable it from stock? I'm just confused because I know I've had this option, but I haven't used any type of brightness app, and now the option is gone. I did have wanam Xposed installed before...does that add the option?
Hmm, looks like this is an option in wanam Xposed and probably a default option so I was seeing it when I had that installed... Wanam says:
Use Auto-Brightness Detail*- Enables a +/- 5 slider for auto-brightness
was the auto brightness fine adjustment ever working for you? i havw wanam on my s4 and my s5, auto brightness adjustment doesn't work on either. maybe im doing something wrong
I believe it was working when I had wanam installed, but I honestly didn't really test it out...and I took off Xposed framework for the time being.

man. i really wish i knew why mine doesnt work on 2 different devices. i spent hours searching and reading forum posts and found no answers. i know it works on TW because i had some TW rom that had it and it worked great, but i ditched the rom casue there were things it was missing and some things i didnt like.
I did see that Lux Auto Brightness and Velix Auto Brightness might provide good 3rd party solutions to better personalized brightness control fwiw.
Ive tried lux and some others. They either worked great and killed my battery. Or didnt work woth. ****
Good to know those are battery killers, I hadn't tried them our yet myself.
Lux user here, paying user actually, works great for me, no significant drop in battery unless im in an area where the screen is staying super bright.

Good to know this as well, was thinking of trying lux or velix one of these days. Have you tried velix?

Ive tried lux and twilight, i used twilight for a while cause i wanted somethjng like redshift/f.lux, but i found lux which had auto brightness and screen temp adjustment so i stu k with that. You could also try cf.lumen, personally i havent even heard of velix though.

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...

Thanks man, will look into that! using Twilight now, it is waaaay to complicated for what i want.

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!
