Need help setting screen brightness levels - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi ,
I flashed my Moto G titan with the latest CM 13 snapshot. took me two days and multiple attempts to get it to work with G apps, C Apps and all. Finally all set. But I notice that the screen is pretty bright even in the lowest brightness settings achievable via the slider.
I did my share of look ups and tried editing the brightness file in sys/leds/backlight. the brightness does go down but come back a bit later to the system default lowest brightness level.
Could anyone help me with modifying this via system configurations. Since the system can achieve it I would not want to use third-party apps.
And for those who are sticking to the stock ROM - The CM 13 snapshot works better .. smooth performance and better battery life.. The screen brightness if its further reducible would improve on the battery life.

[Q] Auto brightness woný go up to 100%

Hey guys,
I was just wondering why it is that my auto brightness won't reach te max level...
I'm running fr17 right now but the problem was the same on all the custom roms I've tried....
Any ideas?
Thanks!
nobody with the same issue?
I have the same problem, i also think that the brightness is not low enought at night
Same here. Too bright at night, not bright enough in sunlight
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App
same here aswell
yeah, it won't go just till 70-80% I believe, even in direct sunlight...
solution:
use brightness level widget, set it around 35% when indoor, and just put it to 100% when you go out... i know it's not automatic, but still better than going to settings, since this is just 2 taps
for me these settings are perfect, battery is great
Someone should try to re-calibrate the sensor and add that to cyanogenmod or release a patch for it. Kinda weird that they made it this way...

Lollipop screen brightness

Got the OTA update last night, it seems as if the screen brightness has gone down? As in it is dimmer at full brightness than before but it also goes down dimmer than before.
Is it just me or do any of you notice this too?
the maximum brightness is almost same (i have 2 moto x one with ota and without) but yeah the minimum brightness has decreased significantly
sent from moto x
That's a lollipop feature imo because my nexus 7 2013 also possessed same situation after lollipop update. I'd say its quite useful at nigh!
I had this same problem at first. Go to settings > Display > Brightness > Toggle Adaptive Brightness. Everything looks fine for me now with it off...
Yup I just found that out last night and was going to post it lol
Don't know why they turned that option on by default.

Auto brightness to low

Hi i am on gloabal stable rom and i have noticed that the brightness in low light goes to low and iff you change it manually to slightly higher it wont stick and after the phone screen is turned off and then back on the brightness in darker areas is to low again. Most android phones on Pie i have had have adaptive brightness meaning it will adapt to how you set it in each environment but on Miui i think it is different and it is also called auto brightness rather than ambient brightness. I am rooted and i have tried a couple of magisk fixes but nothing changed and in dark area it is still to dark and this is a big annoyance for me and i think it should an easy fix. Maybe someone know where the brightness values are located and can explain how to change this manually so it does not go so low in dark areas.
I have the same problem with 10.3.1 mi 9t pro
I don't have the problem anymore I moved to lineage

Somebody on forum said that you have to train your adaptive brightness. Every time it is too low you bring it up with slider and after few times it should learn your preferences. I didn't yet try this, but I will...
Usually on Android it works like that but on miui its called auto brightness rather than adaptive brightness and didn't work in the same way.
Any news on this? Does it work on MIUI 11 / Android 10 better? I love this phone but this issue is really annoying.
I'm on miui 11 EU it works perfectly.

Question Auto brightness too low

Hello, 3 days ago I bought oppo x3 pro. Phone is awesome, but auto brightness works very bad... It keep decreasing screen brightness to very low level.
I never seen something like that, Samsung S20 works much better, well, even realme x50 works normal. To use phone I had to disable auto brightness. Is there anything like adaptive screen brightness, I read somewhere that samsung by the time learn my preferences, and keep good brightness. Tired this with oppo for 3 days, but seems it doesn't have that option.

If it is the same mechanism as in OnePlus (not sure about it) - then the phone will "learn" after you manually set the brightness to proper level. Give it 2 weeks.
Btw. Rydzyk in avatar, hope youre not the real one
Real Tadeusz here
I was teaching for 3 days, but without success. Will try for a week now
thanks
Try clearing system cache and data in the relevant apks.
Test the light level sensor to see if it falls within an acceptable range.
I use manual brightness control almost always; doing so saves battery, retinas and sanity.
It also reminds you when it's too bright and your frying your display.
Same here. Helped me out with Lux Brightness and set the minimum brightness to 30. Works fine for me.
To me in Realme 8 it seems to have learn a minimum value for auto brightness instantly, I just set a minimum a little above of the default level (It was very low), and the phone remember that level onwards
well, mine surely isn't 'learning', it keeps defaulting to the lowest value, which is waaay to low.
Are there any alternatives to Lux Brightness that you know off?

What happens to me is that the default auto brightness deactivates itself when it wants, and reactivates also when it wants, very annoying. So I deactivated manually the auto brightness and tried Velis Auto Brightness, this app is a little complicated but works quite well, just you have first to understand the app itself and then tweak a little to your convenience. It has a little bug in Android 11, the notification of lux and % of brightness screen disappears after some time but doesn't affect the app itself. Take a look https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.velis.auto.brightness

Question What to know before installing LineageOS

Hello!
The LineageOS thread is getting very long at 12 pages now, I am looking to install it, but since this thread is so long, it is hard to track what is fixed and what is an issue. So please, if some of you with Lineage could reply with some of the current issues it would be very helpful for me and other people.
I will try my best to add them to a list below for other people looking to install Lineage This is what I have gathered so far.
No vibrations after screen/SIM unlock
Fingerprint scanner only works with screen on
Fingerprint scanner flashes the entire display at max brightness
Night light does not work
(Maybe) No data roaming
(Maybe) Bluetooth APTX codec does not work for calls
(Not a bug) Screen refresh rate can only be changed with adb
Quick update: I installed Lineage anyway lol. For me all haptic feedback works, so I barrwd it from the list. Some I could not test. Overall Lineage is sooo much smoother than the stock ROM, Asus removed so many little animations. Also I noticed the sometimes, screen kind of shifts colors rapidly, maybe this is related to auto brightness...
Edit2: its not the auto brightness so my next hypothesis is the refresh rate going to 60 and back to 120 when I touch the screen
Edit3: it seems to be switching between 120/60 to 90 for some reason? I tried manually switching refresh rates with adb and saw a very small difference between 60/120, but with 90Hz, the colors are all over the place, same happened on the stock rom too.
