droidlight - its all budget all the time but its from Motorola Mobility, so it should be 100% safe to use.

Torch toggle from gravitybox.

Does it make much difference? I am using the Motorola one but I'm wondering why you would ask - do different apps provide a brighter light?

The one I linked above is super simple.open it, the light turns on.open it again, it turns off.easy as could be

I'm not sure what is the Motorola one? Do you mean Droidlight LED Flashlight? Looks it will automatically turn off when screen time is up.

That's the Droidlight LED Flashlight, I saw some comments that it will automatically turn off when the screen time is up, do you have the same issue?

No, but motto puts a time limit on the led. I assume it is to protect the led from over heating.

Been using this one since my Driod 1. Lets you use screen or LED and seems to be very lightweight (would have posted the actual link, but I never really posted to XDA... just mainly read. Need to get rid of the stupid post restriction)

I use the flashlight in Power Toggles. I keep a set of toggles on a lock screen widget (WiFi, sound mode, Bluetooth, flashlight, GPS) and the flashlight is one of them.

TeslaLed, you can set a widget with it that automatically turns it on. It also has strobe options I believe. But it also works great with Tasker as it is built in as a plugin or 3rd party options. I exported an app with Tasker App Factory so I can activate it via voice as well.

auto brightness too dark?

Does anyone else have this problem when brightness is set to auto and you wake the phone in the dark the screen is too dim?
It's fine when you wake the phone in bright places.
I have the Verizon Note 5.
Thanks.

I personally think it's too bright in the dark
Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

yup. its painfully dim on auto setting. Verizon note 5 here...

damn, i felt it was too bright. i couldn't wait to get lux running to dim the thing down.

This doesn't let you set the auto level after you set auto like the s6?

I think he's referring to when you check the auto box and you're able to increase the auto brightness level on the slider, so you're auto brightness is relative to the slider.
I have the AT&T version and this does not work.

I to am having the same problem.

On the international version of the Note 5 and it just started happening to me. I walked outside and thought my screen broke because I couldnt see a thing with auto brightness on. No idea whats going on.

Had a similar thing happen to me. Was standing outside in relative darkness and suddenly, without any changes to the environment, my screen became a lot dimmer. Weird.

I had a look at the self test service (*#0*#) and checked the light sensor. It showed 0 Lux and when i shined a torch on it and did not change. Not sure what to do now =\

I fixed it by flashing the latest firmware from Samsung. The senors have gone back to normal but now I seem to have a weird battery drain. The "Android System" seems to be using most of the battery

Dont really want to flaah my new phone...i have this as well. Seems to happen in the evening more than the middle of the day. Maybe the power level in the phone is lower...so its trying to help me out. Its not ... is very frustrating

It has amazed me for years that Android doesn't let you set a custom curve for auto brightness.

Moto actions no-stock

Hi all, is there a way to keep moto actions on no-stock rom, whit a porting or something like this? Thanks in advance..

If you build a custom ROM based off of a stock build I believe you can. However I haven't found a custom ROM with the ability and believe it is closed source.

Well, is it something like the slowmo function that need some motorola stock libs for working, or it simply "a gesture" and nothing else? what i would to know is that if is enough fash some ported app like "moto" or "moto actions" for have gestures working on no-stock roms!

I tried just installing the moto apk for that but I get a popup saying not official Motorola device. The function is a mirror of ambient display sort of. Moto actions (chop chop, double twist) are already implemented in most custom ROMs for our device. (Including official CM)
Another user made a package for the moto camera and gallery with play store hooks, I'm gonna try that and installing moto with it. I'll report back.

Chop chop and double twist are what I'm talking about, and if you say that tery are already implemented on custom rom you have quite asked my question... For moto display, there is a xposed module working on the same way and for stock Motorola camera, when you try to flash it, take a look for the slowmo.. Thanks!

Glad I could help heh yeah they're called CMactions on custom ROMs.

The module it's called ac display, but.. I thinking about it, i remember that on CM 12.1 for moto g 2nd generation there is something very close this function, under "gesture" menu in display option, if I'm not mistaken... Try to take a look if you have this menu.. In this case, whit cm actions and cm gestures, the moto application it's useless, unless you use "do not disturb" function.. That if I'm not mistaken again, it's included on cm too!!!

You are doubly correct! [moto is absolutely useless, especially with the native Do Not Disturb settings from LP.]
(I turn off DT because it goes off so often in my pocket lol)
Thanks! I'm going to check that out, appreciate the share!

I'd love to see this running as a stand-alone flashable zip. It would be great to have on a N6! I believe they have most, if not all the necessary hardware, it just needs some libs and drm, probabaly

Well, there isn't nothing special hardware that N6 have not (unless your device hasn't accelerometer )
You cant try to ask in yor rom thread if somebody able to program can try to extract that functions from the CM for moto g 2015!!

Yes there is...the cpu, for example, has the ability to keep the display active while sleeping. There are differences, but I believe the N6 is essentially a twin of the retail Moto X, just in a different chassis.

Yes there is... the sensor hub in our device is the key here.
And all of that is coded on kernel drivers.
The app just listens to events from it.

Well... Different devices have different kernels due to different ram processor and other sensors.. But when a sensor like accelerometer or gyro are the same.. The function it might work on two different devices at the same way...

You can't.
Putting it simply: the IC in both devices doesn't have the set of instructions and physical capabilities to do it.

I'd like to clarify summary. Is it impossible to take stuff from Moto_device_tree and use it in Other_device_tree to activate Moto gestures?

Moto X Led enabler

Hi guys,
Just spotted this on the app store.
It allows you to use the built in led for notifications. Working on factory ROM but requires root.
I didn't make the app, just sharing..

There is significant drain with this app?

If you want blinking check out Tesla I added proper blink functionality over there I think most aosp Roms have picked it up now. I'll try to add it to stock eventually for the stock lovers

Any luck adding adding Moto X Pure to your list of supported devices? I'll definitely buy light flow if you do. Configurable front flash notification would be a big bonus. There's also a hidden notification light under the top speaker grill that could be utilized.

All red night mode?

On the fence with rooting but this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hankarun.nightmodewidget would push me over if it works on stock rooted rom. Anyone care to try and reports back?

It doesn't work. It only dims the screen. Color profile is unchanged. This feature is built into Resurrection Remix (maybe CM13 too, not sure) though.
Also, this app works and will do what you want without root: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.ne.hardyinfinity.bluelightfilter.free

Thanks. Bummer, the nightmode widget worked so well with my GN. With it only are red pixels used so resolution wasn't great but night vision was preserved. Kernel dependent unfortunately.
The overlay filters are helpful but not as effective for astronomy.
