Oreo vs. Pie Display Brightness - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

I'm currently using Resurrection Remix Oreo 6.2.1-20181003 and have been wanting switch to Pie for some time now. For some reason my display isn't as bright when using any Pie ROM like it is in Oreo. I have to turn the brightness up in Display settings to 80-90% to match the same brightness as 35-40% in my Oreo ROM. I've checked all settings that I know including Adaptive Brightness, LiveDisplay, Ambient and Ambient Display but it still is very dim.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

[Q] [Tab Pro 8.4] Best settings for Lux auto brightness?

I wasn't satisfied with the stock auto brightness feature on my Tab Pro 8.4 (too bright at night, sometimes too low in day time). I installed Lux Auto Brightness which provides much more control over the screen brightness. With my current settings (Auto day/night profile switch, dynamic brightness adjustment), the default night settings work extremely well but the default day settings seem too bright.
Has anyone tried to optimize the settings of this app on a Tab Pro 8.4? If so, could you post your settings and adjustments?

Lolipop Screen 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.

Is auto brightness working good ?

I seach many threads but in my case it works but I have a probleme for having the REAL auto brightness with my Z3C.
I mean... If I disable the auto brightness in display settings an put the maximum brigtness it's very high, and when I check the auto brightness and put the brightness (notification bar) to maximum and switch between auto and not auto... YES there is a difference, the auto mode is less bright, so yes the auto brightness option works because i see a difference... I gess
BUT... at night when the room is COMPLETLY dark (yes because I sleep in the dark lol) the brightness is very bright for me, too bright. And I go to the notification bar and put it at less... but wait! This not my definition of "auto brightness" if I have to manage it. For me (maybe I'm weird, tell me) if auto brightness is enabled, when the light sensor see a COMPLETE DARK room the brightness should be at minimum, am I right???
And, with all my previous smartphones, the auto mode was with the brightness bar in notifications bar and if I check the auto mode, the brightness setting bar is desabled... and if I setup the brighness bar, the auto brightness check is disabled... etc
So why my Z3C haven't an real auto brightness? Why can I enable the option in settings but set the brightness bar too? Why in a complete dark the brightness is too high and not at minimum? Because in the morning in the dark if I set it at minimum, later I have to set it more bright because it's too low at the day ligh... BUT I'M IN AUTO MODE IN THE DISPLAY SETTINGS!!!
It's like I have the auto mode and the right to set the brightness too... not logic! If I check the auto mode it's because I don't want to setup brighness bet the device must do it for me like my others phones...
Is it normal?
Thank you for help...
Its normal, auto brightness on the Z3 has a very narrow range of auto adjustment. So exactly like you are saying its either too bright at night or too dark in bright light. Do yourself a favor and use the app LUX, I think there is a free version to try. My auto brightness now works as it should, bright enough to read in sunlight and dim at night so I'm not blinded. You can tweak the values for every type of.light you are in, works great.
Do you have Lollipop on your phone?
Do you know that in Lollipop there is no Auto-Brightness anymore, there's "Adaptive Brightness", and it scales less, which explains your experience (and you're not the only one)?

It's was called something with "adaptive" in Kitkat, too.
You can just set the slider to the minimum, then it won't be too bright in the dark and it'll get bright enough in sunlight...

Auto brightness with 5.1.1

When I got my TAB S2 it was with 5.0.2 and I was able to increase or decrease how auto brightness works with a slider in notification tray. After flashing T710XXU2BOJ1 (5.1.1) if I use the slider with auto brightness turned on it will turn off the auto brightness This is a bit annoying because I like to use auto brightness and now can correct it if it's not doing a good job :/ Is this a 5.1.1 feature or a bug and I should do a factory reset?
P.S. If I do a factory reset on rooted firmware will I loose root ?
Ok, to answer my question it's a bad feature off 5.1.1. Will have to do for now, maybe 6.0.1 some day will fix it

The whole point of auto brightness is just that "auto" the slider is disabled because the OS adjusts the brightness based on the light in the enviroinment.
If you are in a dark room it will dim, outside it will go bright. If you move the slider the device assumes you then want to use manual brightness and disables the auto brightness and then adjusts the brightness of the screen based on where the slider is positioned.
This is the way Samsung devices work. (I have had several over the years and currently have a Note 4, a Tab S 8.4, and this Tab S2)
How are you expecting the slider to function when auto brightness enabled?
The slider is suppose to be for manual brightness.
The auto brightness slider still allows for manual adjustment on 5.0.2.
-5 to +5 to set the level to your liking whilst still maintaining auto brightness mode.

Exactly, any way I could have this with 5.1.1? Maybe some xposed module?

I think I recall there being some form of auto brightness audjustment fix in the downloadable modules. I can't link you as I don't have it installed currently.
Couldn't find it ?

Auto Brightness app superior to Samsung with Oreo?

I find the current Note 8 auto-brightness on oreo to be abit slow to react and not very consistent. Are there any 3rd party app that will work well with the Note 8 on oreo (not rooted) that is more consistent and responsive then Samsungs?
I think you should go to
Setting
Display
Auto brightness
Then tap on Auto brightness
After that tap on Reset usage pattern...
It should keep the brightness consistent again.
I don't think that you should install third party stuff for this..
