Lowering lowest display brightness setting

Is there any way to make set display's brightness level lower than slider in settings allows?
Why?
1) SGS's display got so much brightness and contrast that in low (or zero) light conditions it is simply too bright! It hurts eyes.
2) It might severely improve battery life.
Any gurus around? ^^

brightness to 0
If i remember, real mini is 8, max 255, i use Brightness level from Curvefish ( Market ), it seems to be the lowest i can get, an it's a 1X1 widget, not that horrible.
Dimmer Night mode , Market too, is another way to go.
Twice are free.

Thanks, working as intended
The best solution would be to allow 'auto' setting to go that low.

Yup even quick settings (free) from market allows to go uptil 18.

i use Dimmer. brightness is 10.

I use extended controls and it has multiple options to control brightness or switch between user and auto brightness settings. Not sure it goes lower than stock but i tested it today and i can get 7 hours of almost nonstop use out of a full battery. Thats a mix between navigation internet and calls. Thats good enouh for me.

From 1 to 17 theres no difference in brightness. 0 is screen off, 18 is lowest brightness,.... and so on up to 255.

Honor Play screen dimming

Hello, I have disabled adaptive brightness and when I open some apps, the screen starts automatically dimm a bit. When i exit the app, the brightness returns to normal. For example it does in Chrome, messenger, stock message app, stock dialer, youtube and many more. It does not do in Gallery, weather, camera. It's absolutely useless when im going to type in messenger and screen dimms so i can see it worse. Also i am watching youtube and screen dimms. I cannot understand what is this supposed to mean such nonsense feature.
I want to ask you if somebody of you has faced with this and if he figured it out somehow.
Ive already written to honor support , they answered nothing to the piont.
I was figuring out that when i turn adaptive brightness on, this doesnt do, the screen doesnt dimm when i open any app, but adaptive brightnes randomly fades my brightness setting after switching off the screen.
All i would like is what attributes i have to set to some app that i dont want to dimm. I cannot find this out.
Any suggestions thankfull.

"Online videos and games consume a significant amount of power and may cause your phone to heat up. As a result, your phone automatically decreases the screen brightness to prevent your phone from overheating. The brightness will return to normal when your phone cools down.
Some apps automatically adjust the screen brightness for better readability. For example, when you open Contacts or Messaging, the screen brightness is adjusted automatically even when automatic brightness is disabled."
" This function cannot be disabled"
"The screen changes color in direct sunlight.
When the ambient brightness reaches a certain level (such as direct sunlight), the screen brightness and contrast are automatically increased for better readability. This feature cannot be disabled."

Yes and this is bad. Something like answer from honor support. But also messenger goes darker and it has nothing to do with overheating. When i switch on the adaptive brightness this dimming doesnt do with any app. Also with adaptive brightness off some apps do not dim as if they'd have an exception of this. It is very bad that it cant be disabled this makes this phone completely useless for everyday use because readability goes worse when it goes darker.

Same here
Yup, I have the same. I just keep the Automatic adjustment "on" so it stopes dimming. Which is anti-intuitive. You would expect this dimming beeing caused by that Automatic setting not the opposite. Let's hope they will sort it soon.

Unfortunately its the special feature implemented in firmware called "eye care" as they replied me from honor support. It needs to tell them to switch it off at [email protected]

It seems that Velis Auto Brightness app from Google Play Store does the trick (Honor 10 Stock Pie).
Settings:
Automatic brightness: ON
track light in graph: ON
SETTINGS: (advanced):
Automatic brightness: ON
Disable system handler: ON
Start when screen turns ON: ON
Interactive notification: ON
All other settings off/default.
When you turn off the screen and turn it on, go for the first time in notification area and set your desired value in Velis.
Turn off automatic handling of this app in battery section (app start).

Check in the developer settings for the current value of "Increase readability under sunlight".

Hello, that setting in notification area really worked for me, thanks. But the slider Is in steps 66% , 73%, 80% I cannot adjust it per one % but nevermind, at last this helped me.
edit: after one day testing I noticed that it doesnt work. It still dimms the apps.

Hi, it's a pitty that it does not work.. Maybe Velis app is killed by app manager? As i wrote, try to disable any battery management for Velis app. Do you see after that 1 day Velis slider in notification area? If not, it is likely killed by system app manager.
And yes, it is true that the screen can be adjusted only bys steps.
In my case more than a week for honor 10 (EMUI 9) with Velis and still no any screen dimming issues in any app.

Velis was running but the apps start to dimm anyway I dont know what happened. Even when I set brightness in notification area in Velis, apps dimmed.

Download Lower Brightness Filter :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nu.lower.brightness&hl=en_US
Enable the permission and set brightness to 100%.
Then select brightness in phone to auto and restart the phone.
Then select desired brightness.
edit : it doesnt work....

Turn on Advanced visual effect.
I used to have the same problem too. Simply just go to setting>smart accessibility>accessibility>Advanced visual effect>turn on.
If it doesn't work go to developer option and make sure the window animation, transition animation and animation duration are set to 1x.
To enable the developer option, go to setting>about phone>build number>tap until it shows u are now a developer.
Hope it does help u.

Hello, I had it already turned on , in developer options I have all animations set to 1x, but it dimms the screen on my Honor Play with android 9.

Before we can fix that via ADB but now is not possible. If anyone has a better fix please share

[INFO] How horizon notification light works

For those interested to learn how this was implemented by OnePlus.
In OP's AOD view there is a FrameLayout taking the whole screen space with initial Y scale set to 0.
The FrameLayout contains 2 bitmaps. One for left edge and another one for right edge (attached).
When notification comes, ValueAnimator is started which updates Y scale continuously from 0 to 2 making
the bitmaps stretch vertically from zero size to full screen height size and even beyond (2 times screen height).
At the same time, alpha is calculated from the current Y scale and applied (serves for fading in/out bitmaps based on current Y scale value).
ValueAnimator animation duration is set to last for 2 seconds.
That's basically it.

2 seconds? Mine are maybe lighting up a second. Just a small glimpse so that I don't even see it most of the times.
Wish we could adjust it more, like on Samsung Devices.

Can a magisk module be made that will loop this animation until the notification is cleared? I really miss having a notification led on this device

It's part of AOD screen (Ambient display) so it would be necessary to keep the screen alive.
Current OP's AOD implementation is a big mess from what I've seen in the code.
I had it enabled for a while but the only visible element was a fingerprint icon (without burn-in protection).
No pulsing that is part of native AOD in AOSP since OP's AOD is forcibly suppressing this mode in current implementation.
I now understand why they did not include this mode - it's far from functional and needs quite a lot of work. Their statement that they are looking for a battery friendly solution is just an excuse for the masses. They need to fix the basic functionality before working on optimizations.

Any way for us to swap it out and probably replace it with something else ?

There's a few is alwaysonsupported checks that hide certain views if always on is enabled, the clock being one of them. If you remove these checks you can get the clock to show, but the drain is horrendous. It's not a doze mode at all, rather OnePlus just displaying a different view when it is enabled.

Nope, it depends on animations speed setted on developer settings
If you deactivate the animations, this never appear

Huawei P30 Pro camera: trouble using the exposure slider

EDIT: (solution)
The problem was (most likely) that I had all Animation scale = off (under Developer options).
Specifically, "Animator duration scale" must be set to a minimum of .5x for the exposure slider to work. The others can be left off.
ORIGINAL POST:
—
Using P30 Pro with EMUI 10.
The exposure slider (in Photo mode) fails half the time. I tap on the sun icon and drag it up or down: sometimes it works as expected, and but frequently the exposure bar and numbers appear for a split second and vanish. I have to keep re-tapping the focus and trying the exposure again and again.
I've tried different ways of tapping, holding, and dragging it but doesn't seem to matter. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
I'm a new member and can't post URLs, but there's a short video on Imgur:
imgur [dot ] com/a/D2ANnkW
Anyone else have this problem? I haven't seen anything about it online and tons of people have this phone, so I wonder if it's related to the new EMUI 10 update (I don't know if it happens in EMUI 9).

Doesn't happen here on 10.0.0.173, but there is something even worse. When I click the shutter button the hole Ui disappears and I have to click the screen again to take a photo. Does that happen to you too?
