Anyone know what registry entry to change to reduce the "Today Timeout". I want to change it to 1 min down from the minimum of 10 min in the UI.
Hi
How should I go about creating a toggle to turn brightness of Gear to max level and then to min level. This would be really useful outdoors and to save battery. At present I need to dig thru about 4 levels under the settings icon.
I would like to use my fire tablet as an alarm panel. Found a few apps that display full screen web pages, that works good. In the development options I turned on "stay awake" so the panel could always be on. After like 30 seconds of no using the screen just barley dims. I would like to dim the screen as much as possible after no use. Anyway to override this amount? I found several apps that can set the dim amount, but just by a schedule, not by inactivity. Or even a web browser app that can control the dimming when not in use?
Thanks a bunch!

Unfortunately, not possible on this device. Minimum brightness level set in kernel (possibly a panel/controller limitation) with no known workarounds (via Xposed). To date this is the only device I own that exhibits this behavior.
Thanks for that info Davey. Maybe I'll see if I can create my own app with a webview that will dim when not touched for a period of time. Since it seems an app can control the dim level. Thanks again.

Ah - so you are not experiencing any dimming vs dissatisfied with the minimum level. Couple thoughts:
- might be able to use an automation tool like Macrodroid or Edge (w/Xposed) to dim the screen on a particular action like last user action or time of day; Tasker (a fan favorite) can do this as well but is overkill for your needs IMO
- blue light filters can emulate deeper dimming levels but you won't realize the associated battery saving as backlight level remains untouched; the again you device is likely plugged in when used as an alarm clock
Unfortunately Macrodroid and Tasker can not listen for inactivity/idle events. Sounds like an Android limitation: http://macrodroid.freeforums.org/inactivity-period-as-trigger-t86.html
Not sure what Edge (w/Xposed) is, not finding that?
Thanks Davey!

Edge is a module for Xposed Framework. You might also consider a different trigger sequence than inactivity/idle, eg: touch, activity atart or time of day. Might need to get a little creative with the thinking
There are countless apps available that use a service to allow the lowering of the MIN screen brightness level but none offer an option to lower it without an app running.
I found the setting file for max_brightness but can't find a min brightness.
How can I set my minimum brightness level to 1 without an app?
This is tasker / macrodroid macro that lowers AOD / Ambient display brightness
Installation:
Unzip file
Extract any 2 profiles for your application of choice (tasker or macrodroid)
Import these 2 profiles to the app and enable them
To control the AOD brightness, edit intensity of extra dim in settings > accessibility
Requirements:
Rooted
Tasker or Macrodroid accessibility permission enabled
How it works:
The macro sets extra dim to ON when you turn off your screen so your AOD brightness will be low - when screen is turned on (even on lockscreen), extra dim is set to off and normal brightness is restored
This was tested on Poco F3 - Android 13 - CrDroid v9.5 but it should work on all android phones
