Is there anyway or anything that can allow me to adjust how long the display should stay dimmed.I know that there are plenty of apps that allows u to dim the screen manually but that's not what I'm looking for.
Thanks

I'm trying to decrease the screen's brightness as much as possible.
When specifying the brightness in Profiles (apk) the minimum allowed is 7%. Still it's too much for me in certain situations.
I'd prefer to have an option to completely minimize the brightness like in old phones when disabling back lit.
Is it possible with those new AMOLEDs?
Thanks.
I don't know about any other phones, but for our atrix, use an app called superdim from the market. lowers the brightness even more so than normally allowed.
Not exactly the most comfortable way to do. The Profiles should include this feature natively.
Anyway many thanks, it did dim the screen just fine.

Look for rogerpodacter's thread on manually lowering the brightness through terminal emulator. It works great and you can lower brightness of capacitive buttons too. Thing is it if you reboot you gotta redo it but it is not hard.

Hey everyone-
I'm looking for a way to reduce my backlight brightness further than the normal levels. I use my Evo as a night clock, but the minimum brightness still beacons a bit in a dark room. I believe this is possible, but I'm not sure what I'm missing. I tried out an app called RootDim from the market. It lets you move the slider from 0 - 255. The screen gets darker as you slide it backwards, but it stops dimming when you hit 30. Anything below that does nothing. I thought it might be a kernel issue, so I flashed the nolights kernel to test, but that didn't change anything.
I am also aware of screen filter, but that doesn't actually dim the backlight. Anyone out there no of a way to drop the minimum backlight level below 30?
EDIT: I should also mention that I'm using Android Revolution as my ROM. Thanks.
Been looking for the same thing as well. I was hoping RootDim would help , but I got the same results.
Have you tried DOCK mode ? It's a built in APP on HTC EVO 3D.
Do a Search for DOCK and try it. It runs in Lanscape mode and it
switches to a night mode after a few minutes or you can switch
manually via the lower right lower corner.

I tried that already. And I'm using Dock Mode. The problem is that even at minimum brightness, black color still lights up the room a bit. Considering that it stops dimming at < 30, I'm assuming there must be some way to get levels between 0 and 30 as well. I guess it stops at 30 as a safety net, to keep you from dimming it so much that you can't see the screen.
Bumping this. I feel like cyanogen let me go darker but I'm back on sense and am looking for a solution.
I use the Android Assistant app, free at Google Play. It will let me take the brightness down to 11. Not sure if this would be low enough for you. The control is in Tools, Save Battery.
Any update on this? Whenever I'm in a dark room my lowest brightness still seems too bright. Is there any way to get it darker?
Is there a way to add the Auto Adjust Screen Power setting to roms that do not have this setting? I would like to use some of these great roms but they are too dim for me. To see what I am talking about, if you have this setting, check mark it and you will see all the apps become very dim and for some reason all the roms that do not have this setting have it have this set by default with no way to uncheck it. It would be great if this could be added to all our roms cause my vision cannot take the strain of the dim screen.
Any devs listening?
I read in another phone thread there was a screen xml that controlled the level of auto brightness and could increase the level over 100% so you could see the screen better in daylight.
So it is possible but I have no skill or clue.
is there way how to lower my screen brightness level lower then stock? I want lower my screen brightness because I use my fone in dark a lot and my eyes get tired really fast. So I am looking for any mod or application which is capable of something like that.
screen filter
The minimum brightness level on this phone is quite a bit higher than other phones with OLED panels. Is there any way to change this? Using power saving mode with the screen at minimum brightness makes the screen a bit dimmer and so does inactivity so we know the screen definitely has the capability to go darker. Anyone know how we can make the brightness darker?
P.S no screen filter suggestions pls
I use Lux Auto Brightness, screen can go significantly darker

And that would work for me but the only issue is the software buttons at the bottom don't dim with the screen and it's really weird looking. That's why I said no screen filters, please.

It's not a screen filter, what would even make you think that? Plus it does dim the software buttons. Maybe it's because you don't have root?
If you on 7.0, try "Night Mode Enabler" from the PlayStore.
On my Z Play, the Lux app does not dim the buttons either. I don't have root. OTOH I don't recall seeing in the Lux documentation that it uses root for anything?
Also, I'm 90%+ certain that Lux *is* a screen filter. I say that because it differentiates between two ranges of brightness: "above zero" and "below zero". It seems likely that the "below zero" settings (which are necessary to get the display very dim at all) are modifying the display data rather than the system brightness setting. Of course, on an AMOLED screen this should be just as good... except for those darn buttons!!
BTW, all of this "night mode" stuff has, unfortunately, just confused the issue for those of us who need to preserve our night vision while using our phones. "Night mode" has come to mean "make the color temperature redder" because that seems to avoid some of the ill health effects of blue light at night. But it doesn't do squat to preserve night vision---for that you need to get the brightness way, way down. If you're trying to use your phone at the telescope, you're just as screwed as before, only now, the google search terms are more polluted, making it harder to find an actual solution.
