Solved :- Screen brightness set to zero without root - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

Hi, This is my first thread, I thought this may be useful for the newbies like me.
This thread is all about how you can set the screen brightness set to zero without root which may be useful in saving your battery..... (As usual , I dont take any responsibility if you brick your Phone, Although I found nothing in this trick which may do so :0 )
Here you go,
1. Download and install elixer widget from market.
2. Go to home screen , long press and add elixir 1X1 widget
3. Click on gray box having "X"
4. Scroll to "brightness toggle" and select
5. You will have a pop up saying "Level" and in the text area "auto 25 50 75 100"
6. Change 25 to 00 , make sure you have space in between digits (i.e. between 00 and 50)
7. Then select "create"
8. Now, on home screen you will have widget saying your current screen brightness.
9. Click on the widget until you have 00 after clicking. (SEE NOTE FOR TROUBLESHOOTING)
10. Thats all.
NOTE - IF YOUR SCREEN GOES BLANK AND DOES NOT WAKEUP AFTER ANY BUTTON THAN JUST LOCK (KEYPAD AND SCREEN LOCK) YOUR PHONE WITH PHYSICAL BUTTON (ON RIGHT UPPER SIDE FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE) AND THEN JUST UNLOCK IT. NOW IT SHOULD BE FINE AND YOU HAVE SCREEN BRIGHTNESS SET TO 00 WITHOUT ROOT. YOU CAN SAFELY REMOVE THE ABOVE MENTIONED SOFTWARE AND WIDGET WITHOUT CHANGING YOUR SCREEN BRIGHTNESS.THIS TRICK IS CHECKED AND FOUND WORKING ON GALAXY ACE AND GALAXY SL.
CLICK THANKS IF YOU FIND THIS USEFUL.

00 = absolutely no backlight or the minimum amount of backlight permitted?

00 means
00 means minimum amount of screen light (not the absolute black out) which we cant usualy be able to set through regular settings in display menu of phone.

Why don't you just use Screen Filter?

If you're working in the dark, this hardware setting saves battery. Screen filter won't help save battery. You could have your hardware brightness to maximum but screen filter very low and it still drains a lot because that's how LCD works.

When I was using screen filter battery drain was a lot lower.

Yes, I agree with consegregate, with setting brightness set to ZERO we can save battery and that to without any application running in background for it as it is mearly a hardware setting. So no background application means less RAM consuption, less drain of battery as compared to screen filter.

is it possible to get a lower brightness than the lowest brightness on setting?

With above steps , you may get the brightness to zero, this level is the brightness which you can not usually achieve through regular display menu in the phone settings. But lower than zero is not possible with my above method.

[Q] Tap screen to wake up?

Hello All,
Is there an app that can dim the screen of my Archos 101, and return the screen to predefined brightness with the touch of the screen?
My device is mounted on a wall and the power button is hard to get too, so having a screen dimmer that can return the screen to normal use seems like the way to go.
Or what about the screen never going to sleep, but have it do an auto dim down after a set amount of time and with the touch of the screen it returns to normal usage?
At this point I would settle for work around.
T.I.A.
u may try the app "tasker" wich has a function for brightness level...
so u can at set an idle time to turn it down,.. and hopefully also one to "unidle" or screen tap. Sadly im not sure about that exactly as i dont use takser frequently... just try it out
I also remeber an app wich was able to set a little overlay area to the screen on wich u could slide to turn up/down brightness - so u can slide down to turn it off - and up to turn it on (or left/right,...).
Will search if i can find its name... cant remember atm.
Both methods would require to disable auto turn off on idle function...
As u can WAKE UP the device with the screen while it's in sleep.
Hello FrEcP!
Thanks for the reply.
Will look at Tasker now, seems to be many options so I will need to sit down and have tea to figure this out
Screen Filter
Allows you to even set the level to dim screen to. Simple tap on it to dim, and another tap to make it normal.
Hello diablo009,
Thanks, that may be what I need!
I bought Tasker cause it is important to support our developer
Tasker did make and is still causing my brain to tingle!
Will give Screen Filter a try too.

Screen filter is more like a manual one. You got to click on it to enable or disable it.
O.K. so I tried Screen filter and it is a 50/50 solution. Yes it does dim the screen but it is manual whereas I ned something more automatic.
As for Tasker, I have drunk two pots of tea, and energy drink, and gone through two days and still this powerful app is a bit of a challenge to setup.
Anyone with experience setting up Tasker?
OBJECTIVE:
1. After 10 minutes of idle have display dimm to 50% brightness, and never shut-off.
2. With the tap of the screen have display return to 100% brightness.
In exchange for help I would be willing to baking you homemade cupcakes!

yes another problem with screen filter is - it just sets an over lay in gey color - wich means actualy your screen still is at fully brightness (wich is annoying at night /u still got an ugly high glow of the backlight + doesn't save power [k is minor for a wallmount - but still should be considered] )
Well if you would have told that (objectives) more early - your solution would have been more easy
I thought u wanted to completely turn off the screen while being idle....
Anyway:
Settings->Display->Display Timeout->10min
Settings->Display->Brightness->full
Settings->Applications->Development->Always stay on/Stay active...->true
Does exactly what u want - after the timeout (10min) the screen dims (to about 50% or lower) - sadly i can't tell how to affect this value (but it seems its the lowest value the default brightness controll, let u set)
On touch - u got the full brightness... till timeout is reached again.
Device wont ever go to sleep.
Hello FrEcP,
Your instructions worked!
50% auto dim is more on target than before, and I return to baking
Apologies for not being more clear in the beginning.
This is from the Taker Forum:
"Unfortunately you can't do this, Android doesn't provide APIs for apps
to test idle time or respond to screen taps (unless it's in their own
UI)."
Thank you again FrEcP, and diablo009!
You help to make this forum rock solid with your sharing.
workaround with screen filter works fine
I use Screen Standby on my Xoom tablet for this exact same feature. It allows you to set at what time the tablet automatically dims. I have it set for 5 minutes. And then I just tap the screen with my finger and it wakes up. It is also nice to note that tapping the screen does not push any buttons but rather just wakes the device.

Select Camera
Then get back to main settings menu
Tap on Mopdify linked samples
Tap on Luma TAB
Tap on ADD, set brightness (yello bar) to 4% Luma value to 1 and press ADD
Add 3 more links with these values= 35%-70|100%-80|50%-120|
Exit Lux
Tasker:
Open Tasker, tap on Plus Gign(+) on main screen
Tap on Event
Select Display in Event Category

Thats all work to do, now your dvice have Auto Brightness feature:silly:
To test, just press power button and lock the screen and then cover front camera with finger and press power button again, screen will Light up wait 1-2 seconds, Screen brightness will reduce, remove finger, lock unlock screen and brightness will resume to normal.
I have tested this for full day on my L9 and got no any battery drainage.
You can modify Linked Samples Values to your comfort zone for batter sample values you can also search other XDA forums.
Guys try it and let me know how you feel
if you got any issue please post, I'll try to solve it (Coz m also new to TASKER & LUX so may be it will take little bit time to Solve:fingers-crossed
EDIT: You can uncheck "Presistent notification" in general settings of Lux Auto Brightness, If you think it is draining your phone's battery. This will also disable the annoying Lux icon from notification.
HIT THANKS IF I DESERVE IT
Another mod we miss in our L9 just got fixed.
thanks for sharing
i'll try it as soon as i can and report back.
Is this battery hungry workaround ? Two apps must run in background so they must eat battery .
Is it possible to have a refresh .. for example every 10 minutes camera will check light to set brightness?
Found it's in lux settings!

No, I have tested this yesterday for full day and haven't noticed any battery drainage coz of these apps. According to me, besides draining battery this MOD should save battery by adjusting it according to Ambient Light.

Yes Mr.Brown, you can set automatic refresh in general settings, but I'll never suggest you use automatic mode, it could drain your phones battery.

Yes bleuwavem you are absolutely right, that's why I am using tasker to initiate refresh process on display on. If you use lux individually then it will slow down your phone and drain the battery. In my tutorial actually lux is not running in background (if it is running you can kill it). Tasker plug in triggers it to refresh the brightness. Coz i have used it for hole day and currently using, I have not face any issues with device performance. If anyone body faced any issue can post here i'll try to solve it.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
in which condition you want set your brightness 40%. Like if you want to set brightness 40% in normal day light then, when you are in normal day light, go to Lux, tap on modify linked samples, tap on Luma. Here you will see Current Value: with some digits showing. Now here hold your phone in normal light and click on "tap to refresh". it will say reading for a second and then it will show you a value, mine was 118. Note that value. Now tap on add at the bottom. In "Add custom link" box, drag and adjust brightness (Yellow Bar) to 40% and in Luma enter value you have noted. then tap on Add. thats all, now your normal daylight brightness is 40%.
Try it:highfive:
My device works just wake mod only....i do not understand why need tasker app, works without
Noob Question: Why does a lux value of 120 set a brightness of 50% in the tutorial? I've set it to 100% for now till you reply.
Great solution OP! Also, why do we need tasker to force display brightness when there is a setting for adjust brightness on wake in the lux settings? Is it because it doesn't adjust it sometimes?
---------- Post added at 11:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------
I've also noticed that direct sunlight throws the lux reading off....(lux value becomes lower in direct sunlight than in shade in the same area)

Yes bleuwave your right, I used Tasker for two reasons, first as you mentioned Lux's auto brightness Don't works some tims, so tasker force it to adjust. Second reason is this that using tasker you no need to keep lux app running in background, coz if we keep it running in backgroung it will slow down phone performance and drain it's battery. Using tasker you will never miss auto adjustment

i have set 50% Brightness with value of 120, coz 120 is normal day light reading, so in normal day light 50% brightness is good enough to see the screen. 50% brightness is also no drain battery.
Yes this behave of lux also amazed me. it shows light reading value 80 in direct sunlight, in shade it shows 120. But the settings i have done, are working like charm even in sunlight also. as per my observation reason of low reading value in direct sunlight may be auto brightness setting of front camera ....What do you think about this..
Thank you very much....now my phone has auto brightness

Hmm ... it is strange today Lux Auto stoped - it just don't work . And I must say that combo of those to programs eats battery ,maybe for the reason I have not stock kernel ?

Yes sebx its strange, Stock kernel may be an issue for this. I will suggest you to change some settings in Lux, keep every thing disabled in Lux settings, because Tasker is enough capable to run its services automatically and keeping everything disable in lux will reduce battery consumption also, so change setting and try it again.

[MOD] Minimum Brightness

Change the minimum brightness level from usual 10 to 1. It doesn't modify the autobrightness level map so automatic brightness won't be lowered (though it can be easily adjusted on CM11).
This is so far exactly the same as GravityBox offers (modifying 'config_screenBrightnessSettingMinimum').
But Minimum Brightness offers one unique feature - it also modifies the lower brightness levels in MX Player (free/paid). Because no matter whatever you use manual or auto brightness, MX Player always uses minimum brightness of 0.05 (12/255, 19/255, 27/255, 36/255...). To actually lower the brightness, you would have to turn off brightness control in MX Player or use one of many 'overlay filter brightness app'.
So Minimum Brightness module retains the same quadratic function for brightness levels but includes lower values (1/255, 4/255, 9/255, 16/255, 25/255...).
Minimum Brightness uses value 1/255 which might not be suitable for every display (meaning LCD) but it suits perfectly my Super AMOLED screens (Galaxy S5 / Galaxy Tab S 8.4) and watching videos at night is still enjoyable.
There are many excellent auto brightness apps (Lux, Darker etc) that can use overlay filters to lower brightness even more so it's up to everyone to try and decide.
This module has been merged into new module http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-xposed-tweaks-cm-t3279109. Please check that module for any future updates.
Hello! Thanks for the mod, I will test
Works very nice on Xperia Z2, however minimum brightness is absolute darkness Could you please add an option to define minimum brightness value?

The situation is the same on my Xperia SP. When I set the brightness to miniumum the screen is totally black, also when the backlight decreases after 10 seconds screen gets black.
Hi! Tried min brightness but when screen is set to the lowest level, I get a white screen after locking the phone.
Sent from my DIAMOND D1 using XDA Free mobile app
Really great tweak!! I'm noobie in Android enviroment with my new Elephone P3000S and the lowest screen brightness is to high for me so your tweak is very usefull.
I also have the issue that the lowest brightness level sets the screen completly black and I have been scared for 1 hour truing to solve a completely black, touching all buttons but the phone didn't "wake up". Finally, pressing power buttom + volumen up + home soft key it has worked :angel:
So it would be very important to prevent black screen by allowing the user to set the minimun level.
Thanks!
Hey, I know making GUI is a pain in the ass so can you please make alternative version with minimum brightness set to 2? That will satisfy most of people complaining here. Your app is currently the only dimmer working on lollipop.

How to disable this module...?
I installed this module last night, enabled it in Xposed Framework, but did nothing with it. Then this afternoon I opened the Settings menu, went to Display, and before I could do anything else I received a phone call. As I terminated the call, the screen flashed, the phone rebooted--and after restarting it is completely, or almost completely blank. If I repeatedly tap the power button I get a fraction-of-a-second glimpse of the SIM PIN screen at normal brightness. This leads me to the suspicion that, by some weird combination of bad luck and an accidental touch of a finger after terminating the phone call, that the Minimum Brightness somehow got set--although why the phone then rebooted I don't know.
Anyway, by luck and good judgement I finally managed to enter the correct SIM PIN and then the phone unlock PIN. However, I can do nothing else. The screen is still blank, and as the phone is currently unlocked I don't want to touch the power button. Before sending the phone back to the manufacturer or anything drastic like that, I would like to try disabling the Xposed Framework. Whilst trying to find something useful in Windows Explorer I found Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip in the Internal storage\Android\data\de.robv.android.xposed.installer\files folder on my phone. I assume that this should be what I need. However, as I cannot see anything on the screen I would need to know the exact buttons to press, in which order and how many times etc, in order to enter the Recovery menu and do what is needed. According to the phone manufacturer the OS is unmodified Android 4.4.2., although strangely they will not even tell me which keys to press to enter the Recovery menu (long story, the upshot is, they flat out refuse to help apart from suggesting returning the phone).
Note that I only suspect it is the Minimum Brightness module that is causing the problem, however the problem did not exist before yesterday (when I installed the module), and as I was about to do something with the brightness when the phone rebooted itself, it seems too much of a coincidence to be anything else. If I cannot disable the module/framework, the only other thing I can think of is a factory reset--but again I would need to know exactly which buttons to press, in which order etc. Unfortunately at the moment USB debugging is not enabled, and again without the screen I cannot access it to turn it on.
Any help or suggestions hugely appreciated.

@Papalazzzaru
Xposed now sports a safemode which allows you to disable Xposed during bootloops. To disable Xposed, you'll have to repeatedly tap one of the hardware buttons (Power, Volume, or Home) on your device during startup.
During boot, your device will vibrate twice when it detects the first key press. You'll then have five seconds to press that same button four more times, with each keystroke producing a short single vibration. After ending with a long vibration, your device will disable and prevent most of Xposed's actions, allowing you to easily troubleshoot problematic modules.
Sorted
Outstanding, thanks.

I want my phone be absolute zero brightness for driving navigation.
Tested it on CM12.1 Nightly on the Nexus 6. It works here, but on 0 the screen is a bit purple. However, I guess this is the screen's fault

Yes it works
This module seems to be working well on the Moto X Pure Edition (Motorola xt1095) running Lollipop 5.1. It's an AMOLED screen, and I personally find the minimum brightness on 5.1 too bright, so this has helped solve that.

Screen Burn Issue(not exactly but similar)

I am facing screen burn kind of issue on my Redmi Note 4 Qualcomm version, whenever i use app for instance Twitter for a period of time say 10-15 minutes and when i exit the app the Twitter heading in the app is clearly visible even though the app is killed.
Same happens with my keyboard,the Google logo on Gboard is always visible after typing and exiting keyboard.
This occurs with every other app i use.
I can remove this by using the screen burn fix app but it occurs again.
Any permanent solution in this?
This is screen retention and I read you can fix it with"cool" profile in calibration settings or changing screen calibration.
Thanks mate
Will tell if solution works or not.
what mean screen burn...... i dont understand
This is Image Retention (Screen Burn In). Flash Custom ROMs and adjust Color Temperature, or use any Screen Overlay app or Get screen Replaced.
See this - https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/fix-display-burn-issue-redmi-note-4-t3703996
Found Fix
I found the solution.. Just flash havoc rom will fk kernal.. Use smart pixel feature. Set the smart pixel setting to 25 percentage... And in display setting go to colour and set all the value to 95 percentage.. Done ??
What is "cool" profile? Or how can I change calibration?

Press bixby for MAX BRIGHTNESS/OUTDOOR MODE

If you haven't realised, the S10's amazing screen quickly dims a lot when the device heats up, even by performing simple tasks so i came up with a simple fix to keep it locked to MAX unless changed using brightness slider or Adaptive (Auto) Brightness
Searching the /sys/ partition i found the brightness setting.
So, the idea is to press Bixby to activate MAX brightness/Outdoor Mode
Download and install your rightfully owned "Button Remapper" from flar2 in the playstore. # YOU NEED TO BE ROOTED TO USE THIS #
Go ahead and setup, and then click on bixby single press, and click advanced; then root command. And enter the following:
Code:
echo '48599' > /sys/class/backlight/panel/brightness
Wallah!
Your brightness will max out when you press bixby. Just make sure you turn off adaptive brightness beforehand as it will override what you did! And you can use the brightness slider to change the brightness easily again.
(Do bear in mind, your phone will heat up more than usual but thats it, just be slighly cautious and if your phone ever happened to heat up excesively, id suggest the battery not going over 50 degrees celcius as it can damage the lifespan) Me personally, had no issues. Just fantastic to squeeze out a bit of extra brightness when you need it.
Hope this helps !!
Worked like a charm XD

hey, i know this is a quite old, but s10+ manual max brightness is 300, when it enters high brightness mode it goes up to 700. My question is with root and some commands can i make 700 available through the brightness slider? So i can use 400,500,600 too instead of jumping from 300 to 700?
