Hey guys
In my old phone the galaxy ace there was something known as render effect which would change the visual color of the screen.
Is possible to get it in the S3?
I basically need the night mode. I use my phone a lot in the night with zero secondary light hence the screen is too bright even on minimum brightness.
I tried screen filter app... But beyond certain limit you can't read anything on the screen
The night mode + screen filter was my settings during the night to reduce brightness on my old phone.
How can I get it on the S3?
"Render Effect Galaxy Ace" brings up no worthwhile results, so I have no idea what specific effect you're on about, but the app Galactic Night has some effects. If you're running the Siyah Kernel or Perseus, they also support custom mDNIE profiles, so if you have a lot of time...
I just want something that will lower my screen brightness
Similar to screen filter app
With Lux you can lower the screen brightness below the stock minimum (automatically our manually) .

Works great.
During night time it is very useful it can decrease your brightness to EXTREME LOW.

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?
Running ViperRez. Is there a way to make the screen any dimmer than the current lowest setting? . I find it is still too bright at night.

I remember it getting quite dim but you should search for a mod or script.
This should be in the Q&A Section though, not development. Happy searching.

get yourself an app like notification toggle or do it manually in brightness settings. automatic brightness isn't great cause it's always checking light levels every to confirm if brightness needs to be increased or decreased. notification toggle will allow any percentage and as many levels as you want. I use 10,15,20,25,40,50 and 100
youre gonna want to get this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor&feature=nav_result#? t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5oYXhvciJd. its free and it works perfectly and you can make it as dim as you want, even to the point where you cant see the screen on at all, i used to use it to text at night all the time. It also should save your battery, i could go two plus hours screen on time on wifi and be in the high 70s for battery on my inc 2
Quicker. It has screen dim in it. I use it every night.

This works perfectly! Thanks for the help.
I use screen filter too, but keep in mind that it only draws a dark overlay on your screen to let out less light. The LED back light is still at the same level, but less light escapes. So, it really doesn't help your battery since we don't have AMOLED screens.
Chainfire 3D has a "Night Mode" filter if you want to give that a try too: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.cf3d
The free version currently has a red-, green-, or blue-only RGB channel filter, as well as Amber and Salmon colored filters. You can fully adjust the RGB values of the filter in the Pro version.
Oddly, there is no "balanced coloring" grayscale filter. Would need to use the previously mentioned app or buy the Pro version and adjust the RGB values equally.
Fun to try out at any rate.
I use Lux. It allows you to reduce screen brightness to completely black and unreadable. I don't know but I don't think it justs adds a transparent black overlay to make it look darker. It seems to actually adjust the brightness below the minimum allowed without the app. Here's a link to it in the market (there is a paid and free version) https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ps#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEwOSwiY29tLnZpdG8ubHV4Il0.
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.
Hello, I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and I've had this annoying problem ever since I got this phone in 2017. The screen brightness keeps changing automatically even though I turned off auto brightness.
https://streamable.com/c5q9w
Here is a video example. As you can see, the brightness changes by itself when covering the light sensor, even though auto brightness is set to off. It might be hard to see the difference in the video but it's quite noticeable in real life.
Is there a way to fix this?
