Why is on every CM10 ROM i have tried screen so damn dark? On highest settings, it not even on half of brightness of stock ROM. And when its sun outside, black turns to purple so i have to lower brightness to half... Why is screen brightness so low on every CM10 and is there any fix for that...? And overall screen quality just seems low comparing to my old LG P500. And especialy that this phone should have bravia engine that makes its screen better than most other similar phones.
I am currently using ParanoidAndroid 2.37 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963556 with Lupus kernel.
Also phone is LWW.

Bravia Engine works properly only on stock based ROMs... we can get it via Pimp My ROM to work on CM but it doesn't make a difference...
And I don't know about PA... but the brightness in CM is much greater than stock ROM

The was a fancy little option in CM7 (not sure if it is anywhere else) where you could edit the brightness values your screen would display dependent upon the amount of ambient light it detected. Is there such a thing for doing so on the TBolt? I feel like if that could be accomplished, batt life would improve significantly. It may just be a feature of CM7 only and/or wishful thinking. Thankssssssssssssss!
[see attachment for what I am talking about]
Edit: From mister Layher himself via twitter. Shut her (the thread) down.
@HKYZLYF that's a #cm7 feature. I think in sense all you can do is pick between auto or none. I think.
the auto brightness is really BULL**** too. It doesnt get bright enough in light and is too bright when its dark. it really sucks
I have ongoing problems with eyestrain. Back-lit screens seem to be the issue. Have you found the SGS2 better or worse in regard to eyestrain, if this is an issue for you. I would really like the SGS2, but I may go with the Sensation if its screen may be better for me. Is max brightness on the SGS2 bearable? Reducing brightness seems to increase flicker on LED screens.
Does the job very nicely,

Is it possible to keep SGS2 brightness at max and then use this app on top to make it appear darker? Or is Screen Filter just a replacement for the SGS2 brightness control that allows further dimming than minimum, or does it work differently?
Thanks
I havent noticed flicker on the S2's screen on normal usage unless I open up specific test patterns for flickering like this site
http://www.techmind.org/lcd/
It of course is to dimming it over min brightness for easier night reading without any sort of strain, haven't used with Max brightness as even 25% is too bright for me for normal usage and then that app with Auto brightness for night readings/browsing
Regards.

Oh. I thought maybe it worked differently since on the app description it talks about applying a "shade" over the screen.
It might work for me if it did not actually dim the LED, but "filtered" the information to be displayed so that it came out less bright. I don't know how exactly that would work, and I guess if this "software" dimming was available then manufacturers would already be using it.
I've decided to go with the HTC Sensation. I figure that the SGS2 will either be the worst or the best phone in regards to eye strain, and it's not worth the risk. Kind of bummed out since I had my heart set on the SGS2 but hey everyone keeps saying that they're both great phones.
Both phone are great but i dont seem to experience eye strain on sgs2 seems good to me...imho
I really cant find an answer to this problem and I hope you guys can help. Reading the reviews of neo it seems like the reviewers are divided on the brightness of the screen. GSMarena reports a stunning over 500 nits brightness. GSMarena also states the neo has the highest contrast of any LCD on a phone, if this is true how come it's not talked about much?
Now some other reviews like phonearena are saying the display is dim and doesnt do well in sunlight? Basically some reviews say the display is stunning crisp bright etc and then some say that it's dim and just average, what gives?
Since SE keeps changing the implementation with updates I want to know from those running the latest version. I know you cant disable auto-brightness without rooting but I want to know one thing.
If I lets say keep the brightness at 70% does this mean that it will work between 0-70% and will never go above 70% even in sunlight?
Does the auto-brightness disable completely at 100%?
Does the latest firmware allow maximum brightness without rooting and installing that app which boosted brightness?

1: Yes
2: Yes
3: No
Also, without root, the brightness will also have a higher minimum. If I disable auto-brightness, I can lower the brightness so much that the display has no backlighting at all.
So how come gsmarena's xperia neo was so damn bright without rooting and anything? Did SE change it's maximum brightness with an update? Just how dumb can SE get.
use the se tweaked 8.5 rom it disables that damn light sensor and let's you set brightness to 100% it looks awesome and vibrant @ full brightness
I use this, works great (root needed)
Would you guys agree with GSMarena's test that xperia neo has the highest contrast LCD on any phone right now?
HOX+ even when on brightness 100% does not allow for comfortable reading in direct sunlight. (compared to the iphone, HOX+ is a joke). Is there a way to increase the brightness past 100% ? On the HOX for instance, i used Jotha's Advanced power menu with autobrightness; when flashing APM pure (meaning without autobrightness patch) my screen lights up drastically and allows for direct sunlight reading.
Jotha's MOD has some issue on the HOX+ so I do not want to use it
Any ideas on how to improve ?
thx

Are you using power saver function? If yes, turn off brightness option from it because it reduces maximum brightness down..

You might have a screen protector that covers the light sensor, try getting an anti glare, matte screen protector, they reduce reflections and make outdoor viewing just that little bit easier, also make sure it has cut outs for the sensors, I think the Seido one does but not sure. It might also just be a software flaw, try using Lumos from google play, it adjust brightness way more effectively than stock auto brightness and can even vary the brightness of the buttons to different situations.

hey thanks, i was using power saving function... thx a lot
Hi guys, I'm currently on on the last Existent MM rom, and I find the led brightness too low for me, so that I can barely notice it when it is not night time.
I remember that on some KK roms or Aosp based roms the brightness was far more efficient.
Is it kernel related? Or is there a way to tweak some files to make it brighter?
Thanks
