I'm looking for an app of sorts to auto dimm the screen. I find the one built in doesn't work as good as I would like. The screen is either too bright or too dark and I will have to manually change it throughout the day. Any help or suggestions would be great. Thanks!

I tried both apps you suggested, Lux seemed to work but my screen became unresponsive and I had to restore a backup. If anyone else tries these apps be sure to do a backup before trying them.

When I got a message or notification while my screen was off it would light up the screen automatically to show you the notification on the lock screen. Is there an android alternative?

SMS Enhancer does it with the stock MMS app:

SmsPop Up maybe?

go sms works perfectly as you described, and its my choice, but see what works best for you.

Honestly I looked into a few of those recommendations but I chose Tasker with the plug in Secure Settings.
Now I can choose to wake up my screen on any notification for a defined amount of time before it turns off automatically.
Tasker is a very powerful system app. So if you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it. It's a paid app ($6.95) but very worth it. If your skeptical go to the developer's website for a trial.

Tasker is pretty awesome. Amazing things can be done with that app.
Not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting you to say that Tasker is your solution.
Agreed with slix, go sms works great

Stock does not show you the message contents on a pop up on the screen.
Widgetlocker + gosms widget. This is my set up.

Well the OP didn't word it that way. If that's the case, then people have made plenty of suggestions.

True. I made the leap because my wife had an iPhone and knew the behavior the OP was referring to.

True, I've had multiple iPhones as well. I actually HATED that feature and I still don't like it on my note. It should come with a damn LED notification like 99% of every android phone.

Can you read and respond within the go sms widget without unlocking?

It's happening on a couple apps, they don't seem to sense that I'm holding the phone in landscape. I've cleared cache and I've done a soft reset. Running the base 7.3 with no other problems. Any ideas?
Thanks

Did you happen to have flashed Nocturnal mod ?
I flashed it, didn't like it so I tried to restore. Got an MD5 error so I had to flash the base again to get rid of the nocturnal mod.

I had the exact same happen to me, tried everything I could think of to fix it. Finally had to use lgnpst to restore, then reroot unlock and flash base.
I think I'll just wait to see if the next rom fixes it if that's the case. Does anyone know if there is an option to calibrate the sensors? I've looked but haven't found it

Under display in system settings, the last option but it will not help. You can be up and running in no time, lgnpst doesn't wipe data and there is an automated install script. Once you have everything downloaded it runs in few minutes.
I'll try that then, thanks

Fixed using lgnpst. Interesting fact my phone was missing the option to calibrate the sensors before restoring with lgnpst.

Had exactly the same issue, also proximity sensor to turn off screen in call was broken
In many apps, some that lock to landscape orientation and some that don't, I've been noticing that the upper left corner of the screen flashes and 'melts' colors together for a split second, then goes back to normal. That's the upper left in portrait, and the lower left/upper right in landscape. It doesn't do it with all apps, but it does with several and it is greatly annoying. Is anyone else having this problem? And if so, what's causing it?
I've been noticing that it mainly does it with ken magic's solitaire app, and with the stock messaging in all orientations.

I had seen a post regarding this a while ago. It seems there is a layer of glue that holds the capacitive layer the screen. If it starts to come unglued the result is that color banding you see. May want to take it back if still under warranty, doubt it will get better by itself if that is truly what is occurring.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
If that's so, why does it only do it in landscape with certain apps?

I don't know, are both corners the same color in that app regardless of the orientation? If not, maybe it's more noticeable with certain colors. If so, then I don't know what to tell you. Sorry.

I've had this rom for a while and it feels like the gps is really hit or miss. It will find a lock almost instantly some nights and others it will Judy search endlessly.
Anyone else have this happen?

I tested around and I think the problem was partly caused by notification toggles.

I was wondering if anyone knows of any work around to get the keyboard scaled right. I have everything apps and all dpi set to 370. That seems to be a sweet spot. The only problem I'm having is the keyboard. I'm stock rooted. Here is a screen shot. Currently I'm writing everything outwith my S-pen.
Maybe because I'm using the xda app I can't see the picture, but you did post a picture correct?
