I was wondering if anyone could make a mod similar to cm brightness mod where you slide your finger across the status bar to dim or brighten the screen . Kinda like previous galaxy models did. thanks

You can use Display Brightness free from the app store. You can set it to slide you're finger anywhere on the screen to dim or brighten the screen.

I was wondering if someone could create (or if there already is) an app that will dim the screen a lot more than just setting it to 0. I work late hours and come home, just wanting to unwind and play some solitaire. I'm blinded by the screen. I know that there are night/clock apps that can do this. Thanks!
I second this request. The screen is quite blinding in a dark room. A night mode would be nice too have.

I would pay for this app, blows my mind how they could make a phone that can't dim lower. Even when setting brightness to 10 with Dimmer it's a real pain using this phone in the dark.

I would also throw down some of my hard earned dollars for something like this, i want to preserve my battery and the dimmest setting isnt making me feel happy about things
Why not just slide your finger across the task bar from right to left and it would lower the brightness to the lowest setting. To brighten go the other way.
Way easier than another app.

Thanks, but not what I was talking about. I'm talking about lowering the brightness past that for nighttime usage. I know it's possible; I have a bedside app that lowers it way past the default.
BTW, that trick only works with Auto Brightness off.
yeah this would be nice. also, having those cool filters like on CM6 would be nice too. the red filter is great for checking your phone in a dark movie theater.
OK been using adj brightness in the market and it was brilliant in brightness control. Unfortunately it doesn't work on the galaxy s2 and because my eyes play up, am finding the phone to bright for me especially when using it at night when lights are off, what alternatives are their to lower the brightness level please.?
For Amoled screens of any type "Screen Filter" seems to be the best.
I agree. Screen Filter seems to be excellent and can make the screen as dark as you ever want. (to a level that no LCD can ever go to imo)
Thanks guys it worked it is the best av seen so far.
I got mine sgs2 on Saturday and hadn't really thougth I would need an App to control this, the settings ont he power widget were good enough for me. However, I tried this out for a laugh and it works well. Will definitely use it at night time.
Although at the moment I am just enjoying the super brightness
Birghtness control from the notification bar
Can one still adjust the brightness by swiping the finger along the notification bar, like one did on the i9000?
Can one disable the automatic brightness from somewhere in the settings menu on the i9100 in the same way as the i9000?
Yep, same thing works in the SGSII.

Your location is marked as London, so I think that you ought to be able to write a non-nonsensical sentence in English. No offence, but this is unintelligible!

Hi Crypticc,
You misunderstood what I wrote.
1) I referred to a partially completed sentence:
" How I just tried dropped down and not" - not what?
2) You have confused the verb 'to swipe' with an application called Swype.
As I noted, you wrote your location was from London, yet that you are not a native anglophone; No problem, but I was a little confused in the beginning.
To summarize: Your reply confused me. You partially clarified what you wrote, and now I understand. Thank-you.
* Back on topic
In order to change the brightness by swiping along the notification bar, please ensure that you have turned off the automatic brightness adjustment setting in the menu. I do not recall the exact name. Then, it should work.
I think that this can be found in : Settings -> Display -> Brightness
Best regards.

I tried rather than did that's the problem
( swype just replaced swipe with swype - oh and it replaced a few other words too).
That said, thanks for the tips folks; both on previewing/reviewing posts, plus on how to swipe to change the brightness.
What would you all suggest be the optimal brightness setting to put the phone on?

Is there a way to adjust the light sensor to respond to the external light quicker than it is currently configured to? I find the stock settings to be pretty slow. I am running ICS Alpha2 Dagr8 Rom.
Its a build prop tweak called "mot.prox.delay" I believe I know I misspelled it,I'm using my phone and at work....research for that,am sure that's what your looking for....like when you take your phone away from ear real quick and the keys should light up so you can hit a button right?.....

I think your are referring to proximity sensor. I was referring to the Sensor that adjust the screen's Iight brightness based on the outside brightness.

Does anyone know how to dim Down screen even more than it says on the settings? Like ex. If you use the stock browser it gives you the option to dimmer to (high power save) so it dims more than normal... Can I do that when out of browser?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717
I believe you have to use apps found on the Android market. That was also the problem I found with this phone. I'm used to Samsung phones allowing you to maker the screens dim extremely dark right out the box. The Note is my first Samsung phone, and it really doesn't have that many brightness settings. The lowest setting is still fairly bright. I downloaded an app called Lux from the market, and it's amazing. I can make my phones screen almost pitch black at the lowest setting.
Nice thanks I just got lux and it better than the screen filter

Be carefull i used one that dims it to 0
and i did that accidentally and it stays in the settings after a reboot , i had to blindly find the app on homescreen and luckily got the dimmer to 15% brought the daylight back
after many attempts

Yeah that happened to my htc evo before lol but thanks I actually set it to 0 and I was still able to see my screen but really hard to see anything lol well thanks for the app referral it is a good app to have

The app called Dimmer will take you from 10 to 0 (10 is as low as you can go with the stock brightness control). However, I later found an app called Screen Filter which works even better - you can make the screen even darker, I found 0 to still be very bright in a dark room.
Even better, you can set up Screen Filter so it dims the screen a small amount all the time to save some battery life.

I really didn't like screen filter as it ruins the clarity when you dim... I used it on my evo and it was good while it lasted, but as Dr. Evo directed me to lux, it's a great app as it actually dims the brightness, and doesn't distort the screen with a filter

I use Brightness Level, https://play.google.com/store/apps/...XJ2ZWZpc2gud2lkZ2V0cy5icmlnaHRuZXNzbGV2ZWwiXQ... It has a widget for easy access and does all of the levels that I need. Try it out. It's free by the way.
just tried LUX. much better than "screen filter". no grey distortion. Thanks Dr.Evo

You're right. Lux is pretty cool. And it does go lower than the app I posted. Thanks. I'm trying it out.
I noticed on my S3 when i have a dark picture set on the lock screen and the home screen the lock screen seems to be allot brighter.
Can this be changed in the settings somewhere or is it just my S3?
I have switched auto brightness off, I've looked in all the settings and cant seem to find anything, its not a major issue but just annoying!
cheers.
Bump
No one?

This kinda drives me nuts. I like having a primarily black background and lock screen on the amoled display. But on the s3, the lock screen is brighter and less contrast so the black is grey.
I would love to fix that apart from using an alternative locker.
