As you know, automatic brightness has been disabled by default and you cannot enable nor does it have the option.
Here's what you can simply do to enable autobrightness on your xperia s:
1) Head over to the market
2) Search for SPARE PARTS application.
3) Run it, then scroll down to brightness and tick AUTOMATIC
4) Download NOTIFICATION TOGGLE application by j4velin from the market (OR any power widget/brightness application that presents you the option to tick auto-brightness)
5) Enable the brightness toggle
6) Click the brightness toggle you have set, and set it to 18% (REQUIRED to make autobright ness work - this is the lowest sensor value it can read)
7) Finally, tick the choice to choose automatic.
6) And this is how to get autobrightness without root, enjoy your beautiful screen wherever you go in any situation, day or night
confirmed working here, thanks!
confirmed working here to, tho i didn't do the last step 'install notification toggle' it ruins my drop down bar.
Nice find!

It's on by default.
No root required, just a working phone.
Also, this doesn't belong here, as you suggested apps, nothing you actually developed...so it should actually go into the "Themes and Apps" Section.
You pretty much just pointed out a widget that can turn it off which could be done anyways by several apps.
A little bit improvement...
I had installed SPARE PARTS and activated the automatic brightness...
And I also installed Notification Toggle, however I not really like it since it really will ruin my drop down notification...
So I chose to use Brightness Level...
BUT!!!
For my case, if I adjust the brightness to MORE than 50% before and then directly pick auto brightness (multiple tests in both Brightness Level and Notification Toggle), it will no "Auto-Brightness" adjustment.
Addition: If initial brightness is 0% and then directly choose autobrightness will have same problem.
I do need to either do in these 2 ways:
1) toggle the Xperia S preset toggle widget: turn off the backlight (the widget which can toggle wifi, bluetooth...)
OR
2) set the initial brightness between 1 to 50%...then just change to autobrightness...
P.S: I dunno is my illusion or not, if I change to 25% at the beginning then autoB, the brightness will not drop less than it while I close my room's light...XD

yes, the lowest the sensor can go is 18% (confirmed), so for auto-brightness to work at its best, set to 18 then click auto, first post updated =)
Working!

Hello Guys!!
Have anybody missed AUTO BRIGHTNESS feature in L9 because lack of Ambient Light Sensor,
If yes, the don't worry. I have an easy solution for Auto Brightness, Yes you can use Auto Brightness on LG Optimus L9:victory:
NO ROOT REQUIRED
Download and install These two app from following links:-
Lux Auto Brightness
Tasker
After Installing these apps follow these steps:-
Lux Auto Brightness:-
Go to Lux settings
Tap on Sample Collection
Tap on Select light reading source
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
Select Display On in Display Event
A blank screen will appear, do nothing just press BACK Button
TAP on New Task +
Enter Name to task or just tap on tick
A blank screen will Appear, tap on Plus Sign (+)
Select Plugin from action category
Select Lux Plug-in
Tap on Edit Button
Scroll Down and Tick in front of Refresh Backlight brightness? Under Force
Press Done, then press back and back again
Exit Tasker
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.

How to set min brightness 40% in LUX ? How works those luma settings ?

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.
hey guys,
i have this sorta weird issue where my phones light bar is not working properly. i looked all over the thread but couldnt find anyone with this same issue.
i flashed a AOKP custom rom recently, im loving the speed, everythings awesome, but the led bars dont work. the normal theme colour thingie is off, which is understandable, but the illumination bar notification app also doesnt work, and the light bars dont work when i use the walkman that i installed later. but weirdly, u-disco can control the lights, and they also light up along with the notification led for phone notifications like low battery, or battery charging.
i was wondering if anycould suggest a way to get at least some of the functionality back.?
im sure that 3rd party apps can control the light bar cuz u disco pulled it off.
any help would be greatly appreciated

What's your phone? If your phone is Xperia U, search for Xperia U illumination files and download and get ADB server because the RunMe.bat should only be work with ADB and place all files in ADB folder. Then run the RunMe.bat twice in order to be sure. If it's done, now you can get illumination with illumination bar notification app.
That's all? No! You would like to set theme in illumination bar notification but it always turning off.
Now you change your display settings. Follow this fix which is not mine.

Hi,
I just bought the LG G2 mini and I realised there were no auto-brightness when I received it lol... In my opinion this is one of the most missing feature (with notification light).
But I like the phone anyway :victory:
So, I'm looking for tips/apps which can manage screen brightness.
I'm using "Brightness Scheduler" with high brightness when I'm at work or outside (~70% at 08:00 am)%, and low brightness at home (~20% at 07:30 pm).
Which app are you using (if you use one) ? Do you have tips ? :angel:
I'm rooted via Towelroot if required .
Thank you
(I hesitated posting here or in Theme/Apps section...)

First of all i'm also new with the g2 mini.
I think that this is the right place because it's a question
So , answering your question: the main purpose of auto-brightness is battery saving. That being said , my advice is: don't worry about that, i use set my brightness to max (i also enabled night brightness) and i can easily use my phone for 2 days and still have 35 to 45 % of battery :victory::victory::victory::victory:
You can use Lux Auto brightness App from playstore. It uses the front camera to measure the light from your surroundings. Pretty useful app from me.
I change my brightness manually using the dropdown Notification center, so I don't have to open the settings app.
I don't like autobrightness anyway.
Thanks :good::good:
I tried Lux auto brightness and it's exactly what I want It works very well :victory:
Setting manually the brightness is very hard when you set to ~10% at home and unlock your phone outside, the screen is too dark and you can't see anything...
Thank you
Just use xposed and enable swiping on the statusbar to change 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

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.

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!

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.

The MX Player part still works. I don't know about the lowest value of brightness in general but at least with CM12 & Samsung the brightness goes to the hardware minimum by default.
Thanks, this is exactly what I want.
Could you make it for LP ?
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

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.
