Make auto brightness go only up. Similar to what Samsung phones do - which prevents brightness going down because of a shadow or finger covering light sensor. To reset brightness, turn the screen off and on. (There's no timeout or tilt detection though)
I hated this feature on Samsung but with the adaptive brightness feature since CM12 it often is so off and sensitive so using this module actually makes it more bearable for me (still without the need to install apps like "Lux").
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.
Thank you for this great Modul, works perfectly with my S5 G900F CM 12.1 AICP :good:

Hi!
I have the S6 edge since yesterday and I noticed that auto brightness does not work.
Testing the senosr via a sensor read out tool, it actually detects brightnes levels well (as far as I can tell).
However, if I turn on my phone, it is first super dim at first. When I expose it to a flash light, the screen turns brighter and eventually maxes out. But it does not turn back to normal brightness levels once I remove the light source. Sure I can adjust auto brightness with the slider. But it is then much brighter (with same light conditions in the room) as when I truned on the phone...
Only if I turn off auto brightness, the screen reverts to the setting I have chosen...
If I turn auto brightness on again, it is as bright as with flash light exposure...
What is going on here?
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

I have the same problem. Already talked with Samsung and ATT. They want me to change the phone.
Ps. It seems the problem only persists in S6 edge not in S6. But I also found that other android that run lolipop 5.01+ have the same issue too. And right now, I use the app name velis auto brightness to fix this.
I will try to change the phone by this week and update you.
Hope this help.
I have started using an app called Lux. And it has no problem adjusting the brightness. The sensor clearly works fine as it can always displays the brightness detected by the sensor. So it has to be a software problem.
I could imagine that a hard reset could fix the issue. But right now, I do not want to go to the hassle to restore everything
Let me know how the new phone works. :highfive:

The hard reset did not work, I already did it.
I will update you again once I change or test the other phones.
I went to the store, and both S6 and S6 edge in the store all have the same problem, so the exchange it may not solve the problem.
I think this problem may be a software problem or an intention from Samsung/Google.
I will try to use it in couple days. If I cannot bear this, I might return the product.
Hope they will have OTA update soon.
Got this too.
It's really anoying.
I really hope there will come an app like on older Sammy's that we can set and adjust our own brightness levels.
But I'm not expecting a fix from Samsung tho. They have proven again and again they are unable to fix their crappy software. Especialy if it's a minor bug like this.
So anyone wanna buy a rooted hardly used S6 Edge plus?
Hello all,
I was just wondering if there is a way to enable the beautiful ambient display since the 1+x 's proximity sensor is really responsive, but I dont like the screen pulsing for battery life and "pocket dial" reasons.
I would still like the proximity sensors to work when i wave my hand or take out of my pocket, but it would be great if i could disable the screen pulsing somehow..
Thanks
Should be under doze in settings.
I've read spotty reviews on how the ambient screen display feature works (as-in it didn't reliably) so I initially disabled it. I installed Nougat DP5 last night and re-enabled it just to see if it's any better. I've found that if I double tap the screen it comes on. Now, I don't think this is like the LG version where it's detecting your finger touching the screen but more like the accelerometer detects the vibration and interprets this as the motion needed to trip the display. I've noticed that it's not very reliable, or doesn't work at all, except on the right-side more or less inline with where the time is displayed. Double-tap here and it works very time (maybe the accelerometer is under that spot). Who knows. What I do know is that I can now check the time without having to press the power button.
I've noticed this as well - I'm on dp5, and I have the double tap 6p app installed. It doesn't seem to work as well, but the ambient display seems to trigger more when I touch the device.
On stock all you need to do is tap it hard enough to slightly move the phone and ambient display will work.
I'm using a stock BLU R1 HD running Android 6.0 and within the last month, give or take, my phones brightness has randomly been spiking or plummeting before evening out into something legible. I also use Twilight(With pro unlock) and I have for years. I have disabled Backlight Control in the app. I have tried to go into my settings and disable Adaptive Brightness, but it will not stay disabled and turns itself back on as soon as I leave Settings. I've recently installed Lux but the problem persists. I've been googling it and all the responses I find are from 2015, give or take, and most apps regarding brightness have also not updated since around that time.
The frustrating part is that most of the time when it changes I'm not even moving and the light around me is not changing. The problem actually occurs more in normal, indoor lighting than it does in darkness or bright sunlight, and I've been careful not to cover the front camera, where I think the light sensor is, just in case I was the problem.
Does anyone know what I can do? How I can either fix Adaptive Brightness to stop randomly changing my brightness for sometimes 10 to 15 seconds before going back to where it should be, or how to disable Adaptive Brightness so it will stop turning itself back on?
I'd prefer not to root my phone, so please don't suggest it unless there really is no other option. I've ruined several phones that way in various ways and have concluded that rooting is just not for me.
Hello,
coming from a Samsung device where you could easily adjust the brightness of the integrated flashlight by longpressing the according flashlight-button, I wonder why this is not possible on the Mi Note 10 lite, or am I missing how to do it correctly. Is it really not possible to adjust the brightness of the flashlight? Are there any Xiaomi devices available at all that support this very basic feature?
i noticed that in the orange fox recovery it has a flashlight thats SUPER bright, i wish i can get miui that bright.
