Hello guys,
I was upset with screen brightness on my Amazfit watch and with a little research figured out how to set screen brightness with adb command. So here it is:
If You want to know what level of screen brightness is just type this:
adb shell settings get system screen_brightness
It will show You a number (default is 60).
To set screen brightness type:
adb shell settings put system screen_brightness XX (where XX is number between 0 and 255)
P.S. backlight settings on my watch is set to "Always on"
Hope it will help to someone.
You can also modify the framework-res.apk
<integer name="config_screenBrightnessSettingMinimum">0</integer>
<integer name="config_screenBrightnessSettingMaximum">255</integer>
<integer name="config_screenBrightnessSettingDefault">10</integer>

and
<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLevels">

<item>50</item>
<item>300</item>
<item>400</item>
</integer-array>
<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues">
<item>10</item>
<item>60</item>
<item>30</item>
<item>0</item>
<item>0</item>

Thanks for info, but i'm not a programmer, and I don't know how to modify that .apk file and where he is.
Could You please explain how to do that?
Thanks

I suppose that this changes the backlight, as it looks to me. But is there any possibility to increase the display itself?

You won't ever need that in outdoor conditions. It is a transflective display.
Under bright illumination (e.g. when exposed to daylight) the display acts mainly as a reflective display with the contrast being constant with illuminance.
Only in dim and dark ambient situations is an auxiliary transmissive backlight needed. Then your only option is to amp up the backlight, as discussed here

Update the ROM to 1.3.4f(latest as on date).
It has the option to adjust the brightness.
Your wish has been granted. @tibinet

Hi Guys.. I've been searching for ways to change the default color of Home Button of our Ray. Been on decompiling/compiling framework, settings... but got nothing or don't know exactly what xml/smali that controls the color of the buttons. So, by doing some trials-and-errors...:crying: Maybe this time I hit it.
First of all I want to thank:
JJDOCTOR for giving the hint to enable the light of Home button.
boy*racer*- max echo value is 20000
and all of you GUYS here on xda..
So here it is, navigate to system/etc/pre_hw_config.sh using ROOT EXplorer and find these lines:
echo 1000 > $dev/red/max_current
echo 1000 > $dev/green/max_current
echo 1000 > $dev/blue/max_current
and change to anything you want, I made it to
echo 1000 > $dev/red/max_current
echo 2000 > $dev/green/max_current
echo 9000 > $dev/blue/max_current
THE HIGHER THE VALUE, THE BRIGHTER THE LED.
Save changes....
For color preferences calculations: Go here. Thanks to Xtremy.
The above is nearly ICS Blue... You can put any values you want til 20000(?) except ZERO (0). By putting zero, that color will not be used by the system notifications ( I think)...
THIS WOULD NOT MAKE ALL OF THE NOTIFICATIONS COLOR TO THE COLOR YOU HAVE SET, ONLY THE DEFAULT HOME BUTTON COLOR IS AFFECTED. Sorry if the first flash of notification is not the COLOR you desired, only the succeeding flashes... I'm not a developer, I don't know how to do this correctly.
I THINK THIS WOULD NOT WORK ON CM-BASED ROM, BECAUSE THE HOME BUTTON LIGHT IS DISABLED (automaticbrightness is already set to FALSE). If somebody can make it to work, just apply it.
SOME DEFAULT COLOR WOULD NOT BE THE CORRECT APPEARANCE AFTER CHANGING THOSE LINES.. example, Violet is not violet when you use it as message notifications, still ICS Blue(?). Just raise the values.
REBOOT IS A MUST... Hope it won't bootloop...

XML is used to create user interface and the components used in app and java is used to create executable codes that will make apps functionality.
XML and smali are created automatically in app development.Though notepad++ is best to type XML.Best and easiest way to create a xml file is just write code in notepad++ and save it with extension of .xml.If you are developing an application of android then xmls are created by software itself. You will just need to specify name and add it to project as xml file...
thank you! i was just looking for this:good:
This is a nice mod adulfo! :good:
I wrote a little tutorial for finding your color value:
Go to this Color Wizard website.
Choose the color of your choice in de color bars.
In the #box you find the hex value for your color.
For this tut i use a nice orange E45F13 hex value.
Split de value in three pieces E4 5F 13.
1st byte E4 xx xx is for the Red value. (#FF0000)
2nd byte xx 5F xx is for the Green value. (#00FF00)
3rd byte xx xx 13 is for the Blue value. (#0000FF)
Open windows calculator set it in Scientific Mode.
1) Hit F5 to select HEX.
2) Type in your first hex (if HEX is 00, decimal is 0)
3) Hit F6 to convert to decimal.
Do this for all three hex values and write down the numbers...
1st byte E4 xx xx E4=228
2nd byte xx 5F xx 5F=95
3rd byte xx xx 13 13=19
As we know "max echo value is 20000" or 255 so:
20000 / 255 X 228 (your 1st above number)= 17882 for the Red Value
20000 / 255 X 95 (your 2nd above number)= 7450 for the Green Value
20000 / 255 X 19 (your 3rd above number)= 1490 for the Blue Value
Change the values in system/etc/pre_hw_config.sh for red, green and blue save & exit, reboot!
---------- Post added at 12:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 AM ----------
I use the Tron Legacy Cyan color: 00DFFC
1000 for the Red Value.
17490 for the Green Value.
19764 for the Blue Value.
also note:
I set the first byte for Red to zero
after reboot it went to 1000 value,
so I think 1000 is the lowest value.
Thanks mate.. To those also having problems converting those values, you can google HEX to RBG converter.
wow it is very great and i change it
works perfect

This would only change the default color of your Home button ( if only it is enabled), hitting any of your physical keys.
i changed all the values to 10000, all the colors are the same but a lot brighter, default 1000 is too dim for me.
@adulfo thanks for the tip buddy, can happily report that it is also working on my ray

This values as depicted on the lines itself maybe clear, raising it, means raising LED current, more current more power,more power so much brighter... If you want color other than WHITE, don't make the values nearly equal.

Zero doesn't work, i try 0001, it works.
for RED color, the value is 10000,0001,0001.
Try again to see the values on your pre_hw_config.sh if it did not changed after reboot. Then all of your notifications will turn to RED.. By setting the lowest value to 1000, still the GB colors has still a good current value.

I think this will make all of your notifications to LIGHT BLUE?.. Correct me if I'm wrong... Doing that also.. Better to put those values on pre_hw_config.sh..

Just don't put those values on hw_config.sh, only on pre_hw_config.sh I think....
hi guys this is my first comment so, i've changed these values in pre_hw_config.sh and of course i've got the color i want (nearly ICS blue). BUT here is my problem: other notifications like charging (instead of red it's nearly pink, instead of orange it's nearly green...) not working properly. I'm using light flow led and its notifications also miss the right color. Is there a solution for this? I'm not a developer but i think the phone calculates the values of notifications by this three values and must be an algorithm for this somewhere in the phone, so maybe we can manipulate that. Tell me if I'm wrong. Sorry for my english it's not my native language.

Try to raise the values of the other color, I stated that on my OP last part that if you make the other values extremes (1000 and 20000), the the colors will be affected.. If for instance, Blue will have 20000 value, the notifications color that contains blue (violet...) will have dominant blue and other colors will be suppressed, so VIOLET will turn out to be more on BLUE.
Hi guys!
I don't like my auto brightness settings on my kernel so i would like to change it because it drains battery like hell
I am using ICS 4.0.4 and Siyah kernel 4.1.5. Where are the settings located and how do any changes effect the brightness? Please explain any step made and all the modification made for better battery saving!
This might be a good place to start (I found this via a Google search, BTW).
Edit - And because I'm such a good bloke, here's the post on XDA that post links to.
Ok. Nice. But can i add more items to the code? For example:
<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues">
<item>5</item>
<item>50</item>
<item>100</item>
<item>150</item>
<item>200</item>
<item>255</item>
</integer-array>
There are 6 items instead of 5.
Here I am presenting the five different brightness mod to adjust brightness of capacitive button's backlight. Requirements, Procedure and mods are given below.
Requirement-
1 Root explorer or any similar explorer
2 Sharp mind
Procedure-
1 Open the root explorer and go to system/etc. Here you will find a script named as" hw_config.sh ".
2 Open the script or file as the text in text editor with the help of root exploprer.
3 Now scroll down to the last line and after that line add one of the required brightness mod line which one you like into it as given below. (Don't add all lines of different mods. )
4 Now reboot and done.
Five Different brightness mods-
1 Very High Brightness mod-
echo 10000 > $dev/button-backlight/max_current

Important note:- If any line similar to these lines already exists in script or file then first delete that line or replace it with one of mods.
Recomended and tested successfully with stock kernel, can't say about custom kernels.

i'm using cm10 on my sk17. and in there is a line in the file "echo 500 > $dev/button-backlight/max_current" by default. and the brightness is very high. Tried various times and found that the minimum value that can be given is 150 on cm10. If you want more light, just increase in small steps...

ok thanks.
why this is not f**king working for me ...?!?
ok, had this problem and dont know wheres here the problem
1. i hate bbl (=buttonbacklight) so i disable it with Mini-Ultrabrightness mod and all was fine!
but after changing kernel to kappa kernel (1.6) the bbl was very bright AND NO way to disable it...?!?
---> edited hw_config file like here = no changes
---> flashed Mini-Ultrabrightness second time = no changes
---> make a script with value echo 1 > $dev/button-backlight/max_current / and also tested values for 1 button etc.. = no changes
before it was no problem changing the bbl, but after usig kappa kernel the bright backlight persist, even after flash diffrent kernels
..... MY QUESTION IS: anbody knows whats happenning there?? or haw to diable bbl with a diffrent (safe ) method??
it would be really nice.
thanks. and SFBE (=sorry for bad english)

Under LMU AS3676 Configuration add these lines-
echo 1 > $dev/button-backlight/max_current
echo 0 > $dev/button-backlight/max_brightness
echo 1 > $dev/button-backlight-rgb1/max_current
echo 1 > $dev/button-backlight-rgb2/max_current
Now reboot 2-3 times and between every reboot provide some time also delete any previous lines which are similar to these or simply replace there value with these one.
Interesting thread...
Is there any way guys for the capacitive buttons to have backlight ONLY when we press them, not only every time the screen is on?
Alternative: can we change their backlight timeout?
thx

i have been facing a problem,i have installed "OpenSEMC-mr2-alpha2"
when i control my brightness the illumination bar light remain full
but in stock ROM when i reduce my brightness the intensity of that illumination bar light also decreases .
it is very annoying if you are doing something in night with low brightness and the illumination bar light is full.
please help
how tot enable ultrabrightest ?
Im working on modding the auto brightness values in framework-res.apk because i find the stock values to be too dim in a medium lit room and too bright in a dark room.
i find alot of tutorials but they are older so im trying to check in to see if this is still valid.
i used this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806602 to decompile and then edited res/values/arrays.xml and then recompiled.
then i used 7zip to copy the META-INF folder and AndroidManifest.xml from the original framework-res.apk to the new one.
so now i want to swap them out and avoid bootloops and stuff.
so i see this guide. http://www.androidtablets.net/threads/how-to-manually-replace-framework-res-apk-on-stock-roms.43716/
should this work?
im not sure how to create a flashable zip... again i see alot of tutorials but they are older so im not sure they are valid and wont bork my phone.
thx
Brian
Ok I manned up and tried it especially since I had a nandroid bavkuo. it looks like it worked ok. It started crashing out after I replaced the file but after a reboot its working so far.
We'll see how it works in varying light conditions.
Brian
i didnt nuke my phone but the lowest brightness is still at 50.... which is too high.
back to the drawing board.... ie dig through the guys flashable zip that did it already here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/mod-lower-autobrightness-values-t3054000
Brian
this is more my ramblings and thinking outloud than a question.... but i think i may have found it.
i only edited arrays.xml to this:
Code:
<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues">
<item>10</item>
<item>40</item>
<item>90</item>
<item>130</item>
<item>160</item>
<item>190</item>
<item>205</item>
<item>220</item>
<item>235</item>
<item>245</item>
<item>255</item>
</integer-array>
but i didnt change integers.xml
Code:
<integer name="config_screenBrightnessSettingMinimum">50</integer>
or this
Code:
integer name="config_screenBrightnessDim">50</integer>
so when logging a logcat and covering the sensor, i could see the brightness only get down to 50 after i paused it and scrolled through the log.
now i changed those values both to 10 and im going to test again.
Brian
ok i changed the values in arrays.xml as set above and in integers.xml set the above values to 10 and then followed the guides earlier in the thread and it worked.
while running catlog, i can see the display brightness be commanded down to 10 when i cover the sensors on the top of the phone.
i have the middle ambient light levels pumped up a bit and the low light alot less than stock and it seems to be just about where i can leave it on auto all the time and have good brightness.
if someone wants to move this thread to another section if it is applicable, go ahead.

I have found a way to enable 120hz on WQHD+ display setting
For root
1. Install Easy DPI Changer [Root]
2. Change resolution to 1436x3192 and DPI to desired size that you like. I have 384
3. Go to settings and set refresh rate to 120Hz
Without root
1. Use adb
2. Change resolution to "adb shell wm size 1436x3192" and DPI to desired size that you like. I have 384 "adb shell wm density 384"
3. Go to settings and set refresh rate to 120Hz

Hey Thank you very much for sharing this tweak! I'll test battery life
BTW just wondering in case I wanted to go back to stock... I'd just change the resolution, and that's it, right?
Thanks, settings that seem to look the best for me:
adb shell wm size 1436x3192
adb shell wm density 511
Set "Font Size" to 2
Will check this by tonight. Nice !

Update: I think because the resolution for WQHD+ is 3200x1440. Can we have the 120Hz with that resolution rather than 1436x3192?
Thanks my friend.

Yeah! It is hardware limited. The device is actually running at HD+ on that resolution, and the phone is capable of running HD+ @120hz but if you set the WQHD+ screen size correctly (1440x3200) the phone will run only @60Hz.
