Help Dim screen when coming out of standby

[raderator]

Any fix for this on Cyanogen? Happens to me on two Dincs. I tried this with no luck:


Menu>Settings>CyanogenMod Settings>Display>Automatic backlight


Light Sensor filter
Enable check
Window length 60s
Reset threshold 800 lux
Sample interval 2s

Light levels
Use custom check
Screen dim level 20 (default)

Edit other levels...
0 30
85 45
160 55
193 60
225 75
273 80
320 82
480 84
640 86
960 88
1280 90
1940 92
2600 94
4200 96
5800 98
6900 120
8000 150
9120 175
10240 255
(buttons, the first two are 255, all others are 0)

Allow light decrease check
Decrease hysteresis 50%

FINALLY found settings that work.

Reduce the number of levels to 16 and use:

75, Button 255 with the rest 0.
77
79
81
83
85
90
95
100
110
120
130
140
160
200
255

Set Window Length to 5 secs.
Sample Interval to 1 sec (optional)

Edit: Lowered them a bit.

What light levels did you assign those brightness levels to?

Left them as they were above but last 3 removed (just change to 16 levels) so last is now 6900 to infinity. Don't know if there are better ones but these work fine. I don't know why on earth they used 60 secs for Windows Lenth. That's far too unreponsive.

Basically, you'll get 25% at night, 50% indoors and 100% outdoors with a 5 sec response time.

Some guy on xda posted these. Work great. Just set Window Length to 5 secs. Columns are reversed:


These are the settings I have been using for CM7. They work well for my 45 year-old eyes. As always YMMV

Moving average filter enabled
Window length: 20 s
Reset threshold: 800 lux
Sample interval: 2 s

Use custom light levels

Number of levels: 23

210 7000
255 8010

Buttons are 255 through 1st 8 levels (backlight ≤ 80)

Allow light decrease
Decrease hysteresis: 50%

The levels corresponding to the raw sensor output (10, 160, 225, 320, 640, 1280, 2600, 5800, and 8000) are all bumped up by 10 (15 for the 10) to force the lower light level. Extra levels help smooth the transitions.

If you find these to dim, bump the backlight levels below 120 up by 2 or 4. To bright, bump 'em down.

23 levels can be a PITA to set up, but it's worth it to me.
