Hey guys/gals.

I have a problem where my N4 is way too bright at night. It hurts my eyes.

I have auto brightness off and have the phone set to minimum brightness.

I have tried the brightness apps on the play store, but they just apply a filter to the screen as opposed to actually lowering the brightness past the default limits.

I also tried a few apps on the play store that claimed to lower the brightness past the stock limits via root access. While it helped, it did by a tiny amount. The difference was negligible at best.

So I'm thinking that I need at least a %-15 reduction in brightness.

I'm guessing I need to go more low level to achieve this. I'm currently running vanilla 4.4 KitKat and am rooted.

I am open to any suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
