[REQUEST] Modding the LightSensor

---

Do you like the light Sensor on Nexus?
I didn't like it.
It's a very good feature, but it works strange.

It is slow in dimming and took already not enough light to the display.
Nexusdisplay is dark dark dark...

Does anybody know, how to tweak this sensor?

Or am I the only one who dislike it very much?

I just set my brightness manually. Done deal.

Perfect.
In the Night I'll put my sunglasses on or at a sunny day I take my nexus blind...

Wherefor is the sensor if it don't work proper?
There must be some settings for...

I think the light sensor works great but it would be even better if we can customize it a little bit. Something like scale up the screen brightness for each level of external light.

Or something like auto lock when it is totally dark (you put it into your pocket?).....but that would cause trouble if you want to use your phone in the theater

I think the light sensor is terrible. I have tried everything but it still seems very finicky on when it will work properly. I regularly go from low light to sunny outdoors and having the feature would properly would be awesome, especially since it worked fine on my last 2 phones and they arent even close to being a superphone.

Trying to make it transition smoother is something I've been meaning to try. The settings for this are in the source tree at frameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml (I override this in my passion vendor overlay). You can tweak the values and rebuild framework-res to try it out.

oh cyanogen, You Are GOD!

Where we can find it?
I've searched the whole framework.

ha he meant the source tree for framework provided by google. not in the framework-res inside of the zip of the rom you are using.

two things I noticed about it:

1 It dims and brightens too quick, it should take an average light level over a longer time period

2 Our fluorescent lights in the office at work seem to confuse it, so that could mean that the lens is too focussed and if you hit one of the lights it goes too bright, miss and it goes too dim as you move around and/or the wavelength of the lights confuse it - though this problem may be more bearable if #1 above is fixed.
