[TWEAK] Automatic Brightness levels!

---

Issue: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod...detail?id=2298

After toying around with the automatic brightness I'm now here to share my settings ...


I use the following settings:

Light sensor filter enabled.
Window length 10 seconds.
Reset threshold 400 lux.
Sample interval to 0.5s.

Light levels use custom checked.
Screen dim level, not sure what it is for but I have it on 1 instead of 20. ((edit: I found what it is for, it's the step size the filter takes? Or not? :s))
Edit other levels...

Number of levels: 18

0 1
10 1
117 17
225 33
272 49
320 65
480 80
640 96
960 112
1280 128
1940 144
2600 160
4200 175
5800 192
6900 207
8000 223
9120 239
10240 255

Allow light decrease checked.
Decrease hysteresis to 10%.


I hope people like my light settings, if you don't please tell me why

Reasons why some settings should be altered:

Reset threshold, should be able to set to 100 and 200 lux. At the moment if you walk into light it takes the filter some time to go up, so 100 or 200 lux would trigger a reset faster. Also the sensor starts at 225 lux so why 400 as a minimum in the first place?

Window length, as for the above, if you walk into light a smaller window length would help put brightness up much quicker in combination with a smaller reset threshold.

If the above two settings could be added in CMParts/ODParts that be great as the filter would be much more responsive to short period light changes. For example if you go from outside to inside or visa versa.


And maybe it would even be a better idea to remove the whole custom light levels and add a linear function to it to go with the filter (configurable) and just have 254 steps (1-255) over 10-10240?

Adding 254 steps yourself is ... A PAIN ><

English please

What ROM are you using? CyanogenMod and forks of it (OpenDesire, DeFrost etc) have a custom preferences menu where you can check out the light sensor values. That is when you leave the filter off and goto edit other levels. Hold your phone in line with a TL light and it should jump to 1280.

Do you see the top most number change when light changes?

Call me crazy, but I am ><

I put the whole table into the automatic backlight custom levels: http://www.linux-box.nl/~sjoer/1to255/1to255.php

And it works really well with light changes, it should work even better if reset threshold can be lower (200 or maybe 100) as it will respond to bright light <> no light much better.

how did you did that?
without typing lol

This is insane..... so much trouble for such a simple task. Automatic Brightness. On winMO i used g-lite wich was satisfacatory. A have the desire for a month now. I searched from a similar soft and i didn't find. But i'm not gooing to try this much trouble for something that should be easy. Thank you.

Im sorry but....HOW do I apply this ? O.o

Can this be applied to other roms?

I am using Pinky desire and would love to do this.
