I really liked the brightness tweak with the ultra low brightness setting.

There's a Screen Filter app in the market which seems to do the same thing, I haven't seen any posts about it here so I thought I'd share.

Ditto. I really like this app.
Using 40% and already made a shortcut on the main screen.

Nice find! I was getting ready to make this if it wasn't on the market already. I noticed that the alarm clock had a dark filter overlay when you set it to night mode which is darker than the lowest brightness setting.

1)If i put it on very low can it damage the screen? (AMOLED, Super AMOLED, LCD-TFT, S-LCD)
2)What is the maximum limit? (The device's maximum / More than the maximum / Less than the maximum)

I like this, but it crashes constantly. Not sure about battery life, but its great on the eyes (kinda turns the colors blue/grey-ish though)

Love it! Just wish the 4 buttons on the bottom were variable.

Great app!
Any chance you could add some kind of (customizable) color adjustment as well? When I reduce brightness my amoled gets very redish and I'd like to reduce that effect

I didn't write the program unfortunately!

But feel free to still hit the 'thanks' button if you like the program

Not on LCD panels, this app adds a gray tint to the colors, your back light is still on at whatever level the "brightness" setting is on the phone.

EDIT: I got to the thread from the XDA-portal and just realized this is a AMOLED phone thread, as posted below, on AMOLED screens, darker screen means less power consumption from the display. Not sure what the app itself would use, tho. As in CPU processing.

It should give more battery life with our SAMOLED screens because each pixel glows to give brightness/color, so if it's darker then it should be using less energy. It's not like LCD where you're pumping backlight through the display.

Anybody know how to integrate this into Tasker?

Eg: IF brightness=10 THEN Open App Screen Filter ELSE Close App Screen Filter

I'm looking into it, but wondered if anyone has already done it to save me a bit of time

This app has been around on the market for a fairly long time actually.

I discovered it when I typed "dimmer" in the market search, and found this.
