Hi all!
I have noticed that in most lollipop based ROMs I've tried backlight dims based on screen content. When the image on screen is dark enough the screen brightness drops slightly (or rather jumps down). It's not that noticeable while brightness in settings is set relatively high, but on lower settings it's extremely annoying. It's even more annoying when the jump occurs while scrolling through a webpage! ('cause it happens there too!)
The easiest way to reproduce the problem would be to open the Settings app (preferably using default theme) and slowly sliding notification drawer down. Sliding it back up won't always bring back the brighter.... well... brightness, however a quick slide down and up from status bar should. Sometimes closing the notification area slowly would result in brightness jumping back up. Just give it a try and see...
Another easy way to experience this issue is to set a dark (or even not that dark) wallpaper (happens with this one for example), clean up that homescreen and open and close Chrome (from launcher's dock) repeatedly.
It happens in (doesn't matter if installed in internal memory or internal mass storage):
BlissPop, CyanideL, CM12.1 nightlies, EuphoriaOS, EOS, DirtyUnicorns
It doesn't happen in:
CM11, CM11s, CM12s, (and surprisingly) AOSPA-L and XenonHD
Why is that happening? How can the issue be fixed? It makes every great ROM unusable for me (and therefore I'm basically stuck on CM11s). Don't get me wrong, both AOSPA-L and XenonHD, are great but they are missing a thing or two
)
