Brightness black lockscreen fixed & Brightness Slider fix.
GSI Misc Settings
✅Use Linear Brightness Scale
✅Force Alternatice Backlight Scale
✅Allow Settings to the lowest

Flash this file on magisk and reboot :)

Note: There's a better fix recently posted by malfunchan, >> here.

Thanks very much! I followed your link on the bug report I created and looks like the module works great. The only issue now seems to be that notifications are still too dim. Any way around that? Thanks again.

I'm using PE 12 by ponces, as recommended in the forum.
what notifications? notification panel?
Sorry, I should've been clearer. I was referring to Always On Display. When a new notification comes in, it's barely visible. I've tried turning adaptive brightness on and off and manually maxing the brightness, but that seems to do nothing. I've also tried with Force allow AOD in phh settings.

im not using aod.. maybe our device doesn't support it at all. (no aod feature on stock miui)

I've seen it's based on android 11. That might be the reason

It does, but the battery life gets much worse also
Well, that's because it's just a while loop running in the background.
It was a temporary fix for this issue to find the cause of it.

Here's another, cleaner way to fix brightness done by modifying the lights service. I've not tested it thoroughly and it's still a temporary fix, but here you go.


Works for all roms regardless of Android version, theoretically.

Thank you! It seems to work so far with Android 12 GSI. Now the only problem is ambient display, which is too dim. That may be related to not having an overlay, I'm not sure, though.

Ambient display works fine for me.
For the brightness fix I made, I'm currently testing a better one that doesn't need force linear slider or any brightness slider tweaks. The one I sent has some bugs that can't be solved so I'm testing another approach to fix it entirely. Will make a post in the next few days if I don't find any issues.

    Hello brother, I want to ask you about you also facing the screen doesn't wake for notifications right. Even I enabled in settings>display>lock screen. Right? Please answer my question brother
    But it still wakes up when you press the power button, right? It has to do with the brightness values of the modified HAL. I've been testing this one and it's been good so far. Try it and tell me how it goes.
    Once you flash this file, go ahead and disable linear brightness slider and alternative brightness scale in phh settings. Of you still have problems with brightness, use this command using either termux or adb:
    Code:
    su -c setprop persist.sys.qcom-brightness -1

    add adb shell at the start of the line if you're using adb (root needed for both ways)
    Or, try playing with brightness settings in phh settings until it's fixed.

    If you make some fixes for GSI Roms please send them to PHH or AndyYan
    I've already discussed this over on PHH's GitHub (that's how this topic started), and like I said in my previous comments, this is a temporary patch. Once we figure out a way to do this in the GSI's framework itself, there will be no need for this.
