High Brightness Mode Widget

[flar2]

Hello, I'm looking for testers for High Brightness Mode Widget: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.hbmwidget


have promo codes for the first five people to post here and willing to report back to me.

It will make your screen extremely bright at the touch of a button. However, it requires root.

Works on other Samsung devices with AMOLED screens, so should also work on the Note 5, but I would like confirmation.

Took a couple of installs to get it working but afterwards it works great. Haven't had a chance to run AutoMode yet due to it being 11:45pm...lol. Will run it tomorrow in the daylight on auto and report back. Thanks again for letting me try this out...greatly appreciated!

Just like everything you make.
I always enjoyed the kernels you made for my htc one xl

Nothing I can do about that, it takes some milliseconds to turn on.

Becaue of that, I made it so if you tap a second time within less than a second it does nothing, just so it doesn't go on and off quickly from repeated taps.

Tapping twice within 200milliseconds puts it in auto mode where it will come on automatically in bright environments.

Can anyone confirm that the screen gets really bright with this widget enabled? It should be much brighter than if you simply move the brightness slider to max.

It gets a little brighter, not as crazy bright or whatever happens when outdoor mode kicks in but it gets brighter indoors.

***after testing on my note 5 with lux meter from the playstore (on my note 3). I have some results that are slightly more useful than just my eyeball tests***

HBM off
420 on full brightness indoors
590 on full brightness when outdoor mode starts
HBM on
450 on full brightness indoors
590 on full brightness when outdoor mode starts
But when outdoor mode turns off after a few seconds it goes back to 420 and you have to toggle HBM to get it back to 450

Samsung has some weird settings they implement that seem to be affecting our screens performance.

They also have a weird way of having autobrightness work differently when you are holding it compared to when it is laying flat on a table. So they have pretty much F'd with the way google intended everything as usual.
