Lux Auto Brigtness for SGS 3 Mini

[Robi959]

If anyone want to have auto brightness, install Lux Auto Brigthess and then use this setting for luma sensor:

Maybe thoose values can be better, experiment if you have better values and post here Im using this app for 3 weak for now and it works so nice. Battery time is still great.

Here is how to do this:
-download it from google
-go to Lux settings
-click on Sample Collection
-click on Light reading modes
-select Camera instead of Light sensor
-select Front camera (it's obvious that its better than rear camera for this purpose)
-Now, from main screen of settings, click on Modify Linked Samples
from top, click on Luma (this app uses Lux for sensor readings and Luma for camera readings)
-then you can see app reads ambient light value from camera and displays at top.
Now the app should do its job, but you may want to check other settings to match your preferences.

Would work great for those who wants auto brightness until someones make a kernel with auto brightness enabled

Sounds great but Google Play says my device is not compatible (duh) and therefor doesn't allow me to download it. Any advice?

I8190 does have light sensor but its not enabled in the kernel

I9070 pulled yesterday and from what I saw in the front panel has three holes for sensors and mini has 2 ... and in fact after dismantling the phone could see three sensors. Mini has not disassembled yet . I wonder what would have had to upload the kernel of I9070 to i8190 : P

Okay, I managed to get it installed on my device. I used Market Helper which you can download here. Just run it and select HTC One X+ (the others won't work). Open the link to Google Dashboard and your done! Open the Play Store app and search for Lux.

Unfortunately the Free version doesn't support the use of the front camera as light sensor. So make sure you get the Full version, which will set you back € 2,33.

Just download it from google

I found something that might be usefull, it's about our phone's lightsensor. It is listed in these specs

Hm, at the end of that Document is written GPS supported -> NO. If I think about this, I think it's not usefull ...

It is finally compatible with S3 mini. Just bought it yesterday, works great!

It works so good that you will forget you dont have native light sensor

Works great. I use it on Maclaws 10.2. I can see no battery drain.

I also haven't noticed any battery drain. Also you can set sub-zero values during nighttime, which is great if you want to check something and be blinded by brightness.

I would like to say thanks for pointing out this fantastic app which is working very well for me so far!
This is how I have configured the app which works great:
LUMA BRIGHTNESS
1 -20%
100 15%
200 50%
255 100%

This is very conservative brightness setting however it is very readible in every situation and is nice and dark at night and hopefully should be very energy efficient!
All the other default settings work fine, I think it is best to leave permament notification on as changing the brightness with the slider with the setting off causes lux to stop working.

I have noticed this too and it doesnt drain battery because in the lux lite version it only sets auto brightness when unlocking the screen, after that the app does not use the camera anymore so it only costs tiny bit of battery for 2 seconds or so.

In the (advanced) settings there should be an option minimum brightness threshold or something similar which allows you to change the minimum value.
