[Root Required]Min Brightness Enabler

[ChrisJ951]

The nexus 6 gets pretty dim, but you can make it dimmer than the slider allows.

Attached is an APK which will do it when opened. All it does is run the following command:

echo 1 > /sys/devices/fd900000.qcom,mdss_mdp/qcom,mdss_fb_primary.164/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness

I'm unsure how to get it to persist through turning the screen off and back on (it goes back to the default min brightness if you do this).

That's awesome, thanks. Is there any was to make the maximum brightness higher?

Still been trying to figure that out. It seems as that making it brighter may require building the OS or kernel from source to do.

You can also download Screen Filter ( no root required).... I use this at night when I'm in my car and don't want that bright glow on my face
