Shortcut for Screen Bright

[crisalarcons]

This shortcut allows you to set the screen bright into five levels. 0, 85, 170, 255 and automatic. http://automagic4android.com/flow.php?i ... 41d88b3eaa

@crisalarcons,

Just to make sure. Did the android default "Power control" widget* have too little options for you? Since it has four:

• dim (0)
• half-bright (~127)
• maximum brightness (255)
• automatic

* - In my case it was on a Moto G(KitKat 4.4), not sure if it is really an android default widget and if it is, in which version it first appeared.

I used the following flow using light sensor. Everytime screen is lit up:
A. If surrounding light is dark, then use a dim screen setting
B. If the surrounding light is very bright, then use a very bright screen setting. But check every 5s if the surrounding light is no longer that bright
C. Otherwise, I set a comfortable but not so bright screen.

I found this saves battery better than using autobrightness since it doesn't use the light sensor continually.

@up
Nice, but notification showing on very bright screen every 5 seconds drives me crazy.

Edit:
OK. I have correct your flow
Try it.

Cool,thanks. There is a new option called 'adaptive brightness'. Any idea how to use it?

[Martin]

Adaptive brightness is supported only on some devices and controls on what level the automatic brightness should work. Move it to the left to use automatic brightness on a dark level, move it to the right to use automatic brightness at a bright level.
The setting is only supported on Android 5 (unofficial) and on some Samsung devices like the S5 and Note 3 (even more unofficial). This setting will be ignored on other Android versions/ROMs.

Thanks so much Martin. Good one.

here's my contribution for this thread. The OP's flow didn't work for me but gave me an idea how to make a new one. This flow fires up when turning screen on and also makes a double check if the brightness is right. Also works with shortcut but you have to set it up first.

My phone's(SGS+) light sensor seems to report only three values: 6.0, 1000 and 5000. I have set this up accordingly. You might need to modify the values in the script to make it work for you.
