Minimum display drightness too bright in dark conditions
-
I lower the display brightness to its minimum when in the dark but I find this minimum a bit too high. In the dark, the brightness is a bit blinding. How would it be possible to alter this minimum?
-
I agree. But I think it is a hardware limitation, not one under a user or programmer's control.
-
At least for the BQ M10 it is not a hardware limitation, but a choice when the image was built. Minimum brightness was set to around 10% of maximum. You can set it lower, but it is clunky, and I am not sure if the procedure is the same for each device.

Hi!
You could try another theme, like suru dark; UT Tweak Tool is your friend...
-
UT Tweak Tool themes have no effect on the brightness of apps.
-
You can manually change the minimum brightness you want in
/usr/share/repowerd/device-configs/picking the file of your device. To do that, you need to mount the filesystem in write mode withsudo mount -o remount,rw /.

Thanks Fla. I have edited the file config-default.xml and changed the line
<integer name="config_screenBrightnessSettingMinimum">10</integer>to
<integer name="config_screenBrightnessSettingMinimum">1</integer>and rebooted the device.
But the minimum brightness remains the same. Have I missed something? Do I need to run some kind of init command to enable the change?

Yes, you're right. But IMHO at least the overall appearance of white text on black background is less bright then vice versa.
-
White text on black background is only for the system, not for apps like the web browser.

Well, I'd say it works for most of the apps: Dekko2, Filemanager, OpenStore, UTTT, OSM Scout server, Contacts, Notes, Weather uMPD, calculator etc. etc... Even Morph has a dark frame... In others you can switch the layout - Sturm Reader, EpubViewer, Document Viewer, Writer...
