Best Screen Brightness Widget?

**recDNA** · 10-27-2011, 03:23 PM

I have the htc screen brightness widget and the android one on the power widget. One starts out too bright and the other too dim. Either at the second setting is too bright. I have always hated auto brightness.

Is there a screen brightness widget that works like a slider? I searched the market but the one I found (called screen brightness) doesn't work well on tbolt imo.

Not sure about a slider, but I like the one from Curvefish called Brightness level I think. You can go back to auto brightness with it which was nice.

It has a slider when opened. I love it. Thanks!

Setting brightness to auto brightness is the best for battery life.

Curvefish is a great app, nice to have a widgit right on home screen. You can set it to any % you want.

Actually screen off all the time is best. LOL

I don't like auto brightness never have. Its always too bright or too dim or fluctuating for no reason. I have an extended battery so no worries there.

best widget app is widgetsoid.
it has tons of features and settings.
for it's screen brightness widget it has 4 options
a) 10%/40%/100% toggle
b) 10/30/100 toggle
c) seek bar (see image)
d) custom setting where you pick your 3 levels to toggle between.

plus with widgetsoid features you can put widgets in your notification bar.

oh yeah i forgot to mention, widgetsoid while being really powerful is pretty cumbersome to set up. but then again how often do you change the widgets on your phone? most people spend 20 minutes getting them the way they want it, and then they just use them. so if it take 30 minutes to get them all set up, does it really make a difference?

The best I've seen the the brightness setting slider in bamf 1.0.7 however vzw vvm doesn't work in that rom and I've got 5 more free months of it. There are some other things I don't like but i wont bore you with them.

One touch Widgets has a 6 step brightness widget. Along with the other wi-fi, Bluetooth, GPS, etc Widgets. All Widgets also allow for custom colors and effects.

I've heard this as well, but why does the thunderbolts power management have a 40% setting?

I've been using Display Brightness by RubberBigPepper.
It has a slider and is available across apps.

**recDNA** · 10-28-2011, 09:31 AM

I tried that one but had trouble with the slider. Kept accidentally activating buttons.

If you like the Cyanogen custom auto-brightness (or even just fancy manual brightness), check out my app Lux.

I'll be releasing an update soon which features an ICS styled theme.

Brightness widget from sisedi media not bad set sliders for low medium and high and will cycle through those. Auto is always to bright inside and to dark outside.

Maybe I just don't understand but if I menu, settings, display, brightness, it has a slider. I set mine to very low on the scale because I work 3rd shift and it's always bright enough for me. When needed I just move the slider if I need the screen brighter.
