It seems that AOD brightness level is automatic and can not be adjusted. It's even not connected wit screen "Adaptive brightness".
Is there any workaround. Do you think that this mod will work?

Make a backup of your device and give it a shot. Worst thing that can happen is it doesn't work and you lose nothing.

Already tried that and it does nothing.

Hi,
After I installed KitKat with Cyanogenmod 11 on my Samsung S3 Mini the Automatic Brightness function stopped working.
I read all the posts regarding light sensor on this issue (for S3 Mini) and found opinions vary between "no light sensor at all", "light sensor combined with proximity sensor", "light sensor exists but obscured by hardware", "light sensor disabled in kernel"...
My questions:
Did anyone manage to activate the light sensor on CM11? Is there some change I can do in the kernel to activate it?
I also tried to test for the light sensor with *#7353#, but all I get is a message saying "MMI complete" but it didn't work. Does that work only on the custom ROM? Is there a way to do this test on CM11 ROM?
If there is no light sensor then how did the Automatic Brightness function work on the custom ROM? (and I think I remember noticing the brightness changing automatically at different light levels, but I'm not 100% sure).
Many thanks!
SIII mini doesn't have a light sensor so obviously it's not working. That's all.

If that's true, then how come automatic brightness was working with the stock ROM?
Is it possible that the stock ROM was using the camera for it?

Huh? Previously my SIII Mini I8190N doesn't have such automatic brightness selection on stock 4.1.2. Probably you have installed a mod and let the camera determine the lightning conditions?
I can confirm, as far as I know, that there is no ambient light sensor on S3 mini, so the automatic brightness on custom rom doesn't work on our device.
Install Lux app which uses the front camera to estimate incoming light to auto adjust screen brightness.

I'm 100% sure I was able to select automatic brightness on the stock ROM. Maybe it didn't actually do anything, but it was possible to enable it...
Anyway, obviously changing the brightness level manually would be less battery-consuming, but assuming that I'm lazy and will keep it on relatively high settings, would I be saving battery life if I use the front camera for it, or would using it will actually consume more than I'm saving?
Cheers!

Lux can be triggered only when you wake up the phone so it can adjust the brightness. Usually my screen don't go beyond 20-40% when i'm indoor, In my opinion you'll drain your battery way faster with your display set to a fixed high setting.
@solution
You can easily try with Lux Auto Brightness an app witch uses the camera instead of light sensors it changes the brightness every time screen turns on

Most definitely not.
Just picked up an ME572c and I'm very impressed for the price. However I have noticed the screen brightness levels keep fluctuating as if the light sensor is constantly detecting different light levels.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi,
i notice this too, but that can be related to the power saving mode. Plz turn it off and check the settings in detail. Maybe that helps.
Further inside the developer options there is another option to configure the auto brightness.
You can change the behaviour from dynamic to immediately or slow mode and active an onscreen lux, gain and brightness value display.
Btw i am not satisfied with the auto control, as for my taste the brightness is still too low in a less lighted room. Sensor is reporting 0 lux already with a brightness of 14 which would be ok for a really dark room & night but not at daytime.
What is your experience?
I tried playing with power saving mode and the auto brightness controls in developer options. While I could reduce the fluctuations, I could eliminate them completely. Unfortunately I found it too distracting and returned the device earlier today. It's a shame as everything else was quite impressive for the money.
I also found the fluctuations annoying, my solution was to turn the auto-brightness off. Honestly I dislike auto-brightness on any device, it was also one of the first things I turned off on my laptop.
I am using Lux app now and raised minimum brightness at 0 lux. Thats ok for me now.

Just bumping this to confirm this works and so that others can see. I used Developer options as well (before I found this post) and noticed the instant setting works best.
One more setting to also double check... Make sure that in developer options under auto brightness that you disable allow change gain...
Even with everything disabled it appears as if something still is changing the display. I particularly see it with something like a reddit browser when I'm viewing pictures. You click the pic, it loads and displays and then 1-2 seconds later the display adjusts based upon what is being displayed. Depending upon the picture it can be pretty annoying. I may have to root and start poking around to find out what is causing this.
with the lollipop update this issue is fixed for me.
Is lollipop really solve the problem?

Hello!
Im on lollipop, but the problem you had, still occur at me.
Did you noticed this problem, since you on lollipop?
I have the same problem. When i read, or browsing, the brightness changes in 2-3 steps.
Is anyone having trouble getting adaptive display to work consistently? It kind of just does it when it wants. Cannot get notifications to display constantly and when picking up phone almost never works.

Yes. I turned that crap off a long time ago. It improved my batterly life a lot. I'd rather have knock to wake enabled than stupid adaptive display. Or an LED. And to think, Motorola disabled the LED and knock to wake because of Adaptive display and it doesn't even work right!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm hoping they fix it in the next update? The workaround to get the LED working doesn't seem to be fruitful at this point. Just gotta make due I suppose?
Adaptive display?
Is that some weird hybrid between Adaptive brightness and Active display?

i have been able to duplicate this behavior by selecting no lock screen. then ambient display seems not to work even if selected to. but when i enable any lock screen it works "almost all" of the time.
do you have a lock screen set? do you use trusted devices etc?

I am rooted, using light flow and my LEDs work just fine. Albeit, but colors do not seem to mix well. More like three separate LEDs plus a charging led as I understand it.
This is what I followed... Works the bahlzzzz
Can't seem to paste the link. Notification light confirmed byJMUT. In the general section.
lock screen is set on mine.
also use trusted devices.
I use a pattern unlock and my bluetooth headphones are a trusted device. I have no issues with the notification
I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I tend to think that the auto brightness setting on stock lollipop is WAY too bright, and, while of course it shows off the screen, it wastes battery life.
I can turn on power saving mode to try and dim the screen to some extent. I've also given Lux a try, but it didn't really seem to do much...
Does anyone have an idea for auto brightness which works similarly to how CM12.1 does it on this phone? Where you can set how bright you want it to be, but it still compensates for ambient light?
Thanks!

I like screen filter. It's very simple and you can pick which percentage you want. I've gotten it lower than stock. I'd recommend giving it a try. Couldn't hurt.
Not sure about the ambient light bit, last time I used it was on my note 2. It may be available.
There's a setting for ambient light too.
Hello, does some one knows why the AOD sometimes is brighter sometimes dimmer, regardless of ambient light, it is driving me nuts as I do not find some setting for controlling this…
Btw, I am still on 7.1.1, 950 F stock

I Think it's related to the light sensor on top of the device. When you get your phone off your pocket it will be lighten up.
And probably will happen at the same time you read out the screen. Aftere facedown the device or when it hasn't recognized human usage for a while (1 to 2 min.), it should be dimmed to reduce power.
Have you set auto brightness to off at 'settings/ display' or else tried to set 'adaptive display' to 'basic' at 'settings/ display/ screen mode'?
Have you set the AOD to be always on? Or having time specific settings enabled?
Hopefully this will help you out.
Thanks , I use entertainment mode, I set AOD to always, as for light sensor, in dark or bright situations it seems to be brighter or dimmer at random, sometimes I wake up after 2 or 3 hours of sleep antd AOD is very bright!, or the contrary, beeing for sometime outdoors and is dimmed
Which version of AOD did you have installed? Is it custom downloaded from sammobile or something? Maybe force stop the app, or better to clear app data and reboot and/or check if the app has an update. All in app-info
Currently I'm on 8.0.0 and no issues with AOD so far.

I did some research and found something that might work to decrease dimming to 0.
The app (link to Playstore) "priv set" (by: oguzhan yigit) has some powerful settings with it to set on overlay basis.
One thing... You only can use it with root privilege.
The attachment shows the possible setting to decrease dimming while dozing.
