Velis Auto Brightness has made auto-brightness useful again on my Nexus 6P (where the built-in functionality is notoriously bad). Less buggy than Lux, too, at least in my experience.
Personally, although I did really like Cf.lumen on my OnePlus One's IPS LCD screen, I don't like it on the 6P's AMOLED. Night mode seemed to make everything brighter because the blacks are also red-ified, so the entire screen was lit-up.
I was having issues with the 6P being way too bright in near-dark. It was also not bright enough in bright, direct sunlight. So, I went back to an app I haven't used in years (when I had a Nexus 5, which had wonky brightness levels when it was first released): Velis Auto Brightness. Now, I'm not blinded if I look at my 6P in the middle of the night, and I can see it just fine on really bright, sunny days.
As far as "will it damage the screen?" Well, maybe, a little bit, after years of primarily showing reds; the constantly in-use red pixels will dimish in brightness compared to the blue and green. But... unless you do nothing night after night but watch 8 hours of video in pitch black, I doubt you'll ever see an effect before you move onto your next phone.
A lot of people here recommend Velis Auto Brightness, works really well. Just have to lock the app to keep it open and you might have to disable battery optimization for it too.
I personally use Velis Auto Brightness. It was recommended in this sub a while ago and works great. It takes some time to tweak to your standards, but can pay off well.
I had similar problems with a Samsung tablet running Android and I solved it by installing Velis Auto Brightness. It has tons of parameters for you to fiddle with; not only the curve mapping but also the speed at which it should react to changes (up and down, separately), a handy settings wizard to walk you through all of it, profiles and widgets for quickly selecting profiles. It's not perfect (i.e. a little buggy) but I still prefer this to the very deficient stock auto-brightness feature of my device.
I haven't tried it on LineageOS, so I don't know for sure that it will work, but I would expect it to.
I'm personally not aware of any such app being open-sourced, but if you'd still like the option you could try one of these:
Velis Auto Brightness - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.velis.auto.brightness
Lux Auto Brightness (Paid) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vito.lux
Yes the sensor is sadly kinda bad...
​
also make sure that you DONT use protective glass / films with the black covers for outside and camera area THEY DONT WORK with the poco x3.
​
also use this app to adjust brightness yourself fixed the issue for me https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.velis.auto.brightness&hl=en\_US&gl=US
Maybe you can use this app to work around the problem?
Out of the ones I've messed around w, "velis auto brightness" had the best options and brightness curve. You can hold your phone in different light environments and manually set where you want the screen brightness to be within a graph inside the app. I really like it
To everyone who hates auto-brightness, THERE IS A SOLUTION
There's an app called Velis Auto Brighiness
This app will run in the background with minimal battery requirements and control all the brightness features on your phone and do it extremely accurately. I've been using it since someone suggested using it in the XDA forums.
Hey OP, I just found this amazing app that fixed the brightness problem. We can also create custom curve to set brightness in our liking! Hopefully this will help you.
Just found this AMAZING app that makes auto brightness great. This post inspired me to research for it and thankfully there is a good solution.
I don't think it's the light sensor, it's just Samsung's dodgy implementation of auto brightness. I got tired of it on Nougat and installed Velis Auto Brightness (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.velis.auto.brightness)
I like that you can set a custom curve for the brightness vs ambient light levels and it actually remembers it.
That fixed the issue for me on Nougat, and when Oreo dropped onto my phone, I disabled it to live with the newer 'learning' auto brightness levels with Samsung's Oreo implementation. That lasted a week, the autobrightness toggle often would switch to off and the brightness levels were all over the place. I reenabled the VAB app and living sane again.
This app allows you to configure a screen brightness curve that adjusts the screen brightness according to the rooms brightness. The app will overwrite all manual changes to the brightness. You may need to install an app locker like keepsafe and tick the prevent uninstall option to prevent her from uninstalling the app and modifying it's settings(also lock velis auto brightness). Don't forget to explain why having your brightness at high levels is bad.
> screen overlay
This is the app that was causing the problem for me. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.velis.auto.brightness
As soon as I uninstalled it - I could select "allow" again like normal.
Is there a reason you can't use another app? I've found that this app works beautifully. I tweaked the brightness settings and have no issues. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.velis.auto.brightness
But it keeps conflicting with apps that require a permission or something by saying "screen overlay detected" more than half the time.
Which can get very, VERY annoying.
I then started using Velis Auto Brightness (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.velis.auto.brightness&hl=en) and did this:
- use the setting AMOLED Dim
- adjust the max and min values (I raised the min value up a bit cause it was too dim for my liking)
- change the sensitivity so that it doesn't keep fluctuating the brightness (haven't found the sweet spot yet)
- there's an option in the app that if you tap an x number of times quickly, it'll refresh the screen brightness. This conflicted with my screen cause I type fast - so I changed it from 3 (default, I think) to 300. I think it's determined on a per-second basis, but I'm not sure, and there's no way I can type 300 characters in one second either...
This definitely beats stock adaptive brightness, which can get either too bright or too dark, and spaz out when it wants.
Edit: I hate formatting on Reddit.
Velis auto brightness - highly recommend to everyone! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.velis.auto.brightness
You can give this brightness app a try, it's very customizable for auto brightness level vs ambient light level. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.velis.auto.brightness
I have found that Velis Auto Brightness works better than the Android adaptive brightness on some devices.

There are a few auto brightness apps that you can use such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.velis.auto.brightness . I personally stick with the stock auto brightness option.
I think Velis Auto Brightness works better and it feels less intrusive than Lux's overlay.

Velis Auto-Brightness works well. Advanced settings does have an option to reduce maximum brightness.
I use this app to fix auto brightness on MIUI v13 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.velis.auto.brightness

Velis is also forgotten but may still work https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.velis.auto.brightness
This should help: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.velis.auto.brightness
You can set a custom curve with different smoothing parameters.
that slider really reminds me of Velis

Thank you Velis Auto Brightness for fixing my redmi note 4.
It's a shame this app is abandoned by the devs.
You might have to play around with the settings and curves, but Velis works pretty well on my end.
Have you tried Velis Auto Brightness? Ugly, but does the job.
Maybe this? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.velis.auto.brightness No wifi options though.
Try Velis Auto Brightness, it rocks! It was developed by a dev from XDA, and it works incredibly well.
By the way, i'm using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.velis.auto.brightness&hl=en and it works great. I'm not affiliated with this app in any way, it just works for me.
