Nightime Brightness
 
Hello fellow N9ers,

I have a habit of reading at night and love the screen rotation mod to keep the screen from not rotating. But what I miss from android days is the ability to bring down the screen brightness. I used something called a Screen Filter app which actually brought a translucent screen in front of the actual screen. It worked great for night.

Does anyone know of a mod or an app that exists for tweaking that?

PS: I dont know anything about codes but can read and implement somethings. I am a biologist. :)

Thanks. I tried the first one and found that it is just like a quick access to brightness. The second one seems to be the same. I anyway keep the screen at zero brightness at night. But that is no way enough. Its too bright and not good for the eye.
But superb screen. i just love it.

Well, I have found turning the color profile to subdued helps a bit. Using FBReader with moderately bright text on black background works pretty well for ebooks.

A proper solution would be awesome though. A Redshift/F.lux equivalent would be nice too.

Yes changing color profile just helps a little bit but that is no way going to take out the brightness. For eg opening a google page when lying in dark can be so bright that you lose your sleep for next 2hrs :D

N9 QTweak maybe helps..


Tweak BB: Display Tweaker

1. Enable/Disable automatic brightness – You can enable or disable automatic brightness. You also have option for tuning of brightness (from 0 to 225), you can use this after disabling auto-brightness.
WARNING: DON’T put this string to "0", this will switch off your screen!!!

Thanks Wallace. I am going to attempt this tonight and let you all know.
But it will be boring to go into the app and type a command every night to get the brightness and again type a command to get the brightness back.

Tweak T-3 gives you a status menu add-on to control the brightness...

Yes. Thats a superb idea. I hope it controls the extra darkness I want. Tonight mission will be to try and implement both these ideas together.
