Good job man! Good job! I'll add to op tomorrow. Now is time to sleep in Italy. Just a question: can you link me your working version of apk manager for ics? I'm using apktool but I want try your version of apk manager for ics.

Thanks and share your bestScreen tweaked version when you have done :)

Ok here are the DL/Links

This version was tested and works with:

Samsung Galaxy S3

Android: 4.0.4

Baseband version: I9300XXLFB

Kernel: 3.0.15-782020

Build number: IMM76D.I9300XXBLFB

Best Screen values:

Using Galaxy Note Values (This is not meant for Galaxy Notes tablet!!!!!)

http://rockdio.org/droid/brightness_Fix_GN-settings-forS3_stock_XXLFB.zip

In between BS and GN values

http://rockdio.org/droid/Low_Brightness_fix_bestScreen_XXLFB.zip

Very low values (I like it dim when inside but it is normal bright on the sun)

Hi mate i tried to play with adding more levels to the array and it is working, i think my hysteresis values need some tweaks as in some light conditions a brightness jump is evident. But I cant find information on how the values interact.

I just used a hysteresis value that is half the threshold on the light sensor but being an automation engineer i know that is not optimal hehe... just i need documentation on to what the hysteresis values correspond to.

Now that i think of it i ended up with 10 Brightness values and only 8 thresholds... (copy and paste error... i think i need 9 of them but can't be brothered...)

also a light meter app sensed up to 160 thousand LUX, while the default android settings go only to 15 thousand... either the readings are 10X or we are missing something... i wish i could find documentation on this.

The advantage of having more levels is that the screen will adjust to several different light conditions thus in theory providing better battery life.

here is the DL / Link:

http://rockdio.org/droid/10Very_Low_Brightness_fix_Best_Screen_XXLFB.zip

I used the the following values:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] lomniom:
I would like to have gnote version. The ROM is here, http://www.wuala.com/lexullde/SGS3/Roms/

I use the latest one, 4.0.4 Final. Thanx mate! =)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mattiadj:
God job mate and your theory is good.

I'm finding the best combination of screen brightness, battery life in every condition but is really annoying since the only way to so that is with try and error method!

I need and app (like the one present in miui) that permits me to set level of sensor and corresponding brightness value. So I can try "live" the mod.

When i have a good results I can modify the framework with these settings.

Anyone can help us to have a system like MIUI or cyano to set the values?

Men, I tried you version for FoxHound v1.3 and I got stuck at Samsung boot logo. Something is wrong there. Can you check please?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mattiadj:
I have checked made and made again. For someone it's working for other one no. I don't know where I have to see to fix it.

Can you ask to Raffaele to make a fixed version?

Or.. Have you some themes installed?

Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 con Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Nazeroth:
I think what you are looking for is this app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nnevod.loggraph&hl=en

It allows you to play with the current light level and your Backlight setting...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mattiadj:
I have tried it but... Not really easy to understand the usage! Have you tried?

Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 con Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] starbucks2010:
@ mattiadj

No themes installed. I use the FoxHound theme (not stock) which comes with the ROM. I really don't know what to ask Raffa. If you want to do something special for his ROM, maybe you should ask him to include your fix in his future ROM or in his OTA.

Best regards.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mattiadj:
Pm to Raffaele sent ;)

Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 con Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Nazeroth:
Yes,

You set the light curve according to the predefined points in the app

if you tick the "Demonstrate seleted brightness value" as you scroll trought the points you get the light level that corresponds.

I just played with it adding my own points and putting the phone in front of a light bulb seeing that the sensor matched the points and set readable light values for each of my 10 points.

Lux | Backlight value

0	| 10

50	| 20

250	| 50

500	| 80

1000 | 100

2000	| 125

6000	| 150

9000	| 180

12000	| 200

15500	| 240

Actually the app does what we are trying to do but it is configurable... the only drawback is that is not native thus another service running on the B/g and eating resources...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Berth666:
somebody should write an app that can save these values in framework-res.apk ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Nazeroth:
Ok i got very smooth transitions and very nice readable screen with my SGS3 using this values:

There are 9 LUX sampling levels, 10 Back light lighting levels and optimized hysteresis correction.

here is the link for the download:

http://rockdio.org/droid/Optimus_Low_Brightness_fix_Best_Screen_XXLFB.zip

This version was tested and works with:

Samsung Galaxy S3

Android: 4.0.4

Baseband version: I9300XXLFB

Kernel: 3.0.15-782020

Build number: IMM76D.I9300XXBLFB

EDIT: The first version had a error, if you downloaded it before this edit the error is there (lux 60k instead of 6k) Now it is fixed!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Nazeroth:
I tought it might be possible to replace array.xml with a linked file somewhere else (usual *nix technique) but not sure it would be possible also if we dont make an interface to modify it at the same time this post will end with a zillion posts about softbricked phones because of badly manipulated array.xml...

The thrill of CWM flashing or compiling and uncompiling the framework-res calls for some guts and thus only more or less savvy ppl tries it... (not me i know nothing but not afraid of breaking stuff lol) for the "normal user" that wont care about the memory or running another servie that market app will do the job better...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mattiadj:
Mate try these values!! I think finally i have obtained the best combination and this will be the next bestScreen values.

Check it out and give me your feedback!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] starbucks2010:
Ok, thanx. Maybe, in the mean time, you should remove the download for FH v1.3 to avoid same problems for others.

Best regards.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Nazeroth:
Those are a bit high the screen looks fantastic but it might end up eating battery... Dont know it is a subjetive affirmation...

from the tests I did between 0 and 50 Lux the screen is readable with the minimal backlight (5 -- 15 )

between 50 and 250 you need a little more (around 50)

everything between 250 and 1000 needs some light (80 - 100)

above 1000 we need to push really high the bar... as you see i spaced the points in the really low

0 - 50 - 250 -500 - 1000

and the really high

2000 - 6000 - 9000 - 15000 (I just realized i made a mistake on the 6k and put 60k i need to fix it...)

Meaning that we have a very fast change for low light situations trying to keep it at the minimum of battery consumption, while the middle values try to stay relatively low and getting really high on the end of the spectrum...

I dont have the means to verify the batt consumption but it is my next step... guess you can call mine BestBatt and yours best screen...

I will correct the 60k value and re-upload... maybe you where not happy with mine because of that jump.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Stephen88:
if possible for the last version 3.5 thanks
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Niconaze:
Be carefull, I think you made a typo mistake. It's not 60k but 6k...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mattiadj:
Yes I'm fixing but is not online now. I'm making some test.

About battery drain i haven't noticed any type of drain with bestScreen value. And I use a lot my phone.

I'm building a last test and I report my experience. For a hight battery saver version you can use default gs3 value or note value

Ok guys thanks also yo Nazeroth i have found the best value for real bestScreen.

Since more rom are in updating due to the latest samsung upgrade, I'll wait until omega, foxhound update are ready.

Then I'll release gnote and latest bestScreen version for these rom.

All previous version (except version for omega 9.1) remains avaliable but not updated.

So is it possible to just adjust the framework.res? Or do I need to flash the zip?

Last time I got a bootloop, maybe because I have a adjusted framework with the power fix (fix for standby time)

Would like the low brightness zip. Don't need to have high brightness is low - normal light level, just when outside in high brightness.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mattiadj:
For low level you can flash the gnote one. I like a more high level to have my phone's screen brilliant without impact for battery and my actual bestScreen values do the trick.

So for you the best solution is gnote version

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Zor Omega:
I just got my first gs3 5 days ago. Love it, but yesterday i noticed a dot on the screen in the lower left quadrant. I could only see it when the screen was off and under direct light. I tried cleaning it, but it was still there, i could also feel a little abrasion when i ran my finger over it. So i take it back to best buy, tell them what's up and they swap it out, no problem. The guy said it could have been either an air bubble in the screen, or the chip could have over heated causing a "blister" to raise up. "Weird cause I've only had it for a few days, and haven't even rooted it yet" So i get it, had to go to work right after so i didn't have much time to play with it. I wake up this morning and i notice that when the screen is on a black background, like the messaging app, or something similar, i can see a "darker" dot in around the same place where i had the problem on my last one, i can also see several other smaller ones around the screen. The dots are easy more noticeable when i turn the brightness up. This is the 16 gig Sprint model, is anyone else having similar issues with their phones? I'm going to go back up there tomorrow to try and swap it out again, hopefully they don't give me and flak about it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jjlean:
Known issue on this type of screen. There is another thread burried somewhere about it. Every gs3 phone has it.

Sent from my SGS3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cgardnervt:
Not every screen has this. However over time every screen will have the problem. As far as I can tell I have none. Plus the other model that I had also didn't have any dots that I could see. I know it could have also been minimal. but it is a known issue with these screens has the other poster stated. Worth returning over? I don't think so.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Zor Omega:
I could understand having this problem a year down the road, but 1 day after first turning on the phone! That sounds a little much. I think I'll try returning it one more time...maybe 3rd times a charm?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] SiNJiN76:
That's AMOLED for ya. If you only see one dot...you're lucky. Hope you don't get one with 5 or more. :angel:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] ingenious247:
The dots/bleed marks should NOT be more visible when you turn the brightness up, they should be less visible at higher brightness.

Take it back, get another one. Keep doing it until you're satisfied.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cgardnervt:
+1!

Also I have an ATT model. I checked a friends and I didn't see any one his as well. He also had ATT. Not that it matters much just saying.

Also you can use this app...CHange your brightness up as far as you would like to help check for the dots/ink...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImRlLmxhcHBlLnRpbS5hbmRyb2lkLmxjZHRlc3QiXQ..

Great small app. Also helps to see if you have any dead pixels!

hope this helps you out...

Cheers...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Zor Omega:
Thanks for the app recommendation. Tried it and didn't see any dead pixels or dots on any of the screens. In fact, i can't see the dots that i did before! I don't know if it's because it's brighter out versus when i was looking last night? I guess I'll keep an eye on it for the next few days and see if it gets worse. Would this problem get worse over time or is this just something that is there and will always be there? Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jmorton10:
I would have kept the first one, if you're critical enough you can find some kind of a defect in any phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cgardnervt:
From what I understand it can get worse as time goes on. same with any burn ins and so on. Again this is what I understand. By the this time next year I will be replacing this device anyways in most cases unless nothing good comes out.

i wouldn't worry about it if its gone. Could it have been some type of bleed effect or something? I don't know. I'd just watch it for now. Check it so often. If you end up not minding it (If there even if an issue..) then i would keep the device. At higher brightness settings is when you can see it from my understanding. Again I could be 100% wrong. Wouldn't be the first time! :P

Cheers...

In mine you can only see it in just the right light. Dull light.

Yeah, I'm just going to keep it i think unless something drastic happens. I could only see it when it was dark and i had to look hard for it, but with these devices you want it to be flawless. Thanks for the comments and such. I'll keep an eye on it for the time being.
