Make sure reactivation lock is off and try again

Also make sure you have the following

USB debugging on

Samsung drivers for USB

To enable USB debugging

Rooting the s6 safely (knox android pay etc)

Hi all,

Hi guys surely this is an easy fix but I can't seem to find it. I have been using a pattern lock on my phone quite some time but now I would like to go back to none but now for some reason it's not an option for me. I have tried clearing credentials, and removing guest profile and it still saying the same thing. Can anyone help me out?

Are you using company email? After I added my company Outlook email account, I'm forced to use pattern/pin/password lock. This can't be disabled otherwise than removing exchange/Outlook account.

Fixes autobrightness and minimal brightness level on MIUIv7 (5.x-6.x).

Removes ugly chineese code that sets range of auto brightness levels to 3 (0, 120, 2000). Also fixed code that automaticly sets minimal screen brightness to 40 (now it's 1, before you may see increased brightness slider in manual mode after setting it to minimal level. Now - it's fixed too.)

Also you can change levels manual in module UI

Requirements

Your phone must be rooted

Xposed framework must be installed first

Instructions

Install the module

Activate module in Xposed Installer

Reboot

Enjoy!

Credits

Thanks to urix2003 for autobrightness patch and to anvert for his thoughts about minimal brightness level!

Sent you a pm a few hours ago. Still having bootloops with the newest apk you've provided. Not sure if this is related or if it matters but the phone is on manual brightness before installing and activating the module. I've rebooted the phone and right after setting the brightness to automatic, the phone rebooted and went to endless bootloop

Hi [MENTION=5147774]xxxTy3uKxxx[/MENTION],

I just installed this module on my mi5, running miui7.2.4 stable global. I find that the module defaults you have provided are too bright for my indoor uses... I would like the screen to be dimmer at lower ambient light environments.

I tried to fiddle with the module defaults, but I couldn't really understand what "Automatic brightness levels" and "Automatic brightness LCD backlight values" mean, and how they are correlated. Could you please add the explanation for these parameters to the module description?

I appreciate your time and effort for this initiative. Thank you.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Nobody67:
Does anyone makes that module to work on Mi5 ?
[Xposed Framework Modules] luky_zd:
I'm using mi note pro, on latest xiaomi.eu firmware 6.5.26 and it works. Display is brighter. My question is can it go more brighter?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Comby_sk:
Minimum brightness still too high. Mi3 MIUI 8

MI 3W Tapatalk
[Xposed Framework Modules] Crim Soukyuu:
I second this. My current guess is that "automatic brightness levels" are the values of the ambient light sensor (= how bright or dark the environment is), and the other is the LCD brightness.

So to dimm the display more when it's dark, you lower the value at the first position. Example:

1, 6, 11, 31, 81, 121, 226, 321, 551, 801, 1251, 2001, 3001, 5001, 10000

35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120, 140, 150, 160, 200
^- change this to 25

Min LCD brightness is 0, but what is the max value?
[Xposed Framework Modules] martheen:
Judging from Light Sensors Values Information thread on rootzwiki (sorry can't post link yet) , it seems to be 255, it's for Droid X port, but it's likely 0-255 is universal, 8-bit value and all.
[Xposed Framework Modules] arddy1:
Thanks, it works smoothly in miui 8 redmi note 3

This is real auto brightness! The default one is garbage, I never use it...
[Xposed Framework Modules] didacgil9:
Something similar for MIUI8?
[Xposed Framework Modules] hawkdown77:
What's difference using this mod and original redmi note 3?

How I should configure this?

I think that is too bright inside my house... How I slow brightness in apk?
[Xposed Framework Modules] mctiew:
Is there any instruction to tweak the numbers ? For me it is too bright when in dim light. Mimax miui 8 here. Before applying it, it was too dim.

Boot loop on Redmi Note 4

[Xposed Framework Modules] chewybar:
Boot loop x 2 on Redmi Note 4 (Global Rom 8.0.3)
[Xposed Framework Modules] nor-ric:
On the Mi5 the default autobrightness levels are:

The default autobrightness LCD backlight values are:

I didn't like the default brightness for indoor use. It was too bright for me. I've now set the following values thanks to this Xposed module.

Autobrightness LCD backlight:

I haven't touched the autobrightness levels for now (I use the default values).

Hope this helps.

Edit: I forgot to add that you can check the current brightness values in Settings > Device Info > repeatedly tap on "kernel version" > ambient light sensor test. There you will find the current backlight value and the ambient light reading (this one is called DAC). While the backlight value is clearly one of the values you've set in "LCD backlight values", the DAC reading doesn't seem to relate to the "autobrightness levels". Does anyone know anything about this?

'bootloop' redmi note 3 pro (SD), miui globe rom 7.1.5. On stable 8.1.1.0 (and I thought on 6.12.29) module worked fine. All miui 8 versions MM 6.01

Does MIUI 8.1 also have this problem with brightness?
[Xposed Framework Modules] wizard8400:
Can someone find a solution for minimum brightness on MIUI 8.6 (xiaomi.eu) please I've tried everything (this module, overlaying framework-res values.xml, recompiling framework-res.apk after mods) nothing works...
[Xposed Framework Modules] nor-ric:
What values did you put in framework-res.apk? Try the values I posted above.
[Xposed Framework Modules] wizard8400:
modifying and compileing framework-res.apk caused boot loop, tried some fixes and I finally ended up booting with a modified framework-red.apk and every app start crashing, but the automatic brightness did not read the values I've put, I think automatic brightness in miui 8.6 is controlled by something else, it doesn't use the values from arrays.xml
[Xposed Framework Modules] nor-ric:
Hi guys,

just to let you know that you can tweak your autobrightness settings even without Xposed. :)

And it's easy too. You only need root.

Credits to: http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=293853

1) decompile your framework-res.apk (I won't cover the decompile how-to, sorry)

2) open the file res/values/arrays.xml and search for "config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues"

3) there you have your autobrightness values (those same that we used to set in the Xposed module): use them as a reference for your custom settings

4) download the attached zip file, open it and tweak the theme_values.xml file with the values you want

5)

delete the ".zip" extension

from the file and push it to /system/media/theme/default/

6) from your file manager (or from TWRP) set permissions (chmod) 644 to the file

3) reboot

And that's it! :cool:

The values included in my attachment are my current values on my Mi5, on Xiaomi.eu 8.5.2.0. I have lowered the defaults a lot.

Note that values vary across devices and may also vary across different rom versions.

Update: I've bumped the lowest brightness level a bit, because it was too dark sometimes.

hello.can I install this mod on redmi 4 prime with miui 8?or I ll get bootloop?many times at night,even on auto,screen dim goes really low that I cant see anything!thanks.
[Pixel C Accessories] BaristaBot:
so, i'm seeing some posts about the wrong kind of USB-C cable frying devices. three questions.

1 can anyone recommend a good USB-C to A cable for data? my computer doesn't have c, and i want to be able to access adb and root and all that jazz.

2 are there any cables that allow charging safely? i hate proprietary chargers, and the one they provided is way to short. Answered

3 i see everyone ordering from amazon, but I live down the street from best buy. i'd rather just go buy one now. i don't want to go ask an empoyee because they may not know which cables work, so i'm asking here in case anyone has bought one from a big box store.
[Pixel C Accessories] Yadao:
More than likely the only one you'll find at Best Buy is the Apple branded one, which works just fine but is over priced.

The only other USB C cables I've seen there have been various adapters.

I have a "j5create" brand USB A Host adapter from there that works just fine. Only reason is that I used to have an employee discount, otherwise almost every accesorry at that store is overpriced.
[Pixel C Accessories] clockcycle:
Play it safe and don't spend a lot of money. I recommend this USB A to C cable from Belkin F2CU032BT06, comes in various colors and it is USB-IF certified..

Best Buy has them for $20 but can be bought for about $10 shipped http://www.ebay.com/itm/Belkin-MIXIT...W/322397095951

MUST boot straight to recovery after you Odin TWRP. If you boot to the OS first it will remove recovery...

Link TWRP. Choose 3.0.1-0 or 3.0.2-0

DO NOT CHOOSE 3.0.2-1

Well the korean varients of this phone have recieved marshmallow and it seems that there are no interface changes ecxept for new icons :/ but it does add doze and the permission manager and all of the "underground" features marshmallow has to offer. When it comes to us though we will at least get the MM bootloader and all that jazz then we can develop S7/S7 edge roms for our device :)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] djxn40:
Sad news... I was hoping for the theme store... I guess I'm going to get the LG G5. It has all the features I'm looking for and it will be easily unlocked... I love my s5. I waited for the s7 just to find out it was locked up. So I ain't going that route. Just hope for good development for the G5!

side note just flashed back to MOAR checked the modem and it says im on 0G1 not 0K4.. .. as far as i know a nandroid back up does not replace the modem.. could there bee an issues with the wrong modem being installed?

---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

When i flash 0k4 i tell odin to do a Nand wipe, so im not sure what could possibly be the issue other the knox being tripped of course. I can tell you that even when im on 0K4 it shows me as on a custom binary
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] pyrochance:
Side note: If you really ODIN'd the OK4 tar, you should not have OG1 modem, are you using mobile odin or the desktop version?

I had the same issue you were having with safe mode still giving the modified system error. I had to odin the full tar. OK4 back to stock everything. the only items i have checked are auto reboot and f.reset time.

Dont

nand erase all.

with everything back to stock system status should be official.

if you are still having issues. as long as you have stock recovery, you can put the OP's update zip on an sd card, boot to recovery and update from external card. but you

MUST

be using the OK4 stock recovery!

Ok looks like i fixed it.. I used Samsung Smartswitch to do an emergency Recovery and Initilization.

Try a different USB cable instead, I was using a stock Xbox One controller cable to connect to my S5 and it worked great when I was on OA6, but once I upgraded to PCA, I had encountered the same problem that you discribed. Then I tried another cable and the problem has gone.

I have another annoying problem though, a notification for SDCard shows up every time I reboot the phone, seems like no one else has this same problem including one of my friend who has a Sprint S5 too. Any ideas?
