I wonder if the nexus 4 of you are having problem in brightness.

Which problems exactly?
Too dim or bright? Flickering? Problems with the auto brightness?
At least a few informations about the issues should be included when creating a new thread.

Go to Settings>Brightness or whatever its called in english, try manually lowest and highest brightness.
If it works > delete this widget, use better coded ones.
If the screen goes off > hardware issues.

i just try manually lowest and highest brightness. and my screen goes off =(

For brightness, I use LUX app, I manually set brightness levels according to light level!

Asking for help is asking a question so please post threads like this here in Q&A in future. Also try to be as descriptive as possible to help people help you.
Thanks

my brightness slider doesn't work at all, tried the lux program, only subzero works but from zero to backlight its the same, no dim to turn off display.
i backed up and reformated and the brightness does work now, my one was stuck at 50%, it broke some time ago, maybe updating to 4.1.2 or developer animations disabled.
i will occur again soon, hopefully google releases another update.

e-mail setting
Hello,
Yes indeed this vis very interresting rom, however I could not set-up my e-account.
If somone can helpe then this will be almost perfect.
Thanks
Any help?
someone already tested video performance with this custom rom? stock rom 3.2 struggles to even play h264-encoded 720p mkv-files smoothly :-/
in case anyone wants to check it out, here's an example file from one of my favorite tv shows:
http://www.imgden.com/11098/Spartacus.Gods.of.the.Arena.Part06.720p.HDTV.x264-IMMERSE.mkv.jpg
I'm currently on V12. Due to the modding I do (removing certain system apps, editing build.prop, etc.) not sure if it's worth the update, unless anyone can convince me otherwise
Native NTFS support is a great feature. Fat32 and ntfs usb dongles are mounted to the same folder. So the Rom is treating both types of usb devices identically. That is imo a great improvement.
With best regards, maris
I had no intension on loading any mod rom on my tablet but not experimenting mean i will not learn or cannot assist so i took the plunge, compare the loading of web pages to the factory firmware is like night and day, ..this is a keeper for me....
Was going to try this, and then I noticed the bug list (well only 2...)
The rotation lock not working does'nt bother me - I rarely use it.
But the auto brightness seems to work quite well (on Taboonay).
I don't notice it at all, the screen always seems to be at the right brightness,
regardless of the ambient light around (so I guess its working).
Anyone have a workaround for this - or does just not bother people?
How is battery life?

Well since it does'nt seem to make a difference,
I may as well try it - just gotta work out how to do a full backup and then a full wipe - I think my file system is a bit messy...
*edit* Just noticed some people mentioning about the rotation lock working,
It's the hardware (button slider) that does'nt work (I think), I guess the soft one works fine...

It's also an option in display settings, as I posted (at least in very 12). Not sure he would take that out.

I have tested my 720mkv files on just about every ROM. Thor's ROM (I'm running 12 right now) plays the ones that I have FLAWLESSLY whereas they are choppy in every other ROM
My a500 is warming up, very high temperature near the dock connector, the screen on top of the space bar when the brightness is at maximum, the temperature rises quickly and restarts
Hi,
Will any of these ROMS work on the A501? is the 3G / 4G hardware supported?
Thanks

Prism fix on 4.2?

Hi Folks, used Prism app to disable the tegra prism setting to avoid washed out videos, but after updating to 4.2 this doesnt seem to have any affect any more - has the prism defect been fixed in 4.2 therefor negating the need for the app?
Cheers,
Mick

I have noticed that is has been reduced drastically. The slight effect is there (you can see it when exiting a video back to the home screen quickly), but it is nowhere near as bad as it was. Seems they recalibrated it.

Lux Profiles?

I know many people haven't even received their phones yet. But those that did, does anyone have a Lux profile for this phone? I don't like the adaptive brightness on this phone at all. I'm gonna see if I can tinker with Lux a bit and see if I can make a profile. Thanks
Interested to know if anyone's built decent profiles. I started using Lux again and can't seem to get a decent profile setup. feels almost as bad as the stock brightness control.
If you come up with a good Lux Profile please post it here! Having used Lux in the past on many different devices I know what it's capable of. So far I can't get my screen dim enough, which is super annoying at night.
My findings so far:
- Backlight setting does nothing below -1
- I have to "snooze" Lux when installing/updating apps or when approving extra app permissions since marshmallow does not like the overlay.
- Ambient Sensor does not detect dark situations well.
Hope this helps someone. And I hope someone can post a good Lux profile.
Running Lux out the box I am not one for many changes. It is working great on the 6P and I have it setup the same as on N6. I run the wizard and only change few things my liking
Adjust Ascendingly
Using Profile: Day
Only change I set is I hate bright screens in my face in dark rooms like movies, meeting room, bed at night....I have the low "lx" set to -50

Yeah having to disable the screen overlay for all new permissions is a huge PITA but it makes sense. Ive had a hard time finding a setup for Lux I like.

Are you using the paid version? I checked the "Use alternative overlays" in "Advanced" in the Lux app. I haven't had an issue with the permissions since. Hope this helps.
Another option that works if you have root is to check Enable KCAL support in advanced settings.

Automatic Brightness fix [Magisk]

I have installed xiaomi.eu 8.12.6v2.
But in low light conditions the Automatic Brightness sets the brightness to a value which is too dark - for my taste at least.
So I tried the auto brightness fix from post https://forum.xda-developers.com/xi.../miui-auto-brightness-fix-magisk-mod-t3834013.
And surprisingly it seems to work on the Mi Max 3 with xiaomi.eu as well I downloaded the "pie version".

Works well on mine to (xiaomi.eu 8.12.13), thanks.
Would be great if the xiaomi.eu developers integrate this to their rom
I am sorry, but how to install the fix?

Google photos custom roms bug

Has anyone else experienced a bug in Google photos where the image adjusts when you click to view them? In the preview section the images appear normal but when you click on one and view it the colours wash out slightly and looks quite different from the original. You can see it adjust moments after you click on it. It's happening on every custom rom I've tried but is fine when on stock miui. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this when using custom ROMs.

Settings > Didplay > DC Dimming
PE11 or PE+11 ? I am on PE11 and Photos app work normal. Not different between PE and miui or my others old devices like xperia xz, galaxy s6, nexus4. Are you backup your photos? If yes, Which upload method you selected?

I have just re-installed the latest regular PE11 and the issue is there. The photos are backed up normally through Google photos to my Google drive. I have access to a Pixel 5 and the images appear fine there it's just on my Mi 9T the photos app alters the way the image looks. It's not all images though which is strange. Some I can view and nothing changes but then others I'll click on them and the picture brightens and washes out as if a filter has been applied.
I think I figured out the issue. Under the display settings I had selected 'adaptive' but when switched to 'saturated' the issue is resolved. Fingers crossed that's all there is to it but so far so good.
