The Blue Light Filter mode can replace 3rd party apps like cf.lumen, Twilight and Lux's night mode. It's a stock method of customizing the display color temperature.
ASUS should copy a leaf from cf.lumen's book and add the capability to automatically calculate sunset by your GPS coordinates and turn BLF mode on at night! Later at night they can add option to automatically change color temperature to more red tones (i.e. setting the BLF mode slider all the way to the right) like cf.lumen's sleep mode!
Thanks to Splendid display tuning, I no longer have cf.lumen installed. But! I do miss the convenience of automating things. Having the display tuner widget in quick settings is nice but no cigar!
Similarly when bright sunlight detected, the Splendid app could have option to turn vivid mode on.
Cyanogenmod12 and by extension CyanogenOS12 already has both these options (night mode and CABC for bright sunlight mode similar to vivid) available in their display options settings.
Perhaps these suggestions should be forwarded to Asus...as they seem to be set on providing timely updates to the phone(awesome), they might listen. I do like the Splendid app.
I agree. And now that we have this option: @Asus_USA
Maybe a rep here would forward the suggestion?

Timed profiles for Splendid would be great. A more effective colour temperature adjustment, coupled with a considerably lower minimum screen brightness on a hardware level would make this phone SO much more usable for late-night reading.

Looked on google for this and found other people asking about it but no answer so far.
If i leave the screen brightness set to auto-adjust, the phone NEVER adjust the screen brightness down to it's lowest setting, even if i am sitting in a pitch dark room. Is there some way to adjust the range of the brightness setting so that it will actually use the lowest brightness? It seems beyond stupid that in a pitch dark room the screen doesn't go down to it's lowest level.
Most of the time i find the screen to be too bright, so if i could adjust the auto-brightness over-all to be darker, that would be cool too.
failing that, is there an app that makes adjusting the brightness quicker then digging down into the settings to move the slider?
thanks
I use widgetsoid (free) from the market place to do what you speak of and 7 other things as well.
i think i already have something that does what it looks like widgetsoid does. I have a button on the screen that i can tap that switches the screen between 3 brightness settings. i was just wondering if there was one where you could tap and get a slider. Seems silly to have the actual slider itself on the screen since that would take up so much room. But a button that would open up into a slider would be nice.
I'd still prefer to be able to adjust the autobrightness settings and use that if possible.
You can set autobrightness levels with tasker. There's a thread floating around with details.

Again, Widgetsoid does this. Once it is setup, modify, settings/Brightness Modes and set it Custom (Seekbar) or use one of the other 2 settings. You can change those as well with custom. Exit. Go to toggle and you have slider with one click on one button, which option of adding 7 more.

ah ok, cool, thanks. I'm going to see if i can find the thread about tasker since i'd prefer to have auto-brightness working better. if that fails then i'll give widgetsoid a try.
thank you
Just what I was looking for Screen brightness less then 10% and Less then Curvefish's toggle to 4%. I was looking for the 1% brighness and I think i got with the Widgetsoid only compaint is no exit after setting... Thanks
How can I decrease the minimum brightness? The fire simply does not get dim enough for me to read books in bed.
Fully rooted.
I sometimes reverse the colors so that it is white on black while reading at night.
Try useing Display Brightness v.2.2 (from RubberBigPepper).
It gives you far better control of brightness in 1% incraments and it can adjust the brightness to a lesser level then the KF controls allow. By it's measurmement the KF controls only scale from 11-100%, so you can definatly get the screen dimmer and save power. Best of all this program will work on Non-Rooted machines and thereby becomes a must for all KF users.
Look for it in the market place or other locations as a sideloaded APK.
Enjoy!
On a rooted device, you can also use AdjBrightness (in the Market) or my RootDim (in the Market, Appstore and here). Both are free and will let you go one step below what looks to me like the 1% minimum setting of Display Brightness, to 0.4%.
On a non-rooted device, you can also use my paid ScreenDim (in the Market and Amazon appstore), which adjusts brightness down 0.4% and also has a separate contrast control.
But if you want the on-every-screen adjust bar, Display Brightness is the way to go.
Awesome guys! Thanks.
Edit: I could not get RootDim to keep the brightness after exiting the app even with SuperUser privileges.. Display Brightness works like a charm!

Ran across the same issue. This solved it for me:
Screen Filter
(search android market, as forum won't let me post the link)
Works great!, and it lets you add a custom widget to the desktop to dim and undim with a single click.

You might try DisplayBrightness. It puts a custom slider that is available on EVERY screen to adjust brightness down to 1%.

I don't have a rooted Kindle, so I can't test it. Is Safe Mode off? Have you tried setting the lock in RootDim?
RootDim, AdjBrightness and ScreenDim (and I have tested ScreenDim heavily on the Kindle Fire) will get you to a slightly dimmer level (0.4%) than the 1% Display Brightness does, though that probably doesn't matter to you.

Yeah, I tired the 'lock' setting, but did not work.
Actually I was thinking that below 1% might be necessary for my needs. I'll check those apps out.
I recommend flashing cm7 and using rendering in settings menu for a nice Retro red or green monitor effect!

You can also get that with ChainFire3D on a rooted device.
just wondering what you guys recommend for
(1) Screen Mode
Adaptive Mode (I turned this off... doesn't seem to make a diff?)
Dynamic
Standard (currently set on this)
Professional Photo
Movie
wanted to try Pro Photo and Movie.. but both make the screen yellow.. and reds washed out
(2) Auto Adjust Screen Tone
just wondering if you guys keep this on or off?
(3) Auto Brightness?
do you guys use this or manual adjustments?
(4) Power Savings - Use low power level for screen
1. Dynamic : because i love bright & vivid colors
2. Turned off : to preserve the bright & vividness of colors
3. Turned off : whenever i need i just slide the brighness slider.
4. Turned on : for most activity. Turned off while gaming
Standard, off, off, off. Brightness slider is set to about 10%.
Lux auto brightness for brightness control and photo display settings for correct colour reproduction.

photo display settings? is that an app?
or are you referring to pro photo mode?

No, I refer to pro photo mode in screen mode. Please note that I have extensively used Andreilux Perseus kernel and I love the color correction as explained in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38497753&postcount=3
What I know from what I read from different posts and my own experience, the natural screen mode in Cyanogen mod and pro photo in new Samsung devices is very close to Perseus kernel improvements for correct color reproduction. I love "washed" colors
One more thing, the "reading mode" is very good too, since when you add up to 20 applications in this mode in the settings, it automatically reduces contrast when you run one of these apps. I use it especially for Dolphin browser to read papers etc. It turns back to normal when you close the app.
Last but not least; general brightness level of Note 3, especially under direct sun light, is much better than Note 2, but especially under low light I have to manually reduce the brightness not to disturb my eyes.
Regards.
I'm using the pro photo setting. For brightness settings I'm using the app Lux to fine tune autobrightness which has separate day and night profiles. The app can darken your screen below the 0% setting by applying a filter on the screen. Very useful for totally dark situations.

shall give Lux a try too... I had it on my MBP but didn't really like it.. :X
hmm what about Auto Adjust Screen Mode?

I've been trying out Reading Mode... but it is making the screen really dim though.
Do you have power-savings mode ON?
No, I only use the power saving mod when I have around 15% battery left and I do not experience any dimnes in normal use.

been using the Professional Photo mode. I must say I'm liking the colors much better
anyone tried out LUX?
hmm.. seems like Professional Photo mode.. causes a level of yellowing?
Adaptive at 50% Auto Brightness.
Unbelievable colours at an unbelievable power consumption rate, much better than my N2.
Does anyone know a clever way to detect the active display in tasker? Currently I use luxauto brightness to keep the OLED display dim in the house, but the same filtering it does to get below 0 brightness also grays out the eink side, particularly when I have it face down on a desk. It's easy to detect and act on that state with the proximity sensor, but it would be nice if there were a way to trigger based on active display so that I can disable lux in low brightness situations where it isn't face down and I am using hte eink screen.
I was able to figure things our digging through the source code Jeopardy posted, sorry for not digging around more before posting. If anyone else wants to replicate here are the basics, I can provide more detail or screenshots if needed. I disable lux in tasker with a profile that looks for event intent received "yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_START". I have a task that reenables lux whenever the intent yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_STOP_MANUAL or yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_STOP are received (2 profiles, each trigger the same task).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/yotaphone-one/development/widget-yota-toolbelt-t3145462
It's great to see you found use for my findings. Just out of curiosity, is there a specific reason you could not just use android's automatic brightness? I think you could even modify the threshold levels for it with some xposed module.

Lux seems to do things much cleaner, allows sub-zero brightness, and is more customizable as far as number of points and smoothness of transitions. I noticed that gravity box might have had a way to do things like this after I installed lux.
I don't have the option to do that by the way
There are 2 methods for blue light filtering:
Apps that recalibrate the display via KCAL. These require root access and usually give better results in terms of color reproduction because they can adjust backlight (for LCDs) and gamma. Not all displays support recalibration, though, and some ROMs may not have KCAL support built in. Recommended: Night Light
Apps that draw a darkening overlay. Root access is required to draw over the status bar, hide the overlay on screenshots and keep sensitive tasks (like confirming an app installation) working when the filter is active. Works well especially on OLED displays. Mildly reduces color quality because less than 256 steps of brightness will be available for the color channels you dim. Recommended: Red Moon
There is no harm in trying either app, they are both open source. They don't apply permanent changes so you can just uninstall them if you have issues. Check if you can add the app to drop-down system shortcuts for convenient control.
