Thanks, runs on my S9 on AOSP 8.1. Affects auto-brightness a bit but seems to work as intended. Great work!

Wrong section man

Can someone explain to me what this app on s9 does?

Its suspicious

@amakuramio
Not sure why the installation is prevented.
The application itself just creates an accessibility overlay and changes the permission for /sys/class/backlight/panel/brightness to prevent access from liblights.
Edit:
Seems like this is the common behaviour for non-playstore apps: disable Google Play Protect

The brightness does not change while sliding the slider, only after releasing the slider. Please fix, thx.

Can this work on other models (like my Galaxy A3 2017 AMOLED) ?

The overlay itself should work on every device, only the brightness slider override that requires root is device dependent.
But this isn't particularly well-working, i will probably ditch this override and just add a widget slider so it can be used without root.

So is this root only? Cause I saw my screen change brightness immediately after turning accessibility access on, and I'm not rooted, stock rom.

@qb74
Root permission is used to prevent liblights (android system brightness handler) from accessing the kernel brightness path (/sys/class/backlight/panel/brightness).
The brightness slider on the notification bar then only modifies the transparency of the accessibility overlay, not the display (kernel) brightness.
Without root permission it controls both the overlay and kernel brightness, but this prevents the pwmfree usage as the kernel brightness needs to be at 100% to avoid pwm dimming.

Trying out on s8+. But weird thing is, when enabled, if you lower the brightness to 0% the screen becomes completely dark. It should not happen like this, I presume. The app has root access too.

@parser
The lights service might be different on the S8 and is not correctly halted by the application.
Here is a first version that works without root and only relies on the accessibility service: (link in the original post)
It locks the device brightness at 100% and uses it's own slider to control it.

So this version works with non-root? Great! Why does the brightness need to be 100%? From the looks of your graph, all brightness levels seem more consistent?

Only the device (kernel) brightness needs to be set at 100%, at this stage the amoled panel only uses a short 59hz vsync signal (this is the small amplitude on the graph).
Anything below ~95% uses the amoled typical 240hz pwm dimming.
The pwmfree overlay now dims the full kernel brightness by decreasing it's transparency, this is somehow similar to lcd contrast dimming.
@parser
The new version should work on all amoled devices, although the widget type brightness slider is a bit less comfortable than the android system one.

Trying it atm, the only down side is, as u said, adjusting the brightness by hand. If I am in a game and need brighter screen, have to go desktop and adjust it :/
Would it have an effect on battery efficiency too?

@parser
The overlay is managed by SurfaceFlinger and shouldn't cause any impact. The amoled panel seems to work identical with the contrast dimming and i would guess the battery usage is similar, but i can't tell for sure yet.
As for the brightness slider, i think this can be placed on the notification bar instead, which should increase the usability.

Wootever, you're BEST!
P.S. I sold my Note 8

I installed it but it won't run, s7 stock rooted.

Cometin
What is Cometin
Cometin is a free*, growing collection of tweaks and tricks to optimize your productivity and improve the Android experience.
More information
I can create a separate app for every idea I have. But why shouldn't I put everything in 1 app?
Google announced Dynamic Modules at the IO in 2019
With dynamic features you can split an app into several parts. This is exactly what Cometin is.
Cometin is a growing collection of tricks and tweaks for your Android device, split into modules.
This way you only download the features that you want to use and save your storage space.
Available modules (with some small descriptions)
• Ambient display
bring a customized Ambient display, Always-on-display and wave to wake to your device
• App locker
Lock apps behind a passcode or pattern
• Better rotation
Forces every app to be compatible with every orientation including 180 degrees
• Caffeine
Keep your screen on for a certain amount of time
• Cometin Sync
Sync notifications, and notes between phones and desktops
• Darker brightness
Go below the minimum brightness by applying a dark overlay on top of your screen
• Flip to shhh (beta)
Flip your phone face down to silent notifications (except alarms)
• Heads-up
Hide head-up notifications
• Immersive
Hide statusbar, navigationbar or both
• Parallel
Create a work profile to seperate personal and work
• Remap assistant
Execute a different action when opening the assistant
Is this safe?
Yes! All modules are only served from the Google Play Store, all modules are scanned by Google Play Protect so nothing to worry about!
Installing modules:
The installation of modules is done immediately, and you can use the module immediately after installation.
Updating modules:
Installed modules are automatically updated together with Cometin. No hassle with separate files!
Removing modules:
Module uninstalls do not occur immediately. That is, the device uninstalls them in the background in the next 24 hours.
Request for new features:
Requests for new features are always welcome! However, I cannot promise anything about the actual arrival of these features.
Request your features via my support ticket system. This way you can keep track of the status of features.
Need help or got problems?
If you are stuck or need more information, don't hesitate and contact me via Telegram, XDA or my support ticket system. That way I can best help you.
Did I got your attention?

I enabled it too on my pixel 2 xl and disabled the built in ambient display but when i get a notification there's also a 1 sec lag and shows my stock and then the actual ambient display you have made :/ thanks for working on a fix

Always on display
this app is awesome! i turned on Ambient Display on my Pixel 3xl; is there any way i can have always on display with the new customized display? Right now, i only see it whenever i get a notification.

Nice app OP. Is there network speed indicator that show download and upload speed in notification in future? Mine using mia1 stock rom, if this app can achieve that i would be happier coz no need to use edexposed anymore

When I remapped assistant, it broke calling up the Google Assistant
When I remapped Google Assistant, it broke it. Google Assistant can no longer be summoned by my voice. Is this a bug? Pixel 3 Android 10.

Nice idea! For now just testing ambient display.
Would you consider adding the option to unlink ring and notification volumes? Linked behaviour is very annoying.
Thanks again for you work!

I'm trying out Ambient display on my tablet and I'm not sure I'm using it right. It's enabled, and I've customized it, but the ambient display doesn't turn on my screen when I get a notification. Is it also possible for me to make the ambient display show when I open the cover of my tablet (my case is one of those kinds that have a flap to cover to the front).

Like the app lots - do you think adding an always on to the ambient display might be a good idea for anyone with an amoled screen but no native option?
Like oneplus owners?
Like me... ?

Hello
First of all thank this application.It is essential for me.
I've enabled Ambient Display module. I need when I'm studying to get notifications on the lock screen and see a header of them.
Now when a notification arrives there is a small lag when you press on the screen to enter.
It would be great to be able to configure the time that these notifications are on the screen, as well as the position in the same and the amount of notifications that one needs.
Best regards and thanks again!

Reporting after a couple of days of testing.
Just used the ambient display and it looks fantastic.
Works everytime too.
Apart from the lag that others have noted, i noticed 2 other issues:
a) when this is enabled, screen dimming & screen off seems to be forced. I've noticed the default time reverting to 15 seconds. Even if there is activity on the screen, it still forces the screen dimming and turning off.
b) there seems to be a noticeable increase in battery drain.

If I uninstall the app will it uninstall all modules right then?

I've also noticed screen off time reverting to 15 seconds. Is Ambient Display working fine?

Using the Cloud Dashboard and I noticed Microsoft's "Your Phone" application which connects my Windows computer with my phone no longer connects. Does the Cloud Dashboard preempt this connection? Both applications show my phone's (Pro 7) notifications. Your Phone also gives easy access to photos, allows for SMS messaging from a Windows computer and, with the next Windows feature update, will allow for calling from a computer via a phone. I'd like to keep both application up and running.

The display of ambient display works well. The lag issue that others have mentioned, exists. Due to ambient display however, i see some quirks with forced screen locking etc

Works fine on KOSP A12, OnePlus 7 Pro. Nice to see this working on Custom Roms since arter97s AutoHZ only works on OOS. Ty

Whaouooo your apps is just amazing, i buy it now.
I have test for each apps with fps rate on screen (in dev settings) and it work perfectly, 60 > 120 (Mi 11)
I advise to purpose an option for show FPS on screen
Congrat !

Thanks a lot, it's really nice to know it is useful for someone out there!
I am really busy trying to make it work on as many device as possible, but I will definitely keep the suggestion in mind for the future!
For now, I will add the developer setting in the description so everyone can test it properly.

FYI my device is :
Xiaomi Mi 11 Venus (8GB/256GB) - A11 - AOSP ShapeShift - Rooted
Will also try your app an A12 MIUI 13 when Global version will be available
Thanks

indeed nice app, tested on MIUI MMX A12 MIUI 13 Beta, works flawlessly. Bought you a coffee right away! thanks
perhaps in future updates 90hz as an option would be good dont know if its possible. keep the great work

Will be nice if we will get 60,90 and 120 instead of high and low please
Any other MHz maybe with a Manual Entering Like 50 MHz

I am working on adding all display refresh rates rather than high and low. The refresh rates are given by the display so unfortunately I can't add a custom entering , even if I do, it won't have any effect.

Yes found it and it works great thanks.

Just released beta version on play store with multiple refresh modes now!

Please include that when screen not touched for xx seconds ot would revert to lower RR and when playing video on a browser or whatever it would automatically changed to 60hz. And when paused or video stopped it reverts back to 120hz

Hey, I can't get the low refresh rate (60Hz) working on my Mi 11 (rooted and running xioami.eu 12.5.16 stable ROM)
I had it working after first set up, but after device reboot it's not working anymore no matter what I try
Otherwise, great app and addition of 90Hz refresh rate was enough to pay for the app
Also agree with @Alpha-beta proposal - automatically lowering refresh rate when device is idle (or when watching a video)

May be possible on video playback. Regarding to the first suggestion, when you touch the screen after being inactive there would be a delay while switching modes, which would cause a small stutter.

MI 11 with MIUI 13 doesnt work at all. Beside that, it would be nice to manually add apk to category since vanced apps are not in video cat. Still nice idea and I send you a coffee.

Are you using latest version of SmartHertz (0.3.5)? Is accessibility service enabled?
What's not working specifically? It looks like lockscreen mode doesn't work on MIUI.

As stated in the "wrong" thread I can set 96 hz in normal energy mode and it works but it doesn´t work in power saving mode though 96 hz is set.
Is it technically possible to fix this or do I have to tolerate this?
Thanks!

Existing workaround to bypass 60hz limit on PSM does not work on Z Flip4.

What is recommended the lowest value, if lower then 24 Hz could be set?

Is there any way to set a different minimum refresh rate for the Coversceen on the Flip 4?
Also I've set my app to be on the Beta track but no matter how many times I click Update it never changes to download the Beta.
Great app though!

OK no probs, thanks for coming back to me anyway.
Also one thing I've noticed is my phone keeps going back to Standard even though I've set it to adaptive. Ive been trying to work out if it's related to adaptive power saving or Android Auto but it just seems to be random!

It should work but you can test it.

On Beta 2 of OneUI 5 (Android 13) every morning after being on charge all night, the refresh rate seems to default to 24hz, if I open up Galaxy Max Hz and change to Standard and Back to Adoptive then its fine again.
Only happened on Beta 2 so hopefully when the final version is out in a few weeks it will be fine.

I have the version of One UI 5.0 and Android 13, I used the app for a few days in test mode and it worked well, after some time I decided to buy the license, unfortunately the 120hz frequency in energy saving mode does not work more, can you tell me why? I repeat, it worked for the first few days, I also repeated the enabling in ADB but nothing, it doesn't work anymore

Update:
You can manually install this update. This is not yet available in in-app update.

v8.1.8 in-app update:
-Added menu to disable mods (reset to stock settings)
-Protect battery mod: Added option to show notification when plugged
-Per-app settings: Added option to show non-launcher apps, added filter and sort options

Just installed on Flip 4 setting max refresh rate to 96hz. In normal mode, it works for about 30 mins then stay maxed out at 60hz. Is it because I'm using a trial version or is this a flip 4 bug?

About the app
PixelParts began as a simple High Brightness Mode (HBM) tool. Since then, it has evolved to include a detailed battery information panel, a display saturation level adjuster, charging limiter and more. The app now offers a wide range of features, transitioning from its original function as an HBM tool to a hub for device tweaks and stats on customs, with a lot more planned going forward. The application needs to be included at build time, so this is a project for device maintainers from other ROMS to use if they'd like.

Including PixelParts in your AOSP build
1. Remove HbmSVManager
Commit 1/2 (vendor)
Commit 2/2 (device tree)
2. Clone PixelParts to packages/apps/PixelParts in your AOSP source tree
Run the following cmd at the root of your source tree:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/Evolution-X-Devices/packages_apps_PixelParts packages/apps/PixelParts
3. Include the app at build time
Commit 1/1 (device tree)
This includes the device.mk file from the PixelParts repository, which will add the PixelParts application, its initialization script (init.rc), and the necessary security policies (sepolicies) to your AOSP build during compilation.
Testing new changes
When testing new changes, it is much faster to compile the application standalone and update it manually rather than running a full AOSP build. Please note that some changes may require you to chmod 0666 sysfs nodes and set selinux to permissive. When compiling a full AOSP build, this is not needed assuming the init cmds and sepolicies have been properly configured.
Lunch your device and run the following cmd:
Code:
m PixelParts
This also assumes you are already running an AOSP build including PixelParts as a priv-app in /system_ext.

Thanks! this app helps so much!

Thanks. I guess it is not possible to use it on stock rom? Could not find a reason to test custom roms on this device tbh

Automatic HBM is someting I would like a lot Will be available on OP9 Pro also?

I've just checked the code and it seams to me that it could be improved in that way:
1) set HBM on immediatelly when lux > luxThreshold and hold it in time KEY_HBM_ENABLE_TIME + start timer to be sure that HBM goes off after the amount of time)
2) set HBM off when lux < luxThreshold or time KEY_HBM_ENABLE_TIME finished. Hold HBM off in the KEY_HBM_DISABLE_TIME (to release and cool a display)
This helps to protect the display - typical use case: I have turn-by-turn navigation on, the sun is shining so I want to switch HBM off after a while to protect my screen. It would be great if HBM can go off when temperature is high also (at least battery temperature, better phone temperature)

There are some major improvements coming to the HBM aspect of the app. One of them being the ability to define a temp threshold. The entire autohbm service is being rewritten, and it's preference and sub preferences will be relocated to their own fragment/activity soon.

Moved autohbm preferences into their own fragment. Finishing the AutoHBMService rewrite and adding a temperature threshold now.

That's great. Just my experience today with my OP9Pro. I was reading PDF file outside, on the sun, HBM off and event thought, battery temperature (other sensor is not present) shows 53 °C. I don't know what makes the hear - CPU or display, but it could be good if CPU frequency goes down for a while or display goes to lower brightness. Or 53 °C is OK, I don't know.

One more experience with heating - I've found that when I ride a motorbike, turn-by-turn navigation on, even if display is on low brithness the phone heats a lot and battery is not charged because of that. So some CPU throttling is needed

Most definitely not a result of the app.

Of course not, it's like an advice for the next feature ;-)

The problem with heat, overall, in my experience is related to one thing; the sun. If the phone is charging on my Dash and I'm in a position where the phone is in the sun, the heat goes up quickly. Otherwise, usage has never caused heat with this phone as it did with the P6P

Interesting. I've found that also - the sun. But the CPU is also the source of heat (because I ride after sunset). Anyway, I've found a solution - slow down the CPUs by Tasker.

Great app. Just curious, will adaptive charging work together with stop charging in pixel parts? (Assuming i set the stop charging at 100%) or it will disregard the adaptive charging and charge it to 100% and stop there
