This handy widget will make your screen up to 20% brighter than the
highest brightness setting at the touch of a button. High
Brightness Mode Widget uses a hidden hardware setting to unleash
the full potential of your AMOLED screen.
***Requires root
***Requires compatible hardware (see below)
Can't see your screen in the bright sunshine? Simply add the widget to your homescreen and click it to turn high brightness mode on or off.
On Android 7.0 (Nougat) and later you can add an HBM tile to your quick settings.
Auto mode will automatically turn high brightness mode on or off depending on the brightness of your surroundings. You can adjust the threshold for triggering high brightness and set auto mode using either the app widget or quick settings tile (on Android Nougat and later)
This app can maintain high brightness mode even if you turn your screen off and on (and even across reboots!)
For Samsung phones it is recommended to select the "Disable autobrightness when HBM is on" option if you use the system's auto brightness. This setting will prevent the system from turning off HBM if you enable it but still allow you to use auto brightness the rest of the time.
*Requires ROOT*
*Works with:*
*Most Samsung phones including Galaxy S6/S7/S8 and Note 6/7/8
*Most Motorola phones with AMOLED screens*
*Nexus 6*
*Nexus 6P Pixel Pixel XL and Pixel 2 require a custom kernel such as ElementalX or Franco*
*OnePlus 3/3T/5/5T. High brightness mode does not give extreme brightness on OnePlus like on other devices but it still allows you to see the screen in the sun. OnePlus users can use this app to force High Brightness Mode.*
The HBM Widget requires root because this is a special hardware setting it does NOT simply increase your brightness slider to max. This is significantly brighter than max brightness on most devices.
*Tasker integration with these intents:*
flar2.hbmwidget.TOGGLE_HBM (this toggles high brightness mode)
flar2.hbmwidget.HBM_ON (turns on high brightness mode)
flar2.hbmwidget.HBM_OFF (turns off high brightness mode)
