Overview: This app triggers a super high brightness mode that is built in to many phones with AMOLED screens.
Canโt see your screen in the bright sunshine?
This app triggers a super high brightness mode that is built in to many phones with AMOLED screens. See below for a list of phones with built-in high brightness mode (HBM).
Even if your phone does not have the special HBM hardware setting, this app will force maximum brightness, which is really handy when you are outside in the sun.
The HBM Widget requires root on the Nexus 6/6P, Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2 and Motorola phones. Root is required because HBM is a special hardware setting, it does NOT simply increase your brightness slider to max. This is significantly brighter than max brightness on compatible devices.
HBM does not require root on Samsung devices, but in most cases can get slightly brighter if your device is rooted. With root, this app can force maximum brightness beyond what is available in system settings.
HBM does not require root on OnePlus devices.
Four ways to activate high brightness mode:
-Auto mode, which turns high brightness mode on or off depending on ambient lighting
-Widget for your homescreen
-Quick Settings tile (Android Nougat or later)
-Manually in the app
Compatible devices:
-Most Samsung phones, including Galaxy S6/S7/S8 and Note 6/7/8. Works without root on Samsung phones, but will get slightly brighter on rooted devices
-Most Motorola phones with AMOLED screens. Requires root.
-Nexus 6. Requires root for HBM hardware setting
-Nexus 6P, Pixel, Pixel XL and Pixel 2. Requires a custom kernel such as ElementalX or franco kernel and root.
-OnePlus 3/3T/5/5T. Works with or without root on OnePlus devices.
On phones with the HBM hardware setting, this app can make your screen up to 20% brighter than the highest brightness setting. High Brightness Mode Widget uses a hidden hardware setting to unleash the full potential of your AMOLED screen.
Auto mode will automatically turn high brightness mode on or off depending on the brightness (ambient light) of your surroundings. You can adjust the threshold for triggering high brightness mode and set auto mode using either the app, widget or quick settings tile.
This app can maintain high brightness mode even if you turn your screen off and on (and even across reboots!)
For Samsung and OnePlus phones, it is recommended to select the โDisable autobrightness when HBM is onโ option if you use the systemโs 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.
