Edit: Tried it and it works!!! This device is PERFECT now. Stock brightness range is 30 - 255. The app takes it all the way down to 2! No more pining for a dimmer screen guys/gals!!! Get your night reading on.

Note: You'll need root access on your device.

Here are the instructions for installing Superuser:

After you do this I suggest installing the Softkeys app. Many apps have a menu that's not accessible sometimes on the NOOKcolor. The "soft keys" will give you access to this menu when present. This is done by pressing the "n" button then choosing Soft Keys.

AACCK!!! NOTE TO SELF...DO NOT SET DIMNESS "all the way down to 2". 5 is the lowest default button...don't go below that.

I can't see my device to change it higher!!!!

Oh No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe that's why B&N set it to 30 as a minimum.

Good suggestion. The person is not at the home computer. Will try a dark closet at home.

Oh my gosh you are brilliant!!! That's exactly what I'll do when I get home.

Scion has been listenting to me cry in PMs and she, with her sound head, said, "Don't give up yet...there has to be a way to fix it without resetting to factory".

Which is what I thought I would have to do.

When she PMd me the suggestion about the dark closet I literally laughed out loud...mainly because I'm at work and I'd get more than a few looks if I went disappearing into a dark closet....

I'll post back the results...Scion is suggesting I try the dark closet first just in case removing the app doesn't remove the dark setting.

Prior to your suggestion of ADB I was of the mind I was going to be doing a reset tonight...so at least now I have a couple of things to try.

That's the trouble with what I call "auto-erotic software".

(You figure it out.)
