But the best solution will still be:
Find where the 5 standard values are store and edit them to 5 customs values.
than you would only need to edit mce.ini and nothing else.
The best thing about this mod is that like zerocool2k just pointed out that it can be made with a slider function so that the user can select just the right level to suit.

Since simple brighness app is open source someone could just edit to make it work, it has a slide there to choose between the 5 levels

- have a setting button to set the 5 values
- and than just using the echo commands to settings file and ../acx565akm/brightness

Is LED notification light brighter after this or is it just my imagination?

i haven't noticed, but i would make sense to include the LED light with the light sensor.

Is it supposed to save my brightness level or is it normal to have to set it every time the screen turns off and on?
For example, switch to L1 (very dark), then press the switch on the side to turn off the screen. Press it again and screen is much brighter than L1. Need to press the L1 widget to make it darker again.

mine does not do that, thats weird.
when i select L1, and turn the screen off & on, it stays on L1.
im assuming you did "all" the install things:
Terminal - "root"
go to custom_brightness dir and
edit mce.ini and remove "filter-brightness-als;" from "Modules="
make beecon widgets.
Im using the same install, when i finally made this install, i deleted all the files i used to make this mod and than did the install as i have described here

I think figured out why.
The daemon in init.d sets the brightness level from /home/user/custom_brightness_settings
The beecon widgets store the brightness level in /home/user/bright_setting
every time I turn screen off and back on, daemon is resetting to the value in /home/user/custom_brightness_settings which never gets updated.
Is this your intended behavior, or should daemon and widget both use the same file for storing the brightness level?

I edited so they all use the same settings file and now everything works as I expected, bright level is preserved
