Is there any regedits out there to make the screen brighter.I have it all the way up but it is still not as bright as my 8125.I notice when i hit the camera button just before the app opens the screen gets brighter so i am guessing there must be a way in the registery to make it brighter.Ant help would be appreciated.

Not sure if you've tried the obvious, but..
Go to Start->Settings and then go to the System tab. Second or so app in there is Backlight.
Yes i did.The brightness is all the way up but still not bright enough for me.
I've recently noticed this:
http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJLumosII
Didn't try it, though.
I suggest reading its notes and maybe searching the forum for other's results using it.

Have you considered visiting an eye specialist? j/k
in the wiki i read that that you can get the brightness of the camara u know when u first turn it on how bright it gets
you can keep this as your default brightness
wiki>>>hermes tweaks or other tweaks i think its there somewhere
Thanks for the help i figured it out.
Yes, try VJLumos III - search on this forum.
It's specifically for the Hermes (although is just a minor modification of VJLumos II).

I never leave home without it.

Yep, thanks VJ ! It works really well, and is a must for using the device in sunlight.
1 thing that bugs me about the X1 is that when I make a call or receive a call I press the display with my ear and I'm entering menues and possibly even changing settings without knowing it.
Is there a way to automatically lock the screen when making a call or receiving a call? (like it's done with the power button)
Any help is appreciated
It should be possible to steal the registry settings from a TyTn 2 device or Touch Pro for that setting. Anyone here know the specific registry settings?
As an alternative search the Kaiser forums, someone over there will have the details.
My x1 does this anyway
After being on a call for around seven seconds, the screen locks and only activates again by pressing power, hang up or answer call (Green/pickup)
No idea if this is intended...but its certainly a good idea.

I found this over at the Kaiser forum: S2U2
This app has the screenlock/screenpoweroff feature among others. Check it out. It's free too!
Thank you for the replies!

I works on the X1, but sometimes the app fails to bring itself to the front. So it appears nothing happened when in fact the display is locked. This happens alot in landscape. To set things right again just go to portrait mode and tap the iLock icon twice (if it's already running it will shutdown itself, tap again and it starts).
EDIT!!
I found a fix for the landscape bug. Change display from direct draw to Raw Buffer.

Mine does the same, it turns off and I must press the power button to activate again..
I think that S2U2 was fun for a while but nothing more than that. What i wan't is something that uses the standard lock activated by the "No"-key and turns it on automatic. Dosen't some other WM phone have these issues?

Thanks, got the same Problem and this solved it!
on my trinity it was all well and good until you need to type in an account number or credit card details while using the phone to call a bank or make a payment!

Use "csdevctrl"

It can lock your device in whatever way you want...
Greets !
Hi fotoingo,
This is just what I needed - thanks.
As a non dev and just returning to WinMo after a long absence, please can you advise how I would get the hard keys on the X1 to work during a call and just disable the touchscreen?
Thanks

for all s2u2 fanatics out there. run the version 1.22 its the most stable for X1 and disable backligt check and direct draw off, never hangs or anything at all.
there are better solutions for win mo phones then s2u2, otherwise buy an iphone...
UPDATE
Now working but........
...You need to have ChangeScreen installed for this little app to work. I have included the cab at the end of the post.
I have updated the cab below.
The screen now turns off when the phone is face down and turns back on as you turn it over.
When the phone is face up normal operation is restored.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Previous Release Notes
I put together this little APP after a post by Maverick777.
Install to your device and when you place the phone facedown the backlight will turn off.
When you flip the phone over the backlight will turn back on.
Hopefully, a few people will find this useful.
Thanks for this

I have updated the cab. I suspect it doesn't work because I did not realise you need to have ChangeScreen installed to make my little app work. I am a ROM Flash Junkie and after flashing a new ROM I tried hAndyFlip and it did not work. I had not put ChangeScreen in my auto setup and once installed it worked.
hAndyFlip reads the registry keys to establish the rotation of the device and at present the keys that dynamically change are created by ChangeScreen.
To be honest ChangeScreen is one of the cab's I install after every flash. I would give it a try whether of not you find hAndyFlip useful.
Thank you for this program. But I have a problem.
When you flip the phone over the backlight will turn back on.

This doesn´t work. When I flip the phone, the display remains black.
The other way around (phone is face down) it´s o.k.
Is there something to set up? By the way, i didn´t find an icon of handyflip.

Have you installed ChangeScreen ?
I have it on my device and it works - in fact I now install it after each Flash.
The ICON is in \windows\startup
Would you prefer it in programs ? and maybe the option to toggle on/off ?
I deleted the shortcut in the autostart folder and made a shortcut by hand. I don't know why but now the program works as it should.

I think it's ok how it is because you can "deactivate" it when you push the power button to turn the display off by hand.
Thank you,

Max,
Just realised that I made an error in the cab. The shortcut it creates is wrong ! That was the problem.
I'll recab it tonight and upate the first post.

Thank you, Andy!
Could it be that the application drains the battery? The battery has drained very fast although I haven´t used the phone (Touch HD) as much.
Has someone else noticed higher battery consumption?
Or maybe ChangeScreen is the culprit?

Max, I've a feeling it maybe changescreen.
I'll do a bit of testing and come back to you.
I observed that that the cpu-usage of handyflip is very high (about 17-20%). So I deactivated it and now the battery consumption is normal (although changescreen is enabled).

Dahoarty,
Thanks for this very useful application. It works fine on my HD.
Looking forward for ur next version
This looks like a really useful app. Noticed though that the startup link is still broken and also high CPU usage as per previous posts. One request, when I turn face up and screen comes back on it doesn't just switch the screen on but it also takes me back to the home screen. Can it be adjusted so when I turn face up the screen light comes on only and it will still be in the program I was using (say music player etc).
Cheers
Barney

Hi Barney,
I am working on a new version and I will try to include your request. Please bear with me.
Andy
waiting for update.
have there been any update? I really like the idea of the program, but it doesn workin on my tillt2
got it working.but
so I changed the path in the lnk file and got it working.. but it works a bit too well... it never allows the phone to go to sleep.. If I suspend the device and leave it perfectly still, it will stay suspended . if I move it at all, it wakes us.
I wonder if there is a way to only have the script fire if your phone is face down .. and then once it is face up, it doesnt run again till it is face down again..
I figure that is why the battery drains so much
thanks!
Nice little app - useful when you're listening to music. Thanks, I have been looking for something like this.
hi all
it is really frustrant to change back light luminosity from the ordinary menu
on the other side aebutton does not work with 33 number
I am desperate
sorry,
Don't understand what you are wanting,Or asking? Sorry,, Quig
well thank you for the attention. it is a big problem for me to go every time I have to set the luminosity of the screen I have a program called aebutton but I do not know how to set to activate the luminosity with an hardware burton
backlite
Well, I don't know anything about that app, sorry, someone should come along. Good luck,,Quig
Search for mylostblog mylight. I am using that. not the best but its the closest thing too controlling the back light easier.
thank you very much
Lumos for me, automatic backlight control, never needed to adjust anymore ever since
Hello , I would like to turn off my Mini`s proximity sensor and light sensor , but I couldn`t find out any setting even in the registry editor .
anybody could teach me ?
thank you
I don't know about the Proximity Sensor.. But you can Turn OFF Ambient Light sensor.. In Sence, go to Settings tab->Sound & Display.. Here in Bottom you will get Backlight setting, tap on it.. Then you will see the first Option "Automatically adjust Backlight".. Just uncheck it.. Your Light sensor will be disabled..
I don't know if there any other way..
This didn't work, It merely turns off the backlight adjuster for when you haven;t used your phone in x minutes.
I am currently looking through the registry on the HDMini to try and find the entry...
Has anyone managed to find the registry entry already?
Cheers

Managed to find the HVGA port for CHT and installed, still can't seem to find the option to turn off the ambient light sensor. I think it's back to searching through the registry.
CHT looks pretty cool though after playing around with it...

sure.long press on screen,add free link,toggle switch.there u will find proximity sensor and proximity relight.
Thanks
I tried both of these, and after adding and turning on the options the phone went crazy and the screen kept activating and de-activating. I managed to turn off the options. But still, during a call the screen de-activates so I can't hang up.
I've gone back to checking the registry and have found a couple of entries which could be useful. I'm testing changing a few now. Will post the results...
You could try to use Lumos, its a nice tool to tune light sensor for oneself.

Hello everyone, I'm going crazy for even I disable this proximity sensor, and someone managed?
Me too... I have a broken proximity sensor... I can't hang up... When I make a call the display goes black and never return to light... Is there a way to kill it forever???
Look at this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488991
This is an app, that disables light sensor during calls and also use g-sensor. I have also the problem with proximity sensor (can't hang up after dial), but this app helps me to hang up. After dialing your screen turn off but if you turn your phone to landscape position the screen will turn on again.
It is solution for me.

nice app, thanks! But the feature that the screen turns on in landscape mode does not work on my mini. Do I have to change any setting for that? Also, it says it is possible to have the screen always on. Also that does not work.
similar issue in HTC Aria?
maybe this link for the Aria helps? At least it helped me, I forgot to put back a little rubber cover on the sensor:
