Shortcut to backlight brightness tab?

Apologies if this has been asked before, I did search first!
Is there any way to make a shortcut to point to the brightness tab (the slider) for the backlight? The backlight app seems to be accessible by MyCPL.cpl and Backlight.exe, but using the usual syntax to get to a specific tab, ctlpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,0,2, doesn't work.
Any ideas?

Give a try to cplmain.cpl,6 instead - see my related article at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=640&more=1 . Haven't tested this on my Universal but, given that almost all WM5 devices I've tested use this, I think it'll work on the Univ too.
Actually, mycpl.cpl,0,2 was only used on some old, ppc2k2 only models like the iPAQ 3660

Nope, not working. cplmain.cpl,5 gives me the 'about' app and cplmain.cpl,7 gives me 'screen orientation' (cplmain.cpl,7,2 gives me 'text size', etc.) but cplmain.cpl,6 (cplmain.cpl,6,0 etc.) does nothing.
'Backlight' is accessible using MyCPL.cpl and Backlight.exe as I mentioned, but unless the syntax is different for these than file.ext,app,tab, neither allow you to make a shortcut to a specific tab

Interesting, will also give it try

Hi!
I am looking for such a method, too. On my device works cplmain.cpl,6. But that only leads me to the backlight options. I cant figure out how to go to "Brightness" cause hats waht I am looking for.
In the end I want to dimm my brightnes with a hardware button.
Anyone an idea? Or an programm that does that? (PocketPlus dont work for me)

If I remember correctly, there should be a button on your universal that changes the backlight setting. If you press the button on the side with the lightbulb on it (next to the slider) the brightness of your lcd changes. Tap multiple times untill you get the disired effect

Changing Backlight with Fingers!

hi Guys!
I'm searching for a possibility to change backlight like in MobileShell!
A Programm/Tool, that shows me a Dialog in wich I can select a brightness with the fingers...
I tried Mortscript, but it doesn't work with XDA Terra (or I'm just too stupid?)
Does anyone know a solution?
Thanks a lot!

you can use HTC Home.
In launcher modus. There is an Butten for it.

I would like to use it in Batterystatus! So I don't want to use a new Plugin....
Is there a chance to emulate what HTC Home does?

FolioWidget

0.4
it's a widget : add it to your deskop
tap on the clock the open the control menu
Resize this widget to something like 4*1
What's up ?
- VM heapsize tuning for better performances in big applications
- Wifi network SSID shows on the widget
- Change LCD density ( select new one and folio reboot with the new one, the trick is not permanent )
Like ever if you like click Thanks
I do this on top of my job so there's few chances i respond to personnal mp.
I'm sorry for the inconveniences but i'll try to read yours comments.

very good !
thank you !
any news for my requested app ? (shortcut to Account Sync)

Great!
Great job!
Thank you!
One question. How do I resize the widget?
Thanks.

Resize is only possible with some home like ADW. Launcher Pro require the paid version and with zeam you have to reinstall the widget

that is much easier for you to do.
Shortcut -> activities -> Settings -> accounts? i think

I already know this method, I am the author.
I am looking for a program to do that because I'd like to have the shortcut in the appdrawer.

Hi all,
another question :
is it a way completly disable sensitive button at the right of the screen ?
I'm using TNTMod and I don't need these buttons because there already at the top of the screen.

would a value of 255 (ff) not do it? at least make then incredible unresonsive or?
i will check the kernel registers if we got some other bit's to modify so we can disable them..
btw,
looks like Malata actually took Honeycomb 3.0 solutions into account here buttonwise.

Thank you, i will try this.

i've tried 0x0000000 and 0xfffffff and no effect..
maybe I need to reboot ?

is it a value to disable buttons ?

nobody has found a way to disable the Folio 100 sensitive buttons ?

Would it be possible to make the battery in the widget, give some animation?

disable hardware(soft) buttons completely hack

here is your fix , you asked for:
here is the command to disable light buttons completely (will enable after a poweroff)
DISABLE BUTTONS
Code:
echo regctrl=0x8800 >/sys/devices/virtual/input/input7/tegra_capsensor
ENABLE BUTTONS
Code:
echo regctrl=0x8801 >/sys/devices/virtual/input/input7/tegra_capsensor
Requested by user, not my idea here. but probably very handy with AndroidOS 3.0 when its out. (good for TntMod as they got buttons on screen)

thank you Dexter
Sol Ido, is it possible to add this trick in your next release ?

Nothing happens because you're not on official rom which can be activated by only that which gives other options regarding hardware, etc.. Anyway i read if u install elixir 1 you see which screen you have.
