a small tool to quickyly change backlight

in normal condition, the program has two button, high light (9) or low light(1).
especially useful for trinity. because it is very difficulty to view in sunshine.
the program can also run with command parameters -nowin, thus, you can easily
associate it with a hardware button to toggle backlight.

Sorry at my device absolutely no reaction, does not work.
Device is: MDPNA1500 - MD96700 - nearly the same as a MIO A201 with WM5

it's not working on wizard.....

It is working. In my himalaya this stuff is very useful. I have some question for author of this application. Can you make version of this program who change level of backlight to 0 when you tap the dim and level 10 when you tap the bright (now is from 1 and 9)? Good idea what i mean is a change level of backlight only for battery power. If you can make this version ill be very gratefull.
How i can change my backlight level with command parameters? Can you explain this?
Sorry for my English.
Best regards!

Great app, i agree with art12345 but you can make it customizable, so the buttons have value whatever the user like

Would you be able to change this nice program to not come up on the interface at all and just go between 1, 5, 8, and 10. Then back to 1 if hit again. So everytime you run it goes to the next brightness level?
I would like to assign it to one of the function keys so once I hit the key the program runs and increase the brightness.
Thanks,

Please - any chance of having a config file to just change the settings - I'd like to have 0 and 10

I 2nd this option with a Customizable setting and assigned to one BT.

Not working with mine(Atom Life).. Good luck mate..

I was looking for an app exactly like this but couldn't find one that worked well. I remapped backlight.lnk to the left softkey on the Touch and it works well for me.

radical new suggestion
hi jessezx,
it would be great if pressing the button does NOT bring up anything visible, but juz change from "0--> 5--> 10--> 0".
I hope its not too complicated!

Tried it, like it but as suggested by HootanRoosta, having a few brightness level after each press will be most useful. The current brightness is still too high for any real world use.

[SOLVED] CommManager Button height

Hi everyone
I want to reduce the height of CommManager buttons in my Leo ROM so that I can use up to 9 buttns without scrolling! Any chance in reducing this hieght?
Which registry entries are responsible for that?

I never had this idea before, sounds... interesting but impossible too.

I am assuming it is hardcoded in dll!

Hmmm, that's in some way a little bit stupid but I have to live with it! Thanks anyway!

There are no stupid questions, just stupid answers!
keep it up... due to not interest in this idea, this will be closed.

Re-opened in case someone actually does come up with a 'workaround' in the future; also reduces creation of new threads regarding same topic.

It's simple.
Step 1: Resize these images to reduce the buttons height:
Code:
CM_Btn_Detail_Down_P.png
CM_Btn_Detail_Up_P.png
P_Button_Down.png
P_Button_Focus.png
Step 2: Modify this reg to adjust the function icons position, if your mod button height is too small, you must resize those icons:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\UISettings]
"list_icon_top_margin"=dword:3
I've done the modification just like what you need long time ago (9 buttons). Here's the right value for that:
- CM_Btn_Detail_Down_P.png, CM_Btn_Detail_Up_P.png --> 357x57
- P_Button_Down.png, P_Button_Focus.png --> 480x70
and "list_icon_top_margin"=dword:5
And the result:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Disable leds between hard buttons

You know they are LEDs right.... don't really use much power

What would people ask next, I really cannot believe that someone want to turn them off :-D

I wouldnt turn them off, but it would be cool to be able to change their color. Maybe red? Would be a neat feature of some of the themes others here have developed for us.

Honestly, there are only 3 buttons, and they're about the same size. I for one don't need to be reminded of their location via 2 LEDs.

There is no way to change the colour by software.
The are just white.
If you want another colour you have to solder another.
Possible colours are: yellow, green blue, pink, amber, light green, light blue, and cyan.

They are pretty bright.

Wow. The level of ignorance in this post is beyond comprehension.
Yes, because the two things are totally comparable.
You know, I would've totally taken a 12MP camera over a hole for phone straps.

Is there any solution for this. When I use aldiko for reading ebooks this leds are very irritating when reading in dark.

Thx stephenpilar it's working

Disable the button leds automatically at every boot (not my script)
*root needed, works on 2.1 and 2.3*
Edit: Thanks to Adolf1994 for the original script!
New: xRecovery solution, but doesn't work for all roms.
xRecovery Button Leds Switch
Universal solution, only requires root:
- copy noled.sh somewhere on your SD card.
(important: use Unix end of line, if you don't know how to do that download the file attached to this post)
- install Script Manager from Market, open it, browse to noled.sh, open it, check "run at boot" and "run as root", and don't forget to click Save.
(use Unix end of line)
Code:
#! /system/bin/busybox sh
DIR=$(cd /sys && find | grep brightness | cut -c 3- | cut -d : -f 1 | head -n 1)
LED=/sys/$DIR
LEDB=$LED:sled/brightness
echo 0 > $LEDB
chmod 00444 $LEDB
exit
/etc/init.d solution, but doesn't work for all roms.
- explorer with root capabilities needed, for GB users you can download Estrongs File Explorer from the market, open it, open the settings and check the two root options
- copy noled.sh to /etc/init.d and optionally rename it to 50-nobuttonleds or **-nobuttonleds where ** is a number between 00 and 99 that is not used by another script in the folder
- reboot, if you still see the button leds:
- add this line to /etc/install-recovery.sh (check first if busybox is in xbin or bin):
/system/xbin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d
or
/system/bin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d
and try again

Hi, thx for script but when I run script I get this error
Command:
-c '/mnt/sdcard/noled.sh '
-------------
Out:
exec sh -c '/mnt/sdcard/noled.sh '
# exec sh -c '/mnt/sdcard/noled.sh '

You need to run it as root:

Hard buttons backlight not turning off !!

THE ISSUE IS ----------->>>
i am really stuck wid this problem , i am using the BOYPPC-GINGERBREAD-GOEX-V2 version currently
and i cant turn off the hardware button backlight completely off , neither by cyanogen mod settings nor by using any app .
earlier i used to use this app called ( ** adjbrightness**) to turn off the button backlight but it is not working in this rom.
IS THERE ANY SOLUTION OR ANY OTHER TWEAK /TRICK TO COMPLETELY TURN OF THE BUTTON BACKLIGHT IN THIS BUILD ???
GUYS PLEEEEEEEZ HELP ME WITH THIS.....I REALLY WANNA TURN THEM OFF !!!

thanks but even this did nt help ....
i have the exact same cyanogen mod settings but even after putting the values '0' '0' '0' '0' and then saving nd applying it,
the button backlight did nt turn off.
any other method ???
or any clue what could be the problem ??

Why is it so important for you to turn them off?
Please keep in mind, that our beloved hd2 originally doesn't run android and so the hardware also doesn't play nice with all software.
I think the button backlight is controlled by the liblights.so. As far as I know there are three different versions of them, one with working notifications and limited auto backlight, one with fully working auto backlight and NOT working notifications and one with working auto backlight and limited working notifications.
...already used them all, but can't remember, that controlling the button backlight was working in one version.
So guess it's a kernel related issue.
So you could try builds with different kernels: tytungs kernel is the most spreaded one, and I mean here it's not working, so try gpcs, rafingas, mdjs, bauner(?)...maybe youve got luck.
Maybe you can also contact tytung and ask if its a kernel issue.

[Discussion] Light Sensor Firmware Issue

When the ambient light changes drastically (for instance when i leave my house (dark room) and go outside (sunny and clear weather)) the light sensor brighten my display only slightly...but not enough. if i change the brightness manual to full power and then reactivate the automatic setting my display is looking good. Now when i go back to my house in a dark room the light sensor dims my display only slightly again...but once again it's not enough...my display is too bright.
What i've found out: There is a dependency between the automatic and the manual setting. The light sensor automatism only changes the brightness "one step" below or above the actual (greyed out) manual setting.
Other users in a german android forum confirm this behaviour. http://www.android-hilfe.de/sony-al...ttelklasse-mit-top-werten-59.html#post5877073
Seems like a bug.

The auto brightness only varies 10% above/below the set brightness level. It's very annoying! Hope for a fix soon.

Yes i also face this problem.
Light sensor is not of any use other than calling time as of now.
One more thing, Xperia SP is also having security flaw, i have successfully unlocked the phone with out PIN/Pattern when i did not know the pattern

Same problem here... I just noticed today... Do you know any workaround or we are stuck with manual brightness adjustment...???

Hey!
I have the same problem. But yesterday I have read in a German forum, that that is no bug. The auto brightness only varies 10% +/- the set brightness... So I think there won't be any fix in the future... I have downloaded a "small app" so that I can vary it faster...

Why not use velis or Lux?
I used them on my Nexus. Pretty useful app! (I used the pro version of Lux)

This problem i have found in all stock/stockbased Rom for XL XS XSP. it is a big Bug on all Sony devices?
YAB or Velis app is only a solution when system brightness settings activ in background. otherwise this apps without function or only work once on unlock.
The only Way to the perfect autobrightness is a Pac-man Rom, but is only available for XS. :crying:

Hello,
i have found a possible cause.
in file hw_config.sh (system/etc) i miss lines for Autobrightness at the end, as they are available in other xperia devices.
here the lines from XS:

echo 1,0,0,0 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/params #[gain],[filter_up],[filter_down],[offset]
echo 1 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/enable #Sensor on/off. 1 = on, reg 90h
in XSP it looks:
Code:
# ALS configuration
dev=/sys/bus/i2c/devices/10-0040/
echo 0x91=0x40 > $dev/debug
Can i ad lines from XS?

Hello,
i have found a possible cause.
in file hw_config.sh (system/etc) i miss lines for Autobrightness at the end, as they are available in other xperia devices.
here the lines from XS:
Code:
# LMU AS3676 Configuration
dev=/sys/class/leds
echo 1,255,255,255,255,255,255 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/curve # ALS curve for group1
echo 1,0,0,0 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/params #[gain],[filter_up],[filter_down],[offset]
echo 1 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/enable #Sensor on/off. 1 = on, reg 90h
in XSP it looks:
Code:
# ALS configuration
dev=/sys/bus/i2c/devices/10-0040/
echo 0x91=0x40 > $dev/debug
Can i ad lines from XS?

You´re right on that, that´s where the problem lies. I had a ray before my sp and had the same problem, although in the ray´s hwconfig the second line of echo was just all zero´s. Just changing them to 7.0.0.7 or something like that did one hell of a work. I have no idea whether you can just add those lines.
Edit:
Found the files and directories. In one of them (/sys/bus/i2c/devices/..0040/leds) I found two maps, lcd backlight 1 and 2. I think that's where one should start when you want to solve this. Goodluck

the sensor used by sony is far behind any other brand
