I'm coming from an Exynos Note 9 with a bixby button remapped to an ultra bright torch that works with screen off or on, I find it incredibly useful. I'm already losing a true notification led, I really don't want to give up my torch button.
Does anybody know if button mapper works with the silent/dnd slider on the Oneplus 8 pro, does button mapper see it as a retargetable torch button, and does the hardware support the extra bright option.
Lux light meter registers my normal torch as 580 somethings (haha I'm uncertain if it's lumens or candles) and my extra bright as 1500, so the over burn mode is considerably brighter.
If I knew someone with the phone I'd test, the only other way is ask here or take a leap of faith and buy a $1200 to $1300 AU phone.
Also does the Xray camera filter still have the Xray functionality, I can't think of many uses for it, but still... WHO doesn't want an Xray filter on their phone.
I never used a button remapper but you can set a gesture to open the torch. Hope this helps.
About "xray" camera there are fine guides that explain how to reactivate it.

Is the keyboard on the universal supposed to have a backlight? my mda pro doesnt and i cant seem to find any settings for it either? bit of a design flaw if it doesnt
When you bring your device into a dark (enough) area, the backlight will lit up automatically.
To test it, you can cover the small dot which is upper of green button (near hinge) and press any key.

Or if u click on start\settings\personal\buttons and then click on the backlight tab take the tick out of enable keyboard backlight auto sensor then the back light will come on whenever a key is pressed.
Use's a little more battery i suppose but nothing noticable and is also good for testing
it is possible ?
I'm using the KAISER, when in a building i set the brightness to low becuase it has a very bright screen and it's just a waste of battery
But when i go outside i can't see a thing, need to set it to high again
And then i just forget to set it to low again
is it possible to make it be automatic ?
(bright outside - high brightness, dark outside - low brightness)
Thanks !
p.s.
does the KAISER have a light sensor like the Universal's keyboard light sensor ?
if so, is it possible to use that ?
ah man i hear you. when my sister got her blackberry pearl, and i saw it automatically change brightness, i was jealous. aha. unfortunately, the sensor is hardware thing.
i'm not sure about the kaiser but i know the hermes has a keyboard light sensor, but it's on the keyboard, and only says whether to turn on the keyboard backlight or not. not too useful, i'd think.
Hermes and Kaiser have front cameras...
but camera is a no-no for battery
Even once a minute, or on power-on?
Well, maybe yes.
I nice Solution would be a Button you press it, and the Brightness gets configurated automaticly: perfect for battery because you do this only on need!
And there could be a standart brightness reseted after having standby on
I dont know how to use the Camera in VB.Net someone knows?
I was thinking more in the direction of the front camera and the timer ....but bettery above all .... if it is possible it would be awsome !
the buton pressing idea is (forgive me) pointless ... if i wanted to press a button i might as well press the on screen button i already have ! (spb mobile shell)
thanks for the idea though !
it's great to see so many people taking interest, hope it will stick !
SPB software is my solution. You can map your jog dialer for brightness. I use that for volume, so I use touch screen to slide my brightness.

look at the screenshot or demo. Map the brightness as botton4 is a option because brightness is a program link for you to set what ever button as you wish.
blah, i have an at&t 8525, so i forgot about the front facing camera. my current solution is to set the backlight to reasonable indoor setting, and i have VJLumos mapped to my Button5 press&hold. so whenever i go outside, I run VJLumos, and when I get back inside, I run VJLumos again (which turns it off) and it automatically goes back to the previous backlight setting.
Is there any way you can assign the quick key buttons on the G2's physical keyboard to mimic the actions of the capacitive buttons on the front? Mostly looking to hit home and back. I guess for home i could assign it to a 3rd party launcher right? what about back?
Would love to know as well.
I tried this as well. It's weird how the different versions of this phone have totally different keyboards. Verizon has no trackpad, arrow keys instead, euro Desire Z has home and back on the physical keyboard, etc.
What's odd is that the capacitive buttons behave erratically - just like the Nexus One. In other words, backlighting is flaky, they are hard to see in low light conditions, randomly come on and turn off, etc.
I'd be happy with a fix that turns them on when the backlight is on....

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The capacitive buttons and keyboard backlight seem to be activated by the ambient light sensor. Try turning the phone towards a source of light and wait a few seconds, the lights should turn off. The opposite should happen if you point your phone away from a light source. It's slightly annoying how long it takes to register the amount of light... but I don't think it's that bad.
I've watched a bunch of YouTube videos of people's review of the Nexus S.
Seems like the soft buttons don't light up at all? Even when they're pressing it? Any ideas? is it light sensitive like the screen and only goes bright when there's no light? Is there an option to turn on/off the soft button lights?
I would assume that there is an option for it. you're right though, I haven't seen it enabled in any video.
yes they do, I believe the phone is able to detect if there is a enought light availabe and if so they won't light up.
Hi!
I've acceidently broken my phone's screen. New one came, installed it but the button backlight seems to be turning on, no matter where i touch the screen. It goes off after a while. But it also feels mutch brighter then the original one.
So my question is: Am i stuck with glaring backlights forever? Or i can make them somehow less brighter? Or even make them work as they suppose to (lights only when i touch the button) ?
Thank you!
button 's bscklight turn on always when the screen is awake and/or you touch it. Yes people say the replacements are brighter.
I have S3 Advance and the buttons where always on when using the screen, not only when touching a button. perhaps you don't remember because they were not so bright
JiaYu S3, Nougat 7.1
Yes. Probably that's the truth. Still any option to make it less bright? I remember on some rom i could change it.
Thank you btw!
not any option about it (yet) but I don't think anyone will take care to make the LEDs from buttons darker.

there may not be a hardware controlling the brightness so the only way is to lower the voltage which is not configurable in kernel.
So the left hack is to add a resistance behind the leds i guess ?
How about the files in "/sys/devices/platform/leds-mt65xx/leds/button-backlight/", could I modify one of those to dim te hardware buttons?
