Hi guys, anyone know the registry settings to make the trackball light stay on longer? I have a xda orbit and I love the blue light on the trackball.

I also wants this to light!! Everyone turns around when they see the phone when the blue light is shining.
Hey i'm looking for a tweak to disable it...
A tweak exists but doesn't work on Artemis
Maybe someone should modify the DLL file to do that...
Anyone can help us, otherwise i'll sell it : this blue led is horrible !!!!!!!!!!!!
Count me in!
It must be the way to disable this blue LED!!!
I can`t read in the dark, cause every time I roll it to go to next page, this damn things flashes :-(

Excuse me? Why somebody may want to attract people attention with a blue light? Nothing else to demonstrate?
I want it off for good. Damn thing sits there lighting up all the time at night when i'm using the ball.
You can easily tweak the registy to disable the dll (lightsdr.dll) controling the backlight.
I'v tried and "it works" : keypad stays off but screen backlight is maximum and when you switch off the device you can't switch it on, you have to soft reset...
So it is not the solution but i think it's possible to modify that. But maybe we have to edit the dll file, i don't know ?
Anyone has a better solution ?
HI,
has anyone made any progress with this? The light is bloody annoying when reading ebooks in the dark, its like being in a disco!
I use to read eBooks in darkness by Haali Reader or Alreader. Both programs have tap-zones on screen for preset actions such as page down etc. Their feature is: neither the ball, nor other buttons are shining when you choose the next page by pressing tap zone responsible for page down (or page up etc.)! It's the only way to get rid of anoying shine of the crazy diam...ball!
Blue led
next someone will be asking if it can flash in changing colours.
Flashing LED's do my head in even when trying to sleep the constant flash lights up the room.
a hack would be great.
I think the Flashing Status indicator is the best thing that comes with the PDA... I dont need to switch it on or walk to the table across the room... I just simply look on the Status LED, Green, fine ill just remain seated, Orange, oh wait theres something waiting for me ^^ And at night.... How about turning your PDA to the other side? And this is not meant offensive or funny in any way!!
sorry and not taken as offensive.
I have never used the leds for anything other than annoying colours, but we live and learn.
lets just be clear you are talking about the top leds next to the speaker correct.
god i have had xda, xdaiis, xda exec and now orbit and never knew or even noticed the different colours, just that they bugged me.
I suppose read the manual is the morel of the story.
I still maintain if we could turn them on and off it would be best of both worlds so that at night they dont annoy.
erm, you guys tried keeping your thumb over the annoying blue light?

I tried changing the value's in HKLC\drivers\builtin\jogball\ but also has no effect.
Added DWORD's DisableBacklight, DisableLight, Backlight, no effect either.
Who can Help?

Hello all
First off.... sorry if this has been touched on else where. I've searched the site and can't find a pot like this however will apologise if I have missed one.
Ok, so.... has anyone else found that when they press the start button to access the start menu that the text underneath the program icons is either in a black or white font? With mine there doesn't seem to be any pattern to this either (e.g every other program name is white). I can have 5 white then 7 black and then 2 white and so on. I'm guessing you get the picture. This is making program selection super difficult, as if i choose a light back ground I can't see the white text, and visa versa.
This is also changes too. If I rest my device then they change the order of blacks and whites. If i change the theme it has the same affect as well.
So... does anyone one else have the same problem? Anyone get a fix? or magic cab. to remove this problem?
Thanks in advance

Are you on Vodafone?
If so, this is what you need to do, it's a slightly bad ROM flash from 6.1 to 6.5. It did this to me.
Remove any files you have on the phone's memory, then carry out a hard reset. then re-flash the 6.5 ROM. you should then have a light grey back ground and all black text.
the default of ~3 second intervals between flashing is a bit slow for my liking. Is there any way to make it flash faster when there are notifications to be checked?
Man I can't stand the gap between flashes. The "did I just see it flash?" thing I deal with every day. And why can't it flash green while charging? Or flash a different color for text, email and missed calls/voicemail? It does green, orange and red, surely this can be assigned by some sort of voodoo or dark arts?
Eric
You can use a program called nueled to adjust the LEDs to some extent, I don't believe you'll be able to adjust the flashing speed, but you can redirect the behaviors to make it a steady light and with some control over the color of the light.
I personally use it to kill off the LED while charging / finished charging, so that I can plug it in and do a crossword or watch a recorded show before going to bed without the light blinding me.
Cool thanks, I'll check it out! Wow your first post. I'm honored.

Just following up on this, I installed the version on the first page of this thread (v1.5)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371391
and it didn't do anything. The scanning function gave a popup error I couldn't make disappear without pressing the Call End button. There was registry removal info in one of the posts in that thread but I also received an error like the poster had. The Remove Programs uninstaller didn't work either.
My Tilt2 is on its way out of my life at some point hopefully soon, but it would still be nice to control the LEDs somehow.
Eric
A developer here on xda named zevele created blinker which will control the led on the tp2. I downloaded it here on xda. I dont know exactly where it is but search the tp2 forums and youll find it.
For those who may search and find this thread, the link to the blinker app is in the HD2 themes and apps sub forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830299
Hey peeps!
Question First: Has anyone else found a LED flashlight app that works well on the DHD or Inspire that can dim the LED right down?
I want to use the LED on the back as a reading light so I don't have to drain the battery by using the screen but its simply too bright.
I am running an Inspire 4G on Revo HD 6.3.1. The stock flashlight app works well with the 3 levels avaliable and I don't want to kill the LEDs by over running them.
There are tonnes of flashlight apps out there, some using the led and some not. The ones I have researched either don't have a brightness adjustment on the LED or attempt to burn a hole in a sheet of paper.
The only app that I have found which relates to this is call "Reading Light" and is just an adjustable brightness grey screen.
If this has been discussed before please let me know and i'll request this thread be closed. I couldn't find anything regarding this aspect of the topic.
Regards,
Akida
I don't think this has come up before. Its a good request. I'd be interested in something like this.
Bump
Bump for confirmation of possibility please!
Btw .. how often am I allowed to bump? I couldn't find it in the forum rules.
CM 7.1 has a application called Torch which has two light levels. The dim one seems like it would be perfect for reading (it only uses 1 of the 2 flash LEDs). The bright level is insanely bright (much brighter than the Sense flashlight app).
There is an app on the market called Torch, but I don't think its the same one that comes with CM 7.1.

Hey that sounds like its worth a shot. Has anyone extracted the app from CM 7.1? I'm going to ask them for permission anyway.
Thanks for the info.

I have got exactly the same, but I turn my back lights off, makes it look much cleaner and neater in anycase, it's my only real answer to the problem, if you are wanting the app I use to do it let me know.

This is the app I use. you can also create widgets for enabling or disabling.

Nice, whats best settings i need put? disable the soft keys backlight?
is it normal that my LED colours seem to have multiple colours in them.. like example if i set the notification ligth to be orange ( with paranoid rom, but did the same on stock with lightflow) the light will be half light red and the other half will be yellow.. or green and blue if i want light blue.. it seems i have to mess around with the colours value (RGB) to get just one solid colour and not a mix of multiple colours..
this is hard to explain.. so if you know what i mean please let me know.. if not i can take a picture and upload them here!
Thanks
It's my understanding that although it IS an RGB LED, that doesn't necessarily mean that it will be able to recreate every color you could dream of. There's actually another thread here in the S3 section (Forget which part) where people are compiling a list of different Hex values of colors that turn out really well.

thing is is that im using ParanoidAndroid rom, and i dont see the option to add a hex value.. i can only pick a hue and slide the colour around ..
Well, in my experience with that, it seems to have a better color output for the LED if you don't have the saturation all the way up..... Say if you were shooting for a pure red color, have the slider down just a bit from as bright as it can get. Seemed like whenever i tried using that to set LED colors, if i had it all the way up, it had something else mixed in.... generally i think a bit more of a white color to it.
