Hello guys.
Does anyone know if it is possible to customize the values on the light sensor brightness leveler in the Sense UI rom, like it has been done on the open desire rom? something like this http://twitpic.com/2k4qjz
Like a lot of people, I've also found annoying the fact of when in a room with lots of light, the brightness is with excessive values...
tks

Would love to have that
+ it would be really cool
+1 looking forward to
Quick question, wheres the light sensor on the Desire located?
front top left corner near the speaker
+4 would like to know if this is possible too
So,anybody knows if this is possible?come guys,it's the thing missing for maximum battery life...in automatic,it literally sucks the batt and f#cks up our eyes in the dark...

+1 for this! Maybe some dev make it happen
it is really annoying, it doesn't work as it should and it has been done for other AOSP roms.
+1 for this thread , i was looking for the same...!!

I just got my Defy today and started reading up on some stuff. I got a couple questions that hopefully someone will be kind enough to answer.
Firstly, I wonder if my back cover is loose, cause it seems that I can still push down the bottom part a little so I wonder if anyone else has this problem? Its not really noticeable but it really bugs me though I'm thinking to get a case anyway.
Okay, well I rooted the Defy using z4root and it worked perfect
I have a question about the task manager though, it shows a a lot of apps running but its says CPU 0% , RAM xx.xMB. Should I manually end task all of these apps or just leave it?
Last question for now is about my custom wallpaper not being centered when im on the lockscreen. I know it's nothing but little things like this bothers me xD. Is there a way to fix this? I disabled wallpaper scrolling so on my homescreen the wallpaper is centered but not when im on the lockscreen.
I'm still reading around about rooting, editing themes, and such..it would be cool to change some colors around. So far this phone is pretty awesome for my first smartphone/android.
Great forum btw! Thanks all
i can push my back cover a bit, but I think it's nit a problem
I was using app killer on my stock rom, but now i'm not.still cannot decide. Honestly, it'a good thing, and i'd instal it. I cannot comment on a wallpaper, I'm using the scrollable one. You can try a program widgetlocker, it allow more locksvreen tuning. BTW, you can cut your wallp, to the phone's resolution.that'd solve your problem
A taskkiller for defy is not necessary cauz u have no energy consumption if apps are loaded into ram - and there is quite a lot of ram available, while manually starting an app consumes energy every time. Only for data using apps like skype i use a task killer.

Hello there!
I've been using my Desire Z for a long time but found the trackpad pretty useless. This is because i found the sensitivity for it pretty low so if i want to scroll down on a page it's taking forever. I also noticed if i scroll using a piece of cloth (like my shirt) the scrolling is alot faster and usable. But it's not that nice using cloth all the time.
My girlfriend has just got an new phone the Samsung Galaxy Y Pro. It also has an optical trackpad which is alot faster and usable. Also in the settings there is an option to make the trackpad faster more sensitive.
Is there any kind of application or modification to make the trackpad faster sensitiver or so?
Please let me now .
Regards
Edit: whoops i forgot to add [Q] in the topics name and i have no idea how to edit this.
Finally a topic regarding this issue!
I noticed that using certain (mostly newer, modded - CM7 for example) ROMs, the trackpad responsivess is great.
However, recently I flashed to modded stock ROM (Virtuous G-Lite) and I also find the trackpad quite useless :/
Been searching the internet for reason or solution, but found nothing
Hope to find the answer!
So if the sensitivity differs in different ROMS it's editable in a file or so. So i think it would be possible for an smart developer to create an app that edit's the values in the file to change the sensitivity with a nice slider as GUI.
Hopes it will be there someday .
I could not agree more about the trackpad, it makes me want the responsiveness of my old G1 with the trackball (but that design is prone to fail because moisture/foreign objects can easily get underneath the ball).
Would love to see some sort of customization for trackpad sensitivity become mainstream for custom roms.
I've experienced the same problem with the following ROMs:
CM 7.1.0 Stable
Virtuous v2.0.0
Virtuous G-Lite 1.6
So it's happening on AOSP and Sense based ROMs.
Just flashed G2-Slim 1.2 (see my sig for link), which seems to be the same AOSP ROM as Virtuous G-lite, but the sensitivity responsiviness seems much better.
I have no idea how the hell can it be different..
Maybe different kernels affect this?
I'm also using the G-slim ROM for a couple of days now and besides I really like the ROM the trackpad is indeed faster. But still not as fast as I would like. Let's hope some dev. Check this thread out an can help us what makes the difference in sensitivity for the trackpad!
I remember before back on android 2.2 when using the trackpad through texts depending on how fast I swiped would determine how many letters or words it would move. But now especially with roms like cm7 no matter what it'll only move over 1 letter =/ a setting to adjust sensitivity in future roms would be amazing

That's exactly my problem! I don't want to move one letter if i like to i want to move 5 letters or scroll (fast) to the beginning with the trackpad. Just like it is on blackberry's or on the Samsung Galaxy Y PRO. My girlfriend get's the galaxy y pro on her birthday (27th of December) it runs gingerbread stock and has got an sensitivity option in the settings. Maybe i can break that functionality and put it in our phones. I don't know if it will work tho because the trackpad maybe differs. Still hoping a developer will look at this thread and help us out!
Ive read that the One X tends to run a lot brighter for the equivalent setting on phones like the SII.
Is it possible to tune the brightness level that the Auto setting provides, and the external light at which it "ups" the brightness - as in my opinion, HTC's setting, although wonderful, is overkill in many situations, and screen on time needs all the help it can get.
Cheers.

if things aren't changed in ICS, you can decompile the /system/framework/framework-res.apk and then edit some xml's in it. Compile it again with the modified xml's and at last adb push it into the system partition. and this procedure requires a unlocked system partition.
if you don't want to unlock / don't know how to edit the stuff, the most feasible way is to put a brightness widget on homescreen and change it manually.

leedroid, insertcoin and a few of the other roms here have the option to lower the brightness in their tweak settings. If you search for it, j4n87 also created a flashable xml mod that lowers the brightness as well.
Cheers, I saw one on XDA for what I thought was the One S but it must be what youve just mentioned above I think.

Yes, we're on the same page although I don't understand italian . The mods I'm referring to all alter the baseline brightness as opposed to just the regular screen brightness based on ambient levels.
I'm running CM9 which allows you to edit baselines for screen and softkeys, but the roms and mods I referred you to do the same thing with less granular control. j4n87's mod is pretty dim but worked well for me until I switched to CM9. You could always crack open his zip and change the levels yourself before flashing.
Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595559
Yeh haha I don't speak Italian either just stumbled upon that on featured videos! Erm I knew CM9 had it working, can you point me in the direction of the best build? I need HDMI out but can live without Hotspot (which I believe is the only problem causer?). What's CM9 battery overall before these screen modifications?
I've tried about 6-7 of the roms here, they're all pretty much the same with varying levels of tweaks. I'm pretty sure that HDMI is working on the majority of them.
I love the hardware on this phone but not fond of Sense at all. Looking forward to more AOSP/AOKP based roms. The only available CM9 rom still has some bugs that need to be addressed (Phone, GPS, Camera - all working but with flaws) Battery life is excellent though I'm getting 4.5-5+ hours of screen on with heavy to moderate use using Faux123's kernel.
Is that the CM9 over at Modaco? Or is there an active one here?
That's great screen on time by the way.
Ideally I want one based on CM9 but with the sense Camera, that's all I can see thats worth keeping. Sense just isn't worth the performance hit IMO. It looks pretty cheap, especially with all the colourful busy icons...
Yes I'm using the build from modaco, jdroid is apparently working on a AOSP version and is beta testing. He said that they may release something this week.
How are you finding Screen on times for video playback/streaming by any chance?
Also, have you tried to see if the force dual core app helps?
Ill know myself tomorrow, the phone arrives...!
I’m wondering if there is a tool or a mod that I can use to change how the notification LED lights up, specifically to increase the blink rate or increase the switched on time of a blink cycle. The tiny LED buried inside the ear piece grill and the way it blinks makes noticing missed alerts almost impossible unless you look at it very carefully. Ideally I would like for it to blink rapidly or the have the LED lit up for a little longer in each blink cycle, I know this can affect the battery, so it would be nice if the behavior can be customized further i.e Have intensive blinking for the first 30 minutes and then fall back to the regular conservative mode to save battery.
A better alternative would be to use the capacitive buttons (back, home, menu) without turning the screen on. My previous Galaxy S1 had a mod which could do that, wondering if there is something similar for One X. If those buttons can be selectively turned on then I guess that would be more prominent than that tiny green LED.
Flash CM10.1 or ICJ to get button light notification.

Latest XM kernels also include BLN (backlight notification). It's fully cofigurable, including the light level. :good:
Plus, it has all the governor tweaks you can think of.
I Don't know if there's a standalone tool for this
but I use CM 10.1 ROM that comes with this tool included
anyway the control is limited to 2 colors (red and green) and 2 speeds , or you can use it to disable the whole light
and still be able to use hardware keys backlight as a notification light
Thanks for the replies. :good:
Currently I’m on Viper X custom ROM. Last year I installed CM10 but wasn't impressed with battery life or camera performance.

Interesting, perhaps I'll try that, seems XM supports Sense ROMs and I found few posts where people have managed to get it working with Viper X. I'm guessing if I managed to get XM kernel working, all I have to do is use BLN app from market ?

i think there is a tool for this: light flow app.
i haven't tried it on my hox yet, but i had limited success with it on my desire. htcs are notorious for terrible led notification control and configuration, i think. on my huawei ideos i had it configured exactly how i wanted it, but this is probably impossible on an htc ... actually i found this thread when searching for a solution how to manage my own led problems. but according to the discussion here there is no solution .

viper x works well with xm kernel without a repack, and bln works without any app, just enable it as instructed by xm
On a new version of my cleanslate kernel I'm working on Fading blink feature.
I'm curious how many of you would prefer to use the Fading blink instead of the original very short burst blink of the 10
Here's how it looks with my current work in progress kernel
Please use the poll and comment if you would like to. Thanks
Mmmmmm, interesting idea. I think the notification blink is fine as it is. Would be very interesting if you could implement the fade into the low battery blink. So it fades orange instead of blinking it. If that makes sense haha

I'm a bit in between, the default blinking is well noticeable, yet aesthetically I find it unpleasant to the eye. It's purposeful but unsophisticated compared to the possibilities of the LED driver.
That's why I started to make it more "21st century" looking, pulsating, noticeable but nicer at the same time.
But as this is purely subjective I opened this poll to know what people think so I can confidently set it as default in the custom kernel.
About fading between colors I'm afraid that would need much more engineering as both ROM and kernel would need to change. Htc implemented notification about states in a one overwrites all manner in the framework of the sense ROM, which blocks your idea, tho sounds like a nice idea, it would need more with than just kernel level

Any way to achieve this without the kernel? I have root, elementalx, xposed, etc so I am wondering if there is an alternative method..

which part? The flashing of the notification green led?
I don't think so, based on the kernel level structure I'd say, this driver was not meant to do such advanced things in stock kernel.
that's where I come into picture

Summarizing the poll, the majority is looking for the Fading LED functionality.... but here's something really cool additionally, maybe of same caliber of more, you decide
I'm still polishing and testing the two features that was born out of my RGB led experimentation
but here's a video about the
two new features that again is
going to change a good part of how HTC 10's will work among the custom mod user community members.
- Fading LED notifications blinking
- Color changing charging LED based on battery charge level
