Your welcome any I thanked you on that thread.

There's also a toggle in an app called quick settings. Configure to acces from pulldown and "quick" control "settings". Autorotate is one I have enabled, along with wifi, screen timeout, and auto sync. The rest we already have in the pulldown: wifi, bluetooth, gps,4g ect.

How did you do this? You can change the color of the buttons? I'm on the "Light sersor levels screen" in CM6.1.2 but different values don't do much. 0 under "buttons" turns them off like xjackofall said, but a different color would be nice.

Sounds like a hardware thing.
I wonder if he did the led's at the top too?
That'd be cool....
I've ruined two evo's trying to get it to wirelessly charge

Thank you!
That application in the market just kept asking for permission via superuser. If I act fast i can sneak into the program and disable the lower leds but it's always asking permissions.
Any fix?

I want to use a sense rom but I don't know how to disable the lights on them but on cm7 I just go in the settings and turn them off. Aosp is the best since I have light leakage under the buttons

no, that's working fine here.
For me, the vibrations are dead.
I set the "Vibrate" option to always and activated the haptic feedback, but nevertheless, it's not working anymore...

If you have flashed DoomKernel then it won't Vibrate it a reported issue with that kernel.
How about small contact pictures when sync with google? It was the worst thing in previous fw, i hate it! When i set picture to contact, after sync with google that pix became small Maybe this terrible bug fixed in new fw?
To see big pix when contact calling me is very important for me...

No, it can't be because there is a setting for Mobile Bravia engine in that screenshot.
I, too, want to know how to get Automatic Brightness.

The good news is you can deactivate Facebook inside Xperia after this update (in Settings - Sony Ericsson).
another firmware comes out soon, because it is full of bugs!

[Q] ICS CWM9 Beta0 Ics Epic 4g WHy won't screen auto rotate turn off?

Just some questions, My phone is somehow always set on Auto rotate even when the selection for it is off. I was wondering If any, most likely, if anyone has had this small but annoying issue before? One more thing about the phones flash is that just a bug with this build? or can it be fixed via user?
Thanks for the listen
There is a great Q&A thread for CM9 here that has lots of helpful people in it. Plus you should make your title an actual question.
With that said did you turn off auto-rotate in all 3 places?

To add to this, some launchers override the system settings, so if you're using a custom launcher, try going into it's preferences and enable auto rotate.

Go to Settings, Rom Control, Toggles, and Enabled Toggles. Enable the ones you want. Go back 1 screen and now go to Toggle Order, and adjust to your liking.
