Is there a Brightness control application for Samsung i780

The Brightness control of the Samsung i780 isn't very accessible.
Whenever at the open, adjsting the brightness when you hardly see anything on the screen is close to impossible.
The brightness control of HTC home doesn't work for me on this device,
And I couldn't find any application that would enable changing the LCD brightness.
Not at all or at least as easily as the button in the Samsung Today plugin that came with th UK ROM MSHC3.
I can't use this plugin now (different ROM, un configurable plugin...)
So I'm asking,
Do any of you experts have a suggestion/solution?
Thanks.

Any clues anyone?

yes there is, go into
settings
system
backlight
scroll the tabs across at the bottom
there should be an option for brightness
even the top one is not hugely bright though, better than nothing.
Hope this helps.

I wonder if some talented chap could make a proggie that would adjust the backlight automatically using the small VGA camera as a light sensor, that would be pretty neat IMO

That's the exact point I was trying to make here:

Why should there be an application like that for Palm OS and not for WM?
But for now I would settle for a today plugin or small application.
that could be assigned to a hotkey that would round robin through the different brightness levels.
Thus making the access to the brightness control easier to access...

Was an app ever developed to solve this problem?

there's this guy over at ppcsg, moneytoo that's made such an app.
i especially like the brightness toggling, very convenient.

Here's the whole post with "screenshot"
I made this simple tool for easier switching backlight on i780. Install SamsungBacklight.cab (if you have non-English non-English environment you may have to try SamsungBacklight.exe and create shortcuts manually)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The installer will create 4 links in Programs\Backlight (MAX/MID/MIN/TOGLE) so you can easy assign button to any of this action.
Run "SamsungBacklight.exe 1" to "SamsungBacklight.exe 5" to set prefered backlight level. "SamsungBacklight.exe T" will switch backlight between level 1 and 5.

its works
THX!

Thank you
Thank you "thescum" for pointing me to the right direction,
Thank you "moneytoo" for creating this useful utility
I now can get rid of the files I created for setting the brightness level through registry import
Now, how about using the vga camera as an ambient light sensor...
thanks again

Thx moneytoo
I was looking for exactly the same thingie
Btw. Do you think you can modify your programme to switch through all levels of backlight increasingly with each run? (each run would lit up the screen +1 level) This could be a great app to bind to a hardware key

Brightness control from AE Button Plus also works fine. You can map the pop-up controller on the long or double press of the button you choose. Settings of brightness control for i780 is as follows:
- min level = 4
- max level = 9
- step = 1

Thanks moneytoo

This is the one i've been looking for so long!!!

though I wanna cycle through three levels only. 1, 3 and 5. Can I do that?

spb mobile shell 3 has a backlight widget too.

[APP][DEV] Notification Shortcuts v0.1 (update)

Hi all,
I just wanted to show my first android app I developed. It is a bit similar as notification toggle, but I just developed it to learn java/android.
You can set 3 different settings as notification toggles (wifi,screen rotation, bluetooth), seems unnecessary for cm9/7
You can set any app as a shortcut
always-on-top accessibility service
notification panel folds when shortcut is selected
Please tell me want you think of it, i only tested it on cm10.

True, doesn't mean I know the code to program it (yet)
Then I would also expect you to have flashed a CyanogenMod variant with these switches already available

I have got a freeze with but perhaps, it's because I have been too fast in pushing the toggles... By cons, it will be good that the launching of applications closes the panel of notification in same time.

Nice app bro. It works well on Team NYX RC5. Tested with Wifi and Bluetooth. If you implement GPS toggle, Flashlight and Sound toggle, it will be a very good app.
Keep up the good work.

yes true forgot to activate that function of closing the panel. Will put that in the update and will try to look into that freeze

Very useful but could use a "Start with Boot" option.

Nice work mate! I've been looking for this since I had JKay on a Samsung ROM, but I would never go back to Samsung from CM9
Is there any way to hide the blank notification icon in the status bar? I assume this is inherent to the way the shortcuts are loaded as a notification.
Also, how's it going with the auto-close drawer update?

Great
This is great. Thank you.:good:

that's finished already, but need to make some more changes, for making it more memory efficient.
But i thought nobody was really interested
it is not possible to hide it, i might change it to a logo. It is also not possible to make 2g/3g or GPS switch due to android policy (even with root). Only a shortcut is possible to the settings page

For info:
This application works on Jelly Bean for bluetooth (on/off), it works too for Wi-Fi (on/off)!
Think you can add other as standby Toggle for example?

up

updated version:
Notification panel folds after app selection
Accessibility service added for always-on-top
A slightly better layout of the notification shortcuts
the accessibility service should be enabled if you want the notification shortcuts to be always-on-top of the notification panel.
see first post for apk

Great app

[APP] Standby Touch - simple app for a simple job

Warning! This has been developed and tested on Galaxy Nexus. It should work fine on One X, but have a backup, just in case something goes wrong (can't imagine what)
Today I got a little bit bored and decide to make this simple app. As the name says, it allows to put the phone in Standby (Lock) with the touch of app's icon. I know that there are many many apps that do this, but maybe in the future I could add other options to it. So far it seems to work fine, I tested it with Jellbro latest nightly and works like a charm. Maybe I am too lazy, but because my phone is on the desk most of the day, I find it not very convenient to press the Power button...

Changelog for version 1.4:
1.4
- added Tasks feature
- on some ROM versions the screen my try to turn itself on again after lock, the app will double check and try to lock it again. Please provide feedback if it still does not work.
- minor graphic tweaks
You can find it on Google Play at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alinberce.standbytouch
Feel free to give me suggestions . Also a high rating on Google Play would help. Thanks.

Nice simple little app.
A suggestion-
Could you add per day schedule?
Ie. If I wanted to turn WiFi off when I know I'm at work but not on weekend.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Thank you for trying the app. The suggestion is great and I've noted it down. I will try to implement it in the next version.

I am using the app and haven't got any "wake screen" events. So hopefully works as expected.
I was thinking of a feature:
1. set an interval in seconds, let's say 60
2. set in the app, Enable touch screen to wake
3. in you press the screen on this interval, the phone awakes.
This of course with the cost of battery life....
What do you say, is is useful or not ?

I've just released a new version in the market. Unfortunatelly it does not have new features as I've been really busy in the last few months but includes two important things:
- there is no more white screen + app's icon when pressing the app's icon, just before the screen shuts down
- I added compatibility with JB 4.2

I noticed 2 bugs on my htc x one. Later I will provide pictures in right thread
Sent from HOX with ARHD 14.2

Hi guys,
I have released a new version of the app. I have removed the Tasks feature as it wasn't too helpful and added Sleep Mode. So basically, the Sleep Mode shows for a brief moment (the time you set in Settings) 2 icons which allows you to switch off Sound/Wi-Fi/Data.
Here is how it works:
1. Go to Settings -> Zzzzzz Mode -> Set the interval in hours when you want the icons to be displayed. Set the milliseconds to be displayed and check the toggles you want to disable
2. Next time you press the StandBy icon you will see 2 icons on the screen. The moon icon puts the phone to standby and toggles off the checked things from settings. The sun icon, simply turns them on again and closes, without going into standby.
Any feedback is gladly received.

Timely - Elegant but simple clock, great clock widget

Nope that's all you needed to do! Thank you.
I've unlocked the premium version and I no longer need the shares. If someone else would like to share their link by going into timely, hitting menu then settings, there should be a Share Application which can give you the link to post if you'd like to put it in the thread. :good:
Thanks again to all that helped, I'll continue to maintain the thread and by request I can even swap out my code for one of yours if you would like.

This is a really great clock. I've tried so many and always end back up with the stock clock app. This one finally made me change for good.

More Widget choices!!
If you bore of the timely widget but love the alarm. I like it but it doesnt have weather. One more clock widget (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sunnykwong.freeomc&hl=en) allows many more options for the widget but lets you still open the timly alarm when you touch the clock. It makes it feel just as baked in as the touchiz accuweather widget/clock.
In the settings of "One more clock widget" this tap and display table allows you to open timely as if its part of the widget.

[ROOT] Switcher 4K for Z5/XZ/XZ2 Premium v1.3

Switcher 4K​
Hi,
I built a simple app that allow you to quickly switch the virtual resolution between default 2K and 4K without a computer.
Unfortunately, since the command is not available on the userland, the process needs superuser permission to change virtual resolution.
If you somehow manage to break your resolution, especially leading to crash loop of Xperia Home, check on other topics how to restore the original values.
Since the custom feature can be "dangerous" for the reasons above, I added a check when save and switch custom values to avoid any resolution under [email protected] (Z5 Compact default values).
Min Android version: 6.0
Target: 9.0

Code:
v1.3: Updated to SDK 28 (Android 9.0).
Updated description string with "XZ2".
Removed useless email button.
[COLOR="Red"][B]Uninstall previous versions before installing this one ![/B][/COLOR]
v1.2: Implemented customization button and form. Values are saved in app storage.
v1.1: Implemented App Shortcuts (Android 7.1+).
Switching to 2K now reset to OEM values, not set 1080p ones.
v1.0: Release.
Planned in future releases (low probability..):
Code:
* Tab with buttons in the notification list.
* Widget with buttons, maybe.
* Any idea?

Yes, it is one of the goal of this app, being able to switch back to 1080p without a PC to use apps that doesn't support 4K.
The phone app is the most common known issue.

Is the battery consumption less?

Not much for usual usage, I suppose much if you play 3D games.
There is another topic I don't remember where speaking about this.

When set to 4k, the phone app no longer goes. g8141

Get the screen flashing light and dark like screens messed when it's not though works perfectly. Then suddenly get flickering

Wow looks like weird...
What definition are you using ?
As described looks like a screen issue of your phone.. It happens in 1080p too ?

I saw that the best dpi on the 4k resolution without crashing any app wasn't 807 but 706, 720 or 721, I don't remember exactly sorry

This app do the same job like adb command (wm resolution 2160x3840)?

As far as I know, it does the exact same thing as the ADB command (except through an app).

It said that the newest file couldn't be found (error: 410)?
I tried the older version (1.1) And the program doesn't seem to do anything, is there a way to check?
