Why can't Sense Roms control softkey backlights...

while cm7 and other AOSP roms can, either directly, in display brightness settings, or through apps (screen filter, Moon + reader etc)? The same apps don't work with the softkeys in sense.
Am currently on cm7, mainly because of the darn softkeys blinding me while reading or watching vids.
And is there a camera app for cm7 that does auto focus, like the HTC camera app? And how about internet pass-through?
It seems I need a combination of both types of Roms!

Have you tried the Miui Camera? I was using it with CM7. It's pretty nice, has Autofocus as well as Antishake.
It can be installed as a system app and replace the stock camera (rename the apk to camera, and place in the system app folder and change the permissions. or just install as a stand alone app. I chose to replace my stock camera.
If you have any issues, let me know.

Thanks!
I'll give this app a try!

Mine must be broken because they are hardly blinding.

Must be!
I'm talking about reading with very low screen brightness at night.

I just installed it! First time I had a chance to use the barcode scanner.
Nice app! Is there a way to zoom in using video? And can I use the front camera with it? I haven't found an option for that, so far.

I don't know of any way to zoom on the video.
I have the front facing camera option on the left hand side of the screen near the top. It has a camera with arrows around it. I'm not sure if it is on the version I linked though. I've switched back to the Miui rom and using the lastest version 1.9.9 which has the front facing camera option (works for both camera and video)... I can try and pull the apk and see what happens if I flash it to CM7 later...

Thanks! I would appreciate this very much!
PS: I'm still hoping someone can explain why there is no control over the softkey lights in sense roms.
For example, screen filter and Moon + reader can both turn them off using AOSP roms, but the same apps cannot in Sense roms.
Is this something that is easy to add and nobody else wants this function, or is there something in the sense roms making it hard to incorporate?

Tried flashing the camera from the latest Miui build (1.9.9) in CM 7... no luck, just force closes.
I'm sure there may be someone out there that knows what needs to be modded to make it work. I wish I did...
I'll enclose the apk if anyone wants to try to mess with it.

Thanks a million for trying, Don!

No problem. Good luck on the backlighting.
I enjoy being able to kill mine when reading books. It's a nice feature to have. Crazy that on the sense based roms that dimming the display doesn't effect the soft key back lighting like it does on the Aosp roms Crazy..

The Fixed2 version doesn't have FFC support. There is also a TEST1 version which has enabled the FFC for some. The link in my signature will take you to the post about Fixed2 but it also links to TEST1. I'm currently working on the version from 1.9.2 so if you want to try it out, PM and I'll give you the download link. The only reason I'm not just posting for everybody right now is so people on various devices/roms give feedback about what needs fixed and tweaked.
As far as why we can't take the app right from MIUI and have it work is because it's dependent on pieces of the MIUI framework. Basically, to make it work the apk needs to be decoded and have some of the framework added to it. Would be a lot easier if MIUI was open source.

[Q] How to troubleshoot depth sensor ?

Guys I ve just got a used HTC ONE M8 and i was not aware of the features and functions of the phone. But after going through the reviews I came across duo effects but couldn't use it In my phone . Is there any way to troubleshoot the depth sensor or even check whether it's working or not so that even I can enjoy the benefits.

Check out the below article, explains the functions and features.
What is it you're trying to do exactly and what happens?
http://www.htc.com/uk/support/htc-one-m8/howto/473767.html

Actually it is just saying that "duo effects is unavailable for this image"
For every image I take.
I know what are the procedure to take photos for duo effects so thr is no problem in that.

Duo effects are not compatible with manual camera settings. Its likely that you changed some minor & inconspicuous thing that's preventing you from applying duo effects.
Try the following:
- Clear the camera app settings.
- Make sure you don't change any setting, not even the flash.
- Make sure your fingers aren't blocking the depth sensor, and that its clean from greese (a simple wipe will do)
- Test drive the camera and the gallery for duo effects.
Cheers

Ya I did everything said above but it's not working.
I guess it's a hardware problem :crying:

Download an app called HTC Guide. It has diagnostics and other features. Might help figure it out.
Some pictures I've taken say the same thing. Not sure what causes it.

We're still not ruling out the software side. So, next step: clear data + cache for Gallery, since its responsible for using the depth sensor data to apply effects. Then, when that fails, you still have the tedious task of hard resetting. Then its either a bad rom flash or hardware fault

What about resetting the camera app settings to default?
The option is on the settings menu when in the camera app itself. Do that then just open the camera and take a normal photo without changing any settings and try editing it from the gallery app.
These options need to be set so that duo effects can be used:
Scene Auto
Flash Off
Filters None
Aspect ratio Wide 16:9
Zooming Zoom slider should be at the minimum zoom level.
Continuous shooting Not supported

you're not alone,i too am having this problem after updating the gallery app from the play store..If I take photos i get the duo effects unavailable for this image..If I roll back the gallery update to default by uninstalling the updates i can add the effects to the picture i took so the duo sensor is working..But when I install the updates back to the gallery app no new photos can work with duo effects..

I got mine fixed just now. I had done everything previously as suggested without luck.
I had to go in to setup then apps then the gallery. I cleared cache and uninstalled updates. My gut feeling is that it was a gallery update that broke it.
Good luck,
Scott

Well yeah that works but you're missing out on any of the latest features and rolled your gallery back to stock from March or April. There have been features added between then and now.. Such as the slider for uFocus

You're right. I'm new to this phone from the M7. I just switched carriers. I re-installed the gallery update and the Duo functions still work. I'm not sure what happened to my phone before then but it seems good now.
It's only a little over a week old.

It'll work on pictures already taken after the update.. But try a new picture and see what you get when trying a duo effect

[Q] [CM 12.1] Camera issues

CM 12.1, the camera works inproperly. (in any camera app)
1. In video mode its constantly focusing, wich would be a good thing, but in this case its overfocusing in every second. (youtube.com/watch?v=om1RNxxJtJk)
2. Auto brightness is going crazy, and wont let you to take a single photo. (youtube.com/watch?v=2M2VjsGDAZI)
Is anybody have this problem?

1. It's likely that you using camera app that forces continuous autofocus. And as far as I get continuous autofocus tries to refocus on each phone shake. So, try to record a video with less handshake and it shoud be fine.
2. Yeah, I experience that bug too.

I think all the lollipop roms have this problem. CM11 by armani is stable and does not have this issue.

I wouldnt have installed cm12.1 if they have mentioned this in OP. they dont list this as bug. they only mention HDR issue.

It doesn't happen all the time, I think. I'm not sure if it is caused by heat.
Another bug is that wifi will not stay awake when screen is off/sleep mode. Wifi will only come back on when the user wakes the phone.

Yeahhhh Guys !!! That bug is nasty...... dev's Get it corrected plzzzzz on the upcoming update!!:good:

I bought "a better camera" for this very reason.
Not as good as the stock cam but better when you need the flash.
Why other cams do not allow the flash option is baffling
