Run into this issue with each version of CM9 I've tried and it has been acknowledged as a bug, but was wondering if anyone had found a workaround for this.
Going through Settings>Display>Automatic Backlight and attempting to select 'Edit other levels...' causes settings to force close.
Is there a way to manually edit these values outside of the settings app?

Okay I put this together to fix the extremely low brightness on the Samsung Focus S. It simply increases the brightness level of the low setting and brings it closer to the brightness of the low setting on the Focus. It will not do anything if you have your phone on automatic!
Deploy the attached xap to your unlocked device
Open the app (name is File Deployer) and then exit
Go to diagnosis app (dial ##634# to install)
*#9908# for GPRS Manager
Select 'low brightness fix'
Hit Save then Close
Restart!
It has RunADC enabled so it will NOT mess up your signal, data, or MMS settings.
Also, make sure you go to Extra Settings and shut off 'auto display intensity'. Unfortunately the setting doesn't stick (even after the update!) so you will need to go back shut it off after every restart.
Thanks for making this available. Just got the Focus S and the screen is quite dim.
*#9908* doesn't do anything - I had to use *#9908#.
Screen is brighter in both auto and Medium modes.
Can I uninstall File Deployer once I've made the change in the Diagnosis app?
thanks again,
Michael

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes thanks the correct code is *#9908#
The screen shouldn't be any brighter in medium or auto because it doesn't change the settings for those. If you shut off Auto Display Intensity it will help those settings though. Yes you can uninstall the app after using it.
I have noticed one bug, after you soft reset and turn off Auto Display Intensity again it will go back to the original (very dim) low setting. You'll need to go back to brightness and change it to anything then back to low.
Is this device specific, or will it work with all WP7 devices?
Thinking this should be moved to the Samsung focus forum.
Peace.
Edit The name change works for me. it stays here Thanks
It should work on any Samsung device. It simply edits HKCU\ControlPanel\Brightness\LowBrightness from 0 to 5.
Are we ever gonna get a Focus S forum?
do you also know how to change the auto dimming on the omnia7/focus when there are more than a certain amount of white pixels on the screen?
@clfosk: Pretty sure you don't even need to open the app once. The file that needs to be deployed is copied by the XAP installer itself, not by the app - I suspect the app is a total dummy. You probably do have to run the instructions before uninstalling the app though - it might take the deployed file away with it again otherwise (or it might not, haven't actually tried this yet).
I haven't been able to find this referenced anywhere, but I can't believe it's only happening to me.
For some reason on CM10-based roms, editing the backlight levels and hitting 'Save and Apply' doesn't actually do anything - if you hit 'Reload Current' or just back out and enter the settings again, the original stock brightness settings are still there.
The weird thing is, the changed settings are stored in the settings.db in /data/data/... it's as though the settings app itself isn't reading it back or just keeps using defaults.
Can anyone get their CM10-based rom to save custom brightness settings? If so, which rom?
My phone has an incorrect setting in Accelerometer. About apps like GPS Status, I can also calibrate again but it never keeps systemwide the settings. I have now found the Samsung menu item in a roundabout way, "Horizontal Calibration". Unfortunately, he maintains system-wide values not, neither in 2.3 4.12 or Cyanogenmod ... Someone an idea how the phone keeps the new setting?
Thank you very much
I can't get in accessibility in the settings... Unfortunately, accessibility has stopped pops up every time.
Does anyone know how to fix that?
Thanks...
Never mind, it's because I changed dpi
I have run into a strange behaviour with my Z2.
I've now tried 2 cleanly flashed ROMs (AICP and RR) and with both I get the exact same issues:
Every now and then U-touch functions seem to reset to some predefined actions without the settings itself being changed nor is the keylayout file changed:
Tap is back, press does nothing, double press opens camera, swipe left does nothing, swipe right opens menu. Screen rotation stops working as well and advanced reboot options are gone as well. There might be other issues as well but when ever I run into the previously mentioned issues I just restart the phone and all settings are back to normal.
What could be causing this? It does not seem to be a hardware issue per se, as I would imagine the touch button would to stop responding altogether. Now it just resets to some weird predefined actions.
Could this be about the baseband ppl seem to be mentioning everynow and then?
I've attached screenshot of my baseband.
This has something to do with the "system profiles". I have been using them once I understood how handy they are.
I just got the bug again when my profile changed from "default" to "home". I changed back to default and disabled the whole profile system and my screen started to rotate and u-touch actions returned to those that I have set.
Is this "system profiles" thingy a CM/LOS feature? Where should I nag about this?
This is indeed a LOS14 issue.
Faster workaround than rebooting is to switch wifi off ( or what ever is the trigger u got) and lock and unlock the phone one time normally and then activate wifi to enable "home" profile again.
