Change Touch Key Back light Brightness?

I know it is possible. But is there an app that does that? I know, well I think I used to have one. The LG worked perfect on my G2X. But anyways, please tell me if you guys know any application that does that. Thank you. Also, if you find something on Google, don't come here and start calling me a moron or anything and just help out. Please.

What makes you able to say "I know its possible" i honestly dont believe its possible because its a gpio controlled LED. Therefore the cpu only understands "on" or "off" values. Where 0 is off and anything higher than 0 is on no matter what brightness you might want.

I'm with elesbb here, I don't think our specific hardware allows it. You were able to actually do it in cm7 or just that there was an option in cm7? There are options in general roms (like cm) that aren't necessarily applicable to us

If you're talking about "use custom levels " it doesn't work. Hence why at the very too it says "sensor value " and reads a -1 for both raw and filtered and a disabled for screen and a -1 for buttons. My assumption is that either the kernels or the cm9 software isn't completely ironed out and there are some minor tweaks needing to be fixed yet.

I'm not asking where the setting is, I'm asking if you were physically able to turn down the brightness of the touch keys? If you were, please provide a picture with the keys dimmed and not dimmed. I'm 99% sure that our hardware doesn't support it. Not to mention our kernel.

I was able to turn it off by using those settings. But I never tried dimming it.

Annoying Screen Timeout!

So I'm watching a video (expanded to full screen) on the stock browser at night in a dark room when the screen times out.
I can't find any way of switching the screen timeout off, and have to resort to setting the time to maximum and having to reopen the screen and restart the video every 10 minutes.
There has to be a solution to this annoying problem? Please?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

Is smart stay enabled or is it just not working on the dark room ? If smart stay is not working then you can just pull out the s pen from it's holder or hover with the s pen instead of closing the video.

Not saying watch video can confirm the screen burn issue..just saying maybe it can cause life span of screen burn become short..but definately amoled screen can not avoid it..

Fair enough, but there is "no issue."
Why have this phone if you don't use it? Besides, full screen is probably one way to AVOID burn in.
What are you even talking about?

Yes, this avoids the screen burn. Screen burn only happens because some of the led's are used more than others which is why some degrade faster which results in varying color contrasts. Using full screen almost all the time however, uses all of the led's, thus all of them will degrade at a slightly similar rate and the change of color contrast would not be as noticeable to the common eye.

If you mean stock internet browser it will time out don't know why I streamed hell in a cell last week had the same issue doesn't happen on any other phone I know of just this one...I had to stretch the screen so it looked full screen and it stayed on strange I know
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

I'm having the same problem not sure why there would be this problem considering no phone for the last 4 years have had this problem. Terrible overt sight by Google/Samsung. Really interested if some one finds the solution to this.

Use Profile Scheduler from the play store it lets you set up a profile with a setting for screen time out never option. Thats the only reason I use it. I listen to alot of music in my truck and it keeps the musoc player from going to sleep.

Screen time out issue is only when watching flash enabled videos in browser.
Reason : Flash is not supported in Jellybean officially,
So just using flashplayer.apk will not rewrite screen timeout settings in system files.
And, smart stay doesn't work in dark room with lights off.

Nexus 4 Display control

Has any of you tried this app yet? maybe its useful to get rid of the yellow tint of the nexus 4? It was made by Francisco Franco
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nexus4displaycontrol

Judging by the reviews it should work. I know im getting it once i receive my N4.

It does work. I just don't know what each setting combinations look the best.

I don't notice yellowing yet. Guess if it appears, I know how to fix it now. Since it looks like software, why isn't this fixed?

Can someone post their settings for this app. Black's are too light and colors not as vibrant as when using cm calibration settings on the previous nexus'

This is a different type of screen. Blacks will not be as deep nor colors will it be as saturated as super amoled. As far as settings I use 255 190 255.

I use Fauxclock. It's got CPU/GPU clock and voltage control, in addition to color (and gamma, when ROMs/kernels begin to support it). You can also select an IO scheduler.
Basically it does all the same stuff as Voltage Control, SetCPU, Incredicontrol, and N4 Display Control, but it's in one app so it's overall cheaper.

I went to a Best Buy today and compared my N4's screen directly to a Optimus G. I didn't actually think my screen looked yellow at all until I compared it to the Optimus G. My N4's screen looked terribly yellow, was less bright, and had worse viewing angles than both of the Optimus G's my local Best Buy had on display.
Based off the first post in this thread for the GNex, I set my Nexus 4 to settings of:
182
190
200
I haven't tinkered too much but this seems to make things a bit better.
Has anyone else experienced the screen turning very yellow, almost brown, when viewing from the corners of the device? I am pretty unhappy with the viewing angles on the phone, especially after comparing it to the Optimus G, which is supposed to have the same display.

Do you think there is a limit set on the brightness maybe a dev could unlock that limit to make the phone more brighter

This app puts an overlay on top of your screen, so it doesn't really "change" your display colors. Also: the overlay should disappear when you try to install an app because of the security issues with having one in place when trying to install an app. I believe Lux and other similar apps do this too.

The screen settings definitely do not change when you attempt to install a different app.
Why do you say this is just an overlay? It is baked into the kernel.

Cyanogen Mod 10.1 does this now. When you adjust brightness via the settings menu, you can click edit and adjust the autobrightness levels.

Is CM10.1 the only one? Or can I expect all ROMs with a CM base to do this as well?

I can confirm this does not have an effect on battery life. Seems like even though the display backlight can be lowered, it does not change how much power is consumed to keep the screen on. Go ahead and experiment yourself.

If this is true it seems to me that manufacturers should try and address this issue of power consumption by displays. Don't get me wrong I enjoy a nice screen as much as the next user, but I'd rather sacrifice a slightly downgraded display for better power management by the device itself.

I think manufacturers should go back to 4 inch displays. They are much easier to use one handed and smaller screens are so battery friendly. My old Atrix 4G would give me 8 hours screen time on Wi-Fi.

u can try screen filter.

Use Lux and set it up according to your preferences!. Simple, clean and available for all ROMs!!

Wonder why only Sprint (maybe Verizon) have Night Mode and other models don't. From the reviews I've read, it is a missed option for taking low light photos and makes a difference that smart stabilization doesn't match. Added golf shot? but remove night mode, seems odd.
Anyone know if it is possible for a ROM to be made for the TMO version, but using Sprints files or just the camera app software?

Yes, you can pm your favorite rom developers or .apk modder to just get the application.
