I'm trying to scale down the "On" image to the same size as the"Off" but I'm not sure how.
I've tried using advanced parameters it doesn't work. I've also tried using the scale parameters but both image scaled down.
How do I do this?

Are these two images in one module with the tag or are they two separate modules? If it's the first, you won't be able to scale them independently and thus should resize the on image with an image editor so they have the same size. If it's the second option you should be able to use the scale parameter of the bitmap module for the on image independently.
Nope it is only one. The tag goes like: $#TWIFI#=on?/storage/sdcard0/ZooperWidget/Templates/Survival/OnButton.png$
I've used the off button as the base. So when widget on tap, it goes to tasker while changing the image also.
Anyway thanks for the info.

I'm wondering if its possible to make the backlight lower then what is the lowest setting on the stock htc rom? If so, roms/apps that let me lower it?
Thanks,

Major overkill for just adjusting brighness, but Tasker can set these very low brightness levels as well - If you have other uses for Tasker automation, it's a very powerful app. On the Brightness front, it can be used to create brightness preset widgets, or widgets which popup a brightness selection menu, and of course to automate setting brightness based on any number of circumstances...
Tasker is paid thats overkill for just a simple task IMO.

Well read my below post
Actually, I waslooking for an app that allows me to turn off the backlight completely, or make it nearly so....adjustable brightness doesn't go any lower then the native widget
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Just experimented with Tasker which allows you to set the brightness to a value from 0 to 255, setting a value of 1 didn't look too much dimmer than the dimmest that the system slider would set (on CM7, not stock) and setting 0 seemed to be the same as turning the screen off (CM7's screen off animation was displayed as the screen went blank.).
Hmmmmmm, well that's great....hopefully I can make an app that will do what I want

Can you just set it so low that its basically off but not 100%?

Its not much better then the stock lowest. So I'm not sure about just the backlight being off being possible

It's basically the same thing as the backgrounds option in Photobooth on a mac. It kind of works the same way as a green screen does (such as in weather reports). You step out of the frame, let it calibrate, and then you step back into the same frame, and now your background is customized. You obviously have to keep your phone extremely still and in the same frame for this to work. You can choose from several backgrounds to have (sunset, etc). So... yeah. That's what it is.

Is it possible to change the save folder location the screenshot file goes to? I prefer it be ScreenCapture; just like stock.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Screen shot has it default location, its part of the core programing so unless you know code you can not change it. I have yet to see any options for screen shot, anywhere.
No you cannot change the default location of where pictures stored, you can only move the picture to a new folder after you have taken the picture......Unfortunately
Thanks guys!

Per app or overall??
Open build.prop with R/W
Edit line ro.sf.lcd.density= 320 to a higher number. Will change it.. (just remember 320 is stock)

Rom i am running (The Peoples Rom, has that one set to 320, So going off it)
I use root explorer... So your steps may differ a bit
Open Root explorer, Go to SYSTEM, Build.prop... Long press and edit in text editor.. scroll down till you see that line in the build prop, Edit number , Save, Reboot phone. Now your density will change to set number. (I used to run higher on my OG epic) Hope it helps..
Just remember original setting if you don't like what it's changed to. You can also edit build.prop and add the soft keys (Nexus style) as well.
If i'm wrong somoene chime in.

Mount it as R/W (top option) it mounts as R/O normally. if you don't mount as R/W then won't save.

Try to edit on computer then flash rom.
Bout the only other way I can think of making it work. Edit build prop on the computer. Can try ES file explorer and see if it will take.

Whatever you do don't just blindly change your pixel density without knowing how it works. One of the posters said change it to a higher number, yeah right, is he nuts? the higher the number the less sharp and more chance your phone won't boot up, it's actually the lower the number the sharper the better so he got all his stuff twisted, he needs to go relearn.
Changing your dpi to something higher than what your actual screen supports is a guaranteed way to get softbricked and you will have to restore with odin.
Your screens pixel density can't be increased because its hardware physical pixels that were manufactured with in the first place so by lowering the pixel density from lets say in my case 306 for my galaxy s3 down to 240 I get a much crisper display with more room and also 720p movies look very good.
Are there any disadvantages to lowering the density?

If i stated to go wrong direction, thanks for the correction, I haven't messed with it on my S3, just did on my OG Epic.. No disadvantages that ive seen.. just everything is smaller on screen. Still looks good. I'm running stock 320 on my S3 for now.. Don't see a need to change it yet. Thanks again.
Lowering the dpi to 240 or even 260 has 2 benefits, one you get more room so you can fit more icons and everything and even have more dock items too and second benefit is that when you get more room for things and you see smaller icons etc that means they look more high def so everything you see becomes high def since things are not all huge and up in your face because the bigger something is the more pixellated it is get it? so i would definately go for at least 260 but 240 is even better.
I mean just think about it, you have a 4.8 inch display and huge things like widgets are taking up most of your screen so by going down to 240 you turn your screen into more tablet like with more room for you to put and do whatever you need. It's like i'm using galaxy tab 2 right now with dpi at 240.
Is there anyway to make the screen even darker? Even on the lowest setting the S3s screen is super bright. I was wondering if there is a mod or something that makes the lowest setting even dimmer. Like in the browser when your on power saving mode, the screen gets significantly darker.
