registry hack - trackball light

Hi guys, anyone know the registry settings to make the trackball light stay on longer? I have a xda orbit and I love the blue light on the trackball.

I also wants this to light!! Everyone turns around when they see the phone when the blue light is shining.

Hey i'm looking for a tweak to disable it...
A tweak exists but doesn't work on Artemis
Maybe someone should modify the DLL file to do that...
Anyone can help us, otherwise i'll sell it : this blue led is horrible !!!!!!!!!!!!

Count me in!
It must be the way to disable this blue LED!!!
I can`t read in the dark, cause every time I roll it to go to next page, this damn things flashes :-(

Excuse me? Why somebody may want to attract people attention with a blue light? Nothing else to demonstrate?

I want it off for good. Damn thing sits there lighting up all the time at night when i'm using the ball.

You can easily tweak the registy to disable the dll (lightsdr.dll) controling the backlight.
I'v tried and "it works" : keypad stays off but screen backlight is maximum and when you switch off the device you can't switch it on, you have to soft reset...
So it is not the solution but i think it's possible to modify that. But maybe we have to edit the dll file, i don't know ?
Anyone has a better solution ?

HI,
has anyone made any progress with this? The light is bloody annoying when reading ebooks in the dark, its like being in a disco!

I use to read eBooks in darkness by Haali Reader or Alreader. Both programs have tap-zones on screen for preset actions such as page down etc. Their feature is: neither the ball, nor other buttons are shining when you choose the next page by pressing tap zone responsible for page down (or page up etc.)! It's the only way to get rid of anoying shine of the crazy diam...ball!

Blue led
next someone will be asking if it can flash in changing colours.
Flashing LED's do my head in even when trying to sleep the constant flash lights up the room.
a hack would be great.

I think the Flashing Status indicator is the best thing that comes with the PDA... I dont need to switch it on or walk to the table across the room... I just simply look on the Status LED, Green, fine ill just remain seated, Orange, oh wait theres something waiting for me ^^ And at night.... How about turning your PDA to the other side? And this is not meant offensive or funny in any way!!

sorry and not taken as offensive.
I have never used the leds for anything other than annoying colours, but we live and learn.
lets just be clear you are talking about the top leds next to the speaker correct.
god i have had xda, xdaiis, xda exec and now orbit and never knew or even noticed the different colours, just that they bugged me.
I suppose read the manual is the morel of the story.
I still maintain if we could turn them on and off it would be best of both worlds so that at night they dont annoy.

erm, you guys tried keeping your thumb over the annoying blue light?

I tried changing the value's in HKLC\drivers\builtin\jogball\ but also has no effect.
Added DWORD's DisableBacklight, DisableLight, Backlight, no effect either.
Who can Help?

I know this thread is old but did anybody ever find a way to switch the blue LED off?

HELP!
Please send me the reg values for JOGBALL

needed to forget those values
Thanks in advance!!!
I think I need just WheelMaskInterval [30] & WheelSendUpInterval [90]
Solved

Very strange screen problem(amoled)

Undere the normal status/notification bar there's something like anoter status bar stucked...for example when i start the phone,there's the htc logo on a white screen,and in the highest part of the display I can see a status bar but it's like if it's under the white screen becouse it's difficult to see.
Also when something goes into that part of the display it changes a bit the colors,like if there's a sort of veil over...
what can i do?

here is a pic
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
as you can see...in that part i can see a clock stuck at 18.38 and other notification symbol .-.

I'd put my money on screen burn-in.. have you by any chance had the screen on for hours on end? then that would explain it.

Is it like that on ALL other ROMs? If yes then it's a hardware problem and you can a) contact HTC b) change your screen yourself.

[HOWTO] Turn off screen (kind of) while recording.

So I know a few people have asked about this around the net and I've yet to find a solution for this so I thought I'd post my little workaround.
Anyone that's tried to create a long timelapse with the GNex will tell you 1) you NEED to be plugged into AC the whole time and 2) Phone gets extremely hot. Since brightness is automatically increased when recording video, and can't be decreased I use the following combo/setup as a workaround.
Download Screen Filter from Market (**** a play store) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor&hl=en
This app essentially lets you tint your mobile screen from a percentage range of 2-98% of your current brighthness.
Once the app installed go into drawer and add the apps widget to one of your home screens, and set your desired tint percentage. I'm currently at 2% and that makes my screen look like its completely off (except for softkeys)
The final product ends up looking like this..
lol and for all you pervos out there dont be using this workaround to secretly record down/up women's clothes and such...

there is a spycam app called simple notepad that will give you a complete black screen while recording and lets you take pictures by tapping the screen. it works great with amoled scene since the phone looks like it's off when there is a black background. it'd didn't work so good on my atrix but great on the captivate. It's not in the market so you will have to google it.

thanks for the tip I'll check it out

but how can you do anything after recording has started? my phone stops recording even if i press the home button.
or do you darken it before you start recording, and then navigate blindly? how do you undarken it afterwards?

hmm... the screen filter idea seems kind of good, even though you have to navigate blind through the menu... I wish there was a native way of achieving this, just like a button in the camera to turn the screen off and back on again on a tap somewhere or so... But I think it works for my problem, thank you for your idea.

New Kind of screen flickering.test your one

please try this in your phone .set your brightness in lowest .For me it's most noticeable when i'm scrolling slowly, e.g. when in the settings menu, or the twitter app. Try scrolling very slow up or down in settings,.
I think this should be common problem .please test your one .

Yes that happens, but it is not an actual screen flickering issue, rather an optical illusion created by textured backgrounds. I don’t use twitter, therefore not sure what kind of a background it has, but if you look closely at the white background displayed in phone settings, you will see that it has a textured background with very thin diagonal lines. Its more visible when the brightness is low because otherwise the lines are too light to be noticed.
Go to this page and scroll the page, you will see the same flickering effect on your computer monitor

this link shows the problem that I have with my phone .in this link I see same flickering and I understand this is a optical illusion .but I think our phones problem is not a optical illusion .because I tried several htc one x ,30% of them had this problem .also you can find this problem in any white page.
Can you find this flickering in your phone ?
what about others ?

Just as well I'm using auto brightness - no issues for me!
Seriously, are you trying to find problems??

Try with screen filter app. It flickering a lot

I found a new issue - when I look at my screen through my polarised Ray Bans I see random colours and it flickers like mad - it MUST be faulty!!

I can ONLY see the flickering effect in the settings page. It doesn't happen on any other normal white backgrounds. That is why I said it is an optical illusion.
