Hello dear XDA members.
I posted on reddit a post about disabling ambient display, someone helped me and i did it. (Can't post link since its my first post and it alerts me i need to post 10 times untill i'll be able to post links.)
I was sure the screen will still wake up, but on regular RGB colors, not the ambient black/white (AMOLED like) colors.
One of the lads there told me to ask here, maybe theres a zip or something i can flash that will still wake up the screen when recieving an notifaction,
but not on black/white colors, just regular rbg, like when i press the power button.
So, anyone have any solution?
Sorry if its the wrong place, i am new to XDA and i assume its the best place i can ask for anything like it.

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
I was playing with values trying to slow f'ckin' thing down and now my
wheel doesnt work... Noticed after five days, just as mutch as I
needed to forget those values
Thanks in advance!!!
I think I need just WheelMaskInterval [30] & WheelSendUpInterval [90]
Solved
the default of ~3 second intervals between flashing is a bit slow for my liking. Is there any way to make it flash faster when there are notifications to be checked?
Man I can't stand the gap between flashes. The "did I just see it flash?" thing I deal with every day. And why can't it flash green while charging? Or flash a different color for text, email and missed calls/voicemail? It does green, orange and red, surely this can be assigned by some sort of voodoo or dark arts?
Eric
You can use a program called nueled to adjust the LEDs to some extent, I don't believe you'll be able to adjust the flashing speed, but you can redirect the behaviors to make it a steady light and with some control over the color of the light.
I personally use it to kill off the LED while charging / finished charging, so that I can plug it in and do a crossword or watch a recorded show before going to bed without the light blinding me.
Cool thanks, I'll check it out! Wow your first post. I'm honored.

Just following up on this, I installed the version on the first page of this thread (v1.5)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371391
and it didn't do anything. The scanning function gave a popup error I couldn't make disappear without pressing the Call End button. There was registry removal info in one of the posts in that thread but I also received an error like the poster had. The Remove Programs uninstaller didn't work either.
My Tilt2 is on its way out of my life at some point hopefully soon, but it would still be nice to control the LEDs somehow.
Eric
A developer here on xda named zevele created blinker which will control the led on the tp2. I downloaded it here on xda. I dont know exactly where it is but search the tp2 forums and youll find it.
For those who may search and find this thread, the link to the blinker app is in the HD2 themes and apps sub forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830299
Hi guys,
i did a search but have found nothing regarding this kind of problem.
My display shows some kind of pattern on plain colors.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16054199/screen.jpg
Its worst on grey and white, (certainly) not seen on a black screen, and its almost not visible on the highest screen brightness. But, its very distracting on everything below and also visible in pictures etc. if looked closely.
I come from a S2 which had not this effect. Is it a faulty screen or a normal effect of the pen tile matrix?
I see the same thing when my screen dims down before it goes to sleep.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Just before it goes into sleep mode? (which afaik is even darker than the darkest setting while it`s awake).
I clearly see it under medium backlight setting, the grey elements of the market are a place where i always see it.
hate to break it to you, but that's just how the screen is(especially when the brightness is turned down & on plain colors). i've had 2 Nexus' and both did the same, even the ones on display in my local verizon store are the same way.
Turn the brightness up and it will go away. It's a quirk of the screen technology.
Allright, so i have to live with that... Thanks for your answers!
Is it possible to edit the levels of the automatic screen brightness?

If you're rooted and have Clockworkmod you can use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377410
Just make sure you meet the requirements and follow the directions in the thread. I have used this on a Verizon LTE Galaxy Nexus and didn't have any issues, even though it is in the CDMA form.
I am not the dev of this mod, just passing along the info.
awesome, thanks a lot!
I wonder if there's some kind of deeper hidden meaning to the pattern, some kind of subliminal message jk

Hey peeps!
Question First: Has anyone else found a LED flashlight app that works well on the DHD or Inspire that can dim the LED right down?
I want to use the LED on the back as a reading light so I don't have to drain the battery by using the screen but its simply too bright.
I am running an Inspire 4G on Revo HD 6.3.1. The stock flashlight app works well with the 3 levels avaliable and I don't want to kill the LEDs by over running them.
There are tonnes of flashlight apps out there, some using the led and some not. The ones I have researched either don't have a brightness adjustment on the LED or attempt to burn a hole in a sheet of paper.
The only app that I have found which relates to this is call "Reading Light" and is just an adjustable brightness grey screen.
If this has been discussed before please let me know and i'll request this thread be closed. I couldn't find anything regarding this aspect of the topic.
Regards,
Akida
I don't think this has come up before. Its a good request. I'd be interested in something like this.
Bump
Bump for confirmation of possibility please!
Btw .. how often am I allowed to bump? I couldn't find it in the forum rules.
CM 7.1 has a application called Torch which has two light levels. The dim one seems like it would be perfect for reading (it only uses 1 of the 2 flash LEDs). The bright level is insanely bright (much brighter than the Sense flashlight app).
There is an app on the market called Torch, but I don't think its the same one that comes with CM 7.1.

Hey that sounds like its worth a shot. Has anyone extracted the app from CM 7.1? I'm going to ask them for permission anyway.
Thanks for the info.
Details about screen and for context
The the last screenshot of notification panel is on dark mode, the panel should be black but its brown/grayish.
The 2nd one shows the black color (just for comparison)
I replaced screen from a 3rd party. The service is legit.
First thing i noticed is that , the screen calibration has been stuck on which seems like default color profile. There is no visible change when i switch between sRGB , Soft and Default. Custom does work as intended (add blues and yellow when i move slider).
I contacted the service i used and they have been very vocal. They have no idea what it is. I'm guessing something with color profiles issues. Hoping you would help me solve this mystery. Also any idea to get the screen calibration unstuck on a single profile. Thank you.
Will update post with more info if asked.
