Light Sensor Screen as Disabled?

I just flashed Nightly 255 on my gf's Evo Shift. She came from a nightly back in August. Her auto backlight isn't working correctly. Under CM Settings, Display, Automatic Backlight, I have Light Sensor Filter enabled. Light levels "use custom" checked. I go to "Edit Other Levels" and in that screen I see that the sensor works, but the field "Screen" shows "disabled". Her screen is always at max brightness. That's really irritating when she first wakes up and checks her phone and she is nearly blinded. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the help!

[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
could be a bug in the nightly. You could flash 254 and see if the bug is still there.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Disable it. You may also want to look in to trying UKE on sdx-developers.com.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Why must you continually flame this thread about U.K.E. rom? Why don't you just start your own thread about it in the General section and leave this thread for Cyanogenmod nightly discussions?
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
That's why they are called nightlies because they are experimental. Just out of curiosity did you/she wipe before flashing? Sometimes wiping can fix some of the smallest issues.

If you don't think wiping will help you can flash this patch over it and it will install the older more stable cyanogenmod settings. My auto-brightness settings work fine and I'm on nightly #255 with this patch installed. Just make sure you flash gapps directly after flashing the patch. You don't need a ext or swap partition and the patch will still work fine and you'll be able to install all your apps and everything just fine.

[EVO Shift 4G General] CNLiberal:
Thank you for your reply. Its strange but the same auto-brightness problem occurred on her old CM ROM from August. I think my last idea will be to wipe system/install 255 again/wipe dalvik and cache and reinstall apps from Ti. Is that a good course of action? Dies your auto brightness work correctly? It doesn't show screen as disabled does it?
[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
Wiping everything is always a good thing. When you reinstall apps using ti just do apps and not system stuff cause that can cause problems in itself. I don't run cm nightlies or cm at all really so I can't answer your last question but I'm sure someone that runs it will :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] halrulez:
Hey i still have the v10 from spark
[EVO Shift 4G General] CNLiberal:
I wiped Dalvik before flashing the 255 Nightly. It's just interesting that this issue has been present for quite a while. I think it'll be best for me to wipe system/cache/dalvik then start again. And I'll backup apps/data before the wipe with Titanium Backup. No system info. Hopefully, that will work for her. I'm just glad to know others are not having this issue. Thanks!
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
I'm not flaming anything. I'm offering options, especially since there hasn't been a new nightly in almost a month.
[EVO Shift 4G General] blahbl4hblah:
You do realize that the buildbot which controls the nightly releases is down right? If you want a nightly then compile your own since its basically the same thing and there's sparksco guide for it.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
How long has buildbot been down? I thought 255 was the last nightly before CM9?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jedman67:
CM7 254 was driving me insane, so I mikshifted. I couldn't get 255 to flash, so I gave up on cm7
[EVO Shift 4G General] drob311:
You are correct. There will not be anymore nightlies until cm9 is released.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
I got this bug still where my keyboard occasionaly freaks out and any time I press certain letters it opens up random apps and only a reboot fixes it. Anyone else have this issue?
[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
I've had that issue on multiply nightlies. Never found the cause of it
[EVO Shift 4G General] blahbl4hblah:
Thats why you build your own from source so you keep getting the latest changes for cm7 as well as making it more stable

So what buildbot is down? I never downloaded from there ever since i could compile my own and the buildbot java is old while the one that i use is the latest
[EVO Shift 4G General] blahbl4hblah:
Oh so while you wait for it your phone may as well have the issues from that last released nightly from the buildbot unless you comoile your own. Its not hard to compile it just takes time thats it
[EVO Shift 4G General] drob311:
I'm not disagreeing I use a kang version that's updated weekly so I'm ok... but, some of us have 32 bit pc's, which make it really hard if not impossible to compile our own nightlies. And MAN AM I EXCITED FOR CM9! I have no issues with patience so I will make the best of what we have, which is already great, until cm9 drops... :)

EDIT!!!! CHECK THIS OUT!!! THIS LOOKS REALLY AWESOME AND IS SOMETHING TO TRY!!!! :)

Yeah lithid did mention he was going to work on something to remove bloat from cm roms...I'm already compiling cm repo for ICS but the source is still incomplete...so I'm having to make some of my own sources like the device source and vendor source for speedy. It's REALLY REALLY SAD to see the path that the Cyanogenmod team is taking with keeping device specific repos private. It's not really open source anymore.
[EVO Shift 4G General] blahbl4hblah:
It doesn't matter if you have a 32bit pc. It takes long to compile and thats fine when i first started it took like 3 hours to compile but i didnt care as long as it ran and worked like it should haved.

Its great to see lithid make something for the community again but since you gave that link are you using it?
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
I'm sure the community would thank you if you'd be kind enough to post your kanged builds so the Shifters can enjoy the latest and greatest like the T9 dialer.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
This must be some type of joke right? Show me one ICS rom including Cyanogenmod that includes the full source. Now you expect us to lol? I don't see how that works. The only people that ever provided full sources in this shift communtiy for gingerbread was Cyanogenmod and myself. Maybe if people start changing how they do things this community will be open source again. If not then it's just going to be the way things are I guess.
[EVO Shift 4G General] drob311:
I'm not using it yet but, if it works on 32 bit I will definitely be trying it out... I will post my results, I'm hoping to have it working by this weekend... kids can consume more time than anticipated! Lol

Just flashed nightly #32 and everything other then headphone jack is fine. Mms sends fast as ****. Good work toast. Donation coming soon
[EVO Shift 4G General] jchappies:
is there a temp fix for the headphone jack because i use that everyday.

Thats the only thing keeping me from installing this ROM
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
I've fixed the issue by dragging my iPod out. Others have fixed it with bluetooth headphones.

Another update: I installed GOSMS, toggled the "override APN settings" on and off again *without changing anything*, and sent a test MMS to myself. This caused all of my pending MMS messages to be sent and received. Uninstalled GOSMS...and now it's back to not working again.
[EVO Shift 4G General] BuddahWolf01:
I did not do a wipe of any kind, and my mms is not working on 32. For those who now have working mms, did you wipe?
[EVO Shift 4G General] crazyd1721:
Is anyone else having trouble with widgets not showing up... dont a have winamp, advanced task killer, to name a few... just wondering..
[EVO Shift 4G General] yokken:
I flashed 32 over 31 and it **** all over me. Google voice refused to send SMS messages, gmail wouldn't open, it was a nightmare. So i wiped and flashed fresh. 32 seems smoother and less buggy. The only problem i still really have is the fn/shift lights staying on, i can make them turn off again by hitting the button 3 times. I just need headphone jack and this fixed and im set.

forgot to say thank you so much toast, this **** is the bomb.
[EVO Shift 4G General] danaff37:
If widgets aren't showing up, then the apps are installed to sdcard. Got to settings/applications and find the apps and move back to phone storage.
[EVO Shift 4G General] crazyd1721:
Awesome...
[EVO Shift 4G General] BuddahWolf01:
I have had problems with battstatt pro widget disappearing, but now it just won't let me customize it. It is not on sd card.

I also had all my widgets get stuck in landscape view when I had went back to portrait... sliding open/close the keyboard fixed that.
[EVO Shift 4G General] AnalogXDA:
Tried #32 again, but *wiped* first this time. Now MMS works. That'll teach me not to half-ass things in the future, I guess.

So, in answer to your question, BuddahWolf01, yes. Try a factory wipe and install #32 again and that ought to do it.

#32 is the shiznit. Anyone using Data2Ext?

I saw Toast in IRC earlier say that he was working on a fix for the "wimax reconnect bug". That may be the issue you're referring to.

[EVO Shift 4G General] n0thing0000:
Is there a fix for not unlocking the phone without a password when taking out the keyboard using the gesture lockscreen through cm settings?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Ron Overdrive:
That it is. The "WiMax Reconnect bug" is related to android's DHCP daemon being unable to obtain a new IP address. That's why I referred to it as the "DHCP bug." Also how much earlier did you see this? I was on the IRC channel earlier today and apparently no one heard of the bug affecting the Shift till I brought it up this afternoon.
[EVO Shift 4G General] BuddahWolf01:
Thanks for the answer, but I was bored at work and tried it for my self. My results match your results. MMS is working if you wipe, not working if you don't wipe.

[EVO Shift 4G General] blahbl4hblah:
What have you contributed to the community? If you have where's the source?
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
I'm quite confused as to what you two are talking about. I merely stated that if dude wanted to post the ROM he's compiled from CM source for the rest of the crack flashers here that it'd be much appreciated. I said nothing about source and I really don't care if you post it or not, I don't even own a Shift.
[EVO Shift 4G General] cloverdale:
It is an actual feature, the issue is that the ROM is missing the code to tell certain apps to ignore the quick launch feature, and recognize the key inputs as verbatim. I have a work around, which for someone such as myself that does not use the quick launch, is as good as a fix. In settings, go to manage applications, then choose quick launch. Disable all of the shortcuts, then the keyboard will function properly.

No kidding. I have read this multiple times, trying to find some conceivable reason as to the reception you have received, and am at a loss.

P. S. You don't own a shift! Why are you one of the heaviest posters in the shift forum? :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
I should've said not *anymore. After my Shift broke again I had Sprint replace it with the Nexus S 4G. I bought my original Shift on the first day it was available, 1/6/2011 :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] cloverdale:
That makes sense. I bought mine the same week, my first android upgrade from my G1 that I bought in November 2008, and it is still running strong. I have done so much to it, hard and software wise, dropped it on tile, have never used a screen protector or case, and it is in perfect shape. I plan on sticking with it for at least another year or two.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bdbc:
+1
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Aw I honestly thought you were asking for a source from the way it sounded. It seems like a lot of people are parting from the shift lately for various reasons. I much like cloverdale seem to have pretty good luck with htc phones. It's like a die hard battery that just won't give up on me lol.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Thanks for the tip. I'll look more at the commits on github for settings and see if I can track down where and when it was added. Hopefully it's not a option that is in cm9 until it's bug free. If it's removable I think it would be better to just remove the feature for now.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Yes. This seems to have been fixed on 255 but I guess not.

Disable keyboard shortcuts.

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ----------

This is really cool. Thanks.
[EVO Shift 4G General] kindarandomz:
is compiling your own nightly difficult for a complete newbie? I've seen the changelog and I would really love to get the swipe to clear notification fix :D
[EVO Shift 4G General] bdbc:
Not sure, but I'd be curious as well. What would be a good resource for figuring out how to do this? I'm not a complete noob per se, as I am in the midst of taking CIS classes, though I haven't delved too much into Android dev'ing yet.

Are the computer requirements much like what Google lists for Android compiling requirements? Things like 16GB minimum RAM, a modernish processor, a Linux machine, Ubuntu recommended...?

Thanks.
[EVO Shift 4G General] blahbl4hblah:
If you look here for sparksco guide for compiling it shows you everything that you'll need

Cm9 for speedy isn't merged at all so you'd just get cm7 source for now

But I believe compiling your own on your own computer is better since you know what's on it.

As for requirements I used a dual core 3gb ram and it compiles fine before. But it took about 2 hours give or take depends on what you have. I have a quad core and 6gb of ram now and it finishes in 30 minutes

Here's the guide

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1084697
[EVO Shift 4G General] bdbc:
Oh, definitely not the heightened system requirements I was suspecting. So my 8GB i7 1.6GHz quad core should handle it alright then, without taking all night to compile. Good news. Thanks very much for the tips.
[EVO Shift 4G General] blahbl4hblah:
Yeah if its more than mine and more OC then it'll take maybe 20 minutes as long as its gb. If its ics maybe an hour
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
It's definitely not easy. I'm trying to compile CM9 right now. Just checking out the source from git takes a lot of time/disk space. I recommend having 20GB+ free space and at least 2-4GB of RAM.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Building_Kernel_from_source

change -b gingerbread to -b ics
[EVO Shift 4G General] blahbl4hblah:
Like I said before, I don't believe that there's ics for speedy yet unless your using your own device tree and such for that device.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Yes that is correct there is no cm9 speedy source tree.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Accually you need more more than that. You need at least 30GB+ space on your hard drive. For ram 5GB min at least. 2GB ram is not enough, your pc would most likely lock up with that amount of ram. I'm almost done compiling my first build of cm9 kanged accually.
[EVO Shift 4G General] blahbl4hblah:
I don't think VM will successfully compile it unless you get lucky and don't run anything else while it compiles. VM isn't recommended unless your computer is like 8 cores and A LOT of ram put into it
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Thanks sparksco, you're absolutely right. Why is there no CM9 source for speedy? I thought it was working great?
[EVO Shift 4G General] kindarandomz:
so just for clarification:

there will be NO nightly 256?

if so, why is there still a changelog and is it possible for me as a user to get any kind of update?
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
256 will probably be CM9. The changelog is all the changes being merged in to the htc_android_Speedy branch most likely for CM9 im guessing.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
You got me, I guess they're waiting for help on porting it like toastcfh did for cm7? Like you said I thought it was working great already. If they are waiting for cm9 to be stable for all supported devices before releasing the source that is going to take forever. Well until then we can try to port it ourselves I guess.
[EVO Shift 4G General] draven760:
Hello, I apologize in advance if this question is in the wrong area, but this seems to be the most active place discussing the nightlies.

I have a launch Evo Shift (almost a year old now), and am running Cyanogenmod Nightly 255 with a2ext and a ton of apps installed (above 200 apps running from a class 10 32gb card, dalvik cache on the card), and ScaryKernel with the smartass governor (max 1497 MHz). However, I sporadically get random reboots, gps not working (requiring a reset), camera reboots, and the rare "turn off" bug where it turns off while sleeping. In addition most recently I have a bug where every time that I reboot into clockworkmod recovery to back up , it resets almost all of my phone preferences.

I absolutely love cyanogenmod and appreciate the hell out of it and the work that has been done, but I'm wondering if these bugs are either due to running cyanogenmod nightlies or if I have a defective phone. I also have tried Sense-based roms such as Mikshifted, but the Sense memory overhead is just too large for me. I have no worries if the phone is defective, since I have sprint insurance and can wipe back to stock to exchange it. However, going through all the exchange, re-root and restore procedure would be a pain if its not necessary. Does anyone have any thoughts or advice?

Thanks in advance.

[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Yeah I think it's already been determined on that other thread that it's a kernel issue. Scary kernel is pretty out-dated.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
It's not a kernel issue, it's a governor issue.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
At any rate as the "OP" states, this thread is for discussion of cyanogenmod nightlies which means the stock kernel. If you want to discuss issues about extra mods like kernels or non cm nightly roms, there are a few options.

1). Start a new thread in general for Q&A about a specific topic

2). Post in a already threaded section. E.G. for scary kernel post in that thread in the development section.

3). Contact the developer directly via pm or any other means available.

And lastly, read the rules about posting on xda website before posting. These types of things should not really be that difficult to do unless your too lazy to search before posting, in which case you shouldn't post at all.

Glad you got it working. And on a side note. Being we are still on gingerbread, some of the ICS gapps floating around don't work due to stuff that people add in that isn't compatible with 2.3.x. A safe bet would be to use the crash gapps from rom manager. They are a little out dated but everything including the market updates itself instantly and with Titanium Backup you can have a schedule to integrate updates into rom. Those Gapps work 100%
