@Somator

Hey m8.

I'm very interested in tiny_gb_mod with brightness fix by you.

Do u think it will come soon?

This would be just awesome.

Thx and greetz
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
i think easiest way is to fix is to use .so sensor extracted from any 2.3.3 gb out there - try this for first - no changes in framework are needed if you use my tinymod
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MasterJam882:
where do I have to search in such a ROM?

Do I have to flash a 2.3.3 first to extract such a file or is this file accessable in a .tar file?

Maybe someone can send me such a file in here and tell me where I have to move it.

Thx to all here for ur help.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
download some 3 file 2.3.3

you need winrar to open tar/md5 files and magiciso to open rfs inside (factoryfs.rfs is one that youre looking for)

inside in /system/lib/hw/ is sensors.default.so that youre looking for

extract it to your pc then move to phone internal sd

from it copy to /system/lib/hw in your phone overwriting one youve got already (you might want to backup original first)

then after succesfull copying restart phone into recovery and pick fix permissions or saftey

should work from now on
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MasterJam882:
Nice!

Thx m8 for this detailed tut.

Will try it after work!

Lemme say u do a great job in these forums!

greetz

Dammit!

That worked...did what u say and now it works flawlessly. When it is so easy why there's no script yet that does what u described here.

Would save many ppls time here!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
glad i could help =)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] leroys:
+1 would love a script for this auto brightness fix, its the only thing I need now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hrithan2020:
I finally , got the framework-res working :)...

However, the arrays.xml doesn't seem to be properly taken.

I have set the lcd backlight value to 1, but still the brightness , is rather high..(If you do the same in CM7, you will notice a much lower brightness, in this case the brightness is similar to 0% brightness is stock ROM's)..

Is there something, I am doing wrong? Do you get v.low brightness , when using your fix? (I think the standard 0% brightness corresponds to 20% in the lcd backlight value).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] triplex76:
THIS IS 100% WORKING WITH ALL LUMINOSITY STEPS !!:rolleyes:

cwm flashable!!!

without ANY array modification to ANY value!

works both with odex/deodexed and got just lil of mod (%bat and glow effect)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
you should mention that this will erase any MOD/THEME you have as it has framework-res.apk and services.odex so it is also for odex only

do ir properly mate not just copy over someones work ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] triplex76:
nope this is not someone else work...

I just was bored of the nonsense around brightness fix so finally give a look myself at this issue.

as you can see it works with all steps without any mod to brightness level!

why?

cause the issue is not there!

and it's not only sensor module related!

find the difference;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
i have no time to decompile your files, enligten me mate and explain why putting .so from older gb worked for mate up there at this very same thread page ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] triplex76:
it worked for you cause you don't use a custom kernel!

end of the story
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
it was not me that got fixed by so only it was MasterJam882 few posts up - please concentrate if you want to talk with me =]
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MasterJam882:
...and this guy, talking about MasterJam882^^, is using Semphore kernel... just want to let u know

greetz
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madd0g:
Actually this seems to work for me too, I'm running F1 v9 JVP ROM, copied the .so from a deodexed stock JVO and it works nicely :]
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
@thed0g

you are not using any custom kernel? speed,talon,supercuruios, whatever ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madd0g:
I think this F1 ROM uses Dark core as default.

But it's not quite "proper" fix for me, because it knows only 3 levels, the lowest (6), 5000 and full (15000)*, still better then before when it didn't even put the max brightness. So for a better auto adjusting one would still need the values modified.

* numbers are from a Sensor aid app
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
darkcore huh. ah i was not aware of that fact

jvo knows 5 levels to my knowledge 5 -1000 - 5000 -10000- 15000 as every other stock samsung so. look in this great app -> https://market.android.com/details?id=zausan.zdevicetest / its faster then reading logs and trusted app ;)

15000 is realy bright sun for me

10000 is on sun / strong lighting

5000 is inside building at day

1000 is dusk or dark place

5 is night basicly
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madd0g:
Nice app, thank you. Did the sensor testing and it was mostly on 5000, 5 inside and 15000 only when the sun covered the display, 5000 if not (which is very limiting). So I guess it doesn't play well with this kernel :]
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
if it showed those 3 readings those 2 more must be also working but the sensor did not met conditions to report 1000 or 10000. i am curious, what are the vaulues in your arrays.xml? the config_autoBrightnessLevels and config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues can you check that ? from framework-res.apk pulled out of this f1 rom youre using, maybe those are edited to fit cm7 lib for example
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madd0g:
Already tried to open the framework-res.apk as an archive, but no /res folder in it , or do I need to use the apk-manager to see it ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
can you send me in pm that framework file?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madd0g:
Sent. Tried to decompile with dependancy myself, but It says the twframework-res.apk ain't the correct one
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
arrays are same as in stock so this so is ok for it - test the sensor a bit while covering it with hand partialy =) thats how i made it show all readings, i covered more and more the sensor =)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madd0g:
Nope, looks like its trying to be between 5 and 5000 but it just jumps from 5 to 5000 quickly, same on sun from 5000 to 15000. Maybe to try a JVH or JVK .so ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MasterJam882:
I confirm that there are only 3 values phone is switching between. But at least it works^^
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
that is wierd =) maybe there is something more edited
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hrithan2020:
You need to decompile the apk, using apk-manager or apktool. Only , then you'll be able to see it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] -freedroid-:
I replaced the JVQ sensors.default.so with the one from stock JVI and Auto brightness is working again.

I tested it with Stock JVO Kernel and Custom Talon 0.3.1.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nauj23:
Will this work with speedmod and jvq?

Thanks!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] -freedroid-:
U can test it by yourself. IMHO it should work.

Replace default sensors.default.so in /system/lib/hw/ with the one in the attachment.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] madd0g:
I even got auto brightness working with some .so, but it maxes at 10000 only instead of 15000. On a bright sunlight, that ain't enough
[Galaxy S I9000 General] movitum:
i tried the .so file with speedmod and it would only give me 2 states (maybe because i couldnt find how to fix permissions in cwm? i dunno).

now i tried with semaphore kernel (and managed to fix perm) and it gives me atleast 3 states. tomorow ill test if all states are working right, now off to sleep :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] -freedroid-:
I can confirm that. Only 3 states are used with the so i provided a few posts ahead.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
any of you guys having problems with 3-step-only autobrigteness or none at all

use any modifications od status bar like removed clock

or maybe this EDK.apk to customize status bar

ive just discovered that editing some files that edk influences can break autobrighteness ...

would appreciate feedback
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MasterJam882:
When I was on JVP I used ur tiny_gb_mods and smaphore kernel...

with sensor.so as I said 3 step brightness worked.

Now I'm on JVQ without mods and stock kernel and brigtness is working flawlessly^^

Maybe this helps u
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chappatti:
Sorry to poke here!

BUT I AM WAYYY, Wayyyyy confused..........The discussion is all over town so I am going to ask for help.

I am running a custom ROM running Talon kernel 0.3.2. Pleaseeee, please what is my best option? Can i request full instructions and files?

Please dont send me off to read another post cause my head is going to explode......... {=( {=(

I am tired of my screen brightness sucking !!!!!!

EDIT: running a custom JVP.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MasterJam882:
M8 this thread contains only 6 pages. did u read these? if.yes u would see somators post in which he tells in detail what to do and even the necessary file 'sensor.so' was uploaded. so read 2 pages before und u will be happy
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chappatti:
Okay to answer Master jammer also.....

1. I was originally reading lukiqq post and somators discussion.......went way overboard for me. I cannot see what the conclusion was there.

2. then I found flypubec post here.......I tried the attached .zip file. Nothing happened to brightness !!!!!!

3. In above quote somator says "download some 3 file 2.3.3" what is "some 3 file" Is that a typo? What is the file?

4. then there is this "tiny_gb_mod?

5. And I cannot get any logcat to work...........SO I am so so confused !!!!!!:confused::confused::confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MasterJam882:
A 3 file FIRMWARE...u can download on samfirmware...I took JVI.

But because I'm a nice guy u don't have to download it. Just take my attached zip and extract sensor.so. After that replace it like Somator explains it:

"copy to /system/lib/hw in your phone overwriting one youve got already (you might want to backup original first)

then after succesfull copying restart phone into recovery and pick fix permissions or saftey"
[Galaxy S I9000 General] blackspp:
Hi all, after reading this whole thread like 3 times I conclude this is actually quite a confusing thread, no, it's a real life experiment on what to replace on what rom, odexed or deodexed, with what kernel with x levels of brightness as a result, or no result, or something braking.

Is the confirmed fix working on any configuration replacing the sensors.default.so file?

If so that would be great news and could then be incorporated by the kernel modders!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
thats some kind of fix i guess, you can use so file from 2.3.3 (so same version as kernel that are breaking the file in the first place) people report working sensor but only in 3 states - this way is less invasive - and i am not so sure if they test it properly, hard to belive that 3 states are working and 2 missing...

second way is to take so file from cm7 and adjust values for it in framework... tadaah end of story
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fredbull:
HI !

This bug of Auto Brightness only exist with JVP Roms ? No problem with JVQ ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
Seems to be an issue with any custom KERNEL out there for 2.3.4

Only cfroot that is basically root only is brightness bug free

Sent by HAL 9000 using XDA App
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fredbull:
Ok sadly :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Brotuck:
So basically it is using a driver from 2.3.3 Right ?

With modded framework-res.apk values

But do i also need to change/update other files like the services.jar and twframework-res.apk ?

So this can also be done for JVQ ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
can be done in jvq - why edit other files ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Brotuck:
What can be done in JVQ ? Can you be more specific ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] s3icc0:
can I use it on JVQ? JUWE 5.1 with Talon 0.4.1.?

And is there any chance to make this script more inteligent? I mean fluent/smooth changes and not an exaggerated changes in brightness with minimum ambient light changes? (more levels with up/down treshholds)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] devbot:
I Tested it on JVQ with SpeedMod t23 and it works

just download the zip on the first post and replace the sensors.default.so inside as explained by torrentvip
[Galaxy S I9000 General] marwan91:
thxx for the fix!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lightarrow:
Works for stock jvq with speedmod t23.

No problems whatsoever. It does however change the look of the battery indicator.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] devbot:
Indeed, the battery indicator changed (its the same as cyanogenmod, you can see the percentage next to the gauge) and somehow for me it also enabled the screen off animation.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] makol999:
Thankieeee

Thanks so much - works perfectly on JVP Ficeto Deodexed + SM t23 kernel but it changed my overscroll glow from yellow to blue and battery indicator to the CM7-like with "I%" :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] themanssx:
replacing .so posted here and fixing permissions (twice - idk why but it seems it need it twice) works acceptable. Stock odexed jvq with damiangto kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Brotuck:
Yes replacing just the .so file is sufficient. I used the one from JV9 and this one works fine. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jimmysalvo:
I can confirm that it does work perfect in JVQ+CF-root.

You could also change the title of the post

Thanks a lot
[Galaxy S I9000 General] superwahwah:
How do you fix permission (with root eplorer), I tried to change .so but lightsensor still bug

stock JVQ Odex
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SnoopyDog:
It's a bit strange:

In JVO, autobrightness was working properly for me. In JVQ it's broken. But when i compare the values under "config_autoBrightnessLevels" and "config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues" for both versions, they are exactly the same. So it seems not necessary to modify the "framework-res.apk" to fix this bug.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
it was never an issue of stock kernel

it WAS an issue of custom kernels builded from OUTDATED sources

now it is fixed in custom kernels with proper light sensor source from samsung

but once again it was never an issue of stock kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SnoopyDog:
But i have this issue with stock JVQ (like many others)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] $omator:
i repeat

stock firwares have no problems with autobrighteness

also it was resolved with updated custom kernels

and updated themes that was using changed sensor file and/or franework

i am not able to tell more with the data you provided

if you phone a mehanics and tell him that your car had a failure

he will not tell you the exect problem with it unless he will examine it and gather more data

hope you understand this
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SnoopyDog:
Autobrightness does not work properly (reported from other persons and me) in the standard JVQ software (leaked or from Samsung Kies, doesn't matter).

Yes, autobrightness is doing something, but it's not working properly anymore in a

JVQ version. In JVO it's working as it should.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ec95:
Hi,

I love my SGII but im not happy with the sound quality when playing media using the 3.55mm jack. I connect the phone to my car speakers and the sound is very uneven. It goes up and down in volume and density. The sound is great though when using inbuilt speakers or through Bluetooth headset. Anyone else with this problem? I know the Carconnection is ok, cause sound is even and clear when using other phones. Any advice is appriciated.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harani:
recently upgraded from stock Hero 2.1 to Elelinux7.1.0 mod (android 2.3)

it was good but too laggy on "Angry birds" ;-) so i tried Fusion!ROM 2.2 and eventually settled on Elelinux 6.2

One thing i noticed about all of these ROMS was I'd lost some functionality on the phone app

on 2.1 i used to be able to start typing a persons name using alpha characters on the phone number pad and it would resolve to the best matches. much faster than scrolling through a contacts list

so if fro example i type 7838.... it would be looking for number beginning 7838 but also suggesting any contacts called "Steve" because of the alpha characters on those keys.

My friend's stock Samsung galaxy S running android 2.2 does this so i know it's not something that's been removed in later versions

Non of these new ROMS seems to do this. Has this functionality been removed from the underlying (Cyanogen ?) build or am i missing something obvious and the autosearch needs to be switched on in the settings somewhere.

(or can anyone suggest a Froyo ROM that does have this functionality please because i really miss it ?)

cheers

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0zmic:
That feature was the HTC dialer.

Try GoContacts or Dialerone from the Market.

Brilliant, thanks !

i guess Samsung must also have their own version that doe the same

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4rk84:
I find touch pal dialer is the least laggy alternative dialer. why stock doesnt include this search function is beyond me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harani:
thanks, i tried a few different ones and that's the app i settled on too.

It's really good as it does "fuzzy" searches not just what the name you are looking for begins with

Although I've got it on my main screen and associated it with the physical phone button it would be good if i could drop it onto the bottom task bar in place of the stock phone dialer.

Anyone know how to do that ?

Very happy with my Acer Iconia. From my “Microsoft Netbook" past there is a DVB-T dongle left. (TV on PC)

When I tried to watch video clips on youtube, it would freeze up.

I did a reboot. After the reboot I still had the same issue.

When it finally let me go back to the home screen, I went to applications, dragged the icon to the top, and select force close. I then went back and clearrd the cache.

So far it's working ok.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Try searching question has been asked multiple times .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ray1:
i'm looking for this answer too.

i feel safer keeping it in the internal USB rather than the external SD card,

the external sd card might get corrupted, or accidently disconnected in a small drop or thud.

i've read other threads in this forum, and google "move apps to internal usb instead of external sd" it leads me to other forum where there is no clearn answer.

so far these are the few that i've tried. remove external sd, and try to move apps to sd (hoping it will move to internal usb in the absence of the external sd), but fail. tried with rom toolbox with external sd remove, but still fail to move to internal usb.

so jje, when you say try searching, question been ask many times.

do you mean there is NOOO way it is possible to move apps to internal USB?

is this a conspiracy to force us to buy external SD card?

Hello oinkylicious,

thank you for your reply.

but i'm sorry to let you know you are mistaken.

the

"SD card" refers to the EXTERNAL SD CARD.

i tried moving several big apps(>100MB in total), checking the task manager, shows that system storage reduced, and SD card increased. while USB storage did not change at all.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lennyjaxn:
I apologize if this has been discussed/answered elsewhere. A search didn't bring up anything. If it has, please link me to the appropriate thread. Thanks!

I'm currently using Simply Stunning 5.4, which is Android 2.3.4 and based on CM7. For some reason, the custom phone settings menu has removed the option to adjust the DTMF tone length between Normal and Long. CM (and possibly Gingerbread in general--not sure) defaults to short tone length, which my Verizon voicemail inbox refuses to recognize for my password. It acts as though I haven't pushed any buttons, even though I can hear the quick tones. When I back up and flash a stock 2.2.2 ROM, which has the option in there, and I change it to Long tones, I can access my voicemail no problem. But that's a hassle just to check voicemail. I love Simply Stunning and Gingerbread! There HAS to be another way to access this setting...right?

It seems like it should be as simple as a line of code somewhere with =1, 2 or 3, and if I could just change that number to 3 for Long or whatever, things would be great.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!
