Thank you very much for your contribution! :D

Nice! Is working
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Mafioso:
Or

Tested the new libs...custom auto brightness with LED notification works now...awesome work :-D

However there is one bug, I have noticed that sometimes phone wakes up in full brightness and it doesnt go dim as it should after 1-2 sec or so...to get the correct level you have to turn the screen back off and on...this especially happens when phone was earlier in light room and then woken up in dark room...Maybe its because of backlight settings, I am following dormimax suggested settings..

One more thing, I would prefer phone light only turn green when phone is fully charged not before (90-100 range like now)

Also, it would be great if you can open source your changes since this way others can tinker/ fine tune the lib also :-)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ForgetfulGuru:
When setting custom brightness levels I'm guessing most users would remember to adjust the window length and set the times for sampling and re-sampling.

If I remember properly these were set at 10 seconds or something silly. Also for those new testers, try holding your phone under a desk lamp, then putting your finger over the sensor.

Tested on Hyperdroid 5.8 with Dorimanx Kernel 4.7

Using custom levels set over 10 sample rates. Auto dim and brightness working. Notification less doing their thang and charge indicator is amber below 90%.

Thank you for this fix, much appreciated. :D:thumbup:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] Rando81:
using Dorimanx Rom and kernel, i confirm fix is working perfectly
[HD2 Android NAND Development] vivebatu:
Working on stock miui with Warren's kernel
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ph03n!x:
Yup - that happened to me twice, where the phone wakes up in full brightness and does not go dim, but haven't seen it since then.

And yes, @milaq, the source would be great for all others to play with!

I think we should start posting the settings and levels that work the best for us?!! :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] wheeliemonster:
Hi All,

If anyone is using ICS or non-CM ROM that doesn't have custom controls, I have successfully used an app I found to control the auto brightness levels.

See my post here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22868037&postcount=1134

Custom Settings

+1 Yes So shall I get started then.

Settings > CyanogenMod Settings>

Automatic backlight > Enabled

Window length > 2sec

Reset threshold > 400lux

Sample interval > 2sec

Use custom > Enabled

Screen Dim level > 10

Edit other levels >> light sensor levels >

Default Settings:

Lower Upper Screen Buttons

0 10 89 255

11 40 89 255

41 90 126 255

91 160 164 255

321 640 187 0

641 1280 210 0

1281 2600 233 0

2601 infinity 255 0

Observation; Values are not held as new default and after save & apply new custom values they are returned to these defaults listed above. will double check file permissions of new liblights.so on my system named as lights.htcleo.so

New Custom Values:

Lower Upper Screen Buttons

0 50 89 255

51 75 89 255

76 125 126 255

126 250 164 255

2501 3000 210 0

3001 5000 233 0

5001 infin 255 0

Lowest value for screen is 89 even when holding thumb over sensor.

Highest sensor reading I can record in direct sun (Scotland dull day in Late Winter) is 10240 this is all so sensor reading under my desk lamp.

(Info Button values; 255 brings on hardware button in low light, 0 switches off hardware buttons in bright light.)

Save & Apply new sensor levels > back

Alow light decrease > Enabled

Decrease hysteresis > 50%

Flashing LED settings

Settings > CyanogenMod Settings>

Interface > LED Notifications > Unconfigured

Pick an Application you want to use the LEDs with;

i.e. K9-Mail > Category default/miscellaneous

LED Mode > Force LED on for Events

Flash Colour > green? Amber?

Test and Save.

You can of course set up some categories before hand (but what's the point they all do the same thing) makes it easier to add app in the future.

Advance settings to have LED pulse while screen is on. Useful in Silent setting.

Remember to tap save every time you make changes, other than that you should be good to go.

I will edit if setting are held as new default after I check permissions.

EDIT: custom light sensor levels are not remaining set to custom settings

Is this controlled by the same "fix"? All other adjusted setting remain as custom, e.g. window length time out etc.

If this not controlled by liblights.so where is this stored? other kernel files? default setting from Hyperdroid or Dorimanx?

Hate the thought of loading another App to control something that is accessible from the main interface controls.

END EDIT

All the best and happy modding. Billy :cool:

P.S. sorry for the layout forum controls will not allow tables (that I can see anyway)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bobjbain:
Have installed it on Tytung's NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.3-CM9 V1.4 and not had much joy

The power LED lights when plugged in but I'm not getting any notifications for emails, SMSs etc.

Replace lights.htcleo.so with the one for post 111, no joy

Noticed the ro.board.platform in build.prop was qsd8k so renamed the file accordingly, reboot, no change!

Where before the notifcation light would come on for .5 secs and then off for 5, now it doesn't flash at all.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] wheeliemonster:
I found that on ICS builds, you need LEDmeKnow or similar to control the LEDs. It works for me on IceCreamTosti 0.7 with LEDmeKnow (it's a free app on the market, and you need to enable Desire compatibility mode)

Hope that helps...
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bobjbain:
Hmm, didn't LedMeKnow used to overly drain the battery?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] milaq:
in cmsettings>...>custom autobrightness settings, try raising the number of levels by 1, apply>back>reenter settings, set the number of levels back.

that should do the trick. sometimes the settings db needs the values to be rewritten once.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] dorimanx:
Thank you so much for this FIX! it's was damaged years!

So i hope you dont mind if i will use it in my ROM for all my users!

I will add proper respect to you on my main ROM page for fixing the LIB!

This is really great! it's was missing for all for too long! and now it's works! :)

THANK YOU! for your contribution to community! :)

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

thank you for your great work you do! :)
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ForgetfulGuru:
Thanks I had just been trying to set them as ten values, never thought to increase it to eleven to rewrite the db. cheers. :cool:

EditThat done the trick. increased to twelve levels and set custom stepping by 16 for each step. backed out to the desktop, tested the screen level. went back to settings and :D twelve levels stepped in 16 point increments.

Rebooted and they're still there. Thanks again milaq that was the final step I needed to have it working for me.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ogonzuhnina:
This made it work on my set,

however, the brightness increases with sensor readings, but fails to dim when the sensor reads get lower (even if i blind the sensor-read is 10 but screen remains at 255; the buttons lighten though). After some times the screen dims to default dim, but when activated, goes back to 255.

Seams the only thing forcing refresh of the brightness level (to match programmed sensor levels) is to turn the device off and on (even without waiting for it to go to sleep).

Can anyone confirm that?

cheers
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ForgetfulGuru:
Did you play around with the [Allow light decrease] settings? Enable then set a value for hysteresis. Also if not already done set [window length] and [Sample intervals]
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ForgetfulGuru:
My New Custom Setting

Okay here are the setting that are working for my EU Model with Hyperdroid ROM and Dorimanax Kernel. Could not be arssed with all that typing again so here is a combined screengrab.

12 levels (not that you need that many 6 would probably cover it)

each level incrementing by 24 (till level 11 that steps by 12)

playing around with a desk lamp and a torch I can notice the screen brightness going up and down.

All good.:cool:
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ogonzuhnina:
This was the one, thanks.

The Polish translation seams to be messed up (and missleading).

Translating it back to English:

[Reaction delay: Allow for delaying reaction, to reduce flickering]

and a value to be set is

[Reduce flickering]

cheers
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ph03n!x:
Try matching the name of the library file with what is there for "ro.product.board=", or with the file that exists in the hw folder before you venture into this fix.

Or flash the CWM zip that I have linked to in the first post.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] bobjbain:
About 3 hours ago I'd basically done what your CWM does and copied and renamed the files 4 times.

All are 644, all owned by root.

Rebooted and no notifications at all. Only the charging LED.

Must be an ICS thing!
[HD2 Android NAND Development] iphuang:
Thank you ph03n!x. Your file fixed the problem. Good job.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ph03n!x:
@Milaq- more often than not, when the phone is unlocked the brightness level is jammed at max. I have to either lock and unlock it, or turn auto brightness off and back on (i do this, as i have added it to notification settings). Is this related to the lights library? Or can you think of a fix/ workaround?

Thanks again for giving is this fix. I'm able to fine tweak and configure brightness levels perfectly, except that when am in bed and wake my phone up, 100% brightness hits the eye :)

Swyped from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
[HD2 Android NAND Development] milaq:
weird, never happened to me.

the autobrightness settings should be declared in the device overlay.

have a look at the leo CM7 nightlies git here: https://github.com/cmhtcleo/android...rameworks/base/core/res/res/values/config.xml

what rom are you using? maybe yours is not perfectly configured in that manner.

maybe config_lightSensorWarmupTime needs to be set too.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] C0qRouge:
Hi! What are your sensor-readings? For me it seems that the lowest reading is 10 and the next one 160. It never goes between those 2 and never under 10 (also with covered sensor) :(
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ph03n!x:
I'm using CM7 Nightly released by Arif Ali. The version I use is dated 3rd March. Not sure how to set config_lightSensorWarmupTime- can you guide me to it please?

Swyped from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ph03n!x:
The lowest for me is 10 too - which is fine. But I have seen a value 80 often too.
[HD2 Android NAND Development] C0qRouge:
is there a way to fix this issue?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] milaq:
lol, thats the rom i am contributing to and the new liblights was originally coded for :P

we build the liblights from source there and the overlay configs are specifically tuned for it in mind. so you dont need to overwrite or flash any lights library.

thanks for the feedback, ill have a look into that issue :)

btw: what kernel are you using?
[HD2 Android NAND Development] ph03n!x:
I am using Dorimanx 3.2 (No 2WCR) now, but have used Tytung R14 (No 2WCR)/ ICS r1 too and noticed the same issues on both. I have not used Warrenb's or fhasovic's kernels after the fix was released, as I have some other issues with them.

Hi,

Does anyone know how can I get the battery percentage to show on my status bar instead of the little battery (or both) without having to install a custom rom. I've searched but couldn't find anything concrete.

Im on stock 2.3.5
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KayvinM:
You can try UOT Kitchen and make a battery with % (need root) or use an app like "Battery Indicator" from the market
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabrateur:
Try this thread.

It is for stock ROM XXKI3.

You don't have to install a custom ROM but you do need to have root and a kernel with CWM.

[LG Thrill 4G] Racing666:
I would have thought about it. I've had the Thrill for about a week now and I'm ready to throw it in the toilet. Might make the battery last a little bit longer. I haven't installed anything on it or set anything up, and I still have to charge it twice a day. I can quite literally watch the battery % drain.
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
I've noticed my battery lasts considerably longer than it did during the first week- week and a half that I owned the phone. It use to drain 30-40% just sitting overnight. Now it MIGHT lose 1-2% overnight.
[LG Thrill 4G] 00mred00:
Tweaks and underclocking....that is the key
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Underclocking did nothing for me. I gave up on that after a couple days of no improvement. The only things different on my phone from stock is that I removed all the att bloat and several LG services. I rethemed it, deodexed it and performed a zipalign. Oh and changed the io scheduler. A couple other little things here and there.

A HUGE thing for my battery life is keeping my wifi on at home. I get such a weak data signal inside my house the radio is constantly trying to find a better signal. This is a huge battery drain.
[XPERIA X8 General] fkathrada:
So here's the lowdown:

After a long time, I updated my PlayNow Arena app. It works, no issues. However, I don't usually use it, except for things like Creatouch, etc, that are free and somewhat useful.

Now, after about 4 months or so of not using the app, I went on it for some reason or another. It started, however, from the loading screen it went to an XML file, and just showed a bunch of code. I tried twice, same thing happened.

Then I decided to be smart. I uninstalled it thinking that I'd get the system app, and BAM!, I'd be able to use it, then reupdate it.

Long story short, the app's gone from my device, and Sony Ericsson customer support sucks.

So how exactly do I get this app back? Anyone have an apk or link I can use? It downloaded it through some web link for the last update....
[XPERIA X8 General] eagleeyetom:
Maybe it's the matter of permissions? Try to fix permissions in xRecovery or CWM.
[XPERIA X8 General] fkathrada:
I've not rooted my phone, as my warranty is still "apparently" valid. (I got ripped off, and in turn, will rip the sales guy a new one.) I guess I'll need to root it to get back the Arena?

Anyone have the apk?
[XPERIA X8 General] fkathrada:
Solution: Found!

I've found the solution:

Using a File Explorer, go into Sytem>apps, from the phone root. Find the playnow.apk, and install. It'll reinstall the old version, and from there you can update.

Playnow arena app on xperia x8?

A ROM I learned to love (on my Defy, no experience on the Galaxy S, but it will probably run even better on the Galaxy S) is Galnet MIUI: http://galnetmiui.co.uk/landing/download/

Is it possible to use SIP to get calls on the Sensation(GSM unbranded) ?

Same option is available in the Sensation, but it is limited to WiFi connection.

You can use Sipgate and any other VoIP provider also on 3G by downloading a SIP application. I use CSipSimple for Sipgate UK and others.
[HTC Sensation] Hrvoje:
All the Skype video calls I was making used to be outputting their sound over the phone speakers. Recently, however, this seems to have changed. The sound is now only outputted via the earpiece, and I do not seem to be able to find the cause of the change, nor how to change it back. There is no speaker toggle button. Makes the video calling fairly cumbersome, since I have to put on the headphones (or Bluetooth), and cannot have a couple of people take part in the call at my end. The recent upgrade (2.5) did not correct the problem. What is annoying is that it was working OK before. I am just not sure before what. Any ideas anybody? Android 2.3.4 (stock HTC/T-Mobile), Skype is most recent stock version.
[HTC Sensation] jigners:
try viber.
[HTC Sensation] picachux:
I just used this like 2hrs ago, Toggle the mic button. I thinks it's a red icon, I've had this problem before. If not then try clearing the data. Let's us know.
[HTC Sensation] Hrvoje:
Switching to another tool (viber) is not an option - it would take me less time to re-code Skype from scratch myself than to get my parents on a different program.

This is still an issue. The only way I am able to work around it is to quickly plug in my earphones and the unplug them. That seems to force skype to switch to the speaker away from the earpiece. I guess I'll have to deal with this until a future version takes care of it (hopefully).
