[HTC Desire S] jjdoctor:
Hi guys,

If you are tired of the Led Soft keys aching your eyes when you are in a dark room playing with you gadget watching a movie then here is a simple solution.

It might as well save Battery by turning off those softkeys led lights or dont want LED lights to be ON while watching movie or during the day..

So here it is... Simple script to turn led lights ON/OFF when u need it.

I have no doubts it will run on all roms

FOR ROOTED PHONES ONLY...

ITS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP FILE

here is a noob proof guide..

How to Install:

1) Download and install GScript Lite from Android Market. Its free

https://market.android.com/details?id=nl.rogro.GScriptLite&hl=en

2) Download the attached gscript.zip file and extract the two files buttonledON.sh & buttonledOFF.sh to SDCard/gscript (make "gscript" folder in root of sdcard if not present already)

3) Run Gscript Lite. Allow root permission .Click Menu >Add Script.

If u have placed the two script files in correct folder, they will appear. Open and save them both. (dont edit anything other than the Name..you can change it to LED ON/OFF... See screenshot)

4) Two icons of script will be there to let you turn on/off those led lights.

Run one to turn off led light, other to turn on back to normal. :)

Here is a screenshot

Rebooting phone will automatically disable this mod.. So u have to just run script again from Gscript Lite to disable led backlight of soft keys ..

You can exit or kill gscript after running the scripts.

Remember to hit THANKS if it helped

[HTC Desire S] jjdoctor:
So no body tried this one?...:rolleyes:
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
Nice! I would have used it on some ROMs when the backlight keys were always on!
[HTC Desire S] jjdoctor:
you can use it when in Dark room playing with yr gadget... :D...

the LEDs become annoying watching a video or movie in low lights...
[HTC Desire S] airk000:
Maybe useful to me ! Thx very much!

Sent from my HTC Desire S
[HTC Desire S] tele27:
For people who have no root and are s-on :

Download screen filter from market and use the app to turn on and off the soft keys light ;)
[HTC Desire S] Phlangles:
Thank you very much for this app, very useful! It works perfectly, however I only really want the LEDs off for certain apps, like the car mode or when I'm watching movies etc. It is possible to automate this? I have the app 'Tasker' which does allow you to automate the phone but I can't seem to work it out :(

And is there any way to stop the LEDs being OFF every time I turn the screen on?

Not sure how likely it is that you'll see this as the thread is quite old, but worth at try anyway.

Thanks again, great app!

EDIT: NVM got it working! Now just struggling to get the script to run in the background and not pop up every time I want the script to run!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] newestuser:
Hi everyone,

im thinking to get Huawei U8800 PRO,

and was wondering, is it reliable?

i was reading some user opinions on GSMarena and XDA, seems like 50/50, or you get faulty device or not.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Odinforce:
Well my friend i have one for a month and so far i'm very pleased, very fast, stable, recent chipset.

Overall very good phone for the money.

The cons is that there is no custom roms yet, it has the froyo, unlike the u8800 i doesn't have too many tweaks.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] NForce25:
...no custom roms yet
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Odinforce:
Thanks mate, already made my correction.

Looking forward to try those custom roms.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] newestuser:
Thanks! 1 customer seems doesnt have problems :)

hmmm maybe just wait a bit more and till it will be updated to 2.3 :)

p.s. custom roms arent in my intesterests, i just want stability with stock rom :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] NForce25:
Custom ROMs are more stable than stock in most cases
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] newestuser:
Im using SE phone, and still till this day i havent found any more stable rom than stock one 2.1 by SE :)

I have possability to get Samsung Galaxy Gio from same network provider for same price (wich is by specs is far away from Huawei ofc), but i dont know how PRO is reliable, from what i understand nonPro version is win or loose, quite big percentage to get a faulty phone.

I just dont want to pay for 2 years for a phone wich can stop working properly after 1 week or 1 month :)

So its a big deal for me to know as much as possible from user expieriences.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] valsam:
Doe's it have radio,or is that just a myth?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] NForce25:
Not a myth, it has fm radio
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] JohnDaKinky:
My brother have a Huawei Ideos X5 and its way too good for the money...Very quick and stable...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] shantam:
Dont buy this it has ****ty camera like ideos x5

Go for htc desire s instead of this

Way better camera real 720p hd no lags in videos good performance in low light conditions and fast performance 768mb ram which is good for multitasking

Plus htc support

You can find desire s in price of u8800 pro
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] NForce25:
U8800Pro is way cheaper than desire s. 512mb and 768mb ram dont make a big difference. Camera is worse, true. But is it worth the money?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
Wifi and Bluetooth is much better on the desire S as well. It's not just the RAM, the phone itself and it's components are higher quality.

If you afford a Desire S, don't even think about Huawei.

HTC actually has support, I've received 2 OTA updates last week...So they actually care about users...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] NForce25:
Actually...They're not. U8800Pro uses the same wifi chip as HTC devices
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
Actually, you're wrong...have a look at this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_on_chip

The chip-set is the same, but peripherals, ROM, RAM, EEPROM and external interfaces (USB, HDMI, WIFI, BT etc) are manufacturer designed/sourced components (in HTC case, they are higher quality).

And another thing, if your statement would be true all MSM 8255 based phones would be identical...so, NO!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] NForce25:
If you think that only processor is different between u8800 and u8800pro - you're wrong. They've changed something more. Wifi chip for example. That's why Pro has FM radio and non Pro doesn't. proof
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
whats the point of the conversation here?

@NForce25: FYI, katu2006 is now a happy HTC Incredible S owner..

since both of u seem to be satisfied with ur current smartphone, why bother to continue this argument?!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] NForce25:
This is no argument :) The point of the conversation is that people talk about U8800 cons while the topic is about U8800Pro, which has those cons fixed in factory (except the camera of course, I think that even my old HTC Magic took better pictures)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iamelton:
in that case u r probably a more appropriate person to provide comments as u r a pro owner judging from ur signature.. ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] NForce25:
Yeah, I have a Pro, and getting to know it's hardware well as I'm trying to port ROM's and stuff on it :) It has more differences from the original U8800 than someone could think of
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] katu2006:
I'm sorry for going a bit out of topic, but I just want to clarify something...

I never said that U8800 (based on MSM 7230) is the same as U8800 Pro (based on MSM 8255), they clearly have a different chipset/platforms and most likely better interface components (wifi, BT etc).

But don't think for a second that U8800 Pro is better than Desire S or any HTC phone on MSM8255. It's a big mistake to think that they are identical and Huawei did some magic trick and lowered the price...It's the rest of the components that make the difference in price (maybe HTC is exaggerating with the price, but some of it covered by REALLY good components)

If you look at this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)

I'll be tempted to think that U8800 Pro is as good as Hauwei X6 U9000 or Huawei Vision, just because they are based on MSM8255...but everyone knows that's not the case.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] NForce25:
No one's saying that U8800Pro is better than Desire S, it's its price that is way better. I agree that some of the components on HTC are better, but I disagree that it is the wifi/bt/fm stack which is better on htc, as you've said earlier.

The things that are not so good on U8800Pro:

1. The cam (most HTC's have better one)

2. The display (I don't like the backlight of my U8800Pro)

3. The back cover (some of HTC's have a better one, some not, though)

4. Stock headphones (peace of ****, comparing with HTC ones)

But these things are not critical (or not critically worse), so the price does them (U8800Pro and Desire S) equal in terms of price/quality. If you have extra cash, you could buy Desire S and be happy with it. If you want to save a bit (Desire S is 50% more expensive than U8800Pro in our country) , you can buy U8800Pro, and be quite less happy with the phone (not much!!), and happy with the things you've bought for saved money (i.e. hookers lol) :cool:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Odinforce:
If you manage to port a rom or even get some tweaks on it please share it.

Im sick of the stock look.

skroutz.gr/s/326914/HTC-Desire-S.html

skroutz.gr/s/389765/Huawei-Ideos-X5-U8800-Pro.html

why Desire S i better?

it has to be for double price

price in Greece.

over and out
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] caldo:
As I was an X5 owner before few months, and if the U8800 pro camera is the same as the U8800 (X5), I would'nt buy the pro... even if its price is very good.

I think Huawei should have an average quality camera, at least, nowdays, if they want to stay in the device's competition.

Hi,

I have officially become a SGS2 owner from today, having lost my dear HTC Desire, I decided that it was time for a change.

I have a Locked 3 Network SGS2 which I rooted successfully, but want to flash the latest 'official stock rom'...I had comeacross [ROM+Guide]Official i9100 Firmwares KG1/2/3/5/6/7, KH1/2/3/4, KI1/2/3/4/8 thread and was a bit confused to which is the latest; 'Intratech' states that the latest firmware is listed at the bottom which is 'DXKH2' which is '2.3.3' but beyond that list he states:

End of that list is: XWKI8 (Android 2.3.5)

And, there is some more firmwares, I'm not sure if he means end of the post #2 or end of that warning. Please can someone clarify this for me.

How can I get 2.3.5 (latest)?

Much Appreciated!
[Galaxy S II General] sileshnair:
KI8 is the latest release, but its for Nordic region.

2.3.5 has not been released for all regions.
[Galaxy S II General] Deeco7:
Thanks, but could you then tell me what is the latest version for my country UK?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
After KH2 the next release in the thread KI range has a locked bootloader .

#This means the USB jig no longer resets the custom rom counter to zero .

Custom rom counter goes up one everytime a custom rom or root rom is flashed as both void warranty .

Intratech has packed those later roms with the old bootloader therefore they are hybrids .

The latest official rom is via Kies firmware update for your phone .

As posted above latest official stock rom KH2 posted after that they are non official hacked roms .

KG5 is 2.3.4 in non hacked roms .

[Galaxy S II General] drspikes:
Your not backwards in coming forward. Be a little more patient in future before bumping, You are probably excited but being on the latest rom isn't suddenly going to make the phone morph into a stealth jet! There's not much point in sticking with official as for warentee repair, you will need to go back to three branded rom (probably)

you need: PDA: I9100XWKI4

XEU (Generic UK+Europe) : http://www.multiupload.com/ZZYM5ZAFA0

CPW (Carphone Warehouse UK): http://www.multiupload.com/00RKZQ4ZM3

I personally used the XEU one as it is the most generic.

Don't forget to follow one of the many flashing guides on the forum. I found once I had done the first factory reset I had to do a second one in order for it to pick up the new letter code (XEU).

Then, you can either update to XWKI4 through Kies and get a locked bootloader (but newer android version 2.3.4), plus the handset will still be updateable through Kies because it's all 'official' - or you can flash one from the above thread which has an unlocked bootloader. Or if you are feeling adventurous try one of the hacked 2.3.5.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] Deeco7:
That is not the case. I have have knowledge in ROMs and Kernals as such, I just bought a SGS2 but before I using it I wanted to debrand it and stay updated, so that's why I asked for the latest stock rom.

U can always use titanium backup. Its on the market for free and it backs up all your apps and data and then u download the app after a clean install and then u can restore them. But u have to be rooted

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gabrielshaste:
When restoring from titanium backup, does it restore installed apps?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
+1 for Titanium backup. Just make sure you only back up user apps and not user apps + system data. The system data from Froyo will not play nice on a GB rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Unfortunately, Titanium Backup is the only way. Just be sure to backup only user apps. When you restore, restore user apps and data.

Do not use a Froyo backup in CWM to advanced restore data, since that will mess up some important functions on GB.

Thanks, I'll try that... by the way, can you use a titanium backup pro license on 2 phones? No biggie, since I have a pro licence... otherwise I'll be getting another licence...

you can use it on two phones, if they are on the same google account.

whats the difference between unlocking bootloader and rooting? i just unlocked the bootloader but have not rooted my device will i be able to flash roms on to it or it must be rooted?
[HTC Sensation] tuner562:
Unlocked bootloader will allow you to have custom rooted roms and radio software on your phone. You can also stick with the factory rom if you wish and still root it via superuser.
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
All unlocking the bootloader does is allow you to have s-off (or, turn off the security write flag). This means you can write to the /system partition using many different methods.

Rooting allows you to use apps that require elevated privileges such as writing to the /system partition.
[HTC Sensation] ariel123:
so I can just go right ahead and flash a rom then right?
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
As long as you flashed cwm recovery first. (Something the s-off/rooting guide has in the howto).
