[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
the OP should really mention which operating system (OS) is being used on the device...because the HD2 can run many OSes (with most HD2 users having moved on to android or WP7 on their devices) and the steps to disable automatic brightness vary from OS to OS.

to answer the original question...

the ambient light sensor is primarily (exclusively?) used to control the brightness (backlight level) of the screen.

for android:

go to settings->display->brightness and uncheck the "automatic brightness" checkbox

for windows mobile 6.5 (can't give you EXACT instructions because it has been too long since i used the stock windows mobile 6.5):

go to the settings tab on the homescreen (assuming you are using a ROM with the Sense homescreen). look around there or in the sub menus...look for a brightness slider. i remember a checkbox near there that will disable automatic brightness control.

Besides CyanogenMod is there anyone that is porting ICS over yet?
[Droid X General] nhugh406:
Look at miui by ace over on rootzwiki. Running it now. Super smooth, and awesome battery.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
The latest MIUI build uses the Ice Cream Sandwich framework.

CVPCS stated on his twitter that he will begin porting Ice Cream Sandwich for the Droid X.
[Droid X General] thescreensavers:
I tried MIUI but my phone never could achieve deep sleep on the ICS test build or latest official. The apps that the battery Stats said are apps I need and these apps behave normally on CM7, so w/e, I wanted to give MIUI a try but battery life was horrible b/c of deep sleep issues.
[Droid X General] mcp770:
There is a deep sleep patch in the ICS miui op. No excuses now :)
[Droid X General] Tim-H:
If I wanted an iPhone I'd buy one. Looking for stock ics.
[Droid X General] mskks64:
ditto, I want to beable have the stock experience of ICS
[Droid X General] mcp770:
Lol, we all want to see ICS on the X. As for the iphone comment you geniuses know that you can use any launcher you want and make it exactly like you have it now but with all the customization of miui.... of course you knew that.
[Droid X General] Tim-H:
I did know that, yes. Not new to loading ROMs. FWIW the miui isn't really ics either.
[Droid X General] mcp770:
No the ICS test build has a percentage of 4.0 files added into the framework. The look is simply a theme like any other. No visual or ui changes by way of ICS were included.

It will be nice if we could someday get full ics... Maybe cyanogen team will get it figured soon. I will say miui runs a whole lot better with the bit Scotland did fit into the gb framework. I don't even carry a charger to work anymore.
[Droid X General] mskks64:
They're working on it and said give them 2 months
[Droid X General] Jays2Kings:
They also said the nightly versions will start in 2-3 weeks after given the code, the nighties are starting too look like they are preparing for ICS.

Because one signature isn't enough

[Droid X General] mskks64:
sweet! hopefully they can get everything working soon!
[Droid X General] 360Razir:
Looking forward to ICS on the DX as well...hopefully there will be enough support for the necessary drivers to make it fully functional.
[Droid X General] Jubakuba:
Just FYI...

I used to be a HUGE CM supporter.

Still am, and am actually ON CM currently...but I flash between that an MIUI constantly.

I'll quickly vouch for MIUI here.

I had avoided it for my entire android experience. Didn't want to touch that crappy iPhone Kangerang!

I flashed it out of curiosity a few months ago...

And have been happily sitting on it as my daily driver (a lot of the time).

It's themes are gorgeous...and even simpler to flash that CM7's TMobile theme engine themes.

The lockscreens? Endless. And again, gorgeous. Super cool customization here.

ICS rip-offs. Blur rip-offs. iPhone rip-offs (blegh!).

The dialer is very blur-like...something that blur does right.

You type (T9-like) a person's name and they pop up in the menu for a quick call.

Menu+Down Volume = Screenshot

Menu+Volume Up = Temporary Full Brightness (Ever been in a sunny area and NEEDED this to see?).

The typical "pull-up" menus from android turn into drop-down menus.

The call-answer function is, again, beautiful. And allows you to quickly ignore and send an auto-text stating that you're busy.

Endless Boot-animations...again, in the theme section.

System sounds were recently added to MIUI themes...

With a touch of a button, you can change your lockscreen sound...keyboard sounds...selection sounds...instantly.

MIUI, is classy. And a very nice ROM.

Try it. If you were like me, you'll be happy you took the plunge.

*As a note, I do NOT like the MIUI launcher...

A custom one quickly fixes that.

As far as AOSP...

What do you like about it?

I mean, I don't dislike it.

But you can flash the gallery onto MIUI.

And the AOSP messenger is nothing special (I mean, it doesn't have features that others don't).

Dialer?

Again, the "blur" feature here is VERY nice.

Contacts?

These look pretty AOSP on MIUI...

And, again, the "ICS MIUI" builds that are currently out are not only not truly ICS...but aren't even official.

MIUI's Facebook page actually posted a bunch of screens this morning of what they're working on for the official release (with UI enhancements, as one user here suggested he wanted).

New Dialer was shown...along with the new app manager (ICS of their own) feature.

Don't just believe the hype like I did...

MIUI is actually pretty goddamn sweet.
[Droid X General] lithiasalesjs:
I agree Miui is awesome. I'm using the Razor which I got for .01 till the Nexus is released. Then giving this to my wife. But the new ice cream from Google looks amazing. Just wait till we get into that and start chopping it up. It will be wicked.
[Droid X General] argentmacleod:
good one!

I flashed miui onto my DX lets just say it was too busy for me.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
A pre-alpha ICS port is available over at Rootzwiki.
[Droid X General] bobcaruso:
Too busy?

Why you looking for ICS then?
[Droid X General] mskks64:
here's a link to the rom he was referring to:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10573-rompre-alpha-shadowics-presenting-ics-for-the-dx-based-on-cm9/
[Droid X General] Jays2Kings:
There's a new ICS rom for Droid X. Everything including hardware acceleration works, except the radio, camera, and gps. I'm on it now and it can easily be a daily rom if there was a working radio.

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11854-rom-encounterics-x-1214-beta-1/
[Droid X General] nigerman:
There's another beta-2 now with functional radio! Still from the link at Rootz! Enjoy!
[Droid X General] BeADroid:
Just flashed this rom, totally awesome. Runs just like my buddys GNex. IT is still a little buggy, however the Dev is releasing a build 3 soon, which should fix most of the issues. Super fast.:D:D
[Droid X General] RandomPooka:
Can anyone actually say what's improved in ICS over Gingerbread? Not just how it looks, but what will it benefit us on the DX to upgrade to this version of the OS apart from compatibility with new Market apps as they are written (And I don't see the Market being full of apps that will only run on ICS)

So far, from what I've seen of EncounterICS, the changes are all cosmetic and in the way the settings are organized. No actual report of what any performance modifications are between GB and ICS.

Personally, I can't stand the new Settings menu system. It condescends to people who actually WANT the poweruser options. The GB Settings menu is far superior, with things organized in a (mostly) intuitive fashion.

Even that can be overlooked if there are documented benefits to the OS change and not just user comments like "This ROM flies!!", "b3st ROM evar!!" and "Super snappy". Tell me what makes it better than GB and I'll be interested. Until then, it's just another iteration of Windows Vista Syndrome: a bug filled half finished project.

I applaud those who are working their butts off on this, and it's GREAT that people are trying to get this working. It's the end user mad rush to run an OS that we don't even know how or why it benefits us that kills me. Upgrading just to upgrade is not always the best path.

That said, I'm probably going to flash Encounter-3 again to mess with it :)
[Droid X General] gregoryx:
Mostly a lurker here... but thought I'd pipe in to reflect on ICS: I have the Nexus now after the X for a year (with a few different ROMs on it). I didn't care for the changes in ICS at first - soft buttons, changes in menu locations, stuff like that; but I've come to like some of the little stuff, like the running-apps button.

Loading ICS on an X (noting everything but camera working, basically), the biggest differences I see are the smoother transitions and the prettier menus. (Again, only seeming "pretty" to me after having become accustomed to them on the Nexus.)

I don't use the stock launcher, so that change doesn't do much for me. If I were using the stock launcher, it'd be reason enough to change. It doesn't re-load or lag at all when I used it.

Pretty much all the cool stuff in ICS can be done (better, typically) with some add-on or tweak to GB; but the aggregate of all those cool things (like settings on the pull-down-bar, for example) make for slow-downs and memory usage / dumping issues that you don't get in ICS (at least from said cool things).

If I had to summarize the story with ICS, it would be "smoother and prettier" - even on Droid X, let alone on Nexus.
[Droid X General] iamq:
I finally broke down a couple weeks ago and rooted my DX. I was not going to hold out for ICS. After doing some research I decided on Liberty for my first test. So far I really enjoy the nice and smooth stability.

Since then I have gotten ICS pushed out to my Xoom. Now it's not bad, nothing over the top at this early stage of evaluation. I figured I'd look to see if there is any further ICS roms out there worth a flash.

So far it seems more worth my while to stick with a stable GB rom over the coming months. I appreciate the feedback from others on their ICS developments. Everyone seems to want to get the latest and maybe greatest, I just think it's addictive to flash and test rom's!
[Droid X General] RandomPooka:
I'm hearing on several forums about the upsides of ICS, though I'm thinking I shall wait it out for camera support.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Once camera is working, CM9 will be a true beast.
[Droid X General] twisted_58:
EncounterICS = Awesome

I flashed EncounterICS beta 3 the other day and other than the camera and voice inputs not working it is the smoothest running rom I have ever had on my DX. The battery life is great and the new features of ICS make me never want to flash back to anything else. If the short broken items list isn't a big deal for you, this rom makes for a great daily driver. Not a single issue yet!:D
[Droid X General] Vettesfan:
I just flashed it the other day and I am having horrible battery life. But besides that it is an excellent from that really only needs camera to be *fully* functional.
[Droid X General] msucoleman:
Well I want to switch from what I got. I have flashed MIUI ICS 2.2.5a twice now and I really like the rom. But, my battery life just isn't up to par with my rooted .605 or Vortex on .605.

I would switch back in a heartbeat if I could get the battery issue figured out.

I mean, it seem like it will hardly charge while plugged into usb. It will but very, very slowly. Once plugged into the wall or my car plug it will charge right up????

I ran it down to like 30% here at work and all I have is usb charger and it just kept either loosing charge or it would only go up 1%.. Really weird and I have never had that happen.

I have the ICS rom and thinking about trying out. I can live without the camera as long as it runs good and battery is stable.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
CyanogenMod 9 beta is now available for the Droid X.
[Droid X General] msucoleman:
I've been using Encounter ICS all weekend and really like it. Been running smooth and battery life has been good. If only the camera worked.
[Droid X General] sickopsycho:
yes it is. This is a MAJOR improvement over EncounterICS- voice input works, it has incorporated the newest CM9 improvements (new settings, CM9 custom stuff, etc.) and maybe the best part... active development. The camera still isn't working and because the drivers needed to make it work are closed source it may be a while (if ever) before it's working. Supposedly the devs are close to a fix for the droid2 and if that happens it may be possible to port it over to the X- don't quote me on it, it's just what I've read. This ROM is fine for a daily driver, though, if you don't mind being without a camera. If you still want to try it and can't live without the camera load it up with Boot Manager. They say it won't work but I'm running it now. It is fine as long as you first are running on a 2nd init rom, install your 2nd init rom of choice INTO AN SD SLOT in boot manager (MIUI, CM7, whatever) and load CM9 (ICS) AS THE PHONE ROM. It will work, trust me. Anyway- it's definately worth checking out. If you liked EncounterICS you will love this. =) OK, well apparently I haven't posted enough to post a link here. You can find the CM9 thread at droidforums (dot) net (fwslash) forum (fwslash) droid-x-roms (fwslash) 199030-cyanogenmod-9-beta (dot) html

or google "13th Angel" (developer) and cyanogenmod 9 beta droidx
[Droid X General] twisted_58:
I have been watching that build every day. Just waititng for a few more of the issues to be ironed out before i flash it. Good news is that the camera is close to functioning. really the only part about it that doesn't is the ability to actually take pictures. Otherwise viewfinder/camera modes/zoom/etc is fuctioning. Angel over at rootzwiki was going to put it in his CM9 rom but it was causing problems so he removed it till the dev working on the camera gets a little further.

[LG Optimus 3D] smackdownn:
just installed 2.3 and damn...the phone is soo fast its like flying...have many apps installed still anything i open just takes fraction of seconds,and is it just me or the kinetic scrolling looks super smooth now from what ive seen in the music player..The gallery is super fast and the new dolby sound is amazing!! The new 3d converter is faster than before, the camera opens faster than before and the video quality has improved a lot, the black bars in the camera are gone now so we can properly see the full screen while taking photos, feels like native 3d has improved and the conversion of 2d to 3d videos has also improved..Havent got the chance to test the battery yet coz i just installed the rom..

Why is there no video call in google talk? still we are limited to the back cam in applications?? isnt gingerbread supposed to take advantage of front cam in applications?

First boot will be fast 'cause with the Restore method the cache is already built.

DOWNLOAD LINK - http://www.multiupload.com/UFQTDBDZS6
[LG Optimus 3D] KurdX:
The cache partition should be created separately by every phone.

Also, you should create a .zip that could be flashed by CWM, not just a backup.

Keep up your work! :)
[LG Optimus 3D] Cero92:
Are you sure? What may be the problem? Should i remove the already-cached cache?

[LG Optimus 3D] MadCobbler:
No the system will still be ext3, its the rest of the files that will be ext4. There is still no way of converting back to ext3 from ext4 and all roms will be ext3 so you dont need to worry about having to convert back...
[LG Optimus 3D] SUPREMOHF:
i want the ext4 is the only thing that is on o3d now..

what a pity..
[LG Optimus 3D] MadCobbler:
Well until there is a back to ext3 converter, the system will always be ext3
[LG Optimus 3D] Cero92:
Right, just like the AcuraTeam one :D

How does the phone with Win Mobile 6 re-download already read mail (POP3 is set to leave it on the server):

eg accidentally delete an e-mail and had to get him. The only option is to delete the entire account, including all e-mail messages and re-establish a new account. Set the data and download the e-mails again which is pretty awkward.

[Acer Iconia A500] uli68:
the Iconia tablet (stock rom 3.2) has a most troubling issue: no (or no smooth) video playback of HD video files, mostly H.264 encoded mkv and mp4 files. Acer and Nvidia claim the device can run 720p and even 1080p in h264 base profile but the bitter reality is that even 90% of 720p video files don't play smoothy due to lack of proper hardware acceleration. this is really a huge disappointment as even most of today's discount phones can play 720p video and i got me a dual core device with a HD screen and a GPU from a dedicated graphics expert company but have to stick to SD video. :mad:

i found a statement in the Nvidia developer forum saying that Nvidia is working on this problem with some software partners which indicates that there might be a software solution to this sometime soon:

http://forums.developer.nvidia.com/...6/is-tegra-2-support-neon-intsruction-set-/p1

my question: is a software solution realistic or maybe just a waste of time? personally i doubt it, especially since the successor, Tegra 3, again includes NEON.

but maybe a custom rom like Thor could add enough horsepower to the device to enable at least smooth software decoding? anyone using this rom already noticed a performance gain?

i am looking forward to your comments.

Just install MX Video Player. Plays everything, perfectly smoothly.
[Acer Iconia A500] uli68:
you think i would investigate in hardware related stuff and post here if there was a player that could handle all HD video? MX player clearly does not, nor does any other player (dice, mobo, rock, just to name a few of the better ones) handle high profile H.264 video on Tegra 2 devices. so 90% of the stuff available online is not working, means they wont play at all or have massive framerate and sound issues. go and check out the latest movie trailers available in 1080p mp4 or download an x.264 encoded mkv file of your favourite tv show and you can see for yourself.

if you insist on your statement, then please put up a video source so i can verify. i would really love to learn that you are right and i have just a broken device ;-)
[Acer Iconia A500] :
Well if you're trying to play 1080p video on a device that only has a native resolution of 1280 x 800 as this statement indicates, then the joke is on you sir. :rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] uli68:
guys, please read my post carefully or even better inform yourself and stop posting such unhelpful comments.

it's Acer and Nvidea who claim that Tegra 2 can play and output 1080p video (base profile h264) through HDMI, not me. i've just fallen for their marketing, trying to play some of my favourite 720p tv shows on my so called "HD device"...

also, i don't get your point about the resolution. are you trying to say that a full HD display is mandatory in order to enjoy a 1080p video? or that its content will look better if video resolution would match the Iconia display resolution? sorry sir, i really think you are the funny guy here.
[Acer Iconia A500] :
OK I guess I'll just have to write you off as a n00btard if you think that playing a 1080p video on a 1280 x 800 screen will benefit you in any way, shape, or form roflol :rolleyes:
