UPDATE: Light bleed will NOT be fixed by HTC

Hi everyone,

I sent my phone to HTC and showed them this website and this particular thread and the supervisor there said that it's not a warrantee problem.

Soooo, Don't send your phone in like I did or you'll wait for nothing.

Thanks HTC for nothing........

Try Screen Filter!

Screen filter from market works flawlessly on rooted or unrooted devices, only problem is you can't use it when trying to install applications from Amazons mobile market. Just pull down notification bar and deactivate while using Amazons market. Peace, V :cool:
[HTC Amaze 4G] jul644:
i also found that for some reason even on stock it killed my battery life
[HTC Amaze 4G] Snakecharmed:
I am having trouble with Step 10 of the instructions:

I get stuck when I attempt to zipalign. The main window shows no output aside from the main menu and I get this in the log file:

Does anyone have any input on this? I know nothing happened with the zipalign because my unsignedframework-res.apk remains at around 3MB instead of approximately 8MB.

Also, for the record, I am using Apk Manager 5.0. I don't believe that should be a factor here though.

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

In my experience, 0 will turn it off and any other value from 1 to 255 will turn it on at the same brightness level.
[HTC Amaze 4G] vvveith:
Not true.

I have been using screen filter since I got the phone in August. I average about twelve hours battery life with heavy use, or twenty four hours with light to normal use. Something else is killing your battery. Just a little heads up, set the light dimming feature to 100, slider all the way to the right and use the phones display brightness to set to a comfortable level, I keep mine set around a couple mm from the left side and use the dim widget included on the color control module from HTC. The one that has five switches, one for time out, brightness, wifi, sync and bluetooth. I set all email syncs to once every two hours during peak times and once every four during off times. FaceBook is set to update once a day unless I do it manually and all other programs as well. Always manually shut off mobile when using WiFi and also turn on Airplane mode in building that have over all bad reception to stop radio from searching. A few other common sense tweeks and you should see the same battery life as me. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
can I do the dimming mod through root explorer???
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
I think you can....got to Sys>Class>Leds>Button Brightness>....open Brightness with Text Editor and change it to "0"

Edit: Confirmed it works
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
does that dim or completely turn off ?

edit: tried it, saved it, restarted and the values went back to stock???
[HTC Amaze 4G] -FuRBz-:
^ it does work

however it wont stick after reboot.. at least it didn't with me
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
boo :D :D .
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
I think its convenient to have it come back on after a reboot. Just me I guess....if you don't want to keep editing through root explorer then use gscript...
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Yeah doesn't work via root explorer... It didn't stick after reboot
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyodee:
use init.d if your ROM supports it to run script at boot time

or an automator like tasker
[HTC Amaze 4G] jul644:
before it i had 15 hours each day and like you after installing it i got around 12 which is subjective and not the best but noticeable (i had slider at like 70 %)
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
haha. There is a fix for the camera flash bleed as well. I've done it and have absolutely NO flash bleed at all anymore and fantastic flash shots! The mod is in this Amaze forum somewhere. I have pictures of the mods and the before and after shots as well.
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
For those of you who are scared to death to push this file back to your phone or even try gscript, there is another way.

1. Unzip your custom ROM to a folder.

2. Go to system/framework and, just to be safe, rename framework-res.apk to something like framework-res.apx

3. Then you can just either copy a working modded framework-res.apk from someone here (or follow the steps up to zipaligning and renaming unsigned framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk) to the unzipped system/framework folder.

4. Re-zip the custom ROM.

5. Copy it to your device.

6. Re-flash the ROM. That's it!

You won't lose any of your apps or settings other than probably any custom wallpaper which you can easily add back. I'd still do a nandroid backup just to be safe though.

Here is my modded framework-res.apk in case someone wants to try this and skip the abb method. I set mine to 25 and it is very dim in low light now. I love it!

By the way, thank you so much jul644 for this tutorial. I've always been in the dark on how to use apk manager and you just explained it beautifully!

Oh, I'm on Energy 02.27.2012 if you need that information.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
thanks frodoboy, but mines still really bright, any thoughts? Im on Beast though

In root exp is still shows mine at 255
[HTC Amaze 4G] Snakecharmed:
Thanks for the additional tips, frodoboy. Are you saying that zipaligning isn't necessary? That's the step that was causing me problems with Apk Manager presumably due to something wrong with the filename or file path. I had serious doubts that my 3.5MB unsignedframework-res.apk file was correct for renaming and putting back into the ROM when the original file was 8MB.

I'm on Energy 2.3.2012. The main reason I'm sticking with it is because I like the smaller fonts in the text message history window. I was prepared to use the framework-res.apk that was posted in the main Energy thread, but I think I'd prefer a dim setting for the max brightness like 31 or 63 rather than have it completely off.
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
I'm working on implementing this mod in the ROM I'm releasing today. I've always been annoying by the high brightness setting of the LEDs as well... hate when they bleed onto the screen.
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
Hmm. Are you using NRG's stock kernel or Faux's kernel? If you are using Faux's, he has lowered the voltages to the buttons to help with the bleed issue and for better battery life. If you set the values too low with this mod, the lights will shut off completely. I went back to stock kernel and my setting of 25 works great. Low light and low bleed in darkness and completely off in sunlight.

Zip aligning is necessary. Did you make sure you followed step #8 exactly and delete "resourcs.arsc?" Then you zipalign, rename and push back to the phone. It worked fine for me.

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

Thanks for that NRG. I hate having to mod the ROMs to my liking when they come out but this will make it one less thing for me to have to do every time! :D

OH....I JUST REALIZED!!! Did you say "The ROM I'm releasing today???" Is this a new "tweak" of 3.0? Can't wait for that. Nothing on your Energy ROM thread yet but the day is young.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Snakecharmed:
I'm using the stock kernel. I did follow the instructions exactly as written, but I came to a realization (more like a *headdesk* moment) in the last half hour: I grew up on MS-DOS.

I read Script.bat and found what was causing the problem. I typed the zipalign command manually in Command Prompt and got it to work. Why I let a stupid batch file stop me is beyond my comprehension at this moment, but the appended filenames within :zipa of Script.bat for the Apk Manager 5.0 that I downloaded aren't compatible with Step 9 of the instructions in this thread.
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
What is interesting is that I just downloaded NRG's 3.10.2012 and decided to do my usual mods. I updated to APK Manager 5.0 and guess what? It wouldn't even get past 11 (Compile). I went back to trusty old APK Manager 4.9 and tried again. Worked like a charm through all the steps! I wonder what changed in 5.0 that causes this? Maybe it is in the new script.
[HTC Amaze 4G] faux123:
Yes, I have lowered the voltage value for my kernel. So if you hard-code the values via apk hack, it may be too low for my kernel. If someone can make this into a variable setting, then you can use that hack to adjust the value for both stock and my kernel.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Cobra281:
ugh, even while setting the button brightness to 50, there is still bleeding when the screen brightness is at 0! damn, that's a bright button LED. also, in the original post, step # 9. [Once done, input 22 in apk manager...] is incorrect, the option is 23 to choose a new project. just thought i'd mention it :cowboy:. and thanks, it worked easily!
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
That can only be done in the kernel. Maybe we should ask one of the kernel devs to look into it for us.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
I thought that faux had already lowered them
[HTC Amaze 4G] shuvarts:
stuck

Hey, based on what I read this mod is supposed to lower the brightness of the buttons which should reduce the bleed but still allow me to have the button light in the dark...

I am pretty sure I follow everything step by step: grab framework-res.apk, decompile, edit array.xml, delete resources in keep folder, compile, zipaligned, adb push into /system/framework... However, I got stuck at the boot animation logo (beats audio logo in my case since I used Energy stock rom). One strange thing that I noticed is that the new framework-res.apk that I got a much smaller framework-res.apk compared to my original framework-res.apk.... The size is only 4.5mb whereas the original one has close to 10mb. Any idea what I did wrong? :confused:

I also want to mention that I tried to decompile the new framework-res.apk (which is the unsignedframework-res.apk) that I got from the whole process and a lot of files are not there (like the whole /res folder which contain the arrays.xml isn't even there)... I don't think that's supposed to happen right? It should have almost all the original files and folders after I decompiled it again is what I thought... So, when I decompiled the new unsignedframework-res.apk to see what's inside, the only files that I can see are "assets" folder and "apktool.yml"

SOLVED: Apparently in my case, I need to edit the anims.xml too in order for the re-compiling to work... I always got error when re-compile the framework; but, finally after many different tries, I only need to edit the anims.xml. That was tricky since I didn't think that I need to edit anims.xml when it got nothing to do with what I want. lol

For future reference: You need to change

<anim name="htc_ime_decelerate_interpolator">@anim/zzz_htc_ime_decelerate_interpolator</anim>

to

<item type="anim" name="htc_ime_decelerate_interpolator">@anim/zzz_htc_ime_decelerate_interpolator</item>

That should solve the problem if anyone got the exact same problem.... Here's the link from where I found the solution:

2 free Market apps that really do the job:

MemoryBar Simple

- Small status bar icon displaying free memory at 1 second intervals with seemingly no adverse effect on resources.

FMR Memory Cleaner

- Wow, frees up memory like I have never seen. I was hovering around 100mb free, I used Fast Reboot Pro (up till now my go to memory free-up app) which freed up 70mb, which gave 170mb free, then tried FMR.. which resulted in 217mb free!:eek: Mind you, it did drop immediately to around 200, but the fact it frees up that much speaks for itself.

Seriously stellar apps.

Let me know how they work for you. Tips welcome. :D At least click "thanks".

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] stellarOne:
Fab

They both work great!

I had to do a double take. I can't believe how much memory FMR shakes out.

I especially like MemoryBar! I though I had a good memory widget, but MemoryBar takes up very little real estate, and on the status bar at that. If you remove the background on it, it looks even better. Plus being able to have 1 second intervals with seemingly no impact on resources, makes it perfect for being able to know what is causing memory spikes and make sure my memory management apps actually do what they claim.

Thanks a tonne. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] unh1nged:
No problem. Ya i like deselecting the background on MemoryBar too. The background is kinda useless as it makes it harder to read anyways.

The HDD is picked up as an SD card

This theoretically means that any apps that can be stored on an SD card could be stored on the HDD. I'm sure you would see a bit of slow down though going from solid state memory to disc drive, but I guess that would only matter in games.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrya:
Alright, coming from WM way back to an iPaq, as soon as I got an android I got task killers, especially as I watched my memory go down to like 40 megs.

After reading I am deciding to remove any (excluding ZDBox) task killers that I have, and see if Android really does manage memory well.

I have to admit that when I did notice my launcher running slow, I would kill tasks and it would pick back up. Anyways....

I have one question - I am running Juice Defender, that doesn't kill tasks, just manages wifi, and the radio, right? Its ok to keep that going?

I am running a rooted TB with BAMF SoaB with GoLauncher as my home.

Any input on this would be appreciated!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yumbrad:
JuiceDefender does no task killing, just deals w/networking as you said. The only reason a task kller would be necessary is a misbehaved app that wakes up often and burns processor cycles - Android reclaims memory when needed (a built in task killer, if you will). If you have a less-than-popular app, it might have such a problem, but popular apps get enough scrutiny that they should not be burning cycles and should not need to be killed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vvis:
That helps me, thx.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J0ker 82:
I completely agree for juice defender. It helps on "saving your battery", not on managing app on background.

at the first time it maybe cause a bootloop(stuck),so pull out battery and boot again,so better not run it on boot,if its working(no bootloop) then you can set it to run on boot so you have permanent setup,and you can unsupercharger if you dont like it,it doesnt touch your clock speed,it just playing with ram and out of memory things,dont worry bout setting it,it will suggest for you..
