[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
*Sighs*, I'll do it before anyone else does since it might not be as nice, WRONG FORUM DUDE, lol.

IMO it's a great upgrade from the sensation, but as I always say, everything is down to personal preference, ROM wise, we have some great devs that produce great roms, I've yet to hear of any complaints that we couldn't resolve or of any bricks (well people panic and call it a brick when it's not), that we couldn't fix.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ebatr8:
Development is slower, for the amaze but that aside its a better phone I enjoy the amaze more then I did my sensation, especially the camera and added storage because I have lots of music.
[HTC Amaze 4G] monkor:
Yeah sorry about the wrong forum, didn't know. But thanks for some of the input!
[HTC Amaze 4G] ebatr8:
No worries if a mod needs to move it they will bottom line if u don't need to flash a new Rom everyday then your good to go with the amaze as long as you enjoy sense, the Roms we have are great and the devs are working for sense 4.0 and CM9
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
As soon as we have the complete source from HTC the ROMS will rapidly expand and currently it's booming, just that it'll be way more easier on devs to get more roms out for us.
[HTC Amaze 4G] RussianBear:
Amaze is what sensation should've been from the get-go. I went from sensation to amaze as well. No regrets here. Picked up one s and messed with it for a day, before deciding to re-sell it and stay with amaze :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] ickedmel:
No.
[HTC Amaze 4G] PeartFan40:
Instead of creating this thread (in the wrong section btw), you could have just checked out the Sensation develolpment thread to check dev support for this device.

15 people could tell you its a great phone, and to get it, but it really comes down to what you like. YouTube is a great resource for answers to questions like this. Lisa, over at MobileTechReview does a great job at revieeing. Its wirth a looky loo.

I'm closing this thread only because there is already tons of information available to you. Soend a little time researching. The information you're looking for is right at your fingertips. ;) Not to mention all question related threads belong in Q&A. ;)

Thread Closed.

hi all..how to take a logcat when the phone stuck in white screen....
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
use fastboot. Just out of curiosity, why you want a logcat for?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hdorius:
I am trying to port a rom.. But i just only gave me to the white screen.. So want to know what problem with it..am i doing right.. I dont have any experience on porting rom
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
My another app.

Features:

-brightness indicator, overlaid on all other windows, it alway on top all other windows.

-percent indicator

-adjustable position, size, colors and other attributes

-autobrightness mode set by long click to indicator (more than 3-5 seconds).

This is not a widget! It is always enable in all app(games)!

PS. Unfortunately my developer account was blocked by Google Play and all my Apps was removed from Play market.

I will be appreciated to your help:

1. Go to link https://support.google.com/googleplay/contactflow . Choose Applications and game for Adroid and Application missing in Play market

2. Ask supports to unban my developer account and return all apps to play market.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] manchucka:
It's terrific. I use it in the top-left corner.
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
terrific? Does not work? Or what?
[Android Apps and Games] explorer-10:
He/she means that it's working great.
[Android Apps and Games] kravguy:
Been using this for awhile now, i think it was like 1.1. This is the best brightness adjuster for Android, period. Something that shouldve been included by Google by default.

I have absolutely no issues with it. At first I would accidentally trigger it when pulling down notifications but once I changed it to be top left, i just pull down from the center or right side and no longer have issues.

Great great app. Surprised you've kept it free. Definitely would be worth paying for.
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
You can donate me. There is a button in the settings of Display Brightness
[Android Apps and Games] kravguy:
I will do.

Also, just noticed a bug with the latest release. When it starts up, it's causing auto brightness to be turned on.

Turn autob off. Set db to auto start, restart phone, autob is on. Turn autob off, launch db, autob is on.

Running on 4.0.3
[Android Apps and Games] kravguy:
?

Can you post a copy of the previous version? 2.7 I believe.
[Android Apps and Games] Hornettt:
What happend to your app? I can't find it in the playstore anymore.
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
Google blocked my account and removed all my apps from Play market.

All appeals was useless. Google is confident in its infallibility
[Android Apps and Games] Uh_Andy:
This was my favorite screen dimmer. I have the apk saved but I hate that Google has removed it from the store. What happened?
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
My developer site was hacked and used to show porno banner.

I removed all links from all applications to that site. But Google blocked my 4 applications as violation Sexually Explicit Content

I don't understand why they blocked only 4 apps, but did not blocket other 15.

And after appeals google blocked my developer account.

I will be appreciated to your help:

1. Go to link https://support.google.com/googleplay/contactflow . Choose Applications and game for Adroid and Application missing in Play market

2. Ask supports to unban my developer account and return all apps to play market.
[Android Apps and Games] Jopiri:
Thank you

Thank you for posting your app here. It's one of my my favorite apps ever!
[Android Apps and Games] i4get75:
Is there an updated version? This app is great!
[Android Apps and Games] JeffDenver:
This was one of my favorite apps. I just got a Pixel 2 and looked for this and was depressed that I couldn't find it. There's nothing else like it on the market and it is so damn useful.
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
I uploaded the latest version of DisplayBrightness Pro app to first post of topic.
[Android Apps and Games] Micha0807:
Thanks a lot for the upload. It´s the best brightness App
[Android Apps and Games] JeffDenver:
I tried doing this. They were unsympathetic, and would give me no information. They would not tell me why you were banned either.

There is nothing else on the Play store that does what your app did. I'm glad you posted this so I can still access it and recommend it to other people.
[Android Apps and Games] jascolli:
Exactly what I was looking for. Great app! Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] SanctimoniousApe:
I already had v5.1 installed - is the one you attached to the first post different? I tried all the donation links in the app I already have, but they all seem to rely on your domain - which seems to have been taken over by a spammer. If you don't fix that somehow, then nobody can donate and I strongly doubt Google will restore your apps if they link to that domain.

A pity, as I've realized how much I use your app (since I couldn't find it in Google Play anymore) and you certainly deserve a donation for creating something so useful. It's absolutely one of the very first things I install on every new Android device I get. Thank you for being so generous by uploading your app here for free.

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 PM ----------

Google must have gotten tired of this and changed things. Your instructions no longer match what appears on their site. I managed to get to an offer of a phone call from them in ten minutes, but haven't done that yet. Might try it later, but I'd be surprised if it helped much.
[Android Apps and Games] tursoke:
Darn shame, this app is so good that it really should be part of android as stock, bought the pro years ago and it's easily the best usability purchase I've made for android.

Are you still developing this? I'm having a problem with the ver5.1 after my One+ 3T updated to Oreo today, that if I place the bar to top center, it draws under the statusbar making it impossible to use, super annoying Oreo feature. Is there any way around this, or do I just have to learn to use the bar on one of the sides?

And I too found out that one can't find the "app missing from market" link anymore :(
[Android Apps and Games] k36madman:
hi developer. congratulation for creating this app. thanks so much..

what is your play store link? did you cerate a new account? did you update this app ?
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
Google denies create a new account by same person
[Android Apps and Games] aximili:
All these years I've been wondering why such a useful app disappeared all of a sudden! This is the best brightness app in the world!

(Lux is 2nd best because it can remember your preferences depending on the phone's light sensor, but as long as you can't stick the ambient light sensor on your eye, it can't beat DisplayBrightness because it doesn't have the super useful floating controller!)

Now how can I nag Google to unblock your account? :)

And are you still improving DisplayBrightness, RubberBigPepper?
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
Unfortunately my developer account was blocked by Google Play and all my Apps was removed from Play market.

I will be appreciated to your help:

1. Go to link https://support.google.com/googleplay/contactflow . Choose Applications and game for Adroid and Application missing in Play market

Yes. Now I am rewriting app to newest Google API
[Android Apps and Games] aximili:
Unfortunately it seems to have changed. I thought you knew, as SanctimoniousApe said:

That is awesome!

May I suggest an option to lock the floating slider? (eg. on the right), so it can stay even when the screen rotates :)
[Android Apps and Games] aximili:
Btw I have written an Automagic Flow for my own auto-brightness, that uses the awesome Display Brightness.

So you could have an auto-brightness that goes beyond zero, and override it anytime with a simple touch (thanks to DisplayBrightness's floating slider).

I attached it here in case anyone is interested. But it is not easily configurable, I've been pulling my hair to come up with the formula.

So far it seems ok on my OnePlus 6 (where screen_brightness seems to be 12-1023, where on my Galaxy S6 I think it was 3-255)
[Android Apps and Games] k36madman:
thanks for this awesome application.

Is there any update?
[Android Apps and Games] soh3l:
Definitely its awesome and essential app for all androiders.

Thanks a lot to the great dev RubberBigPepper.
[Android Apps and Games] k36madman:
you are right, but we need new version for the new version of android :D:D
[Android Apps and Games] aximili:
Hi RubberBigPepper, is there any update? I'm sure everyone is waiting for Android 8+ support :)

Display Brightness 5.1 still works on my Android 8.1 except that on some games the slider would disappear (not on top anymore)

And if anyone knows any way to help unblock RubberBigPepper's google account I would really like to support it
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
I use my apps on S7 Edge and Android 8.0

But I never seen that Slider disappeared from screen.

So, could you list a games where slider goes off?

PS. sorry for my bad English
[Android Apps and Games] aximili:
Oh I thought it was an Android 8 issue. Don't worry if you're not aware of it, there are not that many apps that hide the slider :)

But just FYI, this is one of them https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gravity.poring.and&hl=en_AU, and I am using One Plus 6 and Android 8.1.
[Android Apps and Games] RubberBigPepper:
Added a screenshot of Idle Poring.

There are two my topmost apps: Display brightness and clock.
[Android Apps and Games] aximili:
Could it be because of the notch on my OnePlus 6?

If I slide down the notif and slide it back up, the slider would appear for a split second (right after the notif disappears to the top) before it also slides up following the notif bar and disappears to the top..
[Android Apps and Games] cod:
Hello, I bought the pro version to access all its features. It's the best screen brightness app out there. One thing though. The background colour always stays on even I (hide taskbar indicator is set to on). All the other colours disappear, but background taskbar indicator remains visible. I have a screenshot to show.
[Android Apps and Games] Hans de Groot:
Hi. Thank you for the display brightness app.

I have been migrating it since 2012 via titanium backup for years now. And somehow it always worked fine.

Now I have an android 9 phone and I restored it and wow this super old app still works on this nasty new android version that does not want you to do anything with your phone anymore :(

But I noticed that sometimes I wake up the phone and want to change brigghtness it does not respond. The bar is there but I just have to wait a minute or so and suddenly it works again. It is showing in the notications area and the slider/bar is onscreen but it is just lik ethe nackend is sleepeing or some in visible layer is ontop of the bar.

Any fix for that?

Wow so google banned you for some reason. bummer. that explains why I cannot find the app for a long time.
[Android Apps and Games] everevil:
Really love this legendary app... Hope if you have time to update it. In my new pie device somehow it make the screen glitches with random black screen... The only way remove the glitches I need to disable hw overlay in developer options. Anyway thank you for all this years for this wonderful app
[Android Apps and Games] k36madman:
Hi dear developer, is there any good news about new version of this app ? :)
[Android Apps and Games] aximili:
It is 2023 and I'm on Android 13. RubberBigPepper's Display Brightness is still the #1 app I would install!

Still can't believe Google blocked such an awesome dev who developed an irreplaceable essential app that Android is missing.

This really awesome app is still working well on my Pixel 6 Pro, except some little issues:

- Screen is still a little too bright at night even with -100 negative brightness lol

- The top area where the notch is (where the status bar is supposed to be) is not darkened

Please let me know if anyone knows any workaround.
[Android Apps and Games] nicky-xda:
i'm still using this app on A13 / crDroid 9.5. It seems to be working ok.

Because it seems to be discontinued i'd like to go sure: Are there any disadvantages or maybe issues i do not see when using it on A13?
[Android Apps and Games] Paulthewineguy:
Started using this on my nexus 5 almost a decade ago, then used it on the note 9 for many years. Somehow it worked through the different iterations of android. Just switched to the s23 with a14 and it doesn't install anymore. Desperately looking for something similar.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenitec:
Hello all

I ordered a new µSD card on Amazon (28,63€) for my Desire HD, a Transcend Class 10 32 Gb (TS32GUSDHC10), and will receive it tomorrow.

I have freshly reinstalled the CoreDroid 9.4 rom + Link2SD and a lot of apps, my actual µSD card is the 8Gb Samsung provided with the DesireHD.

My Samsung 8Gb µSD card is partitionned like that:

|--FAT32~6,4Gb--|--EXT3(or 4?!)~1Gb--|--Swap-~128Mb--|

What is the correct method to switch to the new µSD card without loosing anything ?

Thanks!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slavon-93:
I think two ways are possible. The first - you get your card, put it into a cardreader, make partitions as they were, for example 1GB ext4, swap 128mb and the rest is FAT32. And just copy your stuff from one card to another. (The only problem here is that you need linux to access your ext4 partition). Also you can try to use something like Acronis Disk Director Suite. It can copy partitions (in your case i think it's better to make a backup of partitions and just restore them to 32GB card) and after restoring just change the size to something bigger. Also Titanium Backup can be a way out. Though i don't know how it works with Link2SD. Just don't delete anything from 8GB and if one way doesn't work, you'll be able to try another.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciberbeb:
I did this recently, I however put the new card and start with a fresh rom install.

As Slavon-93, you can partition your card first and then copy files from one card to another. To read your ext3/ext4 partition, you can use ext2fsd, ext2read or Linux Reader. I personaly used ext2fsd for a long time without any issue, for both reading/writing.

Make a backup before, image of your partition or whatever and test ;)

(Hi neighbour ! :))
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordstein:
hello

i used this way to change between a 16 gb sdcard to 32 gb sdcard, using android revolution hd 7.3 without lost apps or data

0. create a nand backup with clockworkmod recovery or 4ext recovery

1. burn a live cd or use a usb to run ubuntu(the latest version)

2.COPY your data from your fat32 and ext3(4) to the desktop pc (also works on laptop :D:D) in separate folders do not mix fat32 and ext3 data.

3.insert your 32 gb sdcard to the pc and open the program GPARTED

4.format your 32gb in this way (obviously chage the amount of your first partition to 28-30 gb may vary depending on the real size of the 32gb sdcard create your second and third partition like the 8 gb sdcard)

(in gparted program you can look if your second partition is ext3 or ext4 use the correct, the same in 8gb sdcard )

|--FAT32~xx,xGb--|--EXT3(4)~1Gb--|--Swap-~128Mb--|

5.after you format your 32 gb sdcard you NEED TO COPY your data from your pc to your 32 gb sdcard copy the

6.you can easily copy your fat32 data to your sd card but when yo want copy ext3 data you need make the following steps(linux write protects the ext3(4) partitions )

-open the TERMINAL program on ubuntu

-write in terminal:sudo nautilus

-when open a window like file explorer search for mounted ext3 partition on sdcard an do left click

-open properties then permissions and grant root acces and write rights for all the users (otherwise the ext3 partition will only be in read mode)

7.after you copy all the data to your sd card(the fat32 data to your fat32 partition an your ext3 data to your ext3 partition thi will be ready for insert in your android phone

remember NO ERASE your data for your 8gb sdcard until you are safe that this method worked, you can look in link2sd the information of your sd cards partitions and open apks that you are safe that are linked on sdcard

good luck

sorry for my english:(:(:(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenitec:
Thanks for all advices!

As expected, I received the 32Gb µSD card today :)

My DHD is now fully working with the new µSD card! That was easy.

I proceeded like that:

On the DHD: Full backup the old 8Gb µSD card! (I used ROM Manager and CWM Recovery)

With an external card reader and PC with Ubuntu: copy both the fat32 and the ext3/4 partition from the old 8Gb µSD card into separate folders of course (for example /home/documents/sddata and /home/documents/sdext)

On the PC: launch gparted as root and create 1 fat32 partition ~29,6Gb + 1 ext4 partition ~1Gb on the new 32Gb µSD card

On the PC: copy the files from the PC to the new µSD into their respective partitions

Boot the DHD and launch Link2SD to check if everything is fine :D

Salut voisin !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grad061980:
I'm going to suggest you check out the design 4g / hero s section in the forums of sdx-developers.com & 2fastroms.com (2fast's site is down atm, but most files you need are in his download section for the hero s). There isn't an official sub section for the phone here at xda & its hard to find support. 2fast has a cwm recovery, custom kernels, & roms that works great with the design 4g (I'll pm links as soon as the site is back up). Sdx-developers gears towards more roms & mods. You will find a section for rooting your design at sdx here http://forum.sdx-developers.com/index.php?topic=19080.0 Sorry for not answering your question & just refering you to other sites, but I think you will find you solution & more support from the sites I posted than here at xda.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jorke550:
Thanks, it seems as that actually was the page that the other post was redirecting me to, so I guess I'll have to wait for that; I actually found that the problem might be that the Recovery.img that I'm using does not work on Evo Design/ Hero S phones. I found a different image on a post in here that got extracted from a Foreign forum, I'll try that after class and then see how everything goes. I would still love to get a link to a forum that has an "official" root for it though.

Thanks a lot :p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grad061980:
This is the correct recovery (clockworkmod) for the design 4g. Just rename it to Ph44IMG & place it on your sd card. Boot to hboot & let the phone find it & select to install. Remove or rename file from you sd card before you try to boot into your os. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24065431/Design_PH44IMG.zip

Is that one for Sprint?

I'm in Indonesia and had tried recovery for Boost one and had GSM problem, no signal at all.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jrtoastyman:
Hey all, I don't know that this is necessarily a phone-specific question, but the first time it's come up is with this phone, so wanted to post it here just in case.

I'm trying to use Tasker to randomize my wallpapers using this method. I'm having a devil of a time identifying the path to locate the various wallpapers. They are all in a folder sitting in the top level of my SD card called "Wallpapers."

Astro displays the path as "mnt/sdcard/ext_sd/Wallpapers" but that doesn't work. I've tried other variations on that theme, too, and none of them will work, either.

What am I missing? Can anyone help a dude out?

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fachadick:
Did you try "sdcard/ext_sd/Wallpapers" without the mnt?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mathman85:
This is what I was thinking.

Also, I feel like I've seen it referred to as sdcard2 in ADB on some devices... so try sdcard2/Wallpapers.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] azrickster:
Also, I believe when you add the display action there is a search icon in the top right corner of the popup that brings up the gallery and you can select from there directly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mathman85:
I completely forgot about this. lol That's how I always define paths in Tasker... just navigate to it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jrtoastyman:
You and me both, that worked like a champ. If anyone is curious, by the way, the path is "ext_sd/Wallpapers."

Thanks for the input, everyone!
