Does anyone else miss the Samsung innovation allowing brightness control at any time by sliding across the notification bar?

Any chance this could be ported from Sammy SGS II ICS roms?

Agreed. No idea why they took it out.

You should try out 'Display Brightness' on the market - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.DisplayBrightness&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsInJ1YmJlcmJpZ3BlcHBlci5EaXNwbGF5QnJpZ2h0bmVzcyJd

This recreates the Galaxy S2 slider but with many more options (can be coloured or invisible, even place it wherever you want like top/bottom/side of the screen), a really great app.

Olywa
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlorange:
Oh AWESOME!! Great find and thanks for sharing man. Took some tweaking to get the slider width right but now it's a damn good substitute.

So for everyone interested:

Set to a top-fill slider bar.

Set width to around 1/3 of the status bar and check the "overlay status bar" box.

Now check the "auto hide box"

To work well you have to make the bar wide enough to be easily used but not so wide that it activates every time you slide your notification bar down.

Thanks again for sharing :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Astrofrigo:
Even better than brightness rocker, put it on the top of the screen and overlay notification bar and you have pretty much the same function as SGS2 :)

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olywa123:
Thanks for replying on 'Display Brightness' guys, glad you found it to be as usefull as I have, I tried a LOT of others before I found this one and for me it's definitely the best out there :)

I have mine set so it's at the top like the S2 but always visible so I can see if I've left it on full brightness, thought I'd share a screen in case anyone else is interested in this...

Olywa
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlorange:
I've tweaked mine some more. I'm using a shorter fatter bar so sliding down for notifications doesn't trigger it by mistake and offset to bring it out from the edge a bit. Still auto hide and completely away from interfering with any other touch gesture.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olywa123:
Cool - thanks again for sharing :)

Yeah the only downside with this is catching it when sliding down the notification bar, I've just got myself into the habbit of sliding down from the top right (instead of the center) which seems to work fine :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlorange:
No no you can get around this. Check out the setting in my screenshot, you can shrink the bar to the right or left only:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stea1thmode:
I have my bar bottom left, no accidental toggles so far :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olywa123:
Nah I know :good: but I like the placement I have so willing to change my habbits to keep it looking like that ;)

I like that it also pops up in landscape mode on things like the default camera and video player, such a good little app.

this is one awesome app, thanks for the share
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olywa123:
Not sure what you mean here - I have installed apps with this running fine, no reason why it wouldn't?

This thing is an overlay it's not actually sitting 'in' your notification bar or impacting anything - just overlaying the screen.

Olywa

Not that I have noticed - it doesn't show up in the default battery stats and I could not find anything of concern in 'better battery stats' either while running it.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Summer Son:
Hi All,

Could you please point me on the file that has settings for auto brightness? I want to increase the range, the stock one is almost unnoticeable.

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] GT35pro:
Xperia S does not have auto brightness in both Gingerbread or ICS.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] marko68:
What you are saying? Sure that Xperia S have auto brightness ! You probably are not able to set it :laugh:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] electrash:
It has auto brightness xD

Try to buy some glasses...

But without custom rom or app you cannot control it.

Cyanogen mod or app ( widgetsoid) can control it very easy.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Summer Son:
It has auto brightness. You can go to the Service menu, Sensors section and there you will find Light sensor, there you will see its current values, as far as I remember they are 0..12 or so, but that doesn't really matter, I want to find where the dependency between Light sensor value and brightness is coded.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] electrash:
You should ask some rom dveloper for some info :-/

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] peksalvo:
It has auto brightness, but only the smarts can see :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Summer Son:
I found this useful post.

In ICS we have it in /system/etc/als_curve and there we have 4 folders: 0, 1, 2 and 3 with limits and parameters. I assume these are 4 zones of brightness (0-25% on folder 3, 25-50% in 2, 50-75% in 1 and 75-100% in 0).

We have to change the parameters, as in the post I referred, but personally I didnt understand almost anything, so we need to try... If someone will be trying too, let me know your results!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zeefung:
I have found an easy way to set auto brightness and it works beautifully:

Download and install quick settings.

When you are in quick settings, tap "customize", tap the small tool icon next to brightness, and you will be asked whether to enable light sensor.

Once enabled, you will be able to use auto brightness through quick settings app.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Hayden18:
Why couldn't they just add the option into the settings like everyone else??? Is it really that hard?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] electrash:
That is their style.

Go and send them mail to change it.

Sent from my LT26i
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Summer Son:
It is enabled by default even without 3rd-party apps. The reason of all this is to make its range bigger, more noticeable.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zeefung:
I also really don't understand why Sony cannot put this option just in the brightness settings.... I have had a long time thought that the SXS doesn't have auto brightness at all but dunno that its in fact hidden somewhere which can be called out easily by a 3rd party app !
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lparasca:
It does have auto brightness, it just works a little different from what we're used to so far. You can find the brightness control in Settings->Display->Brightness (at least that's where you find it in Gingerbread). Now, the thing that creates so much confusion, is that this control shouldn't be called Brightness, but Visibility. What the phone does (and imo this is really clever), is that you move the slider to adjust the visibility of the screen best suited for your eyes and then the phone will automatically adjust the amount of light the LEDs glow using an intrinsic curve so that the same visibility is provided outdoors and indoors. You can test this. Set the slider halfway and then go outside, in the sun, and cover and uncover the light sensor a few times. You will see that the screen is dimmed and brightened up while you do that as the phone tries to maintain it's visibility to the setpoint you chose by moving the slider. Simple and clever, huh? What some may argue, is that the brightness variation is not aggressive enough, and they may have a point. Personally, I don't need to move the slider more than 20%, as the screen is perfectly visible even on a sunny day (of course, that is unless the sun directly reflects in the screen, but I found this happens only if you hold your phone on purpose and it is not a comfortable position).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] vladare:
Hello,

In my lt26w there is no Visibility submenu. But it looks like the application "quick settings" has make a trick.

I am interested in flashing cleanrom 3.1 but i was reading through the comments and I noticed people saying, too bad i'm on 1.85, and comments of the sort, it seems as if having 1.85 pre-unlock is a curse?

I have never done anything to this phone, it came 1.85 from the store.

I'm not new to this stuff, I'm just over cautious with my HOX because I'm out of warranty and I've never unlocked or rooted an HTC phone.

I apologize if this has already been said elsewhere.

HELLO!!!! WELCOME!!!!

Hi there , yes it's been answered already , and well if you did some searching.. well BAM, there it would have been... Yes you can unlock 1.85 , check the dev thread for the way:) It even says 1.85 root .. how bout that? Haha, remember to search , because there are people out there whom may be worse than I ...

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LidoShuffle:
Both times I tried a 7.x based rom, once I re-connected my google account, only some of my accounts came back. I'm guessing that somehow the contacts that were loaded onto my phone originally were loaded as "phone only" rather than as google contacts. Is there a way to get CM7.20 to recover them? I've made a few Titanium backups and haven't wiped my SD card other than that one path that gets wiped by clockwork when you wipe before flashing. Thanks.

Mod Edit : not development Moved to Q & A .Pls post in appropriate thread
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoshotjr2006:
sorry, this is the wrong section for you to post this.

the best course of action is to repost in general or q/a, or ask a mod to move this thread there.

but until someone moves this thread there, were your contacts synced with your google account? because if you just flashed a rom without manually (or googally for lack of a better term) backing them up, sorry guy, they are gone

in the future, when you add contacts, the list will pop up that says sync with google account or phone only (unsynced). choose sync to google account, or find a 3rd party app on the market and back them up that way.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LidoShuffle:
Yeah, they were synched with my google account, but I'm guessing that when my phone was initially loaded with contacts from my previous phone, they were loaded as "non-google" contacts so those didn't synch. If they weren't stored on the SD card, I realize that they're gone, but maybe they end up on the card. I asked a mod to move this to Q/A. Hopefully someone knows this answer. I still have my old phone (Razr), so I guess I could import the contacts from that again, but I'm sure I'll lose a lot of info that was updated and add in a lot of stuff I'd deleted. Hopefully the contacts are on my Hero's sd card somewhere in a retrievable format.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sai5o4:
Before you flashed CM7.2, did you make a nandroid of your original setup? If you did then just nandroid back to that and make sure to resync those contacts that are phone-only to your google account. And then re-flash whichever CM7 rom you plan on using.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LidoShuffle:
Yes, but I'd rather not go through all that. Can I make a new nandroid of my current setup and then go back to a previous nandroid? Hopefully there's just a way to read the backed up contact list so I can import that or something. It's not a ton of numbers, but I don't want to lose them all. Thanks.

hello sir,

first of all sorry for my bad english as i dont knew too much and m not professionnal...

I have a ZTE n721 android 2.2.2 froyo with

Baseband :- ZTE-U N721_H3_Z11_E_TSECD213B

KERNEL :- 2.6.32.9-perfkernel@zte #2698-

i want to know how can i root my phone phone and please tell me a suitable custom recovery for it..... and a custom rom as i am bored with my rom or if i can upgrade it android 2.3 gingerbread..... also send me download link....... pls rply fast as it is very urgent..

Thank U
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ruscan.calin:
unfortunately there are no custom ROMs for your phone

all you can do is to root remove/add your apps and make a nandroid backup

this will be your "custom rom" I understand your frustration

you can try to root it by SuperOneClick

activate USB debugging on phone before better read thread above
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rjrishab:
thanks i have done rooting but how can i install a custom recovery for it..?

pls tell sir ... rply fast
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ruscan.calin:
did you use SuperOneClick or other tool to root?

believe me there is no CWM or custom ROM for your phone

I understand your frustration :o I was the same situation a few months ago when I buyed an Alcatel phone similar with yours in specs..but no custom ROM there..what to do ..so I made a custom ROM here

but believe me this is not easy at all because ZTE/ Alcatel are not well-known so no tools to prepare custom ROMs for these phones !

I will tell you the most important thing

never flash ROMs not made for your phone

because these ROMs have a kernel that can affect/destroy your phone !
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rjrishab:
that means sir i cant install any recovery so i can went to recovery .... pls tell if there is if only if one recovery for my model is there... ?? pls tell pls tell sir..

Thnku
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ruscan.calin:
but you should have a recovery mode on your phone shutdown phone then press power +vol down and wait even 1 min if nothing on screen touch it or press a button (if this is not working remove battery put it back and start again but with power button+ volume up )

this is recovery mode but not CWM recovery and I think you do not need CWM because this is used to flash custom ROMs so what to do with CWM if you do not have a custom ROM to flash it by CWM ?

I do not want to tell you how to flash a CMW by fastboot because you will make a mistake and flash a CWM that is not made for your phone ...

believe me CWM is not useful you don't have a custom ROM to flash it by CWM and I do not know one !
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rjrishab:
sir i have tried both the method for going into recovery but in the first method of pressing vol down+ power button makes my phone stick on boot logo but does not go into recovery mode...... and the next method when i press vol up+ power button i start getting vibrated continuesly until battery is taken out so sir pls tell me any method of installing recovery as i want to reflash its stock rom sir pls tell fast sir pls..

Thank You
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rjrishab:
Sir and pls tell me about the method of "how to flash a CMW by fastboot"

and sir i promise i will not flash a cwm i just want to reinstall its stock rom so sir pls tell or rply me fast pls sir its very urgent..

Thank You
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ruscan.calin:
you have menu/volup/voldown/power buttons check some combinations to enter fastboot when in fastboot mode your screen is blank/black no logo there... only sensors buttons are active!

i.e.

Turn off the phone. Then press Power shortly. Then press and hold Vol down Menu and Power . This should enter fastboot mode. Then connect your phone to computer and follow the rest of instructions.

I can't tell you more because I do not have this phone ...

when entering fastboot mode connect phone to pc and open cmd.exe in adb.exe folder usually \android-sdk\platform-tools\ also do not foreget to copy in this folder your recovery.img

then enter from cmd.exe console this command

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

done.. you have recovery installed find a key-combination to enter recovery now you can flash but where is recovery and stock rom ?

maybe you have a sync/update software to check for an update from manufacturer site ?!

maybe you have an installation cd or user guide ? check it!

to open cmd.exe start/run/cmd.exe also to open cmd.exe in adb folder easy way is to use Total Commander and navigate in adb folder then in Commands menu you have an option Open command prompt window

for adb.exe ...you need to install Android SDK

PS do not tell me sir you are a polite man..

a good day to you Sir ! :)

do not make the mistake to flash a rom or recovery not made for your phone !
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rjrishab:
Ok I will not say you sir but can i say you my friend..?

And last thing I want to know is how to make a nandroid backup ..???

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ruscan.calin:

huawei ascend

huawei u8220/u8230

lge esteem

micromax a70

Pls tell which should be suitable for me to select

Thank You
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ruscan.calin:
you really want to do something with your phone but unfortunately none is good for your phone do not try !

to have CWM recovery you need sources for your phone to compile them

also a custom ROM can be made only by a person to have this phone because every feature/change needs to be checked on phone without a phone is very hard to do something

when you buy a phone be carefully read about available resources for it !

but I think Froyo is not bad at all !

also check some combinations to enter recovery usually phones come with a default recovery but you have to find how to enter it !

also you should post your question here
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] krysshna:
