i did not do any wipe , i just follow ur instruction and it just hang at samsung logo.

just curios what is different for fix birghtness patch between 1st post(2.XX MB and 2rd post(17.XX MB which i just flash to my s3)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maximoz:
First post uses the vrtheme system which only changes the affected file whereas second post, the old version uses the whole framework apk file even though we only change some xml file.

@ mattiadj

Hey your mod is awesome. i ve just one problem with latest "Download bestScreen brightness Fix" and Omega v11.

Before flashing your mod i ve installed "Extended Power Menu" from Omega-Kitchen. It's an extended power menu where i can directly click on "Reboot, Recovery and Download". After flashing your mod i have no Extended Power Menu and the statusbar is lost.

I also tried your mod with my girlfriends S3 with CheckRom v4. There is another Extended Power Menu with Hotboot etc. ... and your mod works perfectly!!!

Maybe you can help me. Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maximoz:
Hmmm weird indeed. Will have to take a look at this extended power menu mod to see why it causes your problem. Anywhere to download that?

Also you able to use the extended power menu from your gf s3 to try?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maximoz:
Now that jkay is here, hopefully it will make things go easier :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] scary_master:
Both S3 are next to me.

Here you can download Omega v11 ExtendedPowerMenu:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] mattiadj:
Guys for Omega 11 i think i have to make a specific version not based on VrTheme System since if i flash my mod...it seems not have any effect...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] floyd0815:
JKay has an SGSIII?! GREAT!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maximoz:
Hey mattia, doesn't omega 11 has a brightness fix?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] behappy:
C'mon, don't leave US out, please!

How can we get this for the US variants??? T-mo version would be an incredible start :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Al3xI98O:
Very Good Fix! This evening I try it on foxhound rom!

Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 con Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mattiadj:
For people who have problems or the flash or not noticed any change please flash the mod with

ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4 - "v1.5" (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1684535)

It's essential!! I don't know why but with latest touch often the process of flashing is bad!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tommy2601:
mattiadj, hì mate good to see you hear doing some dev work, I remember you from dhd forum having tough time changing your signal icon on smartdroid Rom:D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maximoz:
Hmm i just tried and it works ... :confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maximoz:
It seems omega's extended power menu adds some lines into a few xmls in the res folder of the framework-res.apk

So the only way is to decompile omega's extended power menu and make the changes from there.

Have attached the vr theme bestScreen zip for omega's 11 rom with extended power menu installed here.

I have tried it and it works. Make sure you don't wipe when installing it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] scary_master:
yeah...that s it! brilliant work! So what shall i write to the Dev of Omega, that his next versions v12, v13, etc will be compatible with this mod?

thanks!!!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maximoz:
Just need to ask him to see Mattiadj's second post on the code snippet for him to incorporate into his array.xml file before compiling the framework. And to give credit to Mattiadj when he does that :)

Jkay is here so maybe most Rom will just use this mod and it would make things easier hopefully.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] KULASSE:
thank you notes the values ​​of its perfect.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mattiadj:
Correct version added to op.

using BLG8 stock + 15 swithchers mod with theme + battary mod + CRT off mod + dailer with call rec mod
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maximoz:
Which rom and what mod or theme have you installed?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] borisblack:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] maximoz:
Are you able to attach your framework-res.apk file here and I'll take a look and see if I can fix it for you.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] borisblack:
sure, it is on my dropbox
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maximoz:
Your attached framework-res.apk file already has the brightness fix.

The other attachment on the full date mod has error when decompiling so i am not sure if it will cause any issue with your rom.

Please do a backup and try it out my modded zip for your date mod.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] borisblack:
perfect so far, thanks for helping!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maximoz:
No problem ... glad it works :)

could be a bit higher, cos after SGNote SGS3 sometimes is hard to see what is on the screen at sun. so i also asked to make mod with BestScreenSaver
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maximoz:
Oh I made the bestScreen version :(

Won't be at my computer for a while now :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] borisblack:
u made exactly what i asked :) i wrote u pm check it when will have a time

Which version will give me max brightness in sunlight, while lowest brightness in dark room?

I'm on Tmobile running ouY_RedruM FreeGS3 R5 ROM with Faux 008 kernel.

I believe RedruM included Real Brightness Fix in the ROM, but that version doesn't give me max brightness in sunlight.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mattiadj:
Try bestScreenSaver

Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 con Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jdpdata:
I can just flash that over my current ROM?

Just want to make sure this works with US variant SGH-T999 on Tmobile.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mattiadj:
I think yes of course backup first!

Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 con Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] jdpdata:
Ok, flashed bestScreenSaver, but still not getting max brightness in sunlight.

If I unchecked Auto Brightness under Display, I can then achieve max brightness.

Oh well, I run with it for few days see how I like it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mattiadj:
The max level is available only in bestScreen but not the minimum. It starts from mid level

Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 con Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maximoz:
Please check your pm :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mauricewal:
Bestscreensaver does not go to minimum in low light.

When I sit in dark room and uncheck auto brightness the screen goes darker is the slider is all the way to left.

I need a setting that goes from darkest in low light to highest in sun, but in mid light a little bit darker then stock?

But I guess that's not available? :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mattiadj:
You can try gnote but the stock version is the most near to your necessity

Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 con Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mauricewal:
Thanks, think I'll stay to stock!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hin83:
I found a bug on the Omega 11 bestscreen version. After i installed this fix, the phone begins to use alot of ram, i only had 100-150MB left from 790MB, after that i decided to flash the brightness fix from Omega files and now my ram is normal again 250-300MB left from 790MB
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maximoz:
I don't use the omega rom now so I can't test if this is happening. Any omega rom users can chip in on this issue?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mattiadj:
Which version have you flashed? The specific one for omega?

However its no possible at all since this mod have anything related with ram management. Try to flash again this mod then reboot and report

Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 con Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hin83:
Yes. I used the specific one for omega 11. I have also tried too clear cache and dalvik and reflash this twice, but same high ram usage. So now iam back too stock/default and my ram is normal again (200-250MB free) instead of 90-150MB with this mod. I think the problem is because this mod have higher value on brightness.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mattiadj:
I never head about ram usage of hight brightness.... Strange!

Inviato dal mio Transformer TF101 con Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Android Development] maximoz:
Am currently using checkrom v4 with brightScreen version. Have about 200mb ram free.

So far we have no one reporting about this issue so going to be hard to track.

Possibly some combination of app(s) with the brightness fix causing this?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mmmajor:
Can someone tell me if they know if this fix will work for the US variant of the GS3?..specifically the Sprint version. I would just try it but I don't want to brick my phone ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] _neutron_:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] mattiadj:
People who wants lower levels please flash gnote or bestScreenSaver version or remain stock.

I have made this mod to adjust the levels with more logical method. But I prefer mid levels and not lower levels

That's work great. but the battery bad with the GN Mod so i delete that. hope it will fix soon. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] FadeFx:
I would love to see a way one could modify the values to his likings, so does that XML file need to be compiled to place it in the framework or is this done by the vrtheme binary?

[Galaxy S III Android Development] mattiadj:
No battery drain at all with Gnote version. Can you try the version 2 or the gnote version?

I have bad news about vtheme implementation.

Simply for now it's no possibile to since it necessary to decompile than recompile the file.

I'll write a simple tutorial to customize yourself the values but will be not really simply to do for noob

Have you decompile the file? If you simply extract the files you can't access to value folder
