I have use the search button to see how i can lower screen brightness on galaxy note.

i found everywhere mentioning screen filter, it is not i don't like screen filter, but when i take screenshot it will be tinted gray.

so i decide to go to a more elegant way like what atrix 4g user did.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1245332

i tried with my note, i cant find sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lm3532, i decided to check folder with the nearest name, but i can't find it.

so i decided to download linux, mind you i have no idea how to use linux.

i downloaded samsung ics opensource update 4, inside i can't find leds-lm3532.c,leds-lm3532.h,board-mot-lights.c.

so futhur dig found leds-lm3530c, the file structure is different with leds-lm3532.c, but i think it works the same.

any good suggestion from experts?

edit1 050820121203:

I decided to check what AdjBrightness do.

it is modifying the following files

/sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness

/sys/class/leds/amber/blink

/sys/class/leds/amber/brightness

/sys/class/leds/green/blink

/sys/class/leds/green/brightness

all return errors in note.

further investigation leads to Rootdim:

/sys/class/leds/leds-sec/trigger

/sys/class/leds/leds-sec/brightness

/sys/class/leds/leds-sec/mmc1::/trigger

/sys/class/leds/leds-sec/mmc1::/brightness

/sys/class/leds/leds-sec/mmc2::/trigger

/sys/class/leds/leds-sec/mmc2::/brightness

here all the triggers return error.

next thing i check /sys/class/

i see backlight/panel in it.

i also see lcd, leds and lightsensor.

have no idea, keep digging.

Found s6*aa*.c files inside driver folder.

There will be some info about 5.3inch screen.

Deeper search found that it only suplort 24 stages of brightness

From 0,1 to 30 is 0

Conclusion minimum brightness for galaxy note is 1(more than 30)

Keep digging.

100820121808:

s3cfb_s6e39a0.c contain brightness level from 1 to 24.

100820121815:

AMS529HA01 is samsung 5.3 inch galaxy note panel

s3cfb_s6e8aa0 -- the one we are using.

the following files also related to the above file.

s3cfb_s6e63m0

s6d6aa1

the whole thing means samsung have tried other lcd before hd super amoled 5.3 inch?

keep digging for the brightness
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrew0811:
150820121820:

End of research, the brightness for amoled devices only have 24 levels.

lower than that you will need to adjust contrast for better battery consumption.

if you use filter it wont decrease battery consumption, and it will affect your screenshot images clarity.

So, what's the verdict? Are we stuck with "too bright in the dark" screens on our Note's?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pboesboes:
For that purpose a screen filter works just fine for me.

Frankly it's not doing it for me, it looks like I'm looking through a grey plastic bag.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikulbhatiya:
So what is conclusion bro?

We can't use brightness below the SYSTEM-MINIMUM?

I also want more battery by reducing brightness to below 10.

AND yes you did well.

Good research.

That's not entirely correct. Their rom allows you to choose the action for long press back and long press recent.

He wasn't asking about that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Pneuma1985:
Ok then sorry i misunderstood what he was asking!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] il Duce:
you can easily remap the half-press camera (focus) button to search. Cam still works, but half press does g-search.

in usr/keylayout/8960.kl

change "FOCUS" to "SEARCH"

save and reboot - done.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikshepard:
Your best quick and easy option, is to just install Nova Launcher from the market, then go under Nova Settings --> Gestures and Buttons --> Long-Press Menu --> select whatever you want to open when you do this. I know that this setting stuck even when I was using another launcher (Apex Launcher), so perhaps it will stick when using Rosie Launcher (stock launcher) as well. Otherwise, you can stick with Nova as it works pretty well :)

Otherwise, a different option is that it can also be assigned in the custom tweaks if you flash the Viper4G rom

Hope one of these options help,

First, what does perflock do? Second, why can it not be turned off like on the DInc? These might be dumb questions, but I haven't seen anyone else ask or really go into detail. Seems pretty important that a workaround is found
[HTC Rezound] superchilpil:
Well because you guys are lacking source code for ics perflock can not be disabled

Once you have source you will be golden
[HTC Rezound] haliwa04:
Thanks for the answer, but what is perflock exactly? I've googled, but no really good answer
[HTC Rezound] PhantasmRezound:
http://www.setcpu.com/documentation.html#disabling_perflock

Perflock attempts to maintain the default clock speed settings of the kernel. Programs such as SetCPU attempt to override that. Presumably the technique has varying success on newer kernels, depending on HTC's implementation. I know min/max values on ICS were still unstable for some that were trying the overclocked stock kernel. The values were in a tug-of-war between SetCPU and Perflock, causing jumps to the max value in the clock speed.

Custom kernels can be built without perflock; need kernel source first to make those for the most part.
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
This is probably a dumb question but why is source so important to kernels? Can't it be decompiled and in turn wouldn't that allow you to see the code? I'm trying to wrap my head around it. I've never asked why I just assumed that wouldn't be possible. Now I'm wanting to know why and if there isn't q way to circumvent needing source

sent from my rezound running AOKP
[HTC Rezound] superchilpil:
From what I know its a one way thing, you build it but you can't unbuild it

Correct me if I'm wrong

There's a way to overclock but those are dirty kernels and not too popular
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
I'm in the same boat I don't think it can be done but I'm trying to learn what prevents it from being reverse engineered

sent from my rezound running AOKP
[HTC Rezound] haliwa04:
That's I'm talkin about! Discussion, explanations, all of it.
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
Some people have been using apps like setcpu to play a bit. I think you can change the i/o with it. Also, it seems at some point (check enable profiles) the 2nd core is turned on. You can also underclock and it doesn't seem to drive perflock crazy like it did before. I can see a direct correlation between benchmark and my set freq. Hopefully, it won't be too long before we get some custom kernels; then the fun begins. :D:D AND maybe we get 'quick charge'. That's what I miss the most from my Dinc. :D:D
[HTC Rezound] isolatedvirus:
The way compiling works is it takes code, such as C++, Python and other programming languages, and converts them into binary.

Binary is what the hardware speaks, as cpu's, gpu's (etc..) dont understand programming languages. (BTW this is a very simplistic outlining of compiling, because more goes into it, such as hardware specific optimizations and so on)

So lets say you have a binary file. That file contains instructions for the CPU to perform (CPU Instruction Set). Those instructions are for example: Read Data, Move Data, Perform Subtraction/Addition/Multiplication etc..

These instuctions do not translate back into code very well, because there is a multitude of ways in a language to accomplish the same task. So going from a compiled binary to source code via reverse engineering tools like decompilers just doesnt work. Take this for example:

The binary instruction set for a file makes "Hello World" display on screen.

Here are the immediate problems you will encounter: What language was the source written in? Because if the correct language decompiler is used, bits and pieces of code can be seen, but sometimes its not even enough to give a hint of whats going on.

Lets say for the simplicity of the example its written in Powershell, or a similar scripting language...

I could display "Hello World" simply by using an echo command.

I could be calling individual variables in the echo such as "echo $h $w"

Hello World could be whats being displayed, AFTER a function successfully completes (if 2+2 = 4 then echo hello world)

So just from those three (There are plenty more ways to do this) you can see why decompiling and reverse engineering isnt an option. Its just a better decision to wait, rather than try to rebuild the wheel.

I have a working ICS from on my captivate (not sure which I can send screenshots) with built in google music lock screen controls. Problem is that while it shows the album art, it replaces my wallpaper with plain black and it looks really terrible. I'm wondering if anyone knows how to disable these lock screen controls. Thanks

Dear all,

According to the instructions on the following url which indicates that answer NO on step 2. As a result, is that custom ics rom will be unroot? If yes, how can I root it again?

Regards,

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25391766&postcount=458

Thought I'd post again, try to make a tidier post and also bring information to people who might not have waded through the 400 posts to get to my little walkthrough. So:

1- Download US ICS FIRMWARE from post #1 on this thread.

2- Copy it to external SD,

2- Download, install and run v2.7 AiO (also in post #1)- goto 'Custom Rom' submenu, choose '1 - Decrypt Update' function, but !STOP! when it asks if you want to root etc. Stop, tell it no to root. You'll be taken back to the custom ROM screen. Then...
[Droid 2 General] biznazz:
after the new root method i had it rooted and then flashed a rom that didnt work. i sbfed back to the stock rom and now my phone is bootlooping. i have reinstalled the drivers multiple times and sbfed multiple times. i can not figure out what is wrong
[Droid 2 General] bhigham:
Have you gone to recovery and wiped data?

I think that will likely be necessary. To get to stock recovery, hold down X while booting, and when the android logo and triangle come up, I think you hit both volume buttons at once to enter recovery.

use volume buttons to move, power to select.

Hope this helps
[Droid 2 General] MissionImprobable:
Yeah, as noted you need to wipe data/cache. SBFing only restores system files.
[Droid 2 General] spaceplustime:
Wiping the data should do the trick
[Droid 2 General] biznazz:
i ended up getting it to work. and it was the fact that i had to wipe the data.

Looking to enable wifi calling for CM10. It is obviously there in the default Tmobile stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Significa:
Not possible for CM10 and developers will probably never build it in since most phones/providers don't support wifi calling. Also, unlike phones like my old HTC G2 where wifi calling is a separate app, the SGS2 implements a new version of wifi calling that is built into the ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
Bottom line, if you need or want wifi calling, you need to be on a TW ROM, no if's or but's about it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KevlarTheGreat:
Actually, these guys are really misleading you. It's not that it can't or won't be done, it just hasn't been done yet.

There was even a version of T-Mobile WiFi calling that worked great on the HTC HD2 which wasn't even an Android phone, so it's completely false to say "Not possible for CM10", it just hasn't been done yet. They may be correct that it will never be built in, but someone will eventually make a derivative ROM that will have it, or you will have a flashable zip for it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
You can also use voip.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gypsy214:
there are phones out there that have wifi calling on cm9 and cm10. hell they even have it on MIUI

Groove-IP works pretty good
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KevlarTheGreat:
I've seen a lot of people suggesting that we use our Google Voice (GV) number instead of WiFi calling.

If I use GV, and assuming I set it up properly....

When people call my cell number, does it ring when I only have wifi and no cell service?

When I make calls out on WiFi only, so people see my cell number or my GV number?

In what ways is it different than use T-Mobile WiFi calling?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bsbachert:
You can forward you cell number to your google voice number, when you want wifi calling. I have mine set up to start at 6pm till 8am when I'm home. Works perfectly. I use grooveIP free, with a strong wifi signal, calls are very clear.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cailloubui:
can someone explain to me why wifi calling is cool?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DIMENSIONAL:
WiFi calling is "cool" or useful because it allows for using WiFi as cell phone signal. I've worked in buildings which had no cell phone signal, and without WiFi calling, it would take hours for a text message to find the signal to creep through, so it was very useful.

I've tried GrooveIP and GVoice and they were way too buggy to rely on. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
And to add to this...some of us use our voice in certain areas mostly (like home) and Wi-Fi calling allows us to get a low minute plan since Wi-Fi calling doesn't use minutes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Eks Dee Aye:
Actually it can or does use your minutes... I know sounds foolish huh. I've seen some discussions on this in a few different places/sites and I still don't have a 100% clear answer. On the TMOUSA site regarding wifi calling, towards the bottom in grey txt it says:

"Capable device and Wi-Fi connection required. Wi-Fi Calling may decrement plan minutes. Except for UMA devices, device will not transition between Wi-Fi and the wireless network."

I think it's a case of if you're using it excessively they would start to deduct it kind of thing, but who knows. It's probably so they can change their minds in the future without any hassle, for instance, if people are using the heck out of it and they are losing as a result.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jtl2011:
By default, it will use your minutes but now they have a free WiFi calling feature that you can add which makes calls made over WiFi free + unlimited, at least that's how it was last time I knew.

I would also really love to see the feature added to cm10 someday... It used to come with cm7 when I used it on my G2. :)

A quick question, how's the bluetooth A2DP function? Can it work with my car audio system as RootBox couldn't but RR is ok.. but RR battery drains faster than I blink... something went so wrong that within 10 mins and after a couple of restarts, the battery dropped 30% from 50% to 19%.

CWM needs to be compatible. CWM 6 is no longer compatible with previous versions. If you are on CWM 6.x.x (most JB now I think) and you make a backup, and then you flash Dream kernel (JB compatible but 5.x.x version CWM) you can't restore that backup from 6.x.x.
