[Sony Cross-Device General] NamenIos:
As always resetting setting (PhilZ Settings, Reset All Recovery Settings), setting virbration to off (drives me nuts) and setting Dim Screen to 0/off and Screen Off to 1min.

Does not look promising. Brightness settings don't work and the backlight won't turn off.

Will all settings be reset when I reset them in the GUI? Because the brightness path gets saved and if the gui just resets its gui settings and nothing else there could be problems.

cat /sys/class/leds/lm3533-lcd-bl-(1/2)/brightness still zero

Anyway log (cutting off the build.prop part):

Sorry, today I am juggling around with an old phone too. So my answers do take longer. I am off to grocery shopping and started with beer an hour ago so I can bare football in the evening. I will probably be not productive past nine cest.
