Is it possible to enable the keyboard light via the backlight button? I believe this would be a very useful function since the keyboard light only comes on when it is very dark and not under poor light conditions.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] meatychi:
Probably you will just need to find the registry key that controls the backlight button and then associate the relevant keyboard light trigger to the registry key. :shock:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] RobinB:
Thanks, however it is the keyboard light I'm interested in. Do you know how to enable that?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gooroo:
I'm sure thats what Meatychi just said :)

Regards
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
Go to Start>Settings>Button>Backlight and Disable auto sensor. This would enable the keyboard to light up as soon as you press any key for 10 seconds. If you want the keyboard light to light up more than 10 seconds, follow this instructions from the WiKi pages:

How long will Universal keyboard shine? 10 seconds is a few, change the value of this key and it will shine so long as you wish!

?HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Backlight\QKeyLedTimeout
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] RobinB:
OK - I think I need to clarify this. What I would like to do is to be able to turn ON the "keyboard lights" using the "backlight button". I know how to program the backlight button and extend the "light on" time for the keyboard (thanks to previous posts). Being able to turn on the keyboard light by pressing a button (regardless of what the sensor thinks, and not having it come on when I don't need it) would, I think, be an advantage.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] RobinB:
Further.....

I do not want the keyboard light to come on everytime I press the key, for instance in bright daylight. The sensor turns the light on in almost pitch black, so that's ok. In poor light conditions the sensor does not turn the light on and it's difficult to see (at least for me), the small keyboard Fn icons. Hence the reason for having some other means of control.

What in fact I need, if anybody knows, is how to trigger the keyboard lights (apart from hitting the keyboard).

:)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] BrettS:
I haven't tried any of this, so this is all just speculation, but here is a thought...

I believe that there are programs out there that will simulate a keystroke. Assuming you can find one, and assuming that a simulated keystroke will turn on the backlight, then you may be able to assign the keystroke program to the backlight button. You'd have to pick a harmless keystroke, like the shift key, and it's not pretty, but it may work.

Good luck,

Brett

" ?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Localhorst86:
Short answer: No

long answer: Nope. WP8 does not use a "regular" file system (FAT or NTFS) and can therefore not be accessed as a flash drive. That's why the System uses the MTP layer.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Actually, WP8 does use NTFS internally (WP7 used a modified version of FAT, same as old WinMo). However, we don't (at the moment) have the ability to write apps that can access the storage volume directly, so the answer is still no.

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Ph0enix_216:
This is a hack for anyone who is running stock Amazon OS. For some reason, if you add the Kindle Reading app icon to a third party launcher (Such as Nova, Apex, etc.), it won't launch the app. Instead, to access your books, you must use the stock Carousel launcher to get to your reading library. This command, however, will force the Kindle to display your books.

This has been tested on a KFHD 7" running Stock OS 7.4.3. It should work on the 2nd gen Kindle Fire and the KFHD 8.9" and even Kinology as well.

Some notes:

Root required

You need to have a way to launch command shortcuts from your launcher home screen (for a Laucher Icon)

The stock launcher MUST be installed. The command uses a line from Launcher.apk's Android-Manifest file.

You can also create a command shortcut on the home screen using ROM Toolbox. Enter this command...

am start -a com.amazon.kindle.otter.action.SHOW_BOOKS

or

am start -a com.amazon.kindle.otter.action.internal.SHOW_BOOKS

...and allow it to run commands as root.

The script and a couple screenshots are attached below. Also attached is the Kindle Reading app icon, pulled straight from the app; for anyone who wants to change the image of their homescreen icon.

EDIT: Running the command "am start -a com.amazon.kindle.otter.action.internal.SHOW_BOOKS" will show the books already on your SD card, rather than all the books stored in the Amazon cloud.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] persano:
and if i put this script in int.d?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Ph0enix_216:
Honestly? I have no clue:D

It's not necessarily a performance tweak. It just kind of fires a command when the user triggers it.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] persano:
i know, but i dont want to activate it every time, if i put it in init.d it is going to activate at every boot
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Ph0enix_216:
I'm don't know. Lemme try something...
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Ph0enix_216:
Okay. I downloaded ROM Toolbox (after a couple times of rebooting my internet router -_-) and set the script to run at boot. After a few seconds of rebooting, it opened the KindleForOtter.apk. So running this script at boot will immediately launch the Kindle reading app.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] jlamborn3:
I know just enough to be a danger to myself ...

I want to start by saying thanks. This has been driving me nuts and every fix I have seen involves files that are no longer online, as well as moving, deleting, moving again, uninstalling, reinstalling ... this seems to be a pretty simple fix ... but the presentation is a little higher level than I am at. Y'all have kinda glossed over some areas I am unsure of.

I have ROM Toolbox downloaded and have looked all this over ... but I've no idea exactly what to do to put this hack into action. Where do I go in ROM Toolbox to enter the command? I'm guessing once I save this, I can create a shortcut to it and then change the icon. Would y'all be able to give me some more direction, please?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Ph0enix_216:
Sure. Assuming you have a different launcher installed, go to your widgets and select "Command Shortcut". Place it wherever, and in the "Command:" field, enter the command. Name it whatever you want, and once it's on your home screen, you can change the icon by holding it and selecting "Edit" and then tapping the icon.

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] jlamborn3:
I'd love to try that, but ...

Thanks. Sometime after I posted my query above my reader on the Kindle stock screen stopped working ... and in trying to figure out what I'd done, which at the point had been nothing, I somehow lost my root and ended up with a reset. Now I'm trying to clear everything out, since the reset leaves a lot of residue behind. Once I fix my mess I'll be back to try this out.

Edit: Fixed my mess. Second of two command lines from the hack worked. Now I'm just trying to get the icon the way I want it. Thank you all for your help.

Hey all!

Simple question: Does GRAM works on AOSP roms?! Is it a software or a hardware feature?! Or maybe both?!

Thanks!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meld:
GRAM is hardware but not sure if need specific software on stock rom to make it works
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evilmonstertruck:
Good Question,

Was wondering this myself
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Life Engineer:
Any opinions on this?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
If I had to guess I would think that gram feature is activated through either the rom or kernel, so it probably isnt working on AOSP based ROMs. But thats just a guess due to how the feature activates.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Life Engineer:
What makes me confused is some reports in those AOSP roms of better battery life!!! I really highly doubt it!

I've had the S2, S3 and never AOSP gives better battery life than stock roms! I think this also applies to highly optimized software like the one on our LG G2 or HTC one!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
Its really a toss up on battery life, no matter what phone. It depends on the feature you use and how they are implemented so no one can say AOSP gives better or Touchwiz gives better, or anything like that. Usually it is the apps within the ROM that give the bad battery life, such as Google Now. Stock GNow is just terrible on battery, and from what I can tell LG didnt do anything to GoogleNow to optimize it or change its function in any way. The Samsung or HTC implementation of it may give better battery life. There are also a lot of rom features in system apps that drain a lot more battery in Touchwiz and Sense than the stock AOSP.

The reason people get better battery on AOSP for this phone right now is because of two reasons:

1) the kernel default speed is 1.5GHz, meaning even at max it wont ever drain as much battery as stock

2) AOSP based ROMs have less bloat in them right now that isnt draining as much battery leading to better idle life.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Life Engineer:
You are partially right but not completely! Software optimisation has a lot of role in here!

A big example is let's say the HTC one being able to deliver 10hrs of browsing on its modest 2300ma. I dare you that AOSP can't do that!

Also see iPhones which have like 1400ma and have some amazing battery life.

So allow me to say you are wrong! Software optimisation has a lot to do!

Besides when I wrote my last comment it was out of experience and not speculation. I always have the same apps and most of the time touchwiz (although it has more bloatware) had mich bettery life! So NO it's not only about the apps! There's something much deeper than that!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgolder:
Are you saying that no custom rom gives better battery life?!

Can't say I agree with that at all. Anytime I've changed a stock blaoted rom for a well put together aosp rom the battery has always been better.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Life Engineer:
Read my reply above sir! :)

Anyway that's just not the main issue! The question here is Does GRAM works on AOSP or not?!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dewsy:
It would be great, but i'm afraid we need some developer here. Maybe they can port the script from LG frimwares to use it in other roms. I would buy a beer for that hero!

Still can ´t find answer if GRAM works on AOSP roms. Every AOSP rom has really big drain from screen. On LG stock rom top one draining process is system.

So is it because LG rom is heavy bloated and android system on AOKP is so light that screen is bigger drainer or GRAM really doesn´t work on AOSP roms.

If you want to keep your warranty intact then do not root or flash anything. Keep it completely stock.

If you don't really care about the warranty then you can install any custom ROMs, kernels, recovery. etc

Oh and its impossible to reset the knox counter once you trigger it which voids your warranty. Even flashing stock firmwares with old bootloaders without knox while trigger the Knox flag so be very careful!

hi ,

I came to write this after faced a user code problem with a devices .

google was with me when I knew that the password is stored in a particular IC , programmable in device mainboo.

I have no the programmer , but after reading the Chip Datasheet I got an idea . what I want to let you know .

this is what is said DataSheet :

Data retention: 20 years at 85°C/100 years at 25°C

so what will be if I heat or put chip on freezer , these temp°) will effect the chip or no ?

ps : device is a macbook pro ( but we are in hw hacking forum )
[Hardware Hacking General] forbiddenera:
Temperature affects all materials. Generally the things that happen over time happen faster or slower at higher/lower temperatures. I am guessing you need the password reset. There should be a way to clear the chip. Desolder it, order a new one and.resolder. Older chips you could use tweezers or a paper clip to short two specific pins at boot clearing the pw.

BTW, no, cooking or freezing the chip wont help. Even if you leave it for 20 years at.85*C you may not have it.cleared.

Well, I actually noticed it with my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 16Gb N 9005 version.

When I go into settings and open "Accounts" or when I hold the home button to see apps running, I can see the back light on the lower half of the screen. Well, I can see the back lights because the background is black. Whether I'm using it the screen with 100% brightness or less possible, it's the same.

However, when I'm viewing dark pictures or gallery or many other parts that has a black or dark background I can't see the back light. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of it cause I don't own any other camera than my phone to show it to you.

Well, I just wanted to know if it's actually normal to see the back light on the screen as I explained above or is it that my device is a defect one or is there some sort of setting that can change it.

My friend has the N9000 but I can't see the back light on his screen. I'm a little worried.

Normally, since the default background is in black or dark grey it is noticeable.However, the weird part is when I go into gallery which also has the black background, it doesn't appear there! It's full black and I don't see the white like stuff.

Normally it is more visible when I'm in a dark room, mostly at night!
