[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] gonzo99:
It appears that a significant number of people are having the problem where a 3rd party launcher 'crashes' randomly and the device gives you a 'smart recovery' dialog urging you to uninstall the offending launcher.

However, I've seen it reported and experienced it myself with multiple launchers, even when not using Hauwei stock widgets.

It happened to me again last night, even after I had uninstalled Huawei Home (via adb, not rooted) - so that's not to blame, but I've also seen it reported on other EMUI devices so it seems to be something baked into the software.

Last night I was able to grab a catlog, but unfortunately can't decipher it to make any more sense to me to assist in resolving the problem.

The pertinent line that triggers the 'smart recovery' appears to be:

[05-19 03:03:46.430 11784:11784 W/HwPhoneLayoutInflater]

onCreateView : ClassNotFoundException, In this case we want to let the base class take a crack at it​

Or possibly these following lines:

[05-19 03:04:12.469 11784:11784 W/ResourceType]

Failure getting entry for 0x01040255 (t=3 e=597) (error -75)

startInputReason = 1

cleanUpRendererScope(nowcards-1835896377611016320)​

I'd be grateful if anyone more experienced wants to take a look and see if they can shed some light on the problem. I have the full catlog files if anyone wants to take a more detailed look but can't see anything else relevant in there.

It happens rarely for me, but when it does happen it's annoying. Uninstalling Huawei Home means I get thrown to the select launcher dialog rather than directly back to Huawei Home, so it means I have to have a backup launcher set up until the phone decides to behave.

You'd probably want to check when your launcher is crashing and check events after that. Post full log

Hello, i was looking for a standalone backlight manager to use in ultimate launch ( with cycling ) and i've found this great stuff on 4pda.ru but unfortunately it's all in russian. I've manage to make it work well on my trinity but i'can't understand all the options and there's no .ini nor lang.text to edit. Some help is welcome for the translation, even if you don't translate the program i would like a russian helper that can list all the options (would be perfect with screenshots). thanks a lot for viewing perhaps helping !!!

P.S. :sorry for english, when you read my posts you know i'm french ; )

UPDATE 06.05.2008 new cab below containing the english mui.cab. Install both then go to config first line of the second tab to change language. All credits to MalVal
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MalVal:
MVBklight 1.4.3

1. Install MVBklight.CAB.

2. To change the language: install MVBklight.MUI.CAB, go to settings the first line of the second tab.

3. To change the skin: copy a new skin to Skins folder in program folder and choose this skin in settings.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] N'da:
Thanks a lot it works perfectly now i can configure my cycling function. your great
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] N'da:
Your program is really perfect MalVal, I was looking for a stuff like that for a month, really happy that the Dev himself answer me. The torch, the cycling function, the today plugin, the fact that it's multiplatform, nice work. Do you have made other progs ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MalVal:
Yes. MVBalance. It dysplays remained money in your mobile on today.

But it have only russian interface, and i think it will be difficult to adjust it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JBT1:
Hi MalVal,

Did you have a short tuto ? How does it works, I launch it, change langage, but did not understand how to make it works!

Thanks for your help
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mst46:
Hi MalVal,

your app did sound so sweet ;-) but unfortunately is does not work on my Artemis.

The slider shows up - but it does not change the brightness no matter what I do.

A couple of observations:

it shows Arte20000 instead of Arte200 and this name is fixed

for device type it says WM2003 but it should read WM6.1 or at least WM6

most of the settings for registry are greyed out and not changable

Might be that the problems come from my Rom being modified ?

Best regards,

mst
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JBT1:
Hi MalVal,

Same issue for as mst46. I'm using your soft with Artemis PDA and "ARTEMIS TOUCH 4.01 WM6.1 WWE ROM".

As previously mentioned, only ARTE10000 is proposed and no way to modify other fields as they are "greyed".

BUT, it seems that is it because of the english translation you quickly done. I try removing the cfg.exe.mui file you provide, and then relaunch conf, then, even if written in a langage I cannot understand (russian ?), it is possible to select another item than "ARTE10000" and then are able to edit the following fields.

I try to select WM5/WM6, then HKCU, then ControlPanel\backlight, then Brightness, then ACBrightness, but seems that it has no effect. Difficult to o further when don't know what are the files editing :)

Could you take a look at it ? Thanks for your support.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dancer_69:
Same thing happens with ipaq hx2490b. The device name is correct, the OS appears as WM2003(I haveWM6.1), and other options are greyed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MalVal:
If default settings does not work, you can manually setup it :

1. Set manual in field Settings for

and restsart Cfg.exe. All fields become accessible.

2. see post above.

Known codes for some HTC:

HTC Hermes, НТС Х7500:

Codes: Pwr - 0x220010, Bat - 0x220018

HTC 4350 Herald:

HTC 3400 :

HTC Wizard:

iPaq 3715:

You can try these. If it does not help, it is necessary to analyze built-in backight manager with IDA.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JBT1:
Hi Malval,

I've been able to make it work with the parameters you provides for my P3300.

But there is still a problem with the translation file I belive.

I first install the Cab, then replace the cfg.exe plus the cfg.exe.mui file with the one you provide in the early post.

When running the conf, it is possbile to have it in english, but it was not possible to select something else than ARTE10000 in the second field (settings for) of the system tab. The "manual" option is not available!

In order to make it works, I remove the cfg.exe.mui file, and relaunch the conf. Then all messages come back to russian, but in the second field of system (settings for I belive it is writen in russian), I was able to select something else than ARTE10000 and I've been able to access following fields (they are no more greyed).

Once the "manual" field selected, I exit the conf, and replace the conf.exe.mui file and I've been able to see what are the fields I was modifying as the langage come back to english.

But, in the "Settings for" field, it is written "(null)", and opening the drop down box, only ARTE10000 is available.

I hope it can helps you in order to modify your code to fix this minor bug.

For those who follow the instruction I gives, and having a P3300 running "ARTEMIS TOUCH 4.01 WM6.1 WWE ROM", I set a "Maximum value" to 4 otherwise you will have a surpise of a blank screen if seting a higher values.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MalVal:
Hi, JBT1.

Thanks for bag.

I've upload a new one. In the same post. Check it.

I've also add mui for plagin.

In the next release i'll add all files in one cab-file and i'll update database to support artemis.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JBT1:
Hi Malval,

Sounds good this time. Manual is available now in the settings and today plugin menu is in english.

Thank you for this great application.

I have an issue now with the assignement of a button with your popup application. I assign it to the button 6, and it works fine except when running TomTom! If running Tomtom and hitting button 6, it call the default assignment who is the Voice speed dial! I beleive it is a Rom or Tomtom issue.

Will look forward for your next rev ;)

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] romualdrichard:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mattarse:
The backlight doesn't change at all. Im on a kaiser with duttys newest 6.1 rom.

If I leave it set for kaiser it is stuck on WM2003, but changing it to manual and setting it for Wm2005/2006 doesn't help either.

I assume the problem is in one of the other settings, but I reallydon't know what to test.

Any help you can give would be appreciated, I've been looking for a program like this for awhile.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mawst95:
Couldn't get the plugin to display within UL on my CDMA touch.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MalVal:
About Kaiser.

If known settings (from my device database) for various types of HTC doesn't work (you can try all of them), you need to analize built-in backlight manager with IDA Pro and find out your settings.

I could make this for you if you give me built-in backlight manager file. I don't have it.

mawst95,

Does MVBklight appear in Start-Settings-Today after install?

Try to launch MVBklPopup from Start-Programs or from program folder. Does it work?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mattarse:
Ive tried to copy the backlight.dll file off the device, but it won't seem to copy. Im not recieving an error message, just nothing gets copied. Is there something special that needs to be done to copy these files?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] N'da:
You don't see it under windows because it may be an hidden files, look at the proprieties of the file with totalcommander into the phone uncheck hidden and try to copy again. give it a try if you haven't.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] N'da:
i'm quite sure that's it, got the same problem another day with another file.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] N'da:
By the time, MalVal, i know it's not very polite since you made this program and take time from 4pda to help us here, but i've a question (request...): is it possible in the popup function to disable (hide) the bottom bar ?

thanks for your time
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mattarse:
Post reply, Ok got it ;) And feel like a halfwit in the process :D

Here's the dll file,let me know if that will help!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MalVal:
mattarse,

Did you try these settings:

Pwr – 0x8, Bat – 0x7

HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight, ACBrightness, Brightness?

They correspond to your file.

N'da, in the next release i'll disable the bottom bar in popup.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] N'da:
Thanks, i'll be there waiting for and looking at 4pda. If you need tester told me.

mui for spanish users

@malval:

i'm using mvbklight 1.4.1 with the mui in this thread, and i cannot activate today plugin. My pda is an acer n311, spanish version.

I checked cab installation file, and no file is copied into windows folder, nor any registry key is created. :confused:

can you help?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ts-mc:
i have installed the cab and then copy the mui files overwriting the existing one.

but i cant aktivate the today-plugin.

and the popup cant be displayed. i only se a gray recktangle.

(Artemis with org. WM6.0)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MalVal:
gautxori, ts-mc.

all program files must be in folder \Program Files\MalVal\MVBklight. You need lunch Cfg.exe from this folder to switch on and configure plugin.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hk-trotter:
This is a killer application looking at what it is supposed to do. Kudos to the programmer. Alas I couldn't get it to work. :(

First off, after installing the CAB file to the device I tried to copy the MUI.zip content to the program folder. It wouldn't allow me. Why? Because there was a sharing violation or something. Then I went to Today plugins and disabled the MKBklight plugin. ONLY after that I was allowed to pour the contents of the zip into the program folder.

Then I tapped on CFG.exe only to find out that EVERYTHING is still in Russian. :confused:

I hope the author can fix these installation woes as soon as possible. It looks like a lovely app. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dancer_69:
The program doesn't work on my eten X600. I tried with these values from above post but nothing. I attach the dll of the backlight utility to help me found the correct settings.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nalaszi:
Hi dancer_69! I'm an X600 owner too. :)

I know the settings for thic device. Just adjust to same like in this pictures and the backlight is adjusted well.

The correct settings to the ETEN Glofiish X600 PDA:

But i have a "mystic" error! If i install the app. and configure to my device then working well in russian. (Now i know what the settings do without russian language knowledge...) But if i copy the english files and overwrite the original, my device is dont boot again!!! (Just a hard reset is solve the problem...) Any ideas??!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dancer_69:
Thanks for your help, I just put them and it works!

I use the english translation and I didn't mention any problem or crash until now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lamandrion:
i want to do the following:

when device switch on then backlight 100% after 3 secconds it should switch to 10 %!

is this possible to do this?

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MalVal:
lamandrion,

this program can not do this.

To make it, it is necessary to write the small application which will be started when the device wake up. It will switch on bklight in max, after 3 sec. switch to 10 % and exit.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zard:
I'm using a HTC TyTN II with Dutty's latest 6.1 rom.

I installed the cap, went to Settings-Today to disable MVBklight, copied the contents from MUI.zip to device\programs files\malval\mybklight\ and overide whatever files there.

Went to device\programs files\malval\mybklight\ and click on Cfg.exe, settings is in a language that I can't read. What have I done wrong? I know others could read settings in english but I can't.

Even with Popup.exe, I could see the bulb and the horizontal bar, I could increase the bar and % or reduce but backlight does not change. Torch.exe gives a white screen.

My regional settings is set to English (Australia), if it helps.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MalVal:
zard,

see second page, first item. Tap on it and choose MUI and restart Cfg. English languge must be switch on.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zard:
Thanks. I get it now. I think it would be good to put some instructions at the first post to explain how to get the english MUI to work.

For my TyTN II, I had to set to manual, then usin the following settings to get it to work:

Pwr – 0x8, Bat – 0x7

Thanks MalVal.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zard:
Here's my contribution:

1. Install cab.

2. Copy files from MUI.zip to Program Files\MalVal\MVBklight

3. Open from Start-Programs, run MVBklCfg, go to second page, first item. Tap on it and choose MUI and restart MVBklCfg.

4. Change Settings to Manual

5. Change Battery to 0 x 7

6. Change Power to 0 x 8

7. Click on Apply and close MVBklCfg.

THX MalVal ! :)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mawst95:
I wonder if MalVal would be willing to add like a skinning feature or more display options. The slider is cool, but for my set up on my Touch I'd rather have a medium to big + and - button. Its easier for me to push in really sunny conditions when I can barely see my screen and grabbing the slider thing is tricky. $20 US dollars if Mal makes the change, although what's the $ worth? 10 cents?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bulmer:
lower light setting?

I am using this app on my Axim x51v with no problems, but am wondering is it possible to make the lowest setting ( before it switches off completely)a bit lower. This would make it much easier on my eyes when reading in total darkness.Anyone know if this is possible?

This program is so great! I love changing the backlight intensity via command line!

I didn't even had to change anything for it to work with the HTC Touch... *yipiiieee*

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MalVal:
funnypc,

switch settings to manual mode and choose IPAQ hx2190 in device type.

joshrys,

i think your problem is in skin mode (no skin in program folder or wrong skin name). It is necessary to test without skin.

mawst95,

there are some ways.

First, any today launcher (SPB Pocket Plus, PocketAGE ...) allow to put shorkcut to program with icon on today. Make two shorkcuts (Cmd +, Cmd -) and two big icons.

Second, make new skin with several big buttons.

Like this http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=84544&stc=1&d=1210134409.

Third (my:)), using hardware buttons. I use volume up/down - bklight up/down, volume long up / long down - max and min of bklight, volume double up / double down - volume of sounds up/down. AEButtonPlus help me to do these.

bulmer,

all posibilities (max, min, step ...) of bklight are provided by OEM bklight driver. To change its it's necessary to write new driver.

N'da, can you upload a new version (or link) in your first post, thks.
