Anyone? I have looked in the registry but cant find anything... :-/
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] benko286:
as far as i know there is no software\tweak that can change backlite to min :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wheresmybeaver:
Same here. In my case, I'd like the backlight to be a bit brighter in brighter conditions, especially when in the car on a sunny day and I'm using iGo. Manually, I can set the backlight higher. I had a sony ericsson phone with a similar light sensor, but you could adjust its maximum threshold and the general brightness. Surely there's a software solution here somewhere!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Scotchy49:
I searched a little and quickly found some things:

1. The Diamond seems to have an in-built process to adjust brightness according to light sensor. Don't know if it works, though.

2. The registry keys are found at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\BackLight\". You can modify brightness there, and it will affect the control panel BUT not change your current brightness. There is an Event you must trigger to update brightness. In many devices, this is the BacklightChangeEvent, in some others, this is SDKBacklightChangeEvent, and some others something different. Depends on the device and the manufacturer.

I wrote an app to change the registry value and trigger both SDKBacklightChangeEvent and BacklightChangeEvent. I can see on the control panel the value has changed, but the visible Brightness won't change. Seems HTC decided to make their own DLL to manage that, instead of standard windows mobile events.

So, I searched a bit further and I found that into "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn" there is a key called "Frontlight" which is apparently defining a value which points to Backlight.dll. This must be HTC's implementation of the Backlight manager. I was like "yay this will be my first windows mobile dll reverse engineering" BUT, I didn't find this file anywhere on the device, unfortunately.

If anyone could find it on the Diamond, please pass me the info ! ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sblop:
Thank you. Its a lot of attention you have given this topic. :-) For that I thank you. - Just too bad you cant find that dll. :-/ Hope some other helps. :-)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] axelpix:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] microlomaniac:
This has to be a lot easier.

I found some reg settings in HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight, one of them called "AutoBklOffset". Actually this is exactly what we're searching for here: When I enter a value >0 here, the backlight instantly goes brighter, and the automatic backlight setting is still active and works.

so, what we have to do is figure out how to enter a negative value here.

Ideas?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Scotchy49:
Hmm, I don't think we can get anything only with the registry, but we don't lose anything to try, do we ?

I'll check again the registry.

Ok. Actually AutoBklOffset is linked to "Auto backlight adjust". This means that if auto backlight adjust isn't ativated, AutoBklOffset won't do anything.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Scotchy49:
Ok, all this search was fun. But I told myself: what if I just go ahead and try if the already built-in app works ?

And yea, it already works. Meaning if you put the device in front of the sun, it will go bright, and dim if you're in a dark place.

So I guess this is a configuration specific issue and don't need a new app. I'm out of tha place ! :p

P.S.: It would have been actually quite stupid to include a Light sensor but not using it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] WhiteCell:
my works fine

u can test it on bright light...u will see the change when u cover uper part oh the phone....it will dimm and u will se almost nothing...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sblop:
This tweak still dosnt make the phone use the whole scale. From dimmest to brightest. :-/
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] MJNewton:
You misunderstand the issue.

With the backlight set to auto try using your phone in a completely dark room - the light sensor will detect this and the phone dims. Okay, now remove the auto setting and you will find that you can make the phone even dimmer than this using the slider. The lowest auto setting is equivalent to level 3 on the manual scale - what the guys here want to do is make this equal to level 1, or lower (or in the case of one poster make the maximum auto setting equal to the maximum manual setting, or perhaps even higher if possible).

The issue is therefore not whether or not the light sensor works (it does), or whether the phone can automatically dim/brighten the display in response to the ambient light level (it can), but whether it is possible to make the full scale range in automatic mode equal to that which the device offers in manual mode.

Hi friends.

I have the problem using TomTom at car. When Diamond receive direct sun light it increases backlight until 70%, but not 100%; when I drive at night Diamond decreases backlight until 30%.

I would like adjust some values to 100% and 10% but I have no idea about registry or dlls.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] axelpix:
Nice summary ;)

This exactly was the original topic of this thread.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sblop:
Did you come any further with the app?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] snovvman:
I too would like to see a solution for the narrow range of light sensor adjustment. The screen stays too bright when ambient is dark.

In my Sprint CDMA Diamond, I see these registry entries:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight

LSensorReduceBKLDelay

LSensorAvegQuene

I wonder what they do. There must be some way to change the range of adjustment or the bias of the light sensor.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ngaillet:
Solution !

I developed a fix for this...

Install the cab,

Uncheck the Auto adjust backlight option,

SoftReset your Diamond...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sblop:
Thanks. Works amazing. :-)

Can you explain how you did it?

Greetings
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] daniel.bigred:
don't know if this will help but with Advanced config (app) you can adjust the light sensor "threshold" maybe this is the sensitivity that you are looking for...

i agree with the problem & have just disabled the light sensor completely... any idea how much battery is consumed with the constant polling? (every 300ms by default!)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ngaillet:
Yes, with LightSensor SDK, I got a number of lumens (0-256), and with this , I change the value of the sliders in Control Panel of both battery/AC brightness :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] gamer007:
Just installed this, the light sensor doesn't seem to change after soft resetting. Should I leave "Auto adjust..." off?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DALUEN:
Program is constantly using high amount of cpu (~50 %) I think querying the sensor via the sdk is very computation-intensive. Uninstalled it now, but I like the idea, please continue to work on.

[General Topics] Jurnon:
Hello,

I've been googling around for few hours, but did not manage to find any solution for my simple problem - that's why I've decided to ask in here.

Situation.

I have gates outside an apartment I want to rent. The gates can be opened when receiving a call from a telephone number, only if it is put on a specific list. This is done by a maintenance company and it takes anywhere from 1 to 3 days. The amount of numbers I can put on the list is limited.

Problem.

Sometimes people who want to rent the apartment, book the apartment few minutes / hours before they actually come so I do not manage to put their phone on the list which means that I have to make call to the gate when they come and if they want to go out later and so on.

Idea.

I thought that simple call forwarding will be enough. My idea was to take out a new SIM for me, make all calls coming to this SIM be forwarded to the gates, add this new number to the list of the gates, and give this number to all of the tenants. Sadly, this approach forwards the number which is making the call and not the "number in the middle", meaning that the gates still see some unknown number calling to them and not opening themselves.

Questions.

Is there a possibility to somehow force the forwarding function to forward not the original callers telephone number, but to be seen as a "middle" number making the call?

If not, maybe there is a possibility to find an app which could do 2 simple things. When receiving a call dropping it and then instantly making a call to a designated number? Seems very simple, but I was not able to find in so far :(

Any other solutions are appreciated.

Jurnon
[General Topics] Slim K:
Honestly, I'm quite reluctant in giving you an answer. The reason why the maintenance company requires 1-3 days to add a phone number is quite obvious, and that is a kind of a

security measure

(think of a Turing test like a Captcha as an example). They made it that way to be able to vet out (or identify) the safe numbers to be granted that power, Automating this process can open serious security loopholes and may even render it useless. Nevertheless, I will try to help you, because I trust you to know your own good.

Now to the solution, the obvious answer would be to make your own app or someone makes it for you, but that can get complicated very quickly and will require you to learn a programming language, which is a hassle.

Alternatively, you can use something like Automate. To use this app you will need an Android 7.0 or higher phone, time to learn how it functions and a few brain cells to spare.

The App uses Flows and Function Blocks to achieve a certain programming language-like process, whereupon you can make any kind of phone automation possible.

I'm not going to spoon feed you on how to do it, but you can probably figure out how to do it. I trust you. ;)

After installing it and playing around with it enough (there are great examples in-App), your program should generally look like this:

View attachment 5333957

Pay attention to the red arrows, for the call incoming Block, you would click on the Function Block after placing it and input your phone number/numbers here:

View attachment 5333981

As for the call outgoing Block. You would input the gate phone number like this:

View attachment 5333987

FAQ:

1. Why did you put a delay block between the incoming call block and the end call Block?

Answer: switching call states can take a few seconds to complete, hence why it is placed there.

2. This program doesn't work, After receiving the call it won't hangup automatically. why?

Answer: The End call function block works in some devices and in others won't. In that case, you can remove it and connect the incoming to a delay and then to the outgoing again and loop it back. This approach will require your Tenants to hangup first after a few rings however, so keep that in mind.

Hope I helped you with this issue. Best of luck in exploring this amazing App. :cowboy:

Hi,

this question might be to vague but at this point I'm not even quite sure if I'm on the right path for what I try to do so any input would mean a lot to me.

I've been struggling a lot with a Bluetooth Dongle pass-through on Android Emulator. I basically what to connect the Emulator to a real Bluetooth device through a Bluetooth USB dongle. After weeks of searching I found a tutorial that kind of explains what I want to do but its for the AAOS Emulator.

Can someone give me a overview on how to mod those files and how I bring them together to build an emulator? I'm trying my best to understand the AOSP Repo and its structure, but the harder I'm trying the more confused I am.

It's been a long time since I've updated my phone and I've put it off additionally because I assume it'll be a nuisance. I'm on Omni version It's been a long time since I've updated my phone and I've put it off additionally because I assume it'll be a nuisance. I'm on Omni version 9-20190331-oneplus6-WEEKLY and think I may have never correctly rooted it, evidently by opening the TWRP app and Titanium Backup have issues so I have at least a couple concerns:

What ROM should I upgrade to? Thinking something like Lineage

How do I correctly update up Android 10 - then 11?

It's been so long since I've done this, are there other items I'm not thinking of?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] tiga016:
You can go to omni A10 if you like. It is much better to go A10 ROM for stability but if you like A11 ROM it's up to you if bugs and issues does not bother you. But prior to upgrading you must upgrade first your base OOS to at least 10.3.9 in my opinion because 10.3.10 and 10.3.11 have issues in some people.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] mm_rajesh:
In my view, stock is the best option. The next release will be Android 11. However, if Custom rom's are your choice. I'd prefer to go with MIUI and my second will be Omni or other Enchilada versions. As they tend to use Google apps which in my view is not user friendly and intuitive to use. The most stable ones of them will be Lineage OS . The latest versions can be found over this forum.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] vdesmare:
Hello,

there are a lot of post about sorting the contacts by firstname or displaying them by firstname but what I'm looking for is a bit different.

When I create a new contact (through the phone interface or directly throught the contact interface), the default setting for the field "File as" is Lastname, Firstname. So if I don't change anything, it will be displayed with Lastname first. As all my contacts are displayed with Firstname first, this is just anoying.

Especially when I create the contact throught the phone application. Because in this case, I don't have access the "file as" field. so I need to create the contact. Save it. then edit it and change the "file as" filed to display it by name.

So my question is simple : is there a registry entry which can be changed in order to have, by default, the field "file as" filled in with Firstname first then lastname.

Thanks

Vincent
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pasil.pt:
i think 'contact changer.cab' will do the job, as you can choose between "lastname, firstname" and "firstname, middlename, lastname" formats.

However, if you sync with outlook, and do the updats always on outlook, first, you do't have such problem.

I register all my contacts on outlook (PC), first, and whe I sync with diamond the listings generated follow the "file as" sequence
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Blazeitup123:
you can use "display as" and "file as" in outlook contact properties.
