[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] DeepThought:
Never the less I also think this has to be a ROM specific problem since I never had this issue. When you disable Lumos, does the issue persist or not?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] shad0w77:
No it does not persist and everything works fine. Here is how to reproduce the problem. With Lumos enabled, slide out the keyboard, click the messaging icon, close the keyboard, hit the stand by button. The front panel button backlight stays on. To get it to turn off, I have to hit the power button to turn the backlight on, hit a button on the front panel (usually the home) and turn it back to standby.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] DeepThought:
Strange. But I still can't reproduce this behavior on my Touch Pro (with ROMeOS).
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] shad0w77:
I am on a custom ROM now, but I remember this happening when I was running pure stock too. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] aSquard:
Man this thins drains the battery FAST!

100% in the morning down to 35% by 6p.

Setting on bottom of page 2 still good to use for Lumos?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nik3r:
It should be, there must be more to that if it actually drains your battery, another software screwing things up, your .NET version, can't really say what's wrong but there are few people who notice increased drain instead of saving battery. You may try to delete settings.txt and recalibrate, that will reset all to defaults.

Hi nik3r

Just to say I've installed this today... I've yet to finish tweaking my settings, but am liking it very much so far, thank you! As many others have said, I was fed up with the stock auto-adjustment not dimming enough in low light. Some comments, if I may...?

1. I've seen an issue, if you could call it that, when switching from battery to AC (or back). Sometimes, the backlight would raise quite a bit and then start to drop to normal level again. I think this is caused by reading the previous backlight value for the alternative power source and then adjusting from there. Would it be possible, when switching power source, to keep the current backlight level (assuming that the user is making use of Lumos for AC operation)? This would prevent any jumps when changing power source. An easy way to see this happen is if you have just changed the settings with LumosWizard... which sets the default backlight levels to 6... if you then change to AC from battery, the light jumps up after a couple of seconds before falling back to the level it was on.

2. A similar thing happened after resuming from standby with the WM option to "dim backlight when device is locked" set on. It would be dimmed, but would sometimes raise up to the Lumos setting (since it seems to override the WM setting when a level change occurs). I have gotten around this by using an exeption for the window titled "Password" and setting the level to 1 which works well. However, I use the PIN locking feature, and I have no idea what window name/class could be used for standard key lock rather than PIN lock. Perhaps a similar "dim if locked" option could be added if CPU use isn't extreme?

3. Have you thought about trying a digital filter on the sensor data rather than the average (of 4 values) that you currently use? It might allow for less spiked data, that is not adversely skewed by large spikes. A small order low-pass filter may work well. That said, the default algorithm seems to work quite nicely :)

Thanks again.

Martin

Hi Nik3r,

I have installed your program and I must say I like it.

A lot of more options to tune and tweak the backlight settings.

I did however stumble upon a small flaw in the exemption part of the software.

I tried to add skype to the list of exemptions but this is not possible due to the name of the skype window which is: Skype™.

I am unable to add the ™ after the name.

even if I use word to manually edit the settings file lumos doesn't recognize the ™.

Anyone have a solution for this?

Many thanks in advance.

Grtz Sebase
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nik3r:
This probably has something to do with settings file encoding, I'll try switching it to unicode in the future.

Hello !

Greate programm, thanx.

But....

I like to read books using HaaliReader program. How can I add it to exceptions, if program window name looks like this:

"HR: <name of the book>" - and it changes when i open another one...

is it possible to use program name or smth like this ?

Hi!

I don't have my Touch HD yet, so haven't had the chance to try this out.

But I already wanted to thank you! So THANKS!!!!;)

I can see you put a lot of work in it!!

I will defenitely/definetely/defenetely (dunno how to spell:p I'm Dutch..:p) try this!

Thnks!!!

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] gastric123:
Running ROMeOS 1.51 on a ATT Fuze. I've installed this, set it up via the wizard, and it was working. But apparently it doesn't auto-start when I do a soft reset or something as it's no longer running on my Fuze. Have any particular suggestions other than reinstall?

While it was running I noticed the blacklight fluctuating while I was in a brightly lit diner. The lighting was overhead and wasn't changing to my human eye and I wasn't sure why Lumos was detecting a change. But since it's not actively running any longer I can't review settings or re-test.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nik3r:
Make sure you use the 09b version if you don't, it fixes this very problem. Be aware that Lumos may be unresponsive in first 30 seconds after boot if the device is in complete darkness (it's a bug in HTC drivers).
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] CorruptedSanity:
Hey man, I can confirm that its very little CPU usage. Less than 1% most of the time. The only time it goes up is when it changes luminosity levels.

Is there a way to kinda make it lean towards the brighter side? I have set it to min of 3 as it gets too dark at night but I want it to be brighter most of the time and secondly, make it less sensitive to light change.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nik3r:
try to decrease maximum sensor value, that will make brightness pump up earlier. 500 should do.

Next version will support this without such hacks ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] CorruptedSanity:
My current data as attached. It is 14, how can I make it 500?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nik3r:
lol

well you did the calibration all wrong, next time try to read what its doing ;)

with this settings lumos won't work almost at all, your sensor has its maximum probably little under 800, you calibrated it to 14, that means pretty much any light will pump the backlight to maximum (6 in your case). Run the calibration again and do exactly what it says, you need to point the sensor up close directly to a light bulb to detect its real maximum and click next when it reaches top. In case you can't do that for any reason, you can change the value in settings, just type in the maximum value yourself. I recommend going through the calibration and detecting the real maximum at least once, it differs between devices, I've seen anything from 650 to 850 and that's quite a big difference.

I too hate to read messages and wizard walkthrougs but doing so at least once may save you a lot of time ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] CorruptedSanity:
From the settings I posted it may seem that I did not do any reading or academic installing. But I did, when calibrating I even went outside and got values as high as 879 which I recorded and lowest value of zero. I took my "in the shade" readings in a room with ambient not direct lighting. I have no idea why it recorded 14. Any how i've done it again.

My question is how to decrease the sensitivity? If I am looking at the screen it dims a little and if slightly angle it towards the ceiling it lights up. The sensor is a little too sensitive, can we reduce how much light change results in backlight change?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nik3r:
If you want less sensitivity in shade, you need to set sensor maximum value to real, that's apparently 879 for you, just write it there yourself in settings tab, if you set tolerance threshold to 1, it will decrease the sensitivity further, backlight will not change until a change larger than 1 is required. If you need more advanced descriptions of each variable in settings, open settings.txt in lumos folder. I really need to incorporate some kind of help in later versions, especially with the upcoming changes, there will be even more options and it can get confusing even now :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] CorruptedSanity:
So if my current lighting is detected at say 445 and a slight angle change of my wrist towards the ceiling is 550, when will back light change? Every how many change in luminosity does it change?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nik3r:
That shouldn't change the backlight because of tolerance.

Tolerance 1 prevents backlight change unless a change higher than that is required.

Say you have backlight 3 and move to a bit brighter area where it would normally switch to 4, nothing will happen until it's due to change to 5 or 1. You can make this effect even stronger with tolerance = 2 but 1 should be just fine in most cases.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] CorruptedSanity:
Nik3r, I see, very good explanation. I changed it to 1. The frequent change in backlight level due to slight movements in my wrist were killing my eyes and im sure eating battery and CPU processes.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] wensonlau:
Hello~~~

My phone is Touch HD, I like your LUMOS, But I can't use at sunshine:

The Lumos can identify lumens in 0-999, At sunshine, the sensor Max lumens is over 1000, If the lumens is 1030, The Lumos identify lumens between 30-31, So Lumos can't work at sunshine, I am very agony about it......

I want use the LUMOS not only at house, Please help me, Thanks very much!!

My English is very very poor, Hope you know what I say....

Good Night!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] tyguy:
@wensonlau

Try the following settings

Min backlight 2

Max 10

Sensor min lumen 5

Sensor max lumen 500

Sensor polling 400

Backlight change 800

Tolerance threshold 2

Force BL=0 1

Force BL=1 0
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nik3r:
That must be some kind of overflow in the sensor drivers, I've never seen any device reporting such high values.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Telmah:
Please help me...

how to Add HaaliReader or AlReader to exceptions list ?

these programs window names changes depends of the name of opened document...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nik3r:
No simple way currently, but a fix is already implemented in v10, just have patience ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] wensonlau:
Thank you. I'll test today~~
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nik3r:
New feature

For people that are anxious about the v10RC1 release, I have to admit I'm not there but I don't say I'm not close ;)

Adding more advanced stuff and still keep Lumos simple for nongeeks is quite tricky. The least I can do is to put up some screenies of new features and here is one definitely worth showing :)

Of course including a Custom mode where you can set things up just by dragging the graph. This is why I keep saying the BL=0 feature will be soon obsolete :cool:
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] rjmjr69:
Sweet looks promising.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] DeepThought:
Wow, that looks extremely nice! Please keep up the good work and if you need someone for beta-testing please count me in! :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nik3r:
Good news, this bit is ready :)

Lumos currently supports Linear, Quadratic and Root modes (big thanks to Colin_ger) as well as Custom mode. You can literally paint the graph curve with stylus, or carefully adjust every point while Lumos shows you the precise lumen value in a floating box :)

It's pretty fluid and if you're not comfortable with that you can manually type the number if you click at any of the overlay numbers at the bottom.

Now I need to implement this to the daemon (shouldn't be difficult considering I already have all the math and configuration module ready) and the next step will be translation engine. Oh and I already included the keyboard backlight timeout for raphael ;)

Be back soon :D

EDIT: Another change, Maximum Sensor value detection in wizard is now improved and holds the measured maximum instead of current value. Same for minimum detection.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] wensonlau:
The same trouble, Thanks~~~

Lumos for X1?

Great app!

Please, any progress with Lumos compatibility for Xperia X1?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nik3r:
Sorry I wasn't able to figure it out so far, the fix should be easy once I know what to do.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] pinny:
When do you think you will have the new version out?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] sunstorage:
Hi

thank you for your application. Actually it is the only one I have found to work on my brother PDA and to be able to change the brightness. Can you pls post some code snipet used to manipulate the brightness.

I am trying to change the brightness but changing the registry into

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Backlight

or firing the famous "BackLightChangeEvent" event does not help

So it will be very helpful if you can tell me the function name, the parameters, and the dll where its implemented that is responsible to trigger the actual brightness change.

Thank you in advice.

PS. If you prefer send me an email at sunman@abv.bg
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nik3r:
New version is in closed beta stage, there is a known bug in custom graph that needs fixing and I'm still working on implementing the translation engine.

Release date: when it's done :D

I will however make beta 2 and RC1 versions more public so keep checking ;)

The development is delayed because of school projects and because I'm on a ROM flashing rampage at the moment xD

In the meantime you can check my new theme for windows wait cursor, it's in my signature.

As for the code snippet, you're going to need these:

// battery backlight
[DllImport("HTCUtil.dll")]
private static extern int HTCUtilGetOnBatteryBrightnessLevel(ref int pValue);
[DllImport("HTCUtil.dll")]
private static extern int HTCUtilSetOnBatteryBrightnessLevel(ref int pValue);
// AC backlight
[DllImport("HTCUtil.dll")]
private static extern int HTCUtilSetOnPowerBrightnessLevel(ref int pValue);
[DllImport("HTCUtil.dll")]
private static extern int HTCUtilGetOnPowerBrightnessLevel(ref int pValue);
// minimum
[DllImport("HTCUtil.dll")]
private static extern int HTCUtilGetBacklightMinBrightness(ref int pValue);
// maximum
[DllImport("HTCUtil.dll")]
private static extern int HTCUtilGetBacklightMaxBrightness(ref int pValue);
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] sunstorage:
Thanks a lot - this should work now!

if its not a problem for you can you send me the entire PInvoke header you have of the HTCUtil.dll - just for any case :) <sunman@abv.bg>
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nik3r:
Actually this is everything I use in Lumos from this DLL at least :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] sunstorage:
OK. Thank you once again for your help.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] kuwait:
Hi nik3r

Grate graph page. I can translate to Bulgarian language if necessary. Also I may test the beta version of your grate program if you need more testers. (I use V09 presently)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nik3r:
Translations

A little news flash:

Lumos beta2 is out for people who volunteered and were chosen for translating it to their language.

The list of assigned translations (and owners of Lumos v10 pre-release :p) is in this post

When the guys are done translating I will release RC1 version to general public and after a while (after we gather even more translations and weed out bugs) it's final :p

Still if there's someone interested in translating to an unassigned language (like Italian for example), send me a private message and get your hands on the beta :D

For the unlucky rest, there are updates in post #2 changelog so you can see what to expect. Faster loading, more battery and brand new backlight modes to do anything you ever could have wanted to do with your backlight :)

Today after release of new SyncManager and Lumos beta2, I'm just going to enjoy my well earned rest...
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] IceEyz:
Just saw this quote, as I was about to post the following:

Hey, I've recently found out that my main problem with G-Light and LUMOS is the simple fact that:

My Lightsensor reports

values up to 2000

,

yet these programs can't handle anything higher than 999.

My stock Blackstone Touch HD really reports these values and the default automatic backlight-adjustments work perfectly.

Ow, and if you'd like, I can translate to Dutch, while testing the new 4-digit design :).
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] cybermaus:
Nice program, thanks.

I had to hard-reset (*not* due to this program) and when rebuilding I realized this program has become a necessity for me. Hence I donate a few beers, coffee, muffins, whatever.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Crusader:
Hello,

thanks for your great work. I still have a problem with the latest version. When I am trying to set up Lumos, the sensor still show 0 (auto backlight is disabled and sensor i not covered), no matter if the sensor is in dark or under the daylight. So I am not able to set the program. When I switch back to system auto backlight, sensor is working without any problem. My ROM is WWE_EastEurope_1.14.479.3 (device HD Blackstone). Any advise, pls.?

EDIT: after uninstalled TF3D tweak program works. So no more issue :)

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] X2D:
I am not 100% sure but after doing massive testing and trying to rule out different programs, I think this breaks 6.5's titanium on my fuze. I hope not but maybe someone else can confirm/deny.

As soon as I reboot my device after installing this titanium no longer functions.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nik3r:
Weird, even if that happens (which I seriously doubt as it doesn't change your registry except switching the auto-backlight from 1 to 0), it should get fixed if you uninstall Lumos. If it doesn't, you most likely have the wrong culprit ;)

I yet have to try WM 6.5 so if you can 100% confirm or deny this I would be glad.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] X2D:
I have a backup saved and I will be doing some testing because from the point of my backup (100% working how I want it to), and installing this app should tell us whether or not somewhere there is something conflicting with it - which boggles my mind because like you said it shouldn't.

edit: Yea this app somehow interferes with titanium and I don't know why, when I first tried running the wizard (before soft resetting once) it popped up a similar message to what you would see if you didn't have .NET installed which I do so I soft reset, everything came back titanium seemed to work again without even doing anything just soft-reset so I ran the wizard and it successfully ran and I configured it to my settings and just for good measure I soft reset again and now titanium isn't working. I have showaco's modifications setup so that could be it but I dunno, going to revert back to my backup now just thought I would share my experience.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nik3r:
Ok thanks, I will put up a warning in first post, unfortunatelly I can't debug it until I flash some WinMo 6.5 ROM myself and since this ROM is 2 days freshly tweaked and I am quite busy I don't think it will be any time soon ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] X2D:
I'm going to be testing this more when I get home after a fresh install without any customization of chrome.dll I am going to install lumos, it could just be a combination of things or even hardware related that I'm experiencing but I can't pin point any particular application thus far. My experience is as follows: I have a backup saved of a semi-working (when I say semi, the lock screen randomly bugs out) so my input is really half-assed as far as determining whether or not this is the actual cause of titanium breaking.

I wish I could just get past titanium / new lock screen and be happy with this ROM but I am trying to figure out what is and what isn't breaking it. Have done many many many soft and hard resets hope my phone doesn't die on me lol.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nik3r:
It should be fine, from what I know it can only die if you flash too often and the ROM has a latent defect. ;)
