Has any progess been made on this? The brightness hack is a blessing in the dark, I often flash this at night.

Was the only way to get it so dark was to add all of the extra brightness steps? Is there a way to just make the lowest of the stock brightness steps this dark?

The mixup kernel seems to have lowered the brightness some, but it still isn't dark enough for my taste. I would love to see a solution where I could still use automatic brightness and have it dark on the lowest brightness setting.

Thanks for coming up with this btw, it has been handy!
[Epic 4G Android Development] eater99999:
This tool could be used to change the color temperature as well as the brightness, to provide an effect like F.lux, am I right?

At this point I'd love to see even a couple of manually insertable tables or pre_scales to play around with -- has anyone created a custom one yet apart from Linuxuberant's original curve?
[Epic 4G Android Development] sd180:
great!

wow- Great work! The screen always uses most battery for me so this is HUGE.

Any thoughts on how to get rid of the notification brightness slider function? That is still a major annoyance and causing battery life to be very short because I'm accidentally change brightness everytime I pull down the menu.

(Preemption: Yes guys, I've read the forums. The postings do not have a solution in them. I'm just checking...)
[Epic 4G Android Development] n80k:
sd180,

i haven't tried it but uninstalling Brightness.apk should do the trick

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=773142
[Epic 4G Android Development] sd180:
Thanks for the link. Disappointingly, this solution no longer works. It's been well documented that it does not since D18. I think the link you posted says as much.

If anyone knows a solution for disabling the brightness control from the notification bar, do share! =)
[Epic 4G Android Development] imwillzillla:
flashing this doesn't fix the brightness or the blue tint? Or it doesn't disable brightness control? I'm confused. Also how do we type all of that stuff on op? No clear way of what to do after flashing it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sd180:
Hi- not sure what u mean by flashing... but so far, I have not come across any way of getting rid of the the screen brightness control from the notification pull down. This includes using the community roms. Not sure what ure talking about in terms of the brightness exactly or the blue tint.

This minimum screen brightness fix DOES work but that's for lowering minimum screen brightness threshold. That's different from disabling the notification bar's brightness control.

To install this minimum screen brightness fix, just download it onto ur sd card and flash from clockwork.

There's no extra typing steps or terminal work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sd180:
Bump. :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] sd180:
Arg! This is in the leaked 2.2 also!! *pulls hair out*
[Epic 4G Android Development] omair2005:
If you have Extended Control, you can have custom brightness and add 8 steps for the brightness...
[Epic 4G Android Development] sd180:
Thanks for the tip omair.

Sadly, that really doesn't slove the problem because the brightness setting from the notification pulldown actually over rides those settings. Ie. I'll still accidentally change the brightness when I pull down my notifications.

I can of course then change it back down through various widgets but that's what I'm trying to avoid.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ecooce:
Video brightness?

Is there a way to change the brightness of videos played from the sdcard,it is at a default brigtness with no controls to change?
[Epic 4G Android Development] quasi8:
I just came from 2.1 and now really miss this mod I don't know how to incorporate it into the DK17 kernel. If someone could make a version for DK17 it would be greatly appreciated.
[Epic 4G Android Development] fastmikey1969:
I would love that to, just waiting for samsung to release froyo kernel source
[Epic 4G Android Development] J31Rob:
Reup for DK28? Just realized how often my phone jumps from 0% brightness to >50% without me doing a thing..
[Epic 4G Android Development] billecorgan:
I have also had this problem and I'm like wtf?
[Epic 4G Android Development] byransays:
to my knowledge they cant remake this for DK28 yet because the source of the froyo kernel has not been released so no custom kernels can be made yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
Wellll this work on dk28 leak?
[Epic 4G Android Development] tonysohn:
Probably not. One needs to modify the kernel itself, but since we do not have the kernel source for DK28 yet......... you know what I'm going to say.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xan:
God this is awesome.

I wish I could understand the code behind that, anyway:

Its possible to do a frontend for this.

Total user control over gamma, full screen calibration with sliders - you name it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] n80k:
i had read thru this thread a while ago and i finally found something that worked but i didn't see it mentioned here. download "screen filter" ... it's a free app that reduces your screen brightness to anything want.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kynetx:
Holy crap, that's an awesome app. It has Tasker support too!
[Epic 4G Android Development] SINNN:
very nice! I love this kernal! Brightness is low! No more dark shades at night! Only issue is that this don't overclock! It would be 0perfect! Does anyone know if there's a kernel with this light tweaks but with overcloking abilities?
[Epic 4G Android Development] gokuman56:
Does this still work? with the latest Syndicate ROM? or is this only for Eclair/2.1?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
No. The code has changed, this is no longer implementable.
[Epic 4G General] asj2583:
is there anyway to install stock android browser on the epic? i believe it's better than the one on the epic or is it the same?
[Epic 4G General] panthar:
Try asking in the general section -- this forum is for development threads like ROMs, kernels, and other projects
[Epic 4G General] Firon:
Our browser is stock. And yes, this belongs in General.
[Epic 4G General] Mutiny32:
It's stock, but oddly enough, Sptint, Facebook, and Google's mobile sites ALL identify it as an Intercept. I call that laziness. And also probably the reason for a lot of problems.
[Epic 4G General] wjohnson1186:
Threw dolphin hd browser is awesome.
[Epic 4G General] infamousjax:
what problems do you speak of? works fine for me!
[Epic 4G General] asj2583:
My bad for posting the wrong section. If a mod can please move. Anyone knows how to remove the zoom buttons on the bottom of the browser or maybe a tweaked apk a dev could make to remove them? There so dam anoying! Btw can the evo browser be installed on the epic?
[Epic 4G General] HipHopIsLyfe37:
Really? Because it thinks mine in an Xperia X10 lol. I'm rooted with the Epic Eperience ROM
[Epic 4G General] asj2583:
Tried to install the evo browser but it force closes
[Epic 4G General] shortyboy:
i too 2nd dolphin browser..by far the best browser for the epic.
[Epic 4G General] relic419:
Stock browser is good, but if you want, what I think might be the fastest android browser (sans server side rendering a la opera mini), then I highly suggest the new xscope browser. It looks great too.

[Epic 4G General] helchez:
I just downloaded the dolphin hd browser and it is awesome. Just wish those menus didn't slide in when I scroll left or right.
[Epic 4G General] asj2583:
Any of the browsers above support some kind of flash

Here's a Screen
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
I am happy to present the Hero X, which is a port of the Evo Nonsense Rom (Droid-X theme) for CM6, with a few modifications.

I have also included a download for the Wallpapers. As always I'm not responsible for anything as you flash at your own risk. If your phone becomes self aware and starts looking for energon then please don't blame me:rolleyes:.

I want to give thanks to everybody from the Cyanogenmod crew for their awesome Rom. Big thanks to tjohnsonjr for the Evo Nonsense Rom. Thanks to Magnus Ragnarok for all his help and some of his style.

Downloads:

1) [Rom] Hero-X 1.0.5-

(Disabled Rom link due to known issues. Rom is said to have wifi and facebook sync broken and some complained about busy box errors, switched to theme instead for stabilty).

Be careful that you set your google apps not to update automatically or you might overwrite your current themed apps!

2) [Theme] Hero-X Theme V2 (Added themed Mms.apk and new facebook.apk)-Flash over CM6 stable.

3) [Theme] Hero-X 2.2.1 Nightly Theme-This is based on the newest nightly 2010-10-19

4) [XML] Hero X-xml (For theme colors I use)

Edit: No need to flash gapps. gapps are installed.

5) Hero X data/apps that were in the Rom

adb wireless

always flash

Blink

Astro

Verizon Nfl app

As of now, the number being used is no longer valid. Download the version of the NFL-Unlocker that pertains to your computer below and unzip, and read the directions to change the number associated with the NFL app. You must get a valid Verizon number to use this whether it be from a display phone at a Verizon store:

NFL-Unlocker-x64

NFL-Unlocker-x86

animated weather

custom Tikl ptt

Road sms

divx player

set install location

themed Linkpush

and a few others

* Droid X boot animation is fully functional (sorry, no sound). If anyone knows how to get boot animation audio to work, let me know.

*Added pull down status bar from "Nonsense

*Added Font from the Finisher Rom.

6) Default Droid X wallpaper

7) Collection of Droid wallpapers.

8) Other Droid X LWP-lwp's do work on Cm6, but a select few, don't know if these do or not.

9) *Red themed Mms (Messaging app-icon is red.)

Edit: No need to wipe, but please do a nandroid backup before anything.

Two other cool wallpapers: Post 111

[Hero CDMA Android Development] joehunni:
Nice work, Id be happy to test.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
So what're the advantages of this over CM6?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kyhassen:
i will try to test some, im having some serious issues with CM6, i prefer the NFX rom, but it keeps crashing constently. so i need something new.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
Im down to test the rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
like trying new stuff out..when it gets uploaded i will let you know how it is. Like a question above whats the difference between this and CM6?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
Not really any advantages, but someone asked me to do this for their hero for the look mostly. nothing like what you do. I see your stuff, especially the Black and gold. it's basically a theme a ported and made a Rom, but I used Cm6, because i didn't want to mess with the sense and it was the only 2.2 Rom without sense that I've seen. I didn't want to give a 2.1 Rom, but My internet just cutout while I was at 67%, so I have to re upload again. Versions will go up one after another.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Ok cool man, just wondering :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
so is this a froyo rom or 2.1? and sense or non-sense?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
I am going to do what i did on Magnus Ragnarok's finisher rom. I ported his 2.1 to 2.2 because everyone kept asking and I didn't know he was working on a new one, but like I said it's hard for me to work on my wife's hero when she's at work or I'm at work and she won't let me hold on to it, so to anyone who wants to test, just download when the links are up and tell me what I need to do.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
froyo. It's Cm6 with the droid X theme built in (hopefully).
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
cool..what kernel is this build gunna have? Also whats the clock speed on this build? And with your work so far have you seen how good the battery life is with this build?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
This is only stock cm6, so whatever the battery life is then that's it. I have Snap turbo on my Evo, but i hadn't thought of adding a kernel. I'm sure whatever is compatible with Cm6 will work. I didn't change anything except the theme, I hope but hdpi to mdpi is difficult.

edit: links might be up tomorrow. i'm on my neighbors wifi and it literally says that Version 1 will be uploaded in 2 hours and 15 minutes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
thats cool...cant wait man
[Hero CDMA Android Development] t12icky0:
sorry for double posting...wats the ETA for the links to be up? im actually excited about this. i like all the themes we have but this theme would be just awsome!:D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
What exactly does this look like?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
You mean what is it supposed to look like? Ah-ha, I'm going to try and flash these on my wife's hero when she gets home. my internet is so slow, I probably have to wait till tommorrow to upload, so I'll try to get more hands on tonight but it's just a Droid X look alike built in to the rom. just fun nothing complicated, but if I get it going i'll update and tinker with the rom a little more.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
:P I think I meant what does the Droid X "look" look like? Did a quick google search, it looks like Vanilla Android to me? @_@
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
It looks like the "Nonsense" Rom for the Evo.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
Flashed all four and got loops. Tomorrow gonna fix.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tiffany84:
Same error. This is the 4th time I wiped for nothing.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
the Impaler said he got it to work with the unofficial OC Darchstar recovery. Try that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tiffany84:
Got it. Switched from amon to clockwork and it worked.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tiffany84:
Question, is the messaging app supposed to be red like the rest because its green?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
are you talking about the icon?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tiffany84:
Can u help me figure out how to get the colors though? I did what u said but its not showing up when I try to select a theme.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
Did you put it on the root of your sd without putting it in a folder?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Make sure it's in a folder called CMThemes
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
Man, you're right. My bad, I forgot when I went in to get it I thought I was on the root. Thanks for the help Impaler.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Not a problem man :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cmyasika1:
trying darchstar recovery. hopefully works. didn't got error. trying cm heroc recovery image
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Should work, never had a problem with that recovery :D

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cmyasika1:
another busybox error
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cmyasika1:
could connect on v2 but not the update. Any Ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] makatomotors:
i flashed over the cm6 w/o wipe. got the busy box error, but just rebooted system anyways.. seems to be working though

i also noticed that the message icon was green :P can you change it to red?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
yes, I will.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
Can everyone who installed successfully try the wifi and tell me if you can connect, please?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tiffany84:


I made a folder and named it CMThemes and its still not showing up. The only thing that shows up is stock and stock black.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
CMTheme...not CMThemes
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cmyasika1:
Still can't connect to either wifi or network. I got it to connect with V2 loaded? Confused
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
Red themed Mms (Messaging app-icon is red.) http://www.multiupload.com/YLJJWFKH1G for those that wanted it. Just download and push through adb. Next update will have it included.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cmyasika1:
Still can't connect with update. tried three different recoveries and I still can't connect with the update. Please help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
Hey Impaler, can u try the wifi on this Rom and tell me if it connects?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Pyr0TeK:
I tried flashing both of the released .zips and got busybox errors on both when copying files during the flash. I am running the v.1.6.2 recovery image on my Hero. Back to CM6.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
Try the newest clockwork or darch recovery
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
Is anyone wants to download this Rom and help me figure out how to fix the busy box error it would be appreciated. Or if someone can tell me what files I need to remove to remove busy box completely from the Rom while it's being cooked?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
I would man, I just generally stick with CM6+my theme :) Did you recompile the wlan.ko? I would do that if wifi doesn't work
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
Dude, I only changed the pngs. I didn't even touch anything that would f up the wifi. That's why I need other people to tell me if their getting the same errors, because I don't have service on my hero only my evo.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Well you can still use wifi, even without service :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bigel:
i'm having busybox trouble as well....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
Ok thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cmyasika1:
any luck getting cdma hero to connect to network? I still can't connect
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
I have a fix. I will upload tonight.

I must have broke something, but now I'm onto something.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
Do you have link to the Hero X version that had the working wifi?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] makatomotors:
Ok ill try it tomm sometime! Thanks. I'm also having issues with received mms but that prolly isn't the theme :p

Sent from my HERO - X
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rogerbean101:
Is it possible to not have all that red? i got rid of the fonts
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
That's part of the port. You could edit the pngs yourself. Probably the quickest way and most hassle-free.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] cmyasika1:
Found fix for network issue. Download network.fix_signed.zip from stock sprint ROM download at ppcGeeks website. but still no wi-fi.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cmyasika1:
I have it downloaded
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
I still don't get why you didn't just skin Vanilla CM6 rather than build the ROM from the ground up.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
Please upload and pm me with link.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
Liquid Solstice: What does it matter?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
Everybody who's having problems, know that I will fix it. I am working on it and having someone more knowledgeable help me. Thank you for your patience. I'm at work now, so I will work on it in a few hours.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] vayman:
No worries bro, personal life first always.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
Thanks man.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
....oh, I don't know, stability? No issues? No offense, I understand undertaking building a ROM is hard work, but I think your considerable talents would be much more efficiently spent creating a device-wide theme for a ROM that is extremley popular, well supported, feature-complete and very stable.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
You are right, but I'm learning as i go still. sorry dude.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
I'm gonna try it your way tonight when i get home. Thanks for the advice.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
And I applaud and appreciate your effort :). I think it's great what you want to do and I wish you the best of luck. I just think you'd have far more success skinning CM6 so that way you can focus on all the Droid visuals that you're after and you won't have to deal with any of the ROM issues that you have now. Plus, I know people like Impaler and Signals23 are happy to dish out theme advice when asked, since both are CM6-themers and are very good at what they do.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with, and great work :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah, theming is nice! I'll be more than happy to help some with theming :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rogerbean101:
And how would i be able to do that?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dlw33096:
The is great a theme :)

what build are you on now, I have 1.0.4 now. It looks and act great, loving it. The only issue I have is that facebook connacts wont sync, it wont even let me add the account.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
I'm working on uploading the theme itself. It should fix all issues. Thanx
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
Everybody, I am uploading the theme now. It has wifi and everything should be fixed. Everything that was included is in the zip except for the data/apps. I'll upload a zip (not flashable) that you can unzip and install the apps through Astro or something.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
Hero-X flashable theme is on page one: http://www.multiupload.com/EJN01YFMG9. No need to download Rom, just flash over CM6 stable.

I mush not be dong something right. Can you tell me what to flash first, I don't mind starting over to get this to work.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Redjp85:
Nice theme, but maps and polar clock r the only lwps not f/c'ing on me. Big fan of nexus lwp from the finisher Rom. Other than that its good and good lookin. Thx!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Redjp85:
Oh yea, I forgot to mention I flashed theme over cm6 stable.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
which theme version did you flash? The first two Version are for the cyanogenmod 6 stable and the third version is for the cm6 nightly 96
[Hero CDMA Android Development] abu_noah:
yeah, Lwp's in general do not work good for cm6 on the hero. Try flashing the cm6 nightly and then the theme for the nightly. the newest nightlies are based on the 2.2.1 android, maybe that will help.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dlw33096:
I did a fresh flash of cm6 stable, then

1) [Rom] Hero-X 1.0.5-Removed apps that were paid apps per instruction of Moderator.

(Rom is said to have wifi and facebook sync broken and some complained about busy box errors, but theme below is fine)

or is that the wrong order...I went back to my backup CM6 Extremely Blue. I tried a few time and still couldnt really get facebook to sync to my conntacts.
