I am looking for a program that will flash just the screen. When the ringer is off. It does not matter the color but it would be nice. I am running orignal stock ROM. Anything like this out there? Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi all,
New here, but had my HTC touch pro for a while now. Just got a couple of questions you guys might be able to help me out with.
When I got my HTC Touch pro I installed the Diamond TF3D Config tool and installed the HTC Blueish Black TP Full CasMO theme, as I wanted to get rid of the Vodafone branding to get it looking more like the orginal HTC touch pro theme.
What I want to know now is, is there any theme that is better than the HTC Blueish Black TP Full CasMO theme that looks more like the original? or of a way to get my voda touch pro more like it would do in its original format?
Before I get flamed, I have looked at the search function, but theres so much information Its hard to follow it all.
Thanks to anyone that helps.
I have a copy of it somewhere. It is one here, but it was incredibly hard to find as you've said as there is sooooo much on manila. I'll see if I can dig it out for you.
That would be great if you could Allen, big thanks.
Also anyone got any power saving tips? My original battery doest last more than 2 days so I bought another official HTC one and that has went the same way
2 days of battery life is pretty good depending on your usage like 3g turned on,bluetooth,watching videos,playing music etc.
i charge mine every day,but i use it intensivly
I have found it, but was unable to upload it for some reason. The file was called tlr-manila.cab
i highly reccomend flashing a new 6.5 ROM. for instance NRG's 60109 3.0 series works like a charm with a whole new interface and much more options than original TF3D with the look of a normal touch pro :] sorry to deviate from the purpose of the thread but this is the easiest way to do so (without the grueling search) if you need help feel free to pm me :]
I am using CoreDroid ROM, which I absolutely love, but I like stock weather lock screen better than the one that comes with the ROM. Does anyone know how to change just that part? I do not want to change anything else, as I said, I absolutely love the ROM.
Thanks for any help in advance!
This is my third refurbished Nexus S 4g in two weeks!!!
Does anybody screen looked washed out? When I see my screen my greys look faded, my greens are dull, etc... Is there anyway I can fix this without going to the sprint store? I'm really tire of going there.
Well, it would help to know if you're stock or rooted. If you're stock you could try rooting and installing a custom kernel and adjusting the colors with voodoo control app until they look good. There's a thread in themes & apps with some good starting points for settings. Or you can go back to sprint. If you are rooted then see my first suggestion above. My screen looks pretty beautiful.

I'm rooted now... I just fixed it using Voodoo... Thank anyway.
Hello,
I have had a UK Vodafone Sensation for about a year and decided to get one that had been rooted to play with. I got it off ebay. It was really really good other than battery life ,,,, and then I spotted that the softkeys (the four buttons at the bottom of the phone) are permanently on ... unless I turn the phone right off.
When the phone arrived it had 4EXT with ICE and Sense and it was only come the evening of the second day I spotted why battery life was not good!! I tried various thing - Screen Filter, Juice Defender and other bits and pieces and then saw the AOKP Jelly Bean ROM and decided I'd start from scratch .. well almost. I'd also noticed that it said the phone type was Sensation XE.
I replaced 4EXT with CWM and flashed the AOKP Jelly Bean ROM. All went according to plan considering I'm a 63 year old noobie!! Well OK until I saw the softkeys were still illuminated all the time unless I turned the phone off. I'd got my apps and contacts on the SD card and installed the purchased version of APEX Pro that I'd been using on my non rooted phone. No amount of changes to anything I can thikn of turns them off ... but my phone does now say it's a SENSATION rather than a SENSATION XE.
I've run the battery flat and started afresh with it newly charged which has increased battery life but with these darn softkeys lit up it will never be good..
I have thought of taking it into a shop where they mainly deal with smashed screens all day long and see if it is possible to have the led backlight for the softkeys removed. I've looked at any amount of youtube videos and they all stop short of showing me the bit I want to see!! If the keys don't work afterwards its no drama as I can put 'Navigation' keys at the bottom of the screen from the ROM.
Any ideas anybody?? Your help and advice will be much appreciated.

Hi Ganeshp. I tired to install gscript lite when I was running ICS. I managed it this time by reading what it actually said to do!!! lol.
Unfortunately even though it seemed to install ok and I ran the scripts ok it wouldn't actually get fully running before saying it had stopped. It seems other had had a similar experience. I tried various reboots etc and it still wouldn't run which is a shame as it really looked like it was the answer.
Thanks again but unfortunately I'm still looking for an answser,
Phil
Would it have anything to do with kernel setup? Just a thought. I don't know enough to actually advise you, but your led issue may be linked to the kernel.
some roms have the option built in to disable the capacitive buttons backlight, by using tweaks. ViperS rom has it built in, or you could download LeeDroid/Darkforest tweaks in the dev section. theres an option in the tweaks to disable the backlight. give that a shot before having someone look at it

Hello and thanks for the last two replies, I'll check out LeeDroid Darkforest tweak and it would be good is somebody could describe the Tasker method in this topic, We're off on holiday for 3 weeks tomorrow and will be taking my old faithful Nokia N95 so if this isn't sorted by tmw I'll go back to it when I get back.

I've been trying a couple of things from elsewhere on this site and still no joy. Tried tasker and rootdim but still no joy.
I couldn't see how to download LeeDroid/Darkforest tweaks ... only saw the option to flash a new rom and I don't really want to do that. If I could download just the tweaks I'd be willing to try that but not the full package.
Tks again for your help ... holiday tomorrow and I think I'll have to leave this until after I come back.

LeeDroid tweaks and Darkforest tweaks are both for Sense 3.6 roms. ViperS is Sense 4 so these wouldnt work with that rom, but tweaks are already built in to it
LeeDroid= 3.32 base firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24535142&postcount=5
Darkforest= 3.33 base firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30132538&postcount=5
Can't you just do that by going into android settings and setting the backlight duration to never. OR You can install Total screen control from Android market. Go onto settings> softkeys backlight and click disable backlight. Then you have to select a screen filter value at which to disable softkeys backlight eg. 50% value. Your phone's backlight should turn off when your screen filter value is set to 50%. You have to be rooted for this to work.

Hello and thanks to all who have replied. I'm now back from holiday and have tried all the things mentioned in this thread and they are either not available for my phone or they install ok but don't do what it says on the box. I'm going to try the ViperS ROM now and see if the tweak it seems to have for turning on/off the capacative lights works.
Tks.

Hello everyone,( oh and please move this if there is a more appropriate location for my questions) I have recently gotten into romming due to the just... eww of the stock tmobile t679's well... everything...
what am I running now? I was swapping around a few different roms and have settled down on two I like pretty well which are pacman for jellybean 4.2 and baked blackbean 4.2. At this exact moment I'm on the baked. I have a couple questions about some customizations I'd like to do (basically have done for me so I can just apply them as I am not really talented in the ways of photo manipulation) and one question about hardware buttons.
Starting with the hardware buttons, the one thing I miss from the stock rom is the "touch light duration" feature, as being on a samsung with hardware touch buttons I have come to enjoy leaving the lights on as long as my screen is active. Is there still a way to do this? on ANY rom, or could there be some work around? I really don't like the soft button idea as they take up too much of my screen. (yes I have tried it) Please and thank you for any advice on that front.
Now on to the fun and colorful part. I very much enjoy the cm10 bootanimation and I've seen a couple images of it in other colors. What I would like, if someone was so awesome as to put it together for me a custom color changing version with my name in the middle. I can pull up the image with the colors I like if anyone decides to tackle this. (I know how to apply the new bootanimation, just need it made)
The other thing I would like to change is my boot splash, not that I don't love what the custom rommers out there have made for all of us to enjoy, but the team insomnia logo just isn't my cup of tea. I would love something a bit more... purple and girly. Again I have an image in mind if anyone wants to make it into an easily flashable or otherwise installable format. I have no idea how to do this one.
Please and thank you for anyone who can help me out =)

well one person's stock trash is another one's stock treasure =p as far as the buttons go, I was on cm and I didn't find an option for it, but I still could have missed it and it was staring right at me. Thanks for the reply

Edit: Found this https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-1979
"With CM10.1 can adjust the TouchKey light duration and this setting is missing in CM10.2"

Found smore proof from a CM10 rom
"Settings>display>touch key light duration>off"

yeah I think I was on higher than 10.1 and that was the problem, anyway yes please if you feel like making me a boot animation =)
PM me for details as I cannot post links just yet
I just went back and tried 10.1 again and still don't see a way to change button light duration. Oh well, I have the stuff I want for my bootanimation on my fb already as well as what I'd like for a bootsplash image, so send me a message and I'll link you up. =)
