[Q] Adjust lockscreen timeout (NSCollab/CM7) - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know how to adjust the lockscreen timeout?
Once the phone is locked and you turn the screen on it goes black again after 5 seconds.
The reason why I need to change it is because I have assigned a lock gesture to turn on the flashlight. When the screen goes black so does the flashlight.
Apart from other people asking the same question (with no answers) I found this thread a thread for HTC EVO 4G (MIUI rom).

Unfortunately I dont have the balls to try it out on my phone.

Backlight dimm and lock screen

Hi
i'm running wm6.5 on my raphael and i've got a problem:
when the screen is automatically locked, the screen dimm to save power. fine
but even if i unlock it, the screen is keeped dimmed.
i have to press the power button to get the screen bright again
i've found in Advanced config in the screen section an option: "Backlight lock level " but when i try to change it, after a soft reset, the value is not saved...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Check to see if your backlight is set to auto adjust in your Power settings.
there is a bug in WM6.5... autolock and/or the auto dim is causing this problem(for me too)... i disabled autolock, and the problem's gone...
use S2U2 or something else
yep but i've got some problem with the last version of s2u2... i wasn't able to answer
i asked the same question few days ago in teh NRG rom thread - basically it was suggested to me to use a different program other than adv config to setup the autolock - searchn the forum for an app called 'Smartlock' - ive installed version 1.6 and it seems to work
only thing is it ignores slideshows (i.e. will dim and lock while viewing slideshow), slightly annoying but no biggy

screen lock issue

Hi guys
I have an maybe simple question but havent find anything satisfying.
The thing is, that I don't like the Lock Screen when turn off my Desire. With the Extended Control and some other apps its simple to disable the lock screen, but from there on all hardware keys (home, back, volume, ...) turn on the device, which is not really what I want.
So my question is, is it generally possible to disable the screen lock and just use the power-button to wake the device.
I currently use the LeeDroid Mod v1.4. The standard behavior is the same like obove with disabled screen lock. I found to disable it I just have to remove /system/usr/keylayout/curcial-oj.kl. Worked great with enabled screen lock.
Modifying the other *.kl files doesn't help.
Hopefully you understand what I mean
and could give me some hints
bye

Lock Screen Help

I have been playing with my Hero mods all day, and have a new question that I a sure has a simple answer, it is just escaping me finding it On my lock screen, I have two "slider" buttons.. One is to unlock the screen, the other is to change the ringer/vibrate/silent controls. I have accidentally turned off the ringer w/o knowing it via sliding the ringer/vibrate/silent controls while it was in my pocket. How do i change the lock screen so that slider is not present?
I am using CM6.1 w/ADW Launcher on a Sprint Hero (CDMA). The slider buttons go from right to left and left to right (not up or down).
Any help on this issue is helpful.... Also, in addition to how to change/remove it, is the issue related to CM6 or ADW? Thanks!
Wrong section. -1 for you. And as for your question, I don't think you can do that.

[Q] duration of backlight on hardware keys

hi there, could some one help me work out how to control the duration of the bottom touch capacitive keys on my lg p920 3d, as they only stay on for 6 or 7 sec i need them to stay on while im using it,as at night its just not possible to know where the keys are!my old lg p970 black had it and the led lights would stay on really dim but enough to see them,so if you can post a link or know of a app that can do this let me know
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216824
It will keep the LEDs on while the screen is on. And it can do some other stuff.
But it is not possible to reduce the brightness of LEDs.
Over the time you will find yourself remembering the position of the 4 keys and maybe the function to reduce the timeout of 6s to lower values will come in handy

[Q] Lock Screen Timeout with XenonHD

As it currently stands, if I were to press the power button on my phone to turn on the screen, the screen turns off within 5~10 seconds if I don't unlock my phone. This is annoying if I'm checking notifications or something, because it just checks for an unlock, not user input. If I'm looking through my notifications and sliding on the screen, it'll still timeout. Is there any way to change this value?
The only option I know of is Settings > Display > Sleep, but that's once the screen's been unlocked and there's been no activity, I'm talking about the timeout directly on the lockscreen.
Ever thought about asking that in the ROM thread?
