thanks I was trying everything to install I had the same issue wit the button, an disabled screen filter and bam good looking man

"Brightness Adjuster" was the problem in my case

Hi guys! I have the same problem - seems like every brightness control application in some way interferes with the other apps and I can't install APK files anymore.
I've tried Screen Filter, Dimmer (Night Mode), Brightness widget and nothing - if I install any of them I can't install APK from dropbox/sd card. Why is that so?!
My phone is LG L5 II and the minimum brightness is too bright, so I really need some kind of application, which controls the screen brightness.
What do you think? How can I have them both - brightness control app + working installation of APK files?

Screen filter apps work by installing a layer, so to speak, on TOP of your viewable screen. This is NOT a bug, it is how it works. To resolve this issue just change your screen filter ( generally for low light environment and night viewing) to Chainfire's app, "CFlumen" and you're done.

you gotta wait for fre3dom to use LCD density, or dont reboot with temp root and hope the spare parts settings stick...

Im using spareparts plus. And it works decent. Yes it will revert on reboot. But I just open the app back up and just choose large for the font and then back out of the app. Sense will take about 3 to 5 seconds to adjust. Afterwards the font will be large. Also I turn off the auto rotation in display settings because if you rotate the phone while spareparts plus is activated it will revert back to stock. But I keep a short cut to spareparts plus and display settings on my home screen to make it a little easier. You can find the app on the android market "spareparts plus" Also it has no ads and is a decent work around until root. Well hope this helps.

[APK] Dialer Shortcut (for missing lockscreen dialer shortcuts)

Ran into the issue where the lockscreen shortcut wasn't showing the Phone in the list. It was kind of pissing me off, so I made a simple app that will simply launch the Phone app. That's it. It's just a shortcut essentially.
Install as a regular APK.
I've named it "Phone" in the app drawer and gave it the same icon (as seen in screenshots below). I can rename it to like Dialer or something if you guys prefer to be able to distinguish it, but I'm sure this will do the trick for the majority who have this issue.
Works great thanks! It was pissing me off too after flashing ROMs it would dissappear

[APP] / [HOW TO] Touch Key Lights

Okay, Touch key lights too bright on your G2X? Two ways to fix this... First, the app, which is easiest for most people:
-------------
(note: This is NOT my app. Just sharing it with you guys)
LG Optimus 2x touch key lights
Little tool for LG Optimus 2x & G2x phones only that allows the user to change the touch key lights brightness levels. The desired brightness level can then be set up on startup.
Root access is not needed except for the new G2x Gingerbread update.
Warning, this application is not and will not be compatible with touch key notifications mechanisms.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.guenmat.android.optimus2x
-----------
The other is the TECHIE way... by changing the value directly! You can change the touch key brightness FROM THE SHELL with the following command:
Code:
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/star_touch_led/wled
.
Possible values are 1-20, where 20 is the brightest. Though honestly 15-20 all looked the same to me. You can set higher, but I'm not sure if it is safe for your touch keys. 0 would be OFF.
Now, you can type that in through adb shell, but you'd lose it when you reboot. So, if you have a Rom that supports init.d scripts, you can add it at the end of one of the scripts in /system/etc/init.d.
If you don't have init.d scripts, you can also use TASKER with the LOCAL EXECUTE plugin. If you do, make sure to put a ! in front of the command so it executes as root.
I know, sparse, but I had to figure this out on my own and now you don't.
here is an app that does the same thing as the one you said PLUS it makes your 4 touch led lights blink when you have a missed called, mms, and gmail (hello notification lights)
https://market.android.com/details?...2xtouchlednotifications&feature=search_result
you dont need root access for froyo but you need it for GB
Interesting, is there a similar app that makes it so the lights are always on (dimmed, of course)?
This has been out for a while. The Custom Roms have this built in at a kernel level so it doesn't always run in the background and drain your batteries like a mofo.

well i haven't found it for weapon g2x if it has it on the kernel :/ , so i am using that app, is also great for someone that is running a stock gb rooted, like the 2.3.4 that is running arround

Actually, the ONLY custom Rom I've noticed that had anything close was MIUI (which you're using). In MIUI, the touchkey brightness was linked to screen brightness, all the way down to the lowest setting where it would be off. Nice, but not helpful to those of us who don't like the rest of the bugs present in MIUI. Also, I haven't seen any battery drain from this...

Good to have choices. I tried that one first. I didn't see the option to just change brightness, and I don't really want the notifications. I guess which one you choose depends on what you need.

Thanks. Ill try them both. I like the flashing buttons for notification option
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
i like this app!
If you're using a stock rom you can always go into LG's hidden menu and adjust the touch LED brightness. Using your dial pad dial 1809#*999# and it will open the hidden menu. From there select Device Test and then scroll all the way down and select Touch LED Brightness. Adjust the slider and you're good to go. You can do this whether or not you're rooted. The only catch is that it resets when you reboot the phone so you have to do it again with each reboot.

Defeat that annoying dim browser!

I've created a way to bypass the "undefeatable" screen dimming when browsing the internet. I've attached a modded version of Chrome that will not dim when launched on the SGS4. This is only the first step in a full solution, as this app will not receive updates from the Play Store. This APK can be installed side-by-side with the official app.
What I did was rename the application itself in the manifest and then resign the APK. Pretty simple and a good proof of concept that the way the phone knows to dim is based on a specific list of apps that it checks. The next step to a full solution is to find out where this list is and kill it. I doubt it's in the kernel itself, but I'm not fully ruling that out yet. I'll keep digging for you guys, but at least we have a workaround for the moment.

Doesn't seem to work for me. When i start the browser it is brighter for about half a seconde after that it dims again.

Why don't you use the browser brightness setting?
Are you sure you're launching the modded Chrome and not the market one? I haven't modded "Internet" yet, but I plan on doing that too once this is verified by a few people. I've tried mine off a few reboots now and it's still sticking.
danielps23 said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Because there is a dimming "feature" built into the stock ROM somewhere that dims both Internet and Chrome when auto-brightness is disabled and you have the brightness set to max. This is completely independent of the other power saving features and happens even if power saving is disabled.
Works perfectly for me, if your phone gets to hot it'll dim also to prevent over heating

CM10.1 - Little bugs and Questions

Hi, I´ve made this thread so that we don´t bother in the Devs section.
Last night I´ve flashed CM10.1 by Team Canjica - Nightly 10th September.
It´s an awesome rom!
I´m facing some minor bugs.
1- Ringtones, Alarms and Notifications sounds.
I´ve replaced my Audio folder inside /system/media as I always did. Checked the permissions are set to rw-r-r but I can´t either select those audio files from the audio settings and also, can´t play them. If I put those same files inside the sd, I can play them, but I can´t select them.
2- NDrive
I can´t use nDrive 11. It feezes at start image. Anyone else faced this problem?
3- YouTube
Sometimes freezes, specially when trying to go to other part of a movie with the progress bar.
4- Shortcut / Notification screen
Is it possible to permanently hide the shortcut page that appears before turning on to the notification screen?
5- Governors
Which governor you can recommend for a basic use, phone, whatsapp, some camera, wifi and bluetooth.
6- Sd-Card
Should I format my card or repartion it in any special way to make it work better with CM10?
I´ve been using the same sd since my i9003, using gingerbread, then CM, and afterwards I changed it to my Advance, JellyBean and now CM.
Thanks indeed.
I'm facing troubles with instagram's advanced camera option. That doesn't work, I got black screen. It is solved by disabling HW overlays, but when I reboot the phone the bug returns.
