I am using Undead's ICS splashed 3.0 which comes with Nexus Torch installed. The "bright" setting is incredibly bright, but doesn't stay on steadily. I have tried a good number of flashlight apps from Market (including the HTC 3 setting clone - or is it the original?) but all seem about as bright as regular setting in Nexus Torch. It seems that they all use the video light setting as opposed to the camera flash.
Has anyone found anything, if not as bright as Nexus Torch on "bright", at least brighter then the rest?
Try teslaLED I think its called, I used it on other devices idk if it works with our phone, states its the brightest flashlight app for android..

I did try it (I have it on my phone right now) and it doesn't seem brighter then the others (I also tried Brightest Flashlight, AOI Flashlight, Maxflash, Tiny, HTC clone and others) and I think it is because they use the video light. I think I even came across that point somewhere that they actually run your camera/video. The nexus one (N1 torch) is way brighter, but doesn't stay on steadily. If you run the video light while taking a video you'll see it's no where near as bright as the flash for a picture.
I also wonder how the standard HTC app has 3 different settings, and no other app does.
Lastly, I find the color of the LEDs interesting, they're not as bright white as on my HD2, does anyone have any info on them?
I've been using tesla led for years. Stable. The widget is good and it has an ics theme button which looks nice

Saw what you were saying about blinking bright... There is a warning saying that it might blink because bright is still imperfect. I haven't needed bright so that never bothered me.

There is a very good reason why the super bright feature won't stay lit up steadily on the ICS Rom using Nexus Torch light.... Hint, it's way too bright and long term exposure will burn out our LED lights. Sooooo leave bright enough alone or fry your phone....the choice it's yours my friend

From my experience the led being set on bright has never given me trouble on other devices. As far as I know from my various dozen or so Android phones the brightest by far has been the G2. I've kept that thing running on bright for a minimum of an hour without it giving me trouble while I had to drop the tank in my truck to change the fuel pump on the side of the road......
Frying leds is almost as fun as burning up a dry clutch hehe.

MIUI is certainly a good one, especially if you like the iPhone look (you can change this of course with a custom launcher but the menus and such still look "iPhony"). If you're into trying out a few others besides MIUI you may want to have a look at CM7. One thing I like is that it has a wide array of tweakable automatic brightness settings. Every ROM I've tried, the brightness is either too dark at times (like when I'm in my car) or too bright such as when I'm in bed at night in a dark room. I don't like to always have to be fiddling with the manual brightness settings. With most ROMs you're stuck with whatever automatic brightness settings suit the developer. CM7 allows tweaking the brightness for specific ambient light levels, and has various overlap/hysteresis settings to minimize any rapid increase/decrease of brightness when the ambient light changes or is right on the borderline between levels.
With most ROMs you can turn the haptic feedback either on or off with no adjustments. CM7 allows you to tweak the exact level of haptic feedback you want. I like just a light "bump" of haptic feedback (about 20ms) when hitting the capacitive buttons or when long pressing an icon. Plus this saves a smidgen of battery life over the full blown haptic.
Couple the fact that the undervoltable LordMod kernels work with CM7 and MIUI and you've got a real winning combination, with battery life as good or better than the stock ROM.
+1 for MIUI. And people forget that it's CM7 based.

use a pure black wallpaper, turn off auto brightness, and set it at a lower brightness manually.
Also an app called "screen filter" works great. I have 2 widgets with these settings with the app
1) 48.6% (indoors, just to darken it a bit)
2) 25.5% (at night, dark rooms)
Of course mess with it and find what works best for you

Really don't agree w/ you there. All they do is turn the app on/off at the selected setting. If the app isn't running they aren't doing any damage.
Screen filter seems good but it gets too dark at 48 for me, ill try a bit higher. As for the black wallpaper. That looks pretty bad IMO. Is it really worth it?

It doesn't have to be completely black. Basically dark colors helps out. Try and stay away from whites as much as possible
I am using the original honeycomb background, pretty dark but with neon blue.

What about screen color options I currently have it on standard will vivid be better or something in custom?
Dude I'm in love with the notifications capacitor buttons I've been using them since the guy from 2x forums made the app and still using them on CM7.
Just an amazing implementation.
I lovr how I see the lights lid up while I'm working and know that there is something waiting for me
Just wanted to share aand encourage those of you who have not use this before and are missing notification led that this is pretty sweet.
Works flawlessly as well
For those of you running stock, you can simply download it from the market and will be ready to go.

That little program is much better than the notification light I now have on the Sensation. At least, on the G2x it is. The Sensation's notification light is darn near hidden whereas I can see the led light on the G2x lights pretty much wherever I have it laying.

i dunno. i kinda find the leds annoying. i turn those off and just look at the notification. unless i'm missing something that you all are not.
@above: Well at least we have options.
One thing I find weird is that there isn't even a charging light. I plug it in and there is no feedback. The screen doesn't even pop on. I have to manually turn on the screen and check to make sure everything is good before I go to bed.
Notification LED's, meh. The way I see it is that I'm going turn the screen on and check anyway.
Although, as far as Notifications go, the OP's mention is a good solution for stock users. CM7 users have this built in on the kernel level so it consumes less battery. The above method is a battery eater, hence why CM7 built it in to the kernel vs having an app running in the background.
can anyone either make me a app that makes the camera flash a notification light or point me in the right direction on how to make it myself? I am not very good at coding but I'm willing to try to learn. I know a little java and html, although it's been a while for both so i doubt they will be much good to me. Thanks!
you try noled yet? its pretty nice and almost (almost!!) makes me not miss having a notification light.
Or just maybe make the lights on the buttons below the screen go off......

this would be awesome however I think its only doable through some custom kernel work which isn't possible as of yet since imnuts and other kernel devs have no source code

How is Noled on the battery though? I tried it on my fascinate and it seemed to eat through the battery. This has been almost a year ago though.
NoLED will slightly lower your battery life, but it's the only option we have right now. We just can't get true BLN without the source code.

It does eat your battery because it unlocks your phone. That said, it does have the option to stop itself after a set time frame. I'm never away from my phone for more than five minutes, so that works for me.
I have the proximity sensor setting on for NoLED and it saves the battery a ton! The screen stays off when it's in your pocket or holster and shows the notification as soon as you take it out. NoLED is honestly the best app I have on my charge. I love seeing the icon of the notification rather than having to remember what app was yellow or blue!
BLN seems pointless on this phone. The back light on the buttons is too weak to even notice it during the day. Which I did enjoy BLN on my fascinate, but seems like it wouldn't work very well on the charge.

That's not at all true if you're indoors. The button backlight is plenty noticeable even under fluorescent lights, and would be even moreso flashing.
I could be wrong but I believe this (BLN or back LED flash) is only possible through some custom kernel work, and since we have no kernel source code yet it can't be done... your best bet now, at the cost of battery life, would be noLED

Ya it is a custom mod for a kernel. Could be cherry picked into the froyo kernel source from neldar's github.

One thing I've noticed is that in a dark room this phone is ridiculously bright on auto
And that the high level of brightness are causing a little bit of color washout
Swype worked initially, I switched keyboards and then switched back now it shows up half the size it should be
(Another thing I hadn't realized is how many apps wouldn't be coded for ics yet, looking for native ics app suggestions)
(Also is there a way to make the battery in the notification bar have a percentage)
Is anyone else having these issues?

I agree with you on the brightness. Once we have the bootloader unlocked there are ways to change the auto brightness sensitivity. Same with the battery %.
The swype issue is an issue with the swype beta. I have already posted on their forums reporting the bug.
As for apps, they're being updated for ICS slowly but surely. Be patient

Actually the default keyboard is swipe enabled. I actually like it better because the auto correct seems to be more accurate. It had its flaws but it is great for swipe and touch typing whereas swype sucks for touch typing.
