[TIP] Notification Bar = Brightness Slider

I'm guessing that many of you guys already know this, but as this is not posted anywhere else in our forum, I'd like to post here, since I found this just randomly.
Touch your status/notification bar for a second (do not pull down) and then slide left/right to decrease/increase your screen Brightness.
Cool Right !!
NOTE : Auto Brightness should be turned off for this to work.
While posting this thread I saw few threads on other Phones' forums about this tip, and from the responses, I see many guys were not aware of this. So I think this thread will make some sense.

It’s working...... really cool man....

Yup its a known trick, it even works when using the stock ROMs.

Ah.. Glad to hear that... now i can get rid of one huge widget..

Is anybody read the instruction to SGR? It's in there ))))

As far as I am aware, this is only present on Samsung phones. I tried with my friend's DHD, his Arc S and his Galaxy Note. Only worked on his Note.

I second that it doesn't work on Ace though it was a while back that I had checked it, so a new update might have added this feature for them too.
Will check & update you guys here.

It doesnt work for me on stock ROM. I have however removed a lot of stuff with titanium backup, which might be the reason for this.
Any suggestions as to why it doesn't work for me?

Yeah, I guess so.
At the moment, I'm waiting a few weeks before switching to one of the custom ROMs which are currently being developed and tested. I think I'll live without this brightness feature until then Although it sounds really nice.

Very Nice. Thanks for the Tip.

Thank you! Very useful, I've seen the slide in my honeycomb GT and I miss this option on the R.

[MOD] Fugutweaks ported from Galaxy S3

fugutweaks was known since froyo
but this is pulled from S3.
makes your touchscreen more responsive.
It replaces your app_process and system_server binaries
i installed and dont have this issue but some report that, it causes no boot animation.
here is the link
https://www.dropbox.com/s/689cvnygbgj0p5z/S3Fugutweaks_signed.zip
im on cm9 tried on it and i think it works.
on other roms i havent tested.
FLASH IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!
and please report.

not worked!
I flashed and phone got into boot loop. Fortunately i took backup of these two files and i recovered in CWM via adb shell else i would have lost all my data
I am on DDKP3 with custom kernel.

i think its almost the same with default ics values.
and it has gorilla glass 2 and maybe that is why s3 touchscreen is more responsive.

i have been through about 4 different ROM's last two: cyanogen 9 and cyanogen 10. now i am currently on option c HERE
what i want is a stable ROM that has working GPS working Theme chooser and supports boot animation changes. I would prefer most of the other stuff to be working as well lol
can any of you point me in the right direction?
i have searched and searched but so far i find 2 of the 3 things i want in one or if i find all 3 i see many posts about crashes and loader redraws and so on
thanks in advance for any help

Anyways the only roms that have theme changer are gonna be cyanogenmod and.some other aosp roms...so I think cm9 is probably your best bet...don't know if it has WiFi tether though

It's really hard to make a working Miui build without CM. I think you should wait for CM.

Okay I can confirm the that the 3 builds fuss, mine and yours are giving the exactly same kernel logs.
And I get get Linux 2.6.x ZSLE6 in the logs with your build too(but only with ardatdat kernel 4.0). Maybe he didn't change it or something. Dont know.
Here are the logs from the two kernels - the one in your build and ardatdat's
Adam, while you are here could you please have a look. I don't understand much in there
----------------EDIT-----------------------
Does it have something to do with the touch? One gives backlight warning. Other keeps calibrating and we see all the key press release and all. Have no clue. Just a wild guess. Maybe you or Ardatdat can tell.

I guess you are right buddy. Reading the MIUI patchrom documentations it looks like a cakewalk.
But once you start build you get all the issues. The patchrom documentation just says it will extract rom out of your mobile and build MIUI on it. If only it were that simple

I didn't notice anything extraordinary in the last_kmsg with ardatdat's kernel. Nevertheless, I don't understand why it's showing 2.6 as version. I'll take a deeper look into it tomorrow.

Thanks a lot Adam.
Maybe his kernel picks it up from some config which is still zsle6 and 2.6 in my case.
When you have a look please also notice all the key press and releases. I ain't touching anything.

OK lets make it more clear.
You got stuck at Samsung i9103 logo? Or did it pass it and reach boot animation.
If stuck at Samsung logo will upload debugged files and replace in the rom and try to boot!

They are stuck in boot anim...

@Bhargav: Thanks Buddy but I have already attached the logs from two kernels in one of above posts. Anyways to get those you need restart and go into recovery(CWM). Then you do 'adb pull /proc/last_kmsg'
@All: Guys, I think I know what the problem is. We have all been using some other phone's code base for the development and it doesn't work that way. Not with our phone atleast.
Last night I was building it from scratch, solving errors when they appered and with a almost clean makefile. It is then I realized - we missing framework-res.apk/res/values folders in our ICS. The patchrom just needs it. I couldn't find a workaround. So I replaced only the framework-res folder from i9100.
Why I write all this long text - The result it booted. The button backlight comes on. I get the vibration, one we get just before launcher comes on. But then it couln't render the screen. The samsung screen disappears after a while and I get just the black screen with no launcher initialized.
Now the strange part is I still don't get adb to work. So no logcats. I think there is some other issue with adb not working.
But the phone definitely boots now. And the reason it cannot render the screen could be because framework-res contains all drawables and resolution related files.
So to cut the long story short - can any of our devs see why we don't have framework-res.apk/res/values folder in ICS when all other phones including samsung ones seem to have it on ICS( I'll double check with their stock codes but patchrom codes have it). It appears like ours is a different structure for framework-res.apk.
And guys, I see the last 3 post are from my Indian friends(my guess). Guys what were you doing up so early on a Sunday morning. Didn't have a Saturday night blast
----EDIT----
Damn!! This post is big. I am sorry guys but I just thought I should share my findings

Lets try replacing runtime and see if it boots.
Download the attached file, unzip it.
Then open my miui rom with some archive go to system/lib and copy the downloaded file in there.
flash and see if it boots.

Since whitexp was on a vacation till march I'll have a talk with now as it is my holidays now!!!!!! We'll work on that.:highfive:
