i can not find the setting in cm setting
maybe edit the sys file
who knows whish file is?
to the best of my knowledge. CM7 used to have this option, but removed it in our phones because auto-brightness is kinda buggy. i think its all hard coded into it now. so if you want to change it, you'd most likely have to change the code and build from source.

I keep seeing pocket CM included in all these roms. The roms do rock but I've come to hate pocket cm due to the lag and lack of detail in it. Anyone know a reg change I can make to disable it and possibly pocket keyboard? I've searched for an answer and have had no luck. Thanks so much!

Install it and it should remove the old one and then uninstall it. That is what I do when Battery status is in a cooked rom I install.
Never tried that before, thanks for the quick response I'll try that now. I just figured it'd be a quick switch in the registry or something.
PocketCM takes a little bit of time to grow on you, but for me I find it faster and so much easier to use than the default Contact Manager. But I didn't take the default one out of XM6r3 as I knew some would want that back (not sure what rom you are using).
To change back do the following (this is right from the www.pocketcm.com website):
Code:
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:M SCONTACTS
Change "String 1" value from "\Program Files\ContactManager\ContactManager.exe" to :MSPOUTLOOK contacts.
Or you could always spend a little time with a ROM Kitchen and exclude it...
You can use softkey applet to restore to default one :d

Actually this won't work. PocketCM by default becomes the default Contact Manager, thus the reason needed to do the registry change.
Hi guys,
Sense UI won't let me add a brightness control to the main screen. Can anyone suggest a decent and simple app to manually control screen brightness please?
I would have loved to have used the LUMOS auto back light app but that needs HTC drivers I believe :-( D'oh.
Try MVBklight 1.4.3
It's quite old but I've never found something better. I just use it also on my HD2 when I want to override the sensor. For the TG01 I think it's perfect.
I'll check it out. Thanks for that EDIT: Could only find 1.4.2 on XDA.. so googled it and got 1.4.3.
UPDATE: Can't get it to work. Maybe I need to edit the english config file to add in the TG01 or something?
ok, I'll give you all settings for TG01. But please hold on. I got to retrieve from my archive. My TG01 is under repair and I don't have settings close at hand. Please come back later.
Fab, really appreciate that
Here you are.
Attached you find screenshots of configuration for TG01.
As you can see minimum brightness value is 57, maximum is 255. You got to take it in account if you want also to use links to control brightness via command parameters.
I remember I had problem with links (I dont remember exactly what). So I also attached (syntactically) corrected links. But you have to localize the name of your program folder inside them.
MVBklight provides even a today plug-in. I am afraid it doesn't work. But I think it would not be so usefull, especially if you use Sense.
In the configuration you can see the use of a vga skin. Be sure to provide it (one is included in the package you downloaded). I tried to custominze the skin with other images but I didn't success, probably due to a wrong image format. I accualty spent few minutes on this, so if you get it right and achieve a nicer skin, let me know!
So, add a link to Popup.exe in your Sense UI and enjoy your brightness slider.
Please, ask if you need more.
P.S.
Ehi, remember that with MVBklight you get a torch too.
Thanks for that I'll download and try these tomorrow Odd that minimum is 57! (or is that the minimum YOU want it to ever be?)
It's not me.
On TG01 values below 57 have no effect. As for values over 255. It depends on device.
On HD2 minimum is 1 and maximum is 10. So on HD2 you can just change brightness by steps of 10% while on TG01 variation is much more smooth.
Again, it depends on hardware of device.
Fantastic. Finally got it working with those settings I will have a go at some other skins perhaps Now have brightness control on the screen.
The big mistake was me not swapping to 'manual', so it never saved my changes.
UPDATE: just playing around with the icon/images for better one's. Strangely, not every icon seems to work even if it's in the same size and format, it's really odd. Trying to change the bar's.. let's see what happens.
UPDATE2: Really struggling with these images. Even if I only edit them and save as the original type.. they won't show up. Bizarre. It's a little bit annoying actually. I'll have to keep trying as I want it to fit more into the them of black/white Sense UI.
I played right now with Resco Photo Manager.
Just doodled on left.bmp and saved.
It works.
Can't do more tests. I am at work...
Let's keep on trying. It's a long time I'd like to change the skin!

Could you share some pictures or a video? It sounds interesting! I'm using an free program called Metrix from http://www.apoxsoft.com/products/metrix/ and it works perfectly. But it's a Today plug-in, so it doesn't work on Sense.
Although it seems a little dated, it can be fully configurated. If any interested I can give you the TG01 parameters for brightness control
Best Regards
I am trying the following files. (THe 'RIGHTOLD.BMP' should be right.bmp btw) The only one that actually displays is the SLDR one :-( Annoying.
Trying to mess with them some more to see if I can make them work.
@Pere
Here you are a screenshot.
It's the easiest way to control brightness. I have the link in the bulb on the left of the screen but on TG01 also double tapping the zoom bar so the slider will pop up on whatever application is running in that moment.
Metrix is nice. But it's only a plugin for the today. I really need a popup instead.
@Scougar
Yes, your sldr.bmp works. Not the others. I tried to resave them from Resco Photo Manager but with no success.
The strange thing is that the left.bmp attached is the original with some doodling and saved from RPM. It works but the doodling results in a trasparency as you can see in attached screenshot where I changed the color of the background to make it clear.
I think that there is something to understand regarding how trasparency is handled. Could be that our images are treated for some reason as totally trasparent?
Hi all!
Working on my rom (JB XXELLC), and got and idea I just want to have some guidence with. Kinda a new to android (about 1 month), but picked up quite a lot allready, and done some simple smali / xml modding.
So, the idea is, to simply add an option in SecSettings with clockcolor, like the inkeffect setting (easy part).
The line in SystemUI xml files is also under control (like the color is basic xml code, like #blablabla)
Now, the thing I need a little guidence with is. When I have my colorvalue in secsettings, how do I get that value into the clock-color-value in the xml file?
The way I think is that choosen color is stoered in some adress (not known yet), say 0x111111 for now. And in the XML file (or some smali?), insted of a #fffffff color the color will be picked up from 0x1111111 ..
Am I thinking right? I'm not requesting a complete mod, or anything like that, just wanted to hear with you more skilled guys if I'm thinking right. Chose the correct method will cut down my dev time, a lot.. Of course It will be tricky, but that's a bit of the charm.
And sorry for bad english.. working on it :silly:
I realized that you said in your post that you wanted to cut DOWN your dev time, but I'm not going to contribute to that motive at all. Instead, I'm going to give you advice on how to massively increase your "dev time" at the same time as you massively increase your knowledge on how things work. After all, this section isn't about "quick" fixes.
(Knowing the answer is nice. Knowing how to find the answer is much, much better.)
Why not grab cyanogenmod or aokp source, and find examples of what you are trying to do (pull a color from something set in settings) in the actual java source, then compile that firmware, and finally push it back through apktool (or whatever your using to disassemble the apk) and find the corresponding smali?
Hi - I used to be able to rotate my lockscreen but I don't seem to be able to find an option to do this anywhere... I use Chroma ROM with Nova Prime. I'm sure it used to be a setting in Nova, or that the rotate setting was universal where now it isn't....
I have searched but no joy.
Its something I would change ROMs for simply because for the majority of my day my phone is plugged in on my desk and I would like to use it as a desk clock (I hide my windows taskbar).
So if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

You could try editing build.prop
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631092
Third option down.
Good luck.
***EDIT*** be aware that that line may already be in your build prop file and only the value will need changing. Check before or you'll probably end up bootlooping. Ofc you do all this at your own risk please if you don't already know how to LEARN.
good luck buddy. ?

thanks v much for the suggestion - I edited the build.prop using totalcommander to include that (it wasn't in there by default) but it didn't have an effect... (was the ; on the end supposed to be there?)
Really appreciate you taking the time to suggest this though

Just in case you haven't. Reboot is required and also check permissions of build prop after edit. Rotation as I recall only works in one direction check all rotation angles. This is all I can think of other than decompiling framework apks and that's a whole other can of worms. Can only say to let google do the searching for lock screen rotation. Many many options will be there.
Sorry can't be more help.

Thanks for all your suggestions - unfortunately no joy yet. I'm happy editing build.prop but think maybe decompiling framework APKs is a little out of my depth!
Just in case anyone's interested - I ended up going with a rather more simple solution! - dock clock from the play store - set it to auto start on charge - does the job nicely!
Hey,
Is it somehow possible to increase the height of the samsung stock keyboard beyond the stock values? I know I can adjust the size in settings but I want to make it bigger because I'm using quite low DPI. I'd there any setting or value I can change in root browser?
Same question for SwiftKey BTW. I know it's possible with gboard but I don't like it.
Thanks.
Good question. I suspect there may be a config file somewhere, but I don't have a clue of the name or location.
See if this might be in the right direction:
