What files do i need to adjust to make my phone brighter when using auto brightness my phone is way too dim.
It seems like the max level of auto brightness is whatever the slider was set at before choosing "auto".
Try turning off auto, running the slide to where you want it and then turning auto brightness back on.
Well just tried that and still no luck ....Guess Im gonna have to change ROMs

As far as I know, brightness levels are controlled by kernel, not ROM. So if u like the ROM, try changing the kernel.

Try gingerbeast 2.1.1 or Android Revolution 5.1.6. I used both, and both are good.
OP, if you're going to be trying out different ROMs be sure to check out CyanogenMod. It has a ton of tweakable auto brightness settings that simply don't exist in most ROMs. Among the many settings, you can dial in the exact screen brightness you want for a given ambient light level. Once you get the settings to your liking, there will be very few (if any) situations where you'll need to manually adjust the brightness; it will be done automatically the way you want instead of the way the ROM developer likes it.

Since 1.9.16 custom contact ringtones does not work anymore.
If a contact with a custom ringtone calls me the phone ring the default ringtone instead of the custom one.
Setting another contact ring tone does not make any difference.
Also tried Rings Extended with no luck.
I went back to 1.9.9 and the problem was not there.
Unfortunately i can not use 1.9.9 cause of the bluetooth problem it has.
Does anybody has similar problem with 1.9.16 ?
After flashing 2-3 other roms and no problem occurred (always restoring everything with titanium) i found the cause of the problem.
I had not realized that i had the problem when the screen was off, cause i have a 15 off timer and its always off and always i restore my settings from Titanium.
The problem was caused by screen-off profile of setcpu!
i tried to change frequencies or governors but no luck.
removing the screen-off profile completely everything runs as expected...
I cannot figure out why a profile 100-400MHz screen-off can cause this problem since other roms worked ok.
well, now with 1.9.23 there is no way i can make contact ringtones to work,
i made a full wipe and setup form scratch but contact ringtones does not work.
i cannot understand what i am doing wrong.
i put my ringtones at /sdcard/MIUI/ringtone.
select a global ringtone from there which works ok and then i select some contact ringtones from there but they get ignored!
whatever i try always the global ringtone rings ! ignoring the contact settings!
This happens only to brainmasters MIUI, formels and MIUI original works great!
also work at 1.9.9 brainmasters MIUI.

Unfortunately I cannot help you with your problem, but I do have a question for you. How are you setting your screen to 15 seconds? I am using brainmasters miui and can not set any lower than 30 seconds. I want to set 15 but cannot figure any way to do that.
sadly after too many efforts brainmaster miui 1.9.23 refuses to play contact ringtones even at stock install without any other program installed. (i didn;t install setcpu also).
Other miuis don't have this problem nor brainmasters 1.9.9.
flashed 1.10.7 to a brand new i9023.
its first rom after rooting.
same problem.
Hey all, I'm trying to figure out how to get some brightness settings for the touch key brightness to stick. I've used LG 2x Notifications and O2x Touch Key Brightness, and they both work up until the point where i put the phone to sleep by tapping the power button. As soon as I wake it up, the brightness goes straight to zero unless i head back to the app and raise it up again. And if i uninstall the apps, the brightness on my keys stay off until i re-flash or reinstall the app again. Help!
My issue is a little different but similar. It worked fine for me on every basic gingerbread rom, but when I switched to a cm7 based rom the lights change with the brightness of the screen. I turned off all the light notifications but it did not help.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.

On SinghUI but it doesn't have built-in LED notifications, if that's what you're getting at.
If the setting from one of those apps doesn't stick, then it's most likely being set by your ROM or Kernel. Have you tried checking if you get the same issue with other ROMs?
@jcbofkc That's a built-in setting that can't really be changed unless you get a custom ROM or Kernel cooked up to remove the link between the brightnesses.

90% sure the ROM doesn't have built in notifications. I'm noticing now that very rarely the settings do stick. Perhaps there is a way to force the app to stay in memory?

That wouldn't work. All that those apps do is write a number from 0-20 to the text file:
/sys/devices/platform/star_touch_led/wled
in your root file system.
When you read the file, it shows you the current output to the LEDs (from 0uA to 2000uA).
When you write to the file, it interacts with the Kernel and sets the brightness.
The Touch Key Lights type apps, all they do is when you move the slider they write a value to that file, and that's it. The only reason it wouldn't stick is if your ROM or Kernel is changing the value in the background. For example it will set it to 0 when you turn the screen off, and then it should set it back to wherever it was before when you turn the screen on again.
The closest you could get is to take the source for LG Touch LED Notifications and modify it to set the brightness every few seconds or something, but that probably wouldn't be too good for your battery life.
Based on your symptoms it appears that either your ROM or your phone doesn't really handle the modifying of the brightness very well. It looks like SinghUI does use a kernel from CM7, so I don't think your kernel is the problem. I'd suggest flashing the most recent CM7.2 RC, and seeing if you have the same problem there. CyanogenMod will change your LED brightness based on your screen brightness though.
EDIT: Ignore all that for a moment, try this first. It is a post from January 21st in the SinghUI thread, so it might not work now, but go ahead and try it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21652744&postcount=293
Also I'd suggest posting in the SinghUI thread as everyone there is using your ROM, so they might be able to help better.

Thanks for the link. It turns out that the ROM does have led notifications. However, disabling them didn't help the problem. :/ the g2x has just been an awful experience for me! :/
Hey guys, I've got a problem, and I'd ask it in the dev thread for this ROM, but seeing as I'm just a newb, I'm not allowed to post there. I've done some light searching around the forum and haven't found an answer, but if I happened to miss it, please forgive me for my newbishness.
Let me preface this by saying hot dang, I am SO glad that I flashed my Skyrocket with SKY-ICS. I've been running stock for half a year and after tasting SKY-ICS, I'll NEVER go back. I've seen that Seanz has worked up a great reputation with this SKY-ICS and now I can see why!
Anyways, my problem is that whenever I'm running PowerAmp and I put my screen to sleep, it stops playing music. When I turn my screen back on, I can quickly see up top that PowerAmp just gets activated again, like putting my phone to sleep caused it to terminate the application. I'm guessing this could be a design in the actual SKY-ICS, as in maybe it forces my phone into deep sleep when I press the power button? The only thing that confuses me on that is that Spotify will run perfectly even when my phone is "asleep."
Is anyone else having this problem? Or at least does anybody have any suggestions as to what I could do to solve this problem?
Thanks for your help guys!
Check your Settings in Poweramp.

Thanks for the reply, but I did already check on that, and I enabled "Use Wakelock," but that didn't seem to fix the problem... Any other suggestions?

Not sure. I'm running aokp and have no problems with poweramp. Maybe it's rom-related, i'm not too sure. I'll poke around and see if I can think of anything else.
Edit: Wondering if it's maybe due to whatever was stripped from the rom itself. Have you tried the regular safe base? If not, maybe you should make a nandroid and give it a shot if you're willing.

I may give that a shot whenever I get a little bit of time this weekend. I kind of figured it would be something that was stripped or something, but I couldn't ask it in the dev thread. Upon some more in-depth searching in the official thread (I discovered this handy search bar labeled "Search Thread"! Who knew?) I was able to come across a temporary solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28593163&postcount=114
But like I said, I'll probably troubleshoot it by trying out the other flavor, but this is a temporary solution that oughta work... If I find anything else out, I'll be sure to update this thread. Thanks for your willingness to help out a newb, btm fdr!
I just tested this and have the same problem. It's always worked on past SKY ICS Roms. This will be a HUGE inconvenience for me since I listen to music while riding my motorcycle. As soon as the screen goes off, PowerAmp stops playing.
I'll post it in the "SKY ICS AT&T Official" thread.
It's running fine for me on the dragon. Wakelock is unchecked.

I saw this thread in the Skyrocket General section, and then tested myself and realize I am experiencing the same issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1770780
I'm currently running:

Update 1.7
UCLF6 modded kernel
Issue/symptom:
When playing music in PowerAmp, music stops playing as soon as screen shuts off. Music resumes when screen awakens. EDIT: music doesn't resume automatically.... I have to manually restart it in the PowerAmp player. I am double checking all settings in PowerAmp...
This is a major inconvenience since I listen to music while riding my motorcycle.
I haven't experienced this issue on previous SKY ICS. It worked perfectly on the "SKY ICS Rogers official release". All PowerAmp settings are the same from previous ROM versions (restored from Titanium Backup)
Thanks in advance!

I uninstalled/reinstalled PowerAmp, left the default settings, and it resolved the problem.
I went through each setting individually and confirmed that if I check:
Settings > Lock Screen > Enable Lock Screen
If that is checked, it breaks. If that is unchecked PowerAmp plays while screen is off.
This is a new "issue" on this Rom.
I also don't have the lock screen power amp controls. *shrug* I can live without that.
Thanks for posting the issue in the official thread. I agree, I can do without the controls if I must (as I only discovered them a few weeks ago,) but they really are handy to have. I'll keep an eye on the official thread for answers too.
The process is probably being turned off in setting on power amp theres a box to keep service on when screen is shut off,SKY ICS is a very awsome ROM though I was on it for some time

I tried turning that "keep service on" on/off eariler today while troubleshooting. That had no affect. Like I previously posted, the setting that "breaks" it is the "Enable Lock Screen" in the PowerAmp Lock Screen Settings.
I also tested it with different lock screens (AOSP, Stock TW Launcher Lock Screen, etc...)
This wasn't an issue on the "Rogers" (AT&T Safe) release. This just started happening since I flashed tot he new "AT&T Official" release. I've been using SKY Roms on the SkyRocket since December, and this is the first time it's had this symptom.
I too have only had the problem when setting the poweramp lockscreen not the ics lockscreen that is the only way i can change my music on lock. If i hit enable poweramp lockscreen i get a fc. I havent had the problem of music stopping when i lock my screen, then again i bought my poweramp on the offical site and thats where you can download both the app and the key. So maybe download the app from the site? Has anyone had a probelm with the playlists? I would make a playlist and have like 60 or so songs and every now and then they disappear? Sometimes it just goes to 0 songs but the playlist is still there. I export/import my playlists now to another location but i havent had the time to explore this situation.
I recently install CM10 on my TF101 and Auto rotate is not working i try various roms but still not work i was wondering if there a fix or something please let me know
Auto rotate is activate in setting but do nothing
Which CM10 version are you using?
I tried several and auto rotate worked on all of them (it is one of those things I am using all the time).
Right now I don't have CM10 installed, but I think there were two places where you could activate autorotate... Maybe you have it enabled on the quick settings but disabled otherwhere.
Take some time and thoroughly check the settings
Thanks!!!
Thanks CalvinH for Reply Right now i have [ROM][JB][PA:CM10 HYBRID] Unofficial ParanoidAndroid For the TF101 - [15/10] STABLE-1 install on my tf101 y check what you said i get inside setting and autorotate is activate and in laucher setting is activate too so I dont know what is the problem Any other ideas? I really need the auto rotate
I used that ROM and it worked... Sorry but nothing comes to my mind.
If you haven't already done it, post this question in the ROM thread. The dev is following the thread closely and answers every question / bug.
Good luck
