I've been looking since yesterday, and I finally found an app that lets you use your dual LEDs on the back of your Evo to use it as a flashlight[like many apps on the market for Droids and Nexus Ones]
They're are two apps that we know work for sure:
I personally recommend the first one because it includes brightness settings...
1) thorpe24 has found an App that allows you too adjust the brightness; it also includes a widget, but IMO its not very attractive.. but its functional!

2) The other one is LED Light [Includes Sense-like toggle Widget for quick on/off, but no brightness control]
Enjoy!
Thanks was looking for that earlier too many different choices in the market
Awesome! The widget is an instant toggle!
Thanks just what I was looking for.
WIN! *downloads* Oooooooh shiiiiiiiney
I was just looking for this earlier. Awesome find, thank you!
Awesome find! I was looking for something like this. Thanks!
Cool! I wonder why they didn't put this on it stock?
It also works or the video recorder so you can now record at night so long as you're within like 3 feet of what you're recording.
led

Led desire light lets you adjust brightness and has morse code it's what I use.

I like the adjustablility of LED Desire Light, but it's still not as bright as the "Flash" setting of FlashApp. The widget included with LED Light is super handy as well, so now I have three different flashlight apps installed. If only one of them could combine the features of all three...
big thanks to the OP and also Thorpe, both apps are great like the desire app better for the brightness incase I really need the extra light and the morse and SOS are cool
good find guys! i still have my HD2 laying around and those LEDs are firebright! still a good bit brighter than the evo's, but who cares! lol
Nice! Thanks!
i use switch pro...it has an led light too.

I just discovered a very simple way to control your backlight on your captivate. Just slide your finger left or right on your top task bar
. left to reduce brightness and right to increase brightness.
Try it out.

Awesome tip!
That explains why my screen would dim/brighten when I'd swype my that status bar for notifications. I had chalked it up to a glitch.
This does not work for me. Some of the things I have added? Beautiful Widgets?

i have to agree, i was really a big big big big big HTC Loyalist, and after my fuze, had decided to never buy another phone unless it was made by HTC... but with AT&T's failure to pick up one of the high end HTC Android devices, i decided to give the Captivate a go... and i am SUPER Impressed!!
WOW fantastic find!!! 99% of the time I use auto brightness, but this is a fantastic tip for adjusting the brightness quickly when needed.

Keep it clean and smooth. Don't need all the junks.
Usable
-GPS Lock
-A2DP
-Good Camera
-low battery drain
-A good, fast launcher that's fully customizable
-I love notification toggles
Make it all work and you'll get the devotion of the entire community!
Notification toggles are a must. I can't use a rom without them.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
-HDMI output control
-Ability to use both Netflix and HBO Go.
-Colorized theme
-Toggle controls (sound, wifi, data, gps, etc) in drop down.
Battery life is the most important aspect for my daily needs. Not of big fan of CM7. I would prefer a Rom setup similar to stock regarding internal and external storage.
Add lots of color but keep the fonts stock. Theming the black and white icons found on stock would be great.
+1 on the NetFlix comment.
Thank you for your efforts.

Personally I would like to see a pure Gingerbread rom with OC'ed kernel and just adding the Theme Chooser. I don't need notification toggles because I can just use the power control widget on a homescreen in order to toggle. I'm more interested in speed and stability myself and don't worry about battery life like others. Though I can see how battery life would be important. I OC right now to 1.55/1.55 with performance governor, so my personal battery life is crap, lol.
Just something simple, stable Kernel (but without sacrificing performance and battery life), and definitely gotta have the LG camera.
So, I'm guessing most of you would like a 2.3.3 based ROM?

Would be nice if it were 2.3.5, lol.
2.2.2 has Enables for Background sync, and Auto-sync. I'd like to have a timed sync - like while "screen off", every n minutes allow background and auto syncing, then disable syncing.
It appears that when WiFi calling is active, the cell radio is enabled or occasionally enabled? I'd like to see the cell radio totally disabled when WiFi calling is active.
Maybe the wrong thread, but it'd be good to be able to "nice" individual processes.
I suppose some of these are already do-able, I just hadn't found it yet.
Thanks.

Weapons does not have the ability to play Netflix. CM7 does, but HBO Go doesn't work; plus CM7 doesn't allow you to adjust HDMI output.

Here's the problem...Weapon was serious buggy. GPS wouldn't lock, battery drain and it would freeze up on me. After the last Black screen of doom I had to wish it goodbye.
Hello all,
I have a couple of questions about Go Locker for those that use it or use Go Launcher EX.
I actually hated it at first for a number of reasons but recently gave it another try. I know I have modified my phone the way I like it and have 2 locker themes I really would love to use.
However, what seriously frustrates me is the lag and inconstant performance. First off, when I power cycle the phone or restart it, it will load the default Skyrocket lock screen for a while before it eventually only loads the Go Locker screen I have chosen. Second, it sometimes does not display the lock screen immediately after waking the phone up by pressing that power button.
I love this very much but I seriously hate the lag and poor performance.
Has anyone been able to tweak this or find a workaround?
Thank you much,
i use milocker
Ahh, never heard of milocker. Does it perform well for you? Is is fast after waking the phone? Do they have themes or are there any from third-party?
Thanks!
I found either go locker or one of go lockers themes seemed.to help my battery drain real quick . I'm going to try milocker also
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
milocker has many themes. some work faster than others.
I completely agree with this! Very true. Not only are some slow as mentioned below even with milocker, but some do have an impact on battery life. I personally won't use any that has some kind of animation.
I just found one high tech theme that looks amazing and works great, as long as I disable the clock. Don't really need the clock on lock screen. Works great!!
Thank you all

Been several posts in Q&A, and in general about best methods for adjusting brightness. Personally I like the slider in the notification tray, but the app Q Bright is by far the best app I've used for this purpose. Full slider, 4 customizable presets, full app customizations, fast acting, oh yeah, it's free.
Thought I'd share.
It's actually Qbright one word
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I like screen filter. It's free as well. It can make the screen go dimmer than with the notification slider. Q bright is pretty cool too. Wish I had a search key to long press to bring it up though haha

I've been using Lux for awhile now and it's been working great.
I also use lux, but everytime i reboot i have to open the dash to get it to work. I have the notification icon active, which always says for some reason 50% after boot until I click it. Lux works with tasker and i like that for profiling.
<quick hijack>I've been on the hunt for a widget I can pop in my homescreen that will jump between preset brightness levels. I generally keep my phone around 5% or so but when I'm outside I can't see that. I can pull down the notifications and adjust the slider but a button on my homescreen is much easier.
This one works pretty well but the icon doesn't center properly and my ocd brain can't take it. Plus sometimes it will just jump between 30%-100%...No idea why.
Sorry for derailing the thread
</hijack>
Saw that too, I couldn't deal with the off center widget either. I mean seriously, wtf? Who wants that on their screen?

the best app I have ever used for adjusting screen brightness and saving your battery would be LUX. It is in the Market for free but the paid options are far worth it.
Auto brightness from google store... i like that app... useful and great

Lux is wonderful
I've been using Brightness Level by Curvefish for over 2 years. The widget is perfect.

I agree. This is what I've been using for.months and love it! It allows you to set custom presets based on the current luxury, which you can use the default reader or even use the camera to detect. I use default, and set customs by long pressing the link button on the luxury widget.
