[Q] quesiton about mohan's embryo 5.1 rom - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

This is a great rom. I have one question right now. Has anyone found that the screen brightness is a little dim under automatic? I came from ucle2 odin one click and the brightness I had under automatic setting was a lot brighter. I don't want to use it without automatic setting. Is there anyway to improve this? Thanks.

+1 I noticed the same thing. I would have to use a mini flashlight to bring the brightness back up. At night or low light the screen is perfect. Hopefully someone will be able to answer this.

or you could use an app called lux to set your brightness up/down levels to your hearts content

Anyway, I agree, the front led is not too bright. Perfect afaic
I agree, really too dim and the frequency is too slow. Everyone is wondering why I stare at my phone with the screen off ! I can't seem to get Light Manager working too. Anyone ?

I have a P8 Max also. Light manager didn't work with it, but Light Flow does. Use that instead.
Ok thank you, I will try it, but I will miss the "Do not disturb" setting" in light manager.
I have to use this built-in function in Emui but it's disturbing, as the phone vibrate when disabling it in the morning. Would there be a way to silence it?
Thank you

I believe light flow functions in the exact same ways. It has a lot of options built in. Play around with the settings.
On my european Mate 9 light manager works without problems.

Music player edge lighting.

Has anyone noticed when listening to music using the stock music player, there is a lighting effect that goes around the screen? I find it really annoying and I can't see any way of turning this off. I hope there is a way as I really like the samsung music player.

Hey that sounds pretty cool. How can I get this to work with Spotify?
Edit: Okay all jokes aside I've downloaded it and had a look for a solution. Doesn't appear to be something you can toggle. Possibly a purposeful design decision, or maybe just an oversight? Who knows what was going through their heads but you might just have to put up and shut up, change apps or wait for an update that includes a toggle.
Can I get this to work with play music???

No, it's a built in function on the Samsung player.
You have to turn off edge lighting. Settings display edge display edge lighting.
I love edge lighting when I get a message. But not with the music player.
Hi, I cant seem to make mine work. When I play music within the app, the edge lighting does not happen. Can you help me with this?? Edge lighting is turned on and all possible applications are selected. Please help.

Im using the Samsung Music app. Ive tried restarting the phone, uninstalling and installing the app. Turning the edge lighting toggle on and off.
And unticking keep screen off.
Nothing seems to work.
Plus the edge lighting I get in phone calls is just a solid green light on the edges. It doesnt rotate or move around. This is an s8 plus 64gb by the way. (( please help
I know that with the screen on it doesnt look good but one day my s8 glitched out where the screen turned off but the edge lighting remained on it was looking damn awesome if you guys want i will send a pic

I'd love to see it. I use edge lighting, but purposely refused to d/l the Samsung player because I use Spotify way too much. But I can see where constant edge light during music play can be both annoying and a possible battery drain.

Disable any packages on the phone? All I needed to do was turn on Edge Lighting in the menu and it's fine.
Using this player - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.android.app.music&hl=en
It only works when the app is actually open and playing, minimize and no edge lighting.

plz do
Works only with default music player. Those who are not able to see the effect, you need to turn on the animator duration scale under development options. At .5x edge lightning will run fast. At 1x it'll run at normal speed (pleasing to the eye) and lastly, at 0x setting it'll freeze and just look like stable edge border only.
I know how to turn it off, but you gotta be rooted. If you still wanting that, call me on priv
I like the edge lighting with the music player especially as it changes colour to match album art,just wished it was more reliable for messages ect.

Adaptive brightness is shiiite?

Beautiful phone, nice interface, great internals. Adaptive brightness = fail.
It is just too dark most of the time. Google and Samsung automatically adjust brightness with a bias that you can set manually on the brightness slider. This phone seems to adjust brightness purely automatically by moving the brightness slider on their own.
WTH?
Is there any fix for this aside from installing a rom?
I agree, no matter what i do and how i re set it.. Still good back to dark.. What's wrong.. I thing there is something wrong with the OS

Does anyone know if it's possible to deactivate the horrible yellow eye care thing on the second screen? I looked everywhere but all I found was the option to adjust the intensity.

Android 11 Dev Preview new stuff

I just flashed the new Android 11 beta on my Pixel 4 to just check out what's new and thought we could have a little discussion about some of the bigger changes and opinions. The changes I immediately am excited about are:
1) Finally added a pause/play gesture to project Soli!! (Works fantastic)
2) In the display settings, there is now a toggle to increase display touch sensitivity for screen protectors
3) Added a new qs icon for the built in screen recording
While testing the new Soli pause/play, I also immediately noticed how much more improved all of the hand gestures are. Not just the new pause, but also the skipping forward and backwards are so much more accurate and successful for me. It's an extremely welcome change and while Soli always worked decent for me, on the 11 beta I'm getting about 95%-99% success on all hand gestures compared to my about 80% on Android 10.
The screen sensitivity is another welcome addition for me personally. I have a glass screen protector and with the new option enabled, I can absolutely feel a difference in display response. I will admit that before updating, I hadn't had any screen responsiveness complaints but now that there's an option to improve it, I am very pleased with the results. If anything, it may be a tiny bit too responsive. While typing this post out, Gboard seems to occasionally hit a letter before I actually make contact with the screen. Other than that, it's fantastic. My back gestures seem to be the most beneficial from this.
The screen recording qs icon is a cool new addition, although I had native screen recording enabled on Android 10, there was no super quick way to start a recording session.
Lastly, I noticed a few new things in developer options but as I'm no Dev, I really don't know what they do. Oh, they did add a screen frame-rate overlay so you can see the current refresh rate of your screen.
I will be running this for a few days to see if and how battery life is affected and I'll post my findings here. Feel free to comment additional findings or opinions on the new Android 11 beta!
Here are some screenshots of my findings so far.

Strange, I haven't heard of this being an issue for anyone else yet. I even dirty flashed the 11 beta, didn't erase my userdata so I was expecting issues and it's been flawless. Try re-flashing the Android 11 factory image, that we almost certainly fix your issue.

Face unlock working fine here too, only issue I had was I didn't extract the zip into its entirety of the platform tools folder. That took me 2 hours to figure out how to flash without error.

Yeah, Google pay does not work on it. I received a pop up about it earlier this morning.
For those having face unlock setup issues: Factory reset your phone either in recovery or the settings menu. This happens when you don't clear face unlock before flashing a factory image with the -w option.
(Also, finally hitting my 1000th post with this 10 years later... Can't believe it's been that long)

Hmm. Was afraid to read that. So if we are able to use Google pay we have to wait until Google ads the preview to safely net to pass i think... So i wait... G-Pay is evident to me.

Nope, unfortunately the Pixel line will most likely never have hardware HDMI out capability due to the Chromecast's existence. I have a Chromecast and still would love to have HDMI over usb-c, it's just not going to happen.
