Gamma settings

Is there a way to change the screens gamma settings on the skyrocket? I have searched on Google and can't find anything. Forgive me if this has been addressed before.

Interesting thought... Are you curious to see if the screen can be redrawn with different gamma settings to conserve battery or for other reasons?

Mostly just for looks. Cm9 on my nexus s has the settings where you can set a dark color profile and adjust the gamma setting to really make the screen pop. I use my phone so much I doubt I would get better battery life.

It does not work yet. I was just going to play with the settings. I like the cm9 settings that my nexus s has. I will post them tonight when I get home.

Soft key lites

Anyone know of a mod or app to shut off the soft(copasative) lights on my evo? I don't need them.
Thanks,
Charles

If you are running cm7 or cm9, check out this guide for dimming the screen, just set all the button values to zero and the soft buttons won't light up anymore.

Theres a app called screen filter that lets u turn them off
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

you could always install MikG 3.11 and run Miktweaks which is built into the ROM; it has the option to disable the illumination for those buttons.

You've gone into the advanced settings and checked the adjust soft key box? Then set the frequency to always off.
You need to check lux to never be killed. Then bring up the dashboard and refresh you lux value and then the settings should stick. I've found that at night the capacitive keys turn back on though.

You can try the link button to match the settings to a particular lux value. Honestly it took a bit of trial and error to get the settings to stick.
Do the steps before open the dashboard, let it adjust the value. Set your default back light % and then link it. Mine eventually stuck. As I said at night they still come back on. Go figure !

You can just disasmble the screen and take out the light filters for the 4 keys! That's what I did.

Dim/Turn off backlight of capacitive buttons

Some ICS ROMs have annoying always-on backlight of the hardware capacitive buttons.
Try one of these to eliminate/dim that :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.deskangel.adjbrightness
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.pruss.superdim

According to ShortbusDriver none of these work.
Can someone confirm this works - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26195948&postcount=4

No didn't work either....that would have been an awesome fix though lol

did you try to toggle auto brightness on and off ?
lights should turn off when screen is off.

No capacitive lights do go off with screen....just never go off as long as the screen is on.... for example when watching video a movie let's say....capacitive keys stay on and bright as ever

I see, it exists in CM7 as well.
Probably kernel related.

there's a bug in cm7 github for this issue,
I'm pretty sure Team Acid will take care of it.

Yes I'm sure they are on it.....I'm just looking for a way on my own.......

Just use screen filter it has the option built in

Thanks bro, this actually works, but I have to enable it after each button touch.
I put it as the app to launch when double clicking the screen on Apex launcher (currently on Erikmm's MIUI v4).

Do you guys want them off completely or a set amount of time?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app

a set amount of time I think (and my idea, too)

I think it should be like 5 seconds.

Timeout please...seemed to be somewhere around 30 secs or so on stock.
edit: now that I reconsider it may have only been like 10 secs top.

I wouldn't mind if the capacitive key lights went off completely but the keys still work....which ever comes first thank you Erik

It's the same on all ICS roms that I have flashed, and I think I have tested them all

Screen filter is a quick fix...and if you enable navigation bar it works fairly well.

Keyboard LED

I think it might just be my phone but everytime i use the physical keyboard in light the led on the keyboard doesnt turn on but when i use it in the dark they turn on. Has anyone notice this?

ERrr I think the light sensor controls that. Especially if you have it to set auto.
Sent from my XT897 using xda premium

Mine does that, think it is a power saving feature. Uses the sensor by the earpiece much the same way as the auto feature with screen brightness.

It is a feature of the phone. I work for the sprint store, and our rep tried to show us that like it was an actual selling point. If you put your thumb on the sensor between the speaker and the camera the light will come on.

Not to my knowledge, at least not on the stock rom. CM7 had settings you could adjust, I imagine when CM9 hits we will see the same.

[Q] set data usage limit

Hey guys,
Im looking at setting the Data Usage Limit and Warning. Is the only way to adjust these numbers via the "wheel" by swiping up and or down to increment the numbers? Currently my warning limit is 2.5 Gigs.. Id like to set it at 5.5 but i will literally have to swipe hours.. okay well not literally.. but it will take a lot of swiping.. I cannot seem to move the orange warning bar or the red limit bar by any other means than by accessing the wheel.
Skyrocket, rogers
CM10 nightly 20130120

Just long press the right hand side of the horizontal bar and move it up or down.

Hey JD1639,
Current ROM: 10-20130120-HIGHTLY-skyrocket.
long press does not seem to be effective for moving the sliders. by tapping the number of GB on the left side gives me access to the number wheel like i mentioned before but its very tedious. Maybe its an issue with this current version of the nightly. I can always try to revert to see if my results change.
I assume its working for you... what ROM are you currently loaded on?
