I think you must go to system setings, notification drawer, and edit widget buttons, an tune brightness by ticking the icon in status bar, that autobrightness is from CM10 that is now ported on O1 and is useless but it wil remain there

Yes I use the brightness clicker widget button from the notification slider but its not as great as the brightness slider how do I make automatic brightness disabled even though I can't even tick or unstick it because there is no ambient light sensor and it still says automatic Britney's is enabled help
that is the problem, it cannot be removed, use stock rom if you want everything stable and fit where it has to be, if not, that is the idea of custom roms, you will have to live with some issues, or just try other rom
ok, maybe you will need to fix permissions to make it work back, make it from terminal with comand "emissions" or from recovery->advanced
or maybe a reset, format system and flash again that rom you use and do a nandroid backup or backup your launcher preferences

Okay I will type emissions in terminal to fix permissions
Does fix permissions delete anything? Is it safe?

Or its bug in rom ,try cm10.1 4.2.2

just reinstall them, use TITANIUM backup for aps that you use daily, I use ICS roms and didn't bother with that,
most important things in a rom is performance/stability/battery life, other things is just playing
the problem is solved or not? try other roms, experiment, try to find what is suitable for you, do not hang on something that you are not able to fix, in time, maybe, you will, but you have to do rom developing/porting, if not, just move foward, this phone was never ment to run ICS/JB, so THX to people that have brought that to this for us to play with

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.
What rom?

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! :/
Does anybody know how to remove the stock sense widget on the lockscreen? I can put my own widgets on other pages but I can't remove the stock sense widget on the main page. Frustrating. Does anybody know how to do this? Or is it possible? I want to use dash clock.
I am curious about this as well and have not been able to find any info about altering the lock screen widget as stated above.
same here. Would like to get that nonsense off my lockscreen
I saw a post in another thread with a screenshot of a very clean lock screen, I have not found it yet though.

If you find it let us know. It might have been for a custom ROM, since the lock screen on stock in blinkfeed based I would assume flashing a ROM and not running blinkfeed would allow the us to change this BUT ideally I want to stay stock (with s-off/root) if I can, so here's hoping something can be worked out.

You should be aware that to use SlideLock you'll need to go to Settings > Security > No Lock Screen, or you'll slide your LS and then the Sense one is right underneath. Also, music controls don't work with SlideLock at this time.

I downloaded this and tried it too and the first thing I did notice was that it was just running over the default lock screen which is what I was hoping to avoid by just altering the default one to suite my needs. It is clean and simple though and I cant imagine it causing too much slow down, a lot of the options are locked though for a pro version that costs $2.73.

Unfortunately I cannot set that due to outlook group policy at my firm. However, after the first two times or so the original lock screen that was behind slide lock is now gone, which is great and unexpected. I will go to the official thread and look for this answer now but how can I disable wifi notifications on the lock screen? I blacklisted "system" and only allow a few apps but this continues to pop up, sometimes more than a handful at at a time.

the system checkbox is only whether you can edit whether or not you can see system apps in the view. Turn that checkbox on and select uncheck all then turn on what you need.

Hi there,
My Galaxy SL's brightness is stuck at very low approx 10%..
Is this related to h/w or s/w? What can I do?
Greetings;
In order to help you need to be more specific.
Tell us:
- Your Firmware Version and if it is stock or custom.
- Kernel
- Apps that you have that may affect the screen light. (DIMMERS)
- If you have already checked the device settings.
Including: trying to togle Auto Dim (on/off).
If it is HW related:
I would check if the screen connections are plugged properly.
If it is SW:
I would try going to settings change value.
Then try toggling Auto mode (on/off).
Verify.
If it aint working install a dimmer application.
(Try twilight or similar)
Try changing its settings and see if you can get more light.
Finally if nothing above works, i would perform a clean install and/or a factory reset.
If you still have the problem after all this. Consider replacing the screen.
Please press Thank button if i helped you as this will keep me motivated to provide help and support to everyone.

I've tried dimmers and toggles but the brightness remains low, BTW i have Cyanogenmod installed on the phone..
I've had one similar situation with Cyanogen ROMs. But i'm not sure if that's the problem.
Have you tried to Flashing the Stock ROM again?
(By Performing a Cllean Flash)
I updated gravity box and installed Android N ify, after that I couldn't use my soft keys. I uninstalled both apps but nothing happened. I am using the latest ROM with ElementalX.

That's why you should always take a backup before you do/try things that can affect your operating system.
A possible solution is to uninstall xposed framework with the flashable uninstaller zip and dirty flashing the ROM you are running. Its possibly a setting you accedently enabled without knowing what you we're doing.

You're first post was on the 24th and you post again today. Have you really been going 5 days without softkeys?
First off, when you say you couldn't use your softkeys, are you saying they are visually their and tapping them does nothing. Or are they gone completely? GravityBox is the only module out of those two that can hide or even disable the softkeys. Did you turn them off in the app under the navigation bar options? There is also an expanded desktop mode in the "display tweaks."
Simply installing gravity box and N-ify shouldn't disable your softkeys as long as you are using everything right.

It was a backup device, I don't know what I did. I uninstalled both apps and still had this issue. And expanded desktop was of when I did it, it appeared that it just didn't simply load.

opo cm 13.1 , just flashed from 12.1 i think.
i was used (like almost a year and a half) to lock my phone with the middle (circle) navigation bar - just long press on it and move my finger up.
after the 13.1 update i just cant find this feautre, has it gone?
Set the middle button as double tap to turn screen off, and have instant lock.

I was in same exact situation after upgrading to Marshmallow. The thing you used to use is called Navigation Ring Targets. Marshmallow removed this functionality in favor of long press Now on tap which I personally hate (don't ask why). So, after that, on Marshmallow I started using Greenify's "Long-press action on nav-bar" option. Just install Greenify, go to Settings, select that option and follow the steps. You'll be set plus you cal also save some precious battery life . I use Fling Nav bar available on various custom ROMs which beyond perfect if you set it up correctly.

I actually don't know about COS 13.1 but every CM based ROM or for that matter AOSP based ROM I've used, had this option. Just search for "Sound" in Settings, if it is there, you're good to go, if not, then I don't know. Even if it is there, it might not work with Greenify's screen off method.
