you should ask questions about a specific ROM inside that thread. Maybe your issue has been solved already.

Did you try to change the values under engery controll? You will find it in your system settings. If your values are to switch off the light after some seconds or minutes it might be a hardware issue with one of the buttons.

Which date does your ROM have?
How did you flash it?
Which Radio do you use?

good for you..!!

i really hate those

one of my LEDs is burnt out. super pissed.

I need to ask.. for those of you that do like the HW LED, doesn't it distract you in any way especially in the evening/nights/dark????
I never understood why SE designers came up with this OR for that matter what was the true intention of these LED's.
On another matter, shouldn't this thread be part of the General sub-forum instead of this Dev area?
Thanks for this info nevertheless.

what does hw stand for...???does disabling led saves battery???

hahaha ...same here... this app did the leftover part..!!

This app is very good for lowering your brightness when you are in the dark,
because the default lowest setting is still very bright for a little-to-no-light enviroment.
But it has to run constantly in the background and uses a lot of CPU,
so I don't think it is wise to be used as a HW LED disabler.
But if you are in the movies and want to check your messages
without people next to you whining about blinding them with your screen, it's superb!

maybe.. but they are so small, practically they could consume nothing... this is just for those who dont like them..

Is it just me, or did the colour of the hw leds change from donut to eclair?

I think that they include it so like if u get a notification, message, text what ever u can just tell by the LED u dont have to slide to unlock it. just seems simpler,faster and easier, could b wrong but

Please tell me how tu disable this LEDs wiht this program, a don't see this option ?
Enable / disable soft-key backlight - no effect on my stock 2.1 Xperia X10 (2.1.A.0.435 + Arc Theme)
Edit:
I read somewhere that it works only on Android 2.2+ ... it's true ?

I like them as an accent piece. They don't bother me and the couple of times my phone has frozen their continued on status was a quick heads up without waiting too long.
Plus I don't pull my phone out in the theatre!

thanks for this, great app

Is there a way to make this app start on phone boot? If there is, could you tell me a "dummy-way" to do it?

Remember it's a percentage, it's representative of the part of battery the screen consumes, for example if wi-fi consumes 2 times less of battery on a rom, the all others percentages in battery will increase to get a total of 100%. Sorry for my english, i hope you understood what i said.

Auto is off, brightness is down. Since my screen is a slcd, the backlight uses a lot of juice anyway.

I knew how slcd was more of a battery hog, but other than keeping the screen off, those are the only solutions I know of

This free app will lower your brightness beyond what the OS can achieve. But be glad your screen is the highest power consumer ... at least you know why it is high i.e. you're using your phone!

What i mean is the lowest brightness and highest brightness could be modify by some control file,
So I googled forum. some one said there is arrays.xml file in framework-res.apk . but i didn't find it.
Does it mean that 4.2.1 changed the way to control brightness. ?
problem 1: auto brightness is too bright at night and little weak at sunlight
problem 2: auto brightness take too much power
problem 3: turn auto brightness off , the lowest brightness is still too bright to reading at night
Give me a hand ! Thanks a lot!

Try screen adjuster. It's made to change the color mostly but will let you change brightness more as well. You can make the screen pretty dark. Can't speak to 4.2 but works on 4.1.2 and the app was updated in Sept as opposed to the beginning of last year.

You need to change the levels in the source then compile the full build to get framework modified. Lowest level was changed from 35 to 10 with ICS and in JB 4.1. Might be that they've put it back to 35 now.

Nexus 5 - vibration intensity ?

Hi all, never owned a nexus phone previously but just ordered from play N5 - coming from S4.
Just got a quick question... Is the vibration intensity adjustable on the N5 or even LG G2 like it is on my S4?
Thanks in advance

Hmmm... played around with it all night and can't find the Vibration intensity setting anywhere. There is also no settings for displaying battery percentage.
Looks like i may have been a bit spoiled with touch wiz.

Download a custom kernel that support it and install trickster on Google play to control it.
And there's a app call battery widget reborn that will show your a battery percent on the top left. This phone hasn't even been release a week yet.
Lol but no touch wiz did not spoiled you the nexus 5 support will suck you in if you like customizing your android.

For G2, yes the vibration intensity is adjustable. I'm waiting for N5 in the mail, but my N4 wasn't adjustible.

On the Nexus 5 the intensity isnt adjustable. On my Nexus 5 the vibration is really low...

the intensity is adjustable...at least for the haptic feedback when typing
I have a mushy annoying vibration when typing...especially when typing fast.
I did RMA my Phone and the new phone is allready on the way to me (still have the old one)
After i did RMA i found out that the haptic feedback is adjustable....i put it on 1ms for typing....now it is less annoying and feels kinda normal....but not as crisp as it should imho.
I will receive the new one tomorrow and will compare them......who knows how the new phone will be (dust, dead pixels).....if there is anything like that i´ll keep the old one....if i am allowed to...i heard google forces you to keep the new device....anybody knows that for sure?

Yes it is thanks to custom kernels like Franco or Faux.

vibration config on the playstore will sort you out!

It´s adjustable without custom kernel or any app...
just go to settings -->Language & Input
there you will find Google Keyboard and at the right of it there is a symbol (haven´t seen it for the first few days)
Push it and you will find an extra poined called "advanced settings"
There you can change the vibration feedback for typing

Wondering how the new one compared to the first one you bought? My vibration is also quite mushy (not crisp/sharp like my GNex nor the Moto X) and I'm wondering if I have a bad unit or if that is how the vibration was intended to be...

I don't think so, I did it before and I couldn't find anything, just root it. it's really easy.
by the way that APP works great.

Hi guys, is there any way I can increase vibration strength permanently by editing a file instead of using a root app? I tried doing what Vibration Config does by going into /sys/devices/virtual/timed_output/vibrator/amp and changing the value from 60 to 95, which works, but on a reboot it keeps changing back. Any idea how to keep it permanent? Thanks

It changes back because the kernel sets everything back to default, which is why kernel apps have a "set on boot" option. It also requires root access to be able to modify such values.
You can:
- compile a kernel yourself and change the default
- use a kernel app to set on boot
- use tasker to change the value on boot
- change it manually every time

An init.d file can do the job also.

Yeah forgot about that halfway through writing the post, but you also need support for init.d in kernel ramdisk.

High Brightness Mode Widget

Hello, I'm looking for testers for High Brightness Mode Widget: mod edit: link removed
have promo codes for the first five people to post here and willing to report back to me.
It will make your screen extremely bright at the touch of a button. However, it requires root.
Works on other Samsung devices with AMOLED screens, so it will probably work on the s7, but I need confirmation.

can test it if u want
got a G935F , Exynos Version

I can test. Pm me

Yes, it's really bright. I wouldn't use it indoors. It's for direct sun, or bright environments like beaches or snowy areas.

What do you mean? I've heard that there is some issue with brightness on Samsung but I don't know what it is.
I'm pretty sure this widget does something different than you think. It kicks the screen into a different hardware mode that is extremely bright. Much brighter than turning the brightness slider up all the way.
