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?

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
so I had almost decided to give up my One X for something newer (I have been looking at Xiaomi MI3 ), but I wanted to give the One X one last shot.
I have no other problem with my Evita except for the battery life - so that is the one thing I wanted improved. This post is not for people who are already getting 4-5 hours of screen-on time. But I was barely getting through HALF A DAY on my evita.
WARNING: this will format your entire phone - including SDCARD and the whole system. So make sure your system is backed up. Also make sure that you are S-OFF.
step 1 - upgrade the firmware/hboot to 2.18. A lot of you will flash the RUU for this - I went for the simpler method (thanks @timmaaa ) using the firmware here.
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 218firmware.zip
If the output ends with "FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)", run the previous command again. If it ends with "INFO..... OK", just reboot to the bootloader with this command:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
step 2 - upgrade recovery to TWRP 2.7.1.0
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-evita.img
step 3 - boot to recovery. in TWRP run a full wipe . EVERYTHING. Reboot to recovery.
step 4 - boot to recovery. advanced -> fix permissions. Reboot to recovery.
step 5 - boot to recovery. copy your ROM and gapps to "internal_sd" (note if you see your folder as "/sdcard", then try wiping and rebooting again). I used cm-11-20140718-NIGHTLY-evita.zip and pa_gapps-modular-micro-4.4.4-20140716-signed.zip
step 6 - boot normally and setup your android. reboot to recovery
step 7 - download bubba kernel as well as normalToQV script. install from recovery.
step 8 - Download PurePerformanceX and install through recovery.
step 9 - boot normally
step 10 - go to your brightness settings and click the small settings icon next to the brightness bar. Set sensitivity to "very high" and click adjust (this will cause the evita to react quickly to ambient light changes). Also (and this bit is a little hard to explain) you need to set the system so that it is dimmer than necessary. The Evita's backlight is actually too bright for its own good and consumes a lot of power. So reduce the intensity of backlight at all "levels"
Step 11 - remember to turn off NFC. You can switch off other networks off too, but I keep GPS at high accuracy most of the time.
Ste 12 - with full credit to @timmaaa through this post. I have made some changes in the text below
"First (and I'm not sure if this is relevant because I am still waiting for my OPO to be delivered) thing is to enter Privacy Guard through Settings (if it exists), then click Advanced or Show Built-In Apps. From here you can select Google Play Services and turn off everything except for location.
Next you need to download Android Tuner. Open it and go to Android Tuner -> Sidebar Menu -> Apps Manager -> Application Startups, open the box at the top and change it to All, click the button in the bottom-right until it says System, scroll to Google Play Services and select it, a huge list will open, scroll to very near the bottom and find the Wakeup option, uncheck the box.
Again, open Android Tuner it and pull out the side menu on the left, and go to Android Tuner -> Sidebar Menu -> Apps Manager -> Application Manager. Then select the "Apps" tab and Click the centre box at the bottom until it says System, scroll to find Google Play Services and highlight it, press the Manage button in the bottom-right and select Permissions. This should bring you to the Perms tab, swipe across to the Services tab. In this list you want to uncheck anything that starts with Ads or Analytics, you also want to uncheck anything that starts with com.Google.android.location.reporting as well.
Doing all of this has completely stopped Play Services from draining the battery for me."

I am now getting close to 4 hours screen on time. Keeping my fingers crossed - will update this thread if there power consumption goes down. Do note that I already have whatsapp, facebook, truecaller, twitter running - so power consumption is a realistic indication.
Good guide. I think it might belong in General though, I'll ask for it to be moved for you.
Sent from my Evita
Yes. Very good guide. Question, what would one benefit by setting that brightness thing to very high? I noticed there are very high,high,medium and low. I never understood those settings. Could you help me understand ? ?

What you're doing is setting the sensitivity to high, it's kinda like fooling the phone into thinking the ambient light is brighter than it actually is and therefore lowering the brightness of the backlight. Of course this is only relevant for auto-brightness. It's to combat the fact that this device over compensates for ambient brightness and unnecessarily raises the brightness of the backlight.
Sent from my Evita
So on that note,its safe to say that having it on very high helps battery? Would it help in the aspects of making the phone brighter in let's say..daylight?
@marknoll - let me elaborate. What I meant was that the screen should be dimmer than default. And sensitivity is very high,so that the screen responds fairly quickly to changes in ambient light. I did NOT mean screen should be brighter than normal. The Evita screen consumes a LOT of power. My apologies if my language was a bit confusing. I'll correct it once I get to my laptop
@sandy. Dude. I'm not referring to u . I was asking in my behalf. Not yours
really glad you shared your method with us........ me too thought of mi3 but my attraction for evita is still enough to use though my only problem is battery life like you..... does your method works for sense roms as well.... il give it a try anyways though...

@paras33 - I suggest you dont try this method with sense ROMs. I'm not sure about the interplay of recovery 2.7.1.0 with sense roms. Especially the whole "internal_sd/sd0" vs "/sdcard" differences. I do recommend that you try the particular CM rom that I pointed to - you might really like it !
How to change settings for PurePerformanceX ?

I think you should go and ask this on the Evita sense rom thread (e.g. ViperXL). I'm not sure if TWRP 2.7.1 and PurePerformanceX are compatible with sense
I am unable to boot up with bubba. I always get stuck on the boot animation. No matter how long I wait it just stays there. I've tried with and without the voltage script.

Did you follow the exact steps that I have outlined? This means your phone was clean-wiped. You shouldn't have had this issue - can u confirm?
Yes. I wiped everything. I wiped several times just to make sure it was clean. O forgot to mention i am running candykat rom, which may be the issue. I asked in their q/a thread about bubba with no answer. I had tried bubba before this also and had same issue. I can run torched OK. When I have time I may try again with a full wipe but I need to back some things up first.

So I found the problem. I had been using art runtime. I switched back to dalvik and booted fine. Apparently it does not like art.

I've just encrypted my Nexus 5 under Android 5.0 and I was hoping I could set a decryption PIN just for the startup boot process, and not every time I unlock my phone. I haven't managed to find a way to do this, though: it's possible to enable a startup PIN if you enable the lock screen PIN, but I don't see a way to simply enable a startup PIN.
My goal is simple: to secure my phone when it's powered off, while making it comfortable to use when it's powered on. Can this be done?
Thank you!
Not by standard. Not sure what affects using apps that turn the secure lock on and off will have. You can test them.

i'd say you want your phone to boot if you loose it (so you can track it), don't you think?

That's reasonable in most cases. But there are situations and circumstances in which the data privacy has a higher priority than the ability to track the phone. Anyway the question can be considered independently from its motivations: can I separate the encryption key from the lock screen key? According to issue 29468 and this discussion, it seems it's still not possible.

according to this:
http://source.android.com/devices/tech/encryption/
out of the box, no because the lock screen password/PIN/ is used to encrypt the actual encryption key (randomly generated)
thank you very much b/c indirectly you answered the question I had (the reason I was browsing this thread), namely the boot password thinggy (as I said I'd like the phone to boot, baring an exploit, it's well protected: bootloader relocked, long password, impossible to flash anything without wiping - I sign my builds cm-12 with my own keys, and I crippled the recovery to allow only signed zips-, and no adb -even in recovery- connection outside my own computer, I installed cerberus in the system partition without a backup script, the only way to get rid of it is to explicitly format the system partition, and above all I don't trust the phone ).
that said, it should be possible may be to fiddle with vold's sources to make it so (separate passwords, it shouldn't be too hard ) the only problem in the absence of an "official" solution (be it in AOSP or the flavor du jour Android) the user is backed into a corner : build his own ROM from sources.
I'm on Marshmallow and use SmartLock, so under the right conditions no unlock is required. However, at switch on there is nevertheless always still a screen to be swiped away (clock and emergency contact). Does anyone know a way of eliminating that stage, so that switch on goes directly to the desktop?
Thanks.

Thanks. But I'm afraid you missed the point. I use the lock screen, and I want to continue doing so. What I want to eliminate is the swipe screen that appears under the circumstances I've described.
I seemed to have lost the camera icon from my home screen (not lock screen) and can't get it back. i have looked at all posts related to finding the icon and no luck. I have an A42 %g phone and all options i try come up empty. No where can i find an icon to push and hold to transfer to the home screen. Can anyone lend a helping hand??? Any help is appreciated. thanks

Think back to what happened before this occurred. Any new apps or unusual behavior?
Malware or spontaneous corruption is a possibility.
Factory reset if you give up trying to track it down or can't. Reflash stock rom if that fails.
didn't really do anything. must have been inadvertent. Opened up my phone to take a pic and the icon that used to be att the bottom of my home page was gone. Tried to find the icon to restore it to that location but cannot find one. I can double tap the power button to open it but cannot find the icon. Tried everything i know and still nothing,
