[Q] quesiton about mohan's embryo 5.1 rom

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.

Mi4C "backlight flickering"

Hi guys,
First sorry for my english, im french..xD
I have some "backlight flickering" problem on my MI4C.
There is quick varitions of backlight intensity at random times.
I had this problem with MIUI so i flashed cm-12.1-20151016, and more problems.
But i updated to CM12.1 cm-12.1-20151112-UNOFFICIAL-libra and the problem is back.
Do you have a solution ??
Thanks.

I noticed that suddenly the screen will get very bright, quite annoying.

Ty for you answer, but it's not just the brightness who change but more the backlight doing like flashes.
I found a youtube video with similar problem.
But i cant post link.
You can find it on youtube typing :Sony Xperia Z1 backlight flickering.

I watched the Video, but i have never seen this in my Mi4c.
https://youtu.be/uaGPgP_mmcQ

In miui the problem should be already fixed in 5.11.5, at least this is in the changelog.

Wow it is weird. I don't have that either (nor miui nor cm)

Yes i saw this for miui but i didnt tried, i changed for CM12.1 just before.
But i didn't saw the problem on the first CM build.
It's strange.

It happened to me twice. 5.11.5 the problem still continues. Now I use 5.11.12 not yet any flickering:fingers-crossed:

What if you change the level of adaptive display ? It is like you are on the edge between two different states and the phone doesn't know which one to choose.

I tried with low or high level of brightness and with adaptativ display on and off.
Same.

Hi everybody,
It happened again today so i tried differents things:
-Disabled Double Tap 2 Wake (1 of the new feature of the cm update): useless
-Turn ON the option to Disable HW Overlays (I saw on internet that can solve some screen flickering problems): wait and see
there is a risk ??
-I enabled performance mod on battery settings:
Is it good or not ?
Is it useless if im already using kernel adiutor set in on demand ??
Thanks.

I had a similiar problem with my Mi4 and managed to solve the problem by flashing this kernel after flashing CM: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24686681827314188
Little downside is; the kernel has a double-tap-to-wake-feature, which gives me some random unlocks in my pocket.

?? change button brightness

Hello folks,
does anybody know, if it is possible to change the brightness of the capacitive buttons? Maybe some kind of app or xposed module? It is really a pain in the eye, if the display itself is acceptably dark but everytim you use the buttons it is like a kind of little flash - and yes, i know that i can disable them. But that is not the thing i want.

Hi
Is not quite what you want...is an old app and i have not tested on the S7
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor&hl=es

Thanks, but this is a simple overlay for the display. I am looking for something to dim the buttons only.

Hi
Check this app
Or this thread is for the S6 and you need to be root but probably works

Since those buttons are LEDs, correct me if I am wrong, you could adjust their brightness PWM style but that would require an app that would disable and enable them many times a second to not see flickering. That would eat some processing power, albeit little. And I am also pretty sure this would require root if it's actually possible at all. Don't know about any apps that do this, also wanted one for myself.

If you're in a power saving mode, it disables the button lights.

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.

No luck, I'll probably go back to rooted stock 10. I can't use the phone without root and Fingerface.

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.

Question Led notification light

Howdy!
I am trying to set that when I receive a message, it will show a small notification light on the mobile, like I used to have on previous android, but cannot find any option for it...
Is it possible that a so modern phone does not have it?
Thanks

There's physically no led notification light anywhere on the phone that could light up.
You can search for apps on the Play Store that sort of try to imitate having one, but afaik none of them work reliably anymore.

"lackness"
I'm fairly sure that it's been dropped industry-wise for many many years now, much like the 3.5mm jack.
Ambient/Always-on-Display is sort of a replacement for having a notification light though, might want to look deeper into configuring it. I think there's also 3rd party apps that let you configure your AOD even further.

You can be right again, maybe I am old fashioned but I found it useful.
I initially deactivated the AOD for reducing distractions, but I can activate it again if this is only way to see notification without pushing power button to activate screen again

Don't get me wrong, I used to be an absolute sucker for an led notification light.
Keep in mind that AOD and Ambient Display aren't the same. AOD, as the name suggests, keeps the screen always on, whereas Ambient Display just wakes the screen whenever you receive a notification. I only have the latter turned on.

most phones now doesn't have big bezels not only 6a. so where will you put that notification light? the best you can do.. use a rom with an oldschool feature, that will blink flashlight for notification. like this..

There are actually several phones out that also don't have big bezels but there's a tiny notification led hidden behind/next to the earpiece. Common sense.

I use this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.aodnotificationledlight
You can configure it so that it 'flashes' only a few times when a notification comes in. So far I haven't noticed any battery drain.

Not intentionally... I quoted 2, but created 3 lines, I tried to remove yours but without success for the tag part

Already suggested but 1 more vote for HoleyLight.
Chainfire is a community member and respected dev and the app is pretty configurable. Should probably cover your needs nicely.
