Need Help with Vijay Lumos Workaround using HTC Home prog

With Kaiser not having a transreflective screen, I've really been missing the ability to map a key to toggle the screen brightness like I could with Vijay Lumos III on Hermes.
I don't use the HTC Home screen, but today I activated it and played with it some. I found that it has an app preloaded in the Launcher tab that toggles the display in 4 steps from Low to Hi and back. Using the add function I can see this application as "Adjust Backlight" along with most all of the other programs loaded on the unit.
I would like to create a shortcut link to this app and then map a hardkey to do this function, however for the life of me I can't find this program! I'm hoping that there is some kind soul that can help me locate this prog so that it can be used outside of the HTC Home Screen. I've been looking for a couple of hours and it's got me whipped.
In \Windows I found HH_Launcher Backlight.png which is the icon for the app.
Hopefully I'm not the only one who whould like to have this capability

bump.
Looking to do something like this as well.
found WkTASK (http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html) which is a nice utility and is supposed to have a brightness and volume control. Everything BUT the brightness and volume control work on my tilt however.

Here's what I've done to work around this... using AE Button Plus, I've mapped the center dpad button ("enter") with standard behavior on single click, and I've mapped a press/hold to the "backlight" application. This brings up the app in settings that lets you set the brightness levels for "on battery" and "powered". Since it wakes up with the "on battery" section active, you then just have to use the "left/right" dpad buttons to turn the brightness up or down (and down/up flips between the battery and on power settings). Not quite a one-click fix, but a click of the center button, and a few of the right button will brighten your screen fairly easily.
The trick here was that AEBPlus didn't want to map directly to the backlight.exe file. When telling it to map the press/hold to an application, it simply didn't appear in the list (even thought I could see it in the directory). Perhaps it hides system files to keep you from accidentally doing something bad. So I had to make a shortcut to backlight.exe, then map AEBPlus to the shortcut.
Kind of a clunky workaround, but it works.

[Q] Panda home, black screen, confused.

Hiya,
I'm after a wee bit of direction on an issue that I've got with my SGS.
I normally use Launcher Pro, however I thought that I would give Panda Home a little go. When I launched it through Home Switcher the SGS froze, and the screen went blank. The idle swipe screen will still appear and the notification bar still operates normally, however none of the bottom touch keys are working and there is no button available to press to get into the app drawer and access Home Switcher to change it back.
Any advice and direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

[Q] Under Screen Button Lights

Hello developers, I wanted to ask you a problem i met via watching film on my milestone. When I watch film in dark, the underscreen button lights (back,menu,home,Search) annoy my eyes. Is there a way to turn their lights off while watching videos or films?

you can use the automatic backlight tweak feature which is available in many cstom roms to edit values for those buttons and set them to turn off.

There's an app on Market called Screen Filter. Leave the brightness on 100% on the app and uncheck the option "Enable soft-key backlight". It works for me.

thanks for helping

Hello [SP]JESTER

Just created an account so I could get some help with
[Rom] 8/23/2012 - LiquidSmooth *CM9* No-Kexec *V1.1* JMOD
Im running it but like angryjello the buttons at the bottom stay lit up killing battery.
also chargers dont seem to work if its a cheap cable and not very well if its not a wall charger.
also would like some more custom options like lock screens, menu background colors and notification bar colors also I liked the loading spiral thing from stock blur instead of the spinning circle is there anyway to implement that into the build?
sorry for all the questions and it being here but I have to get 10 posts
other than that I love this build thanks for all the hard work
Thank you

To get your bottom row capacitive buttons to fade off when the screen is off, make sure that your screen brightness is set to auto.

Portrait mode orientation

Hi, got my T5 recently and met with some strange and annoying problems with regards to orientation/rotation with apps such as Tradingview and Investing.com, which somehow insists the bottom side of the portrait mode be the side where the power button is located. Though I doubt the problem is with the apps. Anyone saw the same and have any solution/suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Homescreen rotation stuck on portrait mode.
Had a problem with the homescreen which stuck at portrait mode even the auto-rotate function was turned on (blue in task bar and on in screen settings). Was really annoying, suddenly all other apps rotate but not the home screen ?
Found out there is a dedicated setting for the home screen, hold your finger on the homescreen background for a couple of seconds and the screen will give you access to widgets, wallpapers and a setting button which leads to another homescreen setting which also have a auto-rotate switch. That was somehow turned off in my case. After switching it back on it works again. Apps and Homescreen rotation fixed.
