I find that the auto-brightness on our phone doesn't reduce to the minimum possible! Is there a setting I'm not seeing?
I always use the widget to control it because it can take it much lower than the auto brightness does.
...so are there any fixes, or would we need a custom kernel to be able do that?
Auto brightness is just very inefficient. I've been using manual brightness on this and my previous phone for a long time. You could use an app such as Screen Filter which reduces the brightness, but it seems to make the colours look a bit washed out to me.
With regards to a custom ROM or kernel, I have no idea whether this would help, but I've never seen changes to the auto brightness function on any previous custom ROM I've ever used.

From what i know, You would need a custom Kernel.. try getting ' My Settings ' From market ... gives as much control as possible to ur stock ROM for screen brightness as possible along with a host of other useful toggles.
Be sure to add a SHORTCUT onto ur home screenm for easy access
it has improved my battery life quite a bit !
I don't understand how they could screw up such a simple thing!
I'm running froyo... does gingerbread fix the auto brightness?
Vibration intensity of haptic feedback is high and irritating is there anyway to reduce it?
I'm wanting the complete oppisite
are you running stock rom or custom?
Stock, is cyanogen mod good? Doesn't it have any lag or freezes or anything like that.

Not at all. For most people, CyanogenMod will provide a speed increase and better battery life (along with a massive amount of customization options).
And it does have haptic feedback adjustment options, although I have never looked into it.
I don't believe it is possible to adjust the haptic feedback on stock Android.
Hi, I have almost eveything set the way I want but my last issue is the vibration intensity is too low. In gingerbread & foyo there was an intensity slider bar under Settings/Sound but no where to be found on ICS. I even installed an app to set custom vibration patterns to vibrate longer but I can't feel it in my pocket.
Does anyone know know how to increase the intensity for calls & notifications?
Thanks!
I didn't even realize that. I came from CM7 to ICS, and CM7's haptic feedback setting were amazing. Though in ICS. The Vibration seems powerful enough for me. My issue is not having the ringer, and notification volumes seperated.

under sound/volumes you need to deselect link volumes.
not found.
I'm using Team Hacksung's ROM. I can't find the option you mentioned anywhere. I'm guessing it's not implemented yet? I'll go ask over there. Thanks.
Yeah the vibration intensity is low on ICS. But I found out the only way to get normal vibration (like in Gingerbread) for Message Notification was to use a different Message app, like "GO SMS Pro" which gives me the normal vibration when I get incoming messages. So try using "GO SMS Pro" and see if it works for you.

App to control this
Do you know if there's an app or something to control this in ICS? The default haptic feedback is much to weak for my tastes.
Semaphore kernel allows vibration intensity control in v 1.0.0, and with that you can use NStools
Sent from my CM9 ICS i897 Captivate
I checked NSTools, and it doesn't mention being able to change vibration intensity.
Is it the kernel itself that allows this to be set? If so, is it a compiled option in the kernel, or what?
I'm not sure I understand how this tool works in conjunction with this kernel to allow setting this.

Hi all! My Note is running 2.3.6 LC stock software with root.
I heard that there is an option in Kj mode, which helps to tune auto-brightness levels. I would like to ask you, is it possible to implement such thing into my ROM? For me the default auto-brightness tune is too bright for me and I want to tune it. Actua)y I want it to work, but on te lowest levels range. What filesI should edit for this?
Many thanks in advance!

why not use the unofficial JKay mod's mod for LC1 by _giggino_ (check last week's posts in the original thread)?
Yes.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235212
Another option is to use a program like Screen Filter, as this lowers the brightness on the AMOLED screen universally
Wow, thanks a lot! I'll try it now
Does anyone know what the exact stock kernel settings are, and can we set a custom kernel to those EXACT settings?
No matter what tweaks I do, I cannot get any custom kernel (Franco, leankernel, elementalx etc) to be as smooth as the stock kernel. The only reason I like using a custom kernel is to tweak RGB color settings. Aside from that I don't need any other changes.
Essentially I'm looking for the stock kernel with RGB color options. Does this exist?

if its a stock kernel, then no. since those options arent in stock. only a custom kernel will include those options. even if its close to stock, its not a stock kernel.
Right. I don't mean it so literally. I don't care if its a custom kernel. I'm just looking for a kernel that has all the stock governor and frequency settings but with RGB color tweaking added.
No matter what I do to a custom kernel, they still stutter and lag significantly more than the stock kernel.

set up the custom kernel the same way as you set up the stock kernel. custom kernels change the cpu setting many times, and you dont have to use it in that custom way. you can always set up custom kernels they way you want it, like i do as well. i dont use custom kernels with their default settings, i set them up how i like them.
Yeah, that's really what I'm looking for. By chance, do you know all the stock kernel settings that I would want to change something like leankernel to in order to get the complete stock feel.
I know in another thread you said you use ondemand with sampling_rate set to 15000 and the up_threshold set to 98. This definitely helped but I'm still getting some stuttering, mainly when unlocking the device. Aside from the above settings, what else would you recommend tweaking to get as close to stock as possible?
Thanks for your help!

well, stock is set at 2649 max with a 1497mhz for a minimum(not lower), with mpdecision and boost enabled. i believe its also set to have interactive as the governor(but i dont know the stock interactive settings). and what do you mean when unlocking the device? on the lockscreen?
Thanks!
Yeah, it's so strange, with both stock rooted and Pure Shamu, no matter which kernel/settings I use, other than stock, I get this very noticeable stutter on the status bar and nav bar appearing when unlocking the device. It also happens on the first couple times of opening the app drawer after a deep sleep. I've tried everything and can't get it to go away. The only thing that fixes it is the stock kernel. It's baffling me, really.

thats an odd behavior, as i never get a "lag' in the lock screen, or in the app drawer. but i keep my phone at 3033mhz high/300mhz low. even on other settings, thats never happened. do you use the google now launcher?

I use Nova. I tried switching back to Google Now and that didn't solve it. I might give 3033/300 a try and set it to stick to that. You use that setting with ondemand governor and sampling_rate set to 15000 and the up_threshold set to 98?

yup. i also disable mpdecision.
with a terminal emulator app..
su(press enter)
stop mpdecision(press enter)
---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 PM ----------
also, you might have to play with the voltage for 3033mhz. im a bin 5, and had to raise the voltage at 3033mhz to 1185mV(from thee default 1175) to get it so it wont crash. btw, elementalx kernel only does the 3033mhz
Sounds great. Thanks for all the info. I'll adjust all the settings to your recommendations except I'll keep max at the default 2649 for now to see if that solves the issue. I don't think I'll need to overclock past that to solve the issue (hopefully).
Thanks again.

oh, and btw, the oc does very little to reduce battery life. i get about the same battery with or without the oc, about 5.5-7 hours sot, depending what im doing.
Yeah, battery life hasn't been an issue for me on this phone no matter what I change. Love that! :highfive:

I get the exact same behavior on any non-stock kernel - which is why I went back to stock. I'm also using Nova.

Well, I don't believe it's nova that causes it because I get it with the Google Now launcher/custom kernel as well.
I will say that it's been a few hours with the following settings and I haven't experienced a single stutter. Pretty happy so far.
Lean Kernel (franco will probably work just the same)
Governor: ondemand
min freq - 300
max freq - 2649
sampling_rate - 15000
up_threshold - 98
mpdecision off

I should have reported back. I ended up going back to the stock kernel again. Even with those ideal settings I was starting to get the stuttering again. And I even got a few SOD's.
I spent some time reading up on it some more and from what I can tell, pretty much all custom kernels seem to have issues from stuttering, lag, SODs etc. with any given governor. The kernel developers are hard at work to fix this but even Franco and flar have said they still have a lot of work to do before their kernels can be 100% functional and reliable.
I've gone back to the stock kernel and everything is perfect. The only downside for me is that I have no RGB controls so I have to live with the 255,255,255 RGB settings for now. But I'll take that and a 100% fluid phone over bugs.
Cf lumen by chainfire has some colour changing abilities in master mode. Not sure if it helps you.
