Hi!
I'm new in this Forum and want to thank all you for your helpful posts!
I searched a lot, but I didn't find any solution for this problem (which seems to irritate also other users):
After upgrading to Android 2.2.1, 'Auto Brightness' does not work anymore. The problem is, that the Display gets brighter in the sun, but it does not reduce brightness in shade - which is very battery intense and irritating while driving in tunnels.
What I did so far:
+ checked and unchecked the 'Auto Brightness' setting many times ;-)
+ used widgets like 'extended controls' in the hope their settings will overwrite the problematic system-settings
+ was searching for the app "Auto Brightness" (SIMMO Publications) - which might be able to overwrite system settings. But downloading this app is not available for me (maybe because of country restrictions)
+ I rooted the phone - also for other reasons. With root I hope I can also reduce the minimum brightness level of 'Auto Brightness', which would be helpful using it as an alarmclock next to the bed.
Does anybody have an idea?
Best wishes from Austria!
No ideas to the Auto-Brightness Problem? People from Android-Pit-Forum didn't find a solution. So I changed to the forum with the best reputation ....XDA.. ;-)
It seems, that the light-sensor works well... because the button-light goes on and off according to the surrounding light intensity ...
Any idea or hint?
that's not a bug, that's a feature!
anyway - CM7 has the option just like you ask for - auto adjusting brightness to lower setting. there are also hysteresis options so you can prevent the brigtness going up and down all the time.

Thanx MuF123 for your answer!
This feature sounds great ... but I feel not ready to install CM7. All in all I am happy with my system right now. I learnded in the last two Android-years, that big changes for solving small problems can cause even more problems and time-intense problem solving actions... especially for me as a beginner.
So, does anybody know about a root-app or a module (eg. out of CM7) just for solving this auto brightness bug/feature ;-) ?
It would be very helpfull for me and others ...
this feature is in
Settings > CM Extra > Display > Automatic backlight > "Allow light decrease"
I wanted to tell you just so you can ask someone else about this exact feature, maybe the "CM Extra" can be installed as stand-alone app? Dunno, try to ask in CM7 thread.

Hi!
Unfortunately I am not allowed to post into the developement-forum...
Senior User 'MuF123' informed me, that CM7 has this feature, which I miss a lot (Settings > CM Extra > Display > Automatic backlight > "Allow light decrease").
My questions:
Can the app "CM Extra" be installed as stand-alone app in my rooted Milestone with Froyo 2.2.1?
Or is there another solution for me?
Not possible. Its integrated to the framework.

You mentioned an app "Auto Brightness" (SIMMO Publications) before. try to download that app after faking your network using "marketenabler" from market.
just my 2 cents
You can try the widgetsoid app from market.
Great idea!
Thanx. First I have to reanimate my milestone ... I killed it with deinstalling all Launchers ... stupidity pure

I tested widgetsoid ... but it didn't work.
The app "Auto Brightness" (SIMMO Publications) is not in the market any more ...
... hmm any ideas, how to solve this problem? See my starting post below...

Please read this post through thoroughly before downloading.
This app allows you to control your CPU voltages with an easy to use interface. You can increase or decrease voltages (undervolt or overvolt) for all frequencies or fine tune voltages for each individual frequency.
! HTC DEVICES, currently only single core devices are supported !
! ROOT is Required !
! Kernel that supports HAVS or SVS voltage adjustment REQUIRED !
In addition, if you are an Incredikernel user, the app may also be used to toggle Incredikernel specific features on and off, namely USB fast charging and audio boost.
Get it over at http://www.incredikernel.com
IncrediControl is now also available in the market:
IncrediControl
IncrediControl - Ad Free
Additionally, all donators are eligible to receive the Ad Free version. It doesn't matter how much or how little you donate or have donated. If you don't want to purchase the app from the market, you may donate using the button on this page. Please register on the site first and include your username in the comments box.
All previous donators, please register on the site if you have not done so and contact me with your username!
NOTE: The settings in the general tab are only functional in kernels that have implemented the simple sysfs interfaces for usb fast charging and audio boost. If you toggle them, its not going to break anything, but they won't work and the app may crash. If you would like your kernel dev to implement the interfaces, please direct them to these two commits:
https://github.com/Chad0989/android_kernel_common/commit/a7c21fa0391c225900f93960362535179c0cecc9
https://github.com/Chad0989/android_kernel_common/commit/41dc138bae23dc7582de72a4d9895aaa8e1f8b2d
NOTE2: It is a requirement of the HAVS adjustment that the kernel you are using has the HAVS sysfs interface implemented. If it does not, it will not work. Most non-stock gingerbread kernels have the HAVS adjustment. Very few sense kernels have the adjustment. I believe ziggy's latest is the only one that does.
NOTE3: Before using, please delete any boot scripts you may have in /etc/init.d that toggle any of the settings this app controls.
Get it at http://www.incredikernel.com
Restore script - use this if you went too low and find yourself in a boot loop. Flash through recovery:

This excites me.
Neat

Hey Preview 2 has the HAVS, I think you should put the minus on the left of each number field. So that way it's like
- [voltage] +

I concur. And will this work on the incredikernel?
J/k on the the question part (because I know someone will take that seriously ). Great work, chad.
Chad, here's something to ponder or consider. Please think about putting in some way to back-up your settings. That way when flashing new roms you could just restore from back rather than settings all again. Just a thought.
Great thanks!
I know viperboy was working on something similar.
I have to say though your aggressive undervolt package is the tits. It is rock solid for me, and I can't lower anything -25v from there without crashing.

@everyone: Anyone try it on other devices that have havs + sysfs interface? Evo, desire?
effing sweet..... no more term emulator for me
Chad, I've noticed that after I reboot the phone and go back into the app, the boxes for "set on boot" are unticked.
Also I know you already know this but it's sort of a pain in the ass to set the SD card speed (your other app) after every boot, so if you could do a "set on boot" for that one too that'd be awesome.
Keep up the good work, I like how every time I check back here you have a bunch of updates
I've noticed after installing a new nightly with no wipes, the values revert to stock, even with set on boot.

The boxes are unticked on purpose, so that the file is only written when you specify that you want to set the current settings on boot. The other option is to have it ticked when the boot script is found, but then you would have to untick it when you want to just play with voltages (but not change your boot script) and then tick it again to set on boot. Would everyone prefer it that way?
I should also specify that when you tick set on boot, you also must click set in order to truly set it on boot. There is also the option to have it write the file when set on boot is ticked. I just need to know what everyone's preference is.
SDspeed might be added to a future release and would have the set on boot option.

That's because new nightlies overwrite the /system folder where the boot script is stored. I'll probably add a backup option too so you can load the defaults, either that or change over to storing the values in a database and loading them via the app on boot as opposed to the boot script.
Looks cool.
Backup database - yes!
Default set on boot once it's been ticked - yes!
Thanks for this, Chad!

CM7 latest Nightly
7/19/2011 - Preview 3:
Changes include:
Added +/- All Min and All Max buttons
Reordered the + and – buttons to flank the voltages to clean up the layout a bit.
Removed the title bar for more vertical screen space
Next up is feature checking / disabling of functions your kernel doesn’t support as well as voltage checking.

Love it, fast and simple volt changing.. Makes viperMOD ancient news.
Is there a way to disable voodoo color in semaphore kernel? I tried downloading voodoo control from market and reset gamma colors to default but the colors does not look like stock

I have the exact same problem. I installed semaphore for the bigmem, but I hate the colours. Voodoo colours may look better at higher brightness levels, but I always use my phone at minimum brightness, and the colours on the semaphore kernal are pretty lousy. I downloaded Voodoo Control to adjust it, but I still can't get the colours on stock kernel.
I no longer use the Semaphore kernal as I'm not on a Samsung rom at the moment, but as far as I can remember it required copying a script to the init.d folder and rebooting. I'm sure it'll be mention in the OP of the kernal thread.
You could try adjusting it to get any colour you prefer. Since, you know, you have all the options in the world.
Or you could buy an iPhone if you want less options.
i tried adjusting it but it was not like stock ones and i also h8 the green flash when screen goes off

You have the ability to adjust it to any colour you want, but you couldn't find the right one.
... the Apple store is that way, buddy. It sounds like you have way too much freedom.
why u keep talking about apple and iphone? i dun like ios and i dun want to buy one
No one know how to disable it??

Voodoo - colour profile set to original.
Screen rgb multipliers set reset.
Screen v1 gamma hack reset to 2.3.3.
This will give you clear speedmod neutral colours.Sorry you cannot get stock colour on custom kernel butt this will bring you close to stock.
Hi, can i ask,
1. Can i just change the lcd density from build.prop if im using rooted stock 4.03 lpf? If i change to 240, any problem will occur?
2. How can i set stay awake when usb plugged in this rom?
3. Do we have crt animation? Is it samsung ruin it and have to wait them fix it?
Thx everyone
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium HD app
Ofcourse you can ask
1. Use ROM Toolbox Lite (Free) Application from market. Now go to Performance Tab & You can tweak there the lcd density. If you change density, usually nothing as such happens. Except that some widgets which are built on particular density crash. I had weather widget which used to work only in 320 density. So now it doesn't work in 280 (which is my current). I killed the widget now
What is the worst I have faced by changing the dpi? FCs, Widget Crashes & Once a bootloop. All three can be resolved by one thing: Flash back the ROM xD
2. Another app called as smart app protector (free) is in market. I guess they have a tab called 'Screen' through which you can set LCD to be awake when a particular app is running. I hope this should resolve. Not sure on this though.
3. It depends on which ROM you are in. Yes, we do have CRT animations. I am on Asylum ICS. I do have it.
If you want to go ahead and manually enable it: http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/enable-crt-animation
this should help you get some idea on how to.
Well, there ain't any shortcut to the manual trigger bouy!
Hey, how is it going.
lets get to the point right away.
Basically I Don't do multitasking more often and I'm more of a performance fan kinda person in other words f*** multitasking speed this Scheiße up a little bit for god sake.
So I have a couple questions for ya all today I'll be really grateful if you help me out and like my other posts everyone here will get a thank.
(I'm on about CM7)
1. how to disable multitasking or at least reduce the max number of active/running apps. (note!!! how to do that without home app being terminated)
2. how to tell the system not to terminate home app under any circumstances or just keep it in memory or cache it or dunno somehow don't touch it.
3. how to change the default values for settings of a ROM *
4. how to change the default values for settings of an app *
* => I'm gonna make a ROM, so basically I would like to change the default values to something else for example cpu freq or gov to my desire or changing the animation speed of the home app to something else in this case I'm on about launcherpro. so once I flash the ROM the settings are already set to what I wanted.
Note!!! I know some of that could be done through Cm dev app. but i'm thinking of some sort of script or build.prop lines or actually add these settings to cm settings which would be great.
Cheers!!!
I think spare parts has an option to set android's task manager to aggressive.
To lock the home app in memory, you can either,
Go to cyanogenmod settings>Performance >Lock home app in memory
Or you can put this line in build.prop: ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1

=====================
Cheers bro spare parts doesn't have that option and neither cyanogenmod settings or the home_app_adj=1 would work I was already aware of those but if you reduce the number of running apps to for example one or two once you open up one or two apps the home app will be terminated

All this can be done by editing the ramdisk folder in the kernel. (Except the app values ofc).!!
For no multitasking use dsixda kitchen. It has the option. Option 12 in the first advanced view if i ain't wrong. Other things you have to edit manually..

Don't be a noob. Be a newbie..!!

Cheers bro. Could you be a bit more specific what things could be done in that folder I mean is all the settings values stored in that folder like sound,brightness or other settings or is it just the CPU freq and gov ? And what about settings of an app?

Flashing an app's data and dalvik cache to the appropiate address will keep its settings.
You can also try modifying the kernel's minfree values to force the closing of inactive apps in favor of more free ram.
