Hi, is there a kernel or app that allows the screen to rotate 180 degrees? Ideally automatically show on screen buttons for that case as well. Annoys me every time I have to use the phone while charging... Thx

I find that my screen doesn't dim enough when I'm in a dark room. I've obviously taken manual control over brightness. I k ow its possible for the screen to to dimmer because my alarm application can dim the screen. But is like a way for this to be system wide. Does anybody know a way of doing this?
If you can share I'd be most appreciative.

I use something called screen filter from the market. It puts something similar to a black screen overlay on the screen and allows you to control how much it dims.

You can also get an app called Curvefish Brightness Level which will dim your screen lower. The phone controls only allow you to bring it down to 8%, I believe. This app lowers the brightness to 0%, which makes a difference.
For further dimming, use the app recommended above.
My eyes thank you both. I tried Curvefish's solution and it couldn't do low enough (works well, but my room is pitch black at night. Would work for someone in a theater which is why I'm keeping it). Screen filter works extremely well for my needs. The only downside is it does some funky things to blacks when enabled. I can live with that, and its a small price to pay for might time reading comfort.
Thanks again.
EDIT And if anyone wants to know, I'm using Alarm Clock Plus. I like it a lot.

Every now and then, my screen brightness keeps on lowering automatically. Sometimes, brightness gets reduced to half, sumtimes even lower!
All the settings under power saving is turned off + under display -> Auto adjust screen power is also unchecked…
Anybody knows wht can be this issue ???
I believed you could try disable this option too. As it also dim your screen according to the image or program showed on screen.
Hope this help.

Hi again, I just found another thing to make the screen dim after I set screen to low light.
When I set light to low. Any program I used will not effect to screen light except the build-in browser. When I open the browser my screen dim itself to high brightness.
As I recalled, build-in browser have function to dim the screen too. Maybe other programs may have this function and can effect screen dim.
Hope this may help.

I also have this problem of ramdom screen dimming.
Auto brightness unchecked. The same thing with unchecking auto config screen.
May be it's a conflict with the inner brightness of the default browser.
Now I'm on the latest stock software 4.1.2 but I'm rooted. All I did was install titanium backup.....anyways
The screens color flickers when in androids gradient screen. You know the splash screen when an app loads? The blue grey gradient? Flickers like mad. Also, I feel like the Bravia engine is always on and affecting the ui. Brightness will change by itself and so will the color sometimes. This didn't happen when I played a game!!! Software issue? I also loaded up gradient images in Google no issue there.
It's annoying, whenever a grey android menu pops up sometimes the brightness and color will dim then go back up again when I exit the prompt or menu. Help??
Ugh like right now, the loading circle spun when I posted this topic. When it disappeared my screen brightened up.

Prompts or menu things like this dim my brightness and color. Then when I exit it the brightness shoots right back up and color as well.
Is the brightness set to auto? Try setting manual brightness.
Edit : bootloader unlocked?

Brava engine and auto brightness turned off, brightness set to max
Fir example you press the power button and the menu opens right? You don't shut off and exit the menu. The brightness seems to have dimmed but goes back up again. This happened whenever grey menu pops up I think. Or when I pull down the notification center and exit it, the brightness seems to have dimmed.as well but goes back up again after.
How can I check fir bootloader unlock?

I'm sorry that I don't know what's exactly happening on your phone right now.
You could try resetting your phone to default settings and see if the problem still persists.
And forget about the bootloader part.

Ah it's okay, I've tried that. It seems like an overly aggressive Bravia Engine/auto brightness, except it doesn't apply to just photos and videos but the system as well.

on my xperia t it looks like the background ui elements get dimmed while foreground elements, like popups are still bright. This looks like a compositing effects with a nice dim transition and this looks pretty normal to me.
Why is my xperia t u able to render gradient images properly?
I mean the screen shots are low quality but clearly you can see that the edges of the glow look bad.

Is it just me or my camera controls are always horizontal no matter the phone's orientation? I have to either focus somewhere or flip the phone to make it right.

The camera App has always started in the landscape position since I can remember back to the OG Evo no matter if the phone is held in portrait or not...If you ever take a photo in portrait that ends up in landscape you can simply rotate the photo in edit mode right from the gallery app
I have noticed this but if you hold in portrait mode and tap the screen to focus, it will kick it in portrait mode. The LTEVO was like that also.

Here are some doubts i have about the screen orientation: the home screen is always displayed in portrait mode, Doesn't care about what settings i have, whether itis locked in landscape mode or not, or anything of that sort. I tried disabling the 180 degree orientation leaving only 90 and 270 checked. No go. Is this normal in all CM10.1 installations, or is it specific to the Ovation or is it purely my own dumbness, if that's even a word? I am more confused because i allowed the lock screen to be displayed in landscape, and it does. Just not the home screen.
Secondly the Skype app willonly work at 90 degrees orientation. Not even 270. Even if it is locked to landscape, shouldn't it be available at both 90 AND 270?
All other apps reorient or lock as per the tile in my quick settings panel. Why then is the home screen and Skype so stubborn.
I am running CM10.1 2030719 UNOFFICIAL Ova
