a backlight widget that works?

Morning, all!
Just a quick one. Has anyone found a back light widget that actually works on the Hero? Everyone I've tried get over ridden by the Os. (I've got auto-backlight off in settings, but still no joy. ) I could really do with one for when I'm using Copilot. I've got 'toggle settings' which is handy but no joy with the backlight.
Cheers
OP.

YES!!
look in the market for an app called "KEEPSCREEN"
works like a treat. i use it to stop the screen going off while in a call and while using co pilot.

Vis-a-vis Copilot, have you tried setting the backlight to "Always On" in the application itself? Works for me!
Regards,
Dave

Don't mean to be a Nazi, but I suppose you meant 'A propos'?

No, I meant vis-a-vis!

I use something called Screebl that keeps your backlight on, unless you lie your phone flat.
It can also save your battery if you set screen time out to a short time. Screen stays on while you hold the phone. Screen switches off quickly when phone is put down.

grr, double post.

Thanks for those suggestions. I've got and use keep screen and set the backlight in copilot to stay on. But I've just realised I didn't make myself clear, sorry. in the words of the spice girls, what I want, what I really really want is to toggle the screen brightness to full quickly via a widget before I go into copilot or google maps etc.
Thanks again!

-Its a pain going in & out of settings for backlight, and auto is to bright.

Stop lockscreen password?

Hi there,
I was just wondering if it was possible to change when the lockscreen password screen comes up? I want the password protection to show ONLY when my phone turns on, and not when i'm simply awakening my phone. I find it quite annoying.
Anybody know if this is possible through a hack or something? I'm using an unlocked Hero running VillainROM 10.
Thanks in advance,
Alex

there are half a doxen apps that do this, search the market.

Search the market for what exactly? :S I've searched a bit... found loads of alternate lockscreens. But I haven't found an app that will disable the native lockscreen password, but keep it for when the phone boots up.

there is one, sorry i cant rememeber the name, that puts it on a timer. Just search lock and go through them...

try g lock?

okay my bad I was wrong, it isnt working. what settings did you use? Mine was working, but it also stopped the password protection at the startup of the phone too - which isnt good !

i cant remember, i stopped using it now, because i dont use a password at all, just threaten people who pick up my phone.

I don't suppose anyone else has looked into this? I'm also in the same boat, I really just want something to protect startup.

[Q] Locking screen with home button?

Would it be possible to modify a firmware or create an app that runs automatically, that would let the home button be used to lock screen? Kinda like the last thing, after returning to the home screen?

yes i guess it's possible, since it's open-source you can almost all you want.

I guess it has to be implemented in launcher.

Should be possible...
Alternatively, is there a widget that simulates the lock button ?
Would be handy for me, i always mute my phone when i want to lock it LoL

hello guys ...
Perhaps there is an application that can do for you ..
Download by market a free application called "lock screen widget"... put the widget on the home and lock the screen just click on the widget ..
I find it amazing ..
I hope you like it
Sorry if my english is not very good

Im using a paid app called screen off. Works great. Tried other free ones but didn't work well.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Thanks for your suggestions. Im only interested in the actual home button. If someone would kindly start develop something that could do the trick for me, I would be the first to donate 10$?

I'll try to look into it, I have simple yet not-so-sure-about idea.

Works fine for me - and by the way, I love this feature - being able to take notes on the screen without unlocking first - just awesome.

I found out that one of the setting in ceberus app that cause me not able to use the toolbar.

YES! Glad I found this thread as it was driving me nuts. Turning "Block Status Bar" in Ceberus did the trick.

Bad experience with the new One UI update

After the update, those 2 useless bars appeared I've tried to find every setting to turn them off but I can't find any (I already looked in the Edge Screen and all those advanced function settings) nothing helps
Please help me Thank you!
P/s: its function is Back, but I don't need 2 extra Back! My nav works fine!
(Solved) it turns out that the One Hand Operation+ app causes this, I uninstalled it and they are gone

Its been removed i guess, if you haven't cleaned your phone after a major update, now would be a good time for that.

Thanks but I dont wanna lose all my apps and game progress moreover they only appeared after the update, I'm not sure factory reset can help do you have the same problem to your phone?

Oh it turned down that the One Hand Operation+ app cause this. Thanks guys

I dont have the issue, i haven't factor reset too. Few people have it and it was solved by reset. It is highly advisable to factory reset. Those lines are actually a navigation gesture. If you swipe download from the line, it acts as back button and swipe straight horizontally to go to home. Swipe upwards for recent apps.
Make backup using smart switch and use google to sync game progress.
