Backlight's effect on screen rotation?

[Guest jakeordie]

So I flashed to DXHI1 today (thanks Secany!) and re-entered all my settings, and I noticed something odd. Under Settings>System>Power>Battery Power there is a checkbox for "Turn on backlight when a button is pressed or the screen is tapped". If this box is unchecked, the accelerometer turns off with the backlight & screen rotation is disabled. The only way I've found to re-activate screen rotation is checking the box.

Maybe it was this way on earlier ROMs, I'm not sure. What I'd like is to turn the backlight off entirely but keep the screen rotation. Does anyone know of a setting or registry edit that can make this happen?

And while we're talking registry edits, does anyone know how to take the leading zero out of the digital clock widget? ;)
