je1 switch off backlight

[Guest freeall]

my phone's rom is JE1 lite by twu2 ,and i'd like to know if there is any application that can switch off backlight easily.i heard previous some old ROMS give you the option to turn off backlight ,but obviously that's not the case for JE1. i had downloaded some reg file from somewhere else and imported it to the registry,and it worked fine,the only annoyance is that every time i try to import it, i get a pop-up message warning me that doing so may corrupt the system.can i possibly disable that warning message? Thank you very much in advance.

This is how I do it, I usually keep the backlight turned off, but when I go out in the sun I need a quick way to turn it on/off.

BacklightToggle.exe changes backlight registry value on/off every time it's run. If your backlight is off and you run backlighttoggle.exe and tap anywhere on the screen, backlight turns on. If you want to turn it off, run backlighttoggle.exe again and wait for backlight to timeout (which is set in "Power Settings", minimum 30 sec) or simply just lock and unlock your device.

copy BacklightToggle.lnk to Windows/Start Menu/Programs

copy BacklightToggle.exe to Windows

(or modify the shortcut and copy BacklightToggle.exe where ever you want)

Now you can assign any button to BacklightToggle

I don't know if it will work on your ROM but you can try.

I use this mortscript that toggles between 3 states

backlight off

automatically adjusted backlight using lightsensor

full brightness

RegWriteDword ("HKCU", "ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel", "LockLevel",0)

bl = RegRead ("HKCU", "ControlPanel\Backlight", "BatteryTimeout")

if (bl = 7)

toggle = 0

else

toggle = RegRead ("HKCU", "ControlPanel\Backlight", "gkbltoggle")

endif

if (toggle = 0)

RegWriteDword ("HKCU", "ControlPanel\Backlight", "gkbltoggle",1)

RegWriteDword ("HKCU", "ControlPanel\Backlight", "BacklightOnTap",0)

RegWriteDword ("HKCU", "ControlPanel\Backlight", "ALCMode", 0)

Can you please describe more detailed how to use this script or, much more better put all nesessary files with instruction. Thank you in advance.

download mortscript and install it on your phone, follow the instructions at the link below, it might need a soft reset.

unzip the attached file to somewhere on your phone and run it using file explorer or whatever.

it ought to work.

Good luck

thanks a lot for your replies.i tried both solutions,sadly none of them worked for me. i downloaded the apps from ciribic and tried to run it,but nothing happened ,not even a popup message.The mortscript posted by GunnarKarlsson doesn't work as it should either.i got a warning message as shown in the attached screenshot when i tried to run it.i did install Mortscript for SP and soft reset the phone.is it something wrong with the ROM my phone's running on or i have not done everything as required? Thanks again.

no messages should popup if reg key was successfully changed, so I'm guessing you were running it more than once and not knowing what it actually did. Give it one more try:

1. Disable backlight manually (so you know for sure it's off), in official rom it's in settings->general->power->battery power

(make sure you have no cables connected power or usb, because this doesn't affect brightness when on external power)

2. Lock and unlock your device

3. run togglebacklight.exe (only once!!)

4. tap anywhere on the screen (screen should become brighter)

now to disable brightness:

5. run togglebacklight.exe (only once!!)

6. lock and unlock your device.

now just repeat steps 3-6 to turn it on/off again.

Is it ever possible to toggle the backlight without having to lock/unlock? my point is, the operations to run togglebacklight.exe and then lock/unlock doesn't save much time compared to going into settings and manually disable backlight.

No, it is all ok with your phone. It is little mistake in script file, "endif" line was written twice. You can use corrected file below. One tap is disable backlight, one more switched device to auto mode and one more put max back light.

Many thanx to GunnarKarlsson
